Anyone know which vitamins/supplements are recommended for helping sperm motility etc? OH has agreed to try something this month xx

Gems7 · 06/02/2020 10:42

@Ellsbells112 I don't have tests in the house because I know what I'm like and I just can't face that disappointment 😭 I'm so sorry you have a BFN, it's just shit!! It is still early though like @Anny27 said.. when is AF due for you?

I know AF is on the way for me.. yesterday I was extremely bloated and crampy all day and night it was awful. Woke up this morning with a spot on my chin which is another classic AF sign for me. Boobs still don't hurt which is strange but I'm not reading too much into it because all the other signs are there. So I feel crap. 10 or 11 DPO today.. AF due Saturday and then on to another month we go ☹️

@Anny27 ovulation must be any day now then for you, good luck mrs xx

Anny27 · 06/02/2020 10:21

Ahh still early! @ellsbells112

Will you retest or wait till AF due?

Cd12 today, no signs of ovulation yet

Ellsbells112 · 06/02/2020 10:04

@Gems7 well I'm 11dpo and bfn not surprised honestly lol how are you? Xx

Gems7 · 04/02/2020 16:57

@Ellsbells112 hopefully we are wrong as they say pregnancy cramps are similar to AF cramps, but I'm doubtful. At least we all have each other to vent to. I'd go mad if i had to bottle
It all up inside! Xx

Ellsbells112 · 04/02/2020 16:02

@Gems7 awww thanks xx I know, literally now if I don't get a bfp this month or next month etc I know that things are in motion to get looked at and that's literally all I can ask for!
Ah that's good for you too, keep me updated!!
I've had the same today and I just feel like af is literally going to come (felt this before too) xxx

Gems7 · 04/02/2020 15:39

@Ellsbells112 oh that's brilliant!! Really chuffed for
You, I'm trying to have the same, scan/tubes checked etc, but waiting for OH's GP to do the sperm sample. At least things are moving along for you, that's all you can ask for really isn't it. It's the "not knowing" that's difficult. Just having to wonder every month why it's not happening.. is there a problem or not?
Glad you feel much better about it.

I feel bloated and crampy and irritable and ugly today. I've had "twinges" in the left tube area that I can only describe as somebody gently pinching a nerve on and off with tweezers or something 😂 it doesn't hurt and I'm pretty sure I've experienced it before so I know in my heart it will be AF getting herself ready! Xx

Ellsbells112 · 04/02/2020 13:43

@Gems7 well I'm really happy because she took me dead serious. She said the average time to get pregnant is 8 months, I told her my history and she said there could be possible scarring causing issues. From what I told her she said she knows I'm ovulating (all the tracking) but she just wants me to get a day 21 blood done and my partners sperm checked and then if that is all okay she can refer me to have my tubes checked which literally makes me so happy. I won't be stuck in limbo anymore thinking have I effed myself or is it his sperm etc Ahhh I'm super happy with this!! I get the 21 day blood done on 2nd march! Signing my partner up at the docs and getting a sperm analysis done! Whoop xx
How are you feeling now? I'm getting af pains but think that's normal, I'll be due Sunday or Monday.

@anny27 get ready for dtd gurl!!! Haha, I bet you will fall again quickly and everything will be healthy and fine xx

Gems7 · 04/02/2020 13:24

@Anny27 ooooo you're entering the best time 😊 good luck hun xx

Gems7 · 04/02/2020 13:23

@Ellsbells112 I'm in the same boat as you are. I think I'm definitely ovulating, I'm getting all the signs that I am, my cycles are regular aswell so that's not the issue for me either (I don't think)
We will try one more cycle this month and then going back to the GP to demand some tests.
Let us know how you got on today.. xx

Anny27 · 04/02/2020 12:17

Hey :)

I am cd10 and entering fertile week I think, not doing OPKs this month, just going to DTD every 2 days and potentially every other day this weekend when I am "supposed" to ovulate

@Robbo93 hopefully the doctor is useful! Let us know how you get on!

@Ellsbells112 fingers crossed for you for this month! And yeah deffo good to see the doctors if its approaching a year. Not really sure how to class our ttc length as We have technically been been trying for 5 cycles. Took 4 cycles (June- september) to conceive than was pregnant september - November, then miscarriage and a month off so it's only been 1 cycle this time but overall been 8 months since we first started haha

Ellsbells112 · 04/02/2020 09:00

@Robbo93 @Gems7 I just realised that I've been off contraception for 11 months, but 'officially' trying for 6 months (tracking and doing opks but we was dtd in fertile week too prior) I've got a doctors appointment today and I'm going to say that to her, hopefully they can start some tests. I know I'm definitely ovulating that's not the issue so let's seeeee

Ellsbells112 · 03/02/2020 20:00

@Robbo93 yeah definitely mention it to them! Hopefully they can help x

Robbo93 · 03/02/2020 18:52

@Ellsbells112 yes probably as I've already got a lot of CM if that was a period 👽
I've got doctors next week tho so I'm gonna mention the lack of AF & low temps that I've had x

Ellsbells112 · 03/02/2020 18:46

@Robbo93 Ohh glad it's stopped, will you start opks now? Xx

Robbo93 · 03/02/2020 17:52

@Ellsbells112 hiya sweetie. Hope you're okay.

I think I've finished spotting now. Had it for a week, not sure whether to class it as a 'period' or not 🤔 xx

Ellsbells112 · 03/02/2020 15:54

@Gems7 me too!! That's a good idea, I've been asking my OH but he's not having it 🙄 xx
I wonder what happened to @Gigi318

@Robbo93
How's it going?? Xx

@anny27 how are you xx

And @Laur89 xx

Gems7 · 03/02/2020 15:09

@Ellsbells112 I'm just an impatient cow when I want something badly 🤣
It defo can take a while can't it.
We will be going back to OH's GP after one more cycle to hopefully have his sperm tested xx

Ellsbells112 · 03/02/2020 12:29

@Gems7 awww that's good!! The opks make you feel more like yep I know I've done it at the right time!! Which is great. I don't think the cm means anything but I'm definitely noting it down so I can cross reference if no bfp this month 😩 hopefully won't have to!!

You know what's making me feel better is researching how long it took others to concieve and actually its quite cool that it varies, like their first pregnancy concieve in one month and second 10 months!! That's so different and it makes me think it's okay, sometimes it can just take a little whole longer maybe. Still frustrating but at least it's not unheard of, hard not to lose your mind though 😂🤞

I'm googling constantly it's doing my head in I need a hobby obviously hahaha xx

Gems7 · 03/02/2020 12:04

@Ellsbells112 I really don't want AF to come
either, I just know I'm going to feel so deflated and upset when it does. Hopefully no symptoms is a good thing.. for both of us..
wonder that the discharge was about.. 👀 I haven't really had much of it. I know I've defo ovulated this month because of the spotting and DTD at the right times so I've got everything crossed for this month!! Xx
Xx

Ellsbells112 · 03/02/2020 11:30

@Gems7 I'm due Sunday or Monday! I have no symptoms whatsoever either feel exactly the same as usual. The only difference was today I was super wet and was like wtf and had a look, wet patch in my knickers lol and it was like cloudy lotion like but a lot of it. I know that isn't a sign just something different lol I'm scared I don't want af to come 😥😣
Maybe you feelijg nothing is actually something then? Xx

Gems7 · 03/02/2020 10:21

Hey girls!
Hope you all had a fab weekend!
Any update @Ellsbells112 ? How you feeling..
I don't have any symptoms whatsoever! My boobs would normally be hurting by now ready for AF aswell but they aren't even hurting! I feel absolutely fine! Last 2 cycles have been 27 days so if that's the case then AF due on Saturday!
When's it due for you? Xx

Robbo93 · 30/01/2020 20:25

@Ellsbells112 @Anny27 I'm gonna mention it at my doctors appt in a couple of weeks seeing as I'm not getting my blood test results until April 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's so strange though cos I've had a normal period every month for the last year up until now x

Anny27 · 30/01/2020 20:16

@ellsbells112 its enjoyable the first two times 😅🤣 Gets so boring when it's a necessity and its scheduled as such haha!

@Robbo93 ah that is interesting! I ask because my friend had thyroid issues thats causing her to spot but not actually have a "proper" period as such

Ellsbells112 · 30/01/2020 20:12

@Robbo93 ahh that's so annoying! Interesting about the bbt though so it's good you're tracking it ow so you can show the doc. I know a girl who knew she had a thyroid issue and the doctor wouldn't listen to her, there is a normal blood test they do fornthoryoid but apparently there is another they don't usually do (I don't know the name) but that's the one that speaks truth.

@anny27 ahh yayy you can have all that baby making sex! Whoop haha I dunno if you enjoy it but I'm literally over it the first day!! I'm so sick of scheduled sex

@Gems7 yup always and just sit here waiting to feel something lmao I swear I actually get depressed during the 2ww.can it be over yet? Xx
