Anyone starting the TWW #2

Thanks for the support ladies. It means a lot. Found a local fertility clinic that will do a fertility assessment on me and DH for £400 so think I'm gonna do that xx

@anny27 yeah, I can't imagine what else they can do? I've had all tests done lol and everything is normal. I guess they could do a Laparoscopy (had to Google that spelling haha) so I dunno. I think for me it wil be just waiting and hoping for bfp and if not then January medical intervention x

Morning everyone :) 12dpo no symptoms so imagine AF will be on the way. Sick of it all now haha

@Gems7 that sounds similar to me tbh - I am having bloods done at start of next cycle and then a mid cycle ultrasound (oh joy I get to have one of them again.......)

Did they do you day 21 bloods? I had mine on Monday

@PrettyTulip thats so rubbish :( sorry lovely! Hopefully the weight is easy to lose and that you can get referred super quickly!!!

@Missgoldilocks thats good that you'll have an appointment sooner at a different hospital!! :D

@laur89 ooh not long to go now :D

@PrettyTulip it's complete and utter shit!! I'm a size 12, healthy, fit, and my BMI still goes into "overweight" .. My weight is fine though I'm happy with it. I'm slim and healthy, I have been in the "normal" BMI category in my twenties and I looked hideous and so poorly. I was told constantly I needed to put weight on so don't beat yourself up over it. That shitty BMI calculator does NOT define everybodys perfect weight, it can't because no two bodies are the same. But like @Missgoldilocks said, to tick the boxes 4kg isn't hard to lose girl, you can do it!!

Had my apt this afternoon, left feeling a bit underwhelmed really. I need to have bloods taken at the beginning of my next cycle to check hormones (not a clue which ones) , and also a scan of my ovaries to see my follicles, eggs etc and then he said they would flush my tubes 😣
He said I can continue with the herbal progesterone (haven't taken it since April) he said many women continue taking it into their pregnancies and are fine but obviously couldn't cement the fact that it's 100% fine because it's not a licensed medicine.
Once all the results etc come back then they will prescribe me progesterone pessaries if I need them.
So not much to take away from it all really but I don't know what I expected, at least I'm further along than I was!

Xx

@PrettyTulip that's such a fucking pisstake!! Bmi is bollocks and was created for insurance companies!! When I was at my slimmest and moooost fittest ever my Bmi was obese!! 😳😩 They are such shit talkers fuck them! But you know what 4kg is so easy to lose you can lose that in water weight literally do one week of NO carbs and you'll have dropped it, so get an appointment and say you've dropped the weight or whatever if they need to weigh you and make sure it's at the end of the first week you have stopped all carbs and drink loads of water every day guarantee 4 kg (or more) will be gone x

@Laur89 hope all goes well in the next couple of weeks 💐

@Gems7 hope you're doing okay my lovely. Hope your appt is promising.

@Annny27 hope you're doing ok too my dear

@Missgoldilocks fantastic you're getting some treatment sooner! Fingers crossed you get somewhere in the next month or two!

My update; had a call from the drs this morning. The hospital has refused my referral because I'm 4kg over the entry bmi 😤😤 I've got to lose that 4kg so the drs can refer me again but the hospital won't physically see me until I'm at least 30bmi which is complete and utter bullshit. BMI is such a bad judgement of health, you can be super skinny and have a high BMI ... argggh lol 😂 I'm gonna be TTC forever x x

@Laur89 ahh so glad to hear everything is going well!! Big hugs to you ❤️❤️

@Gems7 I don't even know what dpo I am!! Lol but had some great news!! The hospital rang me today and asked if I wanted to be moved to another nearby hospital that have fertility appointments now!! So I said yes obvs and just waiting on a phone call with an appointment sooo happy 😊. Good luck today let us know xx

@Missgoldilocks I'm good thanks, CD6, nothing to report apart from the odd cramp, bloating but that's normal!
Fertility apt this afternoon, excited and anxious. OH dropping sperm sample off too, so hopefully get some answers soon, I'll let you all know how I get on.
@Laur89 not long now, so excited for you. Bet you can't wait! Xx

Hey girls, how are you all? Sorry I've not checked in recently, lots going on here preparing for the new arrival and dealing with a toddler 🤦‍♀️ still not had him yet... I'm 37 weeks now so could come at anytime! I will let you all know when he's here :)
I'm still thinking about you all and hoping you all get your BFPs, I still feel part of your journeys ☺️ big hugs to you all xxx

Afternoon!

@Missgoldilocks omg we have been talking on here for so long! As if we are all still here 😭😭 well @laur89 would have maybe had her baby by now so there's one success story!

@PrettyTulip let's hope it isn't too long to wait!!

Ummm this new thread of ours was started 26th October 2019 😬

@PrettyTulip that's so shit I'm sorry!! That's why I have to wait till january because if the back log 🙄😬 xx

@Missgoldilocks I know how you feel.. you want so badly to be happy for them, of course you do they're your friends and they aren't to blame. But you can't help but feel jealousy/hatred/anger/sad at the same time. Totally get you chick 💐

@Annny27 I rang them straight away to get booked in, however, the doctor that deals with infertility has been called to help with COVID and therefore there's a backlog from April 😔 I'm on the waiting list but who knows when I'll get seen xx

@PrettyTulip thanks girl how are you doing?

@Annny27 it's so hard not to! I'm in the car and I'm like ohhh I feel sick Symptom!? Haha q🙄😅😅😅😅 we are going to my OH friends house they have like an 8 month old baby and they fell pregnant like as soon as they got together. I feel like an awful person for being jealous 😔

@Gems7 hope you're OK xx

Evening :D

@missgoldilocks I am trying my hardest not to think about my dpo this tww! But think I am about 6ish. I havent even ben recording my "symptoms" in my app because they never mean anything haha! Do you think you have ovulated now?

@gems7 I know! I must have spent hundreds on pregnancy and ovulation tests plus fertility friendly lube etc etc! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ haha

@PrettyTulip thanks lovely! Whens your appointment or has it not come through yet?

@Missgoldilocks so pleased about your mum, that is absolutely wonderful!

@Annny27 that's good! Fingers crossed you get your sticky BFP when his morphology gets better!

@anny27 thanks chick, how many dpo are you now?

@Annny27 omg that's hilarious 😂 your poor bank balance! Haha we are bloody crazy aren't we!! Pissing money away.. literally!!

@Missgoldilocks AMAZING news about your mum!! You must be relieved! Xx

@missgoldilocks just saw the message about your mum- amazing :D

Thanks girls you've made me feel a lot better!!

@missgoldilocks so annoying for you :( sometimes mine goes from ewcm to wet before ovulation! Yep you have covered a lot of bases :)

@gems7 talking of spending money.....look.how many times I have purchased these bloody tests. Its embarrasing 😂😂

@Gems7 I know tell me about it I'm in two minds to start tracking temp again and leave it at that! But due to my cycle changing now I'm gonna need those sticks for a few cycles if I don't fall that is 😬😬
Also great news!! My mums cancer is within the bowels it hasn't spread, so they plan to operate but best news we could have gotten xx

@Missgoldilocks as long as you are DTD regularly (like you are) that's all you can do. Hope they get back to normal soon,
I'm just about to buy yet more ovulation tests online ready for next cycle, don't even want to sit and think about how much money I have spent on them since TTC!! Xx

@anny27 awww that's so cute of him! Like @Gems7 said the high count is great and morphology can be made better :) xxxx

Yeah I ovulated cd18 last month and today is cd17 and my cervix still hasn't risen or softened, I'm still wet but no more ewcm like I was getting a few days ago? I'm so baffled, let's see if it softens tomorrow. We've dtd cd11 cd14 (twice) cd15 and then tonight cd17 so we are covered xx

@Annny27 awww that's so cute!! My OH is taking his sample to the hospital on Tuesday and I am expecting something similar with his results.
Having more sperm than average is brilliant though, could have been much much worse so take the positives, he can improve morphology with herbs/vitamins xx

Thank you @gems7 I have told him to look into it :)

Bless his heart, he has just made himself salad and tomatoes and raw carrots to tey and improve his diet! I am so proud of how proactive he is being 🥰🥰
