Hope they get back to you soon! @Missgoldilocks

Cd9 and coming into fertile week soon I think!

Missgoldilocks · 10/03/2020 16:21

@Laur89 nooo I rang the actual lab today and they said it isn't ready yet and it can take 15 days!! There's a backlog 🤦‍♀️ oh well, I mean it doesn't make much difference anyway! At least we will get the results at some point. I'm pretty sure his results will be good, I dunno, he's sooooo healthy. 🤷‍♀️ We will see. How are you doing?? Xx

Laur89 · 10/03/2020 15:32

@Missgoldilocks any news on the results yet?

Missgoldilocks · 10/03/2020 14:51

@PrettyTulip loool yes exactly the taking forever lark man 🙄

PrettyTulip · 10/03/2020 07:10

@Missgoldilocks @Annny27 I deffo understand it feeling like a chore & DH can only do it every other day otherwise he takes hours to finish and I can't be doing with that 😂 still awaiting for his 'kit' to come in the post 🤣🤣

I'm CD28 today. No spotting yet, 🤞 hopefully not another 60 days to go lol

Missgoldilocks · 09/03/2020 22:27

@anny27 sorry its not letting me tag your new name! Yes, it's not good at all! Plus I'll probably be moread if af comes knowing I didn't have loads of sex 🙄 but you know what, it's not good feeling like it's a chore, it can lead to negative things happening so we gotta do something!
I told him we can just try to only do it 2 or 3 times hopefully that works!

Annny27 · 09/03/2020 20:57

@missgoldilocks it has totally been the same. my DH literally says "do we have to do it tonight....." like it's actually become a chore for both of us 🙄🙄 not good

Missgoldilocks · 09/03/2020 20:38

@PrettyTulip I literally ate everything lol now I'm back to eating clean. I've put on way too much weight feeling sorry for myself these past months I've gotta get a grip! How are you?

And @anny27 @Gems7?
Me and OH had a talk and we both feel like Ttc is taking the pleasure out of our sex life, it is during fertile week. So I think I have to stop panicking and saying we have to dtd everyday... I might just try and do it twice during fertile week but its going to do my head in! Lol x

PrettyTulip · 08/03/2020 19:27

So sorry ladies @Missgoldilocks @Gems7, hoping your binging on choc & all other tasty treats xxx

Missgoldilocks · 08/03/2020 15:39

@Gems7😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dead! Hahaha
@Laur89 @anny27 I bought walnuts an started my OH on them today luckily he loves nuts! Also this month starting him on 2000mg vitamin c a day, I read it can increase sperm count an motility by 90 percent!! I'm going to drink a glass of grapefruit a day, 2000mg primrose oil and robuttisin cough medicine to help along ewcm
Yeah the cramps can fuck themselves they are killing!!

Annny27 · 08/03/2020 14:47

Ahahahahaha @Gems7 the things we do 🤣🤣🤣 I was drinking grapefruit juice to help cervical mucus and it was disgusting

Gems7 · 08/03/2020 14:42

@Laur89 oh bloody hell are you joking me.. I thought we were supposed to be eating them! You're telling me I've been munching them since Friday for nothing.. they're vile! 🤮😂😂😂

Laur89 · 08/03/2020 14:03

Ahh sorry girls af is there for you! @Annny27 yeah you're coming up to a good part now with the fertile window :) will you use opks this month? I don't think I will have an early scan, I've got my booking appointment when I'm 10 weeks then just gonna wait for my 12 week scan! Feels so long away 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️
@Gems7 make sure your oh is having walnuts for his sperm, that's what the doc told me, I don't think it benefits us ladies so much?

Gems7 · 08/03/2020 13:14

Yes CD1 today for me. Woke at 5am with the worst AF cramps ever 🥺
I think I may have a possible progesterone issue, that's what my gut is telling me anyway although I know you can still have babies with low progesterone, just need OH to have his sperm test then I can go back to my GP 😊 onto cycle 9 now. I have seen a natural progesterone cream you can buy. So I'm going to order some and use it this cycle to see if it makes a difference. And eat lots of broccoli LOL (aswell as the walnuts, I have a big bag of them in my handbag and munch on a few each day 😃) what are we like eh haha
@Missgoldilocks AF cramps can go fuck themselves!! 👌🏻🙃
@Annny27 you're coming up to the best part 🥰
Xx

Annny27 · 08/03/2020 10:54

I am cd6 now so AF ended yesterday so probably a week away from fertile week - my cycles are a bit mucked up after miscarriage so I just go with the flow haha!

I have been off contraception since end of May so I guess 10 months for me! Yep maybe ask the doctor about endometriosis, I get period pain but only really cramping that can be helped with ibuprofen so not severe

Missgoldilocks · 08/03/2020 10:46

@anny27 thanks xx it's crap. Can't wait for sperm results next week! Then go onto have a look at me... I might bring up possible endometriosis because I don't know whether having so much pain in my ovaries is normal during af and when I go toilet. I don't remember it always being like this! Onto "official" month 8 but it'll be a year in April that I've been off contraception!! How are you doing? Near fw?

Annny27 · 08/03/2020 10:38

Awwh sorry it arrived @missgoldilocks:(

@Gems7 yep I have spotting the day before AF, sometimes 2 days before which I think is normal but anything more can be a progesterone issue I think

@laur89 hope your little bean is doing well. Will you have an early scan?

Missgoldilocks · 08/03/2020 10:34

@Gems7 I'm super glad I have you girls too xxx have you got a full flow yet? I have, bloody painful too x

Gems7 · 07/03/2020 20:14

@Missgoldilocks it's strange isn't it how we experience different things as the cycles go on.. you with the nausea me with the spotting. Every month is different but you just have to carry on don't you. No matter how disappointed you may feel just pick yourself up and keep going. I think we are all made of tough stuff on here 😊 so glad I have all you girls to talk to xx

Missgoldilocks · 07/03/2020 19:26

@Gems7 glad you aren't down about it xx don't think I couldn't stop tracking though lool I think the worst thing about it all is getting af...
I've got brown spotting now and I feel so sick I just had a nap. It's only the last couple of cycles I've felt really sick first day of period it's awful xx
Holidays always make things better :)

Gems7 · 07/03/2020 18:22

@Missgoldilocks thanks huni, yeah I defo think it's time to go back and pester my gp. I'm going to call them next week. I read about isoflavones, but to be honest people recommend so many different things it's really hard to know what to do or what will work for you isn't it.
My spotting is more red now rather than pink and more of it but still not what I would call full flow yet. Can't be long now though. I think I'll try one more cycle of tracking ovulation and symptoms in my diary then stop doing all that for a while, less stress and all that and see if that makes a difference. Looking for holidays right now so I'm not too down about it really 😊 xx

Missgoldilocks · 07/03/2020 17:30

@Gems7 Ahhh I hope you have some answers soon. If af does show maybe you should talk to your doc about low progesterone. Someone just started taking isoflavones and it make their ovulation earlier as their luteal. Phase was too short I don't. Know if that could. Help with spotting?
I have blood up by my cervix but it isn't coming down yet x

Gems7 · 07/03/2020 16:45

Lower back ache that was supposed to say not power back ache 😂 although that's also a good description of it I suppose LOL

Gems7 · 07/03/2020 16:44

@Annny27 no 😞 12/13DPO today, been spotting every day since 9/10DPO 🤷🏻‍♀️
What's going on..
spotting for 4 days... why? 😒
When I had the implant in my periods were like
Clockwork, I never had spotting either, ever.
Even the first 6-7 months of TTC I didn't.. but the last 2 cycles I have had it.. only 2 days prior to AF last cycle which I believe is normal but today is day 4 so far. I have really bad power back ache currently so maybe AF will show by the end of today, I hope so really so I can just get on with things. Sorry for the rant I'm just confused I guess.
Hope all you lovely girls are okay and enjoying your weekend 😘 xx

Annny27 · 07/03/2020 15:48

Atleast they have you on the records now @PrettyTulip :D

@Missgoldilocks have a lovely break - Amsterdam's lovely
