That was supposed to say "allsorts of fertility assessments"

Gems7 · 10/09/2020 09:20

@Annny27 yeah I was so upset about it all that day, I anxiously called them back yesterday but spoke with a lovely girl who was so helpful and made me an appointment for this Friday with a doctor that the hostile receptionist I spoke with on Tuesday told me I would have to wait another 2 weeks for... why are some people so rude and unhelpful eh!? There's just no need to be like that with people, you never know what they are going through, she's clearly in the wrong job!
Anyway I'll see what they say now on Friday, I'm not working so if they call early this time I will be ready! Haha if I get told I have to wait until I have had a third miscarriage then I have a the number for a private clinic. Can I ask you which one did you use? What did you ask for when you called them? The one I have been recommended offers Alpert's of fertility assessments etc on their website but I feel like I don't need most of it.. my tubes must be ok, sperm, ovulation etc.. I literally just need to speak to somebody I think and maybe have the pessaries that you were issued with..

It's sad isn't it that you have to count yourself out from the start, that you aren't allowed to get excited and get your hopes up, it makes it easier for us to deal with when we write ourselves off! I'm very envious of the women who are happy and excited the whole way through. I've got my fingers tightly crossed for you this cycle! Xx

Annny27 · 10/09/2020 08:08

morning girls :) 8dpo for me and the 2nd part of the tww starts when I become a bit crazy :p but I actually think times have changed I used to be madly obsessed over each symptom but now i almost start the tww thinking that I am out......ofcourse with a glimmer of hope!

@Missgoldilocks oh glad your peak wasn't too delayed ;D tww for you too then!!

@gems7 thats so rubbish that the GP didn't stick to yiur appointment time!!! Have you managed to rearrange?

Missgoldilocks · 08/09/2020 17:35

@Gems7 oh that's just horrible!! You should look up go surgeries in your area to find out which is the best rated and switch to them! That's terrible :/ xx

I got my peak! Two days lqlate today is cd17! But I got it and lots of ewcm x

Gems7 · 08/09/2020 13:02

Well I got nowhere with the gp!
I had a telephone apt scheduled for 9:30, I work in a hospital so I made sure I was available at 9:15, 15 mins before my apt!! I sat in the restaurant and checked my phone to see they had bloody called me at 8:50 over half an hour before my appointment!! I called them back and the receptionist was just so rude and unhelpful, said i could reschedule for another 2 weeks, I put the phone down on her in the end then just sat there and cried! My gp surgery is literally the worst!!
I am off tomorrow, and I'm going to call a private clinic first thing and pay privately, I can't wait any longer!!
Nightmare!! Xx

Missgoldilocks · 08/09/2020 09:13

@anny27 yeah it normally dries up. All the while we was dtd over the weekend I was dry (I thought it was the isoflavones) but last night wet and today wet. I'll keep an eye on it but will dtd tonight and every other night. I'm just bugging because I've read some posts that some people didn't ovulate at all on them! Why didn't that info come up when I was researching!? 😑
How are you? Xx

Annny27 · 08/09/2020 09:05

Morning :) 6dpo now for me

@Gems7 thanks lovely, I really hope so! The joy of thr first trimester is gone for us unfortunately with our miscarriages 😭

Hahah your body us so bored of ttc as well that it doesn't even make it sexy during it 😂😂

@Missgoldilocks does your cm change after ovulation? Thats how I know that I have ovulated if I do ovulate early

Missgoldilocks · 08/09/2020 08:50

@Gems7 awww babes that's the worst when you feel like that!! Don't worry about it, drink loads of water that always makes me feel better in like a day! Lol

Well still stark white opks and cd17! I had a tiny bit of ewcm last night, so might just dtd tonight just in case as dish tmanage it last night

Hope everyone is OK x

Gems7 · 07/09/2020 18:57

@Missgoldilocks hopefully we all get what we want, and sharpish!! 🤞🏻I'll let you know what the gp says tomorrow and here's hoping your sticks start showing that dark line!

Rant alert..

I thought when you were ovulating you were supposed to feel at your sexual best?? All sexy and attractive..
So why do I feel like an absolute dumpling!!
Bloated, fat and cranky! 😂
I'm sure that's not what's supposed to happen, GOD DAMN YOU TTC!! 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Xxx

Missgoldilocks · 07/09/2020 15:28

@Gems7 Aww that is just awful to think about but of course you don't want to stop trying!! I'm so hoping you get a sticky bean soon girl honestly I really do xxxx fingers crossed you get some good news but also that the gp can give you some help along the way!

Yeah it's just really confusing and I'm kicking myself because this has never happened before you know how regular I am lol but anyway, it could be late yes I have been testing so many times a day! Haha but I will stick to 2 now one morning and one evening and see if anything happens. I might have ovulated early on this stuff you never know but we dtd cd10 so hoping there's a slight chance if that's the case. Just gotta wait and see I guess xx

Gems7 · 07/09/2020 13:22

@Annny27 😘 Thankyou hun, I gave a good feeling about you this month, really hope the next 2 weeks fly by for you xx

@Missgoldilocks I'm okay thanks, got my positive opk last night so OV day today for me, DTD last night and will try again later today. I'm not excited though because I just feel like even if I got pregnant the same thing would happen again, I'm almost scared to get a BFP really but don't want to stop trying either. 😭 I'll see what my gp has to say tomorrow, I won't be testing early anymore.
I'm sorry your cycle is messed up this month, it's hard to know what to take and what not to take isn't it. I think you will just be ovulating slightly later this cycle. Do you test twice a day? Xx

Missgoldilocks · 07/09/2020 11:12

@anny27 yes it makes some people ovulate later 😩😭 wish I never touched anything now!! Just gotta keep daily testing and see if something happens! It's weird I had like a slight line around cd10 you know faded... Since cd13 tho they've been completely blank. Fml! Good luck babes I hope you get pregnant this cycle xx

@Gems7 how are you hun? Xx

@PrettyTulip hey how you doing xx

Annny27 · 07/09/2020 09:15

Morning :D 5dpo now - going fast this time as I am keeping busy!

@Missgoldilocks thats so frustrating! So no signs of ovulation yet? Have you seen anything online where people have seen late ovulation by using it?

@PrettyTulip you arw calmer than me haha. I would be chasing constantly for my prescription of clomid 😂😂

@gems7 thinking of you as always :)

Missgoldilocks · 06/09/2020 22:14

@anny27 isoflavones works like clomid. However I won't be using it again since I haven't ovulated :( I always ovulate cd15 and all my opks are blank and I've got no ewcm. We dtd Friday and twice yesterday we will do it tonight in case I get the peak a day later but I'm totally bummed about it. How do you feel?

How's everyone else?

PrettyTulip · 06/09/2020 07:55

@Gems7 oh that's good then! Hoping you have timed it well!!

Dunno what day I'm on but I'm now on day 15 of using that powder. Haven't noticed a difference in myself but deffo had lots of CM over the last couple of days so fingers crossed it is doing something 😉
I'm still awaiting to hear from my drs regarding ovulation help but with all the Covid situations at the moment I don't wanna hassle them lol. I'll just wait patiently and hope this powder helps me out lol xx

Annny27 · 05/09/2020 17:24

Evening girls :) I am 3dpo so starting my progesterone tonight! Seemed to keep the spotting away last month so all good :D

@gems7 back on the ttc sex slog 🙈 I wondered whether ovulstion would be delayed with your miscarriage but doesn't seem to be that delayed which is promissing!

@prettytulip nothing to lose by trying that powder :D

@Missgoldilocks covid has been so rubbish for so many businesses 😭 whats the difference between the two supplements?

Gems7 · 05/09/2020 16:55

@PrettyTulip ahhh thanks angel, I am okay thank-you, just plodding along! Drained with it all just like all you girls.
Haven't had my positive opk yet, I think I will get it later tonight as it's been getting darker on my cheapies but still a flashing smiley on the clearblue ones. We have managed to DTD yes, we did it last night and this morning so I'm back in the game! 😂😭🥱
I have a telephone apt with my GP on Tues so really really hoping she will refer me so I can get some progesterone and other tests done etc.
I hope you are doing okay lovey, and having a fab weekend 😘
Where are all you girls in your cycle? Xx

PrettyTulip · 05/09/2020 16:18

Hope you're okay @Gems7 , been thinking about you. Have you managed to DTD yet? X

msunflower · 03/09/2020 22:00

@Gems7 I'm so sorry, sending hugs and support your way 😔✨

Missgoldilocks · 03/09/2020 14:35

Hi everyone, still here just trying to keep my mind off it. That'll be hard once I ovulate but yeah feeling down about the time it's taking a bit like everyone else! Lots of stressful things going on anyway covid has royally messed up a lot of work bits!
I took isoflavones this cycle I got mixed up instead of inositol but hey let's see what happens I was getting strong ovulation pains. I'm due to ovulate on Sunday so I'm thinking dtd Friday twice Saturday twice Sunday and hope for the best! How is everyone getting on?

@Gems7 so sorry 🙏 I can't imagine how down you feel honestly just take it one day at a time x

@PrettyTulip that's so shit sorry chick xxx

@anny27 wow that sounds great!! You have well and truly covered all bases!! Xx

Annny27 · 03/09/2020 08:05

Morning girls :) cd17 and I have ovulated and either 1dpo or 2dpo :) dtd everydsy for 7 days haha so looking forward to the break 😂

@PrettyTulip omg thats so tough lovely! Does your friend know you have also been trying?
Yeah i am thinking people who would have started ttc in June 2019 would have had their babies on March if they conceived first try and will maybe be thinking about another! Its tough

@gems7 after going through a second miscarriage its totally understandable for you to be upset and a bit all over the place. Really really tough 💗

@laur89 I have heard a lot of people rave about the myo inositol:D

@Missgoldilocks how are you lovely?

Gems7 · 02/09/2020 20:40

@PrettyTulip I'm sorry lovely ☹️ that's really shit!! Sending you huge virtual hugs 😘
Your dreams will come true too, it's just taking a little longer and you have a few hurdles to jump over but you are definitely going to get there, we all are xxx

PrettyTulip · 02/09/2020 19:53

Hi girls...
I'm feeling abit down today, my friend who i started TTC back in Jan 2019 has just announced she's pregnant again (her 1st is now 10 months) 😞

Gems7 · 02/09/2020 15:03

Hey girls,

Sorry I've been a bit quiet, looks like we all have though. I'm a bit down about it all really, my GP telephone apt isnt until the 8th.
I'm on CD11, haven't DTD once so far and won't be doing it today either I wouldn't imagine 😏 don't ovulate until around CD 14/15 anyway so there's still time to catch this month but I just feel like it's hopeless and my body wouldn't nurture it anyway.

Hope you are all feeling more positive and cheerful than I am haha

@Annny27 here's hoping all that DTD works for you like it did for me 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Laur89 · 02/09/2020 14:21

Hey girls how are you all? @Gems7 I'm so sorry to hear your news, sending you a big hug 🤗 how are things now?
That powder is called myo inositol, it helps with ovulation, I took it with my first and also this time around. I can send more info if anyone wants :)
@Annny27 @Missgoldilocks @PrettyTulip how are you all girls?
