how are we getting on girls? Cd13 today still negative opk so probably in a day or two I imagine!

Dtd everyday this month 👀🙈

Annny27 · 25/08/2020 09:07

@gems7 totally and also men don't get the build up to disappointment that we do r.g. noticing our boobs arent sore or seeing spotting. They just get the "we arent pregnant my period came". Hard for them!

And yes if i ever have someone tell me they got pregnsnt on the pill when they drank loads and it was either guy A or guy B who is the dad, I might explode haha

@Missgoldilocks ahh thats not nice for your mum to be saying that :( hopefully she gauged by your reaction not to talk babies or pregnancy

@PrettyTulip it literally seems crazy to me that people can get pregnant from one time 🤣🤣🤣

Missgoldilocks · 24/08/2020 20:30

Yep @Gems7 @PrettyTulip it's a joke. My mum came over yesterday and before even saying hello to me told me my cousins pregnant.. I was like Ok well I got my period just today rather not hear lol and she ignored me and went on saying how they wasn't even trying and gave me a look as if its my fault I'm not getting pregnant because I'm trying so hard. Fuuuuuuck out of here like who even does that knowing it would be a sore subject. Honestly the cheek of it.

I spoke to the doctor and he's telling me. About 500 pound scans and trigger shots I'm not. Doing that. I'm getting my blood levels checked tomorrow for LH and FSH and testosterone since that's the only test they haven't don't yet and I bought isoflavones to start in a day or 2!

@PrettyTulip glad you're looking into some things to see if it helps xx

PrettyTulip · 24/08/2020 18:52

@Gems7 that annoys me so much too! Especially now when I've been trying so long and people just get up the duff with a click of a finger 😠

The powder is something alongside folic acid .. I think @Laur89 recommended it? It's got fab reviews on Amazon so thought I'd give it a whirl.. it's meant to be good for people with PCOS so fingers crossed it will be helping me in some way!

@Anny27 I haven't got an appt with fertility atm. Awaiting the drs to sort out my ovulation help but I'm guessing they've got to get funding approval first 🤔 xx

Gems7 · 24/08/2020 11:24

@Annny27 It must be really hard for them, they are so powerless when it comes to ttc and seeing how upset we get can't be nice for them can it. He just gives me lots of cuddles and I know how upset he is inside. He really wants a baby.
Hopefully it will still happen for us. 🙏🏻
I really don't think you need to do anything different, as long as you are having sex around ovulation surely that's all you need, it amazes me how people get pregnant from one night stands, fucking ONCE!! ONE TIME!! 🤯 xx

Annny27 · 24/08/2020 10:27

@gems7 congratulations auntie 💗💗 my nephew was born just after my miscarriage and it was bittersweet but I love him so much 💗

Not gonna do anything different. W ehave bought the syringes just incase we cba and I might try and really dtd lots around ovulation when I get a positive opk. But other than that just every other day untill then!

Yep my DH doesn't outwardly cry like I do obviously but I know he would love to be a dad!!

Gems7 · 24/08/2020 10:16

@PrettyTulip Thanks huni 😘 my emotions have been on a rollercoaster these last few months that's for sure.
Remind me what that powder does again? Did you order it from amazon?

@Annny27 AF is horrible 😒 so so heavy, way more than usual and painful too, I don't usually have much pain but this one is hurting me.
My GP is on holiday for 2 weeks at the moment but I have made a telephone apt (thanks Covid) for 8th sept, will have a chat with her then and see what she says.

My OH takes it all in his stride, he's always cool and composed about everything in life but I know inside he will be hurting. I just can't shake off the guilt I feel every time I look at him.
I officially became an auntie today though, I have a nephew and he is beautiful so at least I get to have some baby cuddles xx

Do you plan to do anything different this month? You're still using the progesterone aren't you? I think I may need some of those! Xx

Annny27 · 24/08/2020 09:58

Morning ladies, cd7 for me now so probably start dtd soon......

@gems7 how is AF - is it heavier and more crampy than usual? :( how is your OH taling the news? I've been thinking about you all weekend and just how painful it must be 💗

@Missgoldilocks clomid will give you a good chance of producing more eggs in the hope that atleast one will be fertilised 🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞

@PrettyTulip yayy hope this works! Whens your next fertility appointment?

PrettyTulip · 24/08/2020 08:33

@Gems7 OMG I've just caught up! I'm totally devastated for you .. getting them strong positives to then have it taken away from you has got to be worse than constantly seeing the one line instead of two. 💔

@Missgoldilocks sorry AF has arrived again for you, 🌷

Don't blame yourselves ladies, these things are unexplainable and IT WILL happen one day for us all 🤗
I started taking that powder stuff that was recommended earlier on in the thread on Saturday so fingers crossed it helps me somehow, although I think I'm beyond help 😂 xx

Missgoldilocks · 23/08/2020 10:51

@anny27 it really is and I just don't understand it its so frustrating to know nothing is wrong but it's just not happening every single month the hope just to get pulled from under you. I've contacted the private doctor and I've asked for clomid, I'm going to take that for a few cycles and hope for the best x

@Gems7 cycle buddies xx I think I'm going to eat whatever I like 😩

Gems7 · 23/08/2020 10:42

Thankyou for your support girls it honestly means a lot ❤️ I'm going to cal my GP tomorrow.

@Missgoldilocks I'm sorry about AF , we're both in the same boat, she's here for me too. Just putting some cucumber on my puffy eyes then I'm getting dressed and dragging my miserable arse out of the house for some lunch. And I may just going dive head first into the biggest glass of Prosecco whilst I'm at it.

Big hugs girls xx

Annny27 · 23/08/2020 10:38

Babe 😭 @Missgoldilocks its tragiclkterally every month heartbreak!!!!

Missgoldilocks · 23/08/2020 10:34

Afs here for me so onto the next cycle

Missgoldilocks · 23/08/2020 09:27

@Gems7 😩 I can't even imagine what you're going through right now. We are here if you need to vent at any point just write what you need to! Crying is good you need to get it out 🤗 just be so gentle with yourself please, you aren't broken and you WILL get pregnant and stay pregnant, you will! I agree to try gp to see if they can help you but for now just do what you need to do to feel better and look after yourself ❤️❤️🌹🌹

Missgoldilocks · 23/08/2020 09:23

@Canni19 I'm not being funny but make your own thread for that question. If you had cared to look at the thread you would see how quite insensitive you are being. Thanks

Canni19 · 23/08/2020 09:11

This is our first month trying to conceive. My period was supposed to start today (23rd August) but on Wednesday 19th I had some dark brown spotting when I wiped. Early hours of Thursday I had what I think may have been my period, wasn’t very heavy but wasn’t light either, looked like it was mixed and a bit watery too. Friday I stopped bleeding around 11, changed my pad then and nothing else. Could I have just had a really short period or could this have been A heavier implantation bleeding? Think I’m clutching at straws and hoping for something that’s not there.

Annny27 · 23/08/2020 09:03

Its totally normal to feel absolutely shit. Your body is not failing you atall, its not your fault 💗 its so hard after experiencing the joy of a bfp and then the pain of having it taken away! My heart goes out to you 💗 sending you all the love

After the miscarriage its probably worth seeing your GP to record this as they may be able to do some recurrent miscarriage tests just to get things properly checked xx

Gems7 · 23/08/2020 08:20

Thanks girls, not gonna lie I'm not doing great right now. FRER was negative this morning, so just waiting for AF from hell to arrive 4 days late. My face is actually hurting I've cried that much, I'm just devestated. My sister is in labour right now too so my emotions are all over the place. I feel so guilty and awful for my OH, he has no children and my stupid broken body keeps losing them 😔 I don't know what to do, my mental health is taking a bashing these last few months that's for sure.
Sorry to be so miserable, I know you girls are having it tough too, it's just shit all round isn't it!! Xxx

Annny27 · 23/08/2020 07:38

@Gems7 you were the first person I thought of this morning, how are you doing lovely? Xxx

So soo cruel its just heartbreaking :(

Missgoldilocks · 22/08/2020 20:26

Annny27 · 22/08/2020 17:48

Annny27 · 22/08/2020 17:47

Anyone starting the TWW #2
Gems7 · 22/08/2020 16:27

I'm having a chemical pregnancy, my frer was fainter this morning than the beginning of the week and I have started spotting. I am absolutley devestated, I just can't catch a fucking break 😞 xx

Missgoldilocks · 21/08/2020 21:37

@Gems7 Italian food is defo the best! And we are going to Bologna I probably told you I went last year too and it's where my dad's from but it is theeeee place to eat in Italy for pasta and bolognase (obviously) super amazing I know he's gonna love it since he hasn't been! I want to get a train down to Florence too why not.
Glad you're okay, I know easier said than done but try not to be anxious xx
