TTC First Baby Thread 23

@Lottiepink temp is up again a wee bit but still below the line! It confirmed ovulation as 5th Feb and I am 5DPO, all very strange if you ask me 🤔
When is your appointment?

@whatsthecraic91 how have your temps been? You think the dip was ovulation?

@Kiza oh no... can't believe you got the wrong day 🙈😂 well you defo must have been eager lol. They could have just tried to squeeze you in, never mind next Sunday will soon be here!

I've enquires about what to expect at the fertility appointment, as I wanted to know if we would get physical checks so we are prepared ha! They said it's very likely that DH will be checked and that I'll probably get an ultrasound and or TV scan... thought they would have informed me of that without ringing. They were so helpful though which is good. I've not had day 3 bloods done either, so going to make sure I get them done before we go!

Hope everyone's Monday's going ok so far 😊

Sorry to hear about the hospital blunder @Kiza I'm going to have a husteroscopy to remove the poly. It's a very quick day surgery but I will have general anaesthetic which I've never had before!

@Kiza, would have thought they'd remember to go back and check your name but then I do have a horrendous short term memory.
I hope you aren't waiting too long on the results after the tests next week.

@whatsthecraic91 @1990shopefulftm hahaha it was totally my fault! I think I was too excited for the test! 😆
It was one of those self check in machines and it wouldn't accept my check in so I mentioned it to one of the members of staff when they came to collect another patient and they just asked my name and said ok. Luckily the hospital is only a 10 minute drive from us!

Oh well at least it's not a long wait, although have my HSG on Thursday at the same department so will double check I can still have the TV scan on the Sunday in case there's still any dye left inside me.

@Kiza oh you tit 🤣🤣 Nothing worse than dying for the toilet 😂🙈 did you not have to check into reception when you first arrived? 😂 that’s annoying that you have to wait another week though 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Kiza, that's awful that you waited and they didn't try to point it out to you sooner.

Oh ladies I'm such a moron! Got to the hospital with a full bladder (as instructed on the letter) sat waiting for ages and after a while asked when would be my turn as my appointment time had come and gone.
The lady took my appointment letter and gently pointed out that it's the 16th Feb : next Sunday not today! 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

@Kiza it was Friday night we were out I was a bit delicate yesterday 🙈 let us know how today goes!

@Lottiepink that’s what I’m thinking now after taking yesterday mornings off and @ValidUser’s wisdom, we will see the next couple of days! I’m CD16 today

@whatsthecraic91 what cycle day are you? I would say that dip is an ovulation dip?

@Kiza ohh that's great they do them on a weekend. Hope it goes ok for you. Hopefully they will give you a bit of info 😊

@Kiza yes now the wait begins, I m studying with the open university so throwing myself into that and got a couple of possibly long weeks at work coming up so should keep myself busy.

@Lozzlepop hope you had a good night out last night?

@Anny27 hope you're having a lovely weekend away and enjoying a week deserved break
@MIW01 sorry think I may have missed on the thread what surgery you need?

@1990shopefulftm now into the wonderful 2WW for you? Do you have much planned to keep your mind occupied?

@Dippytique sorry to hear AF arrived for you, that's so unusual to have such a long cycle. I wonder if unconsciously you were stressed about something and your body responded to it?
Good luck with the temping and opks. I struggled with the temping either due to forgetting or getting up around 4am to pee but I know there's a few ladies on here who have been able to use it successfully and they're a great source of knowledge around it

@whatsthecraic91 how's the hangover today? 😆

I'm off to the hospital later today for my TV scan, great that they do weekend appointments! I'm going to try and see if I can get them to give me some info whilst they're doing it rather than wait until our consultant appointment.

@ValidUser maybe I’m new to temping so I’m not really sure 😂 I’ll make sure to DTD today to make sure all bases are covered!

@ValidUser I have marked yesterday as abnormal so it hasn’t confirmed I have ovulated now, I’m thinking it might have been yesterday instead now, will see over the next couple of days, I should have known it was too early for me! Thanks for your input 😊

@ValidUser see I’m thinking should I mark yesterday’s as abnormal as I had a lot of alcohol the night before? That would maybe change it to show I’ve not ovulated yet and today is my dip? Not sure 🤔

Morning ladies!

@Anny27 wondering if you could look at my chart? It’s really weird that I’m below the cover line this morning! Any thoughts 🤔

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I think I'm finding it particularly hard due to a recent sharp decline in my physical and mental health on top of all the pregnancy announcements! Hope everyone is managing to enjoy their weekend!

@Lottiepink I ve barely ever felt that I ve ovulated so its given me a little peace of mind.

@Lozzlepop hope you are feeling refreshed for your afternoon out 😊 have a great day. I'm also out tonight with DH and friends, really looking forward to it!

@1990shopefulftm pleased you got a positive, I didn't really use them the last few cycles but loved getting the positive this cycle! I temp and can usually feel ovulation anyways, but it's nice to have a bit more of an idea!

@Dippytique wow that is a long one, yeh totally get you tho, fresh start again now 😊 temping is definitely the best way, I got my rise today, ov'd yest, so good for it to know it's confirmed 🙂

@whatsthecraic91 sounds like you had a good night then ha! Enjoy your chill day! Can't believe they still didn't ring, so annoying. Hope you hear back on Monday. Although it's maybe a good sign that they haven't rushed to call yous back? Will keep my fingers crossed for yous

Hey all, suffering today! Me and DP were out on the town last night 😓 we had brilliant fun 😂 just on the sofa now with a blanket and crisps watching the Ireland match 😁 I’ve been a wee party animal 2 weekends in a row! Very unlike me 😂

Femometer confirmed this morning I ovulated CD12!! So I am 3DPO! We only DTD twice 2 days before and the day of ovulation so hopefully we caught it! So early for me! It will make the TWW a wee bit shorter for me 😊

@Anny27 hope you have a lovely weekend away!

@Kiza I get EWCM and a bit of pain one sided for an hour or two! I temp now so it confirms it for me, cba with OPKs!

@Lottiepink @Lozzlepop he still hasn’t heard back! He phoned again on Friday too! Don’t know what’s going on 🙄 he’s gonna call again Monday!

@lozzlepop oh lovely spring is the best 😊

Happy Saturday all 😌

@Anny27 thanks, exactly we can start again now. Hope you have a lovely weekend away!

@Kiza AF is here now. It’s been such a weird time with strong symptoms- I honestly think my body was trying to trick me. I’m glad it’s here though, it’s like the reset button!

@Lottiepink Yep exactly. It was a 49 day cycle in the end. Ridiculous. So it’s good to be back to day 1 after all the frustration.

On lots of your advice, I’ve got OPKs and a thermometer so I’m going to start temping. I’ve downloaded the Femometer app too to track properly. I was using my fitbit app before but I can already see that this one is much better, so thanks for those recommendations and tips. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
