Welcome @IamHopeful2020 are you TTC #1? X

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 12:29

@Annny27 Thanks for the warm welcome, I've been following your posts; so sorry about your miscarriage.
Hopefully, we'll get our BFPs in this 5th cycle........ Baby dust to all of us.

Morning @Annny27

Congrats on the positive OPK!! Good luck!!

I have had some symptoms actually, my nipples look odd (a bit veiny & possibly darker) & are quite sore/sensitive,feel a bit sick every so often, incredibly tired & am a bit bloated. More than likely just clomid side effects but hopefully not. I'm 6dpo today so probably too early anyway

Annny27 · 09/05/2020 11:39

Morning all :) got my peak opk this morning so will make sure to dtd tonight as well!

@orangeloo yes fw is a lot of pressure! This time it hasn't been so bad because of the bank holiday weekend and the fact we are both wfh so aren't too tired haha!

@Etonmess20 any symptoms for you or are you staying fairly relaxed?

@whatsthecraic91 6 weeks that's so exciting :D :D only 2 more weeks until scan then!! Damn I miss my pregnancy boobs🤣🤣 hope they come back soon for me haha 🙈

@iamhopeful202 welcome:) hopefully cycle number 5 is lucky! This is my 5th cycle after my miscarriage in November but my 11th month overall from when we first started trying

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 10:39

Hello angels! I've been lurking around for sometime. I hope I'm welcome Wink

I feel a bit calm to have people going through the same thing and there's a forum to share our experiences & pour out our minds. I really hope and pray our journey here will be shortened and move past this level soonest, as we we go through this stage together!

I'm 30 years, chemical pregnancy in February, cycle #5.

whatsthecraic91 · 09/05/2020 10:08

@Mamainmaking congratulations!!

@Annny27 hey! I'm doing great thank you! I am 6 weeks today 😁 I feel completely normal no sickness or anything yet thankfully! Only thing is my boobs have doubled in size and they are so heavy 😂 I have a private scan booked for 24th, I'll be 8+1 and I can't bloody wait! How are you doing? Fertile week I see 😇 x

@Kiza how are you? How many DPO now after Beltane? Fingers crossed it's done the trick 🤞🏼

I really miss you girls, I am still reading all what's happening 😚x

Etonmess20 · 08/05/2020 19:33

@Mamainmaking glad to hear you're doing ok x

Mamainmaking · 08/05/2020 19:27

@lizzie198 yes the pain is easing nowSmile

Mamainmaking · 08/05/2020 19:24

@Etonmess20 thank you for the advice and your lovely support
@Anny27 I don't have any bleeding, the side pain come and goes but your words gave me sigh of relief
@orangeloo thank you dear
😀

orangeloo · 08/05/2020 18:56

@Annny27 no, not just yet only cycle day 6. I actually hate the fertile week haha. So much pressure.
That's good dtd for you, it's so nice when you know you've given that fertile week a really got shot! FX for you.

Annny27 · 08/05/2020 18:51

@orangeloo are you in fertile week now?

I had a very high opk today (nearly peak) so imagine it will peak tomorrow on cd12 and then ovulate on cd13. Managed to did yesterday and today which is good :)

@whatsthecraic91 how are you lovely?

orangeloo · 08/05/2020 10:51

Thanks @Annny27 me too :) x

Any symptoms I now have I think ooh maybe. Then I very quickly remember it means absolutely nothing haha.

@Mamainmaking congratulations! Hope the pain eases. Don't do hot water bottle. X

Annny27 · 08/05/2020 09:42

Congratulations @Mamainmaking :D with your one sided pain, if you get any shoulder pain or any bleeding then call the EPU xxx

lizzie198 · 08/05/2020 08:48

@Mamainmaking congratulations and hope the pain eases for you and is nothing serious xx

Etonmess20 · 08/05/2020 08:39

@Mamainmaking to be honest I don't really know why to suggest, perhaps get a hot water bottle to try & ease it & just see how you go but obviously if you're worried then go to a&e

Mamainmaking · 08/05/2020 08:33

Hey @Etonmess20 thank you very much! But right now i have constant mild pain in right side around ovary..hope this is no ectopic pregnancy..I am really worried

Etonmess20 · 08/05/2020 06:19

Mamainmaking · 08/05/2020 04:55

Etonmess20 · 07/05/2020 19:02

@Mamainmaking always got to be positive! Fingers crossed for the next couple of days for you x

Mamainmaking · 07/05/2020 18:52

@Etonmess20 the health system is super nice but to get that 1st appointment of any doctor there is always a waiting period of 1 or 2 months, until n unless you are dieing 😋
And be positive everything will fall in place..let's be hopeful 🤗

Etonmess20 · 07/05/2020 17:34

@Kiza hopefully the lady sends the letter through soon because some clarity would be nice! I'm new to all this stuff & she was talking quite quick on the phone so good knows what I've signed myself up for 😂😂

Kiza · 07/05/2020 17:31

@Etonmess20 ahhh, could be the lap and dye your having rather than the HSG but I'm sure your letter will confirm. They are similar but also different 😄

Etonmess20 · 07/05/2020 17:25

@Kiza I'm waiting for her to send my appointment letter through but she has booked me in on what should be approx CD17 of my next cycle. I imagine it's for that reason she's given that advice, she's also told me not to waste the clomid as I won't be able to DTD.
It didn't sound as if there was the luxury of phoning on day 1 unfortunately.
I'm only 27 so I'm not hugely worried about missing 1 cycle, a bit of a break might be quite nice after 18 months TTC.

Kiza · 07/05/2020 17:12

@Etonmess20 are you talking about the HSG test? If it is that and not the lap and dye test then with the HSG you phone them on the 1st day if your AF and they book you in within the next 10 days. You are then not allowed to have sex from 1st if AF until you have the test. However can have sex afterwards as the HSG is some after you finish bleeding but before you ovulate. The reason you cannot have sex from day 1 of AF until the test is they cannot risk you being pregnant. So you can still TTC that cycle and no cycles are lost.
Phone your consultant and clarify the exact name of the test you're having.

Etonmess20 · 07/05/2020 16:20

@Mamainmaking I hadn't realised you were based in Germany, is the health system much different there?
The only annoying thing is that if this 1st clomid cycle doesn't work we will have to stop TTC for a month as I'd been told you're not to have unprotected sex beforehand ☹️
