@Etonmess20 wow you got an appointment! To get an appointment here in Germany is a work of patience Grin

Etonmess20 · 07/05/2020 14:13

@Mamainmaking oooh let us know how you get on!

Had a call from my local hospital today & they have arranged for me to have the scan with dye to check my tubes are clear (unless I get my BFP before of course) so that's been a positive! When I was given my 4 months on clomid (in the first cycle of using it currently) I was told the scan wouldn't be until afterwards so I'm pleased that'll be another issue possibly ruled out

Mamainmaking · 07/05/2020 12:39

Yes @Etonmess20 I am praying for you as well,I am planning to test tomorrow or day after tomorrow Smile
@mrsmumsy00 try to wait till 14dpoSmile I know its really difficult and we all are more or less in a same boatSmile lets keep the boat floating

mrsmumsy00 · 07/05/2020 11:05

Been feeling unusual yesterday and today! RHR is currently up a little and feeling some twinges and slight sickness to! telling myself not to test until 10DPO but i'm deffo a poas addict!!

praying for all the may BFPs💞

Etonmess20 · 07/05/2020 10:30

@Annny27 lol it's horrendous isn't it! 😂 I can't cope with the symptom spotting anymore!

Annny27 · 07/05/2020 10:21

Morning everyone:) cd10 here and little bit of ewcm yesterday, low opks so ovulation probably in a few days!

@Lozzlepop yep the weather is lovely here now. Hope it lasts for the Bank Holiday!

@kiza not sure how much my DH produces but it always leaks out of me regardless 🙈 I used to get really worried about leakage but we managed to conceive the first time so obviously some of it gets to where it needs to go 🙈

@CoalCraft congratulations lovely that's amazing that you caught your window :D enjoy your pregnancy xxx

@orangeloo I really hope these suppositories work - either for a bfp or for less spotting :D that's fantastic!

@Etonmess20 I am actually giving up on symptom spotting this month because each month I am absolutely convinced I am pregnant when I am not 🤣

Etonmess20 · 07/05/2020 07:45

@Mamainmaking I'm the same, everything feels like a symptom! Fingers crossed for you!!!

Mamainmaking · 06/05/2020 22:42

I have constant pain in right pelvis and also back pain? Is it a symptom..nevermind we will know in next 3 daysWink

Lozzlepop · 06/05/2020 15:26

Hi ladies,

How are we all? Sorry i have missed quite a lot, I don't seem to get notifications anymore 🙈It is actually so hot here today, I have had to come back inside as I was dying outside!!

Welcome to all of the new ladies, you have picked a good place to be 😃the ladies here are such a supportive bunch and between us all we have experienced most of the hurdles TTC throws at you!

@CoalCraft congratulations fantastic news!!

@XjustagirlX thats good to hear that your body is doing what its meant to be doing right now, shocking that the doctor gave you the wrong results though.

Has anyone thats waiting for testing been contacted to say when things will resume?

SaraVB · 06/05/2020 14:05

@lizzie198 oh I'm sorry to hear that...

you never know... seems completely unpredictable to me! Despite the negative test I'm still in complete denial until AF shows up. Hoping that i if I can manage expectations I won't be too disappointed when it does...

lizzie198 · 06/05/2020 12:51

That should have been too soon not soon enough lol

lizzie198 · 06/05/2020 12:50

@SaraVB nope it's definitely not soon enough really unless possibly implantation but i doubt it and probably just wishful thinking.

This is our first cycle back. We were trying back end 2018/beginning 2019 but then we had a series of losses within the family and decided to have a break.

SaraVB · 06/05/2020 12:41

@lizzie198 I think it can't be helped. I was determined not to get carried away but now i'm constantly wondering about every little thing. The countdown to the AF due date is also making me slightly crazy!

how long have you been TTC? Is it possible to see symptoms from so early on? Really hoping you're successful this month!

lizzie198 · 06/05/2020 12:25

@SaraVB I've just joined everyone is really
Lovely.

In a similar situation 32 and TTC first.

I'm stupidly symptom spotting today and only 3dpo. Had an upset stomach this morning, very hungry though and had a little
Bit of discharge with what looked like dark blood in it.

Know it will be nothing but this is what the TWW does I had forgotten Confused

SaraVB · 06/05/2020 10:31

Hi can I join too? seems like such a supportive group of ladies here. I'm 33 TTC first baby and this is only my 1st month trying. Expecting AF any day now.. should be by Friday at the latest.
I couldn't bear the curiosity anymore a couple of days ago and did a pregnancy test but it was definitely negative and since then I've been feeling some normal monthly symptoms.

I know it's only the first month so I shouldn't get discouraged but I am slightly worried that my age may make things more difficult (my best friend TTC her third child earlier this year and was told that it was not possible for her to have any more children).

Etonmess20 · 06/05/2020 10:21

@Mamainmaking it's so difficult though because you can't put your life on hold. I do HIIT workouts for 20 mins most days but if you don't exercise then surely that's just as unhealthy!
I do try not to drink too much (but that's weight wise as well as TTC)

CoalCraft · 06/05/2020 09:59

Thanks for the congratulations everyone! Hadn't registered with a new gp after moving to a new area (oops!) so doing that as quick as I can so I can make an appointment with a midwife.

I don't really have any symptoms at all so far except slightly sore nipples and no spotting (which I would usually get constantly) - no cramps or nausea or anything and really I don't think I would notice the nipples if I wasn't looking out for them, so no / minor symptoms doesn't necessarily mean no bfp

@whatsthecraic91 High five! A huge congrats to you

@XjustagirlX I'm so sorry about your ectopic but really glad it is resolving by itself, hope you can get back to ttc quickly and soon have a lovely healthy pregnancy xx

Mamainmaking · 06/05/2020 09:55

@Etonmess20 I agree with your approach, right now I am focusing on work and my health, I go running for 3km every other day and now my mom is like why are you running while ttcConfused

XjustagirlX · 06/05/2020 09:49

Hi everyone. Sorry I’ve been away for a bit. Things have been so hectic. Found out it was ectopic but also found out i needed to be furloughed.

Basically my hcg levels stayed the same over a couple of weeks (or do I was told) so I decided to wait and see if it would resolve on its own. Luckily it is doing. It has now reduced to around 10 so hopefully will have disappeared in the next few days. I’m glad I decided against the injection and surgery as my body has sorted it itself.

But shockingly when I made the decision to wait and see it was based on my results staying the same. But they had actually increased but the doctors read out the wrong results!!

Luckily it has irked out ok for me but it could have been really bad if it was still increasing and I chose to wait and see.

Etonmess20 · 06/05/2020 09:22

@Mamainmaking I bet you did drive yourself crazy, it's so difficult to hold off isn't it? I am quite good now at not testing actually, think because I've never had a BFP I can't take the disappointment so I wouldn't test until AF is late. Got my hopes up too many times ☹️

whatsthecraic91 · 06/05/2020 09:19

@CoalCraft congratulations!! We will be due date buddies as my last AF was 28th March too 😊xx

MochaTea · 06/05/2020 09:11

@Kiza thanks so much. I have actually been trying for almost 2 years but just OPKS really, tried temping but that didn't work for me due to waking up at different times but didn't go as far as researching CP etc but will have a look.
I am at the end process of a miscarriage, waiting for the 3 week period to see if I have a negative test to start again.

Not sure who said about going the adoption route, but 12 months is too short to give up on trying, you never know. And 35 is still young, especially for a man!
We tried adopting a couple of years back but didn't have a good experience with our county. The person who got to be in charge of our case did not like us at all and found all the tiny things to complain about. I started a voluntary position which was agreed with them before I commenced and after 6 months they said that wasn't what they wanted. I was really pissed off with the treatment they gave us but I haven't given up on adoption but will try a different place or country. But as I am now 36 I will try for a baby first and in a couple of years go the adoption route again .

Kiza · 06/05/2020 08:25

@CoalCraft congrats! Could ring your local epu or GP and they will book you in for a 12 week scan and until then just relax and enjoy 😊

@Annny27 @Spinningthewheel
hahaha most often it does, even after I've been laying there for 20 minutes! In a nutshell he has tons of super fast abnormal sperm!

@Mamainmaking me too, only have sore right boob which is usual for me anyway during the TWW.

Mamainmaking · 06/05/2020 07:06

@CoalCraft such a great news..many many congratulations Smile

Mamainmaking · 06/05/2020 07:04

@Etonmess20 yes I am holding off till aunt flo is late, I remember last cycle I started testing from 8dpo till 14dpo, gosh I went crazy over the results..so no more testing games for mGrin
@Kiza trying to be sane but staying away from symptom spotting is difficult although I don't have any symptoms except for sore boobs Hmm
