TTC first baby thread 24

Hi again!

I started AF this morning.. boo!! But at least I can start trying again for next month!

I would LOVE to know which types of ovulating tracking you all use? What apps or wee sticks do you all have?

How many week after ovulation do you start your period? I've heard it's 12dpo and 14dpo but I have no clue x

@Lottiepink I have never been offered these tests but I wonder if because they know we can get pregnant they are assuming no issues that side? Be interesting to know my levels though!

@FarmerWantsABaby I am the same, I dont like to let my emotions out but when they do come boy do they flood out! I hope you are ok and that tomorrow gives you some answers.

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear AF arrived, mine was a witch this month so feel your pain! Glad to hear you got on well today with the Dr, sorry to hear it may be endometriosis but good that everything is moving forward in terms of testing.

Hi and welcome @Cha0907 @firsttimetry @Hankychief

@Anny27 thats good willpower you have- I would always try and hold off but would struggle about 11DPO I have everything crossed for you.

Just under a week till my US pelvic scan- feels like I have been waiting a lifetime. DF has to give his SA tomorrow so hopefully we hear the results from that quickly although I dont forsee any issues! A girl that I used to work with announced her pregnancy yesterday, I dont usually have any issues and am happy for people but this one really got to me as she is a heavy smoker and drinker and I know she recreationally uses drugs and it just made me think how unfair everything is 😔sorry for the moan just a tired grump today. Theres been a lot of break ins our way and I had a really unsettled night with DF being away with work.

@Anny27 another nose bleed! I'm feeling really positive about you this month! Are you going to test early 😬

@Lottiepink I'm okay now as long as I stay drugged 😂

Hey ladies!

Had my appointment this morning, the doctor was such a lovely man. Got my scan done too and my ovaries and womb look normal but he reckons I have endometriosis as I have really bad pain and problems with my bowels when AF is here. He also seen on the scan that part of my womb is attached to my bowel so that also makes him think endometriosis. If I want I can have a laparoscopy to fix this but at the minute I'm not going to as the pain is manageable and only when AF is here. He said it doesn't look severe enough to stop me conceiving so another reason why I'm not bothered. I've always thought I had a touch of Endo so I'm not surprised by this.

Anyway, I have to go next week to my GP and get a swab tested for infection before I can get the dye test. He said I should be called for that within 4 months on the NHS so I'm just going to wait for it.

Just looking forward to the next step now!

@Cha0907 yes this is my first time trying and also my first cycle x

Hey @Lmac2018 I’m new here too! Is this your first time ttc too?

@Hankychief hello and good luck! X

@whatsthecraic91 hope you’re feeling better soon!

@Lottiepink haven’t been in any contraception for about 6 years now 🙈

@Anny27 sorry to hear about your MMC 😢

Hello. I thought I might join this thread. I have had my copper coil removed today, i'm 34 and i'm on day 2 of my cycle and this is going to be my first time TTC. Exciting and scary all at once! I look forward to my journey and getting lots of advice and support from you guys.

Hi ladies, how is everyone today ? I'm 12dpo today, didn't test yesterday but period is due in a few days x

@whatsthecraic91 awww no so sorry 😕 hopefully the pain killers kick in quick. Hope your app goes well today, let us know 😊

@firsttimetry welcome, yes your not out until af, fingers crossed for you 😊

@Cha0907 ive never had a cp, but unfortunately There's a few on here that have and they will be better to reply about that. But was that October period the one after coming off contraception or were you not in any? How long are your cycles?

AF has arrived this morning with an absolute vengeance 😓 in bed waiting on my painkillers kicking in 👎🏼 on to cycle 15 we go......

Hi!
Please can I join this thread?

TTC baby no1. I came off the pill in July last year. We have been having unprotected sex since but have only been 'trying' for the last 2 months.

I ovulated on the 9th Feb and on the 18th and 19th I had a small amount of spotting. Pinkish at first and then dark brown.

I am now 3 days overdue for my period. I took a test this morning and it was BFN.

Is there any chance I could still be pregnant or have I probably missed it for this month?
Thank you!

@whatsthecraic91 hello! Yes been tracking ovulation using clear blue. This is month 3 off ttc and month 2 tracking ovulation etc.

I wonder if anyone can tell me anymore on chemical pregnancy? I hadn’t heard of this until today. Long story short I think I may have had this back in October. Period was late. Was totally convinced I was pregnant as had many symptoms. Waited over 2 weeks to take a test (negative) then had bleeding a lot heavier than usual period. It was this that really made us start ttc properly! X

@Cha0907 welcome! Are you tracking ovulation? Maybe you ovulated late and that's why AF is late?

@MIW01 hope you get some answers soon 🤞🏼

@Anny27 so far so good but I definitely expect her tomorrow morning, my flo is usually quite light until the second day so it shouldn't be too bad if she does make an appearance! How's the symptom spotting going?

@Lottiepink yea maybe! I'll ask anyway 😊

@FarmerWantsAaby thanks yes I will update you all as soon as I can 😌

In bed after falling asleep on the sofa 😅 AF is defo on route 😂

@Lottiepink I didn't think of it that way actually. That makes sense. My head is fried. I am so busy all day working (I teach), putting on a confident face, then I come home to tutor until 8pm! Once it hits 8 all I do is think think think 💭

Hey

Hope It’s ok for me to join this chat!

This is my first time here! Ttc for a few months now and no joy. Period late this month but negative test this morning. Fed up feeling like I can’t talk to anyone about it so nice to see I’m not alone! X

@Anny27 I know me too, it's the worst, especially needing to wait until the next day, so thankful that it was all ok though 😊 how you feeling?

@MIW01 sorry btw my message seemed short, just re-read it. I totally get how frustrating and upsetting that must be for you, but defo worth a google. Your diet and the way you have stuck to it is fab, hopefully there is a way to help it all. Horrible getting that news though :(

@MIW01 so sorry to hear that I know you have such a strict diet, however, I'm sure I read somewhere that having a Keto diet can cause type 2 diabetes if you don't have it already, I'm not sure for definite though, have you googled it?

@whatsthecraic91 OMG my doctor said that today, but I had googled it somewhere 🙈🙈 my bloods came back fine well LH, FSH and prolactin, but then progesterone was low which is what initiated the call (which it would be on cd3) she thought it was a day 21 blood, I explained on the phone and she said I've not heard of that test before, but I was referred for it by a doctor when I explained I was going to a fertility app - they did say that it's best to have had both done. So unless it's maybe only a test they usually do if day 21 bloods are abnormal I'm not sure. anyways long story short it seems my results were fine, and at least it's another thing tested 🤣🤣

@FarmerWantsABaby I'm not too sure on that, as day 21 bloods is only 7dpo usually, so that's normally even before implantation?

Thanks so much @Lozzlepop I don't think I it has hit me. I automatically put up the defence when it comes to emotions. I'm already preparing for the worst.
@whatsthecraic91 my D21 progesterone levels were low last month when they checked for ovulation. So surely if I was pregnant then they should have been high. If I'm 6 weeks as the dr says then I'd have been pregnant at that stage. I hope everything goes ok for you tomorrow. Please keep us updated xx

Indeed @whatsthecraic91 I am in total shock! I have no idea how this has happened. I have been eating low carb/keto real food for years which is known to reverse type 2. Have no risk factors for type 2. Hence being tested to see what type it is.
