Thanks @Rma13! Gonna try and stay off here for a week as well. Get a break from everything lol! Have a good weekend x

Rma13 · 22/08/2020 14:05

@notyetamumbuttrying that's a shame but always next month! Enjoy your week away!!

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/08/2020 12:09

@Rma13 I didn't get to have my day 3s as my LP went Bk to normal so day 1 was yesterday and I cancelled it. My gp said it should be done day 2-5 so i just cancelled it. It'll have to be next month now as we're going away tomorrow for a week. Hope you're well!

notyetamumbuttrying · 18/08/2020 10:00

Wowza that's a long wait! Can't believe your period still hasn't made an appearance either, hopefully soon now! Thanks, will let you know how the day 3's go next week.@Rma13

Rma13 · 18/08/2020 00:56

@notyetamumbuttrying sorry only just seen this! No news on my op yet 😥 I've been told could take up to two years! So we've decided to just keep trying as soon as AF shows up that is!! I hope all your results come back good!! 🤞 that this month is going to be your month xx

notyetamumbuttrying · 17/08/2020 21:50

@Rma13 so day 21s came bk all normal! Dh has his SA booked on Thursday and I'll do day 3's this week as can feel AF coming, she'll prob be here tomorrow as my pain is bad! Been pms'ing all weekend too! Any update on your op yet?

notyetamumbuttrying · 04/08/2020 17:23

@Rma13 I don't think it's impossible at all! You might get your period if you do ovulate then! Get dtd!
Thank you, will keep you posted Smilex

Rma13 · 04/08/2020 16:51

Hi @notyetamumbuttrying no operation date yet 🤦‍♀️ they are just leaving me in pain to be honest! still no sign of AF this end! Im trying not to think about it but it's hard! I swear I'm showing signs of ovulation right now but thats impossible right?

I'm sorry Af showed up for you! So glad you've both got appointments though hopefully the drs will be able to help! Sending you so many positive thoughts xx

notyetamumbuttrying · 04/08/2020 15:56

Hey @Rma13 how are you? I came on so I'm cycle 12 now. Made the drs appointment and having bloods this month. Dh is gonna go for SA this month too with a bit of luck! Any date for your op yet? Any sign of AF?

Hope everyone else is well!? Thanks

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/07/2020 09:23

@Rma13 good you're seeing a fertility dr soon that's great! Thank you, will keep you posted but not expecting much as always lol!

Rma13 · 19/07/2020 23:50

@notyetamumbuttrying nope still no news on when my OP will be which is so frustrating and I still haven't seen AF since April! But I've also got an appointment with the fertility Dr in September so hopefully she can help me! My fingers are crossed for you!

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/07/2020 18:39

Hey @Rma13 good to hear from you! Do you have a date for your op now? I'm good thanks. 5dpo so not much to report from me.

Rma13 · 19/07/2020 18:34

Hi everyone not heard from you all for a while Hows everyone getting on? I am just waiting for my op and then ttc will commence and I cannot wait! 😊

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/07/2020 12:32

@Lauralozzle I feel you, don't worry. We're cycle 11, month 10 because I have short cycles too. It's bloody horrible ttc when it's been that many months. I'm still trying to hold out hope as I have regular cycles albeit short. Painful periods but no bleeding outside of that timeframe so I hope everything's alright. Will be calling docs next month tho as it'll by cycle 12, month 11 by then. Best of luck to us both!

@HollowayL30 really hope it's a breeze for you again. It's a right slog for some couples!

Lauralozzle · 09/07/2020 11:31

@notyetamumbuttrying been ttc 12 months now - but this is cycle 14 (I have had some short cycles during this time).

Some months have been better planned than other months - so there have been some cycles where the chance of catching was not great, but not impossible.

I do think we need help, so I will make the appointment with the doctor when AF comes, but to be honest, I’m terrified that there will be something terribly wrong with me!

My sister has PCOS - so I wouldn’t be surprised with a PCOS diagnosis (even though I’m 100% sure I’m ovulating) or endo or something like that. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I have endo - my periods are painful. Without sounding like a moaning Myrtle I can see an infertility path with IVF in the long run.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood today lol!

HollowayL30 · 09/07/2020 10:21

@notyetamumbuttrying Aww I know to be honest I don't think it's going to happen as soon as we like to think but thought we would make the testing each month fun. My youngest I fell pregnant whilst on the patch which I've been on for years, my partner jokes that I'm super fertile but I have to keep telling him it doesn't happen that easy! The best advice I can give is to not over think it, and just enjoy every minute of trying! 🤣 Xx is anyone due to test soon? I love hearing results X

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/07/2020 10:05

How long you been ttc @Lauralozzle?

That sounds like a cute idea @HollowayL30 I hope you get lucky first time! That would be amazing and so rare for those of us on here. We've been slogging away for months now 😂

HollowayL30 · 09/07/2020 09:40

Morning all!
I’m new here so haven’t really posted but I read all yours and good luck to everyone hoping for a BFP this month!
I came off my coil 2 half weeks ago and had a big bleed straight away so assuming that was my period it states I am fertile this week, been DTD pretty much every day but that’s normal for us 😂😂
As this is this first child we have actually planned we’ve decided on the 25th to test by going for dinner and doing a test at the restaurant then placing in my bag for us to find out 😂 if positive we will obviously head home if not we will enjoy a child free night out ( my mother is babysitting) I’m in the mindset that just having my coil out and not knowing when I’m actually ovulating that’s if it’s a BFN I’m not too disheartened about it. Love reading all your stories!
@Purley Congratulations 🥳

Lauralozzle · 09/07/2020 08:56

11/12dpo - temp drop today - not a massive drop, but I’m pretty sure I’m out this month now given the previous BFN. My downward temps are often fairly slow with a massive dip on day of AF so expect that tomorrow or Friday.

This TTC lark is doing my head in!

I think when AF starts I’ll call the doctors and try and get a referral sorted. I can only think that there’s something wrong with one of us!

Rma13 · 08/07/2020 17:52

Congratulations @purley so happy for you!

Welcome @reginaaPhalange I have PCOS too, dont let that make you loose hope, I have a DS who is 4 and we are hoping to ttc no.2 soon 🥰

Lauralozzle · 08/07/2020 13:52

So, today I’m either 10/11dpo and this morning had a temp rise. Started feeling twinges though - not AF style cramps but it does feel like it could turn into that.

I would have expected to see a temp drop by now, but I’ve checked some older charts and there are a few where my temps rained high until the day of my period.

Boobs sore, but not as bad anymore. Think I’m probably out to be honest.

I’ve attached my BFN from yesterday- nothing there even when I tweak it!

This cycle is so confusing!!

Lauralozzle · 07/07/2020 22:33

@Purley congratulations!! That’s a nice line!

I’ve tested today - FF has me down as 9dpo (I reckon 10dpo) and it was a BFN.

Still sore boobs though. Slow temp rises too. Expecting a drop tomorrow.

I’m due on Friday/Saturday so will wait until Saturday before testing again unless my temps keep rising... if so, might test again Thursday!

Purley · 07/07/2020 21:29

Thank you everyone Smile

I really can't believe it. Only 11 DPO. Yesterday I kept needing the toilet so that kind of pushed me into testing early. Is anyone else testing soon? Baby dust to you all Star

helia · 07/07/2020 21:20

Congratulations, @Purley!!!

Welcome, @ReginaaPhalange!

2020mission · 07/07/2020 21:10

Congratulations @Purley! How many DPO are you? The line is so clear 😃
