Help. Can I join please? I'm 31 with PCOS. Ttc baby number 1!

Aww congrats @Purley 🥳 how nice when you weren't expecting it! Decent line too! 😊

Purley · 07/07/2020 18:39

Hi everyone, so I couldn't hack it any longer and decided to take a test at 4pm today. 3 days before AF. Not at all sensible... And was a cheap one from the Co op. You could have knocked me down with a feather! BFP😊 I am in so much shock. Still taking it in...

Hi @lauralozzle
I was literally reading other posts about symptoms! The next few days are going to go so slow
I have very tender nipples which I don't normally get around af. I also have some mild cramping on and off and I'm absolutely exhausted. Im trying to remain chilled and not over think anything, just can't help but hope!! Other than that I don't "feel" pregnant so who knows!
AF is due on 10th

Lauralozzle · 05/07/2020 21:20

Hope everyone is okay

7/8dpo Today, boobs still really tender, mild cramping once today but nothing really.

My temps this month have thrown me. I’ve had a fairly clear rise to ovulation has definitely happened, but my temps are no way near as high as they usually are. It’s a bit strange. I had a bbt dip yesterday, just above coverline, but cause my temps are pretty low it’s not a particularly big dip. Temp increased this morning- but again, still lower than usual.

I’m trying not to read anything into it at all. I’ve had temp dips before and AF came, but... my boobs really do feel like they’ve been injected with lead or something.

Thank you @Purley and @Sakura54 it really has been a whirlwind, I'm still trying to process everything and waiting on an OP date! Will probably start ttc again as soon as I've recovered as we both want another baby so much!

notyetamumbuttrying · 03/07/2020 10:34

Thanks @helia I'm good for now, so used to this after months of nothing 😂 finally seeing the funny side, even tho it's not funny at all 🤪
Oh that's interesting @Purley well I was gonna test today and haven't so if no show today I'll test tomorrow.
I'm glad you only have a few more days and to find out, fingers crossed for you!

Sakura54 · 03/07/2020 08:46

@Rma13 oh no what a whirlwind it's been for you. That's horrible, but at least you finally have an answer now. Good luck with the op!

Purley · 03/07/2020 08:39

Thinking of you @Rma13 It must be distressing but once you have the op you can start trying again and hopefully you'll have much more success.

@notyetamumbuttrying With my first I was convinced AF was coming, even went out and bought tampons! It never happened and I got a BFP a few days later. You never know!

I have a feeling things haven't worked for us this month, can't say why, just a niggle :( Oh well, will have to wait a few more days and see

helia · 03/07/2020 07:58

Ahhh @notyetamumbuttrying, hope you are OK. You're not out until you're out!

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/07/2020 21:52

@helia I was going to test tomorrow but can feel AF coming so will just wake up to that in the morning 😫
Hopefully you'll be quick again with no2, how amazing would that be!! This is my first and we've been trying 10 months now, bloody draining!

helia · 02/07/2020 21:48

Not until around 15 July @2020mission! I've only got one pregnancy test and need to make it last. Grin I'm not expecting to have conceived this month (although perhaps there is such a thing as beginner's luck?) so trying to be as relaxed as possible about everything. I was positively obsessed when we were trying for DC#1 and swore blind I'd conceived the first month only to be very disappointed. We were so lucky to conceive the second month but I'd totally convinced myself by then it was unlikely! Let me know how you get on?

2020mission · 02/07/2020 21:43

@helia I'm CD15 too, and 4 DPO so not testing until next weekend. Probably will end up using a cheapie next Friday. Feels so far away! when are you thinking of testing?

helia · 02/07/2020 21:08

How's everyone doing this week? I'm glad it's nearly Friday! Is anyone testing this weekend? Only CD15 here - think I'm now in the TWW. I haven't been tracking ovulation as such but CM (sorry TMI) no longer seems to be EWCM so I'm guessing that's that for this month. We're still sticking to the sex every 2 to 3 days plan just in case.

Lauralozzle · 02/07/2020 12:16

@Rma13 I’m sorry to hear that you have to put TRC on hold but at least you now have answers and a plan moving forward.

@HollowayL30 and @zippityzip welcome 😊

Rma13 · 01/07/2020 21:21

Thank you everyone 💕 they are trying to get me in for surgery ASAP but due to covid19 it may take longer than normal!

peonyrose87 · 01/07/2020 19:38

@Rma13 oh I'm sorry to hear that, but hopefully after your surgery everything will start working again and you can start ttc again 🤞🏻❤️

2020mission · 01/07/2020 19:29

@Rma13 sorry to hear that but try to keep positive as it's a good thing they have found out and you will be back to TTC soon I'm sure!

notyetamumbuttrying · 01/07/2020 18:01

Aww @Rma13 so sorry to hear but at least you have answers and treatment now. Once it's done you can get bk ttc and hopefully be successful!! How long until they can fit in the op, or too soon for that question still?

helia · 01/07/2020 17:59

I'm so sorry to hear that, @Rma13. When can they fit you in for the operation?

Rma13 · 01/07/2020 17:02

So update on me, just had a call from the Drs who's said the scan I had is showing cysts on my ovaries, which is probably why I've not had AF and ive also got two large gall stones which is probably what is causing the pain! So I now need an operation 🤦‍♀️ so looks like I'm having to put ttc on hold and my heart is broken!

HollowayL30 · 01/07/2020 15:54

Hello all! Can I please join! This will be trying for our fourth! The first 3 weren’t planned so we have decided now to just try for one more then I’m done. I had my coil out last week and have been bleeding since on and off. My app states I’m due to ovulate next week, hoping end of July I get a positive. Looking forward to seeing how quickly or long it takes this time. X

zippityzip · 01/07/2020 15:45

Hi all, can I join! I've been scrolling and staring at everyone's pee sticks. I think I have a slight obsession!

I'm on cycle 2 - TTC our third. First two were not even planned so this is alllllll new to me. Since coming off contraception I'm not ovulating. Supposed to be heading into my fertile week according to Ovia but not getting any positive news from One Step.

I've just started taking Agnus Castus and Inositol today which hopefully will kick start my fertility.

After this weekend I'll be in the TWW.

Baby dust to everyone!

Lauralozzle · 01/07/2020 12:38

@KatieFH I’d test again in a few days. I can see a very faint line but I can’t see any colour to it, so hopefully it’ll be stronger in a few days time

Suki2020 · 01/07/2020 11:33

@katieFH can see a very faint line, so definitely test again in a couple of days. Fingers crossed for you.
