June Bus - who's on board?

Received a BFN today and had signs of AF last night. The cramps were real!!
Wondering if the first LH peak I’ve had was the true peak(AF would be due today) or the second was the true peak.. if the second AF wouldn’t be due until next week🤷🏽‍♀️
Wow our bodies don’t make things easy!!

@KRK05 oooo hope you had a lovely night!🤍 Me and OH are going to do date night tonight I haven't worn make up since his birthday in March because of lockdown so will be nice to make an effort for him🥰
I wouldn't stress about it too much, if you measure again tomorrow and its in line with your normal temperatures then you could maybe input a similar temperature for today so that the chart is continuous? Just an idea. I normally do mine at 6.15 but the other day I took it at 6.45 because I was late waking but it didn't make too much difference it was like 0.10 difference but my chart was fine🤷🏼‍♀️

Just catching up, theres lots to catch up on 🙈 had a wee night off & date night with OH last night which was very nice, took my mind off everything 🥰 CD8 tomorrow so starting my CB. I'm quite annoyed at myself though I've been taking my temp 8am every day but didnt this morning as we were up until really late & I turned my alarm off so I'm assuming that's my charts messed up 😭

@Skip86 Ah I'm so sorry u & DH had an argument, TTC can be so stressful along with everything else in life but I'm glad yous have made up now. Hope u see that rise soon, at least it's a flashing smiley & not the dreaded ⭕

@jaxs23 Sorry to hear about your CP, how u finding BBT this is my first month doing it?

@Minster2012 Yay to the flashing smiley 😁 I cant wait to see that.

@Skip86 I couldn't believe she said it to be honest and I was glad she was on the other end of the phone as opposed to in the same room as me. Yes I might be young but I thought I was having another baby and now you're telling me I'm not

@33Carr She said oh well you'll be back on our books in no time and I thought yeah and I'm going to request not to have you again...!
I'm not holding out any hopes for this cycle as I'm not entirely sure when it started or when it will end but we have DTD every day since "AF" left so hoping that will hold out😂

@lucyrp what is it with some people?! What a dim thing for her to say when you're feeling so shitty 🙄

@lucyrp How very useful if her! I'm sure she should know that it isn't an easy journey for everyone! Hopefully You'll get some ovulation symptoms rather than AF again!

@33Carr I think something definitely happened but for whatever reason it didn't work out but unsure if it was AF I had or bleeding from that. I know I thought it was pretty rude! And she also said "oh well you're young plenty of time yet" 🤨

@33Carr I use femometer too & find it really easy, it’s not changed my ovulation date from today though yet after still 0 on IC OPK but smiley face on CB but it’s first month hopefully of properly tracking after cycles all over from MC so it should get the hang of it

@Excitablemuch that’s good then, I’m only going to do the CB in the morning anyway but hoping our horniness continues for all the smiles after first one this morning 😂

It's really eye opening reading some of your stories. I'm really hoping for some happy ending 😊 baby dust x

@lucyrp Just read your OP! Can't believe she told you to go for a pint?! Does sound likely that it didn't implant properly for period to be 18 days late though.

So negative CB this morning but very dark opk this afternoon - redid CB and got smiley face. I think this is exactly what happened last month but I didn't do another smiley til the morning so only got one day.

DTD 4 times in a row anyway last month as SMEP worked out that way but I guess it might make a difference having both days known about. Anyway good to see I am doing the same every month I guess?!

@33Carr I use the fermometer app alongside Flo and I record my BBT on there. Have only been using for the last week though, not sure it's any help at predicting my FW atm but sure once it gets an idea of what's going on with all the data I input it should help. I record when we DTD and my BBT on there.

@SmileyT this was my first post 😂🙈

Thanks @SmileyT Just downloaded the Femometer app so I can feel a little bit 'in control', even though we can't actually control that much in reality!! Does anyone else use it?

@minster2012 whoa sounds like you've had quite the journey so far! Wishing you all the best for the future!

@SmileyT its not my first CB I took my first CB in the morning on Friday and it was ⭕️ then I took another 4 hours later and it was the static smiley. If you read my first message on this thread further down it explains it all. Basically I believe I had a CP last Sunday and am unsure whether that's why I bled or if it was AF. So technically AF could come again at some point this cycle if that wasn't what it was last week. I would explain it all but it would be an essay 😂

Ha ha! Thank you but no more than a lot of ppl @Skip86 but it would be nice to conceive naturally & a hella cheaper 😂 but even if we do the IVF again (2 embryos left) then I need to track cycles so 🤞🏻There’s no need

@33Carr well here is hoping for a successful fertile period x

@lucyrp oh just read back and realised this was your first CB test so will always come up with blank ⭕️ so that's all good, why are you expecting AF again?

@jaxs23 tbh I'm always in the mood for sex, scheduling it is a bit rubbish sometimes but once I get into it I always love it 😂 me and DP don't full on argue so I guess if we weren't talking that would be different I'm talking more about general bickering which is easy to put aside for the greater good x

@notyetamumbuttrying ahh sorry AF got you but here's to starting a new cycle 🥂

@Minster2012 such a journey you've been on, so amazing you seem to stay so positive ❤️

Jaysus @Minster2012 what a journey! You sure deserve this after everything you've been through🤞🏼🤞🏼

@SS123456 we’ve had really good experience in general of IVF. I’m a strange case as this is really our first time TTC as I’ve been on chemo for malignant melanoma for 10 years so all the time I’ve known DH for my NHS immunotherapy to continue I had to be on 2 types of contraception & couldn’t stop it til last year so our DS is a product of our first IVF which was our embryos made on NHS for medical reasons (as a female having chemo you are offered embryo creation because it usually kills your fertility which is why my nurse is realistic for our chances of natural. DS was an embryo transferred to my best friend as a surrogate. So half was NHS but the drugs for her & transfer was private. Then last year when I could stop my treatment we spent 8 months TTC whilst getting all my medical permissions in place to get a frozen embryo transferred to me. So that was all private but only half of it as we have embryos already.

So we’ve done a successful transfer to my friend, & a transfer to me which ended in a missed miscarriage in March. Overall our experience has been very good, though our nurse consultant is the angel of death 😂very much “setting ppl up to fail/being very realistic!” She has said my fertility is screwed really. So I haven’t had all the NHS testing that goes before private but our last transfer /drugs cost around £2000, the surrogacy cost us many many many more multiples of that but we have a miracle child!

I thought if going for private you can ask for a referral from GP even without testing but would be worth doing the tests. Do you mean getting the IVF drugs from the doctor? Ours won’t do that.

Hi all. @Minster2012 and @Skip86 congrats on the flashing smilies still non for me but only cd10
Im getting totally lost on this thread! 😂I'm new to MN.

@Minster2012 I'm really sorry to hear about your MC 😔. Hopefully you will be back on track after that now 🤞🏻. I'm considering going private for treatment if we don't have any luck this month but it is so expensive. What was your experience of the whole process? I asked my doctor about some fertility medication but she said I won't even get that on the NHS due to having a child already. I knew they wouldn't fund IVF but I did think they would at least prescribe drugs if needed 🤔

Morning all, just firmly confirming my seat now as AF arrived for me this morning. This is cycle 9 now! I'm ringing docs this week to start blood tests as I'm 34 and getting worried! Also gonna start new supplements of vita dhd and coq10. Need to read through all the msgs to catch up still! Hope everyone is well.

@SS123456 we really like preseed, I’ve only been tracking /trying to for a cycle so kinda cycle 1 for us after a miscarriage from IVF but TTC for 8 months prior to that but I think my injection was still in my system, hopefully on track now, I’m also 36 in July 🥰

@Skip86 when I saw the flashing 😀I literally wanted to jump him, totally irrational as like you it could be for longer but it’s progress isn’t it! & could be the right time so why not use it 😀

@Minster2012 yay for flashing 😊! People who are not TTC will never understand the excitement of that little face 😂😂 now for both of us to get the static! I've had 3 days flashing, have been testing in the arvo/evening with IC but have literally not a whisper of a line on them. Hopefully tomorrow.
Your nurse sounds like hard work. With people like that I like to play a game to be as sickly sweet and smiley as possible, to try and get a smile back from them!

@CMM20 frustrating! With such regular cycles I'm sure it'll change soon.

@jaxs23 ooh sorry I don't think I can give advice on DTD when dark at DH! Except to remember that your fertile window is really quite long so if you miss one session it's not the end of the world. Personally I'd prefer not have sex when we're hating on each other as it just doesn't feel right, so I try to make up then do it, or just wait 😊
