Hey ladies

Am I okay to still continue on this bus? Unfortunately my hcg levels do not indicate a viable pregnancy at this point! So 1 MC and Another MC/CP for me ☹️ any tips would be greatly appreciated xx

Fizzl · 19/06/2020 14:13

@Annny27 👋🏼 don't worry you won't be left on your own as I won't be getting a BFP this month seeing as my body is refusing to ovulate. There's is officially 0 chance of a pregnancy happening here right now so I won't be going anywhere until my body sorts itself out and decides it would like to function properly. I don't think I'm asking too much from it 🙄

SunnySideUp2020 · 19/06/2020 13:14

@annny27 😄😄 love the pact.

Feeling great. Unfortunately 😑 no symptoms at all. I am tired but it's also 31 degres in the house so that's probably why.
Boobs haven't even gotten bigger this month...
I am on a diet and exercising so maybe that's why.
I did an opk out of despair and i lt was blank.
Also took this quizz
patientplatform.typeform.com/to/ItAsFh

And i am not the quizz type of person
... said i am probs not pregnant 🙄🙄🙄

8 dpo... waiting for 12 dpo to test

Annny27 · 19/06/2020 12:55

Afternoon ladies :) cd3 now and I am over my depression and despair from cycle day 1 haha! Its always shit moving on to a new cycle!

We have decided to potentially wait for the NHS referral and not go private. I am only 28 and 6 months (5 now!) Isn't too much to wait and fingers crossed we fall naturally before then!

@Leok83 yes cycle buddies for the last time please haha!

@scrumdiddly123 definitely looks super close to ovulation :D

@ELM7 glad you managed to dtd even if it wasn't romantic haha!

@sunnysideup2020 how are you feeling lovely?

As happy as I will be for everyone to get their bfps I will be so gutted if I am left by myself if you all get your bfps before me haha. Let's make a pact for us all to get our bfps this month 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ELM7 glad you managed something. And honestly it only takes once...

@scrumdiddly123 oh it's a few hours away from positive!!!

@Leok83 autocorrect is annoying sometimes 🙄

ELM7 · 19/06/2020 10:12

Morning Ladies hope you are all ok.

Happy Friday. Glad we’ve got another week done. This week hasnt been a good one so glad to see the back of it.

So I am officially 1dpo and the TWW begins. We did manage to DTD on Wed evening but it was far from romantic and bless the faces DH was making because he was in so much pain with his back. I felt awful putting him through it. Am not expecting a BFP from it. But at least that should make the TWW less stressful.

Leok83 · 19/06/2020 09:49

@Nuggetlover27 @SunnySideUp2020 sorry that was autocorrect it is luteal phase and it tried to autocorrect me there again😄😄

@scrumdiddly123 that’s looking good for ovulation very soon! That’s tough on you having your twin due but also really exciting and hopefully your new nieces/nephews will be a great distraction in your TWW!

scrumdiddly123 · 19/06/2020 09:04

Morning! @SunnySideUp2020 yes you’re right it’s luteal phase! Maybe an autocorrect there 🙈
CD16 today and looks like I’m very close to my peak! Woohoo! I’ve felt really relaxed this month and been DTD because we wanted to and not just because we had to so hoping that’ll help!
@ELM7 did you manage to find a way to get round your partners bad back? Hope so, must be frustrating to have to miss a month!
Everyone else ok? Who’s close to testing?

My twin sisters due date was yesterday so I’m waiting impatiently for her to go into Labour! It’s a little hard for me as I would have been due next week but I’m mostly just excited for her. My time will come 🤞🏻🤞🏻

SunnySideUp2020 · 19/06/2020 08:23

@Leok83 LP isn't luteal phase?
Either your autocorrect has gone mad or i have been mistaken for 6 months 😅

Hopesandrainbows · 19/06/2020 06:52

Only 5dpo but have backache and pms like cramps 😞 already feel like I'm out. Last few months I have had cramps a week or so before AF c

Leok83 · 18/06/2020 19:58

@Nuggetlover27 sorry LP is a literal phase.thw time between ovulation and AF..the longer that is the better as more time for a bean to get settled before the womb lining starts to shed. Think average is 14 days but normal is over 10. A few of us have shorter LP here, mine was 9days post MC initially so was a bit worried it was too short but lengthened to 12 days now (af arriving 13 dpo puts it at that) so even tho disappointing AF arrived have to take solace in that my LP is more normal looking now as short can suggest issues such as low progesterone.

@Annny27 I wouldn’t worry about the consultant, they’re just going on rules of when they’re allowed to go further with tests but if you are paying they’ll be more than happy to oblige!

SunnySideUp2020 · 18/06/2020 19:42

@Hopesandrainbows 7 dpo here and nothing!! Also comparing but i dont think it works 😅

Also have you name changed? Did i miss something ..? 🤔

Hopesandrainbows · 18/06/2020 19:13

I'm currently 4dpo and no symptoms yet but I don't expect there would be. I can't help but compare to when I was pregnant when I had the miscarriage and I had sore nipples by now but maybe that was a coincidence. Here's hoping 🤞

SunnySideUp2020 · 18/06/2020 10:18

@Annny27 i think the consultant will have a different attitude with you being private.
Nhs has limited resources so that's why they tend to send you away or tell you yo give it time but privately i am sure they will be much more understanding and proactive..

SunnySideUp2020 · 18/06/2020 10:16

@Annny27 @Fizzl preach ladies.
This is my daily internal rant and self-pitying session: can't even produce a pregnancy and can't even make the most of my life right now.
Or in other words can't even be pregnant during covid to be able to be home and rest all day.
Instead i am like a lion in a cage... on one hand waiting for a bfp and on the other hand waiting to be able to enjoy like without a bfp.

Miserable.

But once the rant is over we go back to hoping for a bfp soon/next cycle/in a few month blah blah blahhhhh

Let's stay strong 💪❤
😁

Nuggetlover27 · 18/06/2020 07:57

@Leok83 sorry I'm not sure what LP is , but if you mean my cycle then it's been messed up since my MC. I used to have 30/31 day cycles but since it's more like minimum of 35

@Annny27 ❤️ it's so tough mentally. People who aren't going through what we all are just don't understand (I know last year I never used to!)
I'm sure there's no need to worry about that consultant , hopefully you will get a different one though - who is more helpful!
Home bargains is good but it's no Maldives! Haha

Fizzl · 17/06/2020 22:36

Ops sorry posted half a message there!

@Annny27 sorry I was about to type I'd treated myself to a trip to the supermarket! Its about as exciting as it gets these days, especially when I've not really been shopping for 3 months. To be fair, I do love home bargains! Last time I went I came out with sooo much stuff I didn't need but couldn't resist!

Fizzl · 17/06/2020 22:34

@Leok83 I'm good thanks. Still absolutely nothing happening here tho! My poor uterus seems to be in a right pickle 😒😂 i have my next lot of acupuncture on Tuesday so let's see what magic can hopefully be worked.

@Annny27 i wouldn't care what they think and like you said they won't grumble if your paying privately. I don't think they can say no to seeing you privately - that's what you're paying for 😁

And rant away - I've felt exactly like that recently and that my whole life feels on hold and it sucks! I also treated myself to a trip to

I really hope I am cycle buddies with you both this month but not feeling too hopeful 😔

@scrumdiddly123 all the positive signs are there for you so 🤞

Annny27 · 17/06/2020 22:03

We've all had our fair share of rants.......here's mine 🙈

Just bloody Covid! If I am childless I wsnt to be able to LIVE and enjoy every second of it. After every period arrival I want to be going to the theatre, a comedy show, a spontaneous weekend trip to Paris, a two week beach holiday in the Maldives. But no....how did I treat myself today? A fricking trip to home bargains. Honestly 🙈🙈🙈

@scrumdiddly123 yeah you feel if you miss a day of dtd with ewcm then you are missing your bodies signals haha

OP posts:
scrumdiddly123 · 17/06/2020 21:52

@Annny27 @Leok83 sorry AF got you! We are well overdue some BFPs on here! Hope you’re both having wine and chocolate!
Even more EWCM today so guess we will be DTD again tonight 🙄😂 I know its good really and I always feel happier knowing that my body is at least capable of making a nice fertile environment! Just waiting on a positive opk now 🤞🏻Cd14 today and this is my 8th fertile day according to FF!

Annny27 · 17/06/2020 21:45

Yep had a big cry to my husband as we're ready for another month now haha! March baby here we come! He is also putting me on his works private health care so hopefully I can get some private tests done as cba to wait till November when the NHS want to refer me haha. Awkward thing is is that the consultant who does the private tests is also the NHS consultant who told me to wait till November 🙈 so not sure if he will advise me against seeing him but surely he won't say no to private fees

@leok83 yes cycle buddies let's hope our bodies cooperate haha!

@Nuggetlover27 bid fingers crossed for you!

@SunnySideUp2020 honestly every month is exhausting, it really is a test of patience and my need to control everything.

@fizzl maybe you will be my cycle buddy this month too 🤞🤞🤞 really hope you start to feel back to normal and your body does what it needs to. Must be super frustrating 💗

OP posts:
Leok83 · 17/06/2020 21:43

@SunnySideUp2020 ya it seems to be getting a bit longer which is good! Even longer than pre MC. When are you going to test do you think?

@Fizzl how are you doing? Still no signs of anything happening yet?

@ELM7 oh no I hope you can figure a way around it. Definitely try and get creative!

@scrumdiddly123 embrace that EWCM😄 I wish I had some too!!

Leok83 · 17/06/2020 21:28

@Annny27 I’m so sorry AF got you too..cycle buddies again then, hard to feel positive today but let’s hope this is our cycle!

@Nuggetlover27 wow that’s a great long LP if your not late until Friday! Really hope you get a BFP at the weekend! We are really long long overdue a BFP here!!

Fizzl · 17/06/2020 20:44

Ah @Annny27 and @Leok83 I'm sorry 😔

@ELM7 you might need to get creative 😂 life likes to throw us these curve balls!

Nuggetlover27 · 17/06/2020 16:21

@Leok83 sorry that AF has arrived for you 😣

@Annny27 I agree. Wish I didn't know anything about IB. It's all Google's fault! Haha
I will be "late" Friday so if nothing happens in the next couple of days I will test this weekend
🙋🏻‍♀️ yes this is also me! Sorry you're onto month 7 😣
