AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

@LS2020 you’re so lovely, thank you 😊 how are you getting on?

Massive news in our house today, I’ve actually come on my period 😂 101 day cycle 🤦🏼‍♀️

LS2020 · 13/10/2020 17:46

@Ughmaybenot yeah I do, though you really need him in top form otherwise would cause you more pain for a longer length of time! Yeah exactly, you know about it, people still have kids naturally with PCOS and you’ve caught it young so loads of time for anything else extra you need. I really hope you hear soon for you both 🤞🏻

Ughmaybenot · 13/10/2020 17:25

@LS2020 yay for ‘fine’ sperm Grin it’s weird, I feel quite relieved it isn’t anything wrong with my husband but he’s feeling really shit, like he’s worried I’ll be taking it really hard that all this is purely ‘my fault’ (he doesn’t see it like that at all, but is worried I do iyswim?) but we’re in it together either way imo so 🤷🏼‍♀️
It’ll work out for both of us, I know it 😊

LS2020 · 13/10/2020 17:13

@Ughmaybenot that’s good news! I was going to say those results sounded loads better than ours and doctor said ours were fine ☺️ Is that referral to fertility clinic?

Ughmaybenot · 13/10/2020 15:05

@LS2020 apparently there are no real issues with my husband and my referral has been processed today. Hopefully not too long to wait now.

LS2020 · 13/10/2020 15:01

@Ughmaybenot sorry I didn’t see this yesterday!! What did they say?

Ughmaybenot · 12/10/2020 09:36

Had my husbands results back already (yay for being quick!) 87% head abnormalities... I hate that I don’t know what that means for us 🤦🏼‍♀️ 40% rapid motility, 29% slow progressive, which I guess isn’t bad??
Have a call booked with my gp later, don’t mind me, just going to be stressing til then 😬

LS2020 · 07/10/2020 15:01

@Ughmaybenot I know I was crying laughing when he got back 😂 “please somebody take my sample” 😂😂
Yes! I’ve got an internal scan to do but they’re doing that alongside the referral to fertility as they think my scan will be done and results back before a fertility place comes up so just have to see!

Ughmaybenot · 07/10/2020 11:14

@LS2020 stopppp 😂 that’s the funniest image!! That’s quite comforting actually, in this together 👯‍♀️

LS2020 · 07/10/2020 07:06

@Ughmaybenotueah my OH couldn’t find the place (we had strict 30 minute instructions) and he said he looked so dramatic running round a hospital clutching the little pot 😂😂
Oh that’s good, you’ll be at the same stages as us then 🤞🏻

Ughmaybenot · 06/10/2020 10:40

@LS2020 yea fine I think, he said he felt like a right weirdo with his.. specimen in hand 😂 they’ve said to wait two weeks then call his gp. Which isn’t toooo bad And it’s all moving in the right direction. I think that’s the last of the bits we have to do before we get our appointment tho, which is good. Thank you for asking 😊

LS2020 · 06/10/2020 07:42

@AKcheer yeah I did OPKs for a couple of months but it just ended up that I was ovulating exactly when the app predicted so it just kinda felt like a waste of money for me. I can understand them being useful if you have odd/ long cycles though.
Yeah I did test early for a holiday but AF ended up being about a week late so would have tested anyway and seen.
Nothing from doctors either really - bloods have all been fine as was OH’s SA so just waiting on an internal scan (which I’m expecting to be fine as had one in jan) and then referral to fertility specialist.

@Orange234 welcome! That sounds like your body could have had a surge but didn’t release an egg so it’s regeared back up and you’ve ovulated a bit later

@Ughmaybenot did it all go ok for your OH? Do you have any more scans or anything left?

Ughmaybenot · 05/10/2020 13:27

@LS2020 they didn’t really offer anything else, the doctor hadn’t realised that he couldn’t book a room at the moment I guess.
Just sick of it now, just gimme the clomid and go away with all these tests 😂

Orange234 · 05/10/2020 13:08

Hi everyone...
Currently TTC baby no. 2!
Been using ovulation test strips (fermometer ones) and I’m getting stressed with it!!! I had a few days of high readings but no peak and then it tailed off... just tested today to see if it was still low and they are reading high again a week later?
I presumed I had missed my peak and ovulation but it was around the high readings but now I’m not sure?!
Anyone had anything similar? Worrying there is something wrong!!! Currently cycle day 21!

AKcheer · 05/10/2020 09:50

@LS2020 I am on cycle number 4 now. Yup we did yesterday and then will tonight too! That’s a good idea to leave the OPK. I was thinking about that this month but I just thought let’s try another month with it and see what happens to be honest. Oh no that’s so sad I’m sorry you had a CP. Did you test early and find out? Have the doctors said anything yet? Any indication?

LS2020 · 05/10/2020 07:09

@mrswilso aww I’m so glad to hear your pregnancy is developing wonderfully ❤️ Haha yeah sadly you still have a lot of time for the nausea to hit and trust me, you’re going to miss the days where it wasn’t persistent so do enjoy!!
Thanks lovely, body is very out of each atm think I’m about 4DPO and my RHR is the same level as when I got my BFP so deffo must be poorly or something 😩

@Ughmaybenot yeah my OH was the same but his came back fine and it’s nice to just know 🤞🏻 Yeah I think my OH had it tucked into his baggier jeans waistband while he drove. An hour is far though - have they been ok with that?

@AKcheer glad to hear you’re doing well! What cycle are you on now? As long as your start DTD when you get a positive OPK you’ll be fine, still got a day til you ovulate at that point 😊 I’m doing ok thanks - had a CP last month so trying to work out my cycle this month is a bit of a nightmare but stopped OPK testing this month to try take the pressure off. Doctors are still sending me in for my testing etc so feel like I’m making progress ☺️

AKcheer · 04/10/2020 23:32

Hey @LS2020 thanks for remembering me! How are you!? All good here, another cycle another try! Been DTD and trying to be quite relaxed about it which I think we have. Had a positive opk today too. Fingers crossed for this month but we will see! We DTD on Thursday and didn’t end up doing it again until today. Oops! But legs see.

How are you and your hubby getting on? How’s it going xx

Ughmaybenot · 04/10/2020 21:29

@LS2020 he’s okay I think... not talking about it too much. Honestly I think he’s just worried it’ll turn out to be something wrong with him as well but the chances of that are pretty bloody slim so fingers crossed it all comes back fine🤞🏻 ha, no. He’s to do his thing here at home then take it with him to the hospital which is best part of an hour away 😂’tucked under his arm’ is best apparently!
Thank you @mrswilso 😊 I’m very happy to hear you’re getting on so well. Exciting times ahead!

mrswilso · 04/10/2020 21:23

So weird I was just thinking about you girls earlier!
I'm doing good thanks ☺️
5+1 today and have my booking appointment over the phone tomorrow morning. I've booked us in for an early scan at 8 weeks so I'm counting the days and hoping everything is okay 🥰 I got 2-3 weeks on a CB digital yesterday and my FRERS progressed perfectly 😭❤️
Haven't actually had much in the way of symptoms, wouldn't KNOW if I wasn't late and didn't know. Although my hormones are haywire - poor hubby's walking on eggshells 🤣 and my boobs are definitely getting fuller and sorer. I've still been lucky on the nausea front - trying not to wish for it cos I know when it hits I'll be kicking myself 😂

Glad to hear you're looking after yourself @LS2020 💕
And hope your mister is okay tomorrow @Ughmaybenot sending lots of good vibes for his results ✨

LS2020 · 04/10/2020 19:25

@Ughmaybenot how is he feeling for it? Did you find out if he gets a room in hospital to do it in?

I’m good thanks, no positive OPK this week but my RHR has started to rise so hoping my cycle is fine 🤞🏻 Been a bit under the weather this week, had loads of nausea and sore boobs that I had when I got my BFP last month which has been feeling bittersweet but practising a lot of self care with chocolate and a bath tonight 😂

Ughmaybenot · 04/10/2020 19:21

Just waiting on my referral still! DH has his ‘specimen sample’ appointment tomorrow.

How about you @LS2020?

LS2020 · 04/10/2020 19:18

@mrswilso @Ughmaybenot @AKcheer @Kaylamc how are you all getting on x

LS2020 · 24/09/2020 07:16

Thanks @mrswilso I hope so too but very glad I could pass on some of the BFP luck on this thread! Hope you have a lovely sticky bean and a healthy and happy 9 months xx

mrswilso · 24/09/2020 07:05

Aw @LS2020 I could hug you! 💕
Hope today's a better day and really hope you get another BFP nice and quickly x

LS2020 · 23/09/2020 20:19

Also @mrswilso forgot to say I’m very glad you had some good news about your dad too, can’t imagine how terrifying everything is with cancer treatment atm
