7 months ttc (cont of 6 months ttc)

@notyetamumbuttrying
June 22nd!

Thanks @Hoping41! I'll start Angus castus again from cd1 until ov. And just keep up with the other vitamins. I've given up booze for June so let's see if that makes a difference. The only other thing I can think of is dtd more but Dh might have a heart attack 😂
Thanks @PinkFlamingoGirl I'm ok 🙂 how are you doing?
Thanks @gypsywater! When you due on/testing?
Thanks @Twinkletoes85! Testing soon?

@PinkFlamingoGirl my husband admitted to me the other day (after 12 months of trying) that he didn't actually know what ovulating meant 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bfns suck :( sorry @MrsCOR its such a deflating feeling!! :(

Anyone else around 7dpo as well?

@mrscor sorry about your Bfn it's really tough, hope you're ok

@PinkFlamingoGirl I feel exactly the same. I tried to shield everything from my husband but the lack of communication came to a head this month and I got really upset he wasn't putting any effort in, but he didn't know what days he needed to (I assumed me being "spontaneous" would be most romantic)!! So we had an honest discussion and he said he'd much rather know when my FW is and would prefer to schedule so we can make sure we have the time and we're on the same page...

😔 sorry @MrsCOR it really does suck

@MrsCOR @notyetamumbuttrying hugs

BFN again. AF definitely going to arrive I think!

@gypsywater thanks. The only symptoms I have are mild cramps after af, only really happened this month, old Dr Google does make you think the worst though!!

@PinkFlamingoGirl yea I'm hoping it's just my body adjusting but I've been off pill 7 months now, only past 2 cycles have felt normal, hoping it's just that

(I had been seeing the gynae for something else)

@Aokbaby I didnt have any symptoms actually (did have extremely painful periods for a couple of years in my late teens tho, but might be unrelated) - the gynae suspected it as my uterus was (is?) severely retroflexed (as well as retroverted) and he thought it could be endometriosis pulling it into position. He was right. I recall him saying it was relatively mild endo and he suggested that I go on the Pill afterwards to reduce likelihood of it returning but stupidly I didnt as I didnt fancy hormonal contraception. So praying it hasnt returned!

@gypsywater do you mind if I ask what symptoms you had, if any? Sorry if too personal, just trying to figure out why I'm cramping after af and endometriosis keeps coming up 🙁

@MrsCOR it's such a dilemma isn't it. I'm going to try and hold out as long as I can but I'm already desperate to know

@seafrontsky I'm glad you are doing positive affirmations. I think they really do help (mentally) and you've just reminded me to look over mine and stop panicking. Woooosaaaaaa.

@aokaybaby I haven't but sometimes I wonder about PCOS. Then I talk myself out it as I don't think I have enough or obvious symptoms. It could be my reaction to coming off the pill. I'm not convinced my cycle is normal yet and I've been off it since October last year

Morning everyone! Not sure if I should test or not this morning. Today is the day AF is due, and I started getting cramps yesterday in the evening. I just don't want to waste a test on another bfn! But DH wants me to test....

Aww sorry about bfn @notyetamumbuttrying hope you're ok ❤️

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2016 when having a laproscopy - it was removed there and then. Do worry that it may have come back in that time though so this is something I will ask about if/when see GP.

Just curious have any of you ladies been diagnosed with endometriosis or pcos?

Love to all x

Thanks @DSC1 and @Hoping41 I felt awful but had a zoom chat with my besties and a good night's sleep and feel better. Think all the TTC and lockdown and no childcare for 3 months is getting to me! My kids are wonderful and I love being with them but finding working with them at home so hard. Also My neighbour and good friend is due with her baby this week and I'm nervous I wont react well when she gives birth.

@Hoping41 I hope you're ok. This TTC business is such a burden on us, so much responsibility for it not happening every month it seems. My DH is very understanding and engaged now. I think it has been a slow build up over the 21 months though! He sees that it's better for me to be proactive rather than anxious and getting upset, although I think the seed cycling is beyond him!

@Fifol I had this last month and was told if it happens after sex that's just a bit of final AF being dislodged from the cervix

@PinkFlamingoGirl oh god the toilet fear is real. I hate it and keep it in then when AF comes I'm a mess. I have been doing the positive affirmations this month and feel a bit better about it all.

@notyetamumbuttrying oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's really tough, enjoy the hot water bottles, baths and everything else your not allowed in the tww 💚
Are you going to try anything new in your next cycle?
