7 months ttc (cont of 6 months ttc)

@twinkltoes85 sorry that AF came. It's always a disappointment. I'm glad you're focussing your energy into next cycle. Hoping that's going to be the one for you xxx

Sorry to hear about AF @Twinkletoes85, always rubbish even if you're expecting it. Best of luck for next cycle.

Does anyone here have a history of endometriosis? I had a laparoscopy in 2016 (for something else) and some endo was found and removed. Bit worried it could have come back since then though no real symptoms.

@Twinkletoes85 So sorry to hear about AF - whilst it is ALWAYS disappointing, at least you already had in your mind that this probably wasn’t your cycle. Takes the sting out ever so slightly. Good to focus on this new cycle and think about what you can do to feel like you’re taking positive steps.

@Twinkletoes85 I'm so sorry about AF! I hope the next cycle is yours 💕

Oh no, sorry @twinkletoes85 I'm sure it's disappointing even though you were expecting it.

I resisted testing this morning.
Good luck to anyone who is testing 🤞🏼

Good luck @MrsCOR 🤞

Some great advice on here
I've just ordered essential oils from doterra. Never heard of some of the stuff on here

@Hoping41 - Wow I had no idea about the antihistamines!!! I'll definitely stop taking them and check online. I rarely take them anyway but the last week I have taken maybe like 2 or 3 when the blocked nose wouldn't budge!

Interesting about the blocked nose as a symptom, especially because I think that description matches exactly what I am experiencing. Although, BFN so far! We will see tomorrow morning!

Here you go - I just googled 'blocked nose a sign of pregnancy'. I've definitely seen other posters mention a bleeding nose too. Signs promising, fingers crossed for you 🤞

If you've got a stuffy nose, it could be another sign that you're possibly pregnant. According to the Mayo Clinic, "increasing hormone levels and blood production can cause the mucous membranes in your nose to swell, dry out and bleed easily. This might cause you to have a stuffy or runny nose."14 Jun 2019

11 Early Symptoms of Pregnancy — How to Know If You're Pregnant

@notyetamumbuttrying - yeah that's what I thought, but I haven't really suffered with hay fever for quite a while. Also have quite a few allergies so usually quite good at picking that up as it affects my asthma as well (particularly cats).

It's more the blood that I am concerned about as I have never had blood come from my nose before!

It is so annoying that every sign could mean either or!

Funnily enough @MrsCOR , I've seen both snuffy nose and bleeding nose being mentioned as early symptoms somewhere. I'll see if I can find it. I've read any antihistamines too, I know you're not advised to take them when ttc but think it's to do with drying up your cv

Could be hay fever @MrsCOR or could be an early symptom! Runny noses are a sign of pregnancy! Mines defo hay fever for me tho.

So this is a weird one that I've tried to google, but can't see that much on this as an early symptom. For the last week or so I've had a really stuffy nose and sneezing lots. Put it down to allergies but antihistamines won't touch it and the only thing that has slightly worked is a nasal spray. Haven't got a cold either and I feel fine in general. But with that I've noticed I have a bloody nose? Never had a nosebleed even as a child so I feel like this is quite unusual for me. Otherwise I haven't really had any symptoms at all this cycle outside the norm.

Thoughts anyone??? Am I clutching at straws??? 🤣

Thanks @jessmcg and @Hoping41 I'll take a look.

Update on stats I'm 38 TTC #3 currently on cycle 21 or 22 (I'm losing count, and possibly hope!)

@seafrontsky I googled the meditation as well. They have a free one on YouTube you can listen to to see if you like it. I know the pack @jessmcg has bought will be much better but it lets you see whether you'd like it.

I’m turning 36 in a few weeks and TTC #2 this is cycle 11.

Welcome @chasingmyrainbow and @Marym1986.

@Chasingmyrainbow I’m so sorry to hear about your MC, I understand how difficult this can be as I also had one when trying for my 1st. I did open up to quite a few friends and they had been through similar and all then went on to have successful pregnancies (including myself). Find some reassurance in that you can get pregnant... fingers crossed this will be your month.

Best of luck to you ladies testing in the next few days, I’m sure some BFPs are on their way

Thank you @jessmcg!! Will take a look now 😊

I'm 33 TTC #1 and on cycle 7 6dpo!

Welcome to our new gals ♥️

Thanks @jessmcg!

Hi @Seafrontsky I bought a 28 day programme that you can use for each cycle. I think it was $50? So around £35? It has helped me a lot so I would say worth it to be honest.

@notyetamumbuttrying @gypsywater Google CARE Fertility - I booked a couples fertility assessment thing at their London branch (Regents Park / Baker Street). They’re meant to be good - reviews look really encouraging!

@jessmcg was the meditation app expensive? It looks good but I'm rubbish with exchange rates! I need something to take my mind off the worries that creep in as AF looms. Started with the doom and gloom today already and I'm only 4DPO! Bloody hormones!

Good luck to all those testing in the next few days and welcome to those joining. This thread is so busy but so supportive!

@Fifol sorry i only just saw your earlier message. I had a hormone blood test around a year ago for them to check something else out and the GP said it'll be good to repeat when we get to a year but it showed much the same stuff they'd test for and said all looked ok. The semen analysis we booked privately, only cost around a hundred pounds so we thought best to get the least intrusive tests done then we know where we stand hope that helps

I'm also in London!
