@sb12985 I dont get any symptoms either till af actually arrives. And I'm starting to lose faith in my symptom spotting haha. When are you due? Af is due sunday for me. I'd love an extra special fathers day gift ❤

sb12985 · 18/06/2020 23:45

Cramps and boob pain not great tonight. I know these are signs of AF but i don't really get symptoms for AF until it's actually happening and I get a dull ache for the first day and that's it. This is a totally different pain lol

LAG1986 · 18/06/2020 23:23

So this month and last I tried the "checking your cervix" technique, and honestly.... I dont have a clue. What's the difference, and how can you tell if it's hard or soft? X

@kaybobx really interesting thanks for sharing I will check near where to I live to see if we have something similar. Thanks very much something to look into. Let's hope your GP can help you out ASAP

Just started with light brown spotting as expected. I'm not going anywhere though - still everything crossed for you and I'll be on the next thread with anyone who is left!

Kaybobx · 18/06/2020 22:50

www.miracleinprogress.co.uk/ this is the place. I had all my scans here with my first little one.

Kaybobx · 18/06/2020 22:48

@candycrush2298 nope, no symptoms at all. I say private but not a private hospital.. not sure where you live but we have a place that does pregnancy scans, gender reveals, HD scans etc. They also do follicle tracking (its just like ovulation tests but scans that can see when your about to release an egg) thats when the scan showed these polyps which i have then reported to my GP but im still awaiting a call back.

@snapple21 let's hope so!! Fingers and toes and everything else crossed for all us ladies.

@helsbubble17 yeah AF (aunty flow) is periods. Let's hope she stays away from you tomorrow xx mine is supposed to be Saturday(I am mostly 25 day cycle) but my cycle has varied so could start anywhere from tomorrow to Monday.

@Kaybobx wow really did you feel anything was amiss like do your polyps cause any pain? My friend is currently going in privately because she has a huge polyp and hasn't stopped bleeding for months passing huge clots and had to go on some injection which like imitates menopause so that she doesn't bleed until her operation so just wondering if its always pretty severe? If we don't hear anything when things start opening up I am going to start looking at what private options there are. So what is the follicle tracking? What do they do? Does it just check that you are ovulating and for things like polyps/fibroids/endometriosis etc.?

helsbubble17 · 18/06/2020 22:33

My period is due tomorrow Friday. Is that AF?

snapple21 · 18/06/2020 22:31

Soft high cervix sounds positive to me!

Kaybobx · 18/06/2020 22:06

@candycrush2298 a tad similar to me. I went for a blood test then hubby was booked in for March. Covid happened then his test didn't happen. Im not sure where you live but i paid for some private scans (follicle tracking) 3 scans when I'm ovulating to see if my ovaries were growing. I was ovulating fine but they found 2 polyps on my uterus. After Dr Google he said they cause infertility! I got the report sent to my GP but still yet to hear anything. You never know whats going on in there until someone takes a look. Keep pushing for it.

@Kaybobx yeah last year August ( a year and a few months in) we went to the GP had my tests she thought something was a miss went a second time and it was fine I am 100% OK and then hubby was booked for October last year but the doctors were all ill so a lot of rescheduling and then he couldn't get away from work so it was set in stone for April this year and then lock down happened so he is on the priority list as soon as they open up again he will get a letter from the fertility clinic with a new appointment date. So its just a waiting game in the mean time I'm just trying to stay proactive and positive and doing everything we can. Thats why I'm thinking the fertility monitor will be great because we can start inputting data and once his tests come back (which I have a feeling will be perfect) we can show them my cycles and intercourse dates and see where to go from there.

@candycrush2298 have you been to see your GP? 2 years is quite a long time.

candycrush2298 · 18/06/2020 21:02

@Elakiya I know i shouldn't but after 2 years you start grabbing at start straws most people would have lost hope by now but not me no every month regardless of the sheer utter heartbreak every time AF rears her head I cry, dust myself off and try again and then go through the TWW hopeful as ever and I have just kept repeating the cycle. Last month and this month I have convinced myself this is the month. Last months AF was a brutal shock as I wasn't expecting it I really thought we had conceived and if it goes belly up this month then I will be just as distraught as last month. But next month I will be packing more ammo if AF arrives this weekend I will be purchasing a CB fertility monitor and we are going to get this right 💜

@candycrush2298 awww don’t do this to yourself 🥺 symptom spotting just ends up stressing you out. How long have you been trying?

candycrush2298 · 18/06/2020 20:13

Just checked my cervix is still in the exact same position. Hasn't gone higher or lower. And its softer. I havent had a hell of a lot of symptoms of anything this evening. Only indigestion because of constipation sorry TMI but its like my body can't decide if it need to poop, pass gas or burp but that's it and it's probably happening because my body can't decide if I'm starving or got no appetite one minute I am ravenous and eat a meal and then later on I have to force myself to eat something small. Now I'm also starting the second guessing maybe AF is just gonna show up. 😑

@Kaybobx ahhh man well that sucks lol. Will just have to use them in conjuction with others then. Nooooo stay with me no to AF. We have to remain positive.

Kaybobx · 18/06/2020 19:27

Hi @helsbubble17 you most certainly are pregnant! A digital is the last test to detect a postive, plus with the other faint lines. Congratulations!!!! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy Smile

helsbubble17 · 18/06/2020 18:32

I’m hoping the clear blue digital one is correct!!!

helsbubble17 · 18/06/2020 18:31

Hi guys, I have been reading your messages. I’m due tomorrow and have done 5 tests. I’ve had a positive clearblue digital one and have had faint lines on the others. Hope I am

Elakiya · 18/06/2020 17:13

@candycrush2298 @Kaybobx

I think I might pass for tomorrow guys. I don’t have any tests and I am worried about getting my hopes up. Love to see how to goes for all of you though. Good luck I hope it’s 2 lines!!!!

I’ll test on Wednesday if AF doesn’t arrive. Fingers crossed for it not arriving

Kaybobx · 18/06/2020 17:07

@candycrush2298 haha sorry 🙈 that one was 13DPO, i did another at 14DPO which looked the same (same packet, they came as a 2). I also used the cheap strips both days same wee which didn't show anything so went an brought a CB and that also showed nothing. Was definitely the tests ☹

Ive just checked my cervix and its low and hard waaaaaaaaaaaaa 😭 the cow is going to come i just know it!!
I'll still test tomorrow for a laugh.
