TTC - Thread 2- a lucky one!

I think I’ve completely missed a period... GP not interested unless I miss 3 (which tbh i expected would be the case)

Thank you for the add @AnxiousAnnie86 😊 much appreciated

@Blossom428 how you doing lovely? Anything yet?

@Trying4one welcome to the group, everyone here is so so lovely and supportive! Xx

@Blossom428 lazy sperm 😂😂 now all I can think of is little fat sperm guys in swimming trunks lying about on sun loungers.

@Blossom428 it's all too much! You'd think I'd of hit it right in the last year! Just by pure chance!!!!

@TheOrangeMonster I think it has to be to do with implantation for me, we have most definitely covered our bases every single month! I don't think I take care of myself in TWW enough, this is what my reflexologist was saying, basically if your body thinks it's under stress or danger it will not accept a pregnancy..... I was super super sick last month on days 7-10 so I'm sure my body wouldn't of taken pregnancy I couldn't stop throwing up x

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'll more than likely just have sex as & when this month, & not put pressure on. Reckon I'm in for the long haul again xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 could be.
We've always assumed that neither of us would be innocent on the problems front. I'm wondering if not going quite as mad as usual might help with the sperm count, whilst at the same time doing it enough to keep them ticking over.
I read somewhere not too long ago that egg meets sperm a lot more often than we think it does, but that the sticking point is implantation, which is something the scientists don't fully understand yet. Apparently there's little receptor things that have to wake up at exactly the right time and they spend a lot of time sitting on their arses missing the bus.
I was bemoaning the design flaws of human reproduction to a sciency friend the other day and he said it's because when we got up on two legs all our internal organs changed so massively it made it all a lot less effective. Maybe I need to start cleaning the floors more often.... 🤣

@TheOrangeMonster I think maybe he's right and will try saving up for peak days!!! Hard to know when it's gonna be with irregular cycles and it seems to come out of the blue! I'm away first weekend in October so you can guarantee it will blooming be then!!!

@WaitingForEgg that's totally happened to me before - I skipped one earlier this year and had a cycle double the length of my standard sort of ones! 🤦🏽‍♀️

@AnxiousAnnie86 in this house we have our roles reversed, husband is the one who says "I have a headache". 😂

@WaitingForEgg I have heard of anovulatory cycles and apparently most women do get them at some point, maybe you could start testing for ovulation daily now? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 usually 31-35 days. I’m thinking I must have not ovulated and I may be skipping a month. This hasn’t happened before that I know of, but I guess it could have without my realising

@Chlo2701 I'm glad it's nearly over for you! Think cysts are very common! Will you leave it a month or start straight over x

Hi ladies, sorry I'm not tagging individually but there's too much to reply to. Thankyou for all thinking of me. I've had my appointment, she scanned me & everything has come away like it should of, so nothing else needs to be done thank god. She said I had a cyst on ovaries but only small so nothing to worry about. Bleeding has nearly finished so now I just have to wait for my period. Back to trying to get pregnant again when everything settles down. Hopefully it'll be quicker than 15months this time 🤞🏻xx

@TheOrangeMonster my temps did that last month!!!! They were so high pre OV!

My husbands come up with our plan of attack this month 😂😂 he thinks we've been doing too much quantity over quality ! He thinks we should be saving it up till I get my peak 🤣🤣🤣 see how long he lasts on that one! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 don't worry about the short period - 3 days is still "normal", even light.
Mine was 6 days as usual but normally I get 3 days of massacre, whereas this time I only got 1.
Temp so far is up and down like the Himalayas, which is unusual - perhaps I've been overheating at night or something. It even went up to 36.28 one day which is WAYYYY high for me pre-ovulation (I'm normally below 36!)
New strategy this month - pretend I don't care! We've only had sex twice since my period, I've actually managed to forget about it all some days, genuinely. I didn't know that was even possible.

Hope you ladies are all enjoying the lovely weather!

@Blossom428 yeah that would be good for you! We might end up with ovulation around same time next month!! I'm about 20 days off ovulation, unless it comes early, which I doubt x

@WaitingForEgg do you normally have regular cycles? I've had cycles that have lasted 60 days in the past! Absolutely awful! X

I’m now cd41. I retested yesterday with a first response and still negative. Tbh I’m really worrying. I don’t know whether to call gp or if they will think I’m losing the plot. But it seems so strange

@Ems2111 sorry just catching up, have you been testing for ovulation for long or is this first month? What do you use to test xx

Hi @Gemster19 - I bit the bullet this morning and tested and AFN ah no haha! Well normally I get symptoms like CM but this last cycle I feel I have no symptoms at all except some aches and pains. I had a fertility blood test at the beginning of the cycle (around 3rd day on 11th aug) which came back normal... so I decided to monitor my ovulation at the time the calculator told me to and I didn’t manage to find my peak. So I’m not so sure when or if I did ovulate! The doctor is going to ring me today but tbh I’m not even sure what I can ask him/her ... if blood tests are ok then what’s the next steps? Good idea not testing and waiting and seeing - that’s probably better than what I’m doing and worrying myself silly! :) when did you start trying? This whole thing seems a lot easier in films and tv doesn’t it haha!

@Blossom428 how's it going how many dpo
now???

@chlo2701 how you feeling? Hopefully the worst has passed for you now and you can try to focus on going forward xxx

@Gemster19 I have gone specifically to help fertility.... she basically said to me that she can tell the stress levels are really high and she thinks that's what is blocking my fertility she was so so good she even knew my period had was ending and I had a headache! She said she couldn't feel anything wrong with ovaries uterus etc but could feel my lungs were an issue / that's related to my anxiety I struggle to get full breaths in sometimes!
I did accupuncture before reflexology but it wasn't relaxing at all, and I think that's what I need to focus on..... so this month I'm all about being calm... (yeah right)

@WaitingForEgg I'm sorry you are still none the wiser, I know how you feel, mine was a 40 day cycle this month and it was killer!!

@TheOrangeMonster hey lovely, hope you are feeling a little better! It got my hard this month too... I really thought this was it and then period came a day late.

My period has only lasted three days and been really light this month so that's worrying me a little!!!
