@kirinm 😂 I know the feeling!

I've just ordered my partner a home sperm test so hopefully we will have that next week. I did a blood test via medichecks a few months ago and all looked fine on my side so I want to see if we have an issue on the make side now

kirinm · 13/09/2020 08:18

@SS123456 I think I might even though I promised myself I wouldn't 🙈. I don't mind my cycle being a bit longer so if I ovulate in a couple of days that's fine, I just don't like the idea of not knowing. I am n very good at taking a relaxed approach 😂

SS123456 · 13/09/2020 08:15

@kirinm could you order some more on Amazon prime to come tomorrow?

kirinm · 13/09/2020 08:07

CD12 and a negative OPK. Not really sure what's going on now as I would normally have ovulated by now. Kind of regretting being 'relaxed' as I've only got one OPK left and I really don't want to miss it!

SS123456 · 13/09/2020 08:02

@claireb707 🤞🏻 it doesn't take that long 😔

[quote SS123456]@claireb707 it's so horrible being in limbo isn't it 😔. Are you having tests done through the NHS? I don't think they'll assist us as I have a child already[/quote]
Yes, partner had his post SA bloods done on Friday so the referral should be sent off as soon as his results come back early this week.

Really hope it's not too long to be seen as we really don't have age on our side. The max limit for NHS ivf is 42 and I'm 42 in july

@SS123456

Everything is pointing to me being out this month (12th month running now 😩). I'm 12dpo with a BFN (period due tomorrow) and my BBT has dropped a bit this morning. I don't know how much longer I can do this for 😔
I'm there with you 😢 I'm.now 17dpo (I think) cd35 and temps have dropped again.

It's cruel 😢😢 this was cycle 13 so onto 14 I guess. Just hope our sub fertility referral comes quick

@whambam89 Aw you’re in the same boat as me then 😔 It does feel like those 3 months are completely robbed of you doesn’t it? Won’t lie, the third month we weren’t exactly careful 👀 Are you anxious for your due date coming? I’m dreading mine, ours should have been 11th December 😔

whambam89 · 12/09/2020 22:22

@MrsB2019x forgot to tag you in the post below... It's been a long day!

whambam89 · 12/09/2020 22:22

Cycle 4 since we've been allowed to try again (had the methotrexate end of Feb so first cycle we could try again was June), due date was Oct 2nd and it just feels like we've been trying so much longer because of the 3 months we weren't allowed to try! Took us 3 months ish to fall pregnant with the ectopic so also coming up to year of trying (technically)... It's exhausting isn't it 😴

MrsB2019x · 12/09/2020 22:17

@whambam89 This is cycle 4 since, but it took us 5 months trying before the ectopic which doesn’t fill me with much hope! Next month will mark a year of us trying. I think with any kind of loss it’s like dangling it in front of your face which makes you want it more. I’m a lot more like, desperate now than I was before the ectopic if I’m honest 😂 how many cycles has it been for you now?

whambam89 · 12/09/2020 21:04

@MrsB2019x if they're not very sensitive tests then you might not be out yet! How many cycles is it now since your ectopic? I'm wondering how much of an affect methotrexate has on TTC, maybe I'm just being impatient but I feel like I should be pregnant again by now!

MrsB2019x · 12/09/2020 19:49

Also can’t even see it now the pic has been shrunk lol

MrsB2019x · 12/09/2020 19:47

Don’t know why it’s turned it sideways 🙄

MrsB2019x · 12/09/2020 19:46

@kirinm Here’s yesterday’s, I know they’re evaps because they’re thin, grey and come up past the development time. That and there’s been no progression cos I’ve had 2 like this now. At 13dpo I’d think there’d be more now so fairly certain I’m out

whambam89 · 12/09/2020 19:27

@MrsB2019x they might not be evaps! Hopefully AF doesn't show. Still no real symptoms here... My boobs hurt a little I guess, but they always do before AF and I've had a bit more cramping today... Again, have had this before AF previously. Think I'm probably out, can't see me testing until Monday to be honest!

LT103 · 12/09/2020 17:28

@Sansa87 lovely news!!! So so pleased for you. Hope you start to relax and get to enjoy these next few months!!! Hope it all goes well for you

kirinm · 12/09/2020 14:04

I had an extremely negative OPK yesterday and didn't do one this morning as I'd gone to the toilet during the night. For the last couple of months I've got a smiley face on CD10. I'm hoping I ovulate a little later than usual as I'm concerned my eggs aren't having enough time to mature because I've ovulated on CD11 /12 and maybe that's what's behind the 2 chemicals. Anyway, I may try my last OPK tonight or tomorrow.

kirinm · 12/09/2020 14:00

@MrsB2019x how do you know their evaps? Fancy posting a pic!

@Sansa87 fantastic news. So pleased for you. I know it's hard but I hope you're able to relax a bit.

MrsB2019x · 12/09/2020 13:26

@Sansa87 Yaaaaaaayyyyy! 🎉 Get that early scan booked!

@whambam89 Yeah, keep getting evaps on IC. AF due today or tomorrow so think I’m out now 😔 Very proud of you for not testing!! You’re better than I am 🤣

LeopardLover · 12/09/2020 13:13

@Sansa87 Just popping on to say YAY! That's so positive. 😊 Definitely book in an early scan for reassurance! I've been cramping every day since that BFP so that's nothing to worry about. X

Very small drop of temps (like 0.03)

Still no sign of period either

whambam89 · 12/09/2020 12:17

@claireb707 how are you today? Any update on your temps?

@mrsB2019x have you tested again? I've managed to hold off.. 10dpo tomorrow but still not tempted, who am I ?!
