TTC Thread #3

Thanks everyone for well wishes. Now I'm on day two of worrying about what's going on in there

Good luck on the tests @acaciabluebell @Tofu35 X

@Tofu35 That's brilliant! How long did you wait overall to get your appt at the fertility clinic? I'm expecting to wait another year tbh 😣

@Daffodil21 Do you mean like the day after? Or do you mean if I get signs of ovulation on another day then I book another test?

@acaciabluebell woohoo for getting those tests booked in! You better buy a lottery ticket as well, you're on a lucky streak :)

Its the NHS one, I paid for a private test in the meantime (just before Christmas) to hopefully speed things along so I think the march appointment will be discussing all test results and talking about next steps.

I can't believe but I've actually managed to book Day 3 and Day 21 bloods for this month., wohoo! The GP receptionist didn't even make a fuss either, unlike the one I spoke to last month who I basically had to beg, and then ended up being cancelled it anyway.

Anyway, it's all guesswork for me this month! I wasn't tracking, and then noticed I had a fair bit EWCM but no usual ovulation cramps which confused me. I did a OPK randomly yesterday and got a strong line. Today there's barely a second line so can only assume I've ovulated. I haven't used OPKs in months as my ovulation cramps have been so regular. Hopefully the dates I've booked will be the right dates! I've also registered DH with my GP so we can book his SA too.

@Daffodil21 I hope everything goes smoothly on Wednesday. It must be difficult feeling so anxious.

@Tofu35 Good luck for this cycle hopefully this will be the one!! Is the fertility clinic a private one or NHS?

Congratulations @CEW19 😍😍

CD2 for me. Another month, another possibility :) husband has another SA booked in next month, and then it's a couple's phone consultation with the fertility clinic in March. Good to have some dates in the diary!

@CEW19 congratulations!!! Lovely line there!
@Daffodil21 I'm so pleased that things are going well for you 😊

@Bramleyapples13 and @Tofu35 how are you both doing?

Who else is left now without a BFP?

Congratulations! Lovely news!

That is wonderful news @cew19, looks like you won't need those acupuncture sessions after all!

@Daffodil21 not and inkling at all! Last couple of months I’ve been spotting from around cd26 and this month nothing. Line came up pretty much as soon as my pee touched it, couldn’t believe my eyes! Came out of the toilet holding it in shock as my dh was coming out the bedroom. Now we’re just sitting here wondering what to do next and how we’re supposed to be reacting 😂 Will do another one in a min to make sure. Now what?! Lol

So, I’m now on cd29, AF didn’t show yesterday. Just took a test and . . . !!

Hello @Ttcsummer just come across your post on here! I'm also 27 and TTC #1. Came off the depo in Dec 2019, AF made a comeback in June 2020 and am still trying so about the same length as you. I could really do with some support as we're trying to keep it relaxed at the moment and haven't really told anyone to try and prevent any pressure of others getting excited.. would love to stay in contact and support one another on this journey. Fingers crossed 2021 is our year! 🙏

@Bramleyapples13 yes she specialises in fertility acupuncture. She just asked loads of questions about my cycle, diet and exercise, sleep, stress, some questions about husband. She’ll start off next week with a taster session, said she’d recommend 4 weeks before pinpointing different stages of my cycle.

As expected, AF is definitely on the way and probs here by tomorrow which will be CD28. So another 10 day luteal phase.

Everyone else ok? X

Fantastic news @Daffodil21 🤗 I find it incredible how quickly little beans develop to even have noses at this stage.

@CEW19 have you gone to a fertility acupuncturist? I've been wanting to try it for a while but not just for fertility.

Good luck with the acupuncturist @cew19! I've started doing yoga with adrienne again, lots of talk about mindful breathing and letting go of worries. I do always feel calmer after doing it, so hopefully it will give me some good vibes going into this new month :)

@Daffodil21 so pleased to hear everything is still looking good in there!

I just had a consultation with an acupuncturist and booked an appointment for next Wednesday. So interesting some of the things she was saying around the importance of sleep and just shutting off and not letting TTC consume you (yeah right!). Going to try and leave my phone downstairs so I go to sleep straight away and doing a bit of meditation to break my thought process. AF due this weekend but pretty sure nothings happened again this month.

Ooh @Daffodil21 that's great, got my fingers crossed for you!

@acaciabluebell welcome back (sadly), I think it's perfectly reasonable to take a break if you need too - to stop it taking over your life!

Glad you could hear the heartbeat and things are starting to take shape @daffodil21! ♥️
