TTC after MC - August 2020 (Thread 11)

Thank you everyone. I'm just stressing all the time. It swings in roundabouts. I have days where I'm really positive and then days where I feel like I have no hope. I almost wish I didn't get the tests and I'd be none the wiser 😞

@Firevie I'll attach mine. I never got a high reading before my peak. Keep testing every day. What CD are you?

@VP91x feeling ok today so much better for having a good pamper. Getting ready for next cycle and trying to get these swimmers swimming again 🤞🏻 xx

Pic now attached xx

Ladies I’m confused with my OPKS. I have attached a pic. I was expecting a low still anyway but it looks fainter when every day it should be getting stronger? Any advice? Xx

@VP91x yeah I might do actually. I'm hoping they will do it as they promised me the scan for PCOS anyway, so I'm just going to ask them to hurry that along. Would be good to have a good old root around in there and have someone tell me what's what. Wonder how expensive it is to just pay for one rather than go through private health. I have a £100 excess so I'd be better to just find one I suppose. No idea where to even look xx

@VP91x Thank you! I wish I had taken my temp this morning now - I got a dip yesterday but no peak opk so possibly I had a 'slow dip' like you say yesterday and today. Will see how it is in the morning! How are you? Xx

@MrsK21 @HappyVibes I have plans for next weekend and then I start back at work the week after that for the first time in months so that will keep me occupied. I'm actually dreading it though 😭. I will probably test on the 6th Sep which will be 13/14dpo or may even try and hold out for a couple of days after that if I can. I prefer testing once af is late but it's hard waiting! Xx

@HappyVibes oh that's great that you can be so open! Definitely helps take the pressure off.
I'm seeing my parents over the week for a family thing and because OH and I have a 2 hours drive there and back we can always say I'm not drinking because we've got to drive, so that's fine!
Don't think I'll test till then either but if I make it till then maybe will just wait and see if AF turns up on the 6th and then test if late. I'm sure when it gets to 12DPO all my good intentions will go flying out of the window 😂

@MrsK21 @Northernsoul90 yes I loved that title too haha!

We have things planned for both weekends already with our friends which is good. Now after the MC everyone knows we are trying so there’ll be no need to hide the non alcoholic stuff which is good as there’s no added pressure, everyone just accepts it so no speculation.

I’m going to try and stick to my guns of no testing until 5th September - unless I get very strong PG symptoms (which I did with previous PG via my boob pain).

How about you ladies? Xxx

@Pugprincess hope you manage to make up when he's back x
Three amigos made me laugh too @Northernsoul90 @HappyVibes bring on the TWW- hoping it flies by for us. Do you guys have anything planned over the next couple of weeks to distract? I'm wondering what to do over bank hol Monday - will give me something to stop speculation I hope 🙄

@chloedancer897 I don't know what the levels mean but if there is differing advice online just try to think nothing's changed till you see your specialist who can explain it all. Sometimes it's all about the whole picture as well rather than one number in isolation?

@MichT4 @HappyVibes @Pugprincess Thank you! 3 amigos made me laugh 😂😂

@Pugprincess I'm glad things have been sorted with DH xx

@HappyVibes @MrsK21 Tww buddies!! How strange that we've ovulated so close xx

@chloedancer897 I hope you hear from your fertility clinic soon 🤞🏼sending hugs 💖 xx

@MichT4 he slept on sofa and me in spare room. I think I’m done being angry now. He’s gone football so I’ve messaged him that I’m sorry for being extra angrier than normal. X

@chloedancer897 sorry to hear you having a wobble. I've not had the AMH myself but have seen lots of bits and bobs about it online and as you say it the values range depending where you are looking. Hope you hear from the fertility clinic soon xx

@chloedancer897 I'm sorry you're having a rough time of it 💕

@Pugprincess oh just every month I get a spot in the same place, sort of a cm below my lip on my chin. I always associate it with hormones as it's there every damn month 🙄😂
How are you today? How's things with OH?

@chloedancer897 so sorry you've had a wobbly day. It's good news though that it is a normal range? I remember reading about it only being relevant for during ivf treatment anyway so hopefully it's a positive thing. I guess sometimes you want numbers to fall into the not normal so they do something. You're doing all the right things, how was your Ava sync this morning? xx

@chloedancer897 aw I had that test and I’m sure mine was around that number too. I will dig out my results and let you know.

@MichT4 sorry to hear it’s still messing you around. What is your hormonal spot I haven’t heard about this lol x

@Northernsoul90 hurray for the static 😁 seems none of you 3 amigos were in for a ten day flashy this time 😁👌🏻

Thank you @MichT4, sorry you’re in limbo right now. Hopefully your GP can give you some answers.

@MichT4 I'm so sorry you are still in limbo. I hope the doctor can give you some answers xo

I had a complete meltdown yesterday. My AMH is 12.4. The doctor said it was normal for my age but not to wait too long before considering treatment. I googled last night and some sites said that number is normal, others said it is really low. One study said that AMH doesn't determine infertility but its just helpful to know if you're going for IVF. So I just lost it yesterday and broke down. My husband doesn't know what to be at. I just can't settle myself with it all. I still haven't heard from the fertility clinic and I'm gripping onto this small hope that it'll still happen for me. I'm not even in the TWW yet and I'm already losing the plot

I hope so @2020wish. I have my trusty hormonal spot appearing so I wonder if AF is on her way xx

@MichT4 so annoying lines are still faint and temp still high.. wtf is going on. Fingers crossed u get answers tomorrow xx

@HappyVibes yeah not long to wait hopefully. I can't remember actually but I'm pretty sure it was before CD7. I thought I didn't do OPKs until the test was negative and I did one on CD5. This was counting CD1 as heavy bleeding but I started spotting a week earlier. CD1 was my second blood test at EPU and it was already really low xx

@Northernsoul90 yay to the static!!! Woohoo! So the previous days are all worth it & could be the ones haha. Yippee! Xx
