Feb Bus Pt 3

@paintfairy Hey. It's so bizarre to me your spotting a few days before AF. I've never had that ever - but it seems quite common.

This is AF for sure. It's like a normal period, so I will start round 3 of Clomid tonight since this will be CD2.

My cycle was 25 days long, exact same as last month. I'm glad it's regular, and fairly sure I'm ovulating now thanks to Clomid but I'm still concerned about the short cycle. At same time, I'm not sure I want to mess around with supplements to try and extend cycle whilst I'm on Clomid. I'm not sure how long LP is as I've not tracked ovulation. Maybe I should track it this cycle with OPKs?

Re your trapped wind - I suffer with that a lot and have for years (I have IBD). I find lying on the ground with legs bent, feet on floor and raise bum off ground slowly, up and down, helps sometimes. Also, standing with arms straight above head and then bending hips to right, then left, also helps 😂😂

@MimiArm any update?

Tiny bit of spotting for me today. I reckon I'm due AF on Tuesday so I've definitely done well this month for me! Still terrible trapped wind though. 😩

@MimiArm is it proper bleeding? Like AF bleeding? And yes you have been waiting 12 months but you weren't ovulating? So you are almost starting again. Which is frustrating but I think you need to draw a line and kind of start from here? I think you can be optimistic about it and just think- if it doesn't work then you can have ivf. So it doesn't matter anyway. Don't stress. Just enjoy dtd and the free time before ivf starts. I personally think if you get hung up on it, it does affect you. Try to chill. 😚

@paintfairy I'm assuming the blood means I'm out. Plus, it's day 26 (or day 1) which is same as last cycle to the day. It's month 3 - 1 month of letrozole and 2nd month of Clomid. But still into month 12 now TTC like you ladies so I'm frustrated. I would have been fine had the RHR thing not got me excited for the past few days tbh. Anyways ...

I looked over your blood results. Deffo ovulating so that's good! Hopefully results for second day 2 bloods come back clear too.

@Juno231 fingers crossed for a good result!

@MimiArm well your not out yet? It is only month 1 though? And at least you are ovulating which is fantastic? I've been doing so a year and still can't manage it. 🤣 So it never will be instant. But hopefully it'll work one time for you. Don't panic yet. Keep your fingers crossed!

@Juno231 @paintfairy I'm not hopeful at all tbh. Had cramps all day, and a banging headache, but then I worked about 14 hours yesterday and was doing a presentation all morning today which stressed me out!

I'm a bit down tbh honest now. Boobs are still sore and RHR still high - Why? How? Why does it screw with your head so much! If RHR had dropped over last 2 days, and boob pain went away, I'd be prepared for AF but no !

Pity party over.

@Juno231 if I am not spotting by Monday, I might dare to dream. 🤣 But there's been times I've felt hopeful before because its come later than usual, and it's never amounted to anything. I always feel like the months I ovulate later, I should have more of a shot (more mature egg?) so it makes me feel more optimistic it might happen (one day at least) but who knows.

@MrsTwentyEight yeah you are risking no presents! 🤣 My next one will fall after Xmas so this is my last shot. Although the next one would fall around new year so it could be a new year surprise I guess. 🤣

@Juno231 how much was the amh test in the end? I do wonder if to do one.

@Juno231 no update - CD11 and waiting around for OV window here! Btw 100% agree on the Christmas announcement dream...I've been doing the same 🤣 My DH jokes that he doesn't need to get me a xmas or Bday present if we make it this month as that's the gift - I said YES ANYTHING TO SEE THAT BFP

@Juno231 ovulated CD15 by my calculations. Usually its day 11 (12 if lucky). But I think it was definitely late as I get 3 days minimum spotting each month and I've not had any. I'm on CD 25 so I'd never not be spotting by now. So I'd expect spotting to commence Sunday (if not before). I'm just pleased it hasn't been all the way through this month like the last 2! Does my head in.

@MimiArm fingers crossed its not AF.

@Juno231 I don't have any other results?

I'm cd 25 today. Ordinarily AF would be about due so it's odd for me it's not sure until next week. No spotting still so far. I've stopped the b6 though because of having this other blood test now next week.

Hi girls how do I up load a picture I want to share with you, I don’t know if I’m just imagining ☺️

@Juno231

I was really sure yesterday that this was it - and now today there is red ... 😩 RHR is a load of bollocks I say now. I'm never up this high!

@Juno231 I did think- well at least my thyroid is ok. Even if nothing else is. 🤣
And yeah I thought that as I saw what my friend had done. She'd got prolactin and all sorts?

@Juno231 I know I spent ages looking thinking- how am I even meant to know what's what? Honestly.

Right. Have results. Its confusing because there's no date on anything and several sheets of paper. Some which are repetitive. But I think I've worked out the problem!

It looks like the did the fsh test on the wrong test. So although they can take the progesterone reading from the day 21 test as that's been done both times, the day 2 test they didn't do fsh? Literally sat here ages trying to work out what was what. I'll attach photos.

Update: terrible nights sleep last night. Partly the dog and his issues. But I had awful trapped wind and I also had hot feet/hands. Drove me mad. I do get this sometimes in my LP.

Dr surgery phoned. I'm still confused. Something about wrong order. They want me to repeat the day 2 test (but not the other one?). I've booked it for next week. I did query what would happen if it fell wrong and I needed to change it and she said they had to get me in and I need to tell whoever on the phone to read my notes. She was nice actually. So I'll just go for that and see what happens as I'm still none the bloody wiser as to what the issue is.

The other surgery called- my blood test results i can collect. So I'll fetch those later!
