TTC - thread 3! A luckier one!!!

Thanks SRyellow - bloody awful having a sweet tooth x

@bwfcchick88 that’s great news hormones are all normal. I definitely am one for too much sugar too X

So confused CD7 and seem to have two lines on the ovulation sticks, my first time using them today but looks like two lines to me, surely must be too early for a high reading

Hey ladies, I hope you are all having a happy Monday (hate that bloody phrase). So I had my telephone consultation with my doctor this morning and all of my hormone levels were normal (which I'm massively relieved about) but my blood sugar is a bit high. He just said that I needed to work on getting it down and told me to monitor my periods and ring back if it happens again. I spoke to the practice nurse who gave me a few tips on diet (must stop drinking sugar in my tea!) and said they'd be happy to do another blood test on me in a year, but that I should probably return again in 6 months. My blood sugar has increased since my last lot of bloods 5 years ago (which were normal - mad considering I was mega stressed out) so I do need to watch it. Apparently apples and cordial can cause high blood sugar, and vitamin drinks as well?! Anyway, I'm relieved my hormones are normal and that I actually know so I can do something about it! Fingers crossed we all get our BFPs soon, especially for those in the TWW or currently ovulating xxx

@AnxiousAnnie86 eeeek I'm sooooo keeping my fingers crossed for you my lovely 🤞🏻 you've waited long enough, I really hope this is your time 🙏🏼
I'm still here ladies, I'm just lurking in the background 🙋‍♀️ ive gone off the radar as just taking a step back, but still reading all your comments 👀😬x

@WaitingForEgg I know exactly how you feel and I thought the same. So hard not to feel jealous/ upset at other people and how quick they may conceive- although you see fb / social media posts and you rarely know the stories behind them. But just think when the time comes we know our little babies will be sooo worth it!!

Sorry been a bit quiet, I'm away for a weekend in Whitby. A well needed relax!!
@AnxiousAnnie86 very strange about such positive OPKs... did I hear you say you may test tomorrow if AF doesn't show? 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽😆😆

Sorry to hear you aren't having the best time @TheOrangeMonster , but I think it's good to switch off like you say!! Speak soon and let's hope we al have some luck coming our way xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 that’s a very good way to think about it

@AnxiousAnnie86 what tests do you have?? Some can detect really early can they not? .....its only a couple more days to wait (i know, i say only but it feels like years) .....couldn't be ovulation that is causing the positives could it surely....ive never used opks so i have no idea how accurate or inaccurate they can be in this situation but i have heard of people getting positives then getting a BFP on a test🤷‍♀️. Aaaah i don't know. Maybe just see what happens in the morning...

@TheOrangeMonster I’m feeling the same. I know this is a TTC thread so I’m being unfair, but someone joining and getting PG first cycle has really saddened me. I’m so fed up with people finding it so easy, while I’m constantly being asked when we will be having one

@AnxiousAnnie86 there’s not paperclip at all. It’s like a cloud of purple and the line is underneath. I did another test but it’s negative so will wait to see if period comes now.
After a conversation with my OH we have decided not to track anything now. Not even periods I’ve deleted all apps then there will be no pressure on us cos the BFNs really hit us hard. Xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 you could do a FRER? Otherwise you'll obsess over whether the OPK means anything. At 13dpo a FRER will be accurate.
I really hope you finally caught.

Hi @Redfoot89 abs @TTCagainHOPEFUL

Guys I need to take a break from here again, the resentment demon is getting worse so I need to log off for a bit.

Fingers crossed for everyone, I'll be back next cycle with whatever news there is. In the meantime good luck!

@AnxiousAnnie86 so I went back to the test I did this morning ( I know you shouldn’t go back to them) but there’s a faint line. The test is still wet so could it still be an evaporation line? When I did the test, it took a long time for the urine to go up to the control panel - longer than usual. Now there’s like a pink clouding on the test panel and that’s over the line. I got inspired by you and did an OPK and there’s a line but it’s not faint and it’s not solid. It’s in between I don’t know how to post a picture or I would

@AnxiousAnnie86 I’ll get some then Thankyou.
Fingers crossed for you! Xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 shall I get some vitamin D as well as taking pregnacare too?

@TTCagainHOPEFUL i feel that way already and we have only just started. One minute im all chilled about it and the next im checking my tracking app and counting days etc trying to hard to relax about it all but as you say, its super hard if not impossible to relax about something that you want so bad!!
