Thoughts please? 😣

@galatea098 I finally ovulated last Thursday so 6DPO now. I guess my little breakdown was heavy induced PMS 😂 I've calmed down now. Will ring and book my test when AF shows. Glad to be moving forward! Best of luck with your new cycle! It always seems like a chore to get started and then we become utterly drawn in and obsessed lol

If my temps weren't so low I'd actually take a pregnancy test especially since my last period came at 8DPO which is early for me, usually my LP is 15/16. Absolutely hate all this. I'm in work feeling so emotional and exhausted.

@galatea098 we focused our energy on home decorating last lockdown too! So glad we did because we'd be putting it off for about a year haha. Yeah, I'm still in complete limbo. Was certain I'd see a big rise this morning because I feel dreadful, lower back ache and a pain low in my tummy to the right especially when I bend and lots of ewcm. But alas, still nothing!

@galatea098 between 30 and 35 they recommend you contact your GP after a year of trying but it can also take the average person up to 2 years to fall pregnant, so even for a 'normal' reproductive system it all comes down to luck in the end! Just keep going with what you're doing and know there's the option of investigating in a few months if needs be but fingers crossed you won't need it 💕

@Overlyanxious I definitely think I'm just stressing myself out. My due date would have been the start of December and I had visions of being pregnant again by then. I have EWCM again yesterday and today and low back pain and my temp dipped to 35.96 so maybe today is finally the day 🙄

@Overlyanxious I have done last year every month for 6 months. Just this cycle it seems I'm going to ovulate late or not at all

@galatea098 aww thank you! Some days I don't feel so strong and want to give in. Really struggling to hold it together these past 2 cycles but I think that's my own fault for putting pressure on myself to be pregnant again by the time my due date comes along to lessen the blow. How long have you been trying?

@galatea098 so my story is a bit different because I'm overweight. I initially mentioned it about 4 years ago to my GP but they brushed it off and gynaecology fobbed me off with pills and mirena coil for my pain over anything I mentioned to do with conception (I have pcos and endo). January 2018 I'd had enough of putting hormones in my body to pacify my pain etc and told myself I'd have to suck it up if I ever want to become a mum. GP referred me to gynae again but warned me they wouldn't do anything and sure enough my gynaecologist said they couldn't offer me any help. I lost 4 stone between March 2019 and August 2019 and GP was confident they'd see me now. My periods were irregular until July 2019 and by October I was ovulating again, GP had done bloods every month until this point. Seen a consultant in November who done some more tests and then referred me for an HSG and I just had to phone radiology when I got my next period to arrange an appointment for it. But my dad passed away in October so my mind was all over the place and didn't contact them then and decided in February I'd ring on my next period to get it done but that period never came as I'd fallen pregnant. February 2020 was the 2 year TTC mark for me so all in all 25 months of trying before I managed to conceive! I wish I had a more positive story for you but mine is definitely not the norm, I have pcos and endo against me. From the age of 18 when I was diagnosed with PCOS they told me there was 95% I'd never get pregnant.. But I managed it and hopefully I'll manage it again 🤞

@galatea098 gah! So sorry. It's good to have the attitude of seeing a positive to the situation though. Onwards and upwards 🤞
Nothing to report here, still no rise. I feel like I'm in my luteal phase though. Feeling rough, headachy, nauseous, all things I usually get PMS wise so I'm losing the plot thinking if my BBT is wrong or the thermometer batteries are low etc 😂

Hey @galatea098, any sign of AF?

@galatea098 I'm sorry 😔 it sucks when you know your body so well and have to just wait it out

Hiya @galatea098 sorry, I never got a notification for your reply for some reason! Yes the spotting and cramps stopped so all in all 3 days of some spotting upon wiping with some cramps but no indication of ovulation. Your chart looked promising though, did it stay raised?
Yesterday I got a letter for my HSG so I'm not too bothered now this cycle, I'm happy to be moving in the right direction for some possible answers! I was waiting for AF end of Feb/March to get my HSG then but fell pregnant and I was told after my miscarriage I'd have to wait until a year after falling pregnant before investigating started again so really chuffed that doesn't seem to be the case 🤞
