Hey girls, who'd have thought we would need another thread!

We welcome other long standers as we have all been ttc for quite while! (All of us about 18 months +)

With the greatest respect, if you are new to ttc, this isn't the thread for you as we are all angry and hormonal 😂😂

Gems7 · 30/11/2020 09:27

@Annny27 it's next Tuesday afternoon (8th) dreading it!! I'll let you know how it goes, good luck for this month, we decided it's best not to try because of the procedure xx

Missgoldilocks · 28/11/2020 20:49

@Laur89 Aww that's lovely to hear 🥰 yes I'm feeling pretty sick every day and I'm grateful for it 😂 I'm like yes it's fine give me all the symptoms I can take it I've waited long enough for this lol and I'm really tired so I nap every dya sometimes twice a day 😅 xx

Laur89 · 28/11/2020 20:15

Ohhh exciting @Missgoldilocks!! Have you felt any sickness yet? I'm doing ok thanks, pretty full on with a 2 year old and a newborn though! I'm up most of the night with the newborn, but he's amazing 🥰

Missgoldilocks · 28/11/2020 20:11

Annny27 · 28/11/2020 11:06

Annny27 · 28/11/2020 11:06

Hi ladies :D I got my peak yesterday and today at cd15 and 16 so will probably ovulate overnight tonight, thats usually what happens :)

@Grumpsy @dogmam are you doing opks?

@Missgoldilocks how are you feeling mummy to be? 🥰🥰

@gems7 @PrettyTulip hope you girls are good! Whens your procedure gem? Xx

@Annny27 I’m also back in my fertile week again, taking it easier this month so I’m not expecting much to be honest 🙈

dogmam · 25/11/2020 14:20

Hi @annny27 I am also in my fertile week, trying SMEP this month, currently on CD11!
How is the not using OPK going?! I would like not to use them but it's addictive isn't it!
I still haven't chosen a fertility clinic after my GP referred us, I keep logging on to nhs referrals but then don't end up booking an appointment, I feel like it's such a big decision as whatever we choose now, we could be with them for all treatment to come. I need to just get on with it and book!

Hope everyone's ok.

Annny27 · 25/11/2020 13:45

How are you girls doing? Quiet on here i guess we are all approaching fertile week haha! I am in fertile week now, had some ewcm

OP posts:
Annny27 · 23/11/2020 10:49

Morning :D I am cd11 today had a little bit of watery/ ewcm so I think fertile week has started. I am not doing LH tests this month- I am trying to be less obsessed haha 🤣

@missgoldilocks scan before Christmas sounds good and at 8/9 weeks you should be able to see a fair bit :D

That's interesting about the self insemination! Tmi but when we had sex on Friday I bled a bit after (there was a small cut near the entrance) and then it hurt last night as well so I think maybe I need a few days off from dtd for the little nick to heal but as I am in fertile week I dont want to miss out so maybe the self insemination will be ideal for this scenario.

@Gems7 yeah I would also assume you should have to not ttc but might be worth asking the nurse or doctor to ask as tou don't want to miss a month if you don't need to!

@dogmam mmm I didnt have a choice it was just our local hospital. Maybe look at the reviews and see which one is best!

@Grumpsy ahh thats interesting having a lighter AF! Yeah might be some.of the.blood already came out in the spotting

OP posts:
Gems7 · 23/11/2020 08:08

@Annny27 I presumed not.. but nobody has told me anything, I've just had appointment letters through the post.. 😕
My apt is 2 days after ovulation.. so wouldn't technically be pregnant then anyway but I'm still thinking maybe it's not a good idea to try? I'm confused. Xx

Grumpsy · 22/11/2020 19:47

@Annny27 yep AF only lasted 3 days, usually ages 4-5. I’m assuming it’s from all the mid cycle spotting / bleeding

Missgoldilocks · 22/11/2020 15:37

@dogmam thank you! We are and still in shock I just couldn't believe it when those two lines come up I just about cried. This month I just did not care about trying I'm sorry I know that's probably not the best to hear but we actually dtd on the Saturday and I either ovulated Tuesday or Wednesday. We also did self insemination Monday and Tuesday because we are at our wits end of having baby sex. But I had ewcm on Saturday and that was it! I stopped taking vitamins and everything I just lost all hope! So maybe it really was the pressure I was putting myself under who knows.
In regards to clinics I'd look up reviews on them and see who has the best ones and look up the head of the department etc xx

dogmam · 22/11/2020 14:53

@missgoldilocks huge congratulations I bet you are on cloud 9!! Did you do anything different this month that might have helped things along? Best early Christmas present ever!

I got a letter through the post yesterday, it was an e-referral for the fertility clinic so I logged in and there's 5 clinics to choose from, all with similar waiting times so not sure which to choose from. Any advice?

Missgoldilocks · 22/11/2020 09:55

@anny27 I'm trying to persuade my OH to get one the week before Christmas I'll be 9 weeks then and at least we will be able to see everything is okay. I'm sure he will lol. Symptoms, I keep waking up in the night to go toilet, my boobs are fine just super veiny and my belly hurts but not crampy just like full and I'm constipated. But when I was around 10-13dpo I thought it was because my period was coming but obvi not I was sooooo windy like I was in so much pain with wind! Also diarrhoea! Weird haha but constipated now. Good luck for this cycle xx

Annny27 · 22/11/2020 09:50

I am cd10 today and I reckon it might be a slightly delayed ovulation as I have 0 signs so far and usually it has started ewcm by this point

Amazing :D @Missgoldilocks are you going to get an early scan? Well we are all rooting for a healthy baby for you!! Have you had any symptoms yet?

@Grumpsy has AF ended now?

@PrettyTulip any closer to getting prescribed ovulation help?

@gems7 thankfully its not too long to wait untill your procedure! So you have to not ttc this month ahead of it?

OP posts:
Missgoldilocks · 21/11/2020 17:32

@grumpsy thank you, you will get there!! When you're in it you don't think you will I know but you will xx

@PrettyTulip thank you lovely hope you're doing okay xxx

@anny27 ahh me and oh have been in shock all day honestly just amazing so so happy and praying it's a sticky bean I felt absolutely normal as every other month except I craved milkshakes and it made me think hmm I wonder lol. I wanted a may or July baby and apparently it will be a July baby but it might be August I honestly don't mind anymore lol xx

You are all gonna get there 100 percent xxxxx

Grumpsy · 21/11/2020 17:20
