Hello! We are trying for our second child and I am frustrated. I am sure several of you can relate to being frustrated with this whole TTC thing. 😅 Anyways. AF was due 3 days ago and has not shown her ugly face yet. But I have also gotten nothing but negatives (and one invalid). I was planning on not testing again until AF is a week late. Anyone get their BFP that late or even later? I am irregular, so it could just be a late period? I just want to know if I really am pregnant or not, so I can move on! Thanks for any insight you all provide! 😊

@Marvellouslymadmum oh hopefully when they do some scans etc it won’t come down to you having to pay private 🤞🏻 I think sometimes when you get further info from the clinic it helps you relax a little, even tho that’s sounds strange it’s helped me! Good luck!
@lastbany me too, I’m really grateful that I have some answers. Oh fingers crossed for you it’s not nice being in the waiting game is it
I guess I’ll be back in the waiting game soon once I hopefully start to ovulate 😊

lastbany · 15/03/2021 19:39

@HT1335 wow! Don't know if it's me or if tht seems to have gone pretty quick! So glad they have found all this out!! Well I'm 2 days late for AF but hey been there befor 😄😄

Marvellouslymadmum · 15/03/2021 19:39

@HT1335 oh wow three weeks isn't long at all, hopefully it won't be a huge wait here either! Great that you have a high egg reserve too - I did wonder if that fact that you're not ovulating means you have more eggs as they've not been used but I don't know if that's a weird conclusion to come to 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm really looking forward to speaking so someone a bit more in the know, I know we won't be referred for ivf as I'm over the cut off age by a year and we both have children from previous relationships but none together. If it comes to it we would go private it'll just be great to know what's going on! Thank you for you help and keep us updated how you're getting on x

HT1335 · 15/03/2021 19:33

@HJen22 how are you getting on? We had very similar experience of ttc with our timings etc

HT1335 · 15/03/2021 19:31

@Marvellouslymadmum the go didn’t specify which bloods but the nurse said they had done very hormone etc possible then the go rang and said it looks like it not ovulating and have pcos so she referred my partner for sa, which is fine and me to the clinic. I got my fertility clinic app in 3 weeks and had ultrasound and trans vagunal scan confirming pcos plus he talked thru my partners sa. They took bloods for my eggs stores which are high 😅 and I have the scan to test for blockages in my tubes in 2 weeks.. hopefully no blockage so I can start on the clomid and metformin to help me ovulate. He said if that doesn’t work ivf refrrral, j really hope it doesn’t come down to that 🤞🏻
I’m so pleased you got a helpful gp today and I hope you get your clinic appt soon they really explain things and look at all of your options so I feel a lot better about it all now x

Marvellouslymadmum · 15/03/2021 19:22

@HT1335 that's amazing! Brilliant that you're getting the help, thank you, the gp I initially got to do my blood tests turned out to be very unhelpful and when they came back ok this month she was just like well that's it you ovulated this month so no more tests and no help! So I made an appointment with a different one in the practice today and she was so nice, completely understood asked a few questions then said she would happily refer me and refer oh for an sa which the other doc didn't even want to do! So I just have to wait now, was it just the hfc and amh they did with you and did you have to wait long once you'd been referred? I know it's different in different areas but it may give me an idea. I think the pill may have been masking mine too, I don't have every symptom but definitely most x

HT1335 · 15/03/2021 19:11

@Marvellouslymadmum oh that’s good they’ve been amazing with me if you want to ask any questions feel free I’ve had my scans and now I need a hycosy to check my tubes and then hopefully meds to help me ovulate so I should be on those in 2 weeks 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I’m so pleased I got a nice gp who referred me and I’m getting some help 😊 I hope you get some answers!
I have every single symptom of pcos it’s not very pleasant my pill must have been masking everything x

Marvellouslymadmum · 15/03/2021 18:47

@HT1335 thank you 😊 great that you're getting seen now and that there's hope! I am being referred to fertility now too and they will be looking for pcos, I ovulated this month but it's definitely not a regular occurrence

HT1335 · 15/03/2021 18:17

@lastbany I’m here I’m under the fertility clinic now and have a plan I haven’t been ovulating.. very long winded story I do have pcos but there’s hope!!
Oh I hope af doesn’t arrive for you
@Marvellouslymadmum good luck for the next cycle!
@xTinkerbell it’s very frustrating isn’t it
I’ve had no at since November now!
How is everyone else getting on??

Marvellouslymadmum · 15/03/2021 08:40

@xTinkerbell yes that would be my guess too, it drove me crazy when I had the same happen to me I was cd54 when I finally got an answer!

xTinkerbell · 15/03/2021 07:30

@Marvellouslymadmum so frustrating. Not really, I didn’t track the first month. Used OPK’s the second month and had positives cd11 & 12. Used this month from CD 9- CD15 and all negatives. I gave up because I was getting really stressed by then and we have just been DTD every other day anyway.

So now I’m thinking I either ovulated late so period due late or for some reason didn’t ovulate at all. Just want AF to get a move on at this point so I can try again next month

Marvellouslymadmum · 14/03/2021 22:49

I'm still here @lastbany af has arrived today for me - so kind 😂

Hi @xTinkerbell it's frustrating when you're late and don't know why! Have you been tracking ovulation? I know it can take a while for cycles to return to normal after coming off the pill

xTinkerbell · 14/03/2021 17:32

Can I join?

I’m TTC baby number 2. Came off pill mid December... 25 day cycle then 22 day cycle...currently cd30..negative on a one step on cd28 but didn’t use fmu....waiting a few days and if no AF I’ll try again

lastbany · 14/03/2021 15:13

How everyone getting on?? I'm due af any day not tested yet don't ask me how lol

HT1335 · 18/02/2021 19:32

@lastbany oh don’t worry it’s hard to keep track with everyone’s stories! It’s easy to get relaxed about it isn’t it, ttc is hard work!

lastbany · 18/02/2021 19:22

@HT1335 sorry! I get you and the other lady who started with this mixed up as user names similar 🤓 that's good! Least you'll get answers!

HT1335 · 18/02/2021 19:18

@lastbany no my scans to investigate whether or not I have pcos and to hopefully get a treatment plan to see why I’m not getting my positive tests!

lastbany · 18/02/2021 19:14

@HT1335 is it 12 week ones?? Wow gone so quick! Tbh we haven't been trying for about 4/5 months we have been so relaxed about it it's too relaxed! I've now realised if I conceive this month baby be born around daughters 2 nd bday! Which isn't a prob I'm amping up this month fed up now!!

Marvellouslymadmum · 18/02/2021 16:01

@HT1335 definitely! I think I'll start rattling if I keep taking all these different supplements lol

HT1335 · 18/02/2021 15:39

@Marvellouslymadmum yeah I was having a read on Holland and Barrett and it sounds good
So if they say it’s ok I’ll buy some tomorrow it’s worth a try if it helps!

Marvellouslymadmum · 18/02/2021 14:41

@HT1335 that's interesting, I think I've heard someone mention it before too, not sure what you do with it (tea or food or whatever) but may be worth a go!

HT1335 · 18/02/2021 14:21

@Marvellouslymadmum I will do! I’m a bit nervous but I’ll be fine

I was going to post on here someone told me to look into buying maca it can help support fertility, j haven’t bought any yet as waiting for my appt first but it might be worth having a read up on for people? I might ask tmorow if they think I’ll be worthwhile buying some

Marvellouslymadmum · 18/02/2021 13:59

@HT1335 yes definitely! Let us know how you get on

HT1335 · 18/02/2021 13:45

@Marvellouslymadmum thank you! Let’s hope I get a treatment plan and some good news soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Marvellouslymadmum · 18/02/2021 13:37

@HT1335 good luck with your scans!
