@Misty84 thanks reassuring, I definitely need to put less pressure on myself.

Hi @LTH1991
I’m 36 and this is my 19th cycle!
I know it’s hard because you want it to happen immediately, but try and remember that up to a year or so is completely normal! I didn’t start getting worried until after that and have been having all my tests done. When I had my internal scan the doctor said there was nothing wrong and it just takes time (especially at my age). She wasn’t fazed at all and said I’m too young for IVF! So I hope that gives you some reassurance x

apwilso · 24/02/2021 07:56

@LTH1991 welcome to the group! this is our 5th as well!

@Tabbycat92 fingers crossed for you xx

Tabbycat92 · 24/02/2021 07:24

@lth1991 welcome to the group :) it's so frustrating isn't it! This is cycle 5 for us too! I'm desperate to be pregnant this month or next to avoid being pregnant for my 30th haha!

Tabbycat92 · 24/02/2021 07:23

Had a sudden temperature drop today at 10 dpo to below cover line. I'm thinking it's either implantation or AF is appearing super early.
Fingers crossed it rises back up again tomorrow!

New to this forum so wanted to introduce myself.

I’m from Cheshire East, just turned 30. Been TTC for 5 cycles. So far have tried tracking app and basal temp. Trying ovulation sticks for the first time this month. Been marriage for 3.5 - will be out first baby. Trying not to get frustrated. Finding it tricky to discuss with friends many who conceived the first time or without trying.

Ovulation is apparently due at some point this week so it's actually worked out for this month. But trying not to symptom spot at all because going with the flow. I legit can't stop weeing today and got a banging headache! Don't let it start and I've not even looked into anything !

apwilso · 23/02/2021 08:17

@Dex1521 cute!!!! Glad everything is all well. I think I'd be the same scan every week if I could😅😅

@dex1521 yeah we are having live appointments too but think it is more around the 9 or 10 week mark . That sounds reassuring and not too expensive either . X

@1992EM aww wow congrats so happy for you! It was £59 at window to womb and honestly I was so thankful for it as it was so reassuring to see it was in the right place and measuring a good size and its little heartbeat. I thought if there was something wrong or if I had of had a mmc I want to know now before 12 weeks. I want another one now but trying to hold off until 12 week scan 🤣. I'd contacted the midwife before I was evening 4 weeks as I found out when I was 3+5 😂 glad I did as where I live appointments are pushed and I need to go in for bloods etc, I'm going on Wednesday for it.

@dex1521 oh how cute is this 🥰 can I ask how much this cost ? I got my BFP last Tuesday and so anxious . Will be 5 weeks on Thursday . I don't no if we will get an early scan yet . I am at the doctors for bloods this week to check my b12 levels . I still haven't contacted the midwife. I told the doctor and they weren't interested didn't tell me what to do so I am hoping they are more helping when I go in x

Hi @laura2093 our doctor called my OH to give him his results. But if you feel like you’re waiting too long there’s no harm in calling up to ask.

Dex1521 · 22/02/2021 19:00

Sorry guys I've not been active I got a new phone and mumsnet logged out so wasn't getting notifications. How is everyone getting on any BFPs yet? I need someone to join me haha

Little update from me I'm 8+2 today had a scan last Monday at 7+1 and was amazing to see a little bean and a strong heartbeat and it's measuring big already they said it might be big one come October 😅 (baby is the penguin shape and yolk sack on the left beside it)

Hello. Sorry have been super quiet this cycle... taking it all in! I think I ovulated over the weekend but with OH's SA today we couldn't do anything about it. Last we DTD was Thursday so.. month off for us. But what it has taught me is that next month I'm bbt-ing and that's it.
Hopefully will get his SA results this week. Anyone know how the doctors inform us?

Hope all is well? Xxx

apwilso · 22/02/2021 07:34

@Misty84 this fun wait!

Misty84 · 21/02/2021 22:15

Fingers crossed @apwilso!
I’m 2dpo so it’s the waiting game now...

apwilso · 21/02/2021 21:36

It's ovulation week now! Due around Friday for ovulation but obviously no testing for me. Boyfriend is working away and coming home Wednesday so going to have to get at it from then onwards! Fingers crossed for me

@1992EM sorry for the late reply! Just been relaxing. Funnily enough I've started doing that over the weekend before seeing the comment. I feel as if it's comfortable for me as well to do that!

@LRW26 sorry about that see you soon xx

Sorry to hear that @LRW26 xx

LRW26 · 20/02/2021 10:55

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all but I’m out as AF appeared this morning... onto cycle 13 we go 😔 I’ll be back in a few weeks but I hope we see some more BFPs 🤞🏻 x

@Tabbycat92 it goes hard and low when AF is due but if not it can rise back up and is soft . You are at prime time for implantation. I am sure I implanted on 6dpo as had spotting which is disregarded at the time.as only happened once . I have everything crossed for you ❤
