Feb Bus 2021 - no more TRYING to conceive, let's blimin do this!

Hey everyone hope you are all good? Well AF was 3 days late but it has arrived now in full force 😔 so I'm out. Dont know why but I really thought this cycle would be different. Btw If anyone is interested i do recommend the progesterone online test i got my result back and i got 48.5 which is a good level for day 23 when I took it. Feel quite low now about AF but it is what it is. I found a really inspiring YouTuber called Crystal Conte who was trying for 2.5 years before conceving her first baby naturally (she did have to had ov inducing meds) her TTC vlogs are good.

@MgW1 how are you doing? Really hope AF stays away for you. Good luck with testing later!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking hope you are all good lovely thank you for your message im so grateful to have you guys to speak to especially when weeks are hard.

@Clapham4 Thank you for sharing your story thats such promising news about quick referrals for IVF!

@sunshineandshowers3 Hope you are doing good!

Xxx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking that’s so true! Talking to an actual specialist who is positive is reassuring at least. I’m sure it will happen for you very soon xx

So we got accepted for IVF 😬 I got ahead of myself and went through the NHS hoops for a referral thinking it would take a long time and it only took a few weeks. So I’ve asked can I hold off until the summer as ideally would like to hopefully catch naturally. And as all our fertility tests have come back really good, I feel like IVF is an extreme next step, if one of us had issues I’d go for it in a heartbeat though! The lady I’m speaking with was lovely and said we can hold off a few months. So I am really hoping so so much it happens soon🤞🏼

So if anyone is wondering on wait times for referrals etc. It took about 4 weeks, from bloods to being accepted. Although I had to share our private test results too that we did last year, so that probably sped things up. I’m with the GP at Hand / Babylon service. Xx

That sounds positive @BubsNumber2inTheMaking 💕 Do you feel better for speaking with them? Xx

That’s interesting @BubsNumber2inTheMaking and sounds like they are at least mapping out a way forward in terms of things to test for, etc, how are you feeling about it?

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
I have run out! Will get another today and try in the morning. Still no AF xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I hope the fertility clinic call goes well today

I’m struggling with this TWW it’s just taking soooo long! And lockdown makes it harder doesn’t it as I don’t really have anything else to focus on. I do need to clear out the spare room and decorate it so it can become my DS’s ‘big boy bedroom’ so might just immerse myself in that for the next week!

@PeanuttyButter sorry to hear you’re feeling down tonight! Exactly a nice chilled weekend should help xx

Yaaas @MgW1 could be another late implantation and fingers crossed for some strong line progression 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks @sunshineandshowers3 💕 When does FW start for you?

@bubblegeek22 if I’m out this month I’ll have the same plan as you for next month DTD every goddamn day 💪🏼

Wishing you lots of luck @MgW1 fingers crossed for a sticky bean.

I've been so emotional tonight crying for no real reason. Looking forward to the weekend to just chill and relax

16dpo and late Af ( day 3 ) done a test this eve and the got the worlds faintest line - with colour in under 2 mins! I dont know whether it will lead to anything , more than likely be a chemical at such late stage. Just goes to show that sperm can live a good few days....i need some good luck...🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Xx

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing okay. Seems like I've missed a fair bit!

6Dpo today, got a positive with my Dd2 on 10DPO so those tests are looking like they want to be peed on soon 👀👀

If neg this month we are going to try and DTD for 5 days in a row during my fertile window as this is what worked for us last time! Only managed every other day this month but hoping it was enough 🤞🤞

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Yes my car tyre 🤣 xx

@Clapham4 Go for it! Short of anything catastrophic happening we’re just going to keep trying until it happens. It is exhausting though isn’t it 🙈really don’t know how people manage sometimes more than once a day!

I’m the same and other months I feel like shouting at down there and just pleading with it to work 😂😳.

I feel okay today actually. Went on a nice long walk (nearly 20,000 steps so I’ll take that) and just looking forward to AF being over and trying again. Xx

Well funny you asked @sunshineandshowers3 I decided this morning that we will TTC next month regardless of the wedding 🙈
I had the slightest sore boob earlier and I always get that exactly a week before AF, as an early indicator. I feel like I’m playing mind games with my own body, hoping reverse psychology will trick it into getting pregnant.

How are you doing today?

How’s everyone in the TWW going? Xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Oh yes it will he interesting pls keep me updated as we have both been similar with ttc nearly a year and 2 mc's.
Having a shit day due to a flat tyre changing the plans 😫 think i must he hormonal , irritable and swearing a lot more than usual 🤣 xx

@Clapham4 She sounds very similar to my Mum. My Mum 100% just thinks it’s stress that’s stopping us and nothing more. Just hope she’s ruddy right! 😂

Really hope you get your BFP this month 🤞. Would your brothers wedding really stop you ttc? I’m due to get married next spring and I’m not letting it stop me. DP and I have both said a baby is more of a priority than our wedding...just wish we were married now if I’m honest! Not fussed about a ‘big day’ so to speak.

@Dogmum13 I haven’t used those but we have used the preseed and I’d recommend that. You definitely don’t need a lot though!

Thanks @BubsNumber2inTheMaking - I’m hoping if lockdown is lifted slightly he might be able to go for one. If not, it’ll be a trip to Superdrug 😂.

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday xxx
