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

@sunshineandshowers3
Same we can’t maintain it every day! It gets a bit much after a few days in a row.

Yeah the acupuncture place is literally round the corner so it’s very convenient. My first appointment is on Thursday and I’m really excited 😬

I got carried away googling the other night and started looking in to IVF... genuinely thinking about going to a fertility specialist if this acupuncture doesn’t do the trick as I really would like to know what’s going on! I don’t want to wait another year for the NHS I need some answers.

Have you enjoyed having the normality still going in? Yeah the media make it seem like people are having all this time off but I’m sure it’s not that way at all!

I’ve been working for myself from home for a year now - I was actually just transitioning in to it from an office job when the pandemic started so I’m quite lucky that it’s worked out quite well for me.

Just on the dregs of AF today. Very light one for me too - literally had one heavy day and then barely needed anything the other days but it’s kind of dragged out over 4 days total.

No worries - I think we’re better off on here anyway 😳 if you know what I mean.. x

@MgW1 that makes sense, sending lots of love and hugs xxx

@bubblegeek22
Hi there
Yes not too bad .... just having a break from trying now for a few cycles and then will be back when feeling a bit better , hope your ok xxx

@MgW1 I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing now?xx

@MiniBaker Tried to post that on the other thread but it said it had closed 🤷‍♀️ xx

@MiniBaker I hope DTD every other day is enough...genuinely don’t know how people manage it daily when you’re both working full time! I value sleep and relaxing too much 😂.

Do you have to travel far for the acupuncture or is it close to your house?

Yeah hoping he’s okay. He’s one of those annoying people that’s good at everything (unlike me) so I hope there are no problems his end.

I’ve been at school every day - no real change for me. The media annoy me reporting ‘schools are closed’ we’ve been extremely busy and I’ve had 18 or so out of 30 children in most days.

How’s work for you?

I think I ovulated yesterday so early start of the TWW. Have you finished AF yet? I had another super light period this month 😔 xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking good shout, I’m having time out too! Let’s just chill (and work)

Take care of yourself @BubsNumber2inTheMaking. Wishing you some relaxation along the way

Thx for setting up the march bus @gracie2307. I'll see you over there

I have twinges and bleeding today (Light but brown) sorry if that's TMI). Its Day 18 of my 25 day cycle. and days 8/9 DPO I think. Could be AF or could be implantation bleeding but I feel absolutely normal otherwise.

It's the only time I've ever had the sniff of symptoms...but who knows Trying my best just to carry on and let things go as they will.. I just need to stay away from google!

Hey everyone! I've created a March TTC bus if anyone wants to hop on? Link here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4179043-March-2021-TTC-Bus?watched=1 xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking Hey lovely no worries at all wishing you lots of luck with work and hugs! Always here if you need a chat xx

@Wowthisisreal Once you get the static smiley on CB, ovulation can happen between 24-48 hours once you get the peak smiley I believe so I think you have it covered with the timing 🙂 xx

Hi ladies - does anyone know if when you get the static smile does that count as your O day? Or the day after? Static smile on Friday morning and BD on Friday and Saturday... and had ovulation pains Sat Eve (yesterday). Would that be ok? We had a stressful week so no BD on flashing smiley days (but only started testing on Weds properly). BD on Tuesday.

Not sure I'm a fan of the OPKs - felt way more pressure to BD which didn't help at all. So worried we may have fluffed if this cycle.

@dunkedbiscuit @gracie2307 thank you. I have had a very bad, manipulative relationship previously and can't help but shut down and panic when something happens 😔 feeling better now though 🙂

@RAA852021 I'm 4dpo too and time is definitely dragging! I could be 3dpo not to sure how to work it out

Hi Ladies - Happy Saturday. I'm in the TWW and it is dragging! I'm symptom spotting even though realistically I have zero symptoms and its only 4DPO. Being in lockdown I don't have enough to distract me from all this! OK little moan over ... At least the sun has come out!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking

The acupuncture I think is just supposed to direct the blood to your uterus / ovaries to improve its function and also acupuncture improves the bloods flow around the body as blockages can build up. So I actually had really warm hands and feet when I had it too.

Yes, I just googled it and it doesn’t sound nice but I just would like an answer so if they will let me have it - I’m willing to give it a try.

I had a blood test to check I’m ovulating - so my hormone hormone levels and any thyroid problems or vitamin deficiencies. But only thing that came back a little low was vitamin D so I take a supplement. Rest was normal. Husband has had SA and it came back normal too. So just trying to find out what it is 🤷‍♀️

What is the internal scan? Is that a hysteroscopy? I’m trying to work out the names for stuff 😂

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Oh I’m completely with you my period is mostly light and it really annoys me! Only time I had a heavy period was when I had acupuncture and it was like double as heavy.

Was speaking to my mum today (she’s a nurse) and after the unhelpful GP response she said she has asked her colleague and they said the next step was asking about having Fallopian tubes checked as they could be blocked - I might have to do go private though ... 🤔 not sure?

Just because i’ve not had any MC in the whole time or chemicals or anything not a whiff of a pregnancy.

Anyone know about getting referred for Fallopian tubes checked?

xx

AF here for me too. Roll on the March bus

Sorry AF showed @TolkiensFallow 😞 xx

@TolkiensFallow sorry to hear af is here. I'm 3dpo and going to test at the end of next week I feel that if I test and get bfn I don't feel as disappointed x

I’m out. AF is here. 😭

@organised5 sorry to hear you have to wait another 2 weeks. Don't want to get your hopes up but I had a similar experience with my first child. I had a bleed at 4 and half weeks went to a&E and had a scan in epu the next day. I could see a sac but it was empty, had the long agonising 2 week wait to go back and went back and saw the baby and heartbeat. They said first scan must of been to early for baby to be seen. Also I used pregnancy test still and the lines kept getting darker so I had a feeling my pregnancy was continuing. Hope everything works out for you x
