@KayL1988 nope!! Held it in (the urge not the pee 😂) thank god. Don't know what I'm thinking, think I might be over halfway through the TWW as I've had a short LP recently so I think I always get itchy feet at this point!

Thanks @tangfastic91! At least you have an excuse now 😉

@cyclogoose oh god I'm the same, I have such a sweet tooth! Especially before AF, I am like totally possessed until I get some chocolate 😩 how are you getting on? X

CycloGoose · 19/05/2021 06:41

I'm always a bottomless pit. Total sugar junkie. I'm worried my addiction to the white stuff could be causing me problems! Hope that if you do poas it's the best outcome 💓💓💓

Hoping AF doesn't show for you @minthumbugs! If it helps, I too was a bottomless pit over the weekend and now feel guilty that I consumed so much sugar 😂

KayL1988 · 19/05/2021 05:52

@kaylsd it feels so terrible that you just get given numbers and some standard statements for your to worry about. Glad it's not as doom and gloom as you first worried about though. Hope your Appt goes well today.

@minthumbugs oh that sudden urge!! Did you pee?? Such strong willpower

minthumbugs · 18/05/2021 23:53

Ahhh ladies have an intense and sudden urge to POAS 😂 along with the fact i am a bottomless pit right now I think I can expect to welcome AF tomorrow or Thursday, I'm staying strong and not wasting a test 🙄

CycloGoose · 18/05/2021 20:55

I'm on day 22 and nothing doing @mammaj21 I think sometimes our bodies just do our heads in.

You're right @kaylsd sperm gets completely replaced every 3 months so I'm sure he can make inroads. Plus there'll be other options like sperm washing and stuff. You're gonna get there, I know it! But totally frustrating right now and hope you get properly bumped up the waiting list with a quick referral.

@minthumbugs still nothing! (weak lines)

@kaylsd yes maybe...but would have thought it would have happened by bow or lines would get darker in the lead up at least
I've just read your latest post. Sorry to hear you haven't had the results you were hoping for! I hope they will explain things better for you though and hopefully you will get some help to move forward on your journey 😘

@Tangfastic91 Ahhh congratulations. Sending you lots of love and positive vibes! ✨

minthumbugs · 18/05/2021 19:43

@kaylsd glad it's not all doom and gloom. Sounds really positive that it can be improved. It seems only fair that the men have to pop some pills as well - it's the least they could do! Hope it goes well for you tomorrow. X

kaylsd · 18/05/2021 19:30

[quote justwant2beamum]@kaylsd sorry to hear, I hope you get advice from someone helpful who explains it all and offers practical solutions xxx [/quote]
From what I can gather motality and morphology can be improved as it's normally quantity which is difficult from what dr google says, it's more lifestyle changes & supplements what can help with it so hubs is on board now to join me on the journey of popping pills for the supplement life 💁🏼‍♀️😘

@Tangfastic91 @minthumbugs @cyclogoose @Kitty0389

thank you lovely ladies I've had my moment and I've absorbed the information now thanks to dr google & other bits and bobs, so my hub has lovely amount of quantity but the quality is debated, he is just boarderline for motality at 32% when the guidance states needs to be 32% above but his morphology is 3% and you need it to be 4 and above so going into things with abit more better insight than what the result came out with a shit loads of numbers and the comment of mortality and morphology below range value which scared the life out of me thinking doomsday!

I don't know how helpful tomorrow our GP is the same GP for each other so hoping I can talk about both parties than just me but I'm hoping I can get the ball rolling to be referred in for help once and for all now all our numbers are all back in and looking like we have both male and female contributing factors they've got to take us seriously about these things but I shall let you girls know tomorrow! Once blip backwards than we wouldn't have known without all of this journey but we can tackle anything what comes against us 🤞🏻😘

Kitty0389 · 18/05/2021 16:44

@minthumbugs it's technically not 'abnormal'. 7 day follicular, 14day luteal is the shortest 'normal', but reading about it it sounds like it can still affect ability to conceive.
LH is almost positive today, so it will peak later today or tomorrow, which would put ovulation tomorrow or thursday (CD9 or CD10). I have a 13-14 day luteal, so I think it's still possible.
I'm currently trying not to messed with my cycle, as it's already stabilised from 16-29 days when I came off the pill, to 3 cycles with ovulation CD10-12 (full cycle 23-26days). Sorry that's a bit of an information dump...

minthumbugs · 18/05/2021 16:30

Gosh @Kitty0389 that is short! Have you spoken to docs about it yet? Wonder if there are any supplements aimed at lengthening the follicular phase... Guessing you will have already read about stuff like that, I have no clue! Have you been testing LH? X

Kitty0389 · 18/05/2021 16:20

@Tangfastic91 congratulations!

@kaylsd I'm so sorry to hear that :-( Lets hope they are able to explain a bit better. At least the results came back quickly.

Looking like an even shorter cycle than normal on this end :-( all signs of ovulation tomorrow and I'm only on CD8 :-O. Trying not to let Dr google tell me all the bad things that come with a short follicular phase...

CycloGoose · 18/05/2021 16:15

Oh @kaylsd what a bitch! Sounds like you will get more info at your appt tomorrow which should help identify next steps darling.

Positives are that you've found out (relatively) early in your journey and that there are things which can be done.

Let us know if we can do anything to support xxx

minthumbugs · 18/05/2021 15:58

Awww no @kaylsd, I'm so sorry! Will you get a consultation to discuss it, or is that included in tomorrow's appointment? That really sucks if it's bad news, it's another hurdle but remember it's not impossible to get through. And we are here if you need to rant about it! Xx

Tangfastic91 · 18/05/2021 15:51

@kaylsd so sorry to hear it wasn't the result you were hoping for. I hope there is something that can be done Flowers.

kaylsd · 18/05/2021 15:35

Today I'm not feeling much optimism, just got hubs SA back and may be both contributing factors to our journey from what I can gather, they've not explained the results just shit loads of numbers which is never the best! Doctor google would suggest we have male factor though as a issue..

Ahhh life can be tough sometimes xx

CycloGoose · 18/05/2021 14:26

Awww wow @Tangfastic91 congratulations! I'm so happy for you. What nice news to come on to this morning! You must be delighted.

Hopefully much more good news to follow ✨

Tangfastic91 · 18/05/2021 08:30

Thanks everyone! This message board is honestly a life saver, just being able to tell someone when you can't tell family/friends etc is doing wonders for my state of mind. I wish you all the luck and success on your TTC journeys. If you don't mind I'll stick around and see how everyone gets on. Baby dust to all!

Purpleshoes123 · 18/05/2021 08:03
