TTC May/June - may the eggs be ever in your favour

Oh no @kaylsd that sucks!! you just want someone to be magic and tell you its all going to be ok dont you?

Two years ago i got food poisoning so ended up kind of missing a few pills and ended up pregnant (ended in MC sadly - blame myself as i had no idea i was pregnant as i didnt have periods at the time and was being a bit reckless). But yet now i am actually trying...NOTHING!

ive never looked into PCOS for myself to be honest. How long after coming off of the pill did you decide to go for the scan? Perhaps something i will have to consider later down the line!

Good luck for Weds please let us know how it goes!

It took around 5 week for breakthrough bleed then had 2 normal cycles post pill which I thought smashing just what I expected! Then my cycle went abit wapp and it lasted 77 days 😩😩😩 so I rang GP they said similar, can take up to a year for pill to be out of system for your body to be considered as fertile come back in a year, so my cycle returned back for normal for another 2 then bammmm nothing again! Went to GP then they wouldn't touch me said come back in a year it'll come on it's own so I thought bugger this waiting around somethings got to be wrong.. paid for a private ultrasound indicates PCOS went back to GP who then started to take me seriously various bloods later, I have a consultation on Wednesday to get referred into fertility help for me & hub as were verging on 9 month TTC 🤓

Hi all !

Hope you are all well?

Fingers crossed @Tangfastic91 that it is just a bit early - i have everything crossed for you!

Im feeling super down today. Dr just told me it can take a year for me to be fertile?! I came off cerazette in late Feb and only had a withdrawal bleed since then. Getting a bit desperate for my body to just DO SOMETHING! I dont know whether it is worth trying to track ovulation as ive never done that before?

Hi all, hope everyone is well. BFN for me today (10DPO) with a cheap strip. Decided to wait now and see if AF is late (Tue/Wed) before testing again - I just really don't think it's worked this month! Geared up mentally for cycle 2. Have great weekends everyone :)

Hey ladies can I jump on this one? Was on the last thread but dropped off mn a bit, having a mental time with work! Hope everyone is all good ✨✨ baby dust

@kaylsd @CycloGoose
Thanks so much, I hope he doesn’t get stage fright 😬.
Hope you’re all doing well and looking forward to the weekend 😊

@minthumbugs deffo was strange innings of how I found out about her ICSI journey! Hope your okay sweetheart :)! Hows things over at your end, are you enjoying the track free stress life? X

@Kitty0389 good luck with your other half's SA today hopefully it goes smooth as can be under circumstances 😘

Had the worst day at work ever today so sorry for being so quiet! One more to go and then the weekend off where I'm having a bbq with some of the girls so I'm hoping the weather holds off!

I had a text from the doctor to make an appointment as some of my bloods have come back abnormal, from what I see they are looking at my AMH? Even though it's at 52 which I thought was normal for my age? But apparently dr google says to me anything above 48 can be considered as higher than normal range and can indiciate.. you guessed it.. PCOS, my bloody ovaries strike once again 😂😂😂😩

but then another website says anything above 53 is higher than normal so haven't the foggiest 🙃 but I have my consultation with my GP next Wednesday at 2 so hoping by then hubs sample is back and they can finally refer us in for help! 🤞🏻

@MammaJ21 sorry I have literally no idea! Absolutely rubbish with apps and tracking 🤦‍♀️ hope someone can help. X

Evening ladies.

Welcome to the newbies.

so I thought I had posted on here this morning a big old post...but I've lost it. (Apologies if I double up and it is actually on here somewhere!)

Just asking for some help with prenom. I keep getting '0' but the line is darker than before.

After a few triesi do then get a reading , but I would expect the level to be higher than what it's saying.

I've tried moving to diff locations etc to work out where's best for the photo. Just finding it a bit confussing. the lines definitely darker than before but still a low reading

I also used the sam strip a minute apart and got a higher reading the second time (line was same darkness both times in real life) Wish you could delete the 0 results (or can you?)

Fab @Purpleshoes123! I will be somewhere around the same as you then in the TWW I think and there are a few others probably around this stage in the cycle too. Can't say you're not dedicated! Wow, didn't know that about the sperm. If he's otherwise fit and healthy hopefully it doesn't affect any quality. X

@PositiveVibes89 almost halfway through the first week then! Woop woop! Hopefully you won't be needing the tests. Honestly I don't know where I would be without this forum. I've been a lurker from when my LO was born - I was constantly reading through old threads for every single thing and I've finally committed now this time TTC. It's honestly a god send when you don't have people in the same situation in real life, and some girl chat is necessary as OHs just don't get it!

That's great @kaylsd, perks of you being able to get on and see when results come in. What a coincidence! That must have been so nice to have heard a positive story - surely it's fate finding out about that today?!

In my hippy dippy fate-esque type news, was out a walk this morning with doggo and a squirrel ran right across my path (squirrels were my sign!). The dog nearly pulled me off my feet but I was happy to see it

@kaylsd thank you for your lovely message. Yes I don’t give him much sympathy to be honest especially when it’s my FW and he’s got a job to do!

Thanks @PositiveVibes89 😊

[quote minthumbugs]@lunalove14 my partner is the same, I have the CB OPKs but I don't tell him about it (or the price) 🙈 I'm having a break from them this month, when I used them for the first time I got really stressed about it. While you wait on your cycles returning to normal just take them with a pinch of salt! They are good for being really easy to use and clear though 😊

I'm glad you're feeling better @kaylsd! Haha your dreams are so crazy 🤣 when will you get the results back from today?

@Tangfastic91 there's always a silver lining! I think when you have things coming up you have it hanging over your head thinking oh how would I hide it, would I tell people, would I enjoy it etc and it can be quite stressful before it's even happened! I'm so bad for planning out dates in my head during the TWW 😩 hopefully it's a BFP and you enjoy all the events, best of both worlds 🤞🏻

Omg thank god you talked him out of that @Kitty0389, what was he thinking 🤦‍♀️ ahhh sorry AF is so tough just now. They are the worst pains ever, give yourself a wee break from all the work with comfy jammies, hot water bottle and some chocolate! Hope the extension work is going well, definitely an amazing project to put all your energy into and TTC can be less stressful if you're not thinking about it as much.

Hi @Purpleshoes123! Oh no, sorry to hear your OH hasn't been well. Was that during your FW, what point are you at in your cycle? We've had a fair few BFPs on this thread, but none so far this month I don't think. Maybe you can take one for the team? 🤣 Good luck ✨

Hi @PositiveVibes89 the more the merrier. I'm trying for #2 (4th pregnancy) but never fully got into tracking before either, so this year has been a learning curve for me. There are so many people who can keep you right! What day of your cycle are you on? Baby dust ✨✨[/quote]
@Kitty0389 everything went well darling from what I gather! I actually had a chuckle to myself for the time period of it all but needs must ;) I advised hub to take his headphones with him which said was useful as the room was next to the Reception desk at the hospital and he could hear everyone walking by 🙈 but all in all no problems he said he didn't know why he was so nervous when it's hardly anything to worry about the actual process and now we wait for results :)!

@minthumbugs everything went smooth as can be chicken! Looking at 5-10 days for results, I'll just stalk the system everyday and when I see the report present I'll tell hub to ring up in and get his results 🤞🏻🙃

I posted a funny vid on Snapchat story of this lady trying to park up at hospital and one of my friends inboxed me saying that hospital gives me bad memories from when her husband had to do his sperm sample there in a private room my face was like 😳😳😳 that's what my hubs doing right now! Turns out she had her baby girl recently through ICSI :')! Just shows how infertility is affected by so many just little talk about it ✨

Thanks @minthumbugs
I think I am 4dpo (but I could be wrong)

It is nice to talk to people that are in the same boat 

@Purpleshoes123 that is interesting, I didn't even think about the effect illness would have once they feel better. Fingers crossed all is good though

I just accidentally ordered some CB ovulation tests and pregnancy tests. I blame the Amazon one click button!

I am so shocked by the amount of time I have spent on Mumsnet

@Tangfastic91 8 years not days 😂🙈🙈

@Tangfastic91 ah don't worry about the inlaws they'll never change, luckily I married their son and not the family and that's the bit I always remember, kinda got used to their ways now after 8 days :')

Hi @minthumbugs think I’m ovulating today according to OPK and CM but I’m quite new to tracking so don’t know how accurate I am. Anyway bd every other day since Thursday and I’m going to try and convince him to do it tonight but he’s still not feeling that good so he’s exhausted afterwards 😂 He started with fevers the Sunday before we have been bd. I’ve read a lot of stuff saying fevers can affect sperm up to 3 months afterwards but thought there’s no harm trying 🤷🏻‍♀️
