Post Pill Party - Cocktail Club

@ChinChilly haha how anticlimactic are we talking? Did they arrange for you to come in and have bloods taken? When's your first scan?

@Lovebug06 ouchie I hope the pupperito is okay!

The dog I'm dog sitting is so badly trained lol! It can't walk on a lead to save its life, barks often but otherwise is a sweetie... Just wish it didnt wake us at 1 am barking at foxes in the street or at 6 am when it heard the neighbours up and about lol. Or barked at the neighbour's daughter, their cat, at our other neighbours over the fence...

Maybe if i get a dog I'll need a basenji!

@AllyCat31 @Tillybabs I stopped going to they gym about 2 weeks ago mainly because I am exhausted and I couldn't think of anything worse. I would say just do what feels best for you.

@Lovebug06 hope your poor pup is ok, I hate seeing my dog in pain, breaks my heart.

I had my booking appointment this morning, felt very strange to have it so early, but it was actually really uneventful, not sure what I expected to be honest 🤣

Yeah, that’s the thing I do powerlifting and weightlifting normally but basically given than you except the first two weeks of my cycle (really enjoyed yesterday’s session) but wondering if I should just still to walks and yoga during the TWW next time. I guess you never know what helps/hinders really

My dog I think has a uti its come on suddenly in like a day or so, and is crying out this morning😢. Been a nightmare trying to get in the vets. Ive been in tears as I feel so awful for him. I'm probably being ridiculous but it's horrible when you can't help! I wonder what I'd be like with a baby 😂

12dpo. Boobs slightest bit tender. Nothing else. The vaccine may have affected things but I've had this before anyway.

Hope you all have a good day!

@Juno231ah ok that’s good to know thanks.

For me personally it’s this thrush issue I have and plus I thought I would try something new and see if it makes a difference.

@Tillybabs oh and no exercise during IVF is due to risk of ovarian torsion! It's because all the stims really mess with your ovaries and make them enlarged. Not a risk during normal TTC.

@AllyCat31 I don't think you need to worry - it's really just hardcore HIIT that perhaps could get in the way - and even then I know lots of women that did crossfit/HIIT whilst TTC all the way through to giving birth!

@AllyCat31 I’m not sure to be honest but I just want to try it.

I do some intense workouts (max an hour a day) and so not sure if it’s having an impact.

I’ve read a bit about it online and studies differ. But one thing I noted if that during an IVF cycle, women are told not to exercise.

Exercise generally is good for our mind and general health so I wouldn’t give up the walking, jogs and light weights as these are moderate.

I’m just going to cut down the intense ones at certain times in the cycle and see if this helps. Also I keep getting recovering thrush since taking antibiotics in Feb and I’ve been reading that exercise doesn’t help! So that’s another reason for me to cut it down.

CD2 as well @Kay00 hoping we can all get some luck!

Do you think reducing exercise helps @Tillybabs I already had massively reduced mine in general but was still doing walks, jogs and light weights during LP ..wondering if I should cut the jogging and weights entirely?

@kay00 ah exciting to get all those balls rolling! Kinda hoping you have something wrong that is easy to fix - isn't that nuts lol. I hate having unexplained infertility.

CD14 and my temp hasn't risen yet after my peak OPK on CD12 so I guess today is the day lol? I'm just surprised cause most cycles I seem to ovulate the same day as my peak, a few the day after but I think it's rare for me to ovulate 2 days after an LH surge. Didn't manage to BD last night as OH was knackered but got some this morning before work so we're still maintaining every other day at least!

@Kay00 @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow @AllyCat31@Gracie2021

We got this! I’m on CD5 now. Sending lots of positive vibes and baby dust 💫

This month I’m going to cut down my workouts around ovulation and implantation time (which I currently do 6 days a week) and see if that makes a difference.

@nellieee, oh wow, what a roller coaster! Congratulations and I really hope this is your sticky little bean xx

I went to my GP this morning to give bloods for Prolactin and Clamidia antibodies. and then to the hospital to give blood for AMH (ovarian reserve). Fingers crossed!

I think i'm going to count yesterday as a light bleed so that makes me CD2. So i'm also joining @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow @AllyCat31 @Tillybabs @Gracie2021 haha! come on ladies! Lets make this out lucky cycle!

Thanks ladies. @MissC07 that acupuncture sounds like a dream! I've heard good things about it, and read lots about staying warm lately. Fingers crossed!!

Congratulations @nellieee what lovely news. Sorry to hear about your earlier loss. X
@missc07 sounds good! I have seen a few good things about acupuncture I am getting tempted!

@nellieee I'm really sorry about the lose, great that you got another BFP so soon after, finger crossed for a sticky one 🤞

@nellieee sorry for your early loss but so happy to hear that you have just got another positive pregnancy test! I really hope this one is a sticky bean x

Hi ladies. First off, congratulations to @ChinChilly and @TheHotelCalifornia!! I hope I haven't missed anyone else off?

Also, loving the opening of the thread, @MissC07!! And the recap DayDreamBelievers

I can see some of you are in various stages with your journeys, with various struggles @TheDaydreamBelievers @Moocher90 @Kay00. I totally understand where you are all coming from. It is a tough, and sometimes lonely, place TTC. Especially in the pandemic when it seems to be the only thing to focus on. @Juno231 how is everything going for you?

@LauraT94 great to hear everything is going well! Really pleased for you.

I went off grid for a while, mainly because I got a BFP, and I appreciate it can be hard seeing others with good news when you are having a hard time. Sadly that ended in a miscarriage at around 6 weeks recently. I didn't update you in this group as I didn't really want to admit it, which sounds silly now. My cycle returned straight away and I O'd (albeit a little late). 10dpo now and, much to my surprise, have got another BFP. I had bright red spotting on Saturday night, and google (🙄) suggested to test two days later as it could be IB. It's all very surreal but I thought I would share. Just hoping this one stays around for the long haul!

@Juno231 they are great after the puppy stage 😂 my dog is usually the one giving me a cuddle when AF comes bless him he can tell I'm sad and sits with me x

So has anyone here had the vaccine and had their cycles messed up? Ive read others now saying their cycles have gone totally weird since so I'm freaking a bit 😭

@TheDaydreamBelievers I’m so sorry and completely understand. It’s sometimes good for us all to have a break from the forums, I definitely do myself. I do hope you get some answers soon and get some help to bring on ovulation xx

@Kay00 I’m glad your procedure went well. That’s so terribly sad about your cousin. You must have been worried at the back of your mind about it. So glad all is well.

AF is still here and I must say my AF symptoms have levelled off a bit. Less pain but still heavy the first couple days. Sorry TMI

Officially cd1 today now, so I'm joining you guys @Gracie2021 @tillybabs @allycat31

@thedaydreambelievers that must be awful. Hopefully you ovulate soon and you can get this cycle over and done (ideally with a bfp at the end)

@kay00 that's amazing news about your appointment, and absolutely awful about your cousin. I can't imagine what your family went through.

@Juno231 Ah that's good! I was promised tonight but I've just been told that he's watching football at a friend's house so wont be home til 10.30pm. I'm usually asleep by then! 😂 I got my peak smiley today so will have to stay up! 😅 jealous of you dog sitting! And the pub meal saying that! I did eat out today though (inside) and it was SO good!

@Gracie2021 Thanks! I got my peak static smiley this morning. DH was saying we'll have to do it before he goes out but that would be so awkward! Pretty sure we cant just sneak upstairs without anyone noticing! 😂 just got to try to dtd tonight and tomorrow and I'll be happy with our coverage this month! 🤞

@TheDaydreamBelievers hope you stick around but understand why it's hard at the moment. I take breaks now and then. Usually when my ridiculously early spotting starts and I feel rubbish! Maybe the soy group thread would be worth having a read of. Seems like its helped a few of the girls on here now. Sending hugs x

@Kay00 so glad everything was all clear. Awful to hear about your cousin. So sad 😔 hope you enjoyed your dinner last night after fasting for so long!

@Lovebug06 ha yes OH keeps suggesting we get a dog as he knows how much I love them and the whole TTC thing is obv bringing me down. I'm sort of hoping dogsitting will remind me of how much easier it is without one though!

@Juno231 enjoy dogsitting! Love my boy, trying to remember the hard puppy days at the moment to put me off having another as I'm getting tempted again 😁

Awww, enjoy the doggo sitting
