🎵 Anyone for a spot of Sunday Evening Xylophone? 🌈 TTC Bus 52 🚌

@Somatronic like @pennysays says, it doesn’t stop me thinking about it, poas or not, doesn’t make any difference, not helpful I know

@Minster2012 what do any of those do?

@Somatronic it won’t stop you thinking about it…

Yeah I think I will tomorrow morning just to see if it'll stop me thinking about it.

It's a week since the IVF appointment. I'm wondering when do I start harassing them about finding our what I do next 🤔

You could always do a cheapie if you want the POAS out of your system @Somatronic or the other thinking is to leave it cos it's ticking days off anyway 🤔depends on the itching for POAS really. I did it each month just cos I had the urge 🤣🙈

In fairness I just wandered into a shop without doing any research so I'm sure there must be cheaper options out there!

Yeah I think I will wait it out, though I was half thinking of testing tomorrow just to stop my imagination running away with me. I've been symptom spotting (nothing I haven't experienced before so I'm probably imagining these things) so maybe I should just test to bring myself back to reality! I think AF is due this weekend and I'm 11 or 12 DPO now.

@Somatronic have a look at the FutureYou health ones, I'm sure they weren't that bad priced? And I can get a 20% referral I think too 🤔I don't think you are menopausal!! Are you waiting AF out??

That should read "and nearly collapsed". I'm not that dramatic!

Haha, that's hilarious @Minster2012

I ran out of vitamin D and iron so must go shopping this weekend. I started on co enzyme 10 or whatever it's called and and collapsed when she told me the price of it!

I had awful night sweats last night. Gross. I woke up deciding that I must be menopausal but now I've seen sense and realise that that's unlikely.

Let's see @pennysays here you go damn thing!
Was taking their Coenzyme10, vitamin C (still take) krill oil (still take), blood flow & DH was on their mens fertility plus (tomato based) 😂also took vitamin D (still do) so a fair bit of rattling 😜

@Minster2012 attach it! And then tell me all the supplements you’re taking. And the ways in which it has or has not improved your life. I’m all about this content.

Still didn't attach

That's it i give up 😂

After all that it didn't attach 😜

It's pretty spendy @lakejupiter yep

Mind you I never posted this at Christmas... when you get a hand signed Christmas card from the health supplements company you know you are spending too much on supplements 😂🙈

Oh thanks for this @Minster2012 - going to try this approach. Will also save money, that stuff is £££££

@lakejupiter I put a tiny bit in the "dip" of the jellyfish of the cup! Then about upto "1" in the lube tube?!

Mate I wish @Franklydear just migrainey so not making much sense either on here or in person it seems!

@larrythelizard have you been on the vino? I am guessing a close eye, yes

Good luck @InkyPaper ❤️

Congrats @pennysays lol 😂 Stay strong those waiting to test (says the person who POAS and 7dpo last month)

Thanks @larrythelizard - hoping I just had an early oestrogen rise. Cervix is low, no EWCM and had a massive temp drop this morning (no idea why other than I slept REALLY well after a couple of nights of insomnia/tossing and turning) so ovulation not imminent I don't think - usually get a couple of days warning via cervix and EWCM. Stay put for a few more days egg! But also hope I'm not too trolled by the flashing smiley, ten days is an absolute pisstake!

PreSeed users: I used lube last month but think I went overboard with it and it actually made the insemination harder as there was already a certain amount of liquid in there (and I seem to have a tiny vagina despite being not a small person). How much do you use? I was putting it in w the applicator before inseminating but wondering if I should mix a bit in w the sperm before inseminating, or just put some on the fertilily cup before I put that in.

Haven't checked in for ages, life got on top of me.

Stay strong @pennysays...at least get to double figures?!

Weirdly in the last couple of years @Somatronic I've almost turned into a morning person! I like the sound of this pagan goddess.

4 nights in a wellness hotel @Bundaberg84 this sounds amazing...!

I'm not really into other people's children @lakejupiter it's different having your own. I once had 10 days of the flashing smiley which was very annoying (I typically ovulated on day 20/21)

Pleased they're keeping a close idea on you @Franklydear

Oooh @InkyPaper exciting week 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Yay @dmb91

That's good @LoveQ

@InkyPaper my only other tip is don't struggle with constipation. It really makes the pain worse. I bought lactulose in the end but that was quite far down the line and I really regretted not using it sooner. Any extra pressure (even needing a wee) just makes everything worse. So don't suffer!

Oh and that's great @dmb91!

So looking like EC on Friday then @InkyPaper how exciting!! Did they say how many follicles are looking likely? Don't forget @clolo had a frozen transfer and it worked so if it's best for not to have to fresh then it's all good. Ahhh you just said jumpers that's so promising 😊

@Somatronic yeah that's hard. How much do you think she'd notice of you weren't online? Like the others have said there are quite of lot of the scans before the EC & like @InkyPaper has found it can mean more scans depending on what they've found. I work with DH & WFH on my own schedule so it's not an issue for me but after EC I was also dog sitting that week & I was bruised but ok enough to sit fine & walk 3 strong dogs the day after.
What's your companies covid policy? Could you fake a positive PCR test? For over then scans week? Then actually say you felt really bad with it? You do need to not worry about taking time off sick they'll survive 😘

@lakejupiter ahhhh it's such a head fuck isn't it!! Least you know it's coming but def keep an eye on both

Just been offered a pelvic ultrasound as part of PCOS diagnosis (chuffed as Terrible GP told me they would probably say no to an ultrasound since my bloods were pretty conclusive). They have me booked in for 24th Feb which is predicted to be CD1 of next cycle/14DPO. Do I want to go for a scan on that day? They may have to do it transvaginally (I have a tilted uterus) and it might be first day of AF. Or I might be waiting for AF and wondering if I'm pregnant. But they don't have any appointments after that for a couple of weeks so not sure if I should just go for it since I was so surprised to be offered one.

Affront? I guess af is an affront
