Ladylou17 · 05/02/2022 21:52

@FlyOnTheWall89 that's really interesting thanks so much! I'm 35 how old are you?
Yes I have had my those bloods done at the GP they want to do my progesterone first next week and then give results all together. What were yours if you don't mind me asking?
I had my LH surge last night so hopefully ovulation today or tomorrow xx

Hahaha @Cruz86 that is so sweet and funny. God that would be a miracle at this point. So your AMH is similar to mine @Ladylou17 - how old are you? I've since done a lot of research. AMH is really best used as an indicator for how you'll respond to IVF. Yes it gives you a figure which brackets you in a category, but really it's about your follicle production. I think what it does highlight is that you don't have forever to wait - if I had this test and result at 25, I'd probably decide to have kids more quickly than initially planned for example. For us, as we would love 3, we will definitely go down the private IVF route if the NHS proves too long. Have you had your LH and FSH tested? If so, what we're your results. I've read in an ideal world they need to be 1:1 so anywhere around this is a good sign. Sorry to read about your dog - 15 is an amazing age! X

Ladylou17 · 05/02/2022 10:25

@Mama500 yes I regret doing it to be honest.
Well done for not testing!
They haven't xrayed but we think it's cancer. It's a lot to put him through to sedate for scans etc so he's on some medication and seeing how he goes.
Are you having any symptoms?xx

Mama500 · 05/02/2022 09:22

Oh that’s positive @Ladylou17

I think I’m scared to know mine

Oh nooo I’m so sorry, thinking of you. What’s wrong with him?

No I haven’t I want to see 2 lines so I’m hanging on 10dpo today x

Ladylou17 · 05/02/2022 07:56

5.5-37.0 is normal range but the doctor said in report it's on the lower end. Trying not to stress about it because apparently 88% of people will have a good antral follicle count with that. The report definitely didn't help @Mama500 @Cruz86
How are you all? Any more tests @Mama500
My dog is still poorly, he's 15 I think he may be off to the rainbow bridge soon xx

Mama500 · 04/02/2022 20:55

Thanks ladies

Sorry @Ladylou17 I hope you are doing ok?

Was this a private test x

Hope dtd went well last night @Lucyasc 😂

@Mama500 your symptoms sound promising! Did you do another test this morning? When is af due?

@FlyOnTheWall89 I don't mean to sound weird but I had a dream last night that you told us you were pregnant and I was so happy for you 😂 it only takes one!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Mama500 · 04/02/2022 06:28

FlyOnTheWall89 · 04/02/2022 06:26

@Mama500 how many DPO are you? I ovulated yesterday so keeping everything crossed for a 1 perfect sperm miracle 😂 xx

Mama500 · 04/02/2022 06:19

I did last night bfn! @FlyOnTheWall89

I will wait a few more days x

FlyOnTheWall89 · 04/02/2022 06:15

Sounds like you need to do a test @Mama500 !

Mama500 · 03/02/2022 17:13

I feel a bit off and weird taste in my mouth all day so thought sod it I’ll test

I can’t find my IC anywhere lol

Lucyasc · 03/02/2022 15:04

I've had confirmation we are going to DTD tonight so fingers crossed haha xx

Mama500 · 03/02/2022 12:42

I’m so scared to test I feel like I’ve invented my symptoms 😂 @Cruz86 haha how funny how they both play the used card.

It’s genuine though it’s libido like you say.

I’ve just had w share bag of crisps and a full fat coke quite unlike me haven’t done this on a lunch break since pregnancy.

Hahaha yes mine does too @Mama500! So funny. And fair enough that you haven't tested yet. I find it okay to see negatives that early on so I test like mad 🤦🏼‍♀️ But completely understand why you're holding off.

Oh I see @FlyOnTheWall89, I'd never heard of that before! It must feel so overwhelming at the moment. Hopefully your referral comes through soon and you can start to get the ball rolling. I'm so glad you haven't left MN though.

😂😂😂 gotta do what you gotta do haven't you! It must be hard for the men, getting all the pressure from us, so anything to make it more fun! X

Thanks everyone will just have to DTD next few days and hope for the best!

@FlyOnTheWall89 hope you're ok thinking of you x

Mama500 · 03/02/2022 09:49

@FlyOnTheWall89 thinking of you it’s a scary new world and I’m keeping all my fingers crossed x

FlyOnTheWall89 · 03/02/2022 09:48

@Cruz86 sadly it would be IVF with ICSI which is so scary and invasive and mentally consuming - I think with MFI it is maybe a bit more straightforward, but it's a minefield of info so I think I still have a lot more to learn. I don't think IUI would be an option. We will take a bit of time to just see what happens and improve with supplements but I'm not holding my breath!

The downstairs tactic is a very good on @Cruz86 ....hahaha sounds v practised. Defo try that @Lucyasc x

Mama500 · 03/02/2022 09:37

@Cruz86 so does mine but when it’s finished he says he feels used haha

I know usually I would of but I am trying to hold out and stay positive. It makes me feel down when I see a negative so I’m ticking along and trying to stay positive!!!!

How are you?

How frustrating that you get a detailed overview of everything but then nothing about what it means or what can be done about it @FlyOnTheWall89! I take it long term steps (that you hopefully won't have to take!) will be IUI? Good luck for this month. I am praying you get your bfp. And hopefully because you're not really thinking about it, it will just happen. Our bodies work in funny ways like that.

@Ladylou17 sorry to hear about your poorly dog. What breed is he? And you're doing a masters! Amazing. In what? I'm doing a distance learning degree and it is so tough fitting it in around work and family.

If you're 8dpo I definitely would've tested this morning @Mama500 😂😂 I have no self control!! Good luck!!!

@Lucyasc sorry to hear your fw isn't going how you'd like. What about spicing things up tonight? If he is tired why not try and catch him before you go up to bed? Jump on him downstairs and then he'll be in the mood. Don't let it get to the bed before you start! Hope you can dtd tonight.

My oh loves fw because it's the only time I have any libido hahaha x
