@Ladylou17 @Mama500 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Lucyasc @FlipperyGibbet

Just started this new thread because ours is full. Hope the name change isn't confusing 😂 Tagging you too @rita83 if you ever pop back in to say hi! Have I missed anyone? I'm so rubbish with my memory 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

Yes sorry @FlyOnTheWall89, I changed the name because we chat throughout our cycles, not just in the TWW 😂 How are you doing? Are you still going to be trying or are you taking a little break? Sorry, I'm not very au fait with SA and counts etc. Do they give you a % chance of conceiving for example? Feel free to tell me to bugger off too!!

I've still got my private progesterone test as I managed to get this one done on the nhs, so I'll do that at 5dpo this cycle. Although I'm only going to be temping this month so hopefully that'll be enough to give me an accurate ovulation day! X

Hi guys! I think I lost this board briefly but it's been a quiet week for this chatty bunch.

FW here too although obvs not much chance of anything for a while!

@FlipperyGibbet how are you feeling now?

@Cruz86 V-day is a great cover haha. Hope you're doing okay! Any further info re progesterone test? Will you get it redone? X

Hi everyone, sorry I've been quiet. Just kept myself busy during af and I'm absolutely shattered as well 😂 On day 5 so hopefully it will ease off soon. I think my fw falls over Valentines so hopefully hubby will get carried away with himself and not worry so much about the potential due date 😆

@FlipperyGibbet sorry to hear you're finding things tough. How has everything been over the weekend?

@Mama500 you must be in your TWW now?!

@Ladylou17 @Lucyasc happy fw to you both 🙌🏻 xx

Good luck to you both @Lucyasc @Ladylou17 ! Xx

Lucyasc · 01/02/2022 11:15

@Ladylou17 fingers crossed for you! Just started my FW yesterday too so fingers crossed for both of us 🤞🏻 x

Hey @Mama500 I'm ok thanks, how are you? Sent my AMH test off today so we'll see, about to start another FW 🤞 xx

Hey everyone! Thanks for setting up the new thread @Cruz86

No tips I'm afraid @Lucyasc I used to really struggle with people telling me to "just relax" as I do think it's impossible to when your own body goes through changes week by week.

I've had a tough couple of days, am convinced I've lost the baby but don't have any specific reason. I think the fact it was a mmc last time has made me realise that there can sometimes be literally no sign. I don't seem to have any symptoms, apart from being incredibly emotional!

If anyone has the answer to that @Lucyasc, please let me know 😂 I get so stressed and it consumes my life!

Sorry to hear that @Janey3090. I'm also feeling sorry for myself as af has shown up with a vengeance today. It is so painful. Let us know how your scan goes and good luck with it. Fingers crossed the cyst isn't there!

I can't afford private tests/treatment at the moment so I've bought some vitex to see if it helps with my progesterone, until my gynae referral comes through x

@Janey3090 good luck with the scan
@Cruz86 how long is your LP usually?
@Lucyasc it's really hard but I think keeping busy planning nice things and not letting your mind get heavy with thoughts of ttc. I do yoga as well which helps xx

Janey3090 · 28/01/2022 09:36

Oh bless you @Cruz86 it's so hard. Definitely keep pushing the GP - my luteal phase can sometimes be 7/8 days and my blood tests were coming back similar (progesterone not quite high enough) which is why I then paid for further private tests, and found I'm only ovulating half the time due to a cyst so that's when I have the short cycles.

Not suggesting this will be the case here - may be another reason - but there will be something they can do about it for you I'm 100% sure Flowers xx

Janey3090 · 28/01/2022 09:32

Hi girls! Sadly I got my hopes up too much this month, AF arrived yesterday (day 11). Had quite a few tears yesterday but feeling a lot better today and more positive! I have another scan on 21st Feb to see if the cyst has shrunk at all, but if it's grown may look at getting it removed. Either way need it gone so I can be ovulating every month! x

Lucyasc · 28/01/2022 08:53

Oh no @Cruz86 stay strong! It's all so confusing isn't it 😔

Lucyasc · 28/01/2022 08:52

@Cruz86 thanks for starting this! Great idea, hope everyone is doing ok?
Anyone got any tips for staying stress free during TTC? X
