@FlyOnTheWall89 thank you! 😊
Done another OPK today and got an even stronger result I'm on CD21 at the moment so not sure what's going on 🤔 I usually, well thought I did, ovulate on day 17 or 18 as I get really light tests after these days. I was supposed to have a day 21 blood test today which got cancelled by the doctors due to sickness but thinking now it's for the best as my cycle seems to be all over the show! My temps are still below 36 too 🥴 wonder if I'll have an unusually long cycle this month?

FlyOnTheWall89 · 26/07/2022 22:32

@Lucyasc ye I think it's probably that. It loves temps. X

Lucyasc · 26/07/2022 21:28

Sorry about me today lots of questions haha, any idea what this means of fertility friend? The cycle history part now I've put all my data in from the last 4/5 months says probably not fertile?? I have only done this month with temps so not sure if that's why! X

@FlyOnTheWall89 amazing thank you I've got it now just inputting all my data xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 26/07/2022 19:56

@Lucyasc @Ladylou17 I really liked fertility friend. I used my Ava watch/bracelet but inputted the data on FF... highly recommend. X

Lucyasc · 26/07/2022 18:16

Thank you so much! I will download that app now! We've BD'd the last 2 days think we will have a break tonight and try again for another 2 days to hopefully catch it! Hope all is ok? Xx

Ladylou17 · 26/07/2022 17:38

@Lucyasc it does look like cycle day 20 or 21 I would keep BDing for the next 2 days if your temp stays high the next 2 days it will confirm you’ve ovulated. Have you got the fertility friend app too? It’s really useful and goes off both temp and opk. The month I got pregnant we kept trying for 2 days past ovulation as well xx

Lucyasc · 26/07/2022 17:19

@Ladylou17 of course here they are thanks lovely xx

Thanks @Ladylou17 - I'm glad I know and just hope it absorbs itself. X

Lucyasc · 15/07/2022 21:12

I'm ok thank you just feeling a bit negative about it all this month, I don't want to being you all down you've all had such lovely news massive congratulations to you all 💕

I've not had an appointment yet finding it hard to even make one with my doctors at the moment so will have to try again Monday x

Ladylou17 · 15/07/2022 20:41

@FlyOnTheWall89 im sure it will be lovely definitely just take it easy for now. For me started around 7 weeks but honestly majority of people it ends up being fine xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 15/07/2022 19:53

@Ladylou17 okay. How many weeks were you? Lots of mixed things on the internet. Lots day it will just resolve itself, some mention size vs size of the gestational sack. I'll take that advice and be really careful. Hopefully it's gone down by the 12 week scan. Next week I see the midwife, so I'll take my notes from today with me and show her. X

Ladylou17 · 15/07/2022 19:17

@FlyOnTheWall89 I did sadly with my last pregnancy but I was bleeding as well which is when I found out.
I would go on pelvic rest as much as you can and no heavy lifting. Lots of people have them and they go on to self resolve so try not to worry. I know it’s hard but baby is happy and healthy which is reassuring xx
@Lucyasc hope you are feeling a little better today xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 15/07/2022 17:49

@Lucyasc how was your appointment?

Guys has anyone else had a Subchorionic hematoma found at a scan? I just had another scan to check everything is okay which it is. Baby is a good size, strong heartbeat etc - sonographer said she could see the hematoma which is 28mm by 20mm by 13mm.

Lucyasc · 14/07/2022 18:23

@Ladylou17 thank you very much appreciate your kindness sorry about the negativity was feeling low earlier about it all. How are you? X

Ladylou17 · 14/07/2022 16:02

@FlyOnTheWall89 i know what you mean, it’s so hard even with scans you still worry straight after that all is fine it’s a rollercoaster of emotions isn’t it.
@Lucyasc I definitely know how you feel it’s so hard, it’s crushing every month isn’t it. sending love xx I would speak to the doctor even if its just blood tests it will reassure you I’m sure. I’ll be waiting to see your positive test on here very soon 💜 xx

Lucyasc · 14/07/2022 15:49

@Ladylou17 hi lovely congrats to everyone on your pregnancies! thanks for asking, I'm doing ok we are still trying at the moment I'm finding it really hard everyone I know is either trying or has a baby and it's too much for me. One of the girls at work is pregnant and I can hear her whispering about it its difficult. I'm trying to lose some weight to see if they helps as I know the doctor will say I'm overweight which I'm aware of. Feeling quite hopeless about it month after month getting my period I'm sure everyone knows the feeling! Going to make an appointment tomorrow with the doctor x

FlyOnTheWall89 · 14/07/2022 14:13

Such great news @Janey3090 ! Lovely to hear you had a positive scan @Ladylou17. I feel the need for another one asap. I'm so bad at thinking I've had a MMC and I'm finding the anxiety of it all really overwhelming. The first worry was getting pregnant and now staying pregnant is on my mind the whole time.

Ladylou17 · 14/07/2022 13:49

Oh my gosh @Janey3090 that’s so exciting!
congratulations. You have a very similar story to me 🥰 so happy for you. Are you going to find out what you’re having? I’m good thank you just riding through the nausea- I’m hoping I’m nearing the end of it 🤞
@Lucyasc how are you doing?xx

Janey3090 · 14/07/2022 13:39

Hi @Ladylou17 huge congratulations on your pregnancy! Hope you're feeling good

It's been lovely to scroll through just now and see success stories, hope everyone else is doing good too 💗

I'm actually doing very well, it's a bit of a story really... In March we were referred by my doctor to a fertility specialist to try Clomid etc and then potentially IVF if that didn't work, as four months of blood tests in a row showed no evidence of ovulation. DH's second sperm analysis was all good so the referral was just for me.

I mentally started preparing myself that it could be the end of the year before I had a chance of a BFP. However, I got the shock of my life on 27th April when I found out I was pregnant!! I hadn't been feeling myself for a couple of days, had a very light period (which I now know was implantation bleeding) so decided to take a test and it was positive. Now I'm just about 15 weeks along and feeling good 😊 xx

Ladylou17 · 14/07/2022 13:23

Hey @Cruz86 @Mama500 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Janey3090 how are you all doing?
had a scan yesterday measuring 10+4 all looking good and baby wiggling around, hope you all are ok xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 04/07/2022 19:37

@Cruz86 she said between 20th - 23rd February. My apps says 20th / 21st so all lines up and as I wasn't tracking, I think we will get something more accurate when the bean has grown a bit more than a few mm! So my next appointment is 20th July, which is with the midwife - do you know if that first midwife appointment will be when they do the bloods for sickle cell and the other one? X
