Medical termination and ttc

@HoneyPea thank you, I had a lovely holiday but it’s good to be back home! How are you feeling now, any better than you were?
hope everyone else is doing ok

@Hopingforbetterluck Hope you had an amazing holiday.
@RMS0209 @HedgehogToes @Cakesnbiscuit Hope you are all ok x

@RMS0209 I haven't even looked at supplements for DH. Might give it a few months of TTC and then if nothing happens look into different supplements x

i'm just using boots own folic acid, cheap and cheerful does the job! I do however have a drawer full of supplements oopsie.. I got my OH the wild nutrition ones they are meant to be really good, he starts them today. x

@RMS0209 Thanks I definitely will. I'm coming to the end of my first box so will probably just get the same again then x

That's what I was on! @HoneyPea Pregnacare before conception his & hers,..... avoid it x

@RMS0209 That is interesting about the multivitamin. I looked into taking some of the pregnacare TTC tablets and people had said the same thing about them so decided to just take folic acid with B12 x

@Hopingforbetterluck Definitely think it's best to go and have a lovely holiday although I know it will be difficult to put it out of your mind. Then who knows you may have some lovely news when you get home 😊 x

@Hopingforbetterluck Really hoping this is the case for you, have a wonderful holiday! well deserved x

@RMS0209 thank you, I think that’s the best course of action. Maybe by the time I get back you will have your BFP. I really hope so.

@Hopingforbetterluck I am here if you need to talk, please remember that.
Your DR sounds about as much use as mine... I think you should go and enjoy holiday and see if AF appears and if not do a test when you are home and we will all be waiting for you. x

@HoneyPea my TFMR was at the start of feb but I was over 20 weeks so it’s possible I’m just not testing negative from that yet
@RMS0209 I’m not sure how I feel, none of my last three pregnancies have worked out and I was getting stronger lines with those tests. I’m not sure it’s a new pregnancy. Unfortunately where I am in the UK the Dr doesn’t do blood tests to confirm pregnancy and I doubt they’d see me before Saturday anyway. I think I’ll try to put it to the back of my mind and if AF still hasn’t shown by the time I’m back from abroad I’ll test again and see if it’s any darker

@Hopingforbetterluck wow! these look good, if it was back in Feb I wouldnt think you would still have now? I am so happy for you! really hope this is your month. How are you feeling about it? Could you book a DR app jus for peace of mind? x

@HoneyPea that's ok :) yeah definitely is I have cut back on all my supplements and just taking folic acid on its own as I think it may have been the multivitamin that lengthened my cycle i read a few people had the same experience! x

@RMS0209 sorry I just assumed. Glad it's looking good this month though 😊
@Hopingforbetterluck They look like good positives to me, some people don't get strong ones until fairly late in I don't think. I wouldn't think you would still have HCG from Feb, I have read it can usually be up to 8 weeks so depends if it was end of Feb I suppose x

This is probably a better picture in better light - the pink one looks even fainter in this

@RMS0209 surely the top pink dye test is too faint to be a real positive at 18dpo?

Thanks @Hopingforbetterluck I am hoping for some luck this cycle ... feeling positive today, yesterday however....

Can you send photos of your test? I'd like to see. X

@RMS0209 I’ve got my fingers crossed for you this month! We are going to Portugal so hoping to have a nice couple of weeks.
@HoneyPea aw I’m so sorry you’re not well. I really hope you feel better soon and feel ready to ttc.
I did a test this morning which I thought was negative but when I looked at it later there was a faint line. Thought it must be an evaporation line but went out and got a blue dye and digital test. I was so sure they’d be negative I bought a bottle of wine with my shopping but I’ve come home and done them and they’re both positive. I’m so confused as I thought pink dye tests were more sensitive (the one I did first thing) and I’ve only ever had strong results with them. I’m thinking it could be a chemical or is it possible I’ve still got HCG in my system from the TFMR in February? I’m completely thrown now.

@HoneyPea I didn't give birth, I tend to ovulate differently every month but this month i am on CD14 and my OPK's are looking good so hopefully I get my peak CD16/17 latest this month.
I use an ovusense and cheapie OPK strips.

So sorry to hear you arent feeling great sending hugs x

@RMS0209 Guessing giving birth has messed up your cycles as day 23 sounds fairly late? Is the total length of your cycles changing every month? Do you do tests to check ovulation?
@Hopingforbetterluck I can imagine you are feeling nervous about testing but I don't think I would have the willpower to wait!

No I haven't tried this cycle as I've been unwell. I had a bad UTI in March which took 2 lots of antibiotics to clear and then it started again at the beginning of this month. I then ended up having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and ended up in hospital. I just want to feel well again, it's really getting to me now 😢 x

Hi @Hopingforbetterluck lovely to hear from you again 💗🌸

Yeah @HoneyPea how are you doing? We are here for you if you decided to try again this cycle.

I'm ok... not much to report here CD13 today, trying "SMEP" method again a remix version started CD11 going for every 2nd night until I get a peak (which hopefully will be before CD23 this month!)
I am very jealous of holiday, where are you going? Somewhere lovely I bet.
Least you get CM, I get bloody none! Grr.

I hear you with the being scared to test.. I did one 12DPO in Jan and the BFN made me so sad... yet here I am in May still trying!

Stay strong xx

Hi how is everyone doing
@HoneyPea did you decide to try this cycle?
@RMS0209 how are you getting on this cycle?
we are going on holiday this weekend and we’re not trying properly until we come back as in not tracking ovulation with tests, however we’ve not been using protection. I think I’m 18dpo (although I’m not sure as like I say I’m not tracking and that’s just going on cm). I’m too terrified to do a test. I could be completely wrong about when I ovulated or might not have at all as I have PCOS but I’m so afraid to check.

@RMS0209 I'm sorry it isn't happening as quickly for you as it did before. Please don't loose hope. Are you trying anything different or sticking to the method you were trying.
I don't think I'll ever be ready but I would love another one. I think I'm worrying that it might not be as easy and quick as the last 2 times. I have a nearly 3 year old and I don't want there to be a massive gap between them (if we ever get lucky enough to have another!)
I'm on CD10 today so might not be able to try this cycle anyway (no idea when ovulation usually is, I've only ever gone by my Fitbit apps general fertile week) x

Hi @HoneyPea
Glad to hear your iron levels are ok, that's wonderful I am delighted for you.

TTC journey not going well.. currently cycle 5 cycle day 5.. getting a bit deflated now.
I am happy to hear you think you may be ready to try again. Did DH say anything else apart from that? I know he is maybe just cautious and worried my OH iwas the exact same but we are are on the same wave length now and I could tell he was upset on Friday when AF appeared. :( x

@Cakesnbiscuit Had the results of my blood test and apparently my iron levels seem to be ok so they have told me not to bother taking them anymore.
@RMS0209 How is the TTC journey going? I feel like I might be ready to start again now but don't think DH is 😢 Mentioned that I would like to try again and got oh, I wasn't thinking we would try that until next year some time.
