TTC chat thread 4

@alwaysseeingstars thank you, yeah hopefully means its getting longer. Just wish ovulation go back to being a little earlier again but at least I am ovulating I guess!
@Hjudge56 thanks, has AF arrived for you as you expected?
@Havanalily1806 oh I'm sorry, that's rubbish 😕

@Havanalily1806 well hopefully it will be the right time sometime very soon ❤️

I really hope you get some solid answers soon lovely xxx

@Hjudge56 thank you, I know I think I had already prepared myself, it happens to others so often on here unfortunately.

I had already been for blood tests which came back with a high ratio of LH to FSH which they said is a sign of PCOS but told me to come back in 3 months if things haven't settled 🙄. I just have no trust in the NHS at the minute due to other family members being really let down, nothing is even close to being dealt with at a normal time frame, never mind quick, so we decided for now to use the private route as much as we can financially.... will need to see what is needed longer term.

Probably going to reach back out to the private clinic and rearrange, even just so we have more of an idea what we are dealing with.

@Havanalily1806 i am so sorry to hear. I had a chemical a few months back, had the faint lines as you did and then nothing the next day, so I completely understand. We are here for you!

Will you go to the doctor to discuss the possibility of PCOS?

Sending you a big hug ❤️

@Hjudge56

Unfortunately my temp dropped yesterday morning and test was BFN. Today I've had no symptoms at all so knew it was a chemical. And my 'AF' has now just arrived.

Struggled a bit yesterday as I think I was still experiencing all the symptoms so was tired and sick as well, but feeling a lot better today. It's only cycle 2 for us, albeit it 4 months in due to my irregular cycles....

Ironically I only tested early as I had an appointment with a private fertility doctor today and I'd had all the symptoms I wanted to make sure. We've cancelled that now until we new what was going on, but will rearrange. I'm sure I have PCOS and this probably confirms that even more, although I'm aware there's a number of reasons for it.

I'd always thought I'd struggle to conceive so I was expecting it weirdly, definitely too good to be true to be past the 12 week mark just in time for Christmas to tell family etc.

Hopefully this doesn't put my cycles even more to pot and I can try again soon

@MamaSJ15 ah I’m sorry to hear! I can tell I am right behind you! AF will show up for me today, I’ve got all my usual signs!!!
I will update you for sure but very sure it’s coming today!

@Havanalily1806 have you done anymore tests?

@MamaSJ15 oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that - I had high hopes for you this month! Is this hopefully a sign though that your LP is returning to a more normal for you length?
Sorry to hear you have a cold too :( I have covid currently and am feeling absolutely rotten - wish I could have a few days in bed but sadly I work I can work remotely (so no excuse of passing it on) and have a crazy amount of work to get done!

@Hjudge56 aaaand AF arrived this morning. Full of a cold and AF .. this is gonna be a fun week 😂

@Hjudge56 I keep thinking AF is gonna arrive but it still hasn't. Very occasionally I'll get a slight feeling of start of cramping but it fades very quickly. 🤷🏼‍♀️ This is one of my stranger cycles. BFN early evening on a IC too.

@MamaSJ15 I think it’s so easy to overthink the symptoms though so whether you have them or not- it’s possible your pregnant!

@alwaysseeingstars thank you.
@Hjudge56 sorry, that's rubbish.
I'll keep you updated. I've no idea how this is going to go, I don't really feel anything towards AF or pregnancy if I'm honest! 🙈

Yes quite confident it is! I think AF will arrive over the next 2 days! Ah fingers are crossed for you! I hope this is your month!

@MamaSJ15 keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

@Hjudge56 oh that's rubbish. Do you think AF is on its way then?
I will do, can't bring myself to test yet as yesterday's was very negative! 12 dpo today and 2 days late now. Will see how long I last before I test or AF arrives!

@MamaSJ15 thats okay! I’m getting a bit numb with it tbh… the first 2-3 months of trying I was getting really down when AF came then I had a couple months not tracking anything, and now I’m just trying not to get upset so it is what it is! I won’t test again now as AF is due tomorrow and I’ve woken up with AF cramps so I know she will poke her ugly head round the door V soon haha! I’m 13Dpo today and am sure I would have have at least something faint if it was my month! Let us know how you get on next test!

@Hjudge56 thank you, still not arrived yet. Sorry about your BFN, when did you say AF is due? It was BFN for me this morning too but I'm still only 10/11 dpo even though AF is late, it's all very complicated 😂
@Havanalily1806 thank you! Definitely see that line! Congratulations!! 🥳🥳

@Havanalily1806 it's absolutely there 💕

@Havanalily1806 i can see it!!!! I think this is the start of your BFP 🥰

I was a bfn this morn on cheapie unfortunately but there’s always another cycle!

@MamaSJ15 I’ve got all my fingers crossed for you!
@Hjudge56 @MrsCristianoX I’ve attached it, it’s so hard to get a photo of it but it was there on both the FRER and easy@home … my fiancé even spotted it without me needing to point it out 😂 so I’m hoping I get something a bit clearer tomorrow… still got the nausea and boobs are getting worse as the day goes on 😅

@Havanalily1806 ooh I found the picture in record time. Cancel that

@Havanalily1806 I need pictures because I have withdrawal from POAS 😂

@MamaSJ15 fingers crossed AF doesn’t show up for you today!!!

@Havanalily1806 ah amazing!!! Have you got pictures?

@Havanalily1806 oh yay!! Fingers crossed it progresses!
I'm on CD30, AF was due yesterday but BFN on cheapie test this morning. Premom shows today as AF due day though so who knows. But I'm still only 10/11dpo. I'm not holding out much hope.

@MamaSJ15 sorry to hear about your miscarriage 🙁

My cycles are so irregular, I've had 45,40,65 and thought I was on for a 35 day cycle, however I've just gotten two vvvfl on a FRER and an easy@home 😭

@Havanalily1806 were all around a similar time at the moment then! 12 days is pretty good LP. Since the miscarriage mines been shorter at about 10 usually. Before that I was usually like clockwork 28 day cycle, ovulate day 14 but all out of whack since then. I seem to now have gone back to a 28 day cycle, ovulate around CD18 🤦🏼‍♀️
