Heyyy I am back in the two-week wait if anyone is in the same boat and wants company, I ovulated 29th sept I believe! Chemical pregnancy two cycles ago so wishing this cycle is the one 🤞🏼

@emevol sorry you’re feeling like this. It’s good to get things checked out. I’ve heard lots of stories of people doing fertility tests and then falling pregnant while waiting for the results. I think knowing you’re taking some steps to help the process allows you to relax and then it happens. My tests are progressing very slowly so I may well be joining the next thread, we shall see! I’ve had some blood tests done yesterday to see if they can give me anything to help this bean stick but it costs me so much I feel sick! The GP a worn refer me until I’ve had 3 losses.

Whilst I know that you mean well, the whole idea that 'just relaxing' can get you pregnant heaps blame on people with infertility. It's quite a cruel thing to suggest that all we have to do is relax. I, for example, have already beaten myself up enough about the fact that I can't get pregnant again. Hearing that other people believe it's my fault because I'm not relaxed enough just makes it worse.

My husband has low sperm motility. Relaxing cannot fix low sperm motility nor can it cure endometriosis or PCOS or unblock fallopian tubes.

Just something to think about :)

Congrats @MillieKitty !!!

HJA87 · 11/10/2022 12:12

That should have said: GP won’t refer me

Congratulations to the bfps! How exciting! I am also out if that makes anyone feel better, when I thought I had symptoms, AF arrived today early. I’m ok, only cycle 2 here but I can imagine it’s so hard to stay calm at times when trying for a long time. Sometimes you just need to feel the sore feels, it is shit :(

@emevol sorry to hear you're feeling low, I also have heavy painful periods so I know the worry of thinking something is wrong, it's good you're contacting the GP, push for some tests and let us know how you get on x

@Peeonastick22 thank you! I'm usually so upbeat and positive but finding this so hard at the moment.

Yes, first month TTC since the weight loss. I wonder if my hormones are perhaps all over the place. I was reading today if you have heavy painful, clot-heavy periods it is almost always a hormone imbalance so I'm wondering if that's the issue I've had all along.

I find myself questioning absolutely everything now.. like do I even ovulate?! I have no idea.

DH hasn't had any tests whatsoever either so it could be something his side. Arghhh

Peeonastick22 · 11/10/2022 10:17

Don’t lose hope @emevol

Did you say it was your first month TTC since both you and your partner have lost weight?

It’s great that you’re having a conversation with your GP. If there is an issue they will pick it up.

I know it sometimes feels impossible to stay positive but you have to try

You’re a newlywed! Try and enjoy that and think of this as your first month TTC instead of looking back at the two years before you got married.

I assume it will take your body time to level out and for your hormones to settle after losing so much weight, give yourself time

sending hugs and hope x

emevol · 11/10/2022 10:03

Im currently in talks via email with my GP to see if I can get any checks / help.
Having TTC for 2 years, loosing a considerable amount of weight doesn't seem to have helped either.
I have really heavy painful periods with lots of clotting so I think there may be some issues somewhere.

I don't know how much more I can cope with 💔

Peeonastick22 · 11/10/2022 09:02

@MillieKitty still lots of time for progression then! Good luck!

Well I've tested this morning at 12dpo and the cheapie was definitely negative but there's a hint of a line on an frer, boyfriend can't see it 😂 I'm not taking it as a bfp yet but I am hoping

1dpo - it's going to be a long two weeks if anyone wants to symptom spot with me

I’m 90% sure I’m out. Properly spotting, think I’ll be on tomorrow or Thursday

sunflower25049 · 11/10/2022 08:25

@justbelieve Congratulations 🥰🥰

Just posting my photo from today at 12DPO for reference. I know over the last few months I have asked people to post their BFPs as they progress so just incase people find it useful xxx

@justbelieve Congratulations :D

emevol · 11/10/2022 07:43

I'm 100% out. Would have expected a BFP by now, AF due tomorrow.
Not even a hint of a line.

I'm so sorry it wasn't what you was hoping for. When is your AF due? The fact you haven't got that yet there is still a chance x

Peeonastick22 · 11/10/2022 07:48

Oh my goodness congrats @justbelieve !!

I’ve never seen such a lucky thread

Wasn’t going to test today as 9DPO… but I gave in and… I can’t believe it… I’m gobsmacked!

Wow, congratulations 🎉

TheVikingGirl · 11/10/2022 07:11

Well I’m out, AF arrived middle of the night 😞

Im so sorry you didn't get you BFP. I'm due my AF tomorrow and feeling crampy so I'm not feeling positive. Although I got this strange outcome from a test last night I just don't trust it. X
