TTC November baby

@Tophy124 have you tested today? I still feel hopeful for you!

Hi everyone please can I join? TTC baby number 2 and this will be our first cycle of trying 😊 x

@SnookyPook Baby no1 and second cycle ttc age 32

@Superstorefan123 Hi it’s will be my second month taking clomid 100mg day 2-5 this month wasn’t any luck. I do ovulate myself but for some reason It’s not happening also my endometrial very thick 20mm so clomid will make it thinner hopefully

@Sierra26 that's reassuring to know the consultant wasnt worried. However, very frustrating that there is nothing actionable for you - have they told you to just keep trying naturally then? How long have you been ttc for?

@TunnocksTCake thanks for sharing. I had to go private for this! Just had my follow up and the consultant barely even mentioned the prolactin level, just said it was a bit high (589) but nothing to take action on.

Everything else normal… so back where I started!

@Sierra26 I had v raised prolactin earlier this year and the Dr got it re-done 6 weeks later and it had gone from 1000 down to 300. Still high and I have been concerned about the link with fertility too but dr wont do anything about it as I am in 'normal' range. Prolactin is VERY sensitive to stress, so even the stress of having your bloods taken can make it go up. I have really been working on my stress levels generally which is something to consider. I also dont have any of the symptoms like leakign from boobs etc so I am not that worried. Definitely get it re-checked and I think 3 months of elevated levels is cause for referral. Good your dr is doing additional tests, mine barely took any note 🙄

@SnookyPook thanks! xx

@Bridgeth29 I agree with @NatGee - hopefully there wouldn't be several dodgy tests in one batch... I've seen lines on both yours so fingers crossed there is progression and you can feel a bit more certain about it soon! ❤️

@NatGee thank you... I really hope so xx

@2021lady I couldn't believe what an impact bf had on my fertility! Doesn't affect everyone but my periods only returned when I finally fully weaned. Forced the issue a little as DS would have gone on longer which was a bit sad (he was 21 months) but I'm glad I did now as thankfully periods started up within a month of stopping! I just turned 37 so didn't have the luxury of waiting it out!

Baby dust to all of us!

I feel like number 2 has been a lot harder to conceive
Granted my periods were a bit messed up due to breastfeeding and such but man..I didn't think it'd take this long
I've been regularly ovulating for well over a year and nothing.
I really hope this month is ours
Baby dust to everyone!

TTC no 2 for a year.

@2021lady TTC no.2. Came off pill January 2022 but this is only my third cycle since my periods returned after weaning my first.

How long has everyone here been trying? And what number baby is it?

Update - this is my test with fmu today, 11dpo. DH still convinced they are dodgy tests as the line is too light but I think it's darker than the one yesterday at 3pm. I'm 50/50 as looked at a lot of Mumsnet last night and found so many like this that turned out people weren't pregnant.

Hi @LuckyC27 so sorry to hear of your loss. I agree completely, I used to be so easy to predict but I think everything has just gone to pot since! I only used them once on the cycle that I got pregnant, then I've felt like I need the reassurance that it's definitely happening. I think you also need to be gentle on yourself and let your body heal x

@SaltedChoco I’m also cd17 with 6 days of flashing smileys! So frustrating, I just want my static!!

@Dragonfly91 sorry to hear your feeling down. Also on second cycle after a mmc but haven’t been using ovulation tests - I was lucky in the sense pre mmc I could sense when I was ovulating so just went by that and Flo app. But now post mmc the signs aren’t as clear so thinking of using ovulation tests but also don’t want to get obsessed if that makes sense? Or anymore obsessed than I am think I have made things harder on myself as I also read that the months after a miscarriage it’s easier to conceive so just assumed it would happen 😩

@Bridgeth29 test again in the morning and fingers crossed for you!!

I just did another and stark white so I’m definitely out for this month. Will be having a HSG after my next AF and I’m so scared they will find my tubes are blocked or some other reason I can’t get pregnant naturally xx

@Tophy124 sorry about your CP. I don't understand how that can happen, it's so upsetting. No this test was at 3pm (as that's when they arrived from Amazon). But with my DS i got a clear line at 4pm on 10dpo.

@Bridgeth29 No I definitely see something! I just had a CP and it was really clear lines and then they suddenly just stopped. Was really weird!! But I also got told as I had peed directly on the test I could have flooded the test and caused a dye run…that doesn’t make much sense to me when the tests are meant for that!

@Tophy124 thanks at least it's not just me!
