Tww 🥳🌸 come join me 🙌

Yes, I think so! There is a range but I found my temps were always a bit lower. An expert could probably explain it better but I found charting and the visualisation made it super easy to understand! X

@LeopardLover so, for the temping, is it about rising and falling but different temps for each individual or is there like typical levels for everyone?
Basically, is there any point in me taking my temperature or do I need my own chart to know what it means? Xx

@Bubblesandtroubles Remind me of your DPO? I really hope you've also got @UKMummy2one@UKMummy2one's metallic taste and it's a good sign for you both 💜

It was me who was too scared to buy a lunch break test. Thankfully I have a stash of cheapies to waste 🤣x

@emmatcc1 that's just rubbish 😔 give yourself some nice treats tonight/tomorrow. Then dust yourself off ready to go again. At least we've got a good little group going here for those of us who need another try next month!

I still feel exactly like I'm about to start too but nothing all day. I've got a nice bottle of red that I'll treat myself to whilst I wallow over the weekend if it's bad news.

I've convinced myself I have the metallic taste now but I think it's more in my head than anything.

I'm also absolutely shattered but that could just be life!

I've been sooo tempted to test today but have resisted. Would need to go and buy one and, like someone said up thread, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it at lunch incase I bumped into someone so that's helping me hang on til the weekend.
Xx

Ah, we're in the BFN category together! But we're not out until we're OUT! 😔

Haha get on it! I became too obsessed with BBT which is why I'm not doing it this time. It was such a good indicator of pregnancy though! Haha! What are your thoughts on Ubiquinol and how much are you taking? 🤣

Yes, that's a good shout. We want a refined kid, not one buzzing on e numbers 😉 x

I caved and took a test when I got home from work! 🙈

It was a BFN. Now I'm just gonna wait and see if AF arrives soon.

@dabs9 Nope first time I’ve mentioned it I only joined the thread yesterday 😬

I think I’m 11 DPO 🤔 CD30

@GeoSmed 🤣🤣 deffo not licked a battery. It only came on over the past hour and I can’t pinpoint the taste. I want to say metallic!

I didn’t struggle with my weight until I stopped BF and carried on eating like I was still BF 😂 I’m only 5ft4 but do get fast hair growth, didn’t have it that bad until having my daughter and ended up with random black hairs on my chin ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️ and really weird one is one appeared on my belly like below my belly button while pregnant and it’s always there still. Not sure whether that’s a combo of the hormones going crazy postnatal x

Either you've licked a battery or it's a reeeeeally good sign! What day did you test on again? Was it 10? I don't have shit, so i'm prob not best to answer 😂

It hurt when they did the scan as, as you know, it's internal, so It felt super crowded in there!

Yeah it does. I assume you don't have struggles with weight, hair or insulin then either? In fact i'm the polar opposite of someone with classic PCOS. I'm 6ft tall, a size 10/12, the fairest hair and not much of it, and a mad fast metabolism! 😂I just have the dumb ass ovaries.

Depends where you go will depend on the price, but I can only tell you what I have to use as a guide.
I'm on a relatively low ish dose, and for me for 2 weeks of injections, it's £400 for the drugs, and £750 for the monitoring each cycle. So around £1,150 ish, but it depends on the dose. It works out on average (for the drugs) £25p/day, but it could be £75 p/day if you were on a high dose like the IVF doses.

Hope that helps x

Oooh @UKMummy2one this sounds really promising!! Was it you who was getting the metallic taste the other day? What is the taste like now? And how many dpo are you?
Sorry, I'm sure you've written this already.. there are so many messages in this thread it's hard to keep up with them all 😅

Keeping everything crossed for you that this is it!! Xx

Ermmmm ... no. Basically i'm relying on the fertility clinic to do everything for me 😆I will download that though thanks and good intel - this is my new obsession now, I love to obsess over something. Last week it was supplements, and I've got about 8 to take each day now 😂

Hmmmm I reckon it depends where they are in Asda. If their in the confectionary, biscuit or ice cream aisle, abort abort abort! If they're in the herbal tea aisle, the home section or the bath lotion aisle, I reckon we're onto a winner. x

Ladies, I’m hoping this is good news.. since having that BFN & no symptoms really this afternoon I’ve started getting a really strange taste in my mouth (hoping it’s not covid 🫣😂 I don’t have other covid symptoms) and also lots of twinges, nothing strong but enough to notice.

Anyone had/got this too?

@GeoSmed oh wow, that’s a lot of follicles! You must of had some discomfort with that cycle?

Sounds like we’re very similar then! Only had the tracking when on the Letrozole as because I have my daughter this round is self funded. If 7.5mg doesn’t work (once we try) we will have to move on to the injections I’ve no idea what they cost either 😬

@emmatcc1 I'm so sorry 😔 as Chlx3 said I try to see it as a new opportunity but it is utterly shit!
I hope you can take some time tonight to relax and pamper yourself, and have a glass of wine or 2! 💕 xx

Oh I'm sorry :( Atleast you always have the next cycle! It's hard to see it that way but Atleast we get another chance! Mine was due yesterday and today but no sign of it yet x

Af just started a day earlier than it was supposed to.

Yes, probably best to wait 🤣🤔

Check you out with your megafit RHR. That was once me pre-Adolf. My RHR shot up once I was pregnant! 🤣 So, have you got an app too? I used Femometer. You log it and it basically tells you what's good. You'll see a dip before ovulation, then it'll rise. You want it to stay up! It can drop a little bit and that could indicate an implantation dip, then you just want it to stay high. Otherwise it normally drops before your period is due!

How do you think we'll know if the kid's a sleeper? 🤔 Very important 😝

Awww Thanks darling. Your faith keeps me motivated! I was about to just throw the towel in and just steal a child from someone in Asda, so alas, I will refrain and just wait till Friday.

I heard that your HR increases when you're pregnant, but I don't know by how much, or what number. My RHR is basically dead 99% of the time! 😂It's like 50 or something. Question for you - body temp. Being basic as I am, I don't really understand and have never tracked. I bought a thermometer, and not really sure what the readings mean if they're good or not?

Awww it's good that you're positive anyway - that's a good thing. Maybe come shopping with me to Asda for a child? xx

What did you buy for your holiday? Did you say you go in 2 weeks? Is it just you and your partner, or a group of you? xx

How annoying you didn't get a call after you were told you would! However, it definitely implies there's still hope for this cycle soooo, let's just cross our fingers and wait until Friday!

Nothing other than indigestion and an increased RHR. Which is a bit weird but I'm reading into everything! I certainly don't feel pregnant. I'm a bit disappointed but totally fine. If we caught this cycle it would've been beginner's luck 🤣

Honestly, we need some BFPs on this thread! 🙏🏻

@UKMummy2one Ah exactly the same as me, I don't have the 'syndrome' element of it where you have high testosterone, weight issues, insulin problems, increased hair on the body etc, but I have the polycystic ovary side. Same as you - seems a lot of people are similar! Do you know how many follicles you have per month on each or is it not tracked (bar when you were on letrozole?)

Yeah that's really sad. Especially when you're throwing more drugs at it and it's still like nahhhh. The biggest I've ever had was 15, but a very thin lining. That tends to be my issue. Bar month 1 where I over stimmed and had 19 x 14+!

Yeah the ovulating thing is odd isn't it. Cuz your body is obviously pumping out estrogen to plump up your lining, which then sheds when no egg comes out aka your period. That's what happened with my first round - they couldn't trigger me to ovulate as I had 19 and it was super risky and apaz I'd have been in agony! Body's are bloody mental aren't they - Honestly, it's a wonder anyone gets pregnant!

Haha have you been on Clomid? I know that they make you literally f'ing mental. And theirs like 50% chance of twinning with them! x

Thank you! I didn't have a call, but I had a message on my portal to say continue and scan on Friday, whatever that means 🙄

Oh how strange! Have you had that in any previous months? Do you have anything else other than a heavy foof? 😂xx

Thanks darling. It does help i'm jacked up on hormones either 😂how are you doing? xx

Thanks Girl. Well, they didn't ring me, they just sent me a message on the portal which was annoying but whatever. Just basically said to carry on with the injections at the dose we're at, and got another scan on Friday morning at 8:30am. so god knows! I assume they're hoping somethin has gone on over the next 2 days, but I dunno. I feel a bit lost hope. Least I'll be going into that appointment with absolutely no expectations, so anything has got to be better than abandon! 😂

Ohhhh not long then. Have you had any usual periody twinges or literally nothing either way? Well needless to say I'll be here Saturday for you haha! At least ONE of us has to be pregnant come on God... pick a few of us! x
