Had a lovely sort of sunny bank holiday at 11DPO and don’t even feel like testing!

Think it’s because in my 2 previous pregnancies and last month’s CP I’ve known before the test that it would be BFP and this month nothing so I’m not trying to kid myself. BBT still high but often is until the day AF starts so doesn’t mean anything.

Sorry I'm so quiet the bfn has gotten to me alot worse this time 😞 I know it's early but it's just shit another month of bfn xx

I’m sorry @Amy95 i know how it feels and it really cuts deep and you think how can I go again and start another cycle but you can and you will. Hope and determination keeps us going back even if we don’t feel it initially. If you want to rant cry or just moan, drop me a PM and I’ll happily listen. You’re strong and you’re amazing. This was nothing you did just back frickin luck this time. Ultimately that’s a lot of it - jammy buggers 😂 sending love across the country . X

@GeoSmed aaah I see, that's so interesting!

Yeah my friend said the prep for ivf was really hard, but it has worked for them, I'm so happy for them!

Yeah I have 2 girls, I'm 28 (just), although I'm going grey!

I'm so ready to have my coil out, awful thing!

Awww it’s so lovely how happy you are for her. It’s really special when someone is successful. I well up when I listen to podcasts of people I don’t know!

yeah it’s a lot of prep mainly nutrition, cutting caffeine, sugar, alcohol, increasing zinc, supplements, sleep, and exercise. It’s very much ‘all in’ when you do it.

awww lovely you have 2! And so young too! That’s beautiful 🥰 are you married? And where are you from? All the questions! I’m not a stalker…. I promise … 👀

This is actually our little dictator's game too. He's got long hair with big curls so looks like butter wouldn't melt. He's always ordering me to carry him into different parts of the house, I think him and Mouse would he great mates 🤣

I was the culture fit check and I'd vetoed someone else. She seems really intelligent and wonderful. But you never know. 😅 The clients at my old agency were better, now I'm mostly on one B2B client. I'm hoping she'll help us win lots of new business though!

Haha, perhaps he'll be a great teenager 🤣 he is frustratingly adorable but also a bit crazy 😅 omgosh, two beautiful ones - perfect for twinnies!

Haha kids are f**kers aren’t they? Why do we want them again? 👀 and I’m bloody paying for it too. Christ. Think we’re mentally broken! Yeah reckon she’s hands down rule him tho. She’s a sassy woman with a far too high opinion of herself. Adolf best watch his back 😎

Least you think she’ll fit in with the team / company vibe. How old is she? I find it weird when you have a boss that is younger than you. Yeah where I work it’s only b2b but I’ve only ever worked in that bar 2 companies - one being dulux and one being a nutrition company. But I think I prefer b2b anyway.

he sounds adorable. Especially with long curly locks! Does he get the curls from you? My hair is a white - like, baby white. I must be such a rare case where I still have such blonde hair that I’ve never dyed. But I’ve always wanted brown curly hair! I always think it looks so much more healthy. Haha we’ll see. Hopefully. X

@GeoSmed I'm 11dpo today and due period on Wednesday or Thursday but it's gonna be so hard not to test tomorrow 🤣 getting low on tests but got more coming Thursday 🤣
I love hearing random facts especially about babies and things, I definitely need a distraction 🤣🤍x

GeoSmed · 29/05/2023 19:49

chlx3 · 29/05/2023 16:04

@GeoSmed apart from the rash I feel pretty normal, it's just itchy.

Driving myself insane trying to not to test until Wednesday or Thursday morning!🥲🤍x

@chlx3 whay day are you today? Well I’ll be here till thurs so I can distract you with useless stats and facts, or just talk to you about your favourite food 😂 you got this 🙌

LeopardLover · 29/05/2023 16:57

GeoSmed · 29/05/2023 13:18

Yeah that’s her game plan. Look cute and adorable, then when you’re not looking, get your ankles and puncture them. She’s perfected this tactic and now chases you up the stairs. It’s like an emotional rollercoaster living in my house.

oh nice. Do you know who they are or are they an external?. It’s always so hard when you get a new boss. I had a similar thing when a bunch of people got made redundant and now I have a different director. Do you have some good clients or they all boring ones? 😂 I’ve only done agency once and it was on one account so it was as if I worked in house. Yeah good shout on the testing. I don’t think you benefit from testing early. I always find it never makes you feel good!
But yeah why not if you have cheap ones anyway.

they will do hopefully. And hopefully adolf will be like oh shit THATS how it’s done 😂I love that he wanted to wake up cars whatever that means. Nawww he sounds adorable even if it’s a bit dictatorish.

so scan was good! I had 2 x dominant follicles which all being well, will be the only ones that the injections grow to release. There was about 30 small ones but they were tiny. Like 2mm where as the big ones were 10mm. Anything above a 13mm will be released when they give you the trigger shot, so another few days of stimming and see where we’re at. Very likely we’ll be releasing double egg 😳🥰

@dabs9 you can't torture yourself with that being the reason, was it painful to remove? I hope you get some answers soon lovely, sending a hug! X

@chlx3 We’ll find out soon since af is just around the corner but I kind of don’t wanna know and if it’s another negative it’s gonna hurt a bit more this month.

Hey @emmatcc1 i don’t think I’ve said hey yet! Hope you’re doing okay and I know exactly how you mean about not testing as you have hope when you don’t know, where as when you do, you don’t have hope anymore. Ignorance is bliss right!

GeoSmed · 29/05/2023 14:15

chlx3 · 29/05/2023 10:45

This sounds exactly like me! I usually get period cramps then my periods within a couple of hours so it's strange to be cramping already! I'm going to test on 13dpo too on Wednesday! Keep me updated? x

Sorry you had a negative @chlx3 it is early tho and as @LeopardLover said, you can implant really late. Generally you implant anywhere from day 6-12, so if you conceived back end of your ovulation window, it might be more towards the 12 day than 6.

have you had any changes today bar the rash? How’s your balance etc? X

GeoSmed · 29/05/2023 14:11

dabs9 · 29/05/2023 12:51

@GeoSmed yea I'm 32. The Dr said it would be worth trying to bring it down because my cycles have become so irregular the last 6 months but in all honestly I don't think that's what is causing the irregularity. My weight has always been quite consistent but I do want to lose some weight regardless to give the IVF maximum chance of success! We just have to be BMI less than 30 for the IVF.

Aw yay!! That's amazing news! So there's a chance of conceiving twinnies this cycle for you?! I have younger sisters who are twins and honestly I think it would be the dream haha. Xx

Omg I was just about to say “same as me” then realised I was 34! 😳 Jesus Christ how that happen.

anyway. They say that to anyone who has a slightly higher bmi for anything. They just use that as the answer to everything. Migranes - loose weight. Fertility - lose weight. Endometriosis- lose weight. Sleep issues - lose weight. It’s funny cuz I was listening to a podcast this morning in the gym about it and how you trust drs becuz they’ve had 7 years of med school or whatever but actually, if it doesn’t feel right or you’ve done research and think differently, challenge it. I think we are all too scared to say ‘actually I think you’re wrong’. Me included in that! Sorry rant 😂

do you know what’s causing the irregularity or have a thought on what it is? and has it only been recently you’ve had some changes? Yeah ivf is a killer on the body. If we don’t conceive this month or next on the current method, we’re going to go to IVF but have a 6 week break before so we can prep properly with caffeine, sleep, nutrients etc. it defo helps.
im here if you ever want to chat about it as until someone has been through it, it’s hard for people to understand (not digging out you guys here btw - you’ve been really understanding it’s been lush!)

Ha yeah! After one week stimming last month, I only had 1 x 7mm, so this month I have 2 x 10mm’s already! With about 6 days to go 😬 theirs also a lurking 7 in the background too so could release 3 if that wakes up. Highly unlikely all 3 will fertiliser but you have to be prepared they may. 😶

GeoSmed · 29/05/2023 13:18

LeopardLover · 29/05/2023 10:08

Omgosh, Queen Kitty is beautiful! Love that she's called Mouse 😂

My new manager starts next week so hoping things will pick up as a result! Good luck today 🙏🏻 let us know!! Haha pre-toddler I was pretty irregular. I don't think I'll test until at least 12DPO. So Friday 2nd. Ideally I'd wait until AF was late but I do have some easy @ home cheapies so essentially free tests 😅

Yes, hoping the next one just loves to sleep. Today Adolf woke me up at 6am chatting away, demanding we go downstairs to "wake up" his cars 🤣😴

you got this! I’m defo not testing early again this month as it’s just not worth the emotional rollercoaster. Xx

@GeoSmed I don't know what's happening with my app, I think it's really delayed lol. I did reply to you though, will pop it below.

"My LMP was 11th May. Yeah approaching month 18, have been to see the GP and have had fertility investigations. Was offered ovulation support but I opted against it and to try and focus on healthy eating and exercise instead (my BMI is less than 30 but could use a bit of work lol).
Have tracked my cycles to a T for most of the last 18 months minus the odd month where I just couldn't face it. And I've never been pregnant before so I'm just feeling like it's never going to happen.
IVF referral will go off in a few months if still ttc.
I really hope your scan goes well today @GeoSmed ! X"

Yeah mines being an arsehole today too.
Ah okay. So is your bmi contributing did they say or not? I know they’re so strict with ivf and me and my husband had to have a bmi between 19–25 to qualify. It’s as if they try and give as many reasons as possible to decline people. They’re shit.

I didn’t know that for some reason I thought you had one. Did you say you were 32? Body’s are just no heads. Mine is anyway.

awww thanks darl. It was good progress! 2 x follicles growing good and in again weds To checl on them. So likely 2 will be released this month 😳😳 xx

I feel like I’m gonna go crazy. This morning a huge hive appeared on my left hip. It’s not an insect bite as there is no bite mark and it only itched for a moment now it not bothering me it just a huge patch of raised skin. I googled what it could be and I found it could be a pregnancy sign? I’ve never had allergy hives and thus is the first time I experience this.

I'm covered in some itchy rash too. Appeared yesterday and have no clue what it is x

Tww 🥳🌸 come join me 🙌

@chlx3 I’ve had early period cramps in previous cycles but they were like one or two cramps a couple days earlier but yesterday they were consistent and today my temp went up by 0.2.

That sounds really positive! Mine went up by 0.1 then back down to 36.6 which it's been all week now. I've been getting cramps since like 4dpo it's just strange x
