No AF. Due today, tested yday - BFN so just waiting for her to arrive I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ although I’m still not out and still getting egg white CM so confused as it shouldn’t be like that?

You never know!! I've also had lots of EWCM which drove me wild but the Internet says it could go either way 😅 however, my dill period pains are undeniable. They aren't the stabby early pregnancy ones! It could be you implanted on 12DPO? 🤔

LeopardLover · 03/06/2023 14:28

@dabs9 @GeoSmed I haven't been to Japan but would LOVE to!! I have been to Singapore a couple of times which is lovely but obviously not Japan 😅

Have never been to Mauritius but used to work for them a tiny bit (agency life) so I know it looks awesome! Sri Lanka looks beautiful too I'd be going for the blue whales 😍

Hoping you don't have to wait too long to get through those NHS loops! I also feel the pressure of having multiple kids you know, I never wanted to rule out 3 but I think nature will do that for me 😅 unless twins. Imagine going for #3 and getting twins LOL.

dabs9 · 03/06/2023 14:21

@GeoSmed twins all the way! 🤞
Ours will be NHS funded so unfortunately have to jump through their hoops.
I would 100% look at paying privately but my husband isn't at that point yet.. he wants to wait a bit longer to see if it happens naturally, and of course like a true Scotsman wants to save his money if he can! 😂 we're in Aberdeen.

Jeez that's too many manly things going on at once!! Hope he's got his top off building that lawnmower to at least give you some eye candy! Hahaha.

Uh how annoying! But Mauritius sounds amazing! I went once as a kid but I don't really remember it. My bestie just went and it looked incredible!!
We had planned to go to South America and travel around countries for our honeymoon but due to covid couldn't 😣 and ended up going to Sri Lanka instead. Xx

@GeoSmed that's the thing isn't it.. when you know you're in your 30s and want multiple children and it's already taken you years and counting for number 1, you feel you don't have that much time to play with lol. If we're lucky enough to ever get pregnant I think I'll start making IVF plans for #2 immediately after giving birth 😂😂

Just had a look on our fertility clinic website. Couple of weeks back the waiting list for IVF was 16 weeks from referral being received.. it's now 20. I'm dreading that number going up and up between now and September.
I know that's still fairly short in comparison to other places but it feels so mean to make you wait even longer when it's already been years!

Currently laying on the sofa and been snoozing lol. I'll probs be here all day. OH is away camping and hiking for the weekend.
Looking up holidays for end of the year and I think I've now decided I want to go to Japan.
Have you ever been? Or @LeopardLover ? I feel like one of the 2 of you may have 😂 xx

Yeah that’s it isn’t it? That’s why I’m team twins 😂 what clinic is it that you went to / looked at? Mine has no wait list. Like our referral is sat with them waiting for when we’re ready and when I want to start this each month it’s like yeh can you come in tomorrow. Might be worth looking - they’re all over the country.

Awww sounds lush! Is it nice weather there? Where are you again? And that is one manly weekend!!
my husband is doing equally manly things. FA cup final on tv, f1 on the iPad and golf on his phone. While building a lawnmower 😂

no unfortunately not. We were meant to go for our honeymoon but cuz of covid, we had to go to one country and stay there, rather than move around like we had planned in Japan, Singapore etc. and ended up going to Mauritius. But we are going to rebook it and go again at some point. Xx

LeopardLover · 03/06/2023 14:09

@GeoSmed I'll be partying while you're at that appointment then! I think I'm going to ovulate on 19th June, hopefully... Before Glasto 😅

P.S Coffee and cake sounds lush! How cool you have friends from the US visiting 😍

dabs9 · 03/06/2023 10:41

@GCS34 I think that if there's been such an immediate improvement with your sleep and mental health knowing you're having a little break and knowing what's happening it's definitely a good thing right now, even tho it's not the ideal outcome it's definitely most important to look after yourself and your health 💕

I asked the fertility Dr about my follicle number and she made out like it was a good thing lol. But said if my cycles become more erratic to get back in touch, which I did and she told me I could start letrozole at that point. I've said to my husband I'm gonna have 1 more natural cycle and if it's a shitty long one again I'm gonna ask for the meds.
They did check my FSH a few times.. can't remember the results but they have always said they're normal.

I have no idea on luteal phase this month lol. Cos not 100% on confirmed ovulation so I'm just winging it and waiting to see what happens. Not even opk testing anymore.. have zero hope this month, just need to have a proper bleed and reset!! 😂 xx

100%. It wasn’t good being in that horrid anxious ‘unknown’ phase. Add to that a bunch of weird injection hormones and I’m glad to have not injected yesterday! It defo does up my anxiety around the 2 weeks injecting leading to ovulation.

oh god I hate it when they do that. Or say ‘you’re only young’ and in like yeah in medical world I’m only young, but I’m 34 and I want multiple and don’t want to be the granny at the nursery! Did you get your results or not?

yeah body’s are so messed up. What I did learn yesterday is that some months Pcos plays nicely and allows you to be semi normal. Other times it’s a dick nd theirs no rhyme or reason why it acts up. Sounds like you’re similar! Hope you’re having a nice day. Xx

dabs9 · 03/06/2023 12:45

@Amy95 oh god yeah, quite right to not track and just enjoy your life while on your holiday!! Carefree and relaxed is best way for this month! 🥰

@LeopardLover omg yeah you can bet it'll arrive at the most inappropriate time! Always hahaha.
The cramps are the worst.. I've cracked out the hot water bottle today as my backache is ramping up 🙄
Hope you enjoy your family lunch!! Xx

I’m with the ‘fuck off may!’ Mentality and just enjoy the next few weeks taking it easy, relaxing and back on being psycho wives in 2/3 weeks time 😂

are you guys doing anything today? Xx

GeoSmed · 03/06/2023 13:44

Amy95 · 03/06/2023 11:41

So what are your plans today , I'm actually glad we're all in it together June is going be a good one for us all 🤞🤞xx

Yeah it will be nice to all be together. I thought I was going to be there on my own! My appointment for starting again is Fri 23rd June, which will be the 2 weeks pre ovulation, will you be alligned then @Amy95 @LeopardLover @dabs9? would mean ovulation estimated round 7/8 July?

today just been into our village for a coffee and cake 🍰 this afternoon house admin as we have friends over from USA on Thurs for a weeding we’re going away for next weekend so pottering. Best weekend. Oh an having a big massive aperol spritz later! How about you? Hope the PP aren’t bad. Xx

LeopardLover · 03/06/2023 13:42

@dabs9 Well,actually now you've blown my mind about the luteal phase length always being the same (mine is 13 days), it won't arrive until the early hours. I'll enjoy the BBQ in peace ✌️😂

Hope the hot water bottle helps! So annoying when it's hot outside but you need the pain relief. Xx

LeopardLover · 03/06/2023 12:33

@Amy95 @Bubblesandtroubles Sorry about AF arriving 😔 Seems most of us will be in the June crew! @Sealover123 have you tested again yet?

I'm still waiting for AF but this isn't unusual, I usually have a few days of cramps first. It'll happen as I'm at the big family lunch this afternoon 😅 @dabs9 Fascinating about luteal phase remaining the same length, I looked back at my cycles and this seems to add up! I never knew 🤣

@GeoSmed Glad you had a lush sleep, you deserve to relax for a bit and make the most of being able to drink haha. ❤️

@Annapolis35 So glad we're on the same page re things not being quite right with the embryo the months it doesn't happen! Our bodies are doing what they are supposed to. And that makes sense yours is being extra careful.

I hope my AF arrives today so some of us are aligned again 🤣❤️

Amy95 · 03/06/2023 11:41

GeoSmed · 03/06/2023 11:11

Wow this thread moves fast!!

sorry to hear of all the bad news @Amy95 @GCS34 @LeopardLover and May babies definitely suck haha. It’s good you have a holiday planned @Amy95 so just enjoy that and try to forget about everything.

@LeopardLover I am pretty sure I’ve had a few months where something has implanted and failed, and I see it as sort of positive really, our bodies are capable and is just waiting for the right one to come along! I think mine may be being extra careful following the miscarriage and see that as a good thing (although it’s frustrating waiting!)

I hope you all have sunny and lovely weekends. It’s lovely up here and it’s my birthday Monday so I am ignoring the fact I currently have the Period from hell (perhaps another failed implantation!)

I also have a question I’ve never been sure about. Do you count spotting as first day of period? I only seem to get it when TTC and am never sure when my period starts properly. Or is it full flow? I have no idea and I suspect I’ve been tracking wrong (which also may not help).

I'm so glad I have a holiday booked 🙌 17 days and counting 🥰

@Amy95 do you think you'll continue to track next month?? A walk sounds lovely!

I was out at a homebirth all last night so I'm wrecked.. but would like to go for a walk along the beach as the weather is so nice!! 🌞
Will probs get a Chinese tonight since you've made me crave it ever since yours the other day hahaha xx

Well my app says I'm going ovulate when I'm out there I don't wanna track out there either , so maybe a month off tracking and just seeing what happens is really sounded good to me my oh was gutted this morning because he thought it was going be our month , I'll still join the chat though 🤞❤️ omg I bet you need matchsticks for your eyes , who's homebirth was it ? omg yes Chinese for the win 🙌😋
All you ladies have really helped me this month through the tww I'm so glad I'm made this thread on here so thankyou for putting up with me 🥰
On to June cycle 🤞xx

@Sealover123 I'm out. AF arrived less than an hour after I got a BFN this morning.
So, you know, just to add insult to injury, she basically made me waste £10 or whatever the test cost! She's an absolute delight isn't she... 🙄

I'm a bit unstable emotions wise now. I'm absolutely gutted. Then feel bad for feeling bad- as though I'm saying my little girl isn't enough. 😩 Been a bit teary so good job it's sunny and I can hide behind sunglasses! Xx

Oh no!!! So sorry. Feel like everyone’s getting bad news today 😞 May babies suck anyway. Sorry she’s here. Least we’ll all be in it next week together 🤍 sending hugs. Xx

Sealover123 · 03/06/2023 10:21

@Bubblesandtroubles Aw sorry love; that sucks she arrived right after testing. Argh!!

Don't feel that way, nothing wrong with wanting to add to your little family ❤️ Try to enjoy the sunshine and treat yourself today. A lot of us will be in the June crew!

Sending you ALL the love and so pleased you get to enjoy that vino!! 🥰

It sounds like it was the right decision to take a break so you don't head into dangerous territory. You definitely had a spidey sense!

Flippin eck, it's incredible it showed that it implanted even if it didn't stick. It can work, we just need a sticky little bean for you. Later this month is a fresh start. The Glastonbury week - my fertile week too 🤣

I've convinced myself I implanted this month because of that weird ass pain I had, it just hasn't stuck. I think from all the reading I've done, as sad as it sounds, mine just wasn't a healthy one (because I'm a senior grandma). It actually makes me feel better, because I feel like the process is (probably) working, it's just the top quality egg hasn't been released yet. Obvs I could be way off, there might not have been an egg, no fertilisation blah blah but my gut is telling me that.

I've got a biatch of a period coming, this pain has been relentless for 24 hours! X

Thanks lovely! And the wine tasted amazing. Me and mr georgie worked out I hadn’t drank for 6 weeks cuz of being on the 💉so yeah least that’s a bonus 😂yeah that’s it. Physically and mentally. The amount of hormones that I was injecting was making me weird. And it defo affected my sleep. I cried the other day as my legs hurt from doing legs in the gym 😂🙈

I know I dunno if I’d rather have known or not - I am trying not to micro analyse every thing I did that made it unstick but I don’t think that’s a good mentality! I’m just focusing on the next 2 weeks being away Both weekends with loads on.

yeah that’s totally true. That’s what my consultant said yesterday. Your body will naturally reject it if it’s not like an A++++ embryo. And not all will be based on egg size / maturity etc. being a grandma defo doesn’t count. If it does I’m fucked 😂I have a good feeling for you and @CAGH03 xx

dabs9 · 03/06/2023 09:05

Aw honey. I'm so sorry.
Don't lose your positivity, you're amazing!
And on a really positive note.. you were able to track this cycle and know for sure that your body ovulates and that's amazing!
Hope you're doing something nice today.. or just chilling on the sofa if that's what you fancy 💕 xxx

Don't be sorry I was expecting AF to turn up ❤️ thankyou I am proud that I tracked it , I think we're going go out for a walk have you got anything nice planned xx
