@GeoSmed how are you feeling today?

Yeah I've had tests at our fertility clinic.
I had 30 follicles on my hycosy scan but only 1 dominant. My bloods are normal so they say I don't have it.

I've had laser hair removal on my face for years anyway (v dark hair) so no idea if that would be getting worse or not had i left it. And have had spotting pre period for about 6-7 years now.
Still spotting today yeah, I'm only CD24 today so that's what's stumping me! If this was happening in a weeks time I'd be like yep.. period is coming and this is normal. But the spotting all throughout cycle is not normal for me 🤷‍♀️ can only put it down to the maca root.

@LeopardLover Sorry you're getting AF symptoms. She's such a bitch I really hate her!
I normally have a longer cycle if I ovulate late. Luteal phase tends to last 14 days regardless of when I Ov but I guess that might be different for others. How are you feeling?? Xx

I’m okay hun. Thank you for checking in you’re super sweet. I think I’m actually okay. I slept the best I have in a week and that shows that the anxiety around it all was too much. I have really struggled this week and it really started to affect me as I started beating myself up about it, so a break I think is vital atm. Plus I won’t lie - that wine last night was DEVINE!!!

how are you doing and thanks for checking in 🤍wow 30 is still a lot more than you should have. And the hair. Wonder why it’s never been picked up. I Jusy looked through our ivf forms and the criteria mention fsh levels. Did they check that? I’ll share the form below.

that sounds promising tho! I think it’s definitely a sign. I swear this TWW for you guys has been an aggggggeeeee. At least you’re not in a really long luteal phase this month right? Thinking of you all. Xxx

@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

Sealover123 · 03/06/2023 09:30

@Amy95 oh no, so sorry to you and the other ladies who have had AF arrive 😔 get this week out of the way and then June crew for the win!!!

Who's still in with a chance? @LeopardLover @Bubblesandtroubles ?Anyone else? Sorry been hard to catch all the updates on the thread; I've been busy this week. Still no AF for me although my cycle was really long last month so I'm not really sure if my period will be late again.

Bubblesandtroubles · 03/06/2023 09:13

I'm sorry @Amy95 it's just rubbish isn't it. Xx

dabs9 · 03/06/2023 09:05

Bubblesandtroubles · 03/06/2023 08:38

@dabs9 don't apologise! I'm 14dpo I think (dont temp so not 100% sure on timing) was expecting AF this morning so just waiting on that now.
I'd clearly got my husband's hopes up too as he looked really surprised it was negative bless him. Xx

Bless him that's so sweet he went to buy your tests! 🥹
I guess there could be a chance you ovulated later?? And so you still have a chance 🤞 x

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

Morning all.

My husband went out and bought a pack of tests before I got up this morning bless him. No sign of AF so I took it.

BFN 😢

Was our first month of trying for no 2 so would've been really lucky I guess. I'd totally let my mind wander and get ahead of myself 🙄

I didn't know whether I was 100% ready in the days before we started but decided to just go for it. This TWW has cemented I'm 1000% ready. So I'm in the June crew I guess! Xx

Aw I'm sorry, I hadn't read this message before I sent my last! 😔
What dpo are you today?

I suppose it's good for you to confirm how much you want this for sure and this month you can go in to it feeling confident in your decision! Xx

dabs9 · 03/06/2023 08:27

Bubblesandtroubles · 03/06/2023 00:12

@HoneyBlossoms112 welcome and congratulations! Hopefully you're setting off a chain of BFPs! I can't imagine being away for work and having to keep that under your hat!!
@GCS34 very impressed at how you've talked yourself round. Definitely treat yourself next few days. Enjoy your wedding next week (I'm at one too- imagine if it's the same one and we just don't realise 🤣) then, as you say, start again when you're physically and mentally rested and refreshed.
@LeopardLover any sign of AF or is it just a feeling you have? You might be wrong!! 🤞🤞

I didn't buy my test today as I ended up having a nap when the toddler napped 😬
So do I a) test tomorrow but later on with not FMU- or b) do I wait til Sunday or c) is both irrelevant because I will wake up to see AF has rudely invited herself over anyway? Xx

I vote for test today with not fmu AND tomorrow with fmu! 🤣

Really want to start seeing some bfps in this thread to give us all a boost hhaha x

LeopardLover · 03/06/2023 08:07

Morning everyone!! 💜 Who is testing today?

@Bubblesandtroubles What are you thinking? Can you wait until tomorrow morning? 😅 If yes, I vote this option! Unfortunately no AF yet but it's coming. If I hadn't experienced early pregnancy cramping before I'd be confused, but I know from experience it feels completely different! Unfortunately I have those undeniable dull aches. It's taken it's time though, but this happened last month too. Maybe my app is right and it'll arrive tomorrow, even though it'll make my cycle longer than normal!

Does cycle length change if you ovulate later? That's magic if so!

8 is one of my favourite numbers! Hoping this is the cycle for you 💖 definitely test on a nice FRER when you can but that line is CLEAR!

Hahaha I feel like you're old enough but because you're Irish I'll let you off 😉

Omg so funny, I shall get them on my Spotify and educate myself 😂

HoneyBlossoms112 · 02/06/2023 20:47

@LeopardLover thank you! We have been TTC ‘properly’ for 8months (tracking ovulation), but I’ve been off the pill for around a year.
Im almost 35! I actually don’t know who 112 are! 😭 but after googling, I suspect that it’s because I’m Irish 😂 the age fits I think! Haha.

Thank you darling. That’s a really lovely message. Yes I think my body is just not playing. Interestingly for you, she said with pcos it is so erratic and what works one month, might not the next. And it’s obviously in its ‘back off’ phase at the moment where it’s resistant to it. She said we could carry on another week and throw more drugs at it but it starts to get dangerous when you go over 2 weeks as you’re messing with you natural cycle and body.

unfortunately it’s money out of pocket even if it is cancelled. We’ve had 3 rounds now, totalling £3,600 and we’ve only managed one trigger but it is what it is. We’re in a fortunate position that we can self fund but obviously not for ever and not if it starts messing with our mental health as it has this month.

I weirdly feel calm from it all and I think in my head on Tuesday I knew something wasn’t going right as I could tell and just had a spidey sense. Maybe that July one I predicted after all. The most frustrating thing was that the bloods they did after the trigger and in our TWW showed that we ovulated, it fertilised, it became and embryo and it implanted but just not deep enough to stick. Which I guess is good and bad.

how are you getting on? Thanks for the love girls (@A95x @Bubblesandtroubles @CAGH03 @Favofit @LeopardLover). It really does mean a lot xxx

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

@GCS34 omg firstly... I can tell I love your house!!! 😍

And secondly... that must be so frustrating to go through all the meds, pay all that money and then not be able to trigger. I guess looking at it from the view of your body not being ready is a really good perspective.. because we all want our bodies to be ready, healthy and in the best condition for growing our bubbas.

I'm wondering more and more if I have PCOS. everything you guys who do have it say is just making me feel it's more likely.. but apparently I don't.
Absolutely incredible that you know you had an implanted embryo! To know you can get to that point can only be a positive thing 💕

Actually think what's going on with me is PMS. The spotting, miserable mood and my boobs and nips are becoming increasingly tender. All pre period signs for me. June crew here we come xx

Haha thank darl. I have n obsession with painting thing black. 😂 I know and it is, but I’ve got to think of my body and it’s not going to be healthy to carry on this month. Health is wealth right? So I just think sometimes cutting your losses is often the safest and best thing to do. It has taken me a day to get to that conclusion mind - had you messaged at 12:00 I’d have said fuck the world, fuck my body, fuck wanting kids and I’m going to Hawaii. 😆

have you had tests with anyone else other than the gp? Cuz like you I don’t have the symptoms just loads of follicles each month. Might be worth pushing the gp on it? Happy to talk if you ever want to ask questions. Tho as we know, my body is an arsehole so I can’t guarantee I’ll know 😂

bless you. Have you still got the spotting? Good in a way you’re coming on. Shows your body is working! When was your ‘expected’ period day? And yes. May babies suck anyway 😂 Xx
