Hi all

@MrsL2019 I don’t know anything about cysts.. I hope it doesn’t cause you any issues, but it sounds like you’re in good hands with it if it does need further intervention?

@GHJ good luck! I prefer the sticks and app, feel like it gives more of an idea what’s going on than smily faces!

@Tiffany88 Hope you’re managing to keep yourself distracted so far!

I’m just approaching my fertile window (if on normal timetable after last cycle’s cp), and I have the lurgy, in bed with a temperature, and feeling massively stressed and overworked. Makes me feel like this cycle is probably a write off already..

How is everyone doing?

I had my scan today which confirmed the endometrioma cyst is back on my left ovary. Its only been 8 months since i had it removed and apparently its quite big. Not sure what this means for me and TTC, i guess ill just keep going until i either fall pregnant or get called back in for surgery again!

Hi ladies thought I'd pop back on, I'm cd13. Intended to use clearblue opks this month but have left it a bit late so just using up the end of the cheapie Amazon sticks I had and trying not to think too much about it. Apparently I should ovulate on Friday if premom is to be believed. I would love to be pregnant at Christmas. Hope you're all doing well Xx

Tiffany88 · 02/12/2023 08:16

@MrsL2019 I do agree

Yes I understand I feel quite a bit of pressure too but I'm just trying to keep busy so I'm not thinking about it too much otherwise it seems to consume all my thoughts

@Tiffany88 BFNs are the devil, but to be honest i find seeing AF just as bad! I know some peoplr would rather see AF than a BFN but its all the same to me!

I feel a lot of pressure this cycle, but im trying to not let it creep into my head. Its just impossible

Tiffany88 · 30/11/2023 09:34

@MrsL2019 our cycles are pretty close together then, I'm feeling positive so far just really nervous if anything I'm worried how I'll feel if we get bfn how are you feeling sorry ti hear about your chemical I've had 1 before too

@BatildaB christmas BFP would be super special! I feel so much pressure this cycle with it being the cycle i fell pregnant with my girl. I feel like if it doesnt happen this cycle i have no idea when it may happen if that makes sense.

@Tiffany88 i think im cd10 but cant be sure after my weird AF this cycle! I usually get my peak around cd15 so i guess we will see. Im going to start opks today, how are you feeling this cycle?

Tiffany88 · 29/11/2023 19:32

What cycle day is everyone on? I'm on Cd6 but my clear blue machine is wanting me to test from tomorrow I'm really hoping for a bfp before Christmas fingers crossed for us all

BatildaB · 29/11/2023 19:23

@MrsL2019 thanks, lots of baby dust your way too! Christmas bfps would be nice.

Would be great if you can get some extra info out of the scan, fingers crossed they can tell you something helpful!

@BatildaB i am so sorry to read this. Sending so much baby dust for this cycle! We can keep each other company on here still!

Im not doing anything different this cycle but i do have a scan on Monday just to check my ovaries for any new endometrioma cysts. Would be handy if they told me if i look like im going to ovulate but im not sure if they will!

BatildaB · 28/11/2023 20:18

@MrsL2019 Thanks but AF was just waiting for me to spend £20 on tests and appeared literally five minutes later! I had kind of lost hope so am just glad to have resolution at this stage and be onto the next cycle. Feel like it’s good to know we can get that far, and I also assume the fact I had some definite symptoms is probably a good sign hormones-wise and that it just wasn’t viable. Hope you have good luck this cycle! Are you doing anything different?

@BatildaB i know digitals require more hcg! If AF isnt here and you get positives on normal tests i wouldnt count yourself out yet! Keeping everything crossed for you

BatildaB · 28/11/2023 11:02

Negative on a clear blue digital at 17dpo/ 2-4 days late, so I guess was a chemical ☹️

@BatildaB how exciting, keeping everything crossed for you🤞

@Tiffany88 of course! Im CD7 so there isnt much between our cycles. Im predicted to ovulate 6th Dec. Im feeling the pressure this month as this cycle marks the cycle i fell pregnant with my girl!

Hiya all I'm wondering I could join this thread AF arrived yesterday

BatildaB · 25/11/2023 13:27

@MrsL2019 it was there and slightly stronger but still faint yesterday and now I’m out of tests! I had a very spendy month so now have to wait till payday on Tuesday to buy more. I don’t want to get too excited as AF would barely be due yet. But my temp is going up still and various symptoms are ongoing so am cautiously optimistic that it’s really happening!

@BatildaB any update? Is the line getting stronger?🤞

@BatildaB absolutely a line there!!!! How exciting, ill save my congratulations for another test just incase. I dont want to jynx anything!

OP posts:
BatildaB · 23/11/2023 18:14

@GHJ thanks, it wasn’t immediate and i didn’t have a timer but it wasn’t ages. So nervous! Will use the last one more carefully with a timer and FMU tomorrow..

GHJ · 23/11/2023 16:54

@BatildaB I definitely see a line, if it appeared within the timeframe I'd say it's a positive, it has colour. Looking forward to hearing your next test to confirm! Tentatively congratulations!!!

BatildaB · 23/11/2023 15:51

My partner thinks I’m hallucinating, but I’m 100% sure this is a line? I only have one test left, so annoyed at myself for using them all up from 8dpo! Going to try and save it at least till tomorrow morning.

GHJ · 22/11/2023 23:29

@MrsL2019 @BatildaB definitely AF here unfortunately so I'm out for this one but at least cycle length improved this time. Feel quite defeated with it as honestly thought this was the one but heyho onwards and upwards. Had the best holiday though.

MrsL2019 · 22/11/2023 19:28

@GHJ i hope the spotting is implantation for you🤞

@BatildaB sore boobs is deffo a good sign!! I know some people get them with AF but i never have!

Im saying CD1 was yesterday, i guess in reality it doesnt really matter if its out by 1 day, i use ovulation tests to know my peak etc anyway!

OP posts:
BatildaB · 22/11/2023 09:23

@MrsL2019 My app says I have another 5 days, but I don’t know why because usually it would be in the next three. Have you got resolution yet or still not clear?

@GHJ pink is better than red right? Good to have the silver lining of a good cycle length if it is AF. I have the opposite issue, I’m happy if I get past 25 days so it feels like my body has to cram a lot of stages in fast to get it all done.

Today I have no information to turn to - no tests, no thermometer, and I forgot to bring my watch charger so not even heart rate (although rose again yesterday). So my symptom spotting is in overdrive. I have two mouth ulcers and quite sore breasts, so am putting those into the hopeful column at least until I test again tomorrow afternoon. 🙃

GHJ · 22/11/2023 05:18

@MrsL2019 supposedly 12dpo today. I have had some spotting pre af the last few cycles, I've also had occasional mid cycle spotting before too so who knows! It's very much pink rather than red currently. I think cd1 is classed as first day of full flow as some people spot for several days before.
