TTC #2

Could be a chemical, I had one last month and took a while to get a positive test but it went a few days after. I really hope that’s not the case for you but apparently a CP is a good sign of fertility and that your body is set up to accept pregnancy, it’s just something was wrong with the make up of that sperm and egg. The not knowing is the worse part so I hope you get an answer soon x

Hopefully.
Everyone in my life is getting pregnant which is difficult.
I've been on and off nauseous all day BUT I would have expected a hint of a line on a test by now if I was pregnant.
I hate this unknown of waiting and not knowing when my period is gonna show

That’s really disappointing from them ☹️ fingers crossed you’re pregnant soon though and don’t need them!

I contacted them when I had the 42 days cycle in October and they basically said they won't do anything unless its been happening for over 6m. It's probably been about that now but who knows when I'll actually be able to get an appointment

Could you go to your GP and explain your cycles to them? My boss started peri menopause at 35 ☹️ I’m sure they’d be happy to run checks for you to make sure everything is ok.

I'm 34.
I had surgery to remove a contraceptive coil at the start of last year and they said everything looked healthy, I was ovulating, no fibroids or pcos or endo, no scarring etc.

How old are you @SkaterChick? Not to put a downer on things but could it be peri menopause if your cycles have become so irregular with no explanation?

I got a clear peak last month (Dec 21) and then ovulation pains Dec 22

My cycles have become really irregular since June/July for some unexplained reason.
I went from 26-28day cycles on the dot to random days my last few have been
28, 26, 32, 28, 42, 32

Sorry I have no idea. Do you know you ovulated last month? I don’t really know how this all works. Just here to share the frustration and confusion. Have you missed periods before?

Cd 38, 16dpo. BFN this morning.

Last few days I've been having lots of discharge that's like ewcm but thinner.
If I'd had a regular 28 day cycle I would be cd 10 and in my fertile window... Is it possible to skip a period and ovulate again? I've taken an opk today as well and it's low ... Will attach a pic of them both.

It's so frustrating when they were regular for the longest of time then have just started going all over the place the last few months.
I was 2 weeks late in October and it's just continued since then.
I tested yest and this morning. Definitely negative.

It is so frustrating. My cycles are usually 27 days but last month mine was 33 days. It’s so hard not to get carried away and symptom spot. Have you tested?

Thank you. I think once I’ve got kidney results I’ll go back and ask more tests/a referral. I think I might have endometriosis and it’s been mentioned a few times over the years but symptoms have never been severe enough to persevere and I had my little girl too.
I feel ovulation so not sure if there’s much point but I’m starting to track ovulation today.

How's everyone doing?
13dpo, cd 35. No signs of AF.
I guess my cycles are no longer a regularly 28 days bang on which is frustrating.
I hate this unknown just waiting for my period to decide to show up so we can move on.

I spent a couple of nights basically upright, I grabbed every extra pillow I could and just attempted to get comfortable ... I got some sleep but wasn't great 😅

@SkaterChick oh no, I hope your cough goes soon. I have heard a few people struggle to get rid of their coughs and they stayed around for a while.

Mine is being challenging. I am currently sat up in bed right now because if I lie down I’m just coughing so badly and it doesn’t stop until I sit back up. Even propped up doesn’t work.

My cough just doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
The drs even gave me an inhaler to try and help.
When I lie down all I can hear is a wheezy rattle when I breath out and it's making it so hard to sleep!
Thankfully ds cough is getting better as at first it was constant through the night which would trip the monitor and wake me up!

Hope you all feel better soon xx

@SkaterChick myself, DH and DS have all been ill too. Bad cold and cough. DS gave it to me on Xmas Eve and DH caught it on Xmas day. So we’ve all been unwell. Just near the end of the cold but the cough is still quite bad for me.

How was everyone's Xmas?
Hubby, DS and myself all had flu so we've seen no friends or family. Still not 100% either

Told myself I wasn't going to symptom spot this month but here we are 😂

CD 29, 7DPO (ovulation cd 23, lh peak cd22), only dtd cd 18.

Yesterday had a sharp twinge of pain lasting about 30 secs or so on the right side, enough to make me go oohh what is that and then it was gone.
Later yesterday a deeper stabby pain on the left side that lasted a min or 2.
Today I caught site of myself getting out the shower and thought huh my nipples look different, on closer inspection they looked a bit dark/purpley. Prob just cause I had an absolute steaming hot shower to try and steam my sinuses a bit but I thought you lot would understand my utter madness at half my brain being illogically wild and trying to convince me it could be pregnancy 😂😂😂

Think AF is due 5-7 days time based on ovulation date.

Hi lovely I don't really have much advice but you could see if go will give you a fertility referral? Cause they say to have fertility checks after ttc for 6m at 35+

Hey ladies.

Bit of a ramble below but if anyone has any advice that would be much appreciated.

9 months in to ttc no 2. Had two previous pregnancies - a MC and my DD. I became pregnant on 1st and 2nd cycles. My DD was born prem at 29 weeks. I’ve had on/off abdo pain for years which has been investigated. Ovulation is so painful and sex can be really uncomfortable. Recently I’ve had worse left side pain and some bleeding. Found I’ve got a swollen kidney so waiting for more tests.

What are the odds of this being related? I’m 35 and don’t want to leave things too long but also no idea what to do, who to see or what I should be having checked. I’ve had ultrasounds and found no cysts etc.

That’s really good to know but sorry you had to go through it ☹️ I’m feeling much better about the whole thing now, I’m just glad the bleeding came on thick and fast if that makes sense?

Something strange I’ve noticed is that I’ve been suffering from a bad eczema flare up since my daughter was born. Since my CP started, the eczema has almost all cleared up so I wonder if I had a hormonal imbalance that’s now correcting itself. Will be interesting to see how things go.

Unfortunately I’ve had a CP. Got some really nice BFPs then started spotting on Friday, got worse yesterday morning and turned in to full AF in the afternoon so at least it’s been quick in that regards.

Will obviously see how long the bleeding lasts but if it’s around the same as normal AF then I’m likely to ovulate on New Year’s Day. We are just going to start TTC straight away, doesn’t appear to be a reason that we need to wait after a CP so fingers crossed.

I've got the vitabotics pregnacare conception ... They were on black Friday sale when I was stocking up on DS well baby vits so thought I might as well give them a go!
