@Marie1990xomg wtf is that about?! How frustrating!! Maybe DTD just to be safe!? Wouldn’t it be great to take a tablet and you’re pregnant 🤣 no EDD yet she said they would see how I’m measuring at the next scan and update it then but I reckon it’s 22/23rd October! X

@Danikiyessss amazing amazing news!!!! Bet you’re relieved now and can relax a bit! Have they given you your EDD now??

I’ve just done an opk again, it was very low again tests and now increasing again, wtf is going on 😅. Of course I did it with a hcg (I wouldn’t normally but it was next to it in the box (caved and ordered some)). Obviously negative, wasn’t expecting anything, but it’s annoying me these OPK lines!

@Danikithat was my first thought to be honest, but hoping it isn’t! She seems much better tonight, hopefully get a decent nights rest.

8am!!! Wow that is an amazingly early scan time 😂. So good that you don’t have to wait all day! Or even all morning 😂

@Marie1990xoh god the poor thing I hope not norovirus? 😭 it seems to be going round everywhere, really hoping not to get it I got it twice off my son in the space of a few weeks last year and it was honestly horrendous had me floored! Strangely this week has actually gone really quick! My app is at 8am so thankfully won’t be hanging round half the day as that would put me over the edge 😆

Marie1990x · 13/03/2025 19:26

@Danikioh of course your scan tomorrow! That’s come round so quick! Bet it’s dragged for you but this week has flown! Let us know how it goes!

Nice you’ve got a few days off, don’t go too wild on the non alcoholic bevs for paddy’s day 😂😂.

my daughter has been poorly with a tummy bug and cold last few days and now I’m feeling uncomfortably bloated, so no doubt it’s going to catch up with me soon enough 😣😣

@Marie1990xhaha defo not expiring! It’s such a process tho isn’t it, that’s what really pisses my husband off. Feeling ok today still quite nauseas so keeping the snacks going! Then I’m off the next 4 days so that’s nice, scan in the morning and then paddy’s day on Monday, not that il be doing anything wild 😆

Marie1990x · 13/03/2025 13:24

@Danikiyeah that’s why I’m in panic mode with not knowing how long I’ve got without expiring, unless I have already 😂.

Thats so weird being able to see it happening 😅.

how are you feeling today?

OP posts:
Daniki · 12/03/2025 21:16

@Marie1990x I know it's awful to have these kind of things go on so long, for women we have a finite span of time like! But the person doing your procedure will be able to tell you how your tubes are so you have a fair idea which is good, you will be able to see it happening on the screen and just ask them questions 🤣

Marie1990x · 12/03/2025 20:50

@Daniki oh good glad you're feeling better. Hopefully it's not too much of a rough ride sickness wise, just keep remembering it's all good signs 😊.

Haha yeah that would be nice. Hopefully my follow up consultation isn't ages after the procedure, it'll be getting close to a year since I started the process by the time I have it 😅

@Marie1990x all the better to be more relaxed and hopefully you get a nice surprise! 🙌🏻 otherwise a good flush might be all you need 🤣 it's coming and going I can feel it there but it's not too bad thankfully

Marie1990x · 12/03/2025 17:52

@Daniki oh gosh you poor thing! What a time ey! Had your sickness eased throughout the day?

Yeah looking forward to a good flush 😂. Can tell I don't have much hope this time as I still haven't got any tests, usually I'd be stacked up by now 😅

Daniki · 12/03/2025 17:16

@Lilly000 your doctors will defo cancel a cycle because of that, and I know if it was me I would try anyway 🤣 probably dangerous advice but it's such a hard bloody journey a cancelled cycle is infuriating!

Lilly000 · 12/03/2025 14:39

I’ve been having fertility treatment and I take clomiphene citrate (Ovinum) on days 2-6 of my cycle. I went today for the ultrasound and to inject to start ovulation and my ultrasound showed 6 follicles, so the clinic has cancelled this cycle and told me not to TTC.

should I try anyway? Has anyone else had too many follicles and still tried?

I had two follicles the last few months and got nothing. So doesn’t this just increase my chances of getting at least one? The chances of 3+ must still be so so slim, right?
I don’t want to take health risks but I don’t want to waste a month either! ☹️

and while they said 6 large follicles, I’m not sure all should be classed as mature enough to be considered?

@Marie1990x I can't really remember. When I was pregnant with him I went into hospital at 9 weeks, I was in an awful flare of my Crohn's and I was very sick and I remember they didn't know if the vomiting was pregnancy or Crohn's related 🤣 iv such a dramatic life! Haha I know it's weird I'm half reassured by the sickness 🙈 oh no defo not out don't be thinking like that! And sure no time now til your tubes get a wee flush out! 😆

Marie1990x · 12/03/2025 09:45

@Daniki it's kind of just made me think I'm already out this cycle too 😅. To be honest I'm looking forward to next cycle when I don't have to worry about ttc since we can't. Will be a weight off for sure.

Eeeekkkkk that's such a good sign everything's as should be though. Did you have sickness with your son? Yeah get the toast down you and ginger biscuits!

OP posts:
Daniki · 12/03/2025 08:26

@RRAEE ah no 🥺

@Marie1990x oh poor thing! I wouldn't be stressing I doubt you have missed your ovulation anyway! I am very nauseas this morning, trying to keep eating toast to stave it off 🤢

@whatdoyouthink123456 ah that's great! What have you been doing to lose the weight? Sounds like you're doing brilliantly 😊.

@Daniki it's gone a bit lower this morning so I'm still non the wiser. I'm going to stop doing the OPK's now though, it's too much 😂. My daughter was up all night poorly so I don't have the energy to be dtd again 😅

OP posts:
RRAEE · 12/03/2025 01:49

Well AF finally showed, back to CD 1 for me 😪

Daniki · 11/03/2025 21:59

@Marie1990x that is unusual! Hopefully it wasn't a failed ovulation, I feel like it wasn't as you had the stitch pain nd all! Maybe it's a fluke? Too early I wonder to be anything pregnancy related 🤣🤞🏻

whatdoyouthink123456 · 11/03/2025 21:58

@Marie1990x

I'm good thanks. How are you getting on?

Iv still got a week or so until ovulation. Il start testing this time next week unless I got symptoms before.

This week iv had quite a few people say iv lost weight so Im hoping this weight loss will make a difference.

I'm also super distracted planning the wedding which is good. Iv said that I'm going to diet for the wedding and hopefully il be at fighting weight soon. If we aren't pregnant after the wedding we'l go see fertility specialist. So we have a bit of a plan.

@Daniki oh amazing, glad he slept through and not such an early wake up time 😂.

I'm utterly confused. I just did an opk (no idea why, guess I missed peeing on things) and it's darker than I'd expect. Obviously not positive, but after my peak it went down to basically nothing and now this? Really hope it wasn't a failed ovulation and attempting to ovulate again, I'm too tired for this 😅
