June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

im Awake too @EmPeEfbeen up to pee at 2.30 every morning the last 3 nights and not back to sleep! Have you had bloods at the GP?

A mixture. Hyper mobility syndrome and fibromyalgia. Hypothyroidism. Autism and ADHD so my sleep is pretty terrible. Both fatigue and insomnia 😅 Gluten intolerance. BMI is 33 currently but my diet isn’t too bad. Protein, rice, veg and fruit. Just too many Galaxy Minstrels lol. I take multivitamins every day. I’m old though. 40.

@SureLookgood idea! I’ll see what partner thinks - it’s his mum after all!

@EmPeEfso sorry to read how you’re feeling - apologies if you’ve already said but how’s your general health etc?

I’m feeling hopeless. CD10 going into 11 if I take the first day of chemical bleeding as CD1, and my OV are pathetic, just like during the month after my first chemical.
I’ve had EWCM over the last two days, but I’m having to manually adjust the tests in Premom to get these scores, as it’s registering so many close to, or actually zero.

My temperature also shot up today to above my old cover lines. Just weird.

On top of that I’m hugely bloated. I’ve put on a ton of weight over the last two weeks, have horrible cramps, and my stomach is a balloon. I have no idea what’s going on and I feel like giving up if every month after a chemical pregnancy means I’m out then as well. As I didn’t record an OV last time and I don’t think I will this time either.

@rainycoldboo oh god. When will people ever learn to just keep their mouths shut?! Could you put zero wine into a normal wine bottle and make sure you or DP get the drinks?

@overwork what is with that AI thing??
I don't really know what happens if you don't ovulate. If you ovulated later is there still a chance? Have you taken a test at all?

I wonder if the AI that has mysteriously joined the chat is also TTC?
Anyone know what happens if you don’t ovulate in a cycle? I don’t test so I’ll never be sure, but I was ill over expected ovulation time this month (I think Covid but I didn’t test). I did wonder if it might mess with my cycle. Everything is pointing towards my period coming but I’m now several days late. Generally quite regular. Definitely not pregnant as couldn’t have sex at the right time as I really wasn’t well enough. So now I’m wondering if being ill could have delayed ovulation and therefore delayed my period? Or maybe I didn’t ovulate at all. And now I’ve typed all this out, what’s the bet that my period will arrive tomorrow!

Good luck referring @DoubleDandelionand sorry to hear this month hasn’t worked out for you @Esssaxx

@SureLook💯!! MIL will be suspicious as soon as I turn up pretty much, last time we were up there she said something just in my earshot about ‘not long until sure is up the duff’ or words to that effect….!

@HayleyD84 ah, that's annoying. DP works shift now since our loss so timing DTD is trickier now! Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

@Esssa sorry to hear AF has arrived. It's disheartening when you've done everything. Sending hugs ❤️

@DoubleDandelion sounds like a plan! You're welcome 😊 I'm good thanks. I think I had my peak overnight but of course I've ran out of LH strips 🙃 more coming tomorrow so I'll test again then. We DTD yesterday and will again tonight so hopefully we're covered 🤞🏻

@rainycoldboo oh really 🙈 will they be suspicious straight away??

@SureLookthere def the sort of people who won’t buy that 😂😂

@ForGiddyDreamer got everything crossed for Friday! So sorry to hear about DPs Dad, you’ve always got us here to offload to. Sometimes anonymous strangers on the internet might be exactly what you need.

@Esssa oh I’m so sorry to hear, that’s so frustrating 😫 The absolute best of luck with the next cycle 🤞🏻

Thanks @SureLook going to be a big girl and self refer into the midwife service on Tues. Thank you for always taking the time to give advice, how are you doing?

Congratulations @FarAwayBird @DoubleDandelion unfortunately I can't make it a trifecta with you. Temp dropped at 7dpo and kept falling. Cd1 today. Feeling miffed because we put all the efforts in this month. Hmph.

I'm due on between today and Thursday (26-28CD)
tested this morning and bfn so rekon I'm out this month.

I'll be away when I'm ovulating sharing a room with the kids so don't think we are going to get a chance next month either 😫

@ForGiddyDreamerbest of luck for Friday 🤞🏻

@HayleyD84 hello and welcome! Sorry to hear of your loss ❤️

@DoubleDandelion I'd second what rainy said, go by your luteal phase length.

@ForGiddyDreamer I'm sorry about your previous experience. In my hospital you have to walk through the midwife clinic to get to the EPU. Why is it designed like that?? It should be it's own separate building entirely!
Did the fertility clinic call you back? That's great that you got put on aspirin and progesterone.
Sorry to hear about DPs Dad. You've a lot going on x

@rainycoldboo could you say you've got something important in work next week that you've to be on the ball for?

@amey44 sorry you're feeling down. Do what's best for you x

You're making sense @DoubleDandelion DPs dad has been transferred to palliative so I can't keep dumping on him either about it. Have to pull my big pants up and put a face on for him. Just have to accept I can do no more and it's in Friday's hands now.

Thanks @rainycoldboo

Wishing you all the luck in the world @ForGiddyDreamerfingers crossed for stickiness

That sounds so incredibly tough @ForGiddyDreamer she can encourage you to look for the positives all she wants and not to over analyse symptoms but your past experience always pulls you back there. Sometimes I think our brains trick us into thinking “if I just see it coming or if I can predict it, it won’t hurt as much” but it’s not really the case, it hurts just as bad whether we’ve been really anxious or not, sometimes that’s helped me force myself into not obsessing over things a little- not sure I’m making sense!

@DoubleDandelion I think it just helps to feel I have did something. Doctor says we'll not really know what's happening until Friday. Says I am not to check my cervix or look for progression in my tests anymore - says I will drive myself mad. Don't want to put scud on myself but I haven't had much more light pink today and the cramps feel more like a sideways pull than a downward pull (which is what AF feels like for me). She said the positive to take away is that I am getting pregnant. It's just difficult that it's the third time in 7 months.

Got everything crossed for you @ForGiddyDreamer. Do you feel reassured to be on the progesterone aspirin?

My update: did a blood draw and I am back on Thursday for another. A doctor saw me and put me on aspirin and progesterone. We'll know when the second draw comes back on Friday what's going on.

Good to see everyone's BFPs progressing nicely. Fingers crossed for sticky beans all round!

Sending lots of hugs to you @amey44

Congrats on the line progressions girls! Those BFP are looking great.

@ChaE05 with my first son I caught literally first month trying.
With my second son it took 2 years!
With the MC we wasnt trying was a nice surprise.

My husband said that he doesn't want to try for long like we did with our second son, my DH is 47 so he said if we haven't caught by 12 months he doesn't want to try anymore.

@amey44sorry you're feeling low sending hugs x

@amey44 I am sorry you are feeling so low. I am sending you a big hug ❤I think if you feel you need the time to be alone and gather yourself, then take it xx

Just typical that I've had a missed call from the fertility clinic that my GP referred me on to. They said they're busy and will have to call me back.

Still no sign of AF yet now CD36😣I genuinely feel so emotional/hormonal i’ve had to cancel plans because of how awful I feel. I don’t know if it’s even worth going and getting another test because i’ve obviously already tested a few days ago.
