September TTC thread 💛

Oh my goodness. Well there’s no need to go asking AI about that line is there! That’s a whopper, Congratulations!

@overwork looks like we’re pregnant together again. I’m slightly freaking out as I was so convinced we were out this month and I’ve taken so much medication that you shouldn’t take when pregnant. Still early days as you said…

@Alex2022 We were told it was fine to but tbh I had no real desire to! We did it the night we had the IUI and then I think once more?

Congrats @overwork !

I think a relaxed approach is probably a bit easier for everyone involved @CityKityso long as it’s what you want really (once you get over the shock!)

I have to admit I’m a bit behind on who’s got BFPs this month or is back in for the next cycle.

@overwork that would be funny if we’re positive the same month again! Will be great to have someone else juggling a 2yr old and pregnant! Still no AF but I’m not discounting that being sick this cycle and being on antibiotics may have messed with my cycle. Finally got my hands on a pack of tests and will text first thing tomorrow. You might be able to tell from my lack of rush to test that I think a positive might seriously freak me out (I hope that doesn’t sound insensitive to those on multiple rounds of trying - I think the idea of 2 is just overwhelming to me)

Sorry meant to say I did have had some gas also, not sure if that’s the cyclogest though 🤨 @blackberryhill

@overworkhaha, but so right, take it and remain positive, you’ve got this! 💪

@blackberryhillyour holiday sounded perfect 😋 I also feel very normal, it’s weird! Did you continue to DTD post procedure until your test date?

I read that other people on here were doing it and I don’t know what else to use it for, it seemed like a good introduction to it Plus it told me congratulations which I appreciated because my partner thinks both me and ChatGPT (and now you too I suppose) are all seeing things so I needed someone to be excited for me.
I am obviously taking everything very cautiously, I think at my age and this early on the miscarriage chance would be quite high. But as someone said the other day, today I’m apparently pregnant and I’m excited!

@overwork I definitely see what you’re seeing!

@Alex2022 I felt very normal from 8DPO onwards, around the time the trigger left my system. I was convinced it hadn’t worked because I felt so normal - looking back, the only possible symptom is being very gassy but tbh we’ve been away on holiday so that may or may not be down to eating too much pizza and ice cream!

And yes - I’ll be on cyclogest twice a day until some point towards the end of the first trimester (clinic haven’t said specifically when to come off, need to check with them!)

I love that you just enjoyed yourself, did you feel any early symptoms or just feel as normal until testing day? Read futher down you weren’t loving the cyclogest, nor am I 🤢 Although I only take it once a day currently, some are on it twice a day but if it works it works!! Will you take it now up until 10weeks, that’s what I’ve been advised if successful. And do as you wish on beta bloods, your chilled approach is working!

@Marvelftwyou’re not out until it comes, sending positive vibes your way x
@YKM2829definitely go and get the progesterone, it’s worth the try, it may be the help you need x
@overworki also see it, and how interesting you put it in chat gpt 😄 the strong will come! x

@CityKityeverything crossed for you! 🙏 x

I was so surprised when it popped up. Then my partner said he couldn’t see it so I had to turn to AI. Be amusing if we were pregnant at the same time again @CityKity! And what is it with these 2 year olds and naps? I thought they napped until atleast 2.5 but some days he doesn’t already (and sadly it doesn’t result in an earlier bedtime)

@overwork I see a faint line! And honestly I never ever see the faint ones that people post.

I’m CD27 and was due AF yesterday/today but still nothing. Feeling a bit nauseous today and desperate to test today but off work with a toddler who’s dropped his nap so I don’t have a second free today.

Vf bfp Monday Tuesday, and Wednesday, barely any progression, AF was due Tuesday, no test yesterday.
Spotting started an hour ago.
Bfp about 15 mins ago and darker than the previous but not as dark as I'd like with the spotting in order to not worry as much.
This is getting to be nearly every mo th a faint bfp, AF late by a few days then bleed and it's gone.
😔
Feel like I don't even wanna go sit around the early pregnancy assessment unit again for them to do their tests, and say its gone again.
Feel like just staying home and watching the bleeding and do some regular tests. But then I also think if the bfp is real and maybe I do need progestrone like I thought then I need it ASAP to keep this one.
I don't even know what to do with it all anymore.

Well I woke up this morning and had a bit of feeling (I know not to read into feelings) so I sent my partner to the chemist first thing whilst I crossed my legs. ChatGPT thinks I’m pregnant (I’m 9/10 DPO). Kind of wish I hadn’t tested now though as it would have been lovely to see a nice strong positive!

Thanks everyone - still finding it hard to believe! First scan is booked with my clinic for three weeks today. I've decided not to do beta bloods for now, I know I'd become obsessive about it and ultimately it won't change anything.

@Alex2022 I wish I could say I did anything special but really I just tried to take it easy (skipped running and did yoga and walking instead) and enjoy myself as best as I could. I did stop drinking and cut back on coffee but I've done that lots before and it never made any difference.

So lovely to see positives for some of you!

CD1 today, period finally came. Definitely was a chemical bested this period is something else 🤯😨

I had yesterday to cry, storm, wallow and veg out and today is a new day and we start again!

So nice to see so many positives this month & sorry to those still trucking on, I’m with you! @blackberryhillreally nice to hear about your positive in particular, I am just 4days post IUI. Your positive is giving me hope. Did you do anything in particular over the ttw to help the outcome? X
