Good luck Lucie let us know how it goes.

Lots of symptoms going around and im not even in the fertile week jealous much!!

iamhopeful · 13/10/2014 13:37

Hopping on…if I can?

CD 19, thought I had ovulated last week around CD 15 but having odd creamy cm that is stretchy (sorry for TMI) so unsure what is going on, tried using opk but think I used them badly, slight line around cd14, but then nothing, again slight line on day 17, then ran out of tests, very confused and desperately trying not to read too much into it all.

I have been following everyone on here and it is reassuring to hear of some bfp's. Either way for me this month at least reading this thread reminds me I am not alone in this journey despite not telling anyone in real life!

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 13/10/2014 14:47

Hope it goes well lucie

treacle that is some serious dtding, you deserve a bfp for sure after all that! Fx :)

Welcome iam, good luckGrin

Jenny,yes it's possible to have cramps and still get a bfp.

Blueberry, hopefully it is just a bit of left over blood.

Lucie, good luck with scan.

Magrat, loving the apple dream Grin

I didn't buy the dual opks. I like the ic's for testing often and also use cb smiley if unsure.

Thepurplegiraffe · 13/10/2014 15:16

Marking my place, even though I am supposed to be on the November bus.

Blueberry I had exactly the same yesterday, I was assuming it was that but also first af after mc so all a bit confusing.

Hope the scan goes well Lucie

TheProofIsInThePudding · 13/10/2014 15:18

I thought it was odd that only one extra page had been added since this morning, but a new thread - that makes sense!

Good luck with your scan lucie.
I'm trying to be mindful and patient and accept whatever nature throws at me. I'll send out some positive calming vibes for others in limbo-land!

lucieloos · 13/10/2014 15:36

Thanks everyone, just about to leave work! It's only 10 mins away. Will report back later.

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 13/10/2014 15:42

Weirdly I have also had a dildo scan in the past (not fertility related) but they did poke my ovaries with it.y own fault - they were going to do a normal US but I forgot to drink the water beforehand so they had to go inside as thy couldn't see a thing! Not the most pleasant experience but wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, hope it goes well lucie

Purple My bodies just a bitch...although the clomid could be messing with my cycle a bit I guess. I did think that AF was weirdly short so I guess I was right! (Im supposed to be on the November bus to lol)

This afternoon I have decided I am to stressed and that I need to do something about it.

Going to start exercising again and try and take some time each day to chill out and breathe.

ChandlersFarang · 13/10/2014 15:48

Thanks everyone, you're all lovely! Smile love the new bus title.

Got my fingers tightly crossed that your scan is a stress-free experience lucie, whatever it shows... Let us know how you get on.

Some cracking symptoms on here by the way! Good luck ladies x x

xBlueberry88x · 13/10/2014 15:57

talking of dildo cams I have to have another one next Tuesday to see whats going on with the ovaries.

It doesnt hurt ladies but when the doc is moving it around all angles with out thinking about your insides you do want to slap him lol.

Chandlers Sorry to read your bodies still not doing what its supposed to!! Least there is a plan of action though!

beakerandburette · 13/10/2014 16:05

I had a dildo scan whilst pg with DD at 5 weeks. Was not the most pleasant experience and OH announced afterwards that it would have turned him on if the sonographer was hot (she was 60 and overweight..) sometimes I really worry about what goes on in his brain... :o

Nordicmom · 13/10/2014 16:10

Marking my place

Nordicmom · 13/10/2014 16:11

Thanks for the kind words people . Was thinking of trying the soy maybe as a last resort although DH is very sceptical since ov doesn't seem the issue

CoffeeOne · 13/10/2014 16:22

Hopping on but won't be here long. AF due in 2 days and bfn today.

lucieloos · 13/10/2014 17:31

Ahhh I'm home and somewhat relieved! Smile It wasn't particularly pleasant but the procedure was nothing to worry about at all.

She has given my insides the all clear which is a relief really as sometimes I get these dragging pulling pains which I had convinced myself was cysts or something. She said everything looked beautiful, no lumps or bumps, the womb lining was really smooth. She counted quite a few follicles and could tell my body was gearing up to ovulate soon so no problems there. She said that from the number of follicles that maybe my amh wasn't quite as low as what the blood test had come out as. Thats not to say it's high obviously, I still have a low reserve but she said that doesn't affect things on a monthly basis but would just indicate that I wouldn't for instance want to leave it another few years before starting to try.

She said that I'm young?!? I said I thought I wasn't ha ha but i suppose in terms of people that they treat for ivf I am relatively young.

Soooo she said there is every chance that we will conceive naturally although with dhs results it could be that instead of saying having a 25% chance each month it may be a 10%. She said motility can be boosted with certain vitamins which I shall get.

I feel a little more relieved. She has said keep trying for now and if maybe by the new year nothing has happened then consider ivf which would be next step. I think that only has about 40ish % success rate mind but I will worry about that at a later date!!

She also said that lots of people conceive with lower sperm motility and lower amh but they never have the tests so never know about it.

Oh and she also said I don't need that day 21 progesterone blood test. She said I would know if my progesterone was low if I was spotting for days before my period. I also don't need the fsh and lh ones as they measure something fairly similar to amh but she said amh was the better one to get done so thats all covered. I don't need the dye test either to check for blocked tubes as I haven't had any ops and there is nothing to suggest they would be blocked.

So that's that. She was really lovely fair play. I think she could tell I was stressed about it all and it has put my mind at ease somewhat. We will just carry on for a few more months and see what happens.

Frolicacid · 13/10/2014 17:52

I love pregoween!!

Well done want. I hope the thread starting charm works for you.

Thanks for looking at my chart English. Tonight I will obsess over googling estrogen surges on temping charts.

The apple dream is brilliant magrat! I dreamt of giving a stranger a foot massage the other night- any ideas what that means? Wink

I've done a lot of driving today and could smell burning rubber in my car constantly. It all looked fine, so I'm going to ignore it and conclude that its's a SYMPTOM!! I'm also still obsessed by my nipples -but think that any soreness I'm feeling is more to do with the constant prodding/checking than being an actual SYMPTOM!

Great news about your scan Lucie.

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 13/10/2014 17:58

lucie so glad it was good news and that everything looks normal :) Hopefully you will get a really big and fat bfp soon, hope the vitamins will help!

Tranquilitybaby · 13/10/2014 17:59

Sounds like a very positive appointment lucie glad all looked ok and fingers crossed you get your bfp soon. CD28 (AF is usually cd27/28) for me here, no sign of AF yet, but no symptoms either (well except sore tingly boobs without my bra on but I do get that some months before AF anyway). Not sure how long to wait before testing. Hmm

Jackiebrambles · 13/10/2014 18:01

Lucie that all sounds really positive :)

Frolic I smelt burnt rubber in my office all day on Friday and nobody else could! I was 9dpo.

Frolicacid · 13/10/2014 18:18

I thought I'd read that someone else had that jackie. I can't smell it now I'm home- maybe I should take the car to the garage!!
