[Shellbell0403]

Hey everyone,
If you would to chat, rant or discuss TTC with PCOS with a lovely group of people going through the same thing and with some wonderful knowledge and experience then please join us ☺

Will post the links for stats etc shortly ☺

Hey there not long we started really trying in Feb, mc 5weeks ago, now for the last few days, sore boobs, thrown up 3 times since yesterday evening, constant nausea. I hate gherkins but devoured some today. Got 2 neg results though. Sorry for tmi but really nasty discharge today when I went to bathroom. So I just don't know, I really don't want to get my hopes up but not sure what to think..

Fingers crossed for you . It did that for me when I had a chemical :(

mysterious what a load of shit. Thats awful. Have you actually been referred to clinic etc? Can you call the consultants office directly? x

No news for me, just plodding along with it, feel very down in the dumps with it all because there's no wayou of knowing if the clomid has acctually worked/ working or not. I feel like this is a 4ww rather than a 2ww

Yes we were referred in december and were meant to go in march but they cancelled our appointment because we didnt have all of our test results, despite me calling doctors and checking that the date we had to sort tests was ok in relation to the appointment. Turns out it wasnt. And its taken 3.5 months just to sort the appointment for OH semen analysis, which is completely insane to me. I'm very wary of going back to the doctor because of how they spoke to me last time.

I called the lady on the referral who said to fax her the results so she can just send me an appoinment rather than waiting for another referral, I'm not really sure what else I can do. Feel like it's a fine line between not getting fobbed off and being too pushy, you know?

Seems to be a lot different between here and England's way of doing things? Strange!!

amy i feel abit like that today!! Feeling as though this is another unsuccessful month!!

shell I'm just feel clueless. The temping thing is shite as are the opks. How am I supposed to know if/when I've ovulated!!!

amy when you have EWCM they say that's ovulation.. normally the last day of that! So it's when it's clear and really stretchy between your fingers.. sorry for tmi! Any joy? (Sorry)

Where are you then shell?

mysterious i live just outside Glasgow 😁 xx

shell it's just been water for days. Very wet but not stretchy at all. What do you lot think of this OPK from this morning (after 4 minutes)

I can't be 100% sure but is there another very faint pink line there Amy?

Hmmm I think the lines have to be the same level of darkness if it is lighter it is supposedly negative. However, OPKs are not always reliable and watery CM is a good sign too xxx

Yeah I think the test line has to be the same as the control line or darker, as the hormone is always there, just stronger at ovulation time.

I made the mistake of thinking a line was a line (like on an HPT) and got very excited. But someone on here mentioned that it has to be the same or darker, then I read the instructions and realised that was the case.

It's really frustrating isn't it! PCOS does not help either. I've read OPK's are pretty much useless - I still use them though, just out of curiosity.

I also don't believe in EWCM as I never ever have it. Both times I feel pregnant this year I didn't have it and I check all the time. It's always the same - creamy. Never changes from that.

Amy the opks is negative but it's after ovulation. Watery cm is a good sign that you may have ovulated.

Iv had EWCM on the day I have ovulated and now it's like white/creamy

I'm only CD#12 do you think that I've already ovulated?

I have already written this once and deleted it.

I got two faint positives this morning.

I am absolutely rigid with fear.

amy everyone's different, I didn't until day 18

cwtchy sending cuddles and a congratulations 😍

Even if they're faint it means you're pregnant doesn't it?
Would you feel better if the lines were stronger?

Sorry I feel a bit useless here, I have only been on the boards for a few days.

It's not that they are faint, I just can't believe it. I've read so much sadness on here that I cannot believe this will turn out okay. Going to bury my head for a few days and just see what happens.

I know you're scared Cwtchy but huge congratulations! I know it doesn't help hearing the bad news. I think we were just unlucky. Please don't lose hope. I do think it's good to be realistic but, just because we've suffered, doesn't mean you will too. Try and stay positive and just enjoy the feeling of being pregnant! Remember, I had two successful pregnancies (who are now 7 and 10 years old). I am 36 and had never ever had a MC before the two we've just had.

Though I know that if it happens for us again, I'm going to be shit scared so what do I know!?

Sendign you ooodles of luck. Just try and relax and enjoy xx

Whoop!

Congratulations cwtchy definitely repeating what Frazzle has said. Enjoy every minute of it. We were unlucky but definitely does not mean you will be!!! so so happy for you! My word of advice is not to tell anyone!!! xxx
