SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES all aboard the fertile train, destination BFP 👍🏼

[LondonJem]

Rollover thread

Ah sorry AF got you footy but like you said at least you know that you did ovulate and can get on it straight away when the witch buggers off.

earth congrats and sorry! I hope the bleeding stops soon and you get some answers. Just have to hold on to the fact that you know you can, that's what got me through mine earlier this year. Also don't panic about the things you took, it won't be an issue as others have said people have drank and taken all sorts before they found out and it isn't an issue.

london I have a fancy hair mask conditioning thing and st Ives apricot body scrub it is amazing it makes you smell beautiful and have skin softer than a babies backside. I luffs it and seriously recommend it.

tee may as well you need to make sure all is doing as it should. How you feeling today?

Well I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, gone from 35.92 to 36.26 this morning so that's the biggest rise I've had this month. Just have to wait for two more high temps to confirm and then pray my temps stay high! Managed to dtd last night just hope it's enough! Trying not to get too excited this month but I know I'm going to be totally gutted if it doesn't happen.

Hi guys nothing in womb - think might be ectopic in my ovary in which case need preg to end or bring it to an end. Bloods today and wed and see where we are. Hope goes with no intervention necessary.

Good luck to all.

Hcg at 280 so hopefully that's down by wed.

Oh my goodness earth what a rollercoaster I hope you are okay. Absolutely it's a good sign you are both fertile and hopefully won't be long until you are trying again.

How did it go with the midwife tee?

Sorry it wasn't your month footy hope you're alright

Sounds like good timing beagles fx

Oh earth, what a shock! Hope you are ok. Wonder if a chemical pregnancy is an option too, at least that wouldn't involve any intervention.
Jam you doing OK? Counting the days?!

I've had a crazy day. Went to see midwife but they couldn't really offer anything other than an ear, think that's all I needed. I've just been through the worst few hours of pain. I can only liken it to labour. Eventually passed the gestational sac, I nearly fainted. It's about the size of a small hens egg, completely different to all the clots, like a smooth ball of tissue, what I imagine a testical to look like without the skin!
Is this weird, but I'm thinking about taking it in a little pot to my scan tomorrow. Will they think I'm bonkers?! I've heard they sometimes test these things to establish why the pregnancy failed (genetic issue etc)

Sorry tee not being clear, they think they see it at the top of one of my ovaries so they want to monitor and check it either sorts itself out or if they need to Inject meth or do (keyhole) surgery to get rid so doesn't rupture. So far so shit! 🙃

Tee hope you're ok that's a rubbish situation. Maybe call to ask if they want you to bring it in and if not, you can rid of something which will be a bit upsetting or disturbing.

That's kind of incredible you can see it tee. Sorry about all the pain that sounds awful. I'm not sure they would do tests unless you had repeat miscarriages, but I could be wrong here

Ah and I'm 9 DPO. Don't really feel anything, just that I need to stock up on tampons. TTC feels completely and utterly pointless to me! Not even in a sad way anymore. Just can't see it ever happening.

Wow what a day for you Earth. Im so sorry all this has happened. Are they concerned it may rupture? Hope you have stopped bleeding** and are ok.

Tee, ah man awful to see it all come away, I'm sorry, it must have been quite upsetting. I suppose they could test it, but not sure if it's something they do on Nhs? No idea??

I'm ok Jem, disappointed but realistic that I didn't get much in having ovulated super early. Spotting has stopped but cramps still there. Found the IC's and thought I'd Poas to double check.. Bfn
Just waiting for the flow.

Beagles I use that scrub- is lush. Great idea for a bit of a pamper! I need a bit of me time too. Hope your temps over next few days confirm ovulation! :)

You are close now Jem. How u feeling about this cycle? How long is your lp?

Everyone else.. How long is your lp's?
Mine seems to be long this cycle? I def ovulated when I did as I saw the temp shift. But if AF doesn't fully flow til tomorrow id be 16dpo! ? Seems quite long.

Not sure what happened there ! ??

Sorry Jem cross posted!

I'm binge watching my crazy ex girlfriend on Netflix for

Ah earth I'm sorry to hear that. Look after yourself and just try and focus on the fact that now you know it's not impossible!

tee I remember that pain and that bit to pass it was awful. Keep your feet up and seriously don't push too much too soon. My doc said the NHS wouldn't test it but worth asking might be different in different areas. Hope you are doing ok

Sorry you're feeling down jam but try not to let the blue feeling take over. And you never know yet this month, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

footy it is beautiful amazon do a subscribe and save so I get a pot every couple of months in the post and it's a lovely surprise and definitely a pamper for me lol. Whilst this months not been ideal at least you can see a clear cycle and ovulation in it? My LP has always been really short 10 days max it worries me a bit!

So obviously clinging on to the hope of high temps for the rest of the cycle now! Ovulation not been confirmed on my app until I have 3 high temps but it must be it. Negative OPK today and my cervix is slowly coming back down. But weirdly my boobs and nipples are killing me! Like they are at their worst when AF is due, really confused by it. Also it's the weekend away drinking with the in laws next week, in theory I'll be 7/8dpo and I really don't want to drink but it'll be really obvious and it's my fils 60th so will look like a right grouch. not sure what to do

Well I'm still waiting?

16dpo
No blood flow yet.. Cramps are still lingering.. Spotting stopped yesterday morning.

Have you tested again footy?

Could you just have one drink beagles and really take your time with it? I find if you have a drink in your hand people don't really notice how fast / slow you are drinking it

Oh footy keeping everything crossed!

My LP is 14 days. My cycle is absolutely textbook, you could set your watch by my ovulation and period. Shame its not leading to a BFP though

No haven't tested today. Tbh I was so adamant I'm out that I haven't even thought about it. I have def pre af symptoms.. Headache, very very tender boobs. No cm at all! So really just think my lp has extended by itself seeing as though I ovulated mega early. Talk about dragging it out!!!!
Useless body! Oh and temp on the decline! Boo

Jem, i so wish I had a text book cycle! I use to!

Beagles, yes like Jem, I'd have one drink that they offer you and then either refill your wine glass with something similar or lemonade. People won't notice.
I remember once I was out and somebody brought loads of sambuca shots.. As everyone downed them tipping their head back I threw it over my shoulder! luckily nobody got it in the face.
Next round was mine, so I asked the barman to fill mine with water!
Hoping your temps stay up.

Earth and tee hope you are ok xx

Hi all,

Tee I'm glad that's all over for you. In some ways I wish I had passed mine naturally but I couldn't wait so the op was a good way of making sure it didn't go on for ages.

Earth that's awful, I really feel for you. I hope your hcg comes down tomorrow.

Footy that's a sneaky trick with the shots, I like it. I hope after (or BFP) turns up soon to put you out of your misery.

Beagles, I would have a drink too but that's me and it's your choice in the end.

Jam, I can't help but get a bit hopeful every tww and then end up downhearted.

As for me,

I'm off work again with an upset stomach. I'm really run down and feel terrible. Woke up with tummy cramps and feeling sick, planned to take Painkillers and carry on but when I burst into tears I realized how awful I felt. I'm off work for a few days.

Hello everybody,
Footy hope you get an answer one way or another, sorry it's dragging!
Earth hope you are holding up ok, sorry you're going through this.
Nim that's rotten that you feel rubbish. Hope you are taking all the time out that you need and get plenty of TLC.
Beagles hope you caught the egg and temps stay up! I personally think a drink or 2 won't do any harm, I tend to just nurse the same glass for ages, noones keeping track.
Jam keep that chin up, it will happen, probably when you least expect it. Hope you are feeling more relaxed.

Had my scan this morning, she confirmed the uterus is now empty. My lining is still irregular which indicates there is still some blood/clots to expel, although I seem to be really light/drying up today. The upshot is I no longer need the ERPC on Friday. They had no interest whatsoever in engaging in a conversation about future pregnancies/conceptions (I had questions re. the quality of my lining, hcg levels etc). They did suggest that I self-refer back to them at the beginning of any subsequent pregnancies, and they will scan me at 8 weeks regardless of symptoms, so that's good to know.
Best guess is I'm CD4, but I won't put pressure on myself with trying this cycle. Will just see how the month goes. Will keep using the ICs until negative to put my mind at rest. If I get strong ovulation signs, I'm clearly not going to be preventing, but I'm not getting my hopes up about my December prospects! This month is all about Christmaaaaaaas!!

Argh! I googled. Why did I google! Ok sore boobs and nipples are now so sore without touching and if my arm brushes against it's horrible. So I googled. And baby making forums seem to have the consensus that when you get pg your boobs don't hurt until at least 7/8dpo and if they hurt before that then it's a bfn. Mine have been painful from ovulation and steadily getting worse. Now my brain is like . Why did I google. I know it's stupid.

Glad the scan went as well as can be tee it is irritating when they won't engage in any kind of conversation about future impact but I suppose they just can't tell. Good that you get to self refer early! Should put your mind at rest.

nim I'm really sorry you're not well. Get tucked up in the duvet and get the dh to run round for you

footy that really is confusing, I feel for you this month it's been a proper weird one for you. Hope you manage to get an answer soon!

jam it'll get there! Hold on to the positives as much as you can.

Oh and on the drinking side I really don't know what to do. So I think I'll just wait for they day and see how I feel (and maybe use the crazy strong 5 days early pg tests I've got stashed away on the morning) lol.

Oh no beagles don't google!!! Although I must say I've never heard about that theory! So wouldn't worry.
My boobs have been hurting only since 11dpo so not sure where that fits in. Still no blood? What is going on?

Will test on an IC in morning - u never know? ! I'll probably bleed on the stick

Tee, sorry about today. Totally think you have right attitude for Dec. I fell preg before around Christmas and new year just because I was relaxed and went with the flow.** Let's hope it will happen for all of us whilst we are swinging around our Christmas trees with glasses of bubbles and our mince pies.

Nim sorry you are so poorly. Hope u feel better soon. My ds had a vomiting bug and wasn't nice - glad I missed it. Hope u get back on track soon.

Jam what's your plans for Christmas?

Hope you're ok mimi, and grads hope you are looking forward to Christmas.

Neither had i until i googled, ive never had painful boobs until about 3 days before AF or when i got my bfn (even then only from 7dpo) so really not used to this. Stupid girl. Know better than to google.

Have to let us know how you get on in the morning, waiting and not knowing is the worst bit!

Is it odd to wish away the night? Tomorrow if my temp keeps going up it should confirm ovulation and i feel like i neeeeeed the confirmation lol

I know exactly how u feel. I am just grateful I ovulated even though it was ridiculously early! Fingers crossed our temps go up in the morning.. Fast forward to the morning.

How's things looking for you Jam?

Hello ladies
Had fallen off the face of the earth in hope of coming back with a sneaky bfp but nooo, af got me 6 days ago .

Am getting really excited for you foot.dear God hope the witch stays away and you get those two lines staring back at you when you test today. Fx

Hope you are feeling better tee and glad that this episode is over. Now we hope you get lucky sooner than later hun . was just reading our first thread, it's been a while now and I just want all of using to graduate already.

jam , it's only a matter of time lovely. hope you keep at it and fx it will be happening soon. This month we have xmas to distract us so hopefully time will fly by. (It would have been nice to be announcing our pregnancies though )
