SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES! Come on ladies we're huntin' BFPs!

[MotherOfBeagles]

I get twitchy at the end lol! So next rollover thread. Roll call?

Well done @durez

@tee, we will get there eventually. one way or another. It is just a rough journey but we are warriors

Really having terrible cramps and a heavy flow

As a few of you know, I was a little worried that the CB Digi had remained on 2-3 weeks. I vowed not to test again, however it's my birthday and I could resist.

Absolutely over the moon with the result and can now relax until the next early scan a week on Wednesday.

Really good new durez!

Sorry I've been such a Debbie downer this weekend!!

@physicskate you are fully entitled to and that's what we are here for xxx

Hi all,

I hope you are doing OK Kate. Sorry for AF Mimi, Tee. That's really good re the SA Jem.

Fantastic Durez, hope you are relieved (for a bit).

For me, they did my bloods and the HCG was really low (25 i think) so have just said to do a repeat test in a week and let them know. They weren't bothered about what the tissue was in my uterus. Not sure where I am in my cycle, may be going to ovulate soon?? but with there still being an tiny bit of HCG in my system the OPKs are unreliable.

This month its DTD for fun only anyway. I have started taking ubiquinol for egg quality so it needs to get in my system. Busy week at work ahead to take my mind off things.

mimi really sorry that your af is bad. You feeling any better today?

Yay durez! Exciting!

Don't be daft kate its what we're here for. How you feeling today?

Ah nim I wish it could just be straightforward for you it's enough to cope with without!

I set up a grads group in antenatal. Not to avoid you ladies but hoping power of positive thinking will help! Square one Grads?

I'm ok today. Stuffy nose is driving me insane and tiredness. Trying to push the thoughts of mmc out of my mind. Got another month until my next scan I reckon

Pleased that the hcg is progressing durez. Hope it will give u peace now to enjoy your pregnancy.

Nim glad that hcg reducing for u now- yes think it will throw out the ovulation tests. Are they going to do any further tests?
You have been very strong going through all of this. Xx

Beagles hope we can join your new thread soon. The tiredness will lift soon, then u will be bouncing around the place shopping for bubba.

Nothing to report unfortunately.. still waiting for AF. Starting the af pills tonight!

Hi ladies, I've been super busy with my essay work that I haven't had a chance to catch up with everyone's posts. Sorry to hear AF is so painful mimi that happened to me two months ago and it was very odd. Has it started to subside?
What cycle day is everyone on?

I'm in the middle of the Fw with 3 days left to go and we have dtd 5 days in a row. No idea how I've managed to fit that in!

Good to hear from you beagles! Will joint the other group too!

Durez - you must be relieved glad all is going well for you!

Kate - glad you got seen hope you are holding up ok xx

Footy - I agree get on those AF tablets have such a strong feeling this next cycle of metformin and clomid is your bfp cycle - fingers tightly crossed xx

Just had a healthy 12 week scan so relieved, bawled my eyes out!

Aww so pleased Kiki bet you are so relieved! Get planning your buggy now!

Yes day cd 41 totally sucks ! Roll on AF

Glad all going well kiki durez beagles

Nim you sound very strong, I've been thinking about trying uniquinol too

Hugs mimi

Hope you're out of limbo asap footy

How are you tee?

I'm not sure what day I'm on but FW is over, we had all the sex as usual so we will see. After 16 cycles of nothing I'm not expecting much, but at least we've given it a good shot

Congrats @Kiki18 , first big mile stone has now been reached :-)

@Footy1 do the AF pills make you feel any different?

Hi girls,
Really glad to hear all progressing well grads! Kiki you must be feeling particularly relieved, I just can't wait to get to that milestone.
Mim sorry it was back to square one for you, and Footy did you start the pills? Do they take long to kick in?
Nim sounds like a good plan to DTD for fun this month. My opks stayed positive for ages after last MMC, so I'd say just keep it regular and hope for the best. I've never heard of ubiquinol, might look that up now. I take the seven seas 'trying for a baby' supplement, thinking I need something else. Maybe EPO?
Jam hope you caught the egg! What was your status with fertility clinic, did they just put you on waiting list for ivf?? Have they not offered any more help, drugs or further tests in the meantime?
Kate don't apologise for being a downer! I don't bloody blame you at all after what's happened, it's what we're here for so rant away when you need to!
Mamasbook good luck with the rest of FW, sounds like you're really on track!

CD9 here, started DTD yesterday. Want to cover up until at least CD15. Will do an opk later.

tee I took epo and it was the second month of this I got my bfp. I have a short lp and not much cm and it definitely helped with that not sure about the bfp lol though because that's always a mystery. You can only take it to the day of ovulation though so need to make sure you're tracking properly.

jam I really hope things start to kick in for you soon. Definitely putting in the work!

God Footy you must have the patience of a saint. I'd be tearing my hair out. Hope things move along soon for you. How you feeling?

Hope you managed to get plenty of dtd in mama!

Well that's swung it for me! Think I will get some for next cycle. Any recommendations? There are so many brands and different dosages... 500 or 1000mg? x

So busy last few days that I'm only just catching up.. *

I* have done EPO tabs too, not sure of dosage but will check tomorrow. I did use to take the coq10 tabs for good egg production but got out of habit if taking them all.

Well I went to take AF pills but had extremely tingly boobs and EWCM so thought I'd wait another couple of days. Waited 42days so what's another 2 eh?!
Boobs quite sensitive tonight, with few cramps.. dtd for safe measure! Will check temp tomorrow. I feel like this is really starting to stress me out. Everything falls into place but now my body refusing to cooperate.

Tee the pills (when I start) take for 4/5 days roughly.. then stop and af should b in full flo. However lady on clomid thread was on cd50 and didn't have these pills so took the clomid instead. Cd70 she got a bfp! So not sure whether i should just start the clomid instead? Your ovulation is just round the corner tee, fingers crossed u get the egg x

Jam your cycle seems to have flown by too. Probably as I could have had 2 cycles here! Lol hope you are doing ok and feel bit more relaxed x

Kiki glad u are well! I'm still having the odd sicky day with the metformin. Had a pub lunch other day and was ill for 24hrs after feeling sick. Too much sugar and fat.
Still can't handle the 1000mg, so take 500mg every day but every other day take 1000mg. My tummy so delicate I just can't seem to increase it?! might try 2 tabs together after lunch?

Mama seems like u ladies are all approaching fw and beyond. Good luck
Are u on any tabs/vitamins??

Bought some pineapple! Missed the pineapple!

Hi beagles and durez. Hope u are well mimi and nim.

I just knew the message wioukd come out strange as I realised after I sent it that the poxy bold button was on! Lol

I need sleep

I think it's worth hanging on, you've waited this long!
OMG a bfp on CD70!
It's so hard deciding what to do for the best isn't it? When you want that bfp so much, if only we had crystal balls and could see which choices will lead us to our bfps!

Hi tee
I took epo too. As beagles said only until ovulation. Get the 1000mg ones. I think Tesco is the cheapest. I took one a day.
I also used it at end of pregnancy to get things moving xx

@Footy1 definitely hold off if you feel different.

I've had some slightly brown cm this morning, only on wiping not on underwear etc. I don't know whether this is worth me phoning the EPU again as they said to phone if anything changed.

Thanks Radders, I'll definitely do that, hope all going well with you and your beautiful boy!
DuRez I wouldn't think that amount of brown spotting is anything to worry about, especially judging by your pregnancy with DD, but there's no harm ringing the EPU if it'll put your mind at rest. How many weeks are you now?

I'm 6w 4d I think.

Tee the consultant wanted blood tests, swabs and another SA before referring us. Everything is done bar the SA. He booked us in for follow up at end of May. As soon as DH has done his SA though I will be calling for cancellations. No way I'm waiting that long! He said he will refer us for ICSI IVF at that point - I hope that's still the case as DH morphology has improved to normal range now. But it's at the lowest end of normal so I reckon they will. The waiting list is then 6-8 months so hopefully we will start treatment by the end of the year. Well hopefully we will conceive naturally by then... or go abroad
