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?

Just done another test as wanted to keep an eye on if the line was growing fainter due to the bleeding (just very light spotting occasionally at the moment) and this is the result..:

And compared to yesterday (top one yesterday at 12ish, bottom this morning but not with FMU)

Ummmmm..... I'm about 11dpo. This was taken within 5 mins and is a bit pinker in real life!!!!!

Last night I was even talking to dh about booking an appointment for a few weeks' time as we are coming up to one year on April 1!!!!!

Have I imagined that?!

Durez - FX everything is ok and it's implantation bleeding it seems reassuring with the test and the previous symptoms! Good luck for tomorrow!

Jam - I found it really hard to accept we needed help to conceive and felt I'd let dh down as it was me who had the issue but have come to accept now that it doesn't matter if you need some help you'll still love and provide for that baby and you can't tell who was born with help or naturally. I'm glad you've got some answers and just hope you speed through that waiting list xxx

Kate - there is definitely a line there!! Congratulations!! xxx

Woop woop that's definitely a pink line kate!! Oh my goodness you are preggers!! that is such great news. Pleased for u!! Are you thrilled?!

Oh jam hope you won't be needing ivf by then. Lots of people seem to go abroad for it these days. Would they not consider any fertility drugs? I'm so shocked they have been blunt with you. My doctor was so so nice and helpful. Considered my feelings. Is this nhs fertility clinic or private?

Did u have any symptoms kate??

Congratulations Kate!!!

Thanks Kiki

Footy* it's NHS for now. Hope you are doing well xx

Wow congratulations @physicskate! That's brilliant! The distraction of a new job worked for you! Bet you are shocked and thrilled!

@Londonjam I'm pretty appalled at how you have been treated; that's not right at all. Having an internal scan thrust upon you like that must have been horrible. Clearly I'm not a professional, but can't help but feel your reality lies somewhere in between your GP and Consultant's reactions. I'm sure you will have researched the low morphology and discovered lots of women who conceived despite this. Hopefully the supplements DH is taking will help. I think I've read it takes 3 months for semen to refresh in full, so hopefully any steps he has taken or plans to put in place will help in time. Do you use 'Conceive Plus'? That's for your words of advice on the cramps. It helps to hear people think this is normal!

*thanks for your words of advice

Just scrolled back and seen you had sensitive boobs kate.

Think it's just luck jam at who you get when u go. But that is shocking that they are that blunt. On the clomid thread I was on, a lady had been told ivf was only route and so she ordered clomid online for around £40 as she couldn't afford ivf and it worked first go! So she recommended it to others and a few have just got their bfp. So they were thrilled to only pay that.

I've tried everything so know ivf prob only my option but my age is against me for that and also I can't actually afford it.

I'm cd30 and no AF. Few little twinges but nothing that is screaming a bfp. Holding out til Monday.

Mimi any signs of AF?

I've had to go to work this morning. Dh left really early for London and I'm taking the train in a bit. It's still early but I can't wait to tell him!!! Boobs hurt and felt a little light headed earlier (but I do get vertigo anyways)... eeeee!!!

Jam I just feel a bit shit for you!! I'm kinda wishing this was your news...

Oh Kate don't be silly! You so deserve this.

I'll be fine - I'll get there eventually.

Now take care of yourself and bean xx

@Londonjam just thinking out loud, but because it's potentially a male factor making things a little trickier for you, maybe the more DTD you do over FW the better? In my brain I'm thinking the more swimmers you line up, the better the chances of finding a strong one? Probably a stupid thing to say but thought I'd put it out there while it's on my mind!

Tee bless you 💜 I've thought a lot about how much to do it too. We've tried all sorts really from every day to only 2-3 days in fertile week. I think it's better to let his swimmers recover and have a day in between so we've been going for every other day.

Thanks for all your support. We're unlucky but we're not the first people to need IVF by any means and we're lucky to have options xx

After a complete rollercoaster emotional week, I feel exhausted by it all.

I was convinced I had miscarried on Thursday night when I had red bleeding, then all the poking and prodding at the EPU yesterday, today I caved and bought another test.

Yesterday I was showing 1-2 weeks so I bought a CB Digi and although I am not feeling positive or relaxed, this has given me a little hope that my HCG has increased.

Hurray!! I've got a cb digi for Tuesday all lined up. Af due weds and I've got all my fingers and toes crossed it doesn't go chemical!!!!

Thanks @physicskate , huge congratulations to you, you must be thrilled!

I have my second bloods tomorrow so obviously they will be more reliable than the CB test.

Bet you're feeling nervous Footy & Mim! Really hope AF stays away!!
Jam I'm just selfishly trying to not lose you to the infertility threads!! IVF is amazing and thank God it's there as an option. One way or another we will get our babies, and they will be so worth the wait! Stay positive and strong x

I'll stick around don't worry 😉

Got a friend coming over for dinner tonight and she's text me to say she can't have shellfish or certain cheeses. Yep she's 8 weeks pregnant. Ashamed to say I burst into tears and sobbed in the garden. I'm happy for her but it's a reminder that it happens for other people and not to me.

I felt/ feel the same way jam... it might be a bit longer but you WILL get there!

@physicskate did you do anything different this month?? x

Physicskate massive congratulations!!!! Xxxx

I took soy isoflavins from cd 7-10. Low dose from h&b. This was meant to shorten my follicular phase and improve my lining. It did not shorten the fp... and hopefully I have no way of knowing bout the other!! My af has been really light the past few months and really short so I was wondering if it was a problem!

Aw thanks radders!!!

Anything happening @Footy1 & @Mimilicious013?
@Mamabooksbabynumber2 was it definitely AF?
