No, nips are a bit sore but nothing noticeable. No spotting, a little heavy and crampy but again, nothing mega. I do feel like I'm peeing a lot but I think that's more frantic knicker checking. ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

YouBoggleMyMind · 12/04/2017 10:50

Why is it this stressful????

FluffyEwok · 12/04/2017 11:15

Boggle i so want a positive for you!!!

YouBoggleMyMind · 12/04/2017 11:23

Thanks Fluffy. I want it too. So much.

ElizabethCatherine · 12/04/2017 11:35

Wow so much is happening on this thread!! So good to see such progress with everyone! Can't wait till I am starting to take medication so I can join in on the boat a bit more! Will be about 5-6 weeks for my first private consult. DH had a semen sample day yesterday morning, now I need to get some more blood work done the private clinic is requesting so many different blood results. Does anyone know how much blood tests are privately at the fertility clinic? I'm not sure my doctor will give me all these if it's not for the NHS. My fingers are crossed for every one of you. Would be so nice to see a bunch of BFPs coming in! Fingers and toes are crossed for all of you! Flowers

YouBoggleMyMind · 12/04/2017 14:14

Milky discharge. That's the only
Other Symptom I've got. I keep thinking AF is coming though 🙈

AmyC86 · 12/04/2017 20:39

boggle milky discharge is a very good sign!!!! Xxx

I'm unsure when to test. I think ovulation happened Thursday night into Friday morning. I had planned to have my bloods done this Friday, but I'm not sure now due to it being bank holiday, so I'm undecided on getting them done 2moro or Tuesday, but Tuesday seems too far away - I think I'm going to go 2moro.

I think I'm going to do what you did boggle and wait till well over due date, so I think that I'll test a week on Monday.

YouBoggleMyMind · 12/04/2017 20:55

I'd go for bloods tomorrow, your progesterone will be on the rise still. Peaks at 7dpo appaz.

Waiting is so hard but feeling positive and calm this evening.

AmyC86 · 12/04/2017 23:39

Me 2 boggle have you had your blood results back yet?!

YouBoggleMyMind · 13/04/2017 07:53

They don't give them to me, I have to call them and I can't be arsed. It will be what it will be and I'll know either way on Monday. So glad for the long weekend.

AmyC86 · 13/04/2017 11:05

Fair enough boggle xx Im working all weekend apart from 2moro xx these next 7 to 10 days are going to be terrible. I'm just glad that I'm going to be busy and glad that I've stayed so positive about us both getting our BFPS. Have you're gynaecology department said anything about early scan? Mine said that they'd do one... I'm so desperate for this to work. I think that we've both been on this journey long enough & it's definitely our time xxxx

YouBoggleMyMind · 13/04/2017 11:22

Yes, I'm pretty sure I get an early scan at the fertility clinic. If for some reason I don't, I'll ask for one or go and get a private one.

YouBoggleMyMind · 13/04/2017 11:25

Well, AF is due today. No sign. Just 4 days more I can test.

FluffyEwok · 13/04/2017 11:25

I didn't get an early scan I paid for one. I would have got a scan at 4 weeks and one at 7 weeks had I had ivf. I paid 45 quid for a scan at before the stork
fingers crossed girls xxxx

YouBoggleMyMind · 13/04/2017 11:40

You didn't have many symptoms did you Fluffy? I feel like I should something but I don't. Which makes me think I'm not pregnant.

FluffyEwok · 13/04/2017 12:08

I feel emotional and has some bleeding. Sorry for Tmi but I nearly pooed myself in public the day before I found out!

YouBoggleMyMind · 13/04/2017 12:25

Well I always feel emotional haha! All I do is cry these days. Had spotting for 4 days last week. Nothing since. Trying to work out if I'm likely to get a positive on Monday but my body isn't giving me anything!

AmyC86 · 13/04/2017 16:12

Tbh girls, I'm usually frantically looking for signs and like you boggle there's nothing but the constant feeling of hope xx

The only thing that I have experienced is rediculus constipation which has been going on for nearly a week. I've resulted in taking senna before bed. The only other thing is a runny nose, but that could easily be the camocazy weather....

Moomin37 · 13/04/2017 17:05

Just checking in to say I'm still rooting for you Boggle 😀 If it helps I don't recall any symptoms other than those from the Menopur and the fanjo bullets. Sending positive vibes to everyone else in this thread too Smile (in case you're wondering who I am I was an early participant on the original thread).

AmyC86 · 13/04/2017 17:33

Nice to hear from you moomin how are you getting on? Xx

YouBoggleMyMind · 13/04/2017 17:46

Thanks Moomin, lovely to hear from you. How are tricks? Xx

HollyWollyDooDah · 13/04/2017 19:49

Well my aunt got admitted to the ER on Tuesday night. They found masses in her abdo. Surgery last night which confirmed advanced ovarian cancer. They've given her a stoma, removed one or two tumours but can't do anything else for her.
Just keeping her comfortable.
So that's pretty shit really

AF due today - nothing
When do I test, although to be honest I'm so emotionally drained at the moment I don't think I can face it
Xx

YouBoggleMyMind · 13/04/2017 20:16

Holly, so sorry you've had such a difficult day. You can test anytime if AF is due today. Mine is also due today and nothing but waiting until Monday to test. Hugs.

HollyWollyDooDah · 13/04/2017 20:17

Thanks boggle
Fingers crossed for you xxx

Moomin37 · 13/04/2017 20:19

Hey there Boggle and Amy I'm good thanks. LO is 12 weeks old now and had her second lot of immunisations today. I looked at last year's diary earlier and I started stabbing on this day last year - don't know where the time has gone. I so so hope you have some good news soon - you both deserve it so much Flowers

Holly I'm very sorry to hear about your Aunt.
