Aw sorry about the SA result 'flapjackered'

Hopefully the doctor can shed some light on what it means and what can be done x

Lilsquish · 14/07/2018 08:52

Oh and healthy eating??? Iv had macdonalds two days in a row.

Aghhhhh

FlapJackered · 14/07/2018 09:54

@thisisouryrfx18 - put it into fertility friend and that has marked my ovulation as cd18! So I am just going to go with that! That will mean my cycle will only be 30ish days which is amazing! 🤞🏻 If right that I am sure is alll down to Inositol (thanks to @Aph413 !)

Thanks @Lilsquish - fingers crossed a bit less booze and a bit more veg will do the trick.

thisisouryrfx18 · 14/07/2018 09:58

@Lilsquish i had chinese last nite hehe its hard to cut down the booze and food at the same time lol @FlapJackered gr8! fx to ur shorter cycle x

Good! 7dpo and starting to feel standard PMS symptoms. So tired today and a bit crampy - I know it could be pregnancy symptoms too but I just have got a feeling I'm not.
Natural cycles finally confirmed I ov'd on CD18 though which means this will be my shortest ever cycle, which I am very happy about, I almost don't mind if I am not pregnant this cycle now!
How about you? What CD are you on?

thisisouryrfx18 · 16/07/2018 17:44

@FlapJackered im on cd12 now still got about a wk n a half until my fertile wk..got my gynaeo app through tho so at least thats progress. Glad to hear ur feeling optimistic about the shorter cycles feels like ur winning at sumthin even jts not a bfp lol

FlapJackered · 19/07/2018 16:07

@thisisouryrfx18 that is such good news!! He (and you!) must be so relieved! Did you see the breakdown of the results?

My temp dipped today so not too hopeful, but felt so sick in the supermarket just now I thought there was going to have to be a clean up on aisle 5 😂 I think it must be psychosomatic though! 2 more days before testing!

thisisouryrfx18 · 19/07/2018 16:24

@FlapJackered might b a gd sign fx it is x..we are but we arent its gd that everythings went well soo far but ive got more tests at the gynaeo nxt mnth. Im grateful that the pressure off him at least tho he was really worried hopefully if i have blocked tubes or cysts etc its fixable, but back to more waiting now uuughh

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 20/07/2018 07:51

@thisisouryrfx18 well done for getting it all tested though as I know it is not easy. I really hope it is something fixable for you.

So my chart went up slightly today after thinking I was probably out after the dip yesterday. I still think I probably am out, as it isn't very high temps. What do you think?
I am going to try and resist testing until Sunday,

@thisisouryrfx18 AF turned up this morning. Feel partly frustrated as we Dtd at all the right times, and partly great that my cycle was only 29 days! Shortest ever!
Ah well trying to see the positives that I will be able to drink on my holiday in August.

Thats a great cycle lenght 'flap' but sorry u never got bfp.

Fab news on ur oh sperm results 'this'.

I had a telephone convo with my doc this week. I was all excited about her prescribing me clomid.......

She was like 'oh im not going to do that. I need to refer you to a fertility expert'.

Ffs. Just give me the tablets and stop wasting time!!!!

Wingingit3211 · 23/07/2018 07:31

Cd 39 here , 6 cycles ttc#3. Sick of negative tests and waiting around for my period. Fed up today

thisisouryrfx18 · 23/07/2018 10:27

@Lilsquish i know its soo much red tape bs isnt it and waiting lists! Feel like this mnth is bloody dragging in another wk until i even ovulate. Ive been gettin loads of ewcm tho bit early? I cant even c if ive ovulated cause i decided to not bother temping this mnth cursing maself now tho😠

OP posts:
Lilsquish · 23/07/2018 14:37

Aww are you using opks @thisis?

Iv just started today for this month although my app has calculated another 14 days til ov (but this is based on a 42 day cycle)

Last month i was 34 days......

God this is so hard

thisisouryrfx18 · 23/07/2018 16:17

@Lilsquish yh im gonna start using them in a day or 2fx my ovulation has stayed the same..i had the same problem a couple of cycles ago mine was shorter than usual i had to use opks twice a day for about2 wks to catch my ovulation. Still didnt get pregnant tho obvs lol

OP posts:
FlapJackered · 23/07/2018 16:37

@Lilsquish that's so frustrating about the clomid, It does feel like gps make it unnecessarily difficult sometimes, when it really doesn't impact them at all!

@Wingingit3211 I feel for you - I've been there and it's not fun. Are you temping? Do you know if you've ovulated?

I have got a blood test tomorrow to check all the hormones are the right levels.
Although my cycle was shorter this time, my period was only 2 days long 🙄 and now just some spotting (on day 3) which doesn't feel overly positive. The internet says it could be low oestrogen so hopefully if it is that will show up on the bloods.

thisisouryrfx18 · 23/07/2018 16:44

@FlapJackered gd luck with ur blood tests! if it makes u feel any better my results came back pretty quick and so did a lot of the girls i talk to on here, and at least hormonal issues can b medicated x keep us updated hun

OP posts:
Wingingit3211 · 23/07/2018 18:18

@flapjackered I’m going to start temping next month when my period FINALLY arrives! My eldest son was conceived on a 6 month cycle so I know it is possible, just frustrating

FlapJackered · 24/07/2018 10:46

Thanks @thisisouryrfx18 - all done so hopefully all good results. She said they will be ready this time next week.

@Wingingit3211 - I can imagine. That is great that you know it can happen though!

thisisouryrfx18 · 31/07/2018 12:11

Just wantd to say gd luck with ttc ladiez im moving onto the infertility boards thanx for the support x💋
