@KatBeCool we are dpo twins! I am 4dpo too 😀 when is AF due for you? Mine is due on 26th.
That is great your bloods came back normal, I have got my blood test tomorrow to check progesterone and testosterone. Do you know what TSH level your thyroid is? It should be ideally under 2 for conceiving (or at least under 3) as otherwise it can lead to trouble conceiving and miscarriages apparently. So if it is over that I would talk to them about levothyroxine.

Fingers crossed for you @FivexFive!!

Welcome @SurfingTheSouthWest 😀

@surfingthesouthwest hiya also a teacher and I regularly daydream about when I could take my maternity in relation to term dates hahha! Also a tad worried about a summer born child but if it happens it happens! Me and Oh are both a July and August born ourselves and although growing up didn’t notice any difference now day to day in my job I just feel so sorry for my little summer cherubs who are always at a disadvantage due to testing etc!

Well seems like it was the weekend for feeling down, I was also having a down day. Somehow AF turned up on day 27 which has never ever happened, gone from the extreme of 55 days last time to 27 this time so seriously wandering what on Earth is going on with my cycle! Have ordered preseed and clear blue ovulation tests for next month as I’m ready! Just got to get through the next three weekends...3 christenings off the trot.

Hope everyone else is doing well today!

poodlepip · 17/09/2018 22:17

@ProseccoBee eek 3 christenings?!
September is clearly THE month isn't it. June/July is nice, after exams when they grow up.

You'll know this then, August babs can select which year they start school in now can't they?

KatBeCool · 17/09/2018 23:21

@FlapJackered yay DPO twins! AF due on the 24th though. My TSH was 4.8, highest norm is 4.1. It was tested after the ovulation last month which does make it go higher. I'm hoping it's just a fluke and they'll retest since it's not skyrocketing.

FivexFive · 18/09/2018 07:56

Hi all! So the test this morning was bfn :( But no real sign of af yet so just waiting to see over the next few days... Sunday and yesterday I had cramps and yesterday also headache and a bit 'odd' in the morning (like light headed almost?) Probably reading too much into it! Feel fine this morning so far.
Delilah 7, hope you were able to get in another dtd :)
Anyway, good luck to all and have a nice day! Xx

MrsR16 · 18/09/2018 08:16

Morning @FivexFive 😊 that sucks about your BFN! But, as these ladies say, you're not out till you're out!

So I'm supposed to ov today and we managed to DTD last night which is awesome, but I've told DH that we absolutely have to DTD tonight! He's gone "yeah, alright then!" Haha! He makes me giggle

FivexFive · 18/09/2018 08:23

MrsR16, get in girl!! Have fun :)

Delilah7 · 18/09/2018 09:03

@FivexFive hi honey. That sucks sorry :( BUT you're not out till she arrives!!

Yes we managed to DTD last night. He was very up for it 😈 hehehe. Hoping I've done enough. Means I've DTD 5 day's out of 7 this fertile week hahaha.

@MrsR16 go on girl! Love it when they're as up for it as we are xx

Morning ladies,

Hope you are well. I have woken up with 5 cold sores this morning so I look like a got punched in the lip. Stress/Hormonal changes can contribute to this apparently. I am officially late today but have zero symptoms, I'll do another test on Friday to check progression. Does anyone know if it takes an actual week for the CB test to move from 1-2 to 2-3 weeks or is it a hormone thing?

Thanks and fingers crossed for all you.

sunshine1987 · 18/09/2018 09:23

@delilah7 don’t think you could have done more if you tried! Way more than I could manage during the fertile week x

AEL25 · 18/09/2018 09:33

Hi,

New to this....

I have my first appointment on Monday with the Gynecologist on the NHS after private fertility tests.

Can anybody tell me what to expect out of the first appointment please :)
