@cupcakesandglitter I hope you get an answer either way soon lovely. This limbo part must really be messing with you right now xx

cupcakesandglitter · 30/09/2018 21:42

Thankyou @sunshine1987 I've spent most of the weekend crying randomly, I've definitely lost the plot 😂 x

Teachermummy83 · 30/09/2018 22:01

@cupcakesandglitter sounds positive! Keeping everything crossed for you xx

cupcakesandglitter · 30/09/2018 22:10

Thankyou @Teachermummy83 xx

EssJayyCee · 30/09/2018 22:18

@cupcakesandglitter that sounds so promising! My fingers are tightly crossed for you! x

FlapJackered · 30/09/2018 22:48

@KatBeCool hey hun! I am good thanks, just taking a bit of a step back as it all got a bit much this cycle with the late AF and the 6 month ttc anniversary. Feeling ok 👌🏻 now though but on holiday in Devon trying to put it out of my mind a bit. My brother did ask me tonight when are we going to get on with it and have kids. I just felt like shouting at him 'it's not that easy!!!'
How are you? You must be coming up to fertile week soon no?

@cupcakesandglitter I am really keeping my fingers crossed that you find out what is happening one way or another soon. I really do feel for you as it is so miserable when you don't know where you are. ❤️

Sorry for anything I have missed, i will check in now and again but if something important happens this week can somebody please tag me as I am away but definitely don't want to miss any bfps! Love you all xxxx

cupcakesandglitter · 30/09/2018 22:55

@EssJayyCee thankyou ❤️

@FlapJackered enjoy Devon lovely, relax and look after yourself!! 💕 xx

KatBeCool · 30/09/2018 22:56

@FlapJackered aww, hopefully you'll have a few nice days to rest and recharge. We're getting pregnant this year! I should ovulate next Sunday or so.

@cupcakesandglitter I definitely think your limbo is over.

Delilah7 · 01/10/2018 07:22

@cupcakesandglitter does sound promising Hun. However @KatBeCool is right with the surge too. I've heard both so fingers crossed for you!

Still no period..... and I didn't test this morning. Was way too scared. I'm crampy but nothing else. Have been for a few days on and off xx

@Delilah7 @KatBeCool I think I'm finally at the stage now where I'm relaxing a bit more and just letting my body do its thing - flo has updated and is saying my period is likely to start in 15 days? 😂 This morning I've had a bit of darker brown stuff on my pad, but no red as of yet. Just going to take every day as it comes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Delilah fx for you Hun, I can relate to the being too scared to test 😂😂 how many days late are you now? X

Delilah7 · 01/10/2018 07:30

@cupcakesandglitter take every day as it comes hun like you said.... I'm so hopeful for you though. 😘

If you base it on old 28 day cycle I'm 5 day's late. If you base it on 30 day cycle I'm 3 day's late. I feel like things keep moving down there so keep having to go toilet to check haha. If it's coming I just want it to stop stalling and getting my hopes up! X x x

@Cupcakesandglitter have you tested again today or are you going to wait til tomorrow?

@flapjackered hope you're ok and enjoying Devon, I find sometimes when I take a step back from the Google and the mumsnet I don't think about it as much.

So an update on me...

I've bitten the bullet and have made an appointment this morning at the docs for advice on my PCOS and fertility.

I'm actually really nervous about it!

Delilah7 · 01/10/2018 08:15

@Crossfitgirl well done darling. This is the first step ❤️

OP posts:
Crossfitgirl · 01/10/2018 08:21

Thanks @delilah7.
I think I'm more nervous as I'm gonna tell them we've been trying since Feb (when I came off the pill) but it was actually May. I figured then at least if they tell me to wait a year, I have the option to go back a little sooner, as if I haven't concieved by Christmas I don't think I could wait til next May!

How are you this morning? Any sign of AF or BFP? Xxx

Delilah7 · 01/10/2018 08:26

@Crossfitgirl no that's very true hun well done. No sign of AF but I don't know what to do tbh 😂 haven't taken another test yet lol too scared xxxx

OP posts:
Crossfitgirl · 01/10/2018 09:06

@delilah7 Ah well maybe wait as long as you can, could you wait till a week after you were due? So if you're 4 days late today aim to not test again til Thursday?

I'm in the waiting room I hate the docs!

Delilah7 · 01/10/2018 09:09

@Crossfitgirl I'm going to try but I'm very close to just taking one Hahahaha. Aww me too Hun. Blood test later for me to! Xx

Crossfitgirl · 01/10/2018 09:09

Aww no @delilah7 sorry for the BFN. Chin up hun, it may be that we just have to wait it out with you and see. I hope one way or another AF or BFP comes!

So outcome of the docs is they have said they will do some bloods (day 1 and day 21) to check hormone levels, Which is what I wanted. The day 1 levels check FSH, (somehow it can tell the age of your eggs?) and if it's normal then fine, but if it's abnormal then they might consider Clomid. Day 21 checks progesterone.
Happy with that.

BUT she also gave me some interesting advice...

When I said I was doing ovulation sticks, and was worried about my short LP, she was absolutely adamant that the ovulation sticks don't work, that they cause anxiety, and can cause people to time sex around the wrong time. She said the one static in most cycles is that ovulation will happen around 14 days before AF. She told me to bin them all, and to just have sex every 2-3 days throughout the month including on my period!
She said most fertility clinics don't use them and will tend to give the same advice.

Apparently she is the doctor at my surgery that is more up on fertility, as when I phoned they said she is the best doctor to see about that, so I'm gonna go with that.

So there we go, I will follow the doctors advice and try to have sex every 2 to 3 days through the month. I might ditch the sticks too to be honest. They do make me stressed! But I do have loads left. So. Will see! Haha.

Gonna have a chat with DH when he gets back about it. He needs to start initiating more sex! Doctors orders!

Delilah7 · 01/10/2018 10:12

@Crossfitgirl with everything else that's going on I've just had enough 😭😭😭😭

Great advice babe. So pleased for you and you got on okay. I'm going to bin all my sticks too! So AF hurry up so I can work shit out lol 😂 x

@Delilah7 so sorry to see your BFN! It can be a long road sometimes but try to stay positive, we're all in this together and you are not alone that's for sure!

@Crossfitgirl that's good you managed to get somewhere and get some useful advice! GP's can be a hit or a miss sometimes. It's so easy to get hung up OKP's and plan everything around them.

I'm on cycle 2 TTC CD 7, feels like forever until ovulation is going to happen, what a waiting game this is

Delilah7 · 01/10/2018 10:43

@rj995 I'm just fed up now. Want AF to come. Never thought I'd want a baby so much but after the miscarriage is been possible! X

OP posts:
rj995 · 01/10/2018 11:01

@Delilah7 it's so frustrating for you it's not been an easy journey so far, try not to dwell on it too much tho everything will fall into place in time! Feeling for you!x
