TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.7

[Delilah7]

Another thread ladies ❤️

To say the positivity is lacking, you have definitely made me feel more positive about it! Don't know what I'd do without you ladies ❤❤❤

@cupcakesandglitter @validuser @mrsof20118 it's so hard not to want it so badly, how can we relax about it? If i learn much on this mindfulness course I'll let you know!

Thank you @sunshine1987 @validuser @flapjackered that does make me feel a lot better about it. My LP was just 9 days this month, and now that I look at my chart I can see how mad it is compared to the first 2 months I temped (on pics).. I've been super stressed... And actually flo hasn't even put that I've ovulated at all this month! I wonder if stress has made me have an anovulatoru cycle??

@cardi86 we have our appointment on 31st December so not massively long to wait, I am tempted to ask to redo my bloods but I do think it was the FSH they were more concerned with rather than progesterone x

@Crossfitgirl I am glad you're feeling better about it. I reckon you're right and it was annovulatory. You have got me worried now as my FSH was 6.5 - so higher than yours but mine was done with day 4 bloods rather than day 21?
I can't find anything online that says 6 is high though?

@flapjackered @crossfitgirl apparently it’s to do with age too? I found this

@cupcakesandglitter @validuser I feel exactly the same girls :( really fed up- AF started today, I'd talked myself into believing it could be this month, now back to square one... going to have to bring it up with DH that we will have to get referred in Jan I don't want to leave it much longer. Having terrible cramps at the moment which just pisses me off even more :(

Sorry to dampen the spirits...

@Crossfitgirl @ValidUser @mrsof20118 @rj995 honestly it's so shitty isn't it. CrossFit I hope the course is good for you - please let us know if you get any good tips because I think we all definitely need to try and chill a bit x

Sorry @Welshpugmomma forgot to tag you in it too - I know how you feel sweet. It's such a horrible feeling, it really is difficult isn't it 😩 sorry AF turned up ❤️ xx

Was expecting a rise in my bbt this morning after feeling what I thought was ovulation pains and a positive opk yesterday. Maybe tomorrow?

Sorry for af @Welshpugmomma x

Hey guys, little help here??
So I've been entering my BBT and this morning Flo has changed her mind completely from saying I'll Ov on Tuesday, so saying it's already been and gone!!! Please see below pic of my temps. I've never in my life had such a short cycle, why would she change it now and do you think she's accurate??? Being that I usually have 16 days before I ov. 😣

Ahh @welshpugmomma she creeps up nastily doesn't she. Onwards and upwards to the next cycle. Have yourself some gin! @cupcakesandglitter thank you, I'll let you know- there are some medications and stuff they've set as homework and it's interesting learning about thought processes!
@mrsof20118 yes it can take a few days to rise after ov, but it has to be a sustained rise so you won't know for defo for a few days:-)

@flapjackered the doc did say it was borderline for FSH and could even be normal for my age, but I think coupled with PCOS and previous surgery to remove ovarian cyst she's done the referral anyway, and she did note that I was worried i was ovulating late. I read that under 7 is normal too so don't worry too much.

@babysquid flo did the same to me this month, it said I ovulated on cd9 (I normally it around cd17 and have pains along with it!!) but it was because my temps showed a pattern but then after a few more days the temps weren't sustained high and flo changed her mind and said I hadn't. It's actually not said an ovulation date for this month! I'd take it with a pinch of salt, it's an app at the end of the day, and you know your own body. Go with your signs and your gut, flo can easily be confused xx

@babysquid yeah at closer look it's because you've had 3 higher temps in a row. Mine did the same but my temps went down again and flo then changed her mind. But also, your body could just be changing it up after MC, just wait it out and see but like I say, it's just an app. It's only got data to go off. Are you doing OPKs or just temping? If you've not had a positive OPK either, I would just ignore it. Plus it might even be too early for OPKS! I think flo is just having you on xx

Thanks @Crossfitgirl I don't do OPKs I think I'll only start doing them if I'd been trying for over a year, as so far I've been able to get preggo.
It just really confused me as it's the first time Flo's done this. I'll keep entering my data and see what it says in a few days time.

@babysquid I think flo is generally crap with BBT as it used to do this with me and was only when I changed to using fertility friend that my patterns were ok. It’s becuse you’ve had theee days of higher temps. I’d just keep going and hopefully it’ll sort itself out and keep an eye on CM x

Hi ladies! Wow there's aloooot to catch up on, but work looms.... will catch up properly this evening. In the meantime I need some advice!

Been dtd every other day since the 1st. My ap says fw should have started tomorrow, with ov being around the weekend. I've been using smiley sticks since Mon, just in case. Mon, Tue and yesterday were just the Nothing Circles, as expected. BUT this morning it went straight to Peak, static smiley?! That's not happened before, but the leaflet does say it can happen. Now, we dtd last night. Do we stick to every other day until about Tues, as planned or do we dtd again tonight and go from there?! Confused.Com!! Xx

@FivexFive I would getting Dtding everyday now for the next 3 days. You will probably ovulate tomorrow (they say 12-36 hours from static smiley). I have once had the static straight from the O - it just means both hormones raised at the same time. Go girl go!!!

@FivexFive - I'd dtd tonight too just in case!

How is all my ladies?!

Having one of those low days. 😔 need my ladies!

Sorry to hear that @delilah7 what's up?? X

@Rachael321 I feel I shouldn't moan to you ladies as you're all so desperate to be pregnant and I'm so thankful I am. I just can't believe it still and then worry that well I was a week ago but what if I'm not now? Just feels abit strange x x

@delilah7 that's totally understandable, especially with what happened the last time. I know i will be the same when it's my turn. You just need to keep up what you're doing just now, it's easy saying it it worrying probably isn't the best thing to do. It's like everyone telling you to relax when ttc...which worked for you! Just try and continue doing that, stay calm and do what you need and what your body tells you to do x

@Rachael321 everything's pointing to me still feeling pregnant! I am just petrified. Trying to not think of oily all so much. Feel robbed of the excitement abit tbh! Xx

@delilah7 I can imagine, like walking on eggshells. Just think of your scan next week, it will probably sink in better and relax you when you see that wee heart flickering away x

@Rachael321 I hope I do :( scared I won't xxx

Just had a tiny bit of spotting so I guess AF is on its way :(

@ Delilah7 - Just have to stay positive xx
