Hi all. Hopping on the March bus after a MC at 6 weeks at the beginning of Feb. Not sure I’ll actually ovulate this month but I’m keeping my fingers crossed (not least because DH is unhelpfully away for my likely fertile period in March)...

Age: 33
TTC: #1
Cycle: 1 since last MC, lost count overall (it’s been a couple of years...)
AF due: 4th March (if I have a regular cycle this month... we shall see)

Good luck everyone :)

Hi all, can I join

Ttc#1 cycle 2 CD12 AF due 7th March

Baby dust to all 😊

Zarara · 16/02/2019 20:53

Is anyone using the cheap opks from amazon and if so how are you finding them. I was hoping I would be ovulating soon but there has been no hint of a second line yet even though I’m cd 13 of a 27 day cycle. Hoping I get a second line soon.

Hi everyone

TTC: #1

AF/BFP due 7th March. Is anybody trying/going to try anything new in this cycle?

This cycle I'm trying Preseed and if I'm unsuccessful this cycle, I'm going to try the SMEP next - always good to have a plan, right? Grin

Hi all, hope it's ok to join.

AF is due 14th March if you go by last month, or 9th March if you go by the month before, so who knows! Not doing OPKs/temping etc. so will just assume 14th unless it appears earlier!

TTC #2 - no 1 is 4.5 yo
CD 14
Age: 36 (argh!)
Month 2 of TTC

First post here but need some moral support as no1 was a whoopsie I have no idea about TTC roller coaster. Got really disappointed when it didn't just work 1st time and realised talking to people in the same position might help.
I realise my age is probably more against me now, but my mom didn't have her first until 43!

Not using ovulation prediction but have a fertility app and an awareness of fertility from cervical mucus.

I am more over weight than I was with no1 although much healthy as I now cycle 40mins every day!!

Nice to meet you all

Hello all - can I join too? Been hopping on and off the buses for the last year under various different names!

Losing hope rapidly. Had a HSG this month showing one totally blocked tube - not sure why. DH has low everything with sperm and extremely low motility. We’ve had 3 chemicals, with the last one the month before the HSG. I turn 31 v soon and never would have imagined we’d still be here.

Crampy and sore and tearful today. TTC is shit.

ronniemipperton · 18/02/2019 14:00

Welcome all. Sorry to hear you’ve been having such a rough time @MollyD88 - I feel your pain. Beginning of the cycle is always tough with cramps and general AF rubbishness alongside the crushing disappointment. Fingers crossed for you.

MollyD88 · 18/02/2019 16:10

Hi @ronniemipperton - recognise your name from buses past! Thanks for the sympathy, need to wallow today. Hope you’re doing well and fingers crossed for you too- sounds like you’ve not had the easiest ride either so far.

bunhead34 · 18/02/2019 16:47

Eugh I'm having a bad AF, been chomping on ibuprofen.
Was going to start getting healthy today and run home from work, but my tum will
Just hurt too much.

Meh!

MollyD88 · 18/02/2019 19:46

@bunhead34 Totally with you over here! I’m training for a marathon and sacked off my long run yesterday after 7 miles (in which I stopped at least every 2 to curse period pain!)

Just about under control now but feeling so bloated and sorry for myself! Hope you’re doing something lovely tonight.

HappyGoLuckyGo · 19/02/2019 01:38

I’ll jump on! I think we’ve agreed to TTC#2... I have some reservations but I think we’ll finally stop our half-hearted attempts at prevention (read: the pullout “method” 😂)

I’m 28, on CD3 and also feeling very crampy and rough. Good luck to everyone, especially those who have been on this journey for a long time...

pinkoi · 19/02/2019 07:44

@HappyGoLuckyGo
This sounds familiar! We haven't had the "have we started trying" conversation we have just very pointedly stopped trying not to!

Peachyx2505 · 19/02/2019 07:45

Welcome to the new ladies. 🤞🤞

@Zarara I'm going to use opk (cheapy strips) this month just to see how my solo ovary is doing in there. Haven't started yet tho. Have you had a positive? Xx

@MollyD88 and @ronniemipperton I'm sorry to hear about your tough journeys so far. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. I really hope it happens soon for you both xx

bunhead34 · 19/02/2019 14:19

I've just had 21 day blood tests results as 'no action required'. I suppose it should be good news but I'm gutted that there's nothing to be fixed.

What happens now?
Am I supposed to make an appointment to talk to the dr? I've only spoke to the receptionist who was horrible - why are they always horrible?!

ronniemipperton · 19/02/2019 15:38

Thanks @Peachyx2505. Must say my 30s haven’t turned out entirely as planned. Currently distracted by the mother of all colds (I think it’s probably flu but am trying to pretend it’s not in the hope that I get better faster).

@bunhead34 urgh so annoying, my GP receptionists are the same (and the lead GP at my practice has such a charming bedside manner she’s made me cry on a couple of occasions!). I would say make an appointment with your GP and at that appointment ask to be referred to a specialist who can do further investigation. Your partner will need to get checked out as well if he hasn’t already (done by the GP initially).

That’s about as much as I know about the referral side of things - I did have a referral last May but then got my BFP pretty much the same day (ended in MMC at 10 weeks unfortunately).

Chips81 · 19/02/2019 15:57

Hello

First time poster here :)
Just started TTC and worried my age is against me. Just come off the pill and finished my period so fingers crossed I ovulate this month. I’ve always been super regular though so hoping I’m straight back to normal.
