Ah thanks @Peachyx2505 - right back atcha! Fingers crossed for lots of lovely BFPs in a few weeks! X

Hi all, quiet on here today, I guess everyone is enjoying the weather!

So I got my 21 day blood test results on day, my tsh level was 3.1 which the dr said was normal but they like it to be around 2.5 so have been given a low dose of thyroxine to get that down.
Anyone else have experience of this?

Had a baby filled day yesterday so feeling low today Sad

Been for our weekend away. Now the TWW...cold here today. But I've started the couch to 5k thing. So DH and I went for a run with the dog. Hope everyone has a good Sunday!

MollyD88 · 24/02/2019 17:52

Weather has been beautiful! I’ve had a week off work and should have done lots today but spent the afternoon in the garden with a book and a glass of wine.

@bunhead34 my tsh level was a little high too but wasn’t given anything to bring it down - wonder if I should ask about that? Do you know what that means in terms of it being under/overactive?

Had a bizarre couple of weeks where my temp has been a whole degree higher than normal - been waking up hot in the night and just can’t seen to get it down. The last few days it’s been 37.5 pre- ovulation! Don’t feel poorly at all and seems to have come from nowhere - any ideas?!

LJS8987 · 24/02/2019 18:02

Hello can I Jump on please!?

TTC#1
Cycle who knows
Age 31

I had my 2nd consecutive MC at the end of January- started bleeding on 28th Jan (the day after seeing a heartbeat at a private scan 😩)

I am waiting for my first period- I anticipate it's on its way (I have all of the spots!!) BFP/AF will be due around the end of March maybe the beginning of April- not hopeful I'll be lucky enough to get pregnant straight away but like the support on the bus!

🤞🏻 for everyone! X

mrsawhite · 24/02/2019 18:03

Excellent have also enjoyed a glass of wine while DH watched football. Making hopefully the most of being able to enjoy a glass for a while!

lori2019 · 24/02/2019 18:44

TWW starts for me too. We were supposed to have a weekend away but a car tyre blew out on the way meaning a tow truck home & no where to sort it til Monday.

Am hoping that's the only bad luck we are having this month! Made up for it with dinner out last night and dtd.

Let these two weeks go quickly please 🤞🏻

CoachBombay · 24/02/2019 19:38

Oh ladies I've just come back from emergency gynea ward...I'm having a bit of a nightmare! So AF never arrived and this afternoon I suddenly had a lot of pain in my pelvis region, it was taking my breath away.

Anyway long story short I have mild OHSS from 50mg of Clomid?! 50!! But every cloud has a silver lining from my pelvic scans it's possible I've either just ovulated or may be about to 😂

The OHSS will subside on its own in time and it's only mild (I can't imagine the pain of a actually full blown episode!) So suppose I'm in TWW again as me and DH have been busy this weekend. 🤷😂

bunhead34 · 24/02/2019 19:41

@MollyD88 I think it means the thyroid is under active, as that's what the medicine I got is for!
What was your result?
It's all so confusing!

ronniemipperton · 24/02/2019 20:31

Wow @CoachBombay that’s pretty scary! Great news about the ovulation though, fingers crossed for you. Hope it’s not hurting anymore.

Sorry about your weekend away not happening, @lori2019 - I guess it’ll make for a memorable weekend if you’ve conceived :D

And sorry to hear about your MC @LJS8987 - mine (also a 2nd) was around the same time. It sucks. But, onwards and upwards.

Joopy · 24/02/2019 20:57

Jumping on the bus, AF arrived 5 days late. I've just ordered a clear blue ovulation predictor as I fell pregnant first time using one. It's taken so long for DH to feel ready for a second, I'm nearly 40 so I don't want to waste time.

Cycle 2
TTC #2

MilkyMum23 · 24/02/2019 21:25

OK so AF was due yesterday, still hasn't arrived. Been feeling slightly crampy and was really hot in bed last night, so going to do a test in the morning and see. Not feeling too optimistic but only one way to find out.

Read somewhere that a few people's AF was delayed after they started the Seven Seas Conception vitamin so...

Having a glass of wine to relax tonight too, mrsawhite and MollyD88 Smile

CoachBombay · 24/02/2019 21:30

Thanks *Ronnie" I'm ok, I just didn't know what the pain was. I was concerned I had an ectopic if I'm honest and for some random weird hpt's weren't coming up positive.

But thank goodness all fine(ISH) been given some co-codamol to ease the pain. Going to have a cheeky glass of gin later and watch the Oscars eating Cadbury chocolate fingers I found left over in the cupboard from Christmas 😂

sukisydney · 25/02/2019 06:47

@CoachBombay glad you're feeling better, what a scare, glad all is ok.

Anyone else well up watching a certain big Oscars acceptance speech (no spoilers in case anyone will be saving it to watch later...) StarThanksSmile

sukisydney · 25/02/2019 07:24

(...Although I reckon it's headline news everywhere so hard to avoid!)

TulipsTwoLips · 25/02/2019 09:34

May I join please! ✋🏼

Temp charts, opks, vitamins and gel - we’ve gone for it all this month!

Now 1dpo and waiting....

🤞🏼 for all

HappyGoLuckyGo · 25/02/2019 15:27

Finally got around to dtd yesterday on CD9! Little one is poorly so I was up three times in the night and was definitely questioning my sanity in ttc#2... 😱 He’s napping now so will enjoy perusing the photos of the Oscar outfits Grin

Gothqueen · 25/02/2019 17:51

Can I hop on please? Had diarthermy on my cervix in Jan followed by AF in Feb so hopefully this month is it.
So far, my DP and I have been TTC since Sept 18 and had a mc in November at around 7 weeks. On every vitamin going and on THE biggest healthkick. Good luck to everyone else on this bus 😊

CoachBombay · 25/02/2019 19:49

Hello everyone who has joined, wishing you all the best of luck.

For me I'm post O, cervix is low and firm. So it's just a waiting game now for me. I've decided not to test or wee on anything because I don't know how many dpo I am so it will just lead to neurotic behaviour 😂.

I'll test second weekend of March if no AF by then. I have also decided no more cheap dip sticks because the evaps are intolerable, so I'll just purchase a clear blue digital. But only one! They are too expensive to waste!! 🙈

ronniemipperton · 25/02/2019 20:13

I’m aiming for second week of March to test if AF hasn’t turned up, too 👍

barnburntdown · 25/02/2019 20:45

Hello all. Think am 1 or 2 dpo.

Question re digital opks. Didn't use opks this month but assumed I'd be ovulating on day 12 as usual. Curiosity got the better & took an opk yesterday (cd12) at 6pm and it showed low fertility. Now I'm thinking if it would be at all possible if I had ovulated 12 hours earlier than that it could show up as a negative opk then 12 hours later ? Only ask as I dtd Sunday morning at 1am. ...

Other than that only did twice in the 6 days preceding. So I have zero hopes this time round. It only takes one swimmer.. but we didn't dtd enough. Sigh.

LJS8987 · 25/02/2019 21:54

@barnburntdown it depends which opk you used...I know the clear blue ones (with the taunting flashing face) use your first test as a baseline so even if you were peak fertile period it would be an empty circle- that's why you have to start to early in the cycle

LJS8987 · 25/02/2019 21:56

@ronniemipperton sorry for your loss too!
It's horrendous but all you can literally do is keep on trying! I'm less neurotic this time around which can only be a good thing 🤷🏼‍♀️
