March bus!

[bunhead34]

I thought I'd start a march bus as I'm def out for feb 👹

Ttc #1
Cycle # 9
I'm 34, H 30

Waiting for cd21/thyroid blood test results next week and will go from there. Had good results on my scan last week.
Can't be arsed with opk/spem/conceive plus Or any of that, so taking the month off. Will just be sure to dtd around expected ov 🤷🏼‍♀️
And continuing with acupuncture.

Hello ladies!

So sorry I have been quiet, had a bit of a manic half term here!

My OHSS has calmed down and hopefully will pass soon, I'm no longer bloated and the pain is only a niggle now and again. I'm probably about 10dpo...problem is hospital ward called back the other day on-call Dr to discuss my scans and they are now concerned I may have released 3 or more eggs! I did however calm them down by saying not to worry too much as 50% of my eggs don't work due to a genetic condition so could only be one good one or all bad. It's the luck of the draw sadly. They seemed calmer about it by the end.

I've done no symptom spotting because really there's nothing to spot..so I'm just sitting here waiting....and waiting....and waiting!

Hi ladies,

Firstly congrats to LJS8987

AF arrived one week late! Was so upset, not sure why as I didn't actually think I was pregnant but just feel so down every time it comes.

Have started using the Ovia fertility app, has anyone else used it? Is it worth using and accurate? Or am I wasting my time?

Had a frank chat with DH last week and said he has to take it more seriously, he's the one who is desperate for another baby and yet is a bit resistant to finding time to dtd when required. We'll see how we go.

Sorry @MilkyMum23 @WrexhamBuxom - hope next month is luckier. And @ronniemipperton sorry next month won't work out - can you go wild doing all the things we 'shouldn't' for a couple of weeks to make up for it?

@CoachBombay glad your pain has subsided, at least you know the eggs were ready and waiting, fingers crossed it's your month!

I think I'm fertile but DH is ill and anxious/depressed so is not really on board this month. Pretty gutted as after the CP I was feeling really eager to try again. Going to see if he feels better about it all later, but I reckon I've only got a 24 hour window left...

Have brown discharge at 8dpo ....never this early to start AF. No idea what's going on and don't want to get hopes up 're implantation bleeding but .......

Well, my opk is negative this morning 👍🏻

So looks like I'm ovulating early. At least I can now expect a shorter cycle! Tho I don't know why this is a regular thing 😑

First time in a while my ovary was hurting for a good few hours, so hopefully that means I've ovulated now. Pain is gone completely this morning, and dtd last night. 🤞🏻

Off to the hospital today for some test results. Feeling positive, hoping for some answers.

@Wishful30 Good luck with your hospital appointment today. How short have your cycles been? Hopefully using the OPKs will have helped this month 🤞🤞

@barnburntdown secretly got everything crosssd it's implantation for you 🤞

@sukisydney hugs lovely x

@MilkyMum23 sorry af came x

I had cramps yesterday and my opk is now negative ( had my positive Sunday eve) so definitely think ovulation (🤞) was yesterday. Well my body attempted to at least! Bring on the 2ww torture!

@Peachyx2505
I have been 27/28 for ever!! But my last 2 cycles were 24 days. I didn't monitor anything. So going by my early ovulation, it'd make my cycle 24/25 days again.
I'm 36 soon, so that's a bit of a worry 🥺
I'll mention it to the doc later anyway.

Glad I've got a 2ww buddy lol
however even if i conceive, it probably won't stick... 🙄 hence the hospital appt!

Good luck, try not to drive yourself nuts xx

I use Ovia. I logged ovulation for a couple of months. Using the clear blue kits. Didn't this month but think I could tell physically when ovulated with EWDC. AF due on Saturday. Not sure at all if it's happened 🤷‍♀️

Would you test?

So I had AF which came a couple of days early it's been lighter but it did go though the bright red with bits in phase, so I thought I was out. But as of last night CD3 it just stopped abruptly. Usually flow just tapers off by day 5. Not had this happen before.

I'm wondering if I should do a test just to rule out something weird going on...

Anybody tested at 9dpo? The wait is so hard!

I tested at 10DPO last month, and 11, and 12... right up to when AF arrived exactly on time. Drove myself round the twist with tests.

Made the decision that there's no tests again until I'm late. Waste of anxiety and time - the outcome won't change. If the test is negative you'll just think but maybe hormones are too low to detect.

It's really hard but try to sit it out, distract yourself.

Of course all this only applies if you are regular.

Well I’m pretty sure I’m past FW and we’ve not managed to DTD as DH is unwell. Not that unwell, I’d have thought, but you can’t force someone. We’re going to be apart for 3 weeks in March/early April so think my next chance will be late April...! Frustrating. Fingers crossed to all those awaiting BFPs/AF...

So I caved with the early testing.

DH has bought some exciting new beers so before trying I did a test (Waitrose essentials), despite having 500ml of water an hour before... and I got a really faint positive.

I'm somewhere between 5-9dpo and CD23. Period not due until Monday. Cautiously optimistic as haven't had a hint of a line since TTC#2. Will get a frer and test again end of the week.

Oooh exciting @pyjamasforever !! Xx

That's brilliant pyjamas!
Tulip I am also 8 or 9dpo and cd22
The brown spotting /dcharge has stopped. I don't wanna get my hopes up after had a little spotting last month which stopped - although that was around 11dpo.

I feel exhausted zzzz

Basically I just want to go to bed with a hot chocolate and Google implantation bleeding...also got z weird stabby feeling on my left uterine wall (at least I think this is where it is ...) #obsessed

Well, I had my fertility appointment.
I officially have unexplained infertility. Really helpful diagnosis.

My uterus lining maybe an issue, so I am going to have a hysteroscopy, with biopsies and a scrape.
I've had blood tests for anticardiolipid, which is something to do with antibodies that could be causing me to reject my fertilised egg.
And lupus 😑

All these being normal, we are on the list for IVF.

I just want to cry, but I feel so numb about it right now.

Still going ahead with ttc naturally. And I'm going to do everything I can that's affordable to 'increase blood flow' to my uterus, as I'm pretty sure that's how I got pregnant last time.
It's sad that even if I get a bpf, I know it won't last...

What else can I do. I can't fix myself if the doctors have no answer.

Totally valid to go to bed with a hot choc @barnburntdown! I'm going to tuck myself up with a book soon.

@Wishful30 😔 I'm sorry. I have no words of wisdom but hopefully the tests etc will give you some answers and possible treatment options along with the IVF. Be kind to yourself xxx

Oh Wishful. That sounds really difficult. I think the truth is that quite often doctors don't have the answers or the solutions for everything, but that doesn't mean you need to lose hope. Fingers crossed your future tests are okay and you can move forward with IVF if that's what you want.

Wishful . Hopefully you'll get some info from the investigations. Unexplained fertility is indeed an unhelpful and catch all term. Take it easy x

@Wishful30 really sorry to hear you're going through a rocky road TTC, sending hugs xx

Sending you @Wishful30 . Don’t give up hope just yet.

Went out to get a frer this morning. CD24 and potentially around 10 dpo....

DH thought I was mad when I thought I saw a line on the test I did last night, but it's there!!

Oh wow @Pyjamasforever ! Massive congratulations!
