[ValidUser]

Starting new thread - no stats though.

@Alltheusersnamesaregone welcome and you've come to the right place!
How old are you? How long have you been trying and whereabouts in this cycle are you? X

@Alltheusersnamesaregone welcome to the supportive and lovely group you could have wished for. These ladies have been amazing to me x

Welcome @alltheusernamesaregone.

AF due any time between tomorrow and next Friday, I thought I ov'd early-ish again due to EWCM, but then I seemed to have more EWCM later so who knows what to expect 🤷

Still feeling a complete lack of pms, although I have noticed my skin seems to have become suddenly oily (usually very dry). Hoping af isn't here when I wake up, always like clockwork, comes bang on time the morning it's due

Also welcome @Alltheusersnamesaregone as you've probably seen by now, you could say pretty much anything on this thread and no one would think you're mad 😂 so supportive 💖

Hi I was missed off last two threads I’m currently recovering from my laparoscopic surgery where they found stage two endometriosis and burnt it away. I have had this ongoing issue and pain since November so glad I have a diagnosis. Husband had been so good through it all.

Age- 28
Cycle- 6
Cycle day- no idea as still recovering

Welcome back @Pinksunset1!

Welcome to the TTC madness @Alltheusersnamesaregone!

@Pinksunset1 Welcome back, I hope you are recovering well and it’s great to hear DH has been so supportive too ♥️

Good luck this morning @Mrskcam I hope AF stays well away!

Hi sorry I haven't been around, not been in a positive mindset. Didn't get an email notification with my tag for some reason! But thanks for the new thread @LokiCat :)

Been away for a few days so not been on to see if there's been any bfp's in the last week?

Anyway:
Ttc#1
Cycle 10, but since may 2018
Day 6
Pelvic scan booked in 👍 possible issues due to past surgeries

Think that's it... AF almost over finally. Still probably writing on here for a bit until feeling more positive but hope to see bfp's from everyone :)

Thinking of you @starkid! It'll be good to have some answers. Getting my stuck together insides looked at was a great move here!

@ValidUser good luck today at the dr! What CD are you now? When do you get your trigger shot?

@starkid positive things moving forward, hopefully you will get some answers and be able to go from there 💖

@MrsEG ahhh thank you!!

No AF as of yet and usually I would've woken up to her or at least some spotting or cramping .... nada. Will get a test last on today if nothing happens.

Morning ladies! Happy Friday!

Just catching up with all the posts as we so busy at work yesterday I barely had time to breathe let alone check in!

@purplefig I am glad to soo someone else's positive OPK just appears from nowhere! Hope you managed to DTD as planned!

@MrsEG can I ask why they recommend taking aspirin? I feel exactly the same I really wanted to give myself one full cycle before trying again but turns out we did DTD the day before OV day and on the day and terrified if it turns out by some fluke we do get a BFP this cycle!

@MrsH497 your tattoo is lovely ❤️

@ValidUser good luck for your scan!

@alltheusernamesaregone hello and welcome to the thread!

@Pinksunset1 welcome back, hope you have a speedy recovery.

@starkid 👋🏻 glad to hear AF is almost over!

I am so glad its almost the weekend, it's been such a long week! Going holiday shopping tomorrow and then to see friends on Sunday so shaping up to be a nice weekend! What's everyones plans?

Cycle day 9 now @KatBeCool! Lefty has a lovely follicle. Not quite big enough yet.

Repeat scan on Monday and then trigger, hopefully!

Just had a notification from flo to log the beginning of my period ... sorry mate, she ain't here!

Question; gonna buy a test later, should I test tonight or in the morning??

@ValidUser - that’s great news!! I bet you can’t wait for Monday :)

On a possible side note as I don't think it is related but does anyone know of any reasons why a persons skin can become suddenly prone to bruising? The last 4 days I've found I bruise like a peach!! To the point where I'm starting to get little paw print bruises from my kitty jumping on my lap??

@Mrskcam If AF is late, you can take a test at any time of the day :)

@ValidUser Great news! Good luck for next week!

@Lozzlepop So, I’ve had three MCs now which suggests a possible issue, especially as two of them were natural losses with a heavy blood loss. So one possible reason could be my blood is too thick, so taking a very low-dose aspirin thins the blood and gives me a better shot. But please, please don’t take my word for it - the nurses have okay’ed me to try it as we’ve had recurrent losses but I would definitely ask a doctor before trying anything!

@MrsEG thanks for sharing, I was thinking it may be for blood thinning as I remember my grandparents taking it for this reason. Its funny how quickly you begin to feel ready to try again when at the time its the worst experience! I hope you are feeling ok about everything I would say listen to your body and maybe don't use OPKs just yet, maybe try a relaxed approach for this cycle and try OPKs the next as I know 10weeks is a long time to wait.

@Lozzlepop Yep; at the time you can’t think about it at all and literally days later you’re checking an app to see when you might Ov!

We’ve decided to at the very least take this month off, just relax. I’d really like to get the appointment as once under them I’ll get amazing antenatal care (bi-weekly scans in first trimester) so I’m hoping the appointment comes in sooner rather than later! Good luck to you this month - FX you caught that pesky egg x

@MrsEG It's mad at the time I thought wow I will never get over this but time really is a healer! Yes that sounds like a good plan! Thanks lovely! I am really in 2 minds if I want to have caught this month as want to enjoy all the sangria on the holiday, AF due (prediction) 2days before we go 😂

I’ve started doing the opk strips. Only done 3 days but then I realised they should be done in the afternoon or evening. I was doing them at 6:30am!

Just thought I would tell everyone in case anyone else has made the same mistake as me.

Also we are literally booking a holiday today to go next Wednesday. So excited 😆 it will hopefully take my mind off the TWW

Thank you @MrsEG and @ELW85!

@XjustagirlX yaaaaay for the holiday, it's fun booking something so close to going isn't it! Where are you headed?

@lozzlepop we are off to Turkey. I can’t wait. I just want to spend all week reading my books and DTD.
