Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

@MotherOfShihTzus I had 3 sessions of acupuncture although it didn't necessarily help me conceive it was so relaxing

@MotherOfShihTzus I've had about 6 Accupuncture sessions and going to continue for as long as I can afford it. Unfortunately I don't always relax as I'm petrified of needles, however I can definitely say that it's made my cycles more regular as I was all over the place and for the last 3 months have been standard 28 days with ovulation on cd 14...
hope you manage to find it relaxing as like @MrsH497 most people find it lovely and relaxing

Picked up my progesterone today.

6-7 dpo and haven't tested yet. How unlike me! 😂

Anny27 · 16/09/2019 19:36

When will you test @ValidUser? I am 8dpo today - not tested yet haha. Not having any symptoms atall so gonna try hold out

ValidUser · 16/09/2019 20:13

@Anny27 I'll test in about 3 days because I want to start progesterone ASAP.

I've had 2 chemicals, so no longer seeing it as unlikely. Here's hoping baby sticks this time.

Lemonysherbet · 16/09/2019 21:12

I'm crampy and irritable. In fact I've been a right cow today!! 8dpo, poor DH, it's gonna be a long week until AF appears 😂😂😂

Absa · 16/09/2019 21:18

FFS hurry up AF & put me out my misery.... I know you're lurking! Can just tell she's going to arrive any hour, just get it over with pleassssee!

GalaxyGirl24 · 17/09/2019 11:25

Hi

Just joining this post, hope that’s okay _

Stats:

TTC baby no 1
Cycle 6, currently day 20
26 yrs old, husband 28
Stopped the Microgynon pill after 10 years of use 6months ago

Getting so frustrated with the process and the 2ww every month is awful, currently I have some back pain and some sensations in lower pelvic area, but could just be AF.
Was 5 days late last month, convinced I was PG (was on honeymoon) but then came on the day we flew home - was devastated.

Lemonysherbet · 17/09/2019 12:06

Welcome @galaxygirl24

The tww is super frustrating, I'm a sucker for over analysing everything that my body decides to do which doesn't help me. I feel sick and have back ache today, my heart says pregnant, my mind says I'm hungry and have back ache 😂

How you doing @absa , did she rear her ugly head?

Anny27 · 17/09/2019 13:46

Welcome @GalaxyGirl24 :)
Yep the TWW is the worst :(

We are on cycle 4 and i am 27. Also in thw TWW (9dpo today!)

Hoping you get your bfp soon :)

Heres hoping its PG @lemonysherbet! My boobs are a little sore but not too much. Hoping I manage to avoid early testing :S

Lemonysherbet · 17/09/2019 14:02

Oh yes I should have said I'm 31 TTC no.1 and this is our third cycle. Cycle 1 was back in march and then we had a break and started again last month. I got a bfp when AF was due but sadly lost it a week later.

@anny27 I think it's wishful thinking from my heart, last month I had the most sensitive boobs and erect nips (😂) before I got my BFP but they're not really doing much this month! So I'm guessing it's just af symptoms gearing up and I'm reading too much into them. I go on holiday Sunday so if things ramp up I'll buy a test to take with me as AF is due then, otherwise I'll just ride it out

GalaxyGirl24 · 17/09/2019 14:04

@Lemonysherbet yes same, every single feeling I get now i find myself googling as to whether it's a very early PG symptom! 😖 x

@Anny27 I hope you get a BFP too! My boobs are a bit sore also but then again it seems to be a normal symptom leading up to AF for me. I stupidly did a test today only like 5/6 DPO which was BFN and I know it may not be accurate, and I shouldn't have done it but just couldn't help myself! It really knocks you to see BFN repeatedly though x

GalaxyGirl24 · 17/09/2019 14:05

@Lemonysherbet really sorry to hear about your MC ❤️

Absa · 17/09/2019 14:18

@Lemonysherbet not yet! You know when you just have that feeling? Day late but also BFN checked lots of times so just waiting for the inevitable

Makeafamily19 · 17/09/2019 15:23

Hi ladies, can I join? Been following this thread for a while. Also on some other threads and finding the support helpful.

Sorry about your MC @Lemonysherbet 🙁

CD1 as AF got me this morning
Cycle 4

Lemonysherbet · 17/09/2019 18:25

Thanks @galaxygirl24 and @makeafamily19 (and welcome to the chat, everyone is lovely and reassuring and we help each other get through the good and bad times :) )

I've got so many odd symptoms I don't know what's going on this month. Only 9pdo so it's too early to tell too! Are itchy nipples even a thing?!!

Kiza · 17/09/2019 19:29

Holding out hope for you @Absa 🤞🏼

How was your first Accupuncture session @MotherOfShihTzus?

@Lemonysherbet @Anny27 are you two feeling a bit better in your moods from yesterday?

So cd28 and 13dpo, AF due any day between today and Saturday. Literally zero symptoms and no pre menstrual symptoms either, usually get spotting a few days before AF and cramping before. Gonna try and hold out testing till the weekend 🙏🏼

Lemonysherbet · 17/09/2019 19:54

@kiza I'm always a bit of a Mardy cow but less so today 😂 thanks for checking in on me

Kiza · 17/09/2019 20:48

@Lemonysherbet we're hormonal beings- we're allowed to be 😆

ValidUser · 17/09/2019 21:26

Good evening all. Welcome new people!

I have a vvvvvvvvv faint line that may still be from the trigger shot. Or may be the beginning of a BFP.

Going to start my progesterone tonight just in case and keep testing. 🤞

Lemonysherbet · 17/09/2019 21:35

Oh exciting @ValidUser keep us updated. I'm crossing everything for you!

I feel so weird tonight, I've got achey legs, back ache and mild cramps. Feel sick. But I feel ill from it all more than I think I'm pregnant. It's worrying me

ValidUser · 17/09/2019 22:20

@Lemonysherbet cautiously pleased!

Thinking of you and your strange crampiness! X

MrsH497 · 17/09/2019 23:04

Ooh @ValidUser keeping everything crossed for you!! My bfp started as honestly the squintiest squinter!

@Lemonysherbet also keeping everything crossed your symptoms are good
Xx
