@anny27 it really is and I just don't understand it its so frustrating to know nothing is wrong but it's just not happening every single month the hope just to get pulled from under you. I've contacted the private doctor and I've asked for clomid, I'm going to take that for a few cycles and hope for the best x

@Gems7 cycle buddies xx I think I'm going to eat whatever I like 😩

PrettyTulip · 24/08/2020 08:33

@Gems7 OMG I've just caught up! I'm totally devastated for you .. getting them strong positives to then have it taken away from you has got to be worse than constantly seeing the one line instead of two. 💔

@Missgoldilocks sorry AF has arrived again for you, 🌷

Don't blame yourselves ladies, these things are unexplainable and IT WILL happen one day for us all 🤗
I started taking that powder stuff that was recommended earlier on in the thread on Saturday so fingers crossed it helps me somehow, although I think I'm beyond help 😂 xx

Annny27 · 24/08/2020 09:58

Morning ladies, cd7 for me now so probably start dtd soon......

@gems7 how is AF - is it heavier and more crampy than usual? :( how is your OH taling the news? I've been thinking about you all weekend and just how painful it must be 💗

@Missgoldilocks clomid will give you a good chance of producing more eggs in the hope that atleast one will be fertilised 🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞

@PrettyTulip yayy hope this works! Whens your next fertility appointment?

Gems7 · 24/08/2020 10:16

@PrettyTulip Thanks huni 😘 my emotions have been on a rollercoaster these last few months that's for sure.
Remind me what that powder does again? Did you order it from amazon?

@Annny27 AF is horrible 😒 so so heavy, way more than usual and painful too, I don't usually have much pain but this one is hurting me.
My GP is on holiday for 2 weeks at the moment but I have made a telephone apt (thanks Covid) for 8th sept, will have a chat with her then and see what she says.

My OH takes it all in his stride, he's always cool and composed about everything in life but I know inside he will be hurting. I just can't shake off the guilt I feel every time I look at him.
I officially became an auntie today though, I have a nephew and he is beautiful so at least I get to have some baby cuddles xx

Do you plan to do anything different this month? You're still using the progesterone aren't you? I think I may need some of those! Xx

Annny27 · 24/08/2020 10:27

@gems7 congratulations auntie 💗💗 my nephew was born just after my miscarriage and it was bittersweet but I love him so much 💗

Not gonna do anything different. W ehave bought the syringes just incase we cba and I might try and really dtd lots around ovulation when I get a positive opk. But other than that just every other day untill then!

Yep my DH doesn't outwardly cry like I do obviously but I know he would love to be a dad!!

Gems7 · 24/08/2020 11:24

@Annny27 It must be really hard for them, they are so powerless when it comes to ttc and seeing how upset we get can't be nice for them can it. He just gives me lots of cuddles and I know how upset he is inside. He really wants a baby.
Hopefully it will still happen for us. 🙏🏻
I really don't think you need to do anything different, as long as you are having sex around ovulation surely that's all you need, it amazes me how people get pregnant from one night stands, fucking ONCE!! ONE TIME!! 🤯 xx

PrettyTulip · 24/08/2020 18:52

@Gems7 that annoys me so much too! Especially now when I've been trying so long and people just get up the duff with a click of a finger 😠

The powder is something alongside folic acid .. I think @Laur89 recommended it? It's got fab reviews on Amazon so thought I'd give it a whirl.. it's meant to be good for people with PCOS so fingers crossed it will be helping me in some way!

@Anny27 I haven't got an appt with fertility atm. Awaiting the drs to sort out my ovulation help but I'm guessing they've got to get funding approval first 🤔 xx

Missgoldilocks · 24/08/2020 20:30

Yep @Gems7 @PrettyTulip it's a joke. My mum came over yesterday and before even saying hello to me told me my cousins pregnant.. I was like Ok well I got my period just today rather not hear lol and she ignored me and went on saying how they wasn't even trying and gave me a look as if its my fault I'm not getting pregnant because I'm trying so hard. Fuuuuuuck out of here like who even does that knowing it would be a sore subject. Honestly the cheek of it.

I spoke to the doctor and he's telling me. About 500 pound scans and trigger shots I'm not. Doing that. I'm getting my blood levels checked tomorrow for LH and FSH and testosterone since that's the only test they haven't don't yet and I bought isoflavones to start in a day or 2!

@PrettyTulip glad you're looking into some things to see if it helps xx

Annny27 · 25/08/2020 09:07

@gems7 totally and also men don't get the build up to disappointment that we do r.g. noticing our boobs arent sore or seeing spotting. They just get the "we arent pregnant my period came". Hard for them!

And yes if i ever have someone tell me they got pregnsnt on the pill when they drank loads and it was either guy A or guy B who is the dad, I might explode haha

@Missgoldilocks ahh thats not nice for your mum to be saying that :( hopefully she gauged by your reaction not to talk babies or pregnancy

@PrettyTulip it literally seems crazy to me that people can get pregnant from one time 🤣🤣🤣

Annny27 · 30/08/2020 08:19

how are we getting on girls? Cd13 today still negative opk so probably in a day or two I imagine!

Dtd everyday this month 👀🙈

Laur89 · 02/09/2020 14:21

Hey girls how are you all? @Gems7 I'm so sorry to hear your news, sending you a big hug 🤗 how are things now?
That powder is called myo inositol, it helps with ovulation, I took it with my first and also this time around. I can send more info if anyone wants :)
@Annny27 @Missgoldilocks @PrettyTulip how are you all girls?

Gems7 · 02/09/2020 15:03

Hey girls,

Sorry I've been a bit quiet, looks like we all have though. I'm a bit down about it all really, my GP telephone apt isnt until the 8th.
I'm on CD11, haven't DTD once so far and won't be doing it today either I wouldn't imagine 😏 don't ovulate until around CD 14/15 anyway so there's still time to catch this month but I just feel like it's hopeless and my body wouldn't nurture it anyway.

Hope you are all feeling more positive and cheerful than I am haha

@Annny27 here's hoping all that DTD works for you like it did for me 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

PrettyTulip · 02/09/2020 19:53

Hi girls...
I'm feeling abit down today, my friend who i started TTC back in Jan 2019 has just announced she's pregnant again (her 1st is now 10 months) 😞

Gems7 · 02/09/2020 20:40

@PrettyTulip I'm sorry lovely ☹️ that's really shit!! Sending you huge virtual hugs 😘
Your dreams will come true too, it's just taking a little longer and you have a few hurdles to jump over but you are definitely going to get there, we all are xxx

Annny27 · 03/09/2020 08:05

Morning girls :) cd17 and I have ovulated and either 1dpo or 2dpo :) dtd everydsy for 7 days haha so looking forward to the break 😂

@PrettyTulip omg thats so tough lovely! Does your friend know you have also been trying?
Yeah i am thinking people who would have started ttc in June 2019 would have had their babies on March if they conceived first try and will maybe be thinking about another! Its tough

@gems7 after going through a second miscarriage its totally understandable for you to be upset and a bit all over the place. Really really tough 💗

@laur89 I have heard a lot of people rave about the myo inositol:D

@Missgoldilocks how are you lovely?

Missgoldilocks · 03/09/2020 14:35

Hi everyone, still here just trying to keep my mind off it. That'll be hard once I ovulate but yeah feeling down about the time it's taking a bit like everyone else! Lots of stressful things going on anyway covid has royally messed up a lot of work bits!
I took isoflavones this cycle I got mixed up instead of inositol but hey let's see what happens I was getting strong ovulation pains. I'm due to ovulate on Sunday so I'm thinking dtd Friday twice Saturday twice Sunday and hope for the best! How is everyone getting on?

@Gems7 so sorry 🙏 I can't imagine how down you feel honestly just take it one day at a time x

@PrettyTulip that's so shit sorry chick xxx

@anny27 wow that sounds great!! You have well and truly covered all bases!! Xx

msunflower · 03/09/2020 22:00

@Gems7 I'm so sorry, sending hugs and support your way 😔✨

PrettyTulip · 05/09/2020 16:18

Hope you're okay @Gems7 , been thinking about you. Have you managed to DTD yet? X

Gems7 · 05/09/2020 16:55

@PrettyTulip ahhh thanks angel, I am okay thank-you, just plodding along! Drained with it all just like all you girls.
Haven't had my positive opk yet, I think I will get it later tonight as it's been getting darker on my cheapies but still a flashing smiley on the clearblue ones. We have managed to DTD yes, we did it last night and this morning so I'm back in the game! 😂😭🥱
I have a telephone apt with my GP on Tues so really really hoping she will refer me so I can get some progesterone and other tests done etc.
I hope you are doing okay lovey, and having a fab weekend 😘
Where are all you girls in your cycle? Xx

Annny27 · 05/09/2020 17:24

Evening girls :) I am 3dpo so starting my progesterone tonight! Seemed to keep the spotting away last month so all good :D

@gems7 back on the ttc sex slog 🙈 I wondered whether ovulstion would be delayed with your miscarriage but doesn't seem to be that delayed which is promissing!

@prettytulip nothing to lose by trying that powder :D

@Missgoldilocks covid has been so rubbish for so many businesses 😭 whats the difference between the two supplements?

PrettyTulip · 06/09/2020 07:55

@Gems7 oh that's good then! Hoping you have timed it well!!

Dunno what day I'm on but I'm now on day 15 of using that powder. Haven't noticed a difference in myself but deffo had lots of CM over the last couple of days so fingers crossed it is doing something 😉
I'm still awaiting to hear from my drs regarding ovulation help but with all the Covid situations at the moment I don't wanna hassle them lol. I'll just wait patiently and hope this powder helps me out lol xx

Missgoldilocks · 06/09/2020 22:14

@anny27 isoflavones works like clomid. However I won't be using it again since I haven't ovulated :( I always ovulate cd15 and all my opks are blank and I've got no ewcm. We dtd Friday and twice yesterday we will do it tonight in case I get the peak a day later but I'm totally bummed about it. How do you feel?

How's everyone else?

Annny27 · 07/09/2020 09:15

Morning :D 5dpo now - going fast this time as I am keeping busy!

@Missgoldilocks thats so frustrating! So no signs of ovulation yet? Have you seen anything online where people have seen late ovulation by using it?

@PrettyTulip you arw calmer than me haha. I would be chasing constantly for my prescription of clomid 😂😂

@gems7 thinking of you as always :)

Missgoldilocks · 07/09/2020 11:12

@anny27 yes it makes some people ovulate later 😩😭 wish I never touched anything now!! Just gotta keep daily testing and see if something happens! It's weird I had like a slight line around cd10 you know faded... Since cd13 tho they've been completely blank. Fml! Good luck babes I hope you get pregnant this cycle xx

@Gems7 how are you hun? Xx

@PrettyTulip hey how you doing xx

Gems7 · 07/09/2020 13:22

@Annny27 😘 Thankyou hun, I gave a good feeling about you this month, really hope the next 2 weeks fly by for you xx

@Missgoldilocks I'm okay thanks, got my positive opk last night so OV day today for me, DTD last night and will try again later today. I'm not excited though because I just feel like even if I got pregnant the same thing would happen again, I'm almost scared to get a BFP really but don't want to stop trying either. 😭 I'll see what my gp has to say tomorrow, I won't be testing early anymore.
I'm sorry your cycle is messed up this month, it's hard to know what to take and what not to take isn't it. I think you will just be ovulating slightly later this cycle. Do you test twice a day? Xx
