I keep thinking you can go to gp after 12 months of trying but what will they do? I’ve had bloods which say fertility good, dp had his sperm done, which is okay.. so 🤷‍♀️ I know I only started in July but it seems crazy to still not of fallen pregnant, no contraception, having sex at the right time, what else can you do! I know they say stress doesn’t help but a lot of people fall pregnant who are under a lot of stress.
It’s so bizarre! Anyway rant over! Cd2.. due to ovulate 27th but we will see! Xx

MrsA2019 · 15/12/2019 23:58

@Sunflower2019 I know it's frustrating! I'm going to gp on Tuesday to see if they will do bloods etc (only been trying since August but just want someone to tell me all is ok!)
If they just tell me that all it is is a time thing and nothing wrong I feel I would be ok with that but I just know that with each month that passes I'd be sad thinking why hasn't it happened when everything seemed to be right.

So frustrating! Maybe the stars just need to align perfectly or something! Having said that the moon was so low and big tonight and almost full. Super orange as well. I'm a midwife and we are quite superstitious when it's a full moon as it always tends to be busy.,,.maybe this moon will be in our baby making favour!!

So after ds1 we tried for over a year without success. GP did bloods to check I was ovulating first. Then we were referred to a fertility doctor where DH had his swimmers checked & I had a die test (to check tubes) it didn't work so I had a laparoscopy) all this took over a year so i'd say anyone in this position go as soon as you hit a year. At that point they'll discuss iui or IVF. Unfortunately both my tubes were blocked so I got a diagnosis of secondary infertility and not eligible for NHS IVF. We decided against private & just got on with life (after a while!) Fast forward to now I've had ds2 & 2 mc's so something's working again!

Ange211 · 16/12/2019 07:08

Also my current GP did bloods for me after mc2 even though I was clearly ovulating! Think they just did it to reassure me (I'm 37 now so time isn't my friend) it did make me feel better so worth asking.

Sunflower2019 · 16/12/2019 08:10

Thanks @MrsA2019 and @Ange211 I’m definitely going to wait about 3/4 months then go back! My dp said he may get checked out privately, we will see!

Glad to see even though you had problems you did conceive @Ange211 :)

@MrsA2019 sooo weird me and dp were talking about the moon and I have a horoscope app and it said it was 85% I’m hoping I fall this month, currently on cd3 of af, due to ovulate 27th so hoping I’m all relaxed and it just happens this month, think I’ll stop with the bbt stuff this month as I kept waking early and was shattered! Xx

Katie1109 · 16/12/2019 09:18

Morning ladies how are we?
CD8 here and FW coming up in few days. I started opk today but very faint so still a bit to go - normally O day on CD15 x
@Ellsbells112 how are you, have you tested? x
Is anyone left to test, or are we all gearing up for festive DTD? x

Sorry to hear that AF arrived @Sophieb15 :(

Bleeding has finally stopped for me after 13 days, yay! clearblue app is showing blank circle for the third day so I suspect I might ovulate next week around xmas, so that could be interesting as we're away for the whole week.

Ange211 · 16/12/2019 11:00

I'm still testing every day as absolutely no idea when AF due. It's been 5 weeks since MC so could be any day really. Bfn every day though :(
Pretty sure we haven't DTD often enough though so gearing up to try smep next month.

Sunflower2019 · 16/12/2019 11:53

@Ellsbells112 hey girl, what’s going on with you!!!!? Xx

Sunflower2019 · 16/12/2019 11:56

@Quiffy only saw your reply! He’s happy to try but he’d ideally like to wait, but he said nobody is ever fully ready so 🤷‍♀️ He said he’d back excited if it happened. He’s just not taking it all seriously like id hope too, he still vapes and isn’t willing to giving it up although there are studies to say it affects sperm. Xx

Sunflower2019 · 16/12/2019 12:19

Hey guys so I spoke to a psychic online. Yes I must be mad but I think anyone is at this stage, only cost around £3 so can’t complain but this is what she has told me...

Through spirit and from what the tarot cards are showing between yourself and your partner this is going to be a soul mates of yours and there are meant to be many goals obtained both within the near and distant future between one another and it is showing there will be successive extended home growth of Home and family between one another this will bring forth of joy happiness and solidarity between your energies.

it is revealing triumph and success within conception in pregnancy to take place within the month of May of this coming new year it is not showing any unforeseen issues obstacles or problems with in this pregnancy only success.

it is showing this to be a happy healthy pregnancy happy healthy birth it is showing connection to feminine energy once again it is showing this to be a girl from what I'm picking up I do wish you all the best of luck many blessings to you

Katie1109 · 16/12/2019 12:43

@Sunflower2019 can I have some details to that psychic? I feel like I could use some insight lol x

OP posts:
Katie1109 · 16/12/2019 13:03

@Sunflower2019 out of curiosity, would you prefer a girl if you could choose? x

OP posts:
Sunflower2019 · 16/12/2019 13:11

@Katie1109 I have a dd already but I do love having a daughter and would feel more at ease having another, but my dp would love a son and I’m sure I’d be just as happy too! It’s the getting pregnant part that gets to me!

Yes I found her on Etsy.. I’ll get the details xx

Katie1109 · 16/12/2019 14:34

I've requested one @Sunflower2019, nothing to lose have I? Maybe it will put a smile on my face...but knowing my luck it will make me cry lol.
Has your af arrived yet @Sunflower2019? x are you planning on testing still?x

OP posts:
Sunflower2019 · 16/12/2019 15:14

@Katie1109 you’ll have to let me know what she says :) I think it’s a nice feeling anyway, she had good reviews too! May seems a long way away for me though 🤷‍♀️😩
I’m cd3, so 2 day’s left of af! Xxx

Katie1109 · 16/12/2019 18:19

@Sunflower2019 I’ve got mine back x there’s what she said:
Through spirit and from what the tarot cards are showing it does reveal. surrounding aspects of pregnancy conception this is something that will take place it is showing triumph it is showing success within aspects of conception and pregnancy this is showing to take place very soon, I cannot see exactly when but spirits are very strong surrounding you, you might even get what you are waiting for in the coming weeks this will be intended for this will be wilted for by both of you.

I’d say that’s a lot of bollocks quite frankly 😂😂

Ange211 · 16/12/2019 20:51

Nhs guidelines are after a year if under 36 but sooner if over 36 (or existing infertility issues) . I have personal experience of having fertility tests and everything takes ages once you start the process. So go sooner rather than later is my advice.

Quiffy · 16/12/2019 22:26

@Mrslane2019 sexmas! That is brilliant. Fingers crossed for you!

How’s everyone doing? Did you test @Ellsbells112?

I’m back home to my thermometer and pee sticks now. I put my back out today so the last thing I want to do is have my hoofs in the air but needs must... Think we’re planning on starting dtd from tomorrow onwards. Fingers crossed for some red nosed festive spermies and a ripe egg nog 🤞🤞🤞

Symptomspotter86 · 16/12/2019 22:34

What CD are you @quiffy?

Af has just finished today so CD5 and dont think I will start Opks until CD10 as seem to be ovulating around CD16 at the moment and dont want to waste my CB ones. I'm actually going to hold out DTD until FW so we are gagging for it by then and then it won't seem like such a marathon haha.

Quiffy · 16/12/2019 22:58

@symptomspotter86 cd8 for me and due to ovulate Saturday 21st all going to plan. We’re the same this month, not done anything for awhile (mainly due to busy) so really looking forward this time around!

Ellsbells112 · 16/12/2019 23:23

@katie1109 @Sunflower2019 hey girls didn't test didn't need to!! I'm having the heaviest painful period ever urghhh and I'm on an absolutely bloody beaut island!! Hopefully the bleeding settles it's so bad!
@Sunflower2019 looks like you and me are cycle buddies again I'm due to ovulate around 29th or 30th xx

Ktn35 · 17/12/2019 00:04
