Ready to get crazy in January!! Who's with me!

[Ginge35]

Despite my TTC last month, it resulted in my AF arriving Christmas Day (deep joy!) it's round 2 this month! I'm due to ovulate on Monday (6th) so anyone else wanna join me, with the overthinking, being excessively paranoid, mystery pregnancy signs and taking PT's when you know you shouldn't be! 🤣🤣
Feel free to jump on the crazy train with me!

Thanks so much @00Bubbles00 🥰
Will keep an eye out for some BFP news in the next few days!! Good luck to all the ladies testing soon 🤞🤞xx

I'm due to test soon but I'm not even going to bother. I don't think I ovulated this month. Cycle #8 here we come 🙄

@FarmerWantsABaby hang in there. Did you use OPKs and BBT? I don’t think either are definitive. I’ve read articles saying that OPKs don’t always show a peak (and conversely can show a peak without ovulation occurring). BBT seems to work well for people with very regular sleeping patterns. It feels to me from looking at the commentary that they are helpful for some people who have committed to the charting for a while and have learnt their own patterns but that that takes a while. In short - I’m not sure any of our ‘home’ tests can actually tell us anything, they are just helpful guides. Fingers crossed for you. This whole process is so frustrating and slow!

@00Bubbles00 home OPK keeps showing flashing smiley with no peak, the cheapie sticks show nothing at all. BBT is complete zig zags with a lot of highs and lows (ranging from 36-34 in two/three days). All took at the same time every day. Checking CM and CP every day, all signs are leading to no ovulation or hyperthyroidism 😬 waiting on my blood results this week as this was all checked. Preparing myself for the worst, as I had said before my mum took fertility medication to conceive myself and my brothers (not sure what it was but I'm assuming it was clomid) so this is something I have always considered that I may face some day.
Went out on Saturday night and was grilled by a few girls I know about babies, it was harmless but I could have punched them out of anger! One even poked my belly and said "are you sure there's not one in there yet?" "You're taking your time aren't you?" I cannot even fathom that at this day and age people still think it's ok to ask women about children!!

Oh what a pain, I’m sorry. I have been tracking BBT and after a spike it has fallen back to pretty where it was pre-spike. Def doesn’t look like the textbook charts everyone shows on the internet. Hopefully the blood tests will show what is going on. My best friend discovered she wasn’t ovulating (despite OPK peaks) and after two cycles of chlomid now has beautiful twin girls. Similarly another friend became pregnant within two chlomid cycles. Science seems to be good at helping with anovulatory issues.

I am trying not to read too much into a falling BBT but it is a similar feeling to a negative pregnancy test...i.e. quiet resignation that this isn’t a good sign with a tinge of hope that my body actually defies science and is pregnant despite the signs suggesting otherwise!

@00Bubbles00 Last month I was so obsessed with tracking BBT, it really seemed like it stayed high, with one drop that I hoped was implantation.... obviously it wasn't! I find it quite fascinating getting to know our bodies so I'm trying to keep it that way instead of obsessing for clues (I will fail!)

@FarmerWantsABaby I really hope you get some answers from the blood tests and will keep my fingers crossed regsardless xx

Thanks ladies! Got a call from surgery today, GP wants to ring me tomorrow morning to "discuss my progesterone D21 test" so I think it's safe to say I'm not ovulating. Also have to go in next month for a retest of my FBC. Feeling shit that I didn't start TTC sooner now but who was to know 🤷🏼‍♀️
Anybody in this thread on any fertility treatment? So many thoughts running through my head now 😬

@FarmerWantsABaby totally get that feeling. Am hugely kicking myself for the same reason. That all being said, it sounds like you have the GP on the case and if you work out the problem, that means you are closer to fixing it. So many of my friends have had some form of fertility treatment (chlomid being the most common, and a couple with IVF or IUI). All of them have had successful pregnancies (including two sets of twins :-)).

How is everyone doing? @FarmerWantsABaby did you get to talk to GP yet?

@Effram yea waiting on a letter to see a fertility specialist, it's looking like I'm not ovulating 😬 I went to Liverpool over the weekend with friends and had a blast and a good ole chat so feeling positive enough about it all. No point stressing over something unless it's worth stressing over!

That’s good @FarmerWantsABaby. Hopefully the referral comes soon!

@FarmerWantsABaby I remember u from the maybe January bus forum. I'm 32 and ttc for 1st baby. We've been trying 3 months, March is 4. I was 9 days late this month and I've never been anything other than 30-32 day cycles. Nothing is 'normal' and let's get this baby in the next few months!! Wil def happen (I believe)

@Geauxtigers thank you. I just recently found out I'm pregnant. My pure chance. Basically I was bleeding for 10 days, went to dr and found out that I was pregnant and may have had conceived twins but lost one. A scan last week confirmed a fetal sac and fetal pole. A scan next week SHOULD confirm heartbeat but I'm very nervous. We have been waiting so long for this and to get that bombshell 2 weeks ago was a lot to take in. Especially since I was told I wasn't ovulating. It has been madness.

oh my gosh @FarmerWantsABaby congratulations!! I'm sure this is an anxious time but I hope everything goes smoothly. I guess the tests showed you weren't ovulating because you wer e pregnant?! how far along are you?

Fingers crossed for you @Geauxtigers x
