@Beau20 well after my miscarriage I have been trying for 11 months but feels a lot longer! If you don't include the miscarriage it is more like around 17 months! I have just about given up on my little boy getting a sibling. Getting some tests though has made me feel like well at least there is something happening even if it's not a pregnancy Smile

Beau20 · 25/02/2020 15:11

@Danni2019 oh absolutely! I'm so glad you are getting the tests, at least you can start getting some answers. I think 12 months is totally ridiculous, the amount of stress couples go though TTC and being unsuccessful, then the added stress of waiting a whole year to be seen - it's just awful! I think 6 months personally is a long time, and I'd say that even if I wasn't TTC. Make sure you keep us posted with how you get on with the tests x

Danni2019 · 25/02/2020 15:15

@Beau20 totally agree 6 months is long enough! I think the only thing keeping me going is my little boy and I'm so thankful for him everyday. So my hat goes off to everyone on this rollercoaster of a journey with trying to conceive their first child as I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy! Feel like I am being tortured for something I have done x

Ellsbells112 · 25/02/2020 15:16

@Beau2020x whoops my bad. I don't wear it to bed lol but I'll try now haha another thing to. Add to the list like bbt isn't long enough!!
They might be interested though to do some bloods if your luteal phase is shit? Hoping they do somethinf for you xx

Katie1109 · 25/02/2020 15:16

Oh @Beau20 sorry you're feeling shite x I hope your doctor is actually going to listen to you and hopefully prescribe clomid - I did read it is meant to make your LP longer x fingers crossed you can sort it out x also, did you look at any natural supplements that can help you out?

Beau20 · 25/02/2020 15:23

@Danni2019 yeah I totally agree! Sad thing is we conceived our 1st soooo easily 3 years ago however it didn't work out and ended in termination. Now I'm like what is happening?! Maybe because I so desperately want it.

@Ellsbells112 yeah deffo wear to bed, that's when it measures your real resting BPM as most of the time during the day you aren't resting.

@katie1109 I really hope so, I think I'll cry if she just turns me away. Yep tried everythingggg, vits B complex. B6, C, D, agnus castus, evening primrose oil, I've had a month off them all and nothing. I've just bought some natural progesterone cream but I'm so skeptical on the natural stuff. I'm not even positive for this cycle anymore. I'm considering going back on the pill for a few months to see if that balances my hormones out or whatever is going on!

Danni2019 · 25/02/2020 15:23

@Beau20 can't you just tell them you have been trying linger unfortunately I couldn't as My miscarriage would have been on their records so had to wait it out but if I was you and feeling so down about it I would totally bend the truth slightly 😉

Beau20 · 25/02/2020 15:34

@Danni2019 I wish I could but they have on file the date I had my implant out grrrr!

Danni2019 · 25/02/2020 15:41

@Beau20 aww that's a shame but I'm sure if you explain your situation they will take you seriously. I think if you get the right doctor too. Fingers crossed they listen to you and let us know how you get on x

Beau20 · 25/02/2020 15:44

@Danni2019 thanks lovely, I hope so. I'm booked in with one of the lady GPs who specialises in family planning and gynecology so hopefully she'll be interested in helping.

Ellsbells112 · 25/02/2020 19:53

Does anyone get ovary pain for near enough 4 days after ovulation? My right ovary is always the one that hurts every cycle and its always at ovulation and 4 days after! What is it 😩

Katie1109 · 26/02/2020 07:02

Morning all how are we? x @Ellsbells112 I get it for couple of days after O days at times but it’s always the side where I know I ovulated from x is your pain really strong?
I’m 8DPO today and getting close to FRER territory now. I have done a cheapie and of course it was BFN but I had to feed my addiction lol 😂 photo for your amusement 😂

Beau20 · 26/02/2020 07:35

@Katie1109 morning lovely!! Oh bless you 😂 we've got to laugh because there's no way you'd get a positive now but at least you've managed to satisfy the POAS addiction. Feeling a little better today, just want this doctors appointment for hurry up although I know I'll be disappointed.

@Ellsbells112 hmmm no never after ovulation? I get cramps from 2DPO all the way to 6-8DPO and that is in my ovary and always my right too. I never ever get ovary pain in my left one. Swear it doesn't even work!

Katie1109 · 26/02/2020 07:58

@Beau20 hi there! Yeah addiction satisfied but I have ordered 4 FRER and 2 One-step as a package on amazon for £13 so I'll be testing like mad in the next few days lol x I will try to stick to cheapies tomorrow, but from 10DPO will get the big guns out lol x I'm glad you're feeling better today and I hope your doctors appointment will bring you some help x My boobs are aching, but its a bit weird because they don't feel hard or anything and are the most painful up by my armpits. Last night I had a lots of creamy CM, had to change my panty liner in the evening because at some point I thought I had a pee in my pants lol ! Other than that nothing else to report and I'm not feeling too hopeful, which I guess is a good thing x

LV1987 · 26/02/2020 08:01

Morning! @katie1109 what are one-step like? I'm still pretty new to this so not familiar with all the brands. I have one FRER left in my stash so I'm holding out until AF is nearly on me. 4/5 DPO today!

Katie1109 · 26/02/2020 08:02

@LV1987 I’ve got no idea, I have never used them before!
Forgot to add @Beau20 I cannot reach my cervix 😂

LV1987 · 26/02/2020 08:04

@katie1109 that's OK, just tell me once you've peed on one 😂

Ellsbells112 · 26/02/2020 08:13

@lv1987 what😂😂😂😂 I just jumped on here at a weird time?! Who's peeing on who 😂

@katie1109 @Beau2020x ill bring it up to my doc because it is weird I think!

LV1987 · 26/02/2020 08:25

On a stick not on a person 😂

Katie1109 · 26/02/2020 08:54

@Ellsbells112 must be a bit early for you love 😂😂 I promise it was POAS not a person 😂

Ellsbells112 · 26/02/2020 09:20

@katie1109 @lv1987 definitely too early for me 😂😂😂😂🤦‍♀️ how was everyone's pancakes last night? I made my own whipping cream it was divine

LV1987 · 26/02/2020 09:49

I didn't make any! My OH was at work until 10pm and when he got home, he "didn't fancy them". Couldn't be bothered to make them for just me so I missed out 😭

Katie1109 · 26/02/2020 09:50

Well ladies...my af is due on Monday, so realistically when do you think I should be using my FRER. And please don't say wait till af because this is definitely not going to happen lol x

Beau20 · 26/02/2020 10:13

@katie1109 I got a BFP last month at 9 and 10dpo so I'm guessing from then you could try the FRER? I can never reach my cervix back end of my cycle it's always waayaayyy up there!

@Ellsbells112 I didn't pee on anyone recently but I peed in a cup last night just to see what an OPK looked like CD1 out of curiosity haha. My pancakes were site, I got too involved with Emmerdale I burned them so fed them to the dog instead.

Ellsbells112 · 26/02/2020 10:16

@Beau2020x hahaha!! God Emmerdale, reminds me of living at home with my mum! She loved it!

@katie1109 I'd say test at 12dpo x
