Apologies if I missed anyone!! ❤️❤️

Well I'm out this month gave in and tested this morning with 2 days to go until AF. I knew anyway just like to have a definite answer. Well onwards and upwards to the next cycle. I don't feel so down about it this month as with having some kind of answer at the doctors as helped give me some positivity back and really hoping maybe not the cycle as will take time for medication to take affect but the cycle after that would be good. At least lockdown means there is plenty of time for DTD although my partner will still be going to work x

@Quiffy that's so cute!! You are so right as well. I'm not trying anymore but of course will be ecstatic if it happens. We will all be fine 💕

We another day of temp drops. I'm only 0.15 above my cover like now. Temps are exactly how I expected!!! Slow temp drops which confirms my friggin progesterone issue 😂 speaking of progesterone, need to call to get my 2nd result. I'm CD29 11DPO, usually start spotting today about midday. Watch this space....

@Danni2019 sorry to hear you are out! AF is due for me any time (and she will arrive) so we can be cycle buddies next time. Although I think I'll be pretty morning next month as I have nothing to track. I am going to carry on temping though just our of curiosity. I have no OPKs left

@Quiffy hahaha I've missed your humour!! 😂 you're so right though, even though it's shit about the scan there's so many other things to come yet ❤️ I have to say my DH hated feeling DS kick 🙄 DS was breach until 34 weeks, we were laying in bed and I said to DH to put his hand on my belly as DS was kicking, as he dis DS did a full turn and it was like something out of a horror movie 😂😂 DH literally jumped back like 'ARRGHHH that's GROSS!!' 😂😂😂

I'm 8/9dpo today. Zero symptoms. Want to test but I just feel it will be another BFN and I don't want that looming over me right now 😫

Morning all x
@Quiffy and @Sunflower2019 ahh so sorry your OH's will miss out on things x I understand how disappointing and worrying it must be for you at the moment x I hope you're both well and your little beans are growing nice and healthy x
I'm 9DPO today and had a weird bout of nausea yesterday afternoon, really felt like I'm going to be sick x Boobs are still not aching, but my nipples are now sensitive and getting some minor cramps feeling x other than that nothing else to report, but I think AF is on her way and will arrive promptly on Saturday x I've got 1 FRER at home and don't really know when to use it. Don't know how much more patience I've got left lol x
Have a good day everyone, stay safe and healthy x

@Beau20 glad to see that you got to 11DPO, to be fair that is not a bad length of LP, am I right to say it's getting better? I swear you said previously yours is short x sorry if I'm wrong x

@Katie1109 it's been a solid 10 days the last 2 cycles and is usually start spotting 11DPO. It has lengthened a lot since I first started, I was only getting 8 days so that's positive!! I just wasn't a 12 dayer and I'll be happy!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@Beau20 fingers crossed you'll get till tomorrow without spotting x have you got any cramps at all? x

@Beau20 I wonder if your calmer approach to it all has helped? It could just be a fluke but maybe because you were so stressed before it's like your body's relaxed a bit more? Either way it's fab I hope this means good things for you 😊 xx

@Katie1109 I know what you mean. I do have a pack of 2 FRER's but I still don't want to use them. I asked DH last night what he thinks as he'd normally egg me on to test early and even he said to wait longer, so I'm going to try 😬 xx

@Katie1109 no cramps yet but they usually start midday today. Last 3 cycles I've had about 3-5 days of sore boobs and a week of cramping but nothing yet. Not a single symptom! However before this TTC time I had no symptoms ever soooo 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Mumofboys17 as it stands I'm no better off than the last 2 cycles. My spotting usually starts on CD26-27 and today is CD28 (woohoo) but then again I ovulated and I'm technically exactly the same as any other cycle, 11DPO 🙈

I honestly think All this corona stuff and being busy has taken my mind off it. I'm usually in work googling everything (yes majorly distracting which is why I'm no longer trying) but now I'm distracted doing housework instead 😂

All I want is normal cycles! I'll take the baby too but normal cycles first please 😂

@Beau20 OMG I do that every time I get past ovulation. I think i read anything going about cervix positioning and opening yesterday 😬 trying to convince myself whatever I felt was how it should be if I was pregnant. I still haven't got a clue though!!
I'd take normal cycles too, please!! CD35 for me today 😫 Ovia says wait 4 days to test at the moment. If my LP stays 11 days (ish) then AF is due end of this week I think xx

Well right on que!! Brown tinged CM when I've just been to the loo, weird because I've had LOADSSSS of CM since ovulation. Meh. Well at least I know I have regular 28 day cycles, regardless of when ovulation happens 😂😂😂

Ffs stupid LP! At least I also know what my temps mean.

For the first cycle in months I'm not at all disappointed. So there's another bonus 😂

Thanks @Katie1109 yes I hope it’s all growing and well, still can’t quite believe there is something in there, have been feeling a little movement but not enough for dp to feel yet! Good luck with testing 🤞 Keeping everything crossed!!!!

@Beau20 I never had a very long LP either but I conceived okay eventually, I did start using progesterone cream which may of helped!

Xx

@Sunflower2019 I have been using progesterone cream this month but not sure how much I should be using.

Well just to put a downer on my not so bothered mood. My progesterone results were 13 and then when I did it again 2 days later...19. Bloody 19!

No wonder I ain't getting pregnant 🙃

@Beau20 so good that you've done the tests though!! Now you know what needs help instead of plodding along not knowing why its been a little difficult...
Do you think hormonal contraceptive does that to your body? You was fine before right? It's mad

@Sunflower2019 glad you're well lovely xx it's me ellsbells but I changed my name haha 😘😘

@Missgoldilocks this is true. I'm not even sure how you'd sort that out though? I've not had my day 2-4 bloods done yet, they are on Monday.

Yeah was absolutely fine before! I was on the pill for years, then had 5 years of implant, had that out and went on the pill for 18 months. Fell pregnant right away after that. Then I had an implant for 11 months (my most recent one) and now I'm fucked up! It must be an age thing as well although I'm hardly old! I'm only 28. It's jut annoying as I really really didn't want to have any kids past 30... not saying there is anything wrong with it, it's just not what I wanted. Now I'm going to be at least 29.5 before I have my first...

Actually considering going on the pill for one month just to see if it resets anything

@Beau20 there must be ways of sorting it out I'm sure you've been researching! Look at progesterone boosting vitamins/food probably the cheapest and easiest way first of all, however I can imagine it's very frustrating. Hopefully they give you a high grade progesterone cream? I don't know how it works x

@Missgoldilocks I've tried all the vitamins going and nothing makes a difference. The best thing I can do now is just take a step back, chill and let nature take its course. What will be will be 🙏🏼

I caved. BFN on a FRER this morning. I stared at it for so long hoping to see something 😢
I'm 9/10dpo so I'm taking that as I'm out.
I'm going to try and call the dr's today. CD36 so god knows when AF is showing up. I don't understand how you can have sex the entire time you're ovulating and still not get pregnant 🙁

@Mumofboys17 I'm so sorry :( you are still testing very very early though so don't count yourself out just let.

I didn't get any more spotting at all yesterday which is good! However woke up and cramps are killingggggg me so AF here. So a 29 day cycle and 12 luteal phase which I can deal with!

@Beau20 DH insisted on seeing it himself, so I took it out the bin to show him and now we're both convinced we can see something 😫
I know FRER's are notorious for indent/evap lines. Pics were taken between 3-5mins so slightly outside the recommended window. Be honest ladies. I can take it 😬
I'm sceptical as FRER's are sensitive and surely would be darker by now?

@Mumofboys17 I can see it!! x I think it’s got some colour to it too! x give it couple of days and retest x I inverted it for you, so the invert is your test and the normal one is mine from today x there’s definitely something on yours xx 🤞🤞
I’m 10 DPO today and did a FRER it’s BFN as white as they come x

@Mumofboys17 it does seem that there could be something there when I keep looking I can kind of see a faint line but sometimes those tests can show up evap lines. I think try to wait until day after tomorrow and test again as agonising as it is as tomorrow may not be that much different x

@Katie1109 thank you for that xx
I'll be honest I'm not convinced. But sometimes that teeny tiny glimmer of hope helps to get you through 😫
I have read threads in the past where ladies have had BFN's this early on, then all of a sudden at like 13dpo they get a BFP! So its definitely possible.

Think I'll still ring the docs today. Get the ball rolling in the background and keep trying as we are. We've managed it once before so it's obviously possible! X
