Google is going to be getting a work out this next week from me 🤣🤣

shelly10111 · 01/04/2020 12:52

Haha thanks - yes going to relax and hope for a better month, really sad with frustration as to why it's not happening for us :( xx

Sungirl11 · 01/04/2020 13:08

@shelly10111 aw girl.. i completely understand you... it's been a year for us! And now that we started the tests they have been cancelled because if covid. It's a pain in the a.. :(

Carol1980 · 01/04/2020 13:21

Aww ladies I wish I had the magic answer for you all as to why it's taking you so long x
Also heartbreaking that due to what is currently happening that your stick in limbo essentially x
I'm sending lots of love and good luck to you all that this month will be the month x
It always seems so bloody long when your trying x

NicoleR14 · 01/04/2020 14:49

Thanks ladies he had a lovely birthday so far he's now stuck to his ps4 😂 now praying for af to hurry and arrive so we can get back to dtd again or maybe chilling out who knows well see what happens @shelly10111 it is frustrating it does seem to take longer I don't think this would be as hard to do if I had a wee one already but with us not having any children and being so young we thought it would happen straight away for us but unfortunately it didn't we are now 6 months and 1 week ttc with a 37 day + cycle I'm trying to find something to destress myself with and hopefully these tablets I got will help relax my womb to get the ball rolling again! It's upsetting but the best thing to remember is you are having regular cycles you know roughly that your ovulating all you need is a bit of time it's hard to do but we've got nothing else better to do in isolation it's hard now but it'll get better!

Yes @NicoleR14 that's what I keep telling myself like there can't be anything too wrong I hope as I'm like clock work, I always say the longer it takes the more I'll really appreciate our last baby too when it's finally here xx

ArjaD · 02/04/2020 07:26

Aw @NicoleR14, just catching up with it all. Any luck this morning? It would be better to know one way or another huh. I tend to find my cycles are more irregular when stressed and this is defo a stressy time for us all. Last week I literally spent in the house with just our toddler, no other people. Glad hubby is home now, think I haven't stopped chatting, 😂😂 expected ovulation in about 4 days.

NicoleR14 · 02/04/2020 10:55

@ArjaD nope none what so ever I'm now 6/7 days late and no sign of af and deffo not pregnant according to my gp so it's a waiting game I don't know when I can start to try again if af hasn't arrived do I wait to see when she'll arrive or do I just keep dtd every day until she's due again any advice ladies?

OP posts:
NicoleR14 · 02/04/2020 10:56

@ArjaD I bet your glad hubby is home in time for ovulation and for a good catch up 😂 sitting in this house is driving me insane!

OP posts:
ArjaD · 02/04/2020 12:43

@NicoleR14 it's a toughie. I would just keep up with the ovulation tests and dtd every two days or so. It's not uncommon for women to skip af when stressed etc. Doesn't mean you can't ovulate after though.

NicoleR14 · 02/04/2020 14:32

@ArjaD thank you I think I will do that I got some opks yesterday I took one today and completely neg so ill wait and do one every couple of days if af doesn't arrive!

dizzy85 · 02/04/2020 15:37

@shelly10111 sorry to read your af came hope your ok.
@NicoleR14 sorry your late and bfn 😞 hope your ok. It's possibly stress related with all that's going on in the world.

Hope everyone else is ok x

Littlepeas2 · 02/04/2020 15:51

Hey @NicoleR14 have you had any sign of AF? I am now 3 days late and BFN on the frer test. Getting impatient for AF to just hurry up now!

NicoleR14 · 02/04/2020 15:55

@dizzy85 hi! How are you getting on! I'm just hoping af arrives soon or at least get ovulating again! @littlepeas2 I'm 7 days late for af and bfn and no sign of her what so ever my left side still quiet sore with my womb playing up I'm on CD 38 today 🙄 sorry to hear you got a bfn!

Sungirl11 · 02/04/2020 18:00

Aw no girls! You are all super late... Envy
I'm 4dpo now... 10to go until af is expected.
Had a productive cleaning day today.. exhausted now! Haha
So just chilling on the couch. Will get fat with all this staying at home Confused

shelly10111 · 02/04/2020 19:27

Hi ladies just updating I spoke to my gp today and she said to nip in and get bloods tomorrow while I'm still on my period to check my hormones, she seems to think the issue is with OH so still waiting for his test to arrive in the post but if it turns out it's with him then we agreed to stop trying and accept it for what it is.

Sungirl11 · 02/04/2020 23:03

@shelly10111 i got told not to go for it because it's not essential! Angry they hate me at my GP Sad
Did you call her and ask if you could go? I might call and ask to speak to her directly.. as the reception are super rude...
hope you have good luck and it's all ok!!

shelly10111 · 02/04/2020 23:09

@Sungirl11 this gp is the only one who really gets where I'm at mentally with it she's been the only one to offer tests, I said I didn't want to be a burden and be a pain going and she said she needs to do it while I'm bleeding so I'm taking hand sanitiser and waiting in the car until the nurse is ready for me but yeah in experience I've had some horrendous doctors, one last year was absolutely nasty and my usual doctor is just like 'stop worrying you already have kids' - which is in sensetive so this doctor is so understand and really trying to figure out why we're not getting anywhere :)

dizzy85 · 03/04/2020 08:40

@NicoleR14 I hope you get answers soon, I've had some late periods in the past it's really frustrating so I do feel for you. I am ok Thankyou, af due in 5 days still not gonna bother testing and just see what happens.

Jessmary94 · 03/04/2020 10:01

Wow, so much to catch up on! Didn't realise I hadnt checked in for so long 🙈
A big hello to all those I haven't spoken to and I hope all you ladies looking for answers get them soon.
Currently on cd8 and my fertile week is next week. Not going to be actively trying but I haven't gone back onto birth control so there is hope. Fiance is off work next week (just a coincidence it's my fertile week 🙄) , he has taken a weeks holiday as I am on furlough and going completely insane! How is everyone else doing?
We all still ttc or waiting with everything going on?

ArjaD · 03/04/2020 10:20

Same here as you @Jessmary94, just seeing how it goes. Fertile week this week for me.

NicoleR14 · 03/04/2020 12:35

@dizzy85 you are doing so well! Af is now 8 days late and no sign of her it's so upsetting I just want to move on to my next cycle to get ttc again! Having loads of ewcm but not ovulating I don't know what to think 🙄 when do you think you will test!

OP posts:
dizzy85 · 03/04/2020 13:16

@NicoleR14 oh I can imagine the frustration😞 have you done any more tests since or ovulation tests with the ewcm going on? I'm not gonna bother to test I'll just wait and if no af then I'll test, chances are very slim anyway as it was just the once so I doubt anything happened and I have no symptoms no sore boobs or anything at all.

NicoleR14 · 03/04/2020 13:38

@dizzy85 I havent tested again the gp has said it would be very unlikely for me to be pregnant I have no signs at all my sore boobs have calmed right down and my opks is negative so I don't know what's going on with me! It only takes the once the month you have no symptoms could be the month!
