@ChampooPapi wow amazing news...massive congratulations!! Do you have twins in your family at all?? Hope all goes well and you have a healthy and successful pregnancy... xx

@Fizzl @Sparkl @Minster2012 thank you so so much for your loving and beautiful sentiments, I can only wish you all the baby dust in the bloody world for your big fat positives! ✨✨💜💜

ChampooPapi · 17/04/2020 13:24

@Peanutbuttermummy no twins in the families at all. They are in there own separate sacks so have their own placentas as well which freaks me out in the most amazing way!

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/04/2020 13:28

@scrumdiddly123 just realised you are a twin too!
Are you identical?

Oh wow @ChampooPapi! That’s amazing news..so happy for you😊!! You just be beyond relived..it’s just so good to see things work out for people!!

Leok83 · 17/04/2020 14:00

@Annny27 unfortunately BFN again today 11DPO but no sign of AF so although I’m seriously feeling down and sad about it day I’m just gonna take the positive that my LP has at least gotten a bit longer

@SunnySideUp2020 glad to hear the 21 day bloods came back good! Hopefully it’s good news for this cycle🤞

Melds22 · 17/04/2020 14:24

Found out last week that 2 friends are expecting their 1st babies in Autumn.. I'm also in a baby group with all the other mums I spent mat leave with. 1 has had her 2nd baby theirs month, another is due in September and one had a miscarriage on jan and got preggo a week later. She privates msgd me today before telling the others which was lovely of her but I can't help but feeling totally heartbroken that I'm the cursed one .. anybody else in a similar situation? Sorry to pour my heart out but I'm just so upset today and have to be strong for my little girl most of the time..

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/04/2020 14:32

@scrumdiddly123 ah nice! My twin is a dude 😊 so definitely not identical!! But wouldn’t change it.

@leok sorry for the bfn today again lovely... you can be sad. It is pretty sh** to see the blank test but as you say at least your LP is longer now...
also you re not out until AF arrives. 😘

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/04/2020 14:34

@Annny27 i paid 10 euros for the blood test (i know ridiculously cheap)
So tbh i kinda hope to get pregnant here to be able to get all the bloods done if i feel anxious...

@Sparkl i have also been staying away from google. Just wanna wait and see for this cycle

Sparkl · 17/04/2020 14:42

@Leok83 sorry it was a bfn today. If 10dpo is too early, 12dpo isn’t that much different, keeping fingers crossed for you. What are your temps looking like?

@sunnysideup2020 if you don’t mind sharing, what was your day21 level? I’ve had two, one was borderline, second was better (30) but then I ended up having only an 8 day LP which was so annoying because I was really happy with better progesterone

I’m really hoping for better LP this month too, would love to see cycle getting back to normal

MilsCookie · 17/04/2020 15:44

@ChampooPapi thank you for the lovely message - you're too kind! You've been through so much and I couldn't be happier for you. And please don't feel you have to duck and run - you've been an amazing support for all of us too and we're all on this journey together! What did your DP say?! Are you going to tell your DCs? xxx

@Melds22 welcome to the group and I'm so sorry you find yourself here. I'm sorry you're feeling sad... all I can say is that we've all been there... I've had two meltdowns in the last couple of weeks! It's a very traumatic time. Sending you positive vibes xxx

@Leok83 sorry it was a BFN lovely Sad but like you said at least your LP is longer this cycle. And like @SunnySideUp2020 said - you're not out yet! Keeping everything crossed for you xxx

@Sparkl sorry I didn't reply to you before - I can't even remember what you hadn't tagged me in so don't worry at all haha! Where are you at in your cycle? xxx

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/04/2020 16:12

@Sparkl it was 49.6 ng/ml
And i found that over 30 confirms ovulation so that’s that at least.

So far my LP always has been 14 days - well since i am tracking so since november.

It does sound weird that your progesterone 30 but the lp 8 days.
What day did you have the blood done then?

I also read that during the day the level can vary in blood so the first one you had might have been bad timing?

TerribleImagination · 17/04/2020 16:19

@ChampooPapi Whaaaaaaat!!! That’s INCREDIBLE news lovey! My DP is a twin so I’ve always said I’d love to have twins! What an absolute joy after all that worry ❤️❤️ So happy for you!

Sparkl · 17/04/2020 16:23

@sunnysideup2020 oh that’s so much higher 😬
Feel like my gp is minimising the issue. First result was 21, they said it confirms ovulation but isn’t great and thought it might be timing. Did CD19 the second time and gp said 30 is all good but then I had the super short cycle. I haven’t spoken to them since because of the Covid situation. I hate not knowing whether there’s a problem.

@MilsCookie I’m CD7, app telling me to test in 5 days. I hope I get that far!

@Melds22 welcome, and sorry you’re having a hard time. All of my prenatal group have had a second and lots of friends who had their first a year or more after me have had their second so I know how you feel. Hopefully it will happen for us soon!

Sparkl · 17/04/2020 16:25

7dpo that should say!

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/04/2020 16:31

Honestly i am not too familiar with the progesterone thing.but 30 is definitely a normal result... and it might well have been the timing.
I know the feeling when you just wanna know if everything is ok or how can you make it more optimal but there nobody to even look into it for you or give you a clear honest explanation for results...
it is very frustrating and the covid thing is not make it any better.
But for having read a few threads on progesterone level yesterday i can assure you that 30 is a good thing!!

Do you get any sign of ovulation?

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/04/2020 16:32

@Sparkl forgot to tag you x

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/04/2020 16:37

Also sorry my level i think were in nmol/L not ng/ml which are the two units for measuring

Ideal is above 10ng/ml (mine was equivalent 16) and above 30 nmol/L

SunnySideUp2020 · 17/04/2020 16:39

Here is a link that explains it with the different Units

Sparkl · 17/04/2020 16:55

Thanks for that link @sunnysideup2020 and for your reassuring words! I know 30 should be ok, but I guess there are other factors in a LP defect (units were nmol as well). I think my doctor wants me to calm down and not overthink but doesn’t really suit my personality 😅

I get about 3 days of ewcm and usually some sensations on peak day, not pain as such but, I don’t know, ovulation feelings! I had a positive clear blue OPK for about five months in a row. Have given up that habit now though.

I’m hoping a few more months of temping will give me a better picture as well.

Hopefully all this obsessing will pay off for us soon!

Are you 8dpo now? What’s your poas-plan?!
