@shelly10111 ditto, defo want to see some sticky beans this month. How are you doing? Xxx

shelly10111 · 25/10/2020 07:24

@ArjaD I'm good lovely, 30 weeks now, seems to be going fast, but still always checking the thread hoping to see more bfps from everyone !! How are you this month? Xx

Sungirl11 · 25/10/2020 07:30

Hi ladies!
How are u all??
I have just passed ovulation day (stoped doing opks and temp as i'm fed up, but after all this time trying I can read my body).
So on the TWW even thought i'm not confident at all haha

Husband has his second sperm test on the 11th of Nov, again the GP has been useless telling him to call to get an appointment and apparently it was all changed and GP has to send an email with a link to book the day online... so we have been waiting three weeks for a call and calling the hospital to get an appointment with no answer for nothing!!
I'm so fed up! We are changing GP... this one doesn't know the procedures and does everything wrong, which is very worrying if you have to trust your life...
Xx

ArjaD · 25/10/2020 07:45

@shelly10111 aw it's great to follow the success stories ❤️❤️ not long to go now!
@Sungirl11 ffs what's wrong with GPS these days, you're supposed to trust them with these things!

Donnat89 · 26/10/2020 10:59

Hi ladies sorry I've been a bit vacant , hAs a few personal issues I was dealing with and just found TTC too much , congratulations to all that have had BFP and good luck you all of you still trying

I'm not actively trying anymore my MH really took a dive so taking a step back for a while but also not actively preventing it either I just can't keep tracking everything to have the same disappointment month after month !

AF is due any day for me so just waiting for her to arrive xxx

ArjaD · 27/10/2020 12:26

@Donnat89 I totally feel you, it gets a hold of you doesn't it? Hopefully the less Stressed approach works, I hear from lots of people that's when they got their bfp!! 😍
I'm having a weird situation going on where my opks are getting very dark, almost positive this usually ever happens one or Two days before my actual positive opk. But it's at least 5 days before my predicted ovulation atm so I'm wondering if I'll maybe ovulate early this month. Very weird for me. Glad I started to test early now though, we've been bd-ing every other day for the last four days now. Hope we catch it.how is everyone else doing?

ArjaD · 30/10/2020 08:42

Hey all, how are things going? Think I either ovulated yesterday or am ovulating today, so dtd-ing a lot just now. Still, it's been a very stressful month so I am not holding out much hope, don't know why exactly. Hope you're all feeling a bit more positive!
How are you getting on @NicoleR14?

Sungirl11 · 30/10/2020 10:49

Morning @ArjaD!
Lots of dust for you today!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I woke up to another pregnant friend today... she started trying last month and has been really lucky.

I am in Spain, my mother has had cancer for a long time and it's now got really bad 😞 doctors are not very confident. So i'm here taking care of her until she crosses the rainbow.
And my dog has been in hospital for 2 weeks now and still recovering very slowly.
We are not going through a very good time, as if this year wasn't awful enough...
I sent a complaint to the GP and NHS complaints service about all this mess with infertility testing, got an answer it's going to be investigated and we will get an answer in December.
Atm no more trying for us as my husband is in UK and i'm in Spain.

Hope you girls are all a lot better than me. Xx

ArjaD · 30/10/2020 11:45

@Sungirl11 aw I'm so so sorry 😢 I lost my dad to cancer last year, it's just the hardest thing ever. I hope it goes as well as can be expected for you all ❤️ what a journey the last year has been, so hard to believe all that's happened.

NicoleR14 · 30/10/2020 18:17

Hi @ArjaD I'm doing OK currently on 8dpo had few sharp pains and ewcm but nothing major so who knows fingers crossed though its our 1 year wedding anniversary today so we are making the best of it during this lock down and heading to a drive in cinema trying to keep our spirits up especially with ttc we got a new dog at the beginning of the month she's a Belgian malinois and she is more than a hand full 😂 @sungirl11 I'm so sorry to hear that I wish you and your family well during this horrible time ❤️

ArjaD · 02/11/2020 12:26

@NICOLER14 @Sungirl11 have you tested at all? 😊 I'm keeping you in my thoughts! I'm about 4dpo so just trying to not do symptom spotting and try to hold off testing till at least 10dpo. Tired of false positives now, so trying to prevent disappointment. Hubby currently still home, no indication yet if when he'll be shipping out.

NicoleR14 · 02/11/2020 13:32

@ArjaD no not yet I should be 11 or 12dpo today I think I ovulated on the 21st but my predicted ovulation was 22nd so I'm not entirely sure I'm going by ewcm lol tempted to poas but terrified of seeing another bfn so I completely understand your pain!

OP posts:
Sungirl11 · 02/11/2020 15:51

@ArjaD i didn't even have a chance. I started bleeding on/off at 7dpo... today i'm 10dpo and just waiting for full flow to come at some point.

ArjaD · 02/11/2020 17:12

@Sungirl11 cliché coming here, but do you reckon there's even a tiny chance it was implantation? Oh I hope so much that it was!!
@NicoleR14 it's true, you get terrified of these bfns 😰 my opks were all over the place this month, it seemed positive for almost the entire week 😳 think my body still hasn't fully recovered after the mmc. But at least i should defo be ovulating... How's the doggy? 😊

Sungirl11 · 02/11/2020 17:32

@ArjaD i don't think i would bleed for so many days. First day was a bit of pink, yesterday was bright red, today brown... but it did something similar last month and was af coming. So I'm not confident at all...

ArjaD · 02/11/2020 19:24

@Sungirl11 ah, aw well I'm still keeping all my fingers crossed for you. You've had such a crap time of it, wouldn't it just be amazing if it was a wee peanut! 🥜

NicoleR14 · 03/11/2020 09:17

@Sungirl11 that's horrible hun you really haven't had the best time of it fingers crossed things get better for you and your husband 🤞🏼 @ArjaD that sounds crazy! I haven't been tracking ovulation at all trying to be more relaxed about things but this time I haven't been able to keep my cool at all I've been having quiet weird dreams I had more ewcm yesterday and last night which I don't usually get but sometimes before af like an hour or so before af I get some ewcm so I presumed she was coming last night but I've woke up today and nothing my boobs haven't been sore at all and usually a week before af I can't touch them they were sensitive yesterday but nothing today and af is due tomorrow or Thursday so we shall see! Our Freya is fine but a handful she has now learned she can jump over a 4ft table so that's been interesting she's actually worse than having a baby she gets up all hours of the night crying and wanting to play! But she's getting there apart from her biting she is an amazing dog! How have you been getting on?

OP posts:
ArjaD · 03/11/2020 09:41

@NicoleR14 aw she sounds crazy 😂 wait till you have her and a wee baby!! 😍
We're OK thanks, had fun going on a wee pumpkin quest at Halloween with the wee guy, rather than knock on doors. Hating the tww as usual....

NicoleR14 · 03/11/2020 09:45

@ArjaD here's hoping 😂🤞🏼 could be a while mind you 🙄 that sounds so cute I felt so bad for all the kids at Halloween! there was a big park with pumpkin picking in Carluke it was lovely my sister came down to visit us and we ended up there for the day I would definitely recommend taking the wee man there the kids loved it!

OP posts:
ArjaD · 03/11/2020 09:47

@NicoleR14 oh yes I think we drove past it a few weeks ago, my sister stays in Carluke 😁

NicoleR14 · 03/11/2020 10:45

@ArjaD does she? My husband works over there mostly around Wishaw Carluke Hamilton that's how we found it lol its lovely and quiet over there x

OP posts:
ArjaD · 03/11/2020 12:13

@NicoleR14 yeah she's stayed there with her hubby and two kids for quite a while now, but they have just sold their house to move south a bit to Carnwath. Small world eh!

ArjaD · 03/11/2020 13:44

I just had some light pink blood when I wiped (sorry, tmi!) - a tiiiny bit only on the paper. No idea what to think, 5 dpo (I think) seems early for any implantation. Hope af isn't ridiculously early 😳

NicoleR14 · 03/11/2020 19:15

Omg! I hope this is it for you! 🤞🏼 Fingers crossed hun! I caved and tested and of course a bfn 😪

OP posts:
ArjaD · 03/11/2020 22:14

@NicoleR14 maybe it's just a bit early, don't lose hope!! Xx
