In our 30's and TTC- baby dust

[babyG123]

Anyone fancy joining this bus?

1dpo and due on 8th

Thanks @musicaljojo will definitely keep that in mind. Did Pregnacare make you ill when you were trying to conceive too?

Sorry to hear about your MC @GingerCalico. Fingers crossed it happens for you soon!

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks for the recommendations. Trip to Holland & Barretts for me I think! Hope you get your BFP soon!

I am CD11 now so going go try and get to grips with the Easy at Home ovulation kit!

Ok I've got to ask. I know this is a forum, and forums love to have their own particular 'in speak'. But has anyone ever actually called their period Aunt Flow? Doubt it's a generational thing as we're all in our 30+s, but is it regional thing? Or did I just grow up in the back and beyond?! 🤣

@BellaBella84 Would never ever call it Aunt Flow 😂 just say period 🤷🏼‍♀️

🤣

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm ok thanks for asking. Had a successful 12 week scan this time which was a relief after my last one. Maybe things will be ok. I hope you get some answers soon and get that BFP! Must be so tough trying for this long.

Thanks @xTTC2020x I hope so too. Good luck with the opk's!
@BellaBella84 haha 🤣 so glad someone said it! I have never ever called it that. Not even my mum has and she's in her 60's 😂
Thanks @Sakura54 yes it's shit 😆 so glad all went well at the scan, onwards and upwards for you now then!

@xTTC2020x It did. I felt really sick that's why I stuck to the seven seas ones.
When I fell pregnant I used to take the seven seas and the boots own ones because halfway through my pregnancy there was supply problems!

I need to confess to going bat sht crazy! Every month before my fertile window I get the doubts. How will I cope with pregnancy? What if I've morning sickness or heavily pregnant in the summer? What will I do when I get sick? What will I do when my kid gets sick? What about my back? What about my bipolar? What about work? What if I f*ck up my kid somehow? What about the environmental impact of the over population of the planet? How did I manage to make half of this post bold?!
Anyone else come close to or even exceed this monthly madness? 🙄

Hey everyone how are you all getting on? Any positive news? My fertility appointment is the 14th of this month! I am excited but nervous!!

Hey @Rma13!! Good news, hope all goes well. So not positive but we know what our issue is now. It's Dh, he has low count, motility and morphology so we're getting referred. He's also got a referral to a urologist. I have my scan on Tuesday but I'm expecting it to be alright, seeing as both my bloods were.

@BellaBella84 hope you're ok after your wobble last month?

@notyetamumbuttrying thats not positive news but at least you know what the problem is now! And hopefully they can do something? My fingers are crossed for you xx

Thank you @Rma13 yeah hope so! Dh has changed his lifestyle so hoping that helps too. We'll get a repeat SA in Nov to see if there's any improvement and then go private for ivf if not. I'm not prepared to wait another year to get it on the nhs x

@notyetamumbuttrying @Rma13 🤞 The rest of your tests go well.

I'm puting a lot of hope into this months window. Will confirm with OPKs nearer the time, but it looks like my peak days will fall over a weekend. (Considerably higher chance of actually getting laid at the right time! 🤣)

Thanks @BellaBella84 I love it when ov is on the weekend! I'm exactly the same!! I'm like yay 😁 he'll actually shag me with relative ease cos it's a Saturday 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying 🤞 The planets align and we can conveniently ovulate at a chilled out weekend time! A time where words like "tired" "headache" and "long week" are banned! 🤣

@BellaBella84 haha 🤣 yes!! Just checked my next dates and due to ov next Friday I think so yay!! Might even get to do it day after ov as well which is unheard of...usually too shagged out by then 😂 and scan went fine yesterday @Rma13 she saw a small fibroid but wasn't concerned by it. Will get full write up next week. Also have my smear in a couple weeks so getting it all done it feels! I'm gonna see if they'll give me an hsg or hycosy when I next speak with my gp, cos why not eh 🤪

@notyetamumbuttrying aww that sounds positive!!! Im so nervous for my appointment on the 14th!!

@Rma13 not long to go now either! I'm sure it'll go well, keep us updated! X

@Rma13 how'd the appointment go?
@BellaBella84 hope you're doing well?
Cd10 for me and usually get peak today. Been taking soya so its delayed it so that's good! Hope a more mature egg might help Dh's slow sperm 😬

@notyetamumbuttrying I've got something slinky at the ready! Although I'd forgotten I'm on call on Friday night, so I'll be praying to the on call Gods tomorrow 🙄

Hi @notyetamumbuttrying my appointment was interesting. I have to wait until the end of the month, if no AF i have to test, if negative I then have to take this medicine that will force an AF and then ten days later go and have ink injected into my tubes. She is worried that my lack of AF is a blockage in my tubes? It sounds quite painful tbh but I'm willing to try anything!
Hope you are all getting on well!!

Aged 36
TTC#1
Cycle 7 with slightly short luteal length.
Luckily been cycle tracking this year or so just to keep an eye on when my period's due.
Tried OPKs a couple of months, but they just confirmed what I already knew from EWCM.

This months the planets seem to be aligning. Fertile days were over a weekend DTD 3/3 and testing days are over our wedding anniversary. These have got to be good signs, right?! 🤞

@BellaBella84 they sound like great signs! Hope it all works out for you!
@Rma13 did AF show? It's shown for me today which is not a surprise! Dh had his urologist appointment this week and got a blood test to check his hormone levels. He'll also get a scan done, I guess to check any blockages. She couldn't see a varicocele so that's something good at least! Just waiting for the right time in order to get a second SA and then we can finally make a plan! Getting very fed up now! 14 months ttc next week 😩

@notyetamumbuttrying Super super faint line today. Today is period due day. Normally I would expect a clear and definate line for this point, but that would be for average cycles with 14 day (ish) luteal length. I'm hanging in there just about and trying not to get too excited. But we all know how easy that is 🙄 Just got to wait and see now. I can honestly say that this is way worse than the TWW and if I sleep at all in the next 72 hours it'll be nothing short of a miracle!

@notyetamumbuttrying Gutted to hear you got your period, be kind to yourself this week 😘
@Rma13 How are your tests going?
