@Mumofboys17 ohhh that's exciting!! Have you checked your cervix?? Fingers crossed its good news for you!! ❤️ ❤️
I'm okay, just getting excited for this test honestly! :) xx

Mumofboys17 · 01/07/2020 10:16

@Missgoldilocks ahh that's good though!! Yeah it's up and down, so I'm giving up with that 😂 I caved and did a FRER but bfn.
TMI alert - been to the loo and had some streaky red blood in my cm, it's like AF wants to start but isn't properly coming 🙄 I'm writing this cycle off though I think it's just going to be one of those long ones for me 😫grr xx

@Mumofboys17 when you check your cervix try to only check it in the mornings after you've down a bm, I notice that if I check in the morning before a bm I can't feel it it's high but after it's always in the correct position. So like the next time you go toilet after bm check and only then basically don't check throughout the day because it does move around.
Ahh I'm sorry that's so crap hope you get an answer soon either way xx

BFP2020 · 01/07/2020 11:01

Hey girls Hope you still remember me I said I'd check in to see how ye are doing? I'm still not pregnant either @Mumofboys17 @Missgoldilocks
Was supposed to get my Laparoscopy March 16th for possible patchy ENDO but it was cancelled due to Covid 19. Just got my new date which is 20th July. Half hoping still that this is my month and I won't need to get 3 holes in my tummy. CD 18 today and had my positive OPK will prob O tomorrow. Due AF then 15th/16th July.
My LP was 12 days for ages but rose to 13 last month( got so excited because I was a day late and I'm never late but ah well used to it at this stage CYCLE 19 xxx

LV1987 · 01/07/2020 13:15

Oh @Mumofboys17 what is going on?! Our bodies are evil mistresses 😖😘

Mumofboys17 · 02/07/2020 09:19

@BFP2020 welcome back!! Of course we remember you!! 😘 once a crazy always a crazy 😜
Wow cycle 19... bless you. My LP is 12 days too! At least you've got the laparoscopy coming up now though x

@LV1987 honestly I'm SO confused. I'm bleeding but it's no where near full flow. It's like (sorry) stringy yellow cvm and tinged with red/pink blood. Cramps have been AWFUL. I put a tampon in yesterday afternoon as figured the flow was on it's way and didn't want to get caught out. Pulled it out after about 6 hours and wasn't even 1/4 full. I'm spotting today and pinkish/brown on wiping, cervix is high and soft (but stopping that now as worried I might be making things worse 😖) just don't know why AF won't kick in properly 😓

OP posts:
Missgoldilocks · 02/07/2020 10:27

@Mumofboys17 ohhhhh implantation!?!? Sounds promising!! I hope full flow doesn't come and it is IB xx

@BFP2020 hey! I so are you pretty sure you have endo? X

BFP2020 · 02/07/2020 11:19

@Mumofboys17 How many DPO are you today? I hope it is implantation spotting.

@Missgoldilocks I went to a fertility doctor and had a consultation with him and he did another Transvaginal scan. He said from the pains I am getting around Ovulation (literally feel so much pressure and stabbing pains for days) and before AF(all my back,leg pain and cramps) He suspects patchy ENDO and Maybe some scarring from my previous c section. From the pains I get I would be very surprised if there was nothing wrong. They will also do the DYE test to make sure my tubes are clear. Is that the test you are going for too? x

Mumofboys17 · 02/07/2020 11:24

@BFP2020 @Missgoldilocks thanks for the positivity girls but I'm not sure, I think it's too heavy for implantation. I'm 14dpo for reference but reckon it's more like CD1 today 😂 it's shit but it's ok, no choice but to keep going forward!
I want to speak to the GP now but DH says no because 'we've managed it once before so we will again' 🙄 shouldn't be this hard though surely!! Xx

BFP2020 · 02/07/2020 11:51

@Mumofboys17 Did it take you long the first time? I haven't been on in so long I can't even remember where everyone is? What cycle is this? x

Mumofboys17 · 02/07/2020 12:12

@BFP2020 Yeah 18months for DS 😫 he's 3 in November. We're getting close to that again now 🙁 this will be cycle 11 x

OP posts:
Missgoldilocks · 02/07/2020 13:33

@BFP2020 I'm cycle 12 but really hoping the dye test sorts me out and I can get pregnant after 😂 wishful thinking. So yeah it is the dye test I'm getting, if there is a problem I'll have to have a laposcopy (if that's how you spell it) but I'll probably waiting ages for that os let's just hope my tubes are clear. How long did it take you with your first child? X

@Mumofboys17 has it come on fully heavy now then?

BFP2020 · 02/07/2020 19:43

@Mumofboys17 It gets frustrating I know but after 12 months I'd advise you go get some tests and don't wait!
@Missgoldilocks I was about 2 years first time round but I never tracked ovulation as we were still young I was only 23 so it was a leave it happen trying and I def wasn't as stressed about it but then at 29 (nearly 31 now) properly trying know my cycle in and out and it's not happening but I have all this pain which I didn't have when trying for my DD xx I hope the dye test works because that's expensive as it is the laparoscopy is I'm sure around 2000. I have healthcare so thank god i'm covered. I'm also covered for 2 IUI so hoping I'll be a candidate for that and I will go straight into that the month after my laparoscopy!! Xx

Fredthespider · 03/07/2020 10:26

@Mumofboys17 don't forget my ridiculous implantation bleed - all 9 days of it!! 😂 I hope it doesn't get heavier for you.

Welcome back @BFP2020 it's good to hear from you. All the best for your laparoscopy, my only advice would be to prepare that they might not find anything. I had classic symptoms but when they did the surgery didn't find anything at all and I ended up being sent back to my GP. I was gutted.

Mumofboys17 · 03/07/2020 10:29

@Fredthespider that's the thing, it's not getting heavier. At all 😕 I'm really stunned by it. Best way I can describe it is like the pinkish stuff you get when AF is on the way but it's just not progressing at all. Lots of on off cramps, had some little streaks of red blood but no fresh blood on wiping or in my undies yet. I did take a test again yesterday and was BFN so don't think I'm lucky enough for it to be implantation 🙁
I'm waiting for a call back from my GP today as worried I've got an infection or something as this is SO out of the ordinary.

OP posts:
BFP2020 · 03/07/2020 11:52

@fredthespider Thank you I am ready for that but as long as everything is clear i will drive on with the IUI and hopefully get pregnant that way.

@Mumofboys17 That's crazy let us know what the GP says?

Fredthespider · 03/07/2020 12:03

@Mumofboys17 I did a FRER 3 days after I started bleeding which was BFN, I have everything crossed for you :)

@BFP2020 it's nice to have a plan forward, good luck this month and hopefully you won't need the laparoscopy after all x

Mumofboys17 · 03/07/2020 12:18

@Fredthespider seriously...? How soon after bleeding stopped did you test again?
I've just spoken to the Dr and he basically said it's probably my anxiety playing up (never happened before but ok 😂) and to take another pregnancy test next week. If it happens again next cycle then need to call back for more tests. Don't feel any the wiser really haha but think I'll just put it down to body being weird. Probs more likely than being pregnant in my case!! X

Hey everyone sorry been quiet this cycle had a bit of a break as was feeling quite down at the end of the last cycle. Well on CD1 today as period just arrived oh the joys! Just reading through some posts

@Mumofboys17 sorry that your in limbo hopefully your cycle sorts itself out. @Missgoldilocks I remember you saying you had a plan to go private for some treatment? Are you still going ahead with that? @BFP2020 hope you get some answers at your dye test will be good to know either way.

Think I'm going to send my OH for his sperm analysis this month he was meant to do it pre lockdown but then clinics closed. Then I got medication for my under active thyroid and I said I would give it 6 months on the medication before returning to the doctor. This is now the 4th month but if my OH gets his sperm analysis then hopefully we can move on to the next stage whatever that is. Maybe a dye test like others have talked about 🤷‍♀️. I feel like if I have a time frame in my head or some next steps I can cope better. X

Mumofboys17 · 04/07/2020 20:40

@BFP2020 thank you x it's picked up the pace since yesterday, still an odd consistency, a lot darker and thicker than normal but definitely heavier now. At least I can close this chapter now and move onto cycle 11! Urrrgghhhhh 😓

How's everyone else doing? Xx

OP posts:
LV1987 · 06/07/2020 09:03

Morning...! @Mumofboys17 as annoying as that is, it must also feel good to have some closure on this month. I've had a few weird periods since coming off the pill, I hate how they can make you feel so hopeful and then snatch it all away.

CD19 for me and a couple of "high" OPKs on femometer with loads of stark white ones in between. Got my peak at CD21 last month so nearly there, but was hoping it would come forward a little bit more this month. Oh well!

Missgoldilocks · 06/07/2020 10:25

Morning lovely ladies hope we are all well?

@Mumofboys17 sorry that it was af ❤️❤️ we will get there my love xx

I've been taking it really easy and God it feels so much better I thought I was cd7 but I'm cd9 and normally I'm bang on it lol I feel stress free really and looking forward to getting my tubes flushed on Thursday. It's on cd12 and normally they do it before then but the doc said it should be okay and hopefully if my tubes are fine we can still try that weekend which is when I'm fertile. I'm not going to do any opks or anything and just go with the flow

Mumofboys17 · 06/07/2020 14:35

@LV1987 @Missgoldilocks thanks girls, still the absolute weirdest AF I've ever had 😂
I've got 2 weeks til FW 🙄 booooo 👎🏻 I think I'm gonna try a less stressy approach this cycle (and any other cycles that come after!! 😂) May use cheapie OPK's when I know O day is coming but not going to test 500 times a day this month, it's burning a hole in my pay check 😬😂
I'll start taking vitamins again now too as got some left over from before. Let's DOOOO this 🙌🏻

BFP2020 · 07/07/2020 10:36

@LV1987 Last 5/6 months I haven't been ovulating until CD18-CD20 so we are having similar cycles. How long is your LP then? What cycle are you on?

@Missgoldilocks That's a great attitude to have. I hope being less stressed about it gives you a nice surprise this month. Only 2 more days now to wait Make sure you let me know how you get on and the process and how you felt after it so I know partly what to expect when I get mine done Monday week along with the laparoscopy. Its brilliant they are doing it in perfect timing for you to try this month. I have read great things about getting a BFP after that being done so fingers crossed. xx

@Mumofboys17 Sorry it turned out to be AF on to lucky Cycle 11 hopefully. xx Do you O around the same time each month?

I haven't really even looked to see how many DPO I am because I just know already I will get AF back is at me already. But I'll look now just to give ye an update. I am 5 DPO roll on next week so I can get AF over with and get my procedure done. x

LV1987 · 07/07/2020 11:22

Hi @BFP2020 👋 still waiting for my peak today on CD20. Last month was my 1st month successfully tracking ovulation with OPKs, the previous months from coming off the pill in December I had just estimated as 14 days back from CD1. It actually looks like my LP may only be 12 days, but I only have last month to base that on so we shall see what this month has in store 😁 This month is cycle 6 x
