Lucky thread number 5.... hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@BFP2020 that's great news that everything is healthy and you have a plan moving forward. Must be a big relief! You have probably said before but can I ask how long you have been trying? Also have you gone private or was all this referred through your go? X

@Danni2020 I'm on cycle 20 I have health insurance so went private lap and dye was covered and I have 2000 towards fertility treatments so I'll have enough for 2 IUIs but my doctor seems to think I should get pregnant this month but I wouldn't hold my breath!! Going to try push for IUI next cycle rather than sept cycle which is what he wants to do 🙈

@BFP2020 fingers crossed you don't have to go for the IUI and you do fall pregnant this month but I can understand you not getting your hopes up after trying so long but at least you have some treatment to help you get there on the cards and really hope it works out for you as I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It's very tough not being able conceiving! I'm on cycle 14 and feel like giving up so I can't imagine how your feeling being on cycle 20. I feel after this cycle I am going to make an appointment with a private clinic as I need some answers or something to move forward with x

@Danni2020 thank you It took me 2 years to get pregnant with my DD so maybe I'm just one of those ppl who it takes longer for! Is it your first? It's the hardest thing to go through it's just that you try so hard and it's stressful the timing the DTD as well.
Don't wait just go did you get any of the blood tests or anything yet?

@BFP2020 we are trying to conceive our second I have a son who is 3 and conceived him really easily 2nd cycle which is why it is so hard this time round. I did conceive but miscarried and so it feels further down the for me as this is cycle 14 since the miscarriage but in reality it is like 6 months before that we have been trying as well. Definitely going to get a private appointment as keep saying to myself after this next cycle I will go and keep putting it off. Had all the blood work done and everything fine except I have an under active thyroid which they are trying to balance out with medication but had to just up my dose at last check up so it definitely could be that stopping us but would rather know it's not anything else too as would then feel better.

Definitely the timing of DTD is the hardest part. I don't tell my OH when I'm ovulating and try to not make it obvious as I think it would ruin it. He probably does know and just goes with it which is good as most of the cycles we have timed it well with a couple where work schedules got in the way so I feel I am lucky in that sense but always around FW I feel here we go again and have to motivate myself where I would love to just relax and have fun each month again without feeling the pressure of this one week every month!

Sorry this has turned into a long post but I honestly wish you luck. Going to book an appointment tomorrow for just after my period being over that way I can have something to keep me going when it does arrive. Even just to talk to someone would be good. X

@Danni2020 I was on here a lot for the first year of trying but had to take a step back because everyone else was getting BFPs and I wasn't. I find that as the months go in you just expect AF to turn up so your not as disappointed as when I think this is the month!
Sorry to hear you had a miscarriage! The thyroid could be your issue so once that balances out you will hopefully get your BFP. So really your are on cycle 20 if you add in the 6 months trying before your miscarriage so you are the same as me. My DD is 4 5 in November!
Where are you in your cycle now? It's great to talk to someone similar to me who knows how it feels x

@BFP2020 yea I definitely feel I'm on cycle 20 now like you say. I'm 3DPO just now the first week in the TWW doesn't bother me but the second week I hate seems to take forever and even though you just know AF is going to show up you still have that little voice saying well maybe it could be your month. I don't seem to get that disappointed about af showing up anymore though which is good. As I have had a few emotional moments we will say in the last year with this long journey but I seem to have come out the other side of those and not let it get to me anymore. I just have a glass of wine and say on to the next month but I think an appointment to talk things through with someone will help to see what other tests I g set done just to be sure x

@BFP2020 you will definitely need to keep us posted with how you get on this cycle everything crossed for you 🤞and @Missgoldilocks as you both have just had your dye tests. If you both get a BFP I will be definitely with booking this test! X

Hey girls,

Hope your are all doing well? Any updates?

I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant, getting nervous now. I’ve been having growth scans, he currently weighs 4lb 7oz so not too bad! Time is flying, starting to make me anxious about birth etc now. I have a little family baby shower low key at the weekend which will be nice. Although weather isn’t set to be great.

Xxxx 💗💗

@Sunflower2019 hey lovely! It's ellsbells :) glad everything is going well for you!! I'm baby shower sounds nice ❤️
Only update from me is I've had all tests done and all normal but now on cycle 12 of trying xxx

@BFP2020 that's fantastic!! Likewise I hope you won't need the IUI but all sounds positive either way 😊 hopefully it's all up from here for you x

@Danni2020 did you manage to get an appt at all? X

@Missgoldilocks remind me where you are in your cycle?? Are you still waiting for AF or did it show? 🙁 xx

@Sunflower2019 I can't believe your boy will soon be here! So exciting!! No updates from me I'm afraid, I think I ovulated yesterday so holding out for lucky cycle 11 🤞🏻 xx

@Mumofboys17 hey chick, af due Sunday. Had bad cramps and felt sick on 9dpo nothing since so pretty sure it was pms symptoms. Tired today 😞 feel crappy because it's probably gonna come. How are you did you manage to dtd enough? Xx

Welcome back @Mumofboys17, hope you squeezed in plenty of sexy time.

AF for me due on Tuesday, testing on Saturday when I will be either 10 or 11 DPO. Then I can drink gin on Saturday if its negative...fingers crossed I'll have to fake it with just Tonic! Kinda feeling exactly as I do every other month though, so not banking on it 🤷‍♀️

@Missgoldilocks sorry you're feeling crappy. You're not out til AF shows though remember xx

@LV1987 I have everything crossed you'll be forcing down a glass of plain tonic this weekend 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

I reckon I'm out this month already 😂 as I haven't used OPK's (used the only 3 I had too early and didn't order more) I'm not 100% sure if or when my surge happened.. had some ewcm on Monday and Tuesday and only DTD on Tuesday and last night. Got some cramping that feels like O cramps on my right side today so might try DTD again tonight if we can manage it 😬 glow predicted O day as yesterday but obviously it's exactly that - just a prediction!

I have the urge to do a pregnancy test tomorrow I'd be 12dpo... I dunno why but maybe I shouldn't. I just kind of want to know either way now I feel super impatient this cycle

@Missgoldilocks I feel you. It's like a double edged sword, every time I do a test there's that glimmer of hope and excitement followed by that dropping feeling in your stomach 😫 How long is your LP normally? Xx

@Mumofboys17 it's so shit. For once I've gone super quiet on my OH too, like I just having nothing to say about it and he can see I'm really down. My LP is 14 days, so due on Sunday. If I test at least I like stop thinking maybe and I'll know either way?

Defo get another session in misses! All the apps just predict but don't actually know since our bodies can be so erratic lol xx

@Missgoldilocks I think sometimes doing a test just puts your mind at rest and you can get on with the next few days without constantly thinking about it. I think by 12DPO most early pregnancy tests would be quite accurate unless it's a really late implantation which does happen so you never know. X

@Mumofboys17 I have made my appointment for next Friday although I wouldn't be due AF until the Sunday I just have no hope anymore so thought I would just get the consultation part done first and then see what they say in regards to further tests they can do. X

@LV1987 not long until Saturday now fingers crossed for you 🤞x

Bfn

@Missgoldilocks oh darling I'm so sorry 😢 I hope you're ok? Xxx

@Missgoldilocks so sorry it was negative. When did you test? Are you not better with FMU when testing early? Hope your doing ok today too x

@Mumofboys17 @Danni2019 thanks girls I'm okay I just wish this was easier I know you girls totally understand! Sick of thinking about it all the time and just wondering. Xxx

Oh mate, that sucks 😑 time for wine? It's 5 o'clock somewhere 😘

@LV1987 more like chocolate! Lol anyway I satisfied that craving last night with skinny bakery cake and protein ice cream it was amazing hahaha. How are you? Xx

@missgoldilocks yes to chocolate - I have several options in the fridge ready to console me tomorrow if needed. My fave malbec was on offer in sainsburys, so OH got me a bottle of that just in case 😂😂

I'm OK... Starting to feel more anxious about testing tomorrow, but then I swing back to feeling cool with it again. Everything seems to be going the same way as last cycle, so I've got no real reason to think it will be a different out come... And I think I'm OK with that, as I've actually learned a lot this cycle about my body and what is normal for me. It helped that I had a four week lead up to FW to prepare myself again 🤦‍♀️
