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

@LV1987 ahh I love malbec!! Fully my fav ❤️ yeah, I'm sad that you have to feel like that though, I hope you get a bfp soon god knows trying for a certain period of time does something to you! I'm excited to get af out of the way Sunday and get to fertile week again. I am going to drink bucket loads of water (as I have been this past week) and take 4000 mg of primrose oil again (I had none last cycle left) and syringes lol lots and lots of self insemination and fuck it I might even get out the god forsaken cup that got stuck 😂😂

BFN today! I was bothered when I did it at 5am, but feel better for sleeping on it - I think I'm going to play it that way next month too! Going to enjoy some drinkies this evening 🍾 and wait out AF (due Tuesday). Then it's onwards with cycle 7, I hope this one will be slightly shorter because as it stands, I'm due on smack bang in the middle of our road trip holiday!!

@LV1987 sorry about the BFN lovely x I'm definitely taking a leaf out your book this cycle too though!! I'll get up early on testing day, then if it's BFN back to bed to sleep on it and start the day again, I hate doing it when I get up and having that dark looming cloud above my head all day!!

@Missgoldilocks have you tried self insemination before? We were considering it before I fell with DS last time, as we get closer and closer to the 12month mark again I can't help but be curious xx

Dunno what's going on with me this week, figured I'd already ovulated but cm was very wet and ewhite-like again yesterday so we DTD in the afternoon during DS' danger nap just in case. Feel the same again today but could just be DH's leftovers 🙃 will check again tonight and maybe DTD if needed. I tell you this no OPK business is so weird 😂😂 no idea what's what haha but I do feel better not knowing! Feels much less stressful and regimented x

@LV1987 I'm sorry about the bfn, I hope month 7 will be kinder to you!! Enjoy all the drinks xx

@Mumofboys17 yes, we are doing it this month. I've had enough lol and we don't dtd enough so I'm buying syringes and I'll be self inseminating every day over fertile period. Annoying about the ewcm but you're doing the right thing by dtd! Lol x

@Mumofboys17 that's exactly what it is - I've got a life to get on with, and a pretty cool day planned today, so I wanted it out of the way so that I didn't spoil those plans 😊 I also think as and when I get my positive, that'll mean it doesn't stop me logging on for work on time 🤣🤣

@missgoldilocks mate, no one else is getting a look in at that free bar - my OH won it for him and his colleagues, and we are frigging claiming it 🤣

@Missgoldilocks @Mumofboys17

🤞🤞keeping everything crossed for you both!!!! It will happen ♥️

I only come on here now to see how you’re both doing. Got my baby showe today, weather isn’t great typically, but story of my life 😂 xxx

@LV1987 sorry about your Negative but hope your having an amazing night. I pretty much have the same situation next Saturday as it's my birthday so either I will get an amazing birthday present or I can get really drunk instead 😂 x

Win/win then @Danni2019! X

@Sunflower2019 hope you had a lovely day yesterday!! 💙💙

@Danni2020 is AF due for you Saturday? X

@Missgoldilocks this is obvs about 3 years ago but me and DH looked into the 'Stork' self insemination kit last time and it sounded quite highly rated? Probably something better to get now but I remember it because of the name 😂 thought it might be worth a mention xx

I want to say I'm 1dpo today.. been swimming in ewcm this week and that never happens to me. I think I've got a mild form of PCOS or something (I was tested for this before and they said I didn't have it) but I'm convinced I don't ovulate every month, as when this happens I'm certain of it 🤷🏼‍♀️ who knows anymore 😂
Hope you're all ok xxx

@Mumofboys17 af due Sunday but will test Saturday just to be sure and be able to get really drunk if negative. X

@Mumofboys17 thanks chick, I'm just gonna doit with syringes though 😂😂 just bought some more EPO tabs as I ran out last cycle. Af here today and painfully so, but I'm already over it being here haha. Hope you're okay and enjoyed your weekend x

@Danni2020 don't blame you! Hopefully it's good news for you xx

@Missgoldilocks fair do's!! I think if we go over 12 months again that idea may have to come back onto the table for us... we shall see! Sorry AF's here, I know you were expecting it but it's still shite x we're actually isolating at home at the moment, I had C-19 symptoms last week and we have to wait for my swab tests to come back before we can do anything 🙁 sounds much nicer than it is lol DH isn't too happy about it either, but what can I do!! I'm just hoping it comes back negative 😫 (a sentence I never thought I'd write on this thread!!😂) xx

On knicker watch today - 13 or 14dpo! I was expecting to wake up to my period as that's what happened last month, but nothing as of yet.

How are we all?

@LV1987 ohh!! That's exciting! How are you feeling? Hope AF has stayed away for you today x

Nothing exciting to report here, I'm somewhere between 3-5dpo I think 😂

Hi @Mumofboys17 😘 feeling incredibly periody!! But no AF yet - after the BFN on Saturday though, I do think she's just around the corner 😑

@LV1987 any sign of af? Also feeling very periody already too so pretty sure I'm out for this cycle again. Well getting drunk on my birthday it is! Also got my appointment on Friday to discuss things so hopefully there is more tests they can suggest for me. X

Hey @Danni2019 she got me this morning. Barely here at the moment, but I seems to have a really light day before she comes in all her glory! I hope you CAN'T get drunk for your birthday 😁😘🤞🍾

@LV1987 sorry af showed up onwards and upwards to the next cycle. Having my down day I normally have before af shows up feel so crappy where everything always gets to me. Hopefully get it out of my system after today 🙁 x

@Danni2019 sorry you're feeling like shit, that's the worst day for me too though mine comes about 2-3 days prior to af. Its awful and we are allowed to feel down this is such a hard process. So glad you have your appointment to discuss things, that should help make you feel like something is being done instead of sitting around waiting if you will xx

@lv1987 sorry af got you 🥺😬 she's the uninvited person who crashes the party except she comes every month, with pain and stained knickers. Fucking bitch x

@Mumofboys17 how are you lovely xx

@Danni2020 I get down days too!! But to echo what others have said it's true you are allowed to feel like that sometimes, TTC is so shit it's just draining! Just don't let the down day overwhelm you. Acknowledge it, try and do a bit of self care (for me it's a face mask and a lush bath 😂) and then wake up tomorrow and carry on 💗 have you been for an appointment with the same person before? If not deffo go in armed with a list ready, don't take any shit!! X

@LV1987 sorry about that 🙁 stupid shitty AF. As I'm sure we've said on here before, statistically with each failed cycle you're closer to a BFP... 😬 at least I keep telling myself that anyway!!! X

@Missgoldilocks I'm alright, plodding along in that blissfully unaware first week of TWW 😬 no idea how many dpo I am, could be anywhere from 5-7dpo (maybe🤷🏼‍♀️) as annoying as it is not knowing, it's actually also kind of relieving! AF is due mid next week some point. I have no tests at all in the house and plan to keep it that way til next week. I'm hoping going with the reversed psychology approach it might lead to a more positive outcome..... let's all laugh at my naivety!! 😂
How are you doing?? Xx

@Mumofboys17 @Missgoldilocks
Thanks ladies. I had some hot sex to cheer myself up 😀. I like it when there is no pressure and you can just enjoy being with each other.

It's a private GP I'm going to with fertility expertise apparently so hopefully she will be able to offer me some help and knowledge or hopefully offer me more tests. Just tired of waiting around for the NHS. My OH finally has his sperm analysis booked in for middle
of August too and then if all is fine we will be referred to the the fertility clinic but the GP said it's a 6 month waiting list to be seen and with the clinic being closed during Lockdown it will be even longer to be seen by someone. I just don't think my patience will last that long!

Still have my fingers crossed for @Mumofboys17 and @BFP2020 for this cycle. 🤞 xx

@Danni2020 Yaaaasss to hot sex! Totally agree once the pressures off it's so much easier to relax. And bless you, I'm not feeling positive at all 😂 I'm just ignoring it all now haha, we shall see. I'd love to go private and seek some proper fertility help but DH is a 'it'll happen eventually' type 🙄 xx

Top one is my ridiculously strong positive it read as 200 peak which is the highest my app goes 🥳🥳🥳 also has loads of EWCM last 2 days so he did something right anyway in my procedure I'm ovulating earlier CD 17 today I'll count today as O day but normally with my pains I O same day as my peak! We DTD CD13,15,16 take a break now tonight and we will do CD 18 for luck! Will keep testing with OPKs until CD21 just in case I get a second peak.

@Mumofboys17 stay positive you never know especially since you took the stress out of it this month 😘

@Danni2020 When Are you due? Was it hard for you to convince OH to get the SA done? one tip check with the place first but our place never told me he could bring the sample with him so he had to go into the place and into a room and produce it there so I actually think he would have been a lot better if he was able to do it at home and then drop it in which is an option and that is the way we will be doing it next month if we need the IUI. He even said to me he felt so pressured that there was only a little bit.

I have my baseline scan booked for the 10th AUG and I'm currently due AF on the 11th/12th. Have my prescription at the ready for my injections. I am really trying to be positive that we might not need it though :)

@BFP2020 That is a beautiful peak!! 😍 remind me what procedure was it you had done? I've never had a peak that dark I want in 😂😂
Thank you my lovely x I'm always still a little hopeful but I'm just SO used to the disappointment! My DS was playing in the garden for ages yesterday with our neighbours kids (over the fence, mind so socially distanced 🙃) and he loved it so much, I just felt guilty that I haven't given him a sibling yet because he so needs it in his life 😭
