Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

[CaribouCarafe]

AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

@LS2020 stopppp 😂 that’s the funniest image!! That’s quite comforting actually, in this together 👯‍♀️

@Ughmaybenot I know I was crying laughing when he got back 😂 “please somebody take my sample” 😂😂
Yes! I’ve got an internal scan to do but they’re doing that alongside the referral to fertility as they think my scan will be done and results back before a fertility place comes up so just have to see!

Had my husbands results back already (yay for being quick!) 87% head abnormalities... I hate that I don’t know what that means for us 🤦🏼‍♀️ 40% rapid motility, 29% slow progressive, which I guess isn’t bad??
Have a call booked with my gp later, don’t mind me, just going to be stressing til then 😬

@Ughmaybenot sorry I didn’t see this yesterday!! What did they say?

@LS2020 apparently there are no real issues with my husband and my referral has been processed today. Hopefully not too long to wait now.

@Ughmaybenot that’s good news! I was going to say those results sounded loads better than ours and doctor said ours were fine ☺️ Is that referral to fertility clinic?

@LS2020 yay for ‘fine’ sperm it’s weird, I feel quite relieved it isn’t anything wrong with my husband but he’s feeling really shit, like he’s worried I’ll be taking it really hard that all this is purely ‘my fault’ (he doesn’t see it like that at all, but is worried I do iyswim?) but we’re in it together either way imo so 🤷🏼‍♀️
It’ll work out for both of us, I know it 😊

@Ughmaybenot yeah I do, though you really need him in top form otherwise would cause you more pain for a longer length of time! Yeah exactly, you know about it, people still have kids naturally with PCOS and you’ve caught it young so loads of time for anything else extra you need. I really hope you hear soon for you both 🤞🏻

@LS2020 you’re so lovely, thank you 😊 how are you getting on?

Massive news in our house today, I’ve actually come on my period 😂 101 day cycle 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi everyone, I'm driving myself crazy this cycle. Period is either 1 or 3 days late depending on which app I look at and I just feel so nervous, don't even want to go to the toilet because I'm so scared of seeing red. Had some light brown discharge this morning. Scared to take a pregnancy test, I don't even have any in the house as I find BFNs so disappointing. Cross with myself for getting my hopes up again.

We have been TTC since June 2019, had some infertility testing done and have first consultation next week. I just so want this but I'm 99% certain AF is about to start and I feel crushed already.

I’m sorry to hear you’re so stressed @Sarah239. It doesn’t seem to matter how many times you tell yourself not to get your hopes up does it? I’m the same tbh. Bodies can be hard bloody work!

@Ughmaybenot Thank you, just went out and bought a cheap test at co-op as wanted to know either way and not spend the rest of the day feeling anxious. BFN and spotting on walk to the shop so pretty sure AF is on its way. Feel calmer now that I know. Thanks for the reply and I'm sorry to hear you are struggling too

@Ughmaybenot snap! CD1 for me today, cycle was 5 days longer after the CP so hoping I regulate a bit more this month. I’m so glad you’ve got a new cycle but 101 days, you’re a trooper!

@Sarah239 sorry to hear AF has arrived for you too. We’ve been trying since July 2019 and it’s a hard journey. We got pregnant last month but had a CP at 5 weeks so now fees back to square one! I hope your consultation goes well, im still waiting to hear 🤞🏻

@Sarah239 oh I am sorry lovely, I was still holding out a bit of hope for you there. I know what you mean tho, sometimes the knowing makes everything that bit easier.

@LS2020 hope you get back to your regular cycles ASAP. Oh my god, do not, after a point it just feels like you forget what a period even is! Going to call nddh on Wednesday I think and see if I can get an idea on how long it’ll be before I get my appointment, not necessarily a date but an idea of how long.

Oops. Call on Wednesday 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Ughmaybenot haha don’t think any internet creepers will track you down with only that info 😂 it can’t be too bad as I was on a fertility hospital thread and we were all from West Yorkshire using the Leeds one and I would have no clue if I saw them! Tbf I’m tempted to do similar as I’m not even sure if they got my letter with the details they asked for, had no acknowledgment!

@LS2020 it’s a big area 😂 anyway, when it comes down to it, I think I’ll want to be going to Exeter, it’s a far better hospital/maternity unit.
That’s such a strange thought! It’s so weird when you stumble across someone you know on here too, I replied to someone I then found out was my old teacher once haha!
To be fair, I know they can be slack with acknowledgements but it pisses me off, let me bloody know where we’re at!!

@Ughmaybenot how on earth did you find your old teacher?! What an odd coincidence!
Did you get anywhere chasing?

@LS2020 I can’t even remember but something twigged with her and she messaged me haha!
Ugh, they hadn’t even sent the referral!! I spoke to the nicest woman at the hospital and she advised it’ll be about a month before I get the initial phone call from the point of referral but that I wasn’t on their system so I called my doctors and they were like ‘oh yea, that’s going in today’ 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Ughmaybenot oh that’s so annoying! I know my referrals gone as got letter from hospital but I don’t know how long it’ll be but the only letter I got, I had to resend back to have no contact details 😩

@mrswilso did you have a scan today? Hope it all went well lovely 💕

Hey girlies 💕
@LS2020 not today - I have one on Thursday - praying everything is okay ✨ will let you know how I get on...
I did have my booking today finally! What an anticlimax...booked in for bloods on Monday though so I'm happy with that.
@Ughmaybenot glad you're finally getting somewhere! It's like hitting your head off a brick wall with the docs right now 🙃

@mrswilso I’ve been thinking about you and got everything crossed for you. Ooh what’s a booking?

@LS2020 my booking appointment - basically just the first one where they ask you a million questions 😂

@mrswilso oh with the midwife? Hope it all goes ok then lovely 🤞🏻

Scan didn't go well today girls 💔 sacs not grown as quickly as it should...and it's still empty.
I've chosen to wait it out naturally for now and they've booked me back in for two weeks time (it's just procedure when you chose to wait) - if nothings changed I'll reconsider the medical options. Is it too early for a wine? 😭
