@Kiza that's so frustrating!

@LikeTheFruit I remember you well. I'm 7 weeks pregnant after IVF. So pleased for you.

@XjustagirlX hoping you get done clarity soon and hoping you're pregnant!

BFN. AF started properly this morning and is really painful.

Morning ladies!

@LikeTheFruit how lovely to see you pop back on, hope you are well!

@Kiza thats so frustrating, did they say how long your appointment letter will take to come through? Are you able to change hospitals? Maybe things will improve now you have made the consultant aware? 🤞🏻

@XjustagirlX sorry to hear its a BFN and AF is here, I found the first AF after my MC to be pretty bad and since the last one they have changed and the first 2 days I am in a terrible place! Sending lots of love your way!

@XjustagirlX sorry to hear about that. x

@ValidUser Thank you! Absolutely delighted for you!

@Lozzlepop hello! Often think of you, a really home you get some answers soon.

Offer still there for anyone on thread looking for some ovulation tests. I don't want them to do to waste so let me know and I'll post them of to you.

Hello ladies. Been a bit MIA as have been camping for a couple of weeks. Now back & due to ovulate in the next couple of days, so hoping this might be our month! Hope you're all well

Morning 😊

@Lozzlepop what a dream 😱😱 it was obviously on your mind 😂

@Annny27 I rarely temp now just pick a few days in my cycle and can kinda get the jist of ovulation etc. It drove me nutty too 😂

@XjustagirlX so sorry af arrived 😕

@LikeTheFruit nice to hear from you, hope you and your little baby are ok ☺️ thank you for the offer but I also have lots too, but thank you!

@Kiza so sorry to hear that, in an already stressful situation you don't want to get more frustrated! I hope you get that appointment ASAP, as @Lozzlepop says, now that the consultant knows fingers crossed he gets things moving 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@annahannah hope you had a lovely time, fingers crossed for you 😊

Morning,

Well I didn't get my blood test done as she couldn't get and blood out of me and I almost passed out 🙈how embarrassing! I've still to go back on Friday but will probably have to do next month too as they wont have any comparison! We had the biggest storm here last night- it was honestly insane, I have never seen a thunderstorm like that in this country ever!

@LikeTheFruit thank you 😃we do too although we are 9 months out till the wedding now so when these results come back we will prob ask for everything to be put on hold for now!

@Lottiepink haha I know- I think its cos the OHs grandad had a vein in his leg burst and it must have been on my mind 🙈

@annahannah how was the camping trip? where did you go?

@XjustagirlX how are you doing lovely?

Hope everyone is well!

So I’m really confused.

My bbt is still high. My boobs hurt. I definitely feel pregnant.

Bleeding only lasted one day. Really painful cramps. Never had AF pains like that before.

im so worried it’s an ectopic This feels very similar to my previous ectopic. I had a strange bleed last time. And then got a positive on what I thought was CD9.

@XjustagirlX is it worth getting a blood hCG level with your gp and repeat in 2 days? Not diagnostic, but indicative.

@XjustagirlX did your FRERs arrive? Have you tested today?

@Lottiepink Thank you lovely!

@Lozzlepop went to Devon which was really good thankyou. Hunted out some quiet spots and spent lots of time chilling and reading which was needed! Haha I'm similar with needles so feel your pain. Hope Friday is more successful than today.

@XjustagirlX our bodies really do play tricks on us sometimes and symptoms can be so confusing! Same as others have posted above, but what did the FRER test say, if you've done it?

Had a really dark line on my strip OPK's today and a smiley face on clear blue digital! Better getting BD'ing these next few days...

Hello Ladies! I think I was on the thread before this one but got distracted by going on holiday and other things! Congratulations on all the BFPs I see skim-reading the thread, and hugs to those still waiting.

We're on cycle 3 now and after having lapsed a bit last month (didn't DTD at all when we should have been, life got in the way!) we're upping our game and are at it every day this time. DP thinks all his Christmases have come at once ;)

How is everyone today?

@XjustagirlX that's so confusing, Especially as your temp hasn't gone down. I'd agree with asking for a blood test or seeing what you're frers are saying when they arrive.

Welcome back @annahannah @HowFastIsTooFast

@Lozzlepop oh no, were you dehydrated? I'm assuming you're going to repeat? Next time try to have food in your system and lots of liquid as that can really impact getting blood out.

My frers say negative.

I think it must be two options. Either I’m not pregnant and my bbt is just confusing me and my one day bleed was AF.

Or

Maybe it was a chemical/ectopic/very early miscarriage which explains the bbt and symptoms and weird AF.

I think I will phone the hospital for a blood test to check my hcg levels. Will they even let me go if I haven’t had a positive pregnancy test or should I just lie?

morning everyone! We are finally enjoying some relief from the heat after a small storm 🙌🙌 11dpo today

@orangeloo I am starting to feel quite rough from the progesteron I imagine - big boobs, bloated and gassy haha!

@XjustagirlX sorry that your frers showed bfn! If your temp if up for a few more days k would take another

@Lozzlepop oh yes if i haven't drunk enough water then they really struggle to get blood out of me!

@HowFastIsTooFast haha we are in the stage of ttc where none of us want to dtd anymore - sucks the fun out of it so enjoy it haha!

@Lottiepink yes i just go from CM now and use my thermometer as my "does anyone in this house have a corona fever" thermometer haha

@kiza did the clinic say what the next steps were or is it a waiting game?

@Annny27 Ha ha yep it's fun this month but I think I'll get some OPK tests for next month

Bless DP's heart, I told him yesterday I'd ordered some books around conception/pregnancy (I'm the type who controls anxieties by being as informed as I possibly can be about any subject) and he's just sent me through a snap of his own amazon order, two books for hopeful/expectant Dads. I love how excited he is

Lucky you having a storm! We had them forecast all day yesterday but just a bit of rain and then the hottest night we've had so far!

TTC 1 how do I join? Congrats girls!

Hi ladies, TTC for the first time. I had my implant removed yesterday so we are now officially TRYING!! Any advice would be great. Be so nice reading all your posts!

@HowFastIsTooFast That's so sweet of your DP! I'm very similar in terms of controlling anxiety by trying to feel like I'm in control because I hold information haha. Enjoy your reading!

Welcome both @Imworthit and @Helenh19 - this is my first cycle trying to!

Currently on CD17 - positive OPK yesterday and this morning so DTD last night but also want to tonight. Trying not to put too much pressure of anything, for both me and DP sake!

@Annny27 we received another call from the Dr we spoke to on Monday as he did some digging for us. He managed to bump us up the list a bit so said it will be around 4 weeks until our 'treatment planning appointment' so we feel much more settled and relaxed about it now. Do you have to keep taking the progesterone all the way through the cycle? I can only imagine the symptoms will increase during the LP which sounds a bit rough for you!

@HowFastIsTooFast that's so sweet that your partner had ordered those and supporting you in that way.

@XjustagirlX how are you getting on?

Hey everyone :) had a bfn at 12dpo so didn't work this month! BUT its 13dpo today and had absolutely no spotting or brown cm so the progesterone must have helped something so I am pretty ready for next month and hopeful :D going to stop taking the progesterone tomorrow at 14dpo

We are going to go AT it next month and dtd everyday in fertile week haha. We didnt dtd on ovulation day this month and I regret it

@kiza that's promissing that there only.4 weeks to wait untill your planning appointment. And then hopefully it isnt tooooo long to wait after that! Yep you take the progesterone untill 14dpo

@howfastistoofast thats really sweet that he bought that book :)

Hey ladies,

Im new so jump on this thread, i got my nexoplan implant out last week snd starting our journey ttc. So nervous x

Happy Saturday ladies!

Hello and welcome to the new ladies :)

@annahannah oh that sounds lovely, I've never been down that way but heard it's lovely! Thankfully she managed to get blood out of me on Friday so we shall see if I need to go again next month!

@Annny27 I never knew this, I drank 4 pints of water before I went on Friday lol! Sorry to hear it was a BFN but good to hear the progesterone seems to be doing the trick!

@Kiza yes she suspected I was, never felt that terrible for that long though, will deffo know for next time! The fertility nurse was off this week so I couldn't call and check but I am guessing I will need to have it redone next month. Thats fab that you have been bumped up the list, 4 weeks will fly in!

@XjustagirlX sorry you are having such a rubbish time, how are you doing, did you call EPU?

CD 26 and brown spotting has started, feel like my cycles are getting shorter, usually have a 33day cycle (approx) but last month was only 28 days?! No idea whats going on!

@kiza glad you got pushed up the list.

Im CD8 today. I did another tests yesterday and it was negative so whatever happened there is definitely nothing there now anyway.

We are trying again from today. This month I’m not going to record my bbt and just try to relax more. I still plan to do my ovulation tests though. We are going to BD every other day from today.

I tried to book some acupuncture but it’s all closed near me.
