Just realised I asked the same question twice 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Lozzlepop That's so, so hard and unfair. Thinking of you. x

@whatsthecraic91 that's brilliant news! Delighted for you.

Thanks for everyones kind words, I have given myself a good shake since the other day- I think it was just a lot to take in the other day, AF was here and one of our usher's wives announced her second pregnancy so was a bit of a tough day! I am just frustrated as I feel I am getting the bare minimum of info and literally having to drag it out of the nurse....surely she should be giving me the info?!

@timswifey that would be a lovely anniversary gift, when are you going to test?

@whatsthecraic91 20 weeks already, that has flown in- congratulations on being team blue how exciting!!

@Narwhal88 I am on Instagram, I've never really thought of looking there for advice, I must have a look. Are you private for your investigations? Thats really good there is no IVF waiting time, the IVF wait here is a year!

Going to test tomorrow. Can't believe I've waited this time! Natural Cycles will recommend I take a test tomorrow if AF is still not here - fingers crossed.

I've been feeling weak and tired lately and had the occasional wave of nausea but trying not to read anything into it. Hope for the best but assume AF is coming until I know she's not.

BFN this morning 😢

The weakness I was experiencing was probably anaemia, my iron does get really low.

@timswifey thats gutting :( I thought with it being 16dpo it would have been for sure a bfp :( any sign of AF?

@whatsthecraic91 that's lovely news! A little boy will be wonderful 💗 do you have a bump :D send us a pic if so

@timswifey Oh I'm sorry. :(

Can I join? 8th cycle now! x

@Annny27 my cycles are pretty long at 31 or 32 days. Need to wait a long time before testing next time.

Seems to be taking so long but 5 cycles since miscarriage isn't actually that long is it. Feels like an age though!

Thanks @annahannah

Welcome @LynnMcV how are you doing?

I'm going to get some supplements for DH and I to look after our inner health a bit more. I'm a Neal's Yard consultant so I can grab a discount 👍

@timswifey sorry to hear it was a BFN, fingers crossed for next month!

@Annny27 how are you feeling now after the progesterone?

@LynnMcV hello and welcome to the thread!

How is everyone? whats on this weekend?

@Narwhal88 thank you

@ValidUser Thanks! Hope you are keeping well! How many weeks are you now?

@Lozzlepop thanks it really has flown. Hope you are feeling better than what you were ❤️

@timswifey so sorry about AF, fingers crossed for next cycle 🤞🏼

@Annny27 I always thought I would have wanted a girl more but I am really excited about having a boy 💙 I have a little bump, if you didn't know I was pregnant you wouldn't know! I've been quite lucky so far but I'm sure I will balloon soon 🙈 hope you're keeping ok x

Hey ladies! Sorry been MIA..took last month news pretty hard and then just got manically busy which was actually super helpful! Just caught up with everyone’s news! It’s so heartbreaking when you reading about all the symptoms and then BFNs😭 was really rooting for u! @Lozzlepop sorry you hit the dead end..it’s so frustrating infertility is not treated as an illness! It could be so life limiting:(
@mrsbecs congratulations!! That is amazing news! Hope it progresses well! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I’m testing again tomorrow, cd26, a bit early but I have ultra early tests so I’m confident I’ll see something if it’s positive..no symptoms really, I’m on progesterone, so bigger boobs are probably just a side effect🙄
Maybe it’s lucky Cycle 23 🤞🏻

BFN:(

@Lozzlepop yeah if you search #recurrent miscarriage #ttccommunity you will find lots of accounts. No we are NHS, we could just about afford private if we need to in the future but have been lucky with the NHS so far and we get 2 funded cycles.

@timswifey sorry about BFN, but yeah 5 cycles isn't that long really, I imagine it feels longer due to the MC though 🙁

@Lotusflower11 sorry about your BFN too. I have found it easier to deal with this far in (cycle 19) but it still hurts. That's why I don't test and just wait for AF, I just hate that single line. Sorry I can't remember now, what was your news last month again?

How's everyone getting on? Xx

Morning ladies :) been a busy weekend for us we visited friends so haven't logged on here! Its cd7 for me so maybe entering fertilr week soon, depends how early ovulation is!

@Lotusflower11 sorry about bfn :( whens AF due?

@whatsthecraic91 thats a lovely little bump :D yes I thinj after infertility you honestly don't care what the gender is! I used to have a very strong girl preference but now i will take whatever blessing 🥰🥰🥰

@timswifey did AF arrive yet or have you retested? Happy wedding anniversary, ours is coming up soon too - 3 years!

@Lozzlepop felt really bad 1 day after the progesterone with the hormone "come down" but fine now :D will start taking it again around 3dpo ish I think.

@Narwhal88 thats good your area has w funded cycles. Pretty sure ours is 1 (south east england) 🙄

Thank you for support 🙏🏻 I hate seeing that single line too:( Unfortunately I can’t not test, as on Progesterone period won’t start unless you stop taking it, so Dr set a date for a test each month..if BFN, I come off it and AF arrives in a few days, so expecting today!
@Narwhal88 last month was our first medicated cycle, so again naively I thought it will work 1st time (2 years taught me nothing😅) as we were fixing all the known issues..so BFN hit me hard🙄

@Lotusflower11 I am also on progesterone so test on 14dpo to then stop taking it! :(

Hey everyone! Hope all is well, glad to see some sunshine today!

aww @Lotusflower11 sorry to hear! Fingers crossed for you for next month.

@whatsthecraic91 congratulations on your 20 week scan, glad everything is great and a little boy is on the way :)

I had a scan at 7weeks 4 days it was so cool seeing a blob with a heart beat fluttering. And strange seeing ovaries on the screen, it was like a science lesson!
I am now nearly 9 weeks! I have told a few people, I was so ill for a few weeks there - I don't think you can really prepare yourself for that! But i have felt good for 3 days in a row now yipeee so the excitement is back :) xx

@ValidUser sorry forgot to tag you above. Hope you are getting on well?x

@timswifey awk no way, hope you still had a nice anniversary x

Hi Ladies, sorry have been a bit quiet with some family stuff.

@timswifey sorry it was a BFN, it's hard isn't it when a special occasion comes up and we think how amazing it would be to mark it with a BFP.

@Narwhal88 sounds like a bit of a mixed bag of results, some hopeful stuff in there. The way my IVF appointment is dragging we may end up being IVF buddies!

Temping chart looks a bit odd this cycle... not sure what's going on with these low temps so early in the LP?

Afternoon everyone :) cd9 and in fertile week at the moment i think . Had areally high LH reading today but my urine was very concentrated as hadn't drunk much so it might be that or it might be that i get a peak tomorrow at cd10.....who knows!

@kiza yes they are pretty low! Could it have been sleeping with your mouth open or something like that? Could be implantation at 5dpo? Although might be a bit early 🤔

@mrsbeca glad everything is going well for your bean :D

@Annny27 nah I sleep on my side so no mouth hanging open 😆 it's shot back up this morning so who knows!
Maybe it's an early ovulation for you this cycle?

Afternoon ladies,

How are we all doing?

@whatsthecraic91 what an adorable bump 😍yes I am, was just a hormonal emotional wreck last week lol!

@Lotusflower11 sorry it was a BFN, its so frustrating, I have a friend in a similar situation and she's had even less tests than what we have?!

@Narwhal88 thanks I will deffo have a look! Was the DNA Karyotyping freely offered or was it something you had to push for?

@mrsbecs glad to hear that you are feeling better again ☺️

@Annny27 so when are you taking the progesterone and for how long? The nurse has said to me that they would prescribe it to me after getting a positive test, just seems that things vary so much from area to area!

@Kiza how are you getting on? I can't offer any advice on temping unfortunately.

Has anyone got any experience taking Clomid?
