@VP91x just to add as well, I had no periods at all before I looked into this, not without being on the pill, so you are already ahead of the game there. I'm sure with you, it's just about encouraging ovulation each month

@Hayleylou89 hey lovely. Sounds promising - you really are being looked after, and if that's what they think caused the loss last time, then hopefully with the close management, this should be a lovely smooth pregnancy for you. Amazing news xx

Pugprincess · 23/07/2020 19:18

I’m showing my crap taste in tv now but mtv teen mom og anyone? One of the ladies on that called maci bookout has pcos and uses her fame to be a pcos advocate and spread awareness. She has 3 or 4 kids also.

Interesting about the cortisol affecting progesterone, I really think that was my problem. Well I hope. Otherwise I’m back off to fertility clinic 🙄

Pugprincess · 23/07/2020 19:20

@VP91x I wonder if there’s some medication or supplements they can suggest. Do you have any children? Or your partner? Maybe clomid would work well for you xx

MichT4 · 23/07/2020 19:21

@Pugprincess I hate to add to the irritating 'don't stress' thing, but it obviously does make a difference. Just annoying that not stressing is blinkin impossible!

We have a situation here, also bad tv. I'm watching married at first sight while devouring a sharer size bag of sweet chilli sensations. Someone tape my mouth shut

Northernsoul90 · 23/07/2020 19:21

@Hayleylou89 I'm glad you are being looked after this time and they are keeping a close eye on you! Xxx

Pugprincess · 23/07/2020 19:26

@MichT4 omgosh I loveeee married at first sight! The Australian one yes? What an arse has Andrew turned out to be lol. Shame I liked him too.

I think I wasn’t stressing as in like work pressure but just the physical act of 12 hour days doing two jobs and lack of sleep and not looking after my diet etc was stressing my body out. I’m still convinced because why after 5 years would it happen in lockdown. Soon as I stopped everything. That’s why I’m eager to try during summer hols. Although the way Leicester’s going I might not be back at school full time anyway. Xx

MichT4 · 23/07/2020 19:29

@Pugprincess I think it's more the underlying stress that's more damaging, so it would make sense that you didn't feel it. But underneath your body is responding. She told me my body was under so much stress, it couldn't have held a pregnancy, so it shut down the reproductive hormones.

I'm not sure I've got that far yet, I'm catching up. But the way her dad just treated him made me want to reach through the tv and punch him, so I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes an arse

Hayleylou89 · 23/07/2020 19:31

Thanks @Mich2020 hope so!
Xx

Pugprincess · 23/07/2020 19:32

@MichT4 ah sorry spoiler alert 🚨yes her dad was awful. Yes lockdown has taught me and I bet half the nation a few lessons! X

SmileyT · 23/07/2020 19:32

@VP91x focussing on the diet and exercise sounds like a great plan, it will make you feel better and also I think having something else to set goals for can't be a bad thing. My day was busy and OH has ordered me a battered sausage and chips for when he gets in from work so my diet is going well 🙄

@Hayleylou89 so glad you are being looked after my lovely, where is the next holiday? xx

@Rebecca1992 I think the CB week are supposed to be taken with a pinch of salt as the ranges are huge... on the 12th you would've been like 10dpo so not far off 2 weeks and today you'll be near enough 3 weeks post ovulation. If you got your BFP early then it probably means you implanted early which is when hcg will start so can always be a few days out. If I remember correctly @2020wish did a CB and got 2-3 earlier than expected x

@Pugprincess I love teen mom all of them 👌🏾

MichT4 · 23/07/2020 19:34

@SmileyT grrrreeat. Now I want a battered sausage and chips. Sounds a delight

Hayleylou89 · 23/07/2020 19:36

@Renna just read ur nightmare about the house! Xx i hope u get it sorted and know that everything will work out just how it should its just took a little diversion....
I still cnt believe uv not had af yet... have u tested again since a few days ago? Xx

Hayleylou89 · 23/07/2020 19:39

@SmileyT thank u its just a week in benidorm 17th aug in a big kids hotel with all my hubbys sisters / brothers and all kids, but ill just be chilling 💯 ... The dr said its absolutely fine to go and i wouldnt have normally been checked by them until 16 weeks anyway so it fine to check me when im back at 17 weeks instead, so that was reassuring. But still not great hearing my cervix is already on the short side at 12 weeks x how r u getting on x

MichT4 · 23/07/2020 19:43

@VP91x I agree with @SmileyT. Just focus on the diet and exercise and set yourself some goals.
I don't want to overwhelm you with that stuff, but I think you'll find some useful things in there. I've just skimmed through the supplements one again and it's just quite interesting.
You'll hopefully have some guidance soon, but I hope you find something useful in there xx

Lollol86 · 23/07/2020 19:54

@2020wish with my last pregnancy I had a scan bang on 6 weeks based on my last period so was more like 4 weeks but I saw the babies heartbeat xx

2020wish · 23/07/2020 19:54

@Hayleylou89 I’m glad they have potentially got to the bottom of what went wrong last time and are now monitoring u and putting a plan in action. Go and enjoy ur holiday and have a blast!!

@SmileyT @Rebecca1992 yes I got a 2-3 today. I ovulated on the 8th, last AF was 23-27th June. So depending which app I use or going from ovulation itself I’m only between 4.0 weeks and 4.3 weeks. I found out at 7dpo x

2020wish · 23/07/2020 19:56

@Lollol86 that is good to know :) a bit excited nowadays hope I get that far x

Lollol86 · 23/07/2020 19:58

@Pugprincess just catching up from today and I'm literally crying at how you have been doing the ovulation tests. You've cheered me right up 😂😂😂 at least you know now xx

Renna · 23/07/2020 19:58

@Hayleylou89 hi hun xx glad your appointment went well and you're being well looked after xx I know it's so strange ... I phoned my GP and told them my AF is 7 days late and what to do . They said I had that internal scan a month ago and everything was fine then so they're not worried something is wrong and they said either some women miss a bleed some months (which has never happened to me other than when on contraceptives) and she said or it could be you are pregnant and ovulated later and not showing up on tests yet she said to retest on Monday and if still negative and no AF to call her back. My cervix still closed and I have quite a lot of cervical mucus 🤷‍♀️ so doesnt feel like AF is on her way . I only have cheapie tests left so done a cheapie HCG test and did an ovulation test this morning. Both negative . I'm going to acupuncture tomorrow , sometimes treatment can help with regulating cycles .. if I'm not pg and thats what I need so I can get on with trying again . But thinking maybe I should start doing my opks incase i missed a bleed then I'll know if I see a peak in that xx

Renna · 23/07/2020 20:01

@VP91x please dont stress about PCOS 😘 I know a few people who have it and have had no trouble getting pregnant and I hope you doing some research etc puts your mind at ease and hopefully will make you feel more in control xxx how did they diagnose ? Was it just blood tests or have you have a scan of your uterus/ovaries etc as well ? Xxxx

Pugprincess · 23/07/2020 20:06

@Lollol86 glad to be of service 😂

@Hayleylou89 glad they have checked you out sooner and will keep an eye on you. X

@VP91x 😳😳😂😂 I cannot believe we've gone through another thread.

Thanks lovely xx

Lollol86 · 23/07/2020 20:09

@VP91x At least you're have an answer now and like the other girls have said you can look at treatments and things you can do to help. Also don't forget you have fallen pregnant twice so you know it can be done. I always thought my periods were regular until I started tracking them a couple of years ago and realised that I actually have irregular periods xx

Mommybear05 · 23/07/2020 20:16

@SmileyT glad you are doing well. Yes patiently that’s the word. Patience is key. How are your pregnancy symptoms? Still feeling like you need to pee all the time haha. With my son the nausea hit me so bad when I got to six weeks xx
