@Faith82 yesss congratulations 🥰

Yaaaay @Faith82 this is amazing 👏🏽👏🏽

Hi all thank you so much! It’s not sinking in at all I keep looking at in shock. This was our 3rd month of properly trying, and our first month of doing smep, pineapple & Brazil nuts. And yeah we missed the 3rd day in a row of smep!

I’ve had no symptoms except I did feel some lower stabbing pains around what must have been implantation, and been feeling bit woozy but I get that sometimes just in general with tiredness, stress, pmt etc. I only did a test today out of interest because I really warm but nothing more than that prompted me to to do it. Now begins the long road to 12 weeks. I’m really just so surprised but over the moon.

I’m praying for every one if you to get your positives soon you all deserve it so much!!

@Faith82 I really hope you have a smooth and quick next few weeks! Do you have anything going on to keep you busy?

So 15 dpo and I'm still getting bfn on IC...but my temperature is still rising and fertility friend analysis says there is possible triphasic pattern and giving me 80pts for early pregnancy signs. The only thing I am feeling is slightly more tired than usual and really sensitive teeth. I don't believe I am pregnant so just want AF to show up so I can get going for the next cycle.

@Faith82 omg CONGRATULATIONS!!!! So so happy for you. That is amazing news, woo!

How great that an IC showed such a definite line at 10dpo too

This cycle was definitely BFN for us. Shame as I hoped preseed would help.

I finally took the plunge and called GP. I am on CD3 today. It will be 2 years of TTC in sept.

They advised me to come for bloods week before AF due so I will do that.
I am also sorting out my smear test overdue coz of COVID.
He also said for hubby to call too to have seamen sample checked and he is looking to get me referred for basic scan.

Will see how that goes but he said as it’s been 2 years and this is where they would start investigating (I was thinking it's a year not two it's very long time!) then he will refer me to specialist.

I am scared but also feeling slightly better. They did ask about my BMI and I am low BMI all my life now I worry that if I would need NHS help ivf or something that it won’t happen as I literally can’t put on weight 😞😞

@Faith82

I am pregnant! I am in literal absolute shock!!! Me & my husband are just sat here saying this can’t be happening! I haven’t even cried like I thought I would I’m just sat here in shock!

Congratulations!

I've just tested with FRER and still negative
What's going on???😭

@Crayon7 that's great you have contacted your gp and got the ball rolling. I had my bloods yesterday and then got my referral through this morning. I was expecting to wait months for even initial appointment so I'm really glad its next month. Also got the sample cup and appointment through for my husbands semen analysis this morning which is he delighted at the thought of 🤣

@butterfly5291 sorry for another BFN. It is strange with everything you are saying. One of my friends didnt get her first positive pregnancy test until after she was 6 months pregnant! Her bump was massive and she had a few scans and Drs were saying even her bloods were still showing negative for pregnancy. Crazy eh. But fingers crossed it still could be your month.

@Mia1985x wow that is strange.
My oh and sister just keep telling me not to think about it and don't read into things. That's so much easier said than done. I can't believe I'm this obsessed bin my first month. Those that have been trying for months must hate me! I just feel like this vis the only place I can vent and be listened to.

Haha my husband is also a bit apprehensive, I told him you don't have to do it there you just being cup with you lol. Haven't requested it or done that yet for him though.

How long are you been TTC for? X

@Faith82 congratulations, must be an amazing feeling. Let’s hope it one we all get to share the joy of ourselves in the not too distant future

@Crayon7 we have been TTC for 18 months now. Yeah his cup got delivered this morning 🤣 I took pleasure in reminding him thats it's a small sacrifice compared to all us women go through. That shut him up!

It was only about 2 weeks ago I requested the referral for him to be checked so its been pretty fast actually.

Same then 19th cycle for us

@Crayon7 @Mia1985x you're lucky, my OH had to do it there lol. Our only fertility clinic is an hour and a half away unfortunately!

I'm trying soooo hard not to symptom spot during this TWW however I've noticed I've got more CM than normal (sorry TMI), before ovulation I didn't have any, then the normal amount in ovulation then it stopped but seems to have started again since yesterday.
Has anyone experienced this and gone on to have a BFP or even a BFN?

Oh no I didn't ask yet, I am just hoping you just bringing it in now esp with COVID going on now 😎

Hope it will as he probably would be put off a lot 🤞🏻😞

@Crayon7 I think it depends on how far you have to travel with it so hopefully it will be okay for you. I'm on the North Coast of Ireland so everything is fairly limited, like a 3rd world country 😂

@Jadeb1995 ewcm is common throughout the TWW. It can fluctuate a lot throughout your cycle so it's not always wise to go by cm alone. A lot of people get pregnant with no ewcm. Everyone is different, don't stress! 😊

@Crayon7 glad you have made the first step. That is the hard part. I worry about BMI as well (the other way as I am overweight) but must be hard knowing there is not much you can do to increase it.

@Jadeb1995 I had more ewcm one month and thought it was a sign but alas it wasn't as I got BFN. Everyone is different though and I think it can also be a sign of pregnancy.

@butterfly5291 ahh this is so frustrating sorry for the BFN. When is/was AF due?

I am SO TIRED today. Like barely keep my eyes open tired but to be expected as my first week back after furlough for 4 months haha. But as we have to DTD today as got my peak yesterday I am going to have to find some energy from somewhere 🥱

Hey, how is everyone today?

Just got my bloods back and everything came back fine and confirmed ovulation. I asked for the specific level of progesterone after reading a few of your comments on here. It was 30.1 so I guess that's good.

@Mia1985x great news! It's always nice to know one part of all this is working correctly 😂

@CAG14 hope you're feeling brighter today. Going back to my 2nd job after furlough was a real struggle lol

@butterfly5291 any sign of AF today?

I'm having another down day. AF is trailing off but I feel sick of going through another cycle. Off work this afternoon so I'm off to paint our 'office' while the kitten is fast asleep to try and distract myself.

@Mia1985x ah amazing news! That's brilliant. So is the next step getting sperm test?

@stabal yes it is really tiring. Especially as what I've been brought back to do it be kn the consultation panel for redundancies as we are going through a 45 day consulatation period as a company and I'm representing my constituency. All quite draining and grim. Sorry you are having a down day. It is so tiring this whole process isn't it. Hopefully the decorating can distract you but look after yourself and have some "me" time.

We DTD last night and somehow managed to muster up the energy haha! 2DPO so just need to do the 3rd day today for SMEP. I still have a niggling feeling that my ovulation wasn't correct as the CB digital was messed up but I think considering we DTD on CD9, 11, 13, 14 and plan to do it again today and CD17, I think even if it was later ovulation date we will have covered the window 🤞

@Stabal nope...NADA...big fat nothing. I decided not to do any more tests. Too expensive and once you get a no on frer 15 dpo I think safe to say not pregnant. Which I'm fine with...it's the first month...I just want AF to show.

@Mia1985x mine came back as 25 and I was told that was fine so 30 def ok!! Glad it all came back fine

Thanks everyone. Yes it's a relief to at least know this part of the whole complex process is working.

@CAG14 yeah my OH has received his cup and has appointment next week. Then I have a consultation next month with fertility Dr through the referral my GP done. It definitely sounds like you have more than covered all days this month, good job on all the DTD. I'm tired just reading your days Haha.

@Stabal sorry your having a down day, it really does take all your strength some months to build yourself back up ready for yet another new cycle doesnt it. Hope the painting is going well.

@Jadeb1995 yeah it can be so expensive cant it! I would normally say this but hopefully AF arrives soon and you can know where you are at. It's the 2nd guessing everything that can drive us insane at times isnt it. Maybe your body is just taking time to get into a regular cycle.
