TTC - Thread 2- a lucky one!

[Blossom428]

Hi guys....
Thought I'd set up this new thread for us.
Tag anyone else from the group I've not got.

@AnxiousAnnie86
@Spinksy9 (thought I'd tag for you to check in with us after your BFP 😆)
@Chlo2701

@TheOrangeMonster the can't remember if it was you that I spoke to about high prolactin the other day 🤦 I wouldn't worry too much as that can be sorted with medication. I am on Cabergoline for high prolactin levels. Fingers crossed for the blood test results

@theorangemonster Fingers crossed for your results, sounds good that it can be sorted with medication.

Ladies, this might sound totally TMI but my bleeding today and yesterday has been a pinky orange colour (not the usual brown-red like AF) and my cramps have been different as well (milder). Do you reckon this is just a strange period considering it's so late? I've got my blood test next week at the doctor's so wondering if I should mention it to them when I have a follow up? Thanks x

Oh realy @TheOrangeMonster I've not really read up on anything about the results of blood tests so I can't really say much about your results. But like you say if you are having additional ones and the gp can then best advise you. Fingers crossed you can get something for it and it proves to be v effective :)

@bwfcchick88 difficult to know, sometimes you can get spotting for a few days before full flow. But would be worth mentioning when you go to see the Gp, Least it isn't too far away now.

I got my static yesterday morning, we DTD Saturday, and Sunday, then this morning OH couldn't perform annoyingly, so I may try this evening. But I'm presuming I will have ovulated either last night or today. Will see from my temp tomorrow I guess.
So annoying my OH still doesn't get that just one night of sex will work. Even though I've told him multiple times. Sick of like me having to instigate, would be nice because he knew, that he could just try as much as I am!

@Trying4one it wasn't me but that is such good news and really reassures me. I hope hope hope that the other results don't pick up any additional issues.
But if it's really that that's been stopping me from conceiving for 2 years and 8 months and it's just pills to fix it....😡😡😡
Mind you DH has yet to have his semen analysis and I bet there's going to be something going on there too!

@bwfcchick88 so I've heard that sometimes you can get a sort of "breakthrough" period without having ovulated - it happens when the old uterine lining just gets so old and crummy that it starts breaking down anyway.
But @Blossom428 is right, sometimes it can just be weird. I often have variation in cramping, sometimes horrible, sometimes mild, sometimes for one day, sometimes for three. I've never had a period that didn't start like Niagara Falls though so I can't help you with the spotting I'm afraid 😖

@TheOrangeMonster sorry. I had spoken to someone else about it and I didn't want to make a fool of myself 😂 I have had hyperprolactinemia since 17 due to a tumour on my pituitary gland. I have been on half the smallest dose once a week and it keeps my levels down. The medication is also used at higher doses as a fertility drug so can help with getting pregnant. Just have to come off the medication once pregnant

Thanks ladies it's bloody vile isn't it! I wish the stork really existed - would save all this pissing about! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 did you get a static?
I'm 1dpo now, offish in the 2WW yet again.
Did managed to dtd day of ovulation(yesterday) so I guess just have to wait and see now 🤞🏽🤞🏽

That meant to say didnt** god damn OH haha

@Blossom428 nope :( CD25 I'm so so over this month

Urghhh @AnxiousAnnie86 ... have you spoke to GP at all about late ovulation and irregular cycles?

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm really sorry about this late ovulation thing. I know how you feel. I feel over it too.
Having a day of feeling totally miserable and hopeless - faced with an ongoing struggle which in all likelihood wont end in pregnancy unless there's some kind of intervention, and Covid is delaying everything. They won't start a plan for us until my husband's results come back abs because of Covid there could be a 6 month waiting list for his analysis apparently, they couldn't tell us how long it would be before he could be seen.
I can't keep doing this!

So I couldn't hold out any more and took a cheapie this morning and it was negative. Something made me take a CB early detection this afternoon and I have got my BFP. Hoping it sticks 🤞

Congratulations @Trying4one you must be over the moon!!!🥳🥳🥳 lets hope it's a sticky one for you !🥰

Nothing to report over here ladies. If I ovulated when I think I did, I'm 10DPO today. AF due tomorrow & discharge went yellowy today & started to go light brown tonight, so looks like it's on it's way. Will actually be a relief as will be first proper AF after the loss.
Hope all you ladies are well xx

Eeeek congratulations @Trying4one !! Nice to have some happy news. Let's hope the little bean sticks 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Sorry to hear AF is on her way @Chlo2701 , but least things have gone back to normal right away and not messed up your cycle, which is a positive.

2dpo, I'm sat eating Brazil nuts and pineapple 😂🙈

@Trying4one congratulations!!!!!! How exciting for you!!!! Wishing you a healthy happy 9 months! Xx

Still nothing here, opks getting lighter so doesn't even looo like it's near, Cd28 I give up...x

Cd27 tomorrow even not 28

Do you think ovulation has skipped this cycle @AnxiousAnnie86 ? Has it ever been this late before? So sorry you are going through such irregular cycles! Really isn't fair!!

@Blossom428 I've had it range from 17-32 in the past 8 months, but never later then 25 in the four months I've been taking soy :( 28 today, I got w really dark opk this morn but still not positive on digital and one an hour later was much lighter, just gotta wait it out I guess... just seems like everyone gets twice as many chances as me :(

How are you getting on???? X

I've ordered some iron supplements as I'm tired a lot, and I don't eat meat so I'm wondering if an iron deficiency could be the issue, I've read that lacking in iron could cause delayed ovulation or no ovulation

Ohhh that's strange- I mean something must be happening to get the darker opks- start of Lh surge!
Yeah that's worth a try with the iron! Do you take the pregnacare vitamin or just separate folic acid and vit d?

I'm 4dpo today- not much to report, did get a big temp jump which is good as it didn't increase much over the last couple of day... but that doesn't mean a lot in terms of pregnancy rn anyways.
Trying not to think about it all tbf. I've got a few things on this weekend to keep me busy. Going to try not drink alcohol too as just don't want it to affect chances (although difficult as everyone is big drinkers that I'm meeting for tea 🙈) I'll just be the DD.

@Blossom428 I went out for food on Tuesday (before the BFP) and had a virgin passion fruit mojito and it was amazing. That may become my go to drink for the next 8 months 😂

@Blossom428 yeah hopefully it's just gearing up and it will come at some point, I was taking seven seas trying for a baby but stopped this month as heard it can delay ovulation, but maybe it's the other way for me! So may start them again!!!!

4dpo is good though! Means you can start symptom spotting in the next few days!!! Tbh I struggle with the hot drinking in TWW just as I've been through it so many times, but if I ovulate I'm not going to drink for it, although it's my birthday in a few weeks! Would love to find out I'm pregnant, or id even take ovulation lol!

Haha that sounds good @Trying4one .... have you got other symptoms, how are you feeling?

@AnxiousAnnie86 hmmm, I guess changing vitamins can have affect. Some said that the pregancare affected ovulation but I've not had issues with it.
Well that's it isn't it, and then there's been so many times in the past that I've passed on drinking and not even been pregnant that month, so then makes me think I could have had a good time and drank all along!
But then my friend she didn't even know she was pregnant and we went out on a big night out 🙈🙈 her baby is perfectly fine.
Difficult one, but I know if things did happen I'd feel guilty. I might just have one and then no more, and if I drive people wouldn't get suspicious haha.
Aww ... yes I hope you have some good news one way or another for your birthday! Shame that it seems everything is closing down again. Ruining everyone's birthdays and plans 😭😭

@Blossom428 I know!!! Honestly don't feel can do anything! Me and my husband were going to book a night away in the lakes or something but we don't want to book and then cancel or go somewhere abs it's like closing at 6pm!!! Might as well just be at home!!! X

@Blossom428 no other symptoms at the moment. Hoping that the nausea will stay well away from me for as long as possible. Taking another test this afternoon to see if I have any line progression 😂
