@lucyrp makes me so angry! They say the NHS is underfunded- so why are they wasting time and money like this. They are qualified nurses/doctors and can't label a blood tube properly!

lucyrp · 20/08/2020 11:29

@blodyn91 its ridiculous isn't it. I'm going to complain to the practice manager and another lady later as this was supposed to be done because of my 12 months TTC

Busybee143 · 20/08/2020 11:47

@lucyrp that is infuriating, sometimes I feel like you have to talk to doctors like they're stupid to get your point across, hopefully this will be a normal cycle for you.

@vil10 deffo not, hang in there!!

@katao I really hope they do, I feel like I really need this to work 3rd time round but I feel on edge and no idea how to calm myself down about it

Juno231 · 20/08/2020 12:08

@lucyrp omg like what they did to me!! and again sounds like they tried to make it sound as if they were never going to and that you're mad - when IT'S THE WHOLE REASON THE TEST WAS SET UP FFS. I still need to re-book mine that they messed up...

@vil10 totally onboard with you - I keep thinking my ex's wife is due in October and how pissed I'll be when those pics come up. Especially as they got married after us so I feel I should have reached that milestone first lol. I'm still miffed that my OH's ex had a baby in May 2019 cause again they got married after us but had the baby first lol.

@Busybee143 I'm so angry I haven't calmed down yet! 😂

@Juno231 literally WHAT WAS THE POINT that was the main reason I had it done ... to measure my progesterone to confirm ovulation ... I don't care about the other stuff !

Runnergirl1 · 20/08/2020 12:31

@lucyrp - hope you manage to get it sorted and they do something about it and get you in exactly when you need too

Looks like I’m out 11dpo and a big fat negative. And I think I’m starting to bleed. First af after my mmc so least my body is doing something, still abit disappointing though x

Vil10 · 20/08/2020 12:35

@lucyrp I feel so annoyed and angry for you too!! This is not fair on you!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you either get a BFP in these next few days or you start spotting!! You definitely need to complain, this isn't right for anyone's mental health let alone someone who's ttc!!

@Busybee143 Thankyou!!xx

@Juno231 yes that's the same here!!! She's only been with her boyfriend a year and just given birth which I have nothing against, when you know you, but it makes me angry that that's happened for her after being with him for 3 months, yet here we are, which I really shouldn't complain because my journey hasn't been long whatsoever, it just feels frustrating when you have situations like this!! That must be hard for you having your ex and your OH's ex with babies or due!! Absolute bitches😂😂

Ladybird345 · 20/08/2020 13:36

Hello, can I join? I am on cycle day 47, had what I thought was faint positives yesterday but then negatives today so no idea what that was about. I've also had some brown discharge since last night (only twice when I wiped, sorry for TMI). Slightly more complicated I'm also breastfeeding so AF is all over the place. I've ordered some ovulation strips and waiting for them to arrive to see if I am ovulating or what's happening. Other than that I am kinda in limbo 😒

Katao · 20/08/2020 14:49

@Runnergirl1 sorry about af but as you say hood that your cycle has kicked back in. Hugs.

Welcome @Ladybird345. Sounds like you might still get good news. If you don't know when you ovulated then maybe it's still too early to get a clear positive. Hold out a day or 2 and test again with first morning urine 🤞

SarahTTC2020 · 20/08/2020 16:04

Ah @lucyrp that is so infuriating! Literally the reason for booking the test, and then hey have the cheek to make it seem like it's your fault and that you're being crazy?! We're all mad with you here!

LV1987 · 20/08/2020 16:53

@Katao ahhh I see. I'm on my 7th cycle since coming off the pill, and I've had one which falls within that normal range at 34 days 🤦‍♀️ I'll definitely get onto the doctors next month - as you can tell, I have already resigned myself to the fact that there will be a next month. I swear, if I had nice normal cycles I would be pregnant by now, because we do all of our sex in the first week after AF and then get bored 😂🤷‍♀️

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/08/2020 17:02

@Vil10 erm I don't blame you! Glad you're over it now tho :) I'm ok thanks, pretty stressed with work as I'm off next week so trying to do a weeks worth of work in a few days 😬 how are you?
Thanks @Katao going for baby cuddles tomorrow! Mega excited, he's so scrumptious looking!
Hubby went for his SA today, he was allowed to produce there rather than carry his pot on the tube 😂 he said they had no magazine's cos of Covid and she apologised lol, imagine that as your job 😆 I'd never keep a straight face!
My day 21's all came back normal n got my day 3's tomorrow and my period is messing with me. Hasn't quite shown, just the tiniest amount of brown blood in my knickers so far, grrr

Florence13 · 20/08/2020 17:05

@lucyrp also mad with you hun! It’s so frustrating but feel that a lot of GPs just don’t get TTC.

Also sorry for not being on here had to have a bit of a break as felt so upset that AF arrived so early last cycle. Went on a bit of a downer but back in the game again. Sorry if I’ve missed lots need to read through all the messages.

Vil10 · 20/08/2020 17:22

@notyetamumbuttrying well I say I'm over it, I'm definitely not, but trying to trick myself into thinking I am😂 are you doing anything nice with your week off?? I'm good, I've just signed up to a 30 day challenge at my gym, hoping to lose a stone, the challenge finishes the day before we go to the greece (hopefully) so I'd love to lose the weight before then!! Glad your day 21 test came back normal!! Fingers crossed for your OH's too🤞🏼

So ladies I need help, not TTC related at all, we're decorating the bedroom, nothing fancy I just HATED the wallpaper we had on the back wall, and we can't agree on another paper so I'm just painting the back wall grey (warm pewter) just in case anyone has it😂 got new bedding, bedside tables, lamps, putting a shelf up on the side wall between the windows, tall vase in the corner of the room with pampas grass in, BUT I'm struggling to think what to put on the back wall above the bed, that's the wall I'm painting grey, I'm so shit at visualising so any help would be much appreciated❤️

lucyrp · 20/08/2020 18:40

@Vil10 @Florence13 @Runnergirl1 @SarahTTC2020
thanks girls for being mad with me!

Feeling super rubbish tonight after seeing yet another person on my Instagram with a pregnancy announcement 😭😭😭

Thank you. Ive been trying to read posts to see where everyone is up to in their TTC journeys and everyone seems lovely and very supportive.
I don't think I am pregnant, I think the faint lines yesterday were false as today's have been negatives but will keep trying until AF arrives.
Hope everyone gets their BFPs soon 🤞

Maybe333 · 20/08/2020 20:12

So I can't imagine a lot of you remember me.
I've been on this bus since Bus 1 right back in the early days... But by the time I got to bus 10 and no joy I got very disheartened and decided to take a wee mumsnet break. I kept following the next few 5 buses but never commented.. So super happy to see so many of you get your BFPs!
I just thought id pop on here and share my news :) the wee social media break did me the world of good and got my BFP this afternoon! I'm delighted (I cried) but trying not to get my hopes up for another few weeks yet as I've mc before and I'm just praying for a sticky bean!! 🤞
Ps. According to my app I'm 9dpo and this was a 4pm urine so I imagine I'm maybe further along as it's a good wee line ☺

OH better impregnate me good - August Bus 15
Vil10 · 20/08/2020 20:28

@Maybe333 amazing news!! Congratulations lovely!❤️

Vil10 · 20/08/2020 20:28

@lucyrp I feel ya, I have so many pregnant friends right now😩😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/08/2020 20:29

@Vil10 bless you I know that feeling all too well! The old brain trickery 😏
So we've literally just booked Portugal! We've been watching sky news all day in the hope that it came off the quarantine list as we'd heard the rumours! Means we get to spend our first wedding anniversary away now 🥳
Ooh go you girl! I need to do something similar but can't seem to find the motivation no matter where I look 😂
I should have day 3's tomorrow but periods not started yet 🤔 I did a FRER yesterday which was bfn so where's my period? I hope I don't get a @lucyrp cycle 😫
@Maybe333 I remember you!! Many congratulations lovely! I'm taking a break next week as I'll be on hol, hopefully it does me good too! Xx

lucyrp · 20/08/2020 20:31

@Maybe333 I remember you! Congratulations lovely ❣️❣️❣️

Katao · 20/08/2020 21:10

@Maybe333 plenty of us originals still here to remember you (unfortunately!) Aw that's great news! Congratulations, glad you popped back to share the good news. There is a summer grads thread you would probably know plenty on. Lovely line, fingers crossed for a sticky bean 🥰

Busybee143 · 20/08/2020 21:30

@vil10 we have warm pewter too 😂 good choice! Can't go wrong with greys.
@Maybe333 massive congrats ❤️

Maybe333 · 20/08/2020 21:54

Thanks guys! I'm a little apprehensive to join a graduates thread as I'm a little superstitious and don't want to jinx it.. But will definitely have a nosey, thanks for letting me know! ☺

Maybe333 · 20/08/2020 22:06

Oh also, I'm not sure this is an exact science, but this month was my first month trying convieve plus internal lubricant... I was sceptical but now I'm pleasantly surprised! Only 3 applications around my peak days ☺
