@MichT4 I 100% think your mindset shifted slightly this cycle. You have been so positive and accepting that this is out of your control somewhat and I guarantee that has helped you ten fold. Also the puppy!lol take this as a little mini celebration. I'm sure you don't want to scream from the rooftops yet but do feel positive and enjoy it 😊😊😊

Also thanks for sharing what you've done. Do you take COQ-10 from CD1? I'm waiting for my appointment for IVF now but want to keep up momentum in the meantime just in case. Also, did you use a menstrual cup? That's the only thing I haven't tried yet x

fafi · 13/08/2020 18:25

@MichT4 OMG! I have just caught up with all the posts since this morning! What a day! I am so excited, I can't wait to wake up in the morning and check in on you! Such brilliant news that your doctor went that extra mile too.

@Pugprincess Happy anniversary! Enjoy.

I've got my booking appointment tomorrow and then my private scan on Monday! I can't wait until Monday and hopefully see a healthy little bean all tucked away. I'm 8 weeks tomorrow so praying for a heartbeat on Monday! Eeeee.

Pugprincess · 13/08/2020 18:27

Thank you @fafi, have you had any other scans with this pregnancy yet? And what is a booking appointment lol sorry x

fafi · 13/08/2020 18:28

@Pugprincess no this is my first scan. Booking appointment is your first appointment with your midwife, usually booked for 8 weeks x

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 18:38

@chloedancer897 both me and OH take Coq-10 every day throughout. Meant to be good for egg and sperm quality. He also takes Wellman conception and Vit D.
No I've never used the cup. Prior to this cycle I was paranoid about sperm falling out 😂 but I didn't even give it a thought this time.

I'm caveating everything with IF this is my month. Not counting my chickens yet!

@fafi thank you! Just hope it's there tomorrow too on the CB 🤞🏼 I'm so surprised about the doctor, it's such a reassuring thing. Even if they say no, they've checked everything first. I'm impressed.

Ooh how exciting, lots of appointments coming up!! How are you feeling? xx

chloedancer897 · 13/08/2020 18:41

@MichT4 I'm quietly confident for you xo

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 19:03

Thank you @chloedancer897 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 19:08

@VP91x how are the birthday celebrations? Is is Saturday you get your pup? xx

fafi · 13/08/2020 19:09

@MichT4 I am good thank you, still much more relaxed than I expected to be but everything does feel different this time around and I am 2 & 3 weeks past previous losses now so that's a landmark in itself.

Going camping tomorrow for the weekend too so that will help distract me until Monday. Can't wait, I really need the change of scenery. I'm still working from home so it really does feel like groundhog day now!

scrambledeggy · 13/08/2020 19:09

Did I say I was in a great mood this morning? Well I was, but now all that cheesecake and PMS has taken its toll and I'm now spotty, tired, and on the verge of tears. Oh and of course my BLOODY BOOBS STILL HURT 😭 Reading back through everyone's good news to make myself feel better, thank you for all being so lovely all the time.

HappyVibes · 13/08/2020 19:14

@scrambledeggy bless you! Least you’ve had cheesecake! I’m at the gym melting. Ha. Treat yourself to a lovely bath and a chill night watching crap TV or read a book with a face mask? Then get back to feeling good again tomorrow morning. We are in this cycle together aren’t we now heheheh? Xxxx

VP91x · 13/08/2020 19:17

@MichT4 I am going to have a quick vent then resume normal service, but quiet frankly my OH has been a bit of a dick all day. Like subtly ungrateful for everything? Bella also hasn't helped, got her early from nursery and she just was in a naughty mood - stood on our sofa and done a poo on it,tipped loads of water out of the pool etc. Now she is being difficult to go to sleep. Also I'm stopping opks now felt like chucking them out of the window xx

scrambledeggy · 13/08/2020 19:18

Thank you @HappyVibes, haven't had a bath in ages, that sounds like such a good idea! And crap TV! Might go for a run tomorrow to try and jump start AF so I can join your cool cycle club 😎 good on you for persevering through a workout in this heat!

SmileyT · 13/08/2020 19:20

@VP91x @MichT4 @MrsK21 I'd actually love an Ikea/city dinner meet up, it's weird I feel like I'm probably more open and honest here than I am anywhere else so I don't think it could be awkward at all x

@Firevie I'm a massive data geek so having my info in 9 apps is the only thing that had me feeling I had any control over anything, so anyone needs tips on apps, or opks or bbt im your gal 🙈 also I love your positive attitude x

@BEESY90 I'm honestly sending you so much love, I feel like pregnancy is so emotional anyway without all this going on for you but definitely reach out to those closest and I'm sure they will be supportive. Also financially definitely don't let this guy get away with leaving you with all the rent, there are loads of great resources out there ti support you x

@MichT4 ooh I've gone through a rollercoaster of emotions catching up on you today - positive opk (I've never seen somebody actually have a peak pre AF) that last test definitely looks positive to me - and temps rising alongside it 🤞 Dr sounds super helpful aswell x

@Lollol86 great line progression lovely. Yeah I'm still taking calc flour but I've nearly run out, I was taking like 4/5 a day but now I'm just taking one as I've only got about 10 left and not going to buy me anymore. Also I joined a March 2021 thread and I didn't like it at all, nobody replied to eachother was just kinda a list of pregnancy symptoms 🙈

@HE88 loving the will power of holding off until Sunday, really hoping the line develops into a BFP for you xx

@MrsK21 I'd definitely not be missing out on FW, maybe shorter trip so you don't miss all the days, but don't cancel the trip in case FW moves slightly x

@VP91x don't give up on the opks I think it will be interesting to see what they look like throughout the cycle, I think I tested everyday I wasn't on my period for like 4 months 😂 Happy Birthday to OH btw hope he enjoyed his cake 🥳 (now taking this back as he is being a dick) maybe a glass of wine to take the edge of the day? xxxx

@Pugprincess Happy Anniversary lovely... double celebrations x

@1990EM yay to a successful 12week scan ☺️🥳

@fafi good luck with your booking appt and scan I'm sure all will be good, how are you feeling? x

@scrambledeggy ahh definitely get another cheesecake out the fridge and maybe a nice bath? x

I always promise myself I won't reply to everything but I can't help myself 🙈 got home late tonight as had another panic scan, really hoping I get hold of myself if I make it to 12weeks. But I'm officially past my last loss at 8w so I'm taking today as win 🥰

HappyVibes · 13/08/2020 19:21

@scrambledeggy no way! Ignore my previous message! I don’t want you to be in my club girl (no offence lols). I completely can’t keep up and get mixed up where everyone is up to! So you still haven’t got your AF? What’s your plan testing wise etc? Omg I feel such a fool hahaha, sorry girl! Xx

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 19:21

@VP91x oh no! Why is he being ungrateful? What's he said/done? Stuff like that really winds me up so I'm not surprised you're pissed off.
And naughty Bella! What a day to be a madam!
Did you get your blood results back?

@fafi it sounds like you're feeling really positive and relaxed which is great! Do you have many symptoms?
Camping sounds fun! And definitely a great distraction - enjoy lovely!

@scrambledeggy sorry you're feeling low. Cheesecake has to have helped a little? I'm watching MAFSA, I've abandoned the packing half way through, waiting for a food delivery and just feeling like a slob!

xx

fafi · 13/08/2020 19:23

@VP91x Bloody hell you're allowed to have a vent! Oh I can't wait for the days my future child shits on the sofa and starts acting up - remind me again why we do this 😂 I hope you can just go chill somewhere when she finally goes down x

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 19:25

@SmileyT firstly, emergency scan?? What happened? Are you ok?

I agree about a meet up, I think it would be a lovely thing to arrange! We'd have to all wear something to identify ourselves, maybe an OPK 😂

Yeah it's been a weird old day! Just hope all this means something. Of course my itchy pits have subsided but I did put some strong cream on them because they were unbearable. Hoping it's not a bad sign they've gone 🙄. Will just be keeping fingers crossed for the morning 🤞🏼 xx

chloedancer897 · 13/08/2020 19:26

COQ10 question. Which one do I get? 100mg or 200mg? Brand recommendations? X

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 19:27

I might not wear Ava tonight. I don't know if I want to know my temp. If it drops and it is a positive, I'll panic. What do you all think? xx

fafi · 13/08/2020 19:28

@SmileyT thank you, feeling quite chill actually!

@MichT4 Thanks! I have sore boobs, occasional stabbing pain in the vag and occasional nausea if I let myself get too hungry. Coming off pretty lucky so far 🤞 I hope you have a lovely trip too!x

fafi · 13/08/2020 19:29

@MichT4 Yes, Ava off! You're right! It's good you know how you'll respond.

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 19:29

@chloedancer897 we use these, they are 300mg 👀👀
