Figured I'm not ready to let you ladies go ☺️

@paintfairy ha you'd think so - but then again how hard can it be to be tested for chlamydia! Btw we never got an subsequent info on how to prepare for the SA, so I think I have some googling to do cause god knows OH won't care to look it up...

6DPO and had my temp dip today. I'm just impatient at this stage and want AF to show so I don't have to wait for it lol. It's due next Wednesday according to FF so let's see!

@Juno231 They rang me this morning to say I can collect it. Only problem is we dtd before that call, so I can't exactly do it now? 🤣 Have to be tomorrow I guess. Here's hoping for no spotting.

CD 12 for me. I'm not tracking though. But my nipples have been sore? Started night before last maybe? Which is unusual, as if I get stuff like that, its well into my LP.

And I get impatient with AF. If you are coming then crack on. 😆 No point messing about. Although its a bit early for a temp drop for that isn't it?

@paintfairy haha I'm just jealous of your DTD efforts! Would you be able to just collect it tomorrow?

That's weird about your nipples - are you maybe noticing it because you're not tracking and therefore paying attention to secondary signs?

My dip is due to a secondary oestrogen surge, nothing AF related :)

@Juno231 🤣 I'm lucky that dtd didn't even have to be scheduled this month.

No it definitely doesn't normally happen now. I usually suffer with issues to some degree in my LP but after day 20 mostly. Whilst I was taking the soya I noticed I didn't get any boob issues at all. Last month I didn't, which I thought was strange but odd months I don't. And it was the first month off the soya. But its definitely early for me.

Well - I'm still struggling with boobs.

And I went to pick swab kit up. No instructions and it's different to last time? So what am I meant to do with it? 🙈
Last time it was a long swab and you just put it in the container. This time it's a separate swab and a small container with liquid in? Answers on a postcard......

@paintfairy I think you still do the same thing, the liquid just preserves the sample? But yet again it's rubbish they didn't say what to do with it...

Temp flew back up today to 36.77. Have had AF type cramps on and off today - can't tell if it's food related or hormone related. I never had cramps in the TWW normally so probably food!

@Juno231 I'm wondering if they gave me the wrong one before and that was the issue all along? 🙄🤣

And cramps could be a good sign?

@paintfairy I mean I wouldn't put it past them at this point! Cramps are probably yet another symptom to make me think I'm crazy. OH has his SA on Tuesday and that's all I can think about now.

@paintfairy I had the separate swab and fluid filled container. Just pop the swab into fluid filled container once done 😊

@MimiArm my confusion was the swab was bigger than the container. Lol. But I'm guessing this is what should have been done last time. 🙄

@Juno231 I found our SA uneventful. Even with the mad drive to get there. 🤣 But I was a bit anxious about the result. However that wasn't even that exciting. I feel with a lot of this stuff most people probably never get a definitive answer? I want a clear issue with a flashing light!

@paintfairy ha speaking of which - OH got a call yesterday from the clinic to say he can't produce a sample at the hospital anymore due to covid and will have to bring it in within an hour of producing it. Problem is it's a 9.30 appointment in the city so he's now worried he's going to have to do it at work lol!!

Yes big flashing light please!

@MimiArm When is the wedding again? I'm so sorry about how messy covid has made it all. The one thing I will say is that I regret our big wedding and the money we spent on it lol so keeping it small is not all bad!

@Juno231 yes the room was closed at ours too. But at least we were going from home. And it was just about close enough we didn't need to do it in the car. 🤣 However - I did point out the hospital toilets must be open and so if needed he could have done that. I can't see the difference between that and a cleaned room to be honest? People just can't be bothered and this covid excuse is wearing thin.

How many people did you have to your wedding?

I enjoyed ours but it wasn't huge. However, a year on and I'm thinking what all that money could have gone on. Because you realise that bar a couple of people no one actually gives a toss. Not one member of OHs family sent us an anniversary card or even a message? No acknowledgement at all. The bonkers thing was- i wanted to go abroad and he was the one that wanted family there. Yet they don't give a toss. Mine luckily do and even contributed, which was why I was sad my dad didn't make it. I think mum was secretly pleased we had it here but she was supportive of us going abroad. Would have saved a whole lot of hassle and cash, I'll tell you. 🤣

I think @MimiArm has hers first week in November ish? Getting near now! I hope you have a lovely day, however you are doing it now. Need something good this year!

@paintfairy we had 120 people I think. London based though so that adds to the cost. I don't like being the centre of attention like that and was just worried about the guests not liking things or judging etc. My parents and grandmother made my day rather difficult too (eg showing up 20 min late to the ceremony??). I also feel guilty every time I think back at it for feeling like I didn't give everyone proper attention that day.

It was pretty much OHs day though - most of the guests were his and that's why it ended up being the size it was. In hindsight I should have pushed for a much more relaxed affair. Second wedding will def just be city hall and a boozy bbq!

@Juno231 I don't think I was too worried about them judging but it was there slightly. And you barely get time to speak to anyone! I think that's normal. I actually remember feeling annoyed that I never spent any time with my OH! (Aside from being dragged about by the photographer). I was a little upset by the end of the day that he made no time for me. He doesn't see some of his family much and I knew they'd take over. So I regret we didn't take 10 minutes out to be together.
I don't usually like attention but it was small and so bearable.

Why were they late?! Yes that's not good. Ours did turn up on time but his mother decided to delay the speeches by vanishing for a fag and a toilet break whilst everyone was sat waiting. 🙄

@Juno231 @paintfairy @MrsTwentyEight

So our wedding is on 4 November so less than two weeks away. I'm much calmer this week - last week I was a total mess.

Also, CD14 now and has scan last night at private clinic. Good news ladies - there was a 17mm follicle ready to pop! So, specialist said he was really happy that I've responded to the Clomid and he expects ovulation to happen any day now. FINALLY!

He also gave me prescription for 5 more months of Clomid and said I don't need anymore scans since he knows I respond to it just fine. Here's hoping!

@MimiArm That's great news! Fingers crossed it'll do it for you and you won't need to go further! That would be amazing.
Eek, not long now. I think once things are sorted you can worry less. And just enjoy it.

I dropped my chlamydia thing off this morning at the Dr. So hopefully that's sorted now. 🙄 Been spotting a bit this afternoon. AF due on the day of your wedding! 🤣

@paintfairy haha, my AF is also due on my wedding day 🙈🙈🙈😩

That's good you've dropped the test off so another box ticked.

oh wow @MimiArm that's fantastic news. I'm hoping AF never shows next month! Would be amazing if IVF wasn't needed if this is working for you.

@MimiArm I really hope AF doesn't show and you get the best wedding present!

CD14 here ...DTD every other day is the plan until AF shows next month (well or doesn't but so tired of saying that )

Hope you're all keeping well!

13dpo today, waiting for AF to show. Maybe tomorrow?

@Juno231

Tested yet or have you been good ?? Here's hoping this is the month 🤞🏽

@MrsTwentyEight tested yesterday and it was a BFN. So I'm just waiting for cycle 11 to show really 🤷‍♀️

OH has his SA today though! With old swimmers though😅

Well RHR and temp both stayed high yet I just got AF at past 5pm! What an odd time and how rude to have no forewarning.

CD1, cycle 11 reporting in.

@Juno231 I'm so sorry to hear 😕 My AF does weird shit like that too!! So bloody rude. Let cycle 11 be the one. 💪🏽💪🏽 Remember we can still make the xmas announcement dream happen :)
