No @Franklydear bfn this morning and nothing else to report

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/09/2020 10:31

@Vil10 you have to wear a mask so you'll be all good.

@Katao sorry about the bfn my love! What cycle are you on now?
@lucyrp aww good to hear! You might get your peak tonight, so get dtd later!

Minster2012 · 20/09/2020 10:37

Ahhh sorry @Vil10 I missed that about af all systems go to get rid of cold then for Tuesday is it??

@Franklydear sounds like a plan, wait it out and I like an understated birthday too and DEF a decent steak, even if mine moos and yours doesn't 😂

@Katao sorry on your bfn are you doing a more relaxed approach?

And it sounds good for ovulation @lucyrp

I'm having a lovely time now I feel better, thank you, very chilled which is what we wanted, watched a film last night, Chinese big breakfast this morning then we are heading out on long dog walk before a late Sunday lunch later then hot tub tonight 🥰

Minster2012 · 20/09/2020 10:38

Just been joined by these beauties on our walk

@notyetamumbuttrying this is cycle 7
@Minster2012 I wish it was a relaxed approach 😂 just the clueless approach! Opks just didn't make any sense so I don't know where I am!

DKDK123 · 20/09/2020 10:48

@Minster2012 please remember to take your life saving steroids, they're kinda important! 😂 Glad you're ok now tho.

Aww @lucyrp that sounds like a sweet night 🥰

Thats us back home to reality now. It was lovely seeing DS having such a fun time but now I feel like I need another few days away to recover from those days away, a break with a toddler is definitely not a relaxing break for sure! Feeling quite mood swingy so think AF is on her way some point this week, might wait till she arrives and work out when my next FW will be and book a few nights away just for us two to relax while DS gets sent to granny's house. It'll also soften the blow of AF arriving.

Juno231 · 20/09/2020 10:49

@Franklydear which day did you say I should put you down for testing again? I'm planning ahead for the next thread :)

Def 2DPO here I think, my temp rise has been very over the top this time lol.

@lucyrp I can't say for sure as everyone is different but covers/open windows don't seem to affect my temps at all 🤷‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying hopefully although I'm not too hopeful for a peak after my last few months!

@DKDK123 it was lush, had a yummy tea too 🥰

@Juno231 these are my temps so far jow and I always temp at 6 o clock in the morning ...

Disclaimer: Psycho B*tches - Sep Bus 16
Katao · 20/09/2020 11:15

@Juno231 I don't temp but getting vaguely familiar with charts from seeing them on here and that is a lovely bit of distinction there! P.S. pop me on the back seat of the bus again 🤦‍♀️🙄😂 hopefully will have blood tests results tomorrow so that's at leadt something

Juno231 · 20/09/2020 11:16

@lucyrp I think the fact it's going down is a good sign! Fingers crossed for a normal cycle for you for once! What's the latest on the gp complaint btw?

OP posts:
Juno231 · 20/09/2020 11:28

@katao thanks! Today's temp is even off the chart today but I hope FF will adjust the size of the chart tomorrow. I'm sorry to hear you're at the back of the bus again :(

Ladies whose OH's had SA done - how did that work? My GP told me to set up an online consultation for OH and off the back of that he'd get a GP app. Except he did that on Mon and you're supposed to hear back within 24 h so he chased on Thurs only for them to say there's no GP app, there's a parcel and form in the post for him instead. Haven't received anything though so I'll make him ring them again on Monday if we still haven't received it. Just a bit of a palaver considering we're moving away in like 10 days...

OP posts:
notyetamumbuttrying · 20/09/2020 11:36

@Katao do you have pcos? Only asking as opk's don't work if you have that. False highs.
@lucyrp true but also more reason to get one this time around 🤞🏾
@Juno231 my Dh had to make an apt and go collect a form from the gp and follow the instructions on there. He basically had to call the hospital and book in. Abstain for 3-5 days and it's got to be there within an hour, although mine was able to do it at the hospital as the dr gave him the wrong pot! Yours does sound like a palaver, hopefully the chaser will get things moving!

fashu · 20/09/2020 11:49

Hey all, sorry I haven't been keeping up this month. Was feeling really down that should my due date was this month and I still wasn't pregnant :( I was due on 28th September.
Last month AF seemed to start on 3rd august and didnt end until 26th August! Got my opks on 31st august, they were always positive so kind of gave up on 14th September and even gave up DTD, thought it would never happen for me.
Took my wondfo this morning, being do them for a while since I have no idea where I am in my cycle and there was a wisp of a line. 30 mins later couldn't resist using the frer and this is it. Feeling cautiously optimistic that it would be unusual to get false positives on 2 different brands.....its stronger irl than the pic

lucyrp · 20/09/2020 11:51

@Juno231 I'm hoping I'm near ovulation as for a normal cycle today or tomorrow would be ov do you think its looking good in thag regard ? Well nog one but 3 people rang me back from the surgery on Tuesday I think it was, the first one was my doctor apologising and sayinf not to worry etc and that after my next 21 day bloods she'd refer me and OH to the fertility clinic, second call was the nurse apologising for the misunderstanding and booking me in for my next bloods, then my last call was from the practise manager apologising also and trying to hook me in for my next bloods and then I explained someone had already called and booked me in ans she said "oh sorry we're very unorganised here aren't we" yes that's why I complained in the first place ....

DKDK123 · 20/09/2020 12:20

That was one hell of a long AF @fashu, a normal AF is bad enough that must have felt like the month from hell! Hopefully this is your bit of joy coming to make up for it, I can see a faint line congratulations 🥳

fashu · 20/09/2020 12:34

@DKDK123 yep, thought it would never ever end! The day it stopped I was literally shocked, went to the bathroom every half an hour to make sure it had stopped, kept doing that for about a week! Feeling now that it might have been my body resetting itself. Bittersweet finding out when I technically should have been having a baby! Ordered some digis from Amazon and going to use that someday next week, I doubt it will be positive just yet. Honestly been sitting around all day in shock.

Katao · 20/09/2020 12:38

@notyetamumbuttrying not that I know of but I'm definitely suspicious of pcos, we'll see what the bloods say.
@fashu congratulations and good luck. Definitely bitter sweet but hopefully makes it easier get through the due date x
@mumof23188 how are you doing?

notyetamumbuttrying · 20/09/2020 12:58

@fashu I can see a faint line, best of luck with everything!
@Katao when are you getting bloods back? I should get day 3's back Tuesday/weds. Then it's referral time for us 😬

Katao · 20/09/2020 13:27

@notyetamumbuttrying hopefully tomorrow, that's when I was told to ring

Minster2012 · 20/09/2020 13:34

@DKDK123 yes consider me wrapped on the knuckles 😬I will look after myself, I now have 7 alarms on my phone for tablets. 7 FFS 😳and have to carry water & nibbles 🤗😂that's my excuse, def book yourself a FW break without toddler, I can recommend having a hot tub too

@fashu congrats I hope it's a smooth ride herein

@Juno231 put me down for never testing but keeping the back of the bus rocking 💃🏼👯‍♀️

Halloween was my due date 👻🎃 I really hope I do get to test before then again but I don't think there's much hope. I also said to DH last night that last nov was when I started the IVF meds for the last round & really hope we don't get to a year of being on meds/BFP/miscarriage/waiting/on meds again 🥴as the medication is horrible let alone the time & emotional /financial drain it is

Minster2012 · 20/09/2020 13:35

And yes @2alreadywantanother how are you lovely 😘

2alreadywantanother · 20/09/2020 13:45

@minster2012 I'm doing okay thank you.
I had a toothache and had work done on ut 2 wks ago. And this 2 days I have been having some pain. Now thing I've a gum infection as my gums are swollen and I'm annoyed as I have a feeling that could have been the issue.
DH brought up trying again when I'm ready which I'm happy about as I was afraid this would completely put him off. But I feel so guilty thinking about it already when I'm still carrying this 1.
And now I'm crying 😭😭 why is life so cruel. My heart really goes out too those that have gone through it. It's the worst thing to go through. But I'll get there. Just want it over now but cherishing it even tho I know it's gone 😥
I'm completely heartbroken 💔

Juno231 · 20/09/2020 13:54

@minster2012 you may be at the back of the bus but you're still the 🌟 of the bus! I'm sorry you're coming up to that November deadline :(. I keep thinking that if I was one of those fertile unicorns I'd have delivered a baby this month... Doesn't help that my ex is having his baby next month already and one of my close friends is due in Nov. Next few months will be tough.

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you for telling me what it was like for your OH! Any word on how long you'd have to wait for your fertility clinic appointment btw? Hope it doesn't take too long xx

@2alreadywantanother ah I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad both you and OH want to get back on the TTC horse though and I got all my fingers and toes crossed that your extra fertile now and get your BFP quickly 🤞

@lucyrp ah yes I did read that, I guess I was hoping there would be more repercussions to them after that! Am glad they've stopped fobbing you off though and that you can get seen by a fertility clinic soon hopefully.

OP posts:
2alreadywantanother · 20/09/2020 13:57

Thanks @juno231 I'm really hoping the same. We got pregnant on 2nd cycle so fingers and toes crossed it happens as quick again.

Katao · 20/09/2020 14:11

Oh god you are right @Minster2012, I tagged the wrong person. Sorry @mumof23188. I always get those names mixed up
@2alreadywantanother thinking of you.
