Conception: TTC Baby no1. The crazy lot. Thread 3!!!

[butterfly5291]

Starting a new thread...

@Crayon7 have you been to your GP? Sorry if you've mentioned before, I can get quite lost on here 😂

@Stabal a lot of us on here so don't worry. I am the same sometimes 😐

I have seen GP last month but all takes time. Had bloods done once need to repeat, but because I was away need to wait and also timing of the cycle is not always right and so it goes. Same with swabs always seem to be bad timing of the month when I can get appt🙄oh well

Had basic scan done so that's good waiting for gp to approve hubby moving GP practice and do his sperm test and all takes time 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was told to wait to come in and I had while when I was chilled out about it so didn't go to GP earlier. Personally I have my phases when I am so hyped over the topic and want BFP now and then I am like I am not sure this is what I want as it scares me a lot in a way tbh. I guess time will tell!

@Stabal I just don't want people to think I have covid when I get this cough every year!
I'd say definitely right move to discard that temp. What was it today?

Covid strikes again! We've just cancelled our wedding in December 😭

@Crayon7 that's great you're on your way to getting through the system, sometimes the hardest part is getting the ball rolling. I really hope you can get some answers 🤞 as for the flipping of emotions with conceiving, we spent 2 years trying and when I seen that positive test my first initial reaction was utter fear rather than happiness. I was scared I was going to be a shit mother, scared I didn't actually want to be one deep down, scared about money.. Everything! So your emotions are completely normal and justified. I sometimes feel guilty now about how I felt like it had something to do with the miscarriage but I know that's nonsense.. Still doesn't stop your brain going into overdrive though.

@butterfly5291 I'm the same since I work in a high school I get sick around this time every year and now I'm terrified to cough or sneeze! My temp is at 36.19 and was 36.09 yesterday. I've ran out of OPKs.. Thought I had 5 left but turns out they're pregnancy tests. So I guess I'll just DTD until I see 3 temp rises lol. Omg I'm so sorry you've had to cancel 😔 have you rebooked for next year or are you going to wait and see how things go?

@Stabal I'm waiting for all the suppliers to email back with availability but it's looking difficult to align already with the ones that have come back. Then factor in I don't know when I'll get pregnant and if that will influence the plans again. Literally a nightmare.
Gutted you've ran out of OPKs but just keep DTD and fingers crossed. How's your sister?

Still no peak reading on fertility monitor or OPKs but a jump in temp this morning.... although I don't know if that's because I'm not feeling very well? Think this month is a right off. My pattern is aligned with last month though.

Thanks @Stabal for saying this i was feeling guilty of having those feelings to be honest. ❤️

@butterfly5291 oh god that's so annoying with the wedding plans 😔 I hope you can get it sorted! Your chart looks good to me especially as it's following a pattern, mine is always different each month 😂 could be the illness throwing the temps or OPKs off so I guess you're in the same boat as me, just BDing and praying haha. My sister is still in a lot of pain even though she's been on strong antibiotics for a week now, had bloods redone today and if her inflammatory markers are still high she'll be admitted back into hospital so just a waiting game to see what they come back as

@Crayon7 don't feel guilty, this is a huge life change and it's completely natural to have ups and downs. I also think when you've been trying for so long I think you build a defense mechanism sometimes and tell yourself it's fine I didn't really want this.. But you do. I also find myself being really distant sometimes to babies/kids in my presence like OH's 4 y/o niece and people must think I'm so rude and don't like children and then to find out we're TTC must confuse them so much but it's just how I've come to deal with it all

@Stabal I know...it sucks but we've picked a new date...12th February 2022! So I'm hoping we'll have a baby flower girl....just need to get pregnant in the next three cycles now so I have a chance of looking normal again.
Still low reading on opk...argh!
@LT103 how are you getting on?

@butterfly5291 so sorry to hear about your wedding! 😩 it’s such a nightmare! we had to postpone our big ‘wedding day’ until Oct 21, but still doing our legal bit in registry office in 2 weeks time. Had a similar issue with worries about ttc and planning the wedding around it, but we’ve decided to just focus on baby making for now and if I get pregnant at the ‘wrong’ time we’ll just have to move the wedding date again or have a bump on my big day! 😊

Oh no @butterfly5291 sorry to hear about the wedding!!

Not great here. Cd18, tons of ewcm and a high opk so reckon I’ll get my peak tomorrow. OH is so stressed out with exam stuff that I don’t see this month happening. I was hoping not to ovulate til the weekend haha. Will see what happens next day or 2

@crazycatlady1981 thanks... sorry you're in the same position. We're actually getting legally married in three weeks too originally as a formality now we're making it as big as we can now. Quite excited really.
@LT103 that's good you got a high an EWCM...can you not de stress him? 😂 Have you DTD last day?

Isn't it funny how a lot of us are getting married soon 😂 love how we're all in the same life boat, 1st baby and marriage haha

@butterfly5291 we dtd a couple of days ago so I’m sure still ok. We did yest too but he couldn’t finish which only ever happens if he’s stressed out.
Not sure what is happening here cos I’ve not done opk every day but had tiny spot blood in cm today which I usually get at ovulation and had a temp rise of 0.4 but I didn’t get my peak opk (could easily have missed it) so I’ll keep temping and see

How are things going with everyone else. With holidays and back to work, I’ve barely been on here

@butterfly5291 yes I’m getting quite excited about it too! I wasn’t bothered about it originally, but this year with all the postponing of everything, it seems more significant now! 😊 Even though we’re only allowed 2 people attending because of the room size, I feel like it will be a bit more personal and most people don’t even know we’re doing it this year! Bought a different (much cheaper) dress for my legal ceremony and going to try and arrange a picnic lunch with our 2 friends afterwards (if Covid restrictions don’t change in 2 weeks!)🤞🏻
@Stabal yes its lovely that we’re all in a similar situation! 😊 lets hope we all get our dream weddings and babies in the next year!!

@LT103 sounds like it could be ovulation with a temp rise of 0.4. I sometimes miss my peak opk as it seems to all happen really quickly if I’m not on it.
We’re trying to relax a bit more this month as we’ve been doing smep for the last couple of months and oh was really feeling the pressure with performing so much and it was becoming a chore rather than a pleasure!!
I’m cd 11, on flashing smileys at the moment, but generally due to ovulate tomorrow or Saturday probably.

@crazycatlady1981 ok so got a peak this morning. Maybe missed one last night, I got a high in afternoon but didn’t check again. I’ll say ovulation today/poss tomorrow and bring on the 2ww 🙄😂
Oh is off work today and I finish at lunchtime so will see if we can try for one more time

Looks like I am only one after wedding 🤔🤣 5 years gone, time flies.

Hope you all get your dream weddings soon!

Hey everyone,
So sorry to hear about rescheduling of wedding plans, must be so stressful having to try and rebook all your suppliers for another date. We got married in February just before covid all kicked off, feel so lucky we got it in and our wedding was actually the last big night out most of our friends and family have had. Was a fantastic day and I'm sure all of you who are planning will have a great day when it comes. And how lovely to still be doing the legal bit so soon.

I'm CD22 today and 11DPO as I ovulated so early this month. Done a test this morning and as expected BFN. AF due sat/sun and just want it to arrive this month ready so I can phone up and try get HSG scan booked for this cycle. Have a feeling I won't be so lucky as to be able to get an appointment that quickly though.

Hope everyone is getting on ok.

@LT103 yay for peak! The timings are never when we want them are they 🙄

@Mia1985x as far as I'm aware they're usually pretty good with getting a scan ASAP as obviously it works on your cycle so has to be very "there and then" so 🤞 for you that you get it sorted!

I've absolutely no idea what's going on with me. I'm annoyed I allowed myself to run out of OPKs and therefore haven't tested since I got a high reading the other day as I'm now CD23 and temp is still low so I'm now late for ovulation after thinking I was going to be early! Probably my own doing adding stress to myself

@Stabal i am on cd21 and still waiting on peak too so we may be testing together🤞🏻

@Crayon7 I didn't bother ordering more OPKs when I realised I was out because I was sure I was going to ovulate in 2 days 🙄 I have some coming tomorrow so we'll see how they look. So annoying. A few of us testing the same time again, that makes me happy because even if I get a BFN maybe someone else will get their BFP and that'll be some joy in the shit storm haha

@LT103 glad you got your peak.. don't they say your temp increases the day after so you prob ovulated yesterday and you caught the tail end on opk? DTD today anyway if you can.

@crazycatlady1981 I'm wearing my real dress and another one for going for meal. Hope you have a lovely day....what day is it so we can wish you luck?

@Mia1985x really hope you get a bfp or your tests sorted!

@Stabal so frustrating for you! I'm not quite there but still very confused. So temp went from 36.44 to 36.5 this morning, and I feel better from my cough. Still no peak on fertility monitor or dark line on OPK.
I only have one fertility monitor stick left. Do I assume I have ovulated on Tues despite no peak? Can that happen? Also my boobs aren't even slightly tender. Just want to know whether to continue DTD every day and using OPKs?

@butterfly5291 it's not uncommon to ovulate with no peak for people with PCOS but I'm really not sure about normally! I guess the only way to know is if your temp stays around where it is unfortunately. It's all so frustrating!
