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

[butterfly5291]

Starting a new thread...

That’s exciting @Stabal. At least things are moving along now!!

@Mia1985x yeah when I spoke to my GP she seemed to think they'll want to check I've ovulated so I think they'll have me in after that so it could be near Christmas before I'm seen! Crazy! I really hate having a long cycle and not sure who I contact to ask about advice on how to try and shorten it. I've cracked and had a wine too 🥂

@LT103 thank goodness! I know March is barely any time away now but the thought of waiting until then was sending me loopy!

@Stabal good for you having a wine. We all need to relax on a Saturday night. Ah that is crazy that it could still be Christmas until your scan just with cycle lengths etc. Have they advised you no sex after next AF then? My consultant said not even to have protected sex or they wouldn't be able to do hycosy on the day.

I've been listening to a really good fertility podcast recently and although I'm enjoying it after one of the experts that was on the one I listened to the other day I've now convinced myself I have too short a luetal phase and also too light & short flow each month and that this is where my problems lie. Hoping it's not just me that totally overthinks every single thing when it comes to TTC.

@Mia1985x how long is your luteal phase usually? Have you read about B6 vitamins and how they can help with that? I'm thinking of adding it to my mix just because of reviews but normally my luteal phase is around 15 days since the miscarriage, it used to be long at 19! So I don't want to mess around with it.. Such a headache isn't it!
This is what my letter said.. Doesn't say use protection so I'm guessing no sex at all? I'll be sure to ask when I call if they don't clear that up for me! Also loling at the use of comic sans, very professional 😂

@Stabal oooo ill need to research and read up all about B6 now thanks. My leutal phase is usually about 11 days. It can be up to 13 days some months but also as short as 9 days some months. I told my consultant and he didn't seem too worried but who knows. Also AF is usually really light and 2-3 days of light flow. Sorry for TMI here but some months its so light there's no point in using a tampon and can get away with light panty liners. I've obviously googled the sh*t out of this and surprised at how many others have similar AF and also went on to get pregnant with no obvious problems.

I swear I'm going to go to this scan in a few days with a massive list of questions haha.

Your letter does sound like they are suggesting no sex at all as well. Love how you noticed the comic sans, thats totally something I would too 🤣

@Mia1985x I have a friend with periods similar and has 2 kids with no issues. I would be the same as you though and obsessively researching about it! It's almost like we're not satisfied until there's a horrific issue with some of this stuff.. Like "here's 20 successful stories.. I don't believe them.. Best keep reading.. Oh here's 1 story with no happy ending, that's me" 😂

Also my left boob is BURNING and I just want to say, where is the justice?! I had ridiculous PMS building up to this ovulation, crying in work every day this week.. And now sore boobs? I hate being a woman sometimes!

@stabal it’s so true. Af and pms is a nightmare every month. I would def write down all the questions you want answered. They will be so used to it! But you want to make sure you find out all the info you can!!

My temp has spiked again this morning (probably due to that glass of wine with dinner haha). Didn’t test today but will maybe try again in a day or 2.

I still can’t work out when I ovulated. Looking at my temp charts both ways it could really be either. Given fact my luteal phase is usually 12 days, I think I’m more likely t be 8dpo than 14??

Sorry I feel like all I do is go on about my chart this month 🙈🙈🙈

Mind if I tag along? I'm a cynical cow right now because af is DEFINITELY coming and no matter how many "I had af symptoms before bfp", I just can't shake the feeling that I'm that ONE person that won't happen to! And I stupidly bought toilet paper covered in red Santa's, so it's even harder to check!!

Hope you are all keeping safe during lockdown ❤️❤️❤️

@Crazydoglady86 welcome!!! I am laughing so much at the red santa toilet roll 😂
How many dpo are you? Hoping af stays away.
I have no symptoms whatsoever of af or pregnancy. Having the longest cycle!!!

Hi @LT103 no idea when I ovulate cos I thought I'd just pretend to not think about it (like everyone tells you to) and just dtd between cd10 and cd15. What you're describing sounds really positive! I reeeeaaaally hope that old bint AF stays well away for you! I'm 34 and only just trying to conceive #1 in Dec last year because I stupidly listened to all my teachers in high school and assumed I would look at a penis and fall PG. How naive was I?! Xxxx

@Crazydoglady86 I know right? I feel like I got taught nothing useful about my cycle! I used to panic if I forgot one pill. Looking back now I realise how ridiculous that was!! Been ttc 6 months here but at 38 I knew it wouldn’t be easy

Hey everyone hope you're all ok 😊

AF is due today, was lying in bed for an hour not wanting to get up and check! But no AF and BFN.

@Mia1985x
Sounds like spotting to me! I never say it's a period until I really know it's a period if that makes sense.

I used up the last of my cheap pg tests today so I think that's good, now I'll have to be really convinced before I buy another and not do it just for fun 🤪

Morning ladies

I hope you're okay?

I'm in a fluster. AF was due today and as my temp was up I thought I'd test. Are my eyes deceiving me? Is this a positive test? I am in shock.

@LT103 I'm still not convinced your not 14dpo...look how positive the temp pattern would be.
@Crazydoglady86 so have you been trying for almost a year? Do you not track ovulation at all? I would really recommend using opks and bbt now.

@QFT123 I would say that most definitely is a positive test 😁😁😁😁

@butterfly5291 I can only hope! Woke up this morning with cramps like I usually have when af is at its heaviest. But no spotting or anything. Worried she’ll show today or tomorrow now

@LT103 thank you, this feels so surreal.

Hi ladies, just checking in to make sure everyone's ok. I've been keeping an eye on this chat from time to time.

I saw a few comments about B6, I took B6 alongside other vitamins the month that I fell so would recommend. Whether it made a difference or not I don't know, I just picked up a cheap one in Savers for about £1.

I'm now 13 weeks and all is well. Here's my little one.

Hope everyone's good and staying strong ❤️

@butterfly5291 noooo meant to say this cycle I haven't tracked. Previously I've been using CBD OPK's and my peak is usually around day 13. Makes no difference though and just makes me stressed so I thought this month I'd just bugger it all off and do it between CD10 - CD15. Can def feel AF coming though--sore underboob, abdo and back cramps and the sound of my partner drinking his brew is making me want to rip my hair out 😂 xx

@QFT123 that looks like a pretty clear positive to me! Congratulations xxxxx

@Crazydoglady86 thank you I'm trying my hardest to not get too excited!

@QFT123
Congrats! 🥳

Ohhh ladies what a lovely Sunday check in here! @QFT123 congratulations, definitely a positive!! 😍

@Jadeb1995 I was thinking about you the other day too! Look at that cute little baby omg. I'm so excited for you! Do you know the sex yet? 🥰🥰

@LT103 I also agree with @butterfly5291 I think you're 14 DPO, I'm so anxious for you in these coming days 🤞
