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

[butterfly5291]

Starting a new thread...

@LT103 yes I am so hoping corona doesn't ruin our trip away as I'm also desperate to get out of my usual 4 walls!

@CAG14 sorry AF turned up but like you said you can enjoy that time away. My mum's just come back from Cornwall and it looked gorgeous. Hopefully you'll get some sunny days.
@LT103 hope you have a lovely time away at the cottage too.
I'm sick to death of the stupid rules that aren't consistent or logical...I loved this article

Just on our way back from Alton towers...so glad I chose to drive in the way there...I'm knackered! Smiler was definitely the best ride!

Hiya!

Joining :) ... TTC for about 2 months now - not long - and this thread has already been super helpful.
Currently just using usual cycle tracking & started temperature measuring about 10 days ago... so I'm assuming it's a bit early to understand that properly until I've done a full cycle?
Also, does anyone have recommendations on LH tests - which ones are best to get?
xx

I'm spotting AGAIN. Every damn cycle since the miscarriage I have spotted before ovulation and I cannot find anything online about spotting between period and ovulation. I am so frustrated.

@Stabal that really sucks! Is it red or brown? Not that I know anything about it one way or the other! Will your drs not do anything?!

@butterfly5291 it's brown and only when I wipe. I'm going to ring the doctors tomorrow and demand someone see me rather than this talking on the phone nonsense

Ugh @Stabal thats so frustrating! Good idea to phone the Drs and ask to actually see someone. Let us know how you get on. Hopefully they can give you some answers.

New guys. I'm 34 and TTC month 2

Glad you mentioned the wine 🍷😁 BFN and very emotional right now. Will get drunk tonight and start again tomorrow. I know I'm psycho for thinking it would be so quick but randomly paranoid I'm infertile.

@JeanieJ welcome...what cycle day are you on? Are you using fertility friend app to track? I use the femometer OPKs about £15 for 50 from Amazon.

@Imworthit has AF arrived today? I'm the same, 33 and on third cycle now. Our emotions are all over the place don't be hard on yourself.

@Stabal how did you get on with Drs?

@butterfly5291

Thanks for the tip - I'll deffo get them next month if I'm still trying.

I'm also 33 :)

I'm on day 18. Up until last month, I'd been using Clue and then for this cycle, I'm testing Natural Cycles and measuring my temperature.

It's a bit odd - Clue has been so accurate in terms of when my AF is due, but I've been adding my temperatures to Natural Cycles and this morning told me that I ovulated 2 days earlier than both apps had originally predicted. So now my AF dates are 2 days out on both apps!
All very confusing!

@Imworthit - wine always makes me feel better!

Afternoon all!
Af arrived today, a day or two early which now means it’s due next month on my wedding day (unless I get pregnant obviously!) 😭 how depressing! I always look like the walking dead on the day af arrives! 🧟‍♀️ It’s not our big wedding day, just the legal bit, but was hoping to have a nice photo or two anyway!
Putting my feet up for the next day and going to binge on some caffeine, cake & wine!!

@JeanieJ I usually use CB ones that give you smiley faces on the 2 most fertile days, along with one step cheapies!

@CAG14 sorry to hear af arrived, but good that you can enjoy a bit of drinking while you’re away!

@Cha0907 I’m not sure if taking vitamins delayed ovulation, but the month I started taking the vitamins with folic acid, I had a 31 day cycle and I’m usually 26/27 days so I put it down to the vitamins messing with my cycle! I was back to usual the following month though so maybe the vitamins have just messed your cycle up a bit this month?

@LT103 two weeks off sounds lovely! Enjoy! 😀

@stabal that’s annoying!!! Have you spoken to the doctor?

@crazycatlady1981 🤞🏻You get the best wedding gift

@butterfly5291 @LT103 was told a doctor would call me back today but they didn't. Will be back on to them at 9am. I know this covid stuff is horrendous but when you can't actually get any sort of health care it's getting beyond a joke.

@stabal that’s a nightmare. I got a call back same day from my doctor when I called about things. I’d def make sure you get a call back at some point!

@LT103 to be honest I think the problem is the receptionists. My GP is usually quite good and caring. She called me personally when she found out I was pregnant and again when she heard about the miscarriage. But since covid the receptionists have taken on some God stance and won't listen to anyone about the issue properly!

Hi guys, sorry to butt in on this thread but I've tried to start one of my own and every time I go to post it tells me to log in, but I've already logged in... so then I go to click on My Mumsnet and it says I'm logged out, so I log in again, go through the same process just for it to tell me to log in again! Has anyone else had this problem? Hopefully this message will work, it's already been an emotional night!

Nvm ignore my comment above, I shortened the post and it worked!

@Stabal that’s awful, hope you manage to speak to your GP tomorrow and get some answers!

@Stabal that's so annoying!!! I'm sure your GP surgery isn't struggling with lots of covid patients right now! Definitely phone back and demand a call back. Do they have an email address you can write to? I had to complain about a GP last year so found it out that way.

@butterfly5291 I'm not sure if they do but that's definitely something I'm going to look into now!

I now have EWCM with brown.. I haven't used an OPK yet because it's a bit early to start for my usual cycle length. Will start tomorrow and see if ovulation is gonna come earlier than normal this month 🙄 never ending lol

@Stabal if it's brown I wouldn't worry about it too much, prob just a little blob left over from AF. Did you get through to the doctor this morning?

@butterfly5291 yeah I've an appointment next week, finally. I had some pain at like 2am and this morning a temp drop.. I think I might have ovulated. DTD this morning just in case!

Hi ladies. Hope everyone is doing well. I've been keeping an eye on you all and hoping for your bfps. 🌸
