@candycrush2298 But I feel like sperm count should be the same level in all countries. Why can Americans have babies with lower sperm counts than us lol. But if it is sperm count then that's fixable so all good. The morphology thing sounds a bit scary though. Definitely see if you can convince the GP send it to you. I really hope all goes well.

But it's nice to finally be on the verge of finding out what's going on and what your options are.

candycrush2298 · 28/09/2020 21:19

@Elakiya if I can get I will be sure to let you guys know. Yeah count can definitely be fixed so not freaked out by that at all. Thing is though that the gp will just refer us to the clinic which is what is taking so long so in essence while we may know there's an issue. We won't know what can be done for months yet. Its the waiting thats driving me insane.

As for why counts are different in different countries I wish I knew lol. Completely beats me whahahha. The WHO has it set to 6 million so many countries just go with that I guess lol.

@candycrush2298 Unfortunately the NHS is super slow and usually it doesn't matter but when our biological clocks are ticking answers quickly would help! Hold on in there. I know Covids not helping either :(.

Boc86 · 28/09/2020 21:41

Are there natural ways of increasing sperm count just in case in the mean time?

Oh lolll I thought cuz it rose between cd14 to 17 it was rising? They’re correct temps x

candycrush2298 · 28/09/2020 22:19

@Elakiya I know right. Its not like there's anything else I can do but hang in there lol!! And no Covid is what is making it supppppppper freaken slow.

@Boc86 unfortunately two temps with days missing means nothing. Temping is about seeing an overall trend and seeing ovulation in retrospect which only shows if the follicular phase is accurate unfortunately. But you still a few days out so you may still be able to see it if you don't skip anymore days and keep the consistency. I just read a phrase that said "new house, new baby" think its an American thing but hope its true for you since you recently moved into your new home..super excited for you and think you have such a great shot with the progesterone suppositories.

@Elakiya what about you though, how is it going without testing at all? You feeling less stressed? More stressed? What's been happening?

Welliedays · 28/09/2020 22:23

@candycrush2298 @elakiya I suppose it means that the US will only see people who have bow 6 million, where as UK will see people below 15 million... So it must be a good thing for us?

I have what is like thr worst pmt. My husband will divorce me before the end of these 9 months 😂

Elakiya · 28/09/2020 22:23

@candycrush2298 We haven't been BD-ing properly. I don't know if it's the exams so just don't have time to be BD-ing lol! I feel more stressed without my OPK's I'm cycle day 13 today tempted to order some becomes I am sure I haven't ovulated yet and would like to know when I do lol!

candycrush2298 · 28/09/2020 22:29

@Welliedays I like your logic lets go with that hahahah!! But honestly that does make sense.

Whahahaha I am also in full bitch mode husband said to me tonight tell me what is wrong with you why are you so mad what have I done wrong and I am like nothing I am getting my periods any minute 🤣🤣🤣 lets hope your husband remembers you're busy cooking a baby and that trumps all excuses lol!

@Elakiya awww every 2 or 3 days is fine hun. Thats what my doctor told me hahah. If you had to guess would you say you're in your fertile window? If you're feeling more stressed then definitely sounds like you need some more. The whole thing is about bringing our stress levels down not up. With exams though obviously that's pretty important and a stressor all on its own xx still rooting for you that you will pull through this with such ease.

@candycrush2298 hey have you had your AF yet missy? Hows your temps?

candycrush2298 · 29/09/2020 09:18

@Kaybobx you're far to attentive 🤣🤣🤣 no AF isn't here. Only if she doesnt come tomorrow will I officially be late as I have had 27 day cycles before but never ever 28. But even then we can't say I am late because I have no idea when I actually ovulated.

Temps are being weird they have gone up but please don't get excited Ava is just getting to know me still and I am sure thats all it is.

And just because I know you're going to be excited anyway 🤣🤣🤣 yes I did take a test and its negative. I am 14dpo so if I was pg then I would have had a positive test.

I’m going to get excited in my head then @candycrush2298 :)

Just in the hospital, the appointment was with Tommy’s the recurrent miscarriage people
They were so nice I could’ve just cried the whole way through
Had bloods, usually react to the plasters, micro pore tape and cotton wool but reacted to the tourniquet this time! Flipping arms on fire and have scratched it to bits!!

Sat at the chemist wait for my progesterone 😭😭 pray this is all I need to get me my take home baby

candycrush2298 · 29/09/2020 10:55

@Boc86 lol!!! thank you honey, just dont want you all dissapointed when AF makes an appearance.

Awww that is so nice at least you were in good hands thats what makes you feel more relaxed and confident well it does for me anyway. I truly am rooting this is all you need and then bam you will carry full term xx

Sorry that the plaster is burning!!

Good luck @Boc86

I think I have ewcm. I’ve not held pee today to test so going to have to soon!

Boc86 · 29/09/2020 16:12

Thank you ❤️
Ooo exciting! My ewcm is just missing completely 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m cd18 and no signs of ov
Usually ov cd19-21

NamechangeTTC · 29/09/2020 18:18

I’m losing track of people so sorry for asking @Boc86 do you have older children?

NamechangeTTC · 29/09/2020 19:28

TMI warning

Is this ewcm?

CSG (Thread 4)
candycrush2298 · 29/09/2020 19:45

@NamechangeTTC what does your OPK look like? Yes that looks like ewcm to me.

@Boc86 aww hopefully your ewcm shows up soon 🤞🤞

Elakiya · 29/09/2020 20:18

@candycrush2298 I think I might just give this month a miss altogether. With exams its just not going to be possible. Also I eat so much when I study that I am so bloated and really can't BD lol.

Your graphs looks good. Excited to see what tomorrow holds!

I saw this! I can't believe BMI is meant to be healthy when you adopt. Basically no one is going to give me a baby unless I lose weight.

NamechangeTTC · 29/09/2020 20:43

It’s low still. And lower than yesterday. I’m off tomorrow so can double test.
