Morning girls 💕

@DKDK123 I don't know much about temping but that sounds hopeful if you've never had it before 🥰 and it could definitely be too early yet. Completely with you on the impatience though, it becomes all I can think about and the wait is torture 😩😂 x

@lucyrp oh no, would the hope be that it goes back up to a similar level of where it's peaked previously? Temping intrigues me but it's probably best I never discovered it as I'd have become obsessed. X

Done another test this morning and got a clearer line 🥰 sorry hope no one minds me posting this on here still? I don't want to leave 😂😭 x

@DKDK123 you do what you need to, I’ve been there testing impossible, and now I went completely opposite, just don’t want to test, or rather don’t want to see a bfn

Franklydear · 22/09/2020 07:42

@KateColx that is definitely a clearer line🎉

blodyn91 · 22/09/2020 07:44

@DKDK123 my temps dropped 3 days in a row around 10dpo then back up, as long as the drop isnt below cover line you are still in the game, and I also got a BFN at 10dpo.🤞🤞🤞 for you

Just want to comment on the chat at the end of the last thread, my OH started taking testosterone boosting tablets, and we dtd every 2/3 days after AF up till peak OPK. During week of Ovulation he was on morning shift so was home at 3 pm, I would awkwardly just go upstairs and seduced him after his shower as I knew if I waited till we went to bed it just would not happen. We had a few chats about it all, he also took multivitamins, think he thought it was his issue by the end because I was ovulating. Not sure if the testosterone tablets helped but he was way more into sex that cycle. 😏

Thanks for the tag ladies. Was worried I wouldn’t find you all. So I’m in need of some help as in struggling and I know some of you have been in this position. I’m in that awkward phase of no af and no bfp. I had a mmc in July then had a normal period after that and this is the next cycle but it’s nowhere to be seen and I’m not coping very well as if it’s a bfn then I just want to get cracking again. Doesn’t help it’s my birthday next week and that’s when my fertile window should have opened but not now. Where the bloody hell is she lol?! This ttc malarkey is bloody hard work and full of mixed emotions x

DKDK123 · 22/09/2020 07:57

Looking good with the line progression @KateColx 😊 don't apologise for posting on here, we love to celebrate when one of our own finally becomes successful, gives us all hope. And as you find out everyone's ups and downs in the ttc journey on here it always feels different seeing a BFP here than when you see someone announce it IRL. Or maybe thats just me but I get so happy and excited for the ladies on here and so secretly annoyed and jealous that its not me when it comes to people IRL 😂

Thanks @blodyn91 thats given me a wee bit of hope. It didn't fall below the cover line but did sit bang on the line in premom and just above it in FF so im going with FF as it looks more promising 😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/09/2020 08:01

Thank you @Minster2012 my virtual friend 👯‍♀️😂
What were these tablets called @blodyn91? 👀
So had sex this morning as got my smiley and his dick came out right at the crucial point 😆 shoved it bk in so I got some sperm but prob not the whole amount, how disappointing for us both! Soz for the tmi but we're all friends here now right 😁

DKDK123 · 22/09/2020 08:05

Oh no, @notyetamumbuttrying how frustrating!!! Glad you managed to shove it in and capture at least a few swimmers

Runnergirl1 · 22/09/2020 08:06

Congratulations to the bfp’s too. Such lovely news x

Flittingaboutagain · 22/09/2020 08:08

Thank you!

Minster2012 · 22/09/2020 08:08

@notyetamumbuttrying all will not be lost don't worry! Think positive & try seduce him again tomorrow!

@Runnergirl1 mine was like that it's awful limbo I'm so sorry you are there too, it's truly the biggest mind fuck. Unfortunately I kept speaking to my EPU & said lots of bleeding (which I had) and no bleeding is all normal for a few cycles & to just "ride it out" I did comment that we are trying to ride it out to try again but that didn't go well 😂🤣. Try phoning them and see what they say lovely but totally feel your limbo horror & sending masses of hugs 😘

@lucyrp maybe not worry too much about the temps this month & hopefully just focus on it being a shorter cycle lovely? As your bloods will say if you ovulated 🤞🏻🥰

@2alreadywantanother sending HUGE love to you this week when's your next scan/chat with doctors? Xx

Flittingaboutagain · 22/09/2020 08:11

Yes to follow on... DP is re- reading Planning for a Baby Dr Brewster and reassured us both that sex frequency and sperm and egg quality link to conception issues not genetic viability of an embryo. So we can basically carry on having sex at least 5x in FW without worrying it is too much!

2alreadywantanother · 22/09/2020 08:23

@minster2012 tomorrow and assuming d&c Thursday.

Can anyone shed any light on low dose aspirin and progesterone? Here its normally after 3 miscarriages you are told about them but I'm gona mention to my gp. Women that have miscarried a few times have gone on to have successful pregnancies while on them. Considering I'm 40 I'm hoping she will consider letting me at least try them if I fall pregnant again

Missgoldilocks · 22/09/2020 08:34

Thanks for tag girls for some reason it never comes up on my bloody page though! Good thing it's so easy to find with the titles and all!!

@notyetamumbuttrying ahh so annoying!! 😬

@Minster2012 I know right Tuesday sex what kind of blasphemy 😂 hey Thursdays are good too, just don't bloody tell me I gotta wait for Saturday 😂 anyway I've messed up my ovulation date so no more Saturday sex it needs to be midweek!!

RIGHT I'm going to use second morning wee and test 😵🥴 I don't feel. Pregnant but I think I need to not sit around till tomorrow wondering if I'm gonna come on so gest to just get it over and done with 😬

lucyrp · 22/09/2020 08:34

@KateColx I would hope it would go to a peak today of 36.7/8 or similar but I took a first reading at 36.10 then 36.31 so I entered that one but I probably should have entered the lower one so I've messed it up anyway! Omg congrats on your test today. Much clearer even tho yesterday's was clear! 💗x

@Runnergirl1 I hate to say it but you could be in for a wacky cycle or similar like I was after my CP ended up in a 72 day cycle. Really hope it isn't for you but try not to be too stressed about eithrt coming! X

@notyetamumbuttrying glad you shoved it back in! We had sex this morning too as yesterday was supposed to be OV today and even tho I don't think it was may aswell get some action in. OH is none the wiser to what day is what so doesn't bother him 😂

@Minster2012 I was hoping they'd show me more insight than my opks but neither of them are of any use to me. 🤣 I'm going to guess my bloods will have said no which is disappointing but hey ho

Missgoldilocks · 22/09/2020 08:53

Okkkkk negative pregnancy test but I expected as much. Feel sad, probably will feel sadder when af comes and I'll have a cry but trying to stay strong anyway. I just have to get to january and if still nothing then at least I can focus on going medical. This is bullshit though to think of all the people that have kids and can't give them anything or won't give them anything 😐😵

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/09/2020 08:58

@DKDK123 yeah true! Best ones are first out though aren't they 😣
@Minster2012 I shall try my best!

@2alreadywantanother I hope it all goes well for you xx
@Missgoldilocks tell me about it lol! Ooh good luck testing! 😬
@lucyrp so am I lol! I was like arghhhh 😂
When do you get bloods bk? Mine should be today.

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/09/2020 09:00

@Missgoldilocks sorry sweetheart, I feel your pain, I really do! January's our cut off for going private. Gonna see how quickly the referral comes and then make a call on iui/ivf etc so I'll be here and so will @Minster2012. Xx

lucyrp · 22/09/2020 09:00

@notyetamumbuttrying I haven't even had mine done yet I'm getting them done next Monday which will be CD23 and then il have to wait a week to get them back so another two weeks yet ! 🙄

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/09/2020 09:00

@lucyrp argh how frustrating!! Well I'll post how mine went later today hopefully.

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm just so fed up with it all now ! I keep thinking about how DS keeps getting older and how big the age gap is going to be and it infuriates me!

Missgoldilocks · 22/09/2020 09:07

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you xxxx this is shit 🙄

lucyrp · 22/09/2020 09:13

@Missgoldilocks sorry about your bfn! I think I'm in the same angry fed up stage as you 😂x

Franklydear · 22/09/2020 09:19

@Runnergirl1 mt last proper period was 3rd August, bit of spotting at the end of August and still non the wiser, I'll test again this weekend if nothing happens, doc said the same one of those things...
