@notyetamumbuttrying I might look into it for next cycle if AF shows. My temps are all over the place at the moment, jumped to 37.02 today, not a clue what's happening. Doesn't mean AF isn't on her way as I never get the temp drop beforehand. She's a bitch like that, giving me no warning.

I'm just worried, and knowing my luck, it'll shorten my LP further.

@Sausage1990 taking your time and doing what's right for you is so important, mental health and anxiety definitely affect your body. You'll be ready when you're ready. ❤

I've definitely realised sex becomes more of a chore when you're trying to schedule it in, and I become a lot more anxious when it's FW... Are we doing it enough, should I lie down longer afterwards, blah 🤦🏻‍♀️

Minster2012 · 02/10/2020 07:32

Ahh I see @2alreadywantanother I got told after we were meant to wait cos of infection risk but meh, least you are better educated 🤞🏻and can not!! It won't be long 😬 and you've got the new car & nail course & date night to look forward to!

@Sausage1990 you will know when it's right for you to start again ❤️

@Mrsbear1122 hopefully work is less stressful now so you can relax in TWW 🤞🏻from here ppl have said such bad things about pregnacare I don't get how it can lengthen things but so many ppl say that!!

@BellsB1 oh yes you should always lie down longer afterwards, not orgasm & have legs in the air 😂🤣🙄it's so silly isn't it!!

Hi, where’s @lucyrp? Did I miss any updates?

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/10/2020 07:45

@BellsB1 yeah I think so. LP at least needs to be 11 days for it to implant properly. I'm almost certain it wouldn't shorten it. It's a weird tablet as it works differently on everyone. I just took it cd1 until ov. Not sure if that's the same to sort the LP out tho, probably is. Defo get all your research in. There's a thread on here about it as well!
Yeah sex is defo a chore after so long of trying!
@clolo hey! Nice to see you over here. I shouldn't be here either really but it's the best thread imo!
@Franklydear Lucy's taking a break from here. She said on another thread we're on that someone was a bit mean to her so she wanted to take a break for a while. I'm sure she'll be back soon.
@lucyrp hope you're doing ok honey 😘

Franklydear · 02/10/2020 07:55

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks, I hope you’re ok @lucyrp, and come back to us soon

BellsB1 · 02/10/2020 08:00

@Minster2012 women shouldn't orgasm anyway, sex is for procreation and not enjoyment. Confused

@notyetamumbuttrying so I need to make it to Monday then, as Sunday is 11dpo. Today is 9dpo and it's only the second time ever that I've got here since having the coil removed 😂

@clolo sorry to hear that, but welcome back!

I got congratulated at work the other day for being pregnant. Oh no, that's just my food baby, but thanks, I have been meaning to start exercising again. 😂

Minster2012 · 02/10/2020 08:37

@clolo I'm the same, these ladies can't get rid of me despite the fact I shouldn't be on this thread 🤔🤦🏼‍♀️OMG shameless, brilliant, yes def want bumping up please - there is always someone worse off than me....but errrr I don't care about them 😂🤣oops that should be an internal thought sometimes you gotta look out for you!

@BellsB1 def shouldn't enjoy. That's def why we aren't pregnant. And I hope you punched that person! 😳 where are they in Yorkshire, I will punch them for you!

BellsB1 · 02/10/2020 08:49

@Minster2012 look out for number one.. I wanna know who I have to suck up to to get on the list 😂

Must lie back, think of England and not enjoy. Must also ensure that we sound like we're enjoying it so not to destroy any male egos 🤷‍♀️.

I think they felt worse than me when I just went erm, no, just my dinner and walked off 😂 but then I felt guilty for being rude! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have issues...

Newbie0818 · 02/10/2020 09:06

@Minster2012 oh it's so amazing! We stayed in Ingleton but we visited all over the Dales, Haworth, Windermere, Burpham etc. Miles and miles of beauty. So jelly.

blodyn91 · 02/10/2020 09:08

@Juno231 not a very big drop, got my fx! How long is your LP usually??

Newbie0818 · 02/10/2020 09:08

@Minster2012 oops sorry pressed reply too early. I hope you don't mind me asking, but I don't know much about ivf etc and I'm thinking I'll inevitably be on that route one day. So now you're embryo has been popped in, does that mean you're pregnant? Or is there a whole other process of implantation etc? This might make me sound stupid but it's so new to me!

Juno231 · 02/10/2020 09:55

@BellsB1 I'd maybe try Vit B complex to extend LP before agnus castus but then I've never tried the latter so just my two cents!

@blodyn91 My LP seems to change cycle by cycle. It was 11 days last time, now I'm 14DPO and no AF in sight. My temp dropped to the coverline today so I guess AF will show tomorrow instead?

Test again @Juno231! 🤞

2020mission · 02/10/2020 10:05

@Newbie0818 I was wondering the same thing 😆 it sounds like there's a 2 week wait but that puzzles me as usually a 2 week wait includes the journey down the Fallopian tubes which is skipped with IVF?

I used a FRER today to check if I can drink tonight and it was as white as can be so it pretty sure I'm out this month as I must be around 10 DPO. Expected it anyway so not feeling too bad. I think it's finally sank in that this is not meant to be for me.

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/10/2020 10:07

Wow the coil really does bugger women up doesn't it! @BellsB1 and OMG I'm dreading going bk next week as I know that'll happen to me too! I am soooo much bigger than I was at the start of the year, oops!
@Juno231 ooh you never know, it might be pregnancy!! I'm with @Katao test again! 🤞🏾

BellsB1 · 02/10/2020 10:19

@Juno231 I'm taking a multivitamin with Bs in at the moment, so hopefully that will help! On the temp drop, you never know 🤞

@notyetamumbuttrying it definitely does, no-one ever warned me about the problems afterwards. Although I would probably still have had it as it changed my life and I no longer needed painkillers for my endo. Fx your colleagues are feeling more friendly than mine 😂

I'm not sure how to upload pictures, but my chart is so weird compared to yours @Juno231, I think this month I dropped below cover 3-4 days before ov.

Juno231 · 02/10/2020 10:20

@katao @notyetamumbuttrying Ha if AF hasn't shown tomorrow I'll test then - but based on my temps and RHR I'm pretty sure she's just taking her time to get here!

Juno231 · 02/10/2020 10:31

@BellsB1 not sure that's enough btw - you should be taking it on the side as well!

Minster2012 · 02/10/2020 10:34

@BellsB1 that's suck UP to not suck right??? Cos it would be a bloke 😂😂mind, gutter 🤣don't feel guilty for people being rude f*cks. See pic of the last of my not so healthy Friday work breakfast (don't worry ladies I've eaten my pineapple core, sunflower seeds & sesame seeds /Pom juice so embryo is hopefully nestling in nicely) and yes that's still very weird to think I KNOW somethings there as opposed to you guys hoping.

Though it could just get wasted away if it doesn't attach, eekkk it's all weird.

@Newbie0818 it's all so beautiful but then again we visit other areas around the country & think the same 😂🥰. On the IVF front no I'm not pregnant & it's certainly not guaranteed, so they put a fertilised embryo in the right place in the uterus in a nice fluffy lining so that's a hurdle that's overcome (which in your guys terms happens in your tubes when the Sperm meets the egg), you guys don't necessarily know your lining whereas I've had scans to make sure it's over 7mm the week before (which is what your body does by releasing progesterone as you ovulate) then the fertilised embryo needs to expand further & "hatch" out, & then attach & implant into the lining. So it's put in the right place & when they do they try make sure it's of a good enough quality so it has a chance of expanding/hatching but you just hope it's gonna do that. That's the implantation & from there it's the same. So they only know the quality as it goes in, which is like when yours has travelled down the tubes having met the sperm, then the hard bit is implanting & continuing to split the cells (the outer layer are ones that have the potential to form a placenta, the inner layer are the ones that can go on to form a foetus) to become a baby. Or it doesn't attach & I get a bfn but because of the drugs I'm on I don't get AF til I stop them as they stop the AF.

If you look back to my posts from weds I have showed the pics of our embryo from feb vs this time you can see the cells (I've removed from my phone now) & explained. Please ask anything ❤️☺️

@2020mission yeah it's not actually a TWW, most clinics even do a test on 10days after a 5 day transfer (hence I will), & in the surrogacy world ppl test from 5 days. My clinic does a hpt at 14 days to stop showing "false positives" (ie chemicals) but no you are absolutely right, at 5days after transfer I'm about 10dpo, 10 days after it's 14dpo hence I wanna test next weekend

Sorry for your bfn @2020mission 😫

@Juno231how much is enough? I probably need to research that!

The ones I take have
B1 200% RI 2.2mg
B2 120% RI 1.68mg
B6 500% RI 7mg
B12 600% RI 15ug

I'll be honest and say I saw the percentages and thought that was a lot

2020mission · 02/10/2020 10:56

@Minster2012 that makes it all so much clearer, thanks for explaining the process. It is good that you can be sure your lining and embryo were all good so fingers crossed for successful implantation🤞

Minster2012 · 02/10/2020 11:26

@2020mission clear as mud right! 😂🤣my lining has never got to 7mm before so that's why I wanted to go ahead this week as it was 7.9mm so best possible chance 🤷‍♀️

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/10/2020 12:46

@BellsB1 one good from it then! Do you still have endo? My colleagues are ruthless, well one or two are. Luckily they've seen me everyday on zoom taking up more n more of the screen 😂

@Juno231 that's a bummer then! Will be thinking of you.

I've got raging pms today and want to murder anyone and everyone! 🤬 I hate being a woman 😤

BellsB1 · 02/10/2020 13:01

@notyetamumbuttrying I do, sadly. I was very lucky though as I was diagnosed very young, but it has also meant I've had lots of hormone treatments. I'm luckier than most, as people wait years for a diagnosis.

Ah PMS, I am so moody at the TOTM even my partner avoids me 😂
