giving everyone a chin chin on the old tea and coffee here! ☕️

You know we got your back @lucyrp alllll the 💓💗💖and we don't care if that back is spotty or not! 😂

@Newbie0818 he still looks ridiculously cute!!

@NestinginNL my pointer can't work out collies, she wants to play with EVERY dog & she's like "why don't they want to play with me?" As every collie just looks obsessively at a ball instead of the stupid dog prancing around in front of it 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

@Franklydear so that's just a small prawn right...for my sandwich???

Franklydear · 04/10/2020 15:48

@Minster2012 canapé maybe, there’s 3 of them🤣

NestinginNL · 04/10/2020 15:54

@Vil10 happy rummaging 😅

@Minster2012 mine isn’t allowed balls because she develops deafness when it’s time for the game to end and takes it to the nearest stranger who throws it before we can shout not to. She is very bouncy and playful though. Her favourite thing is herding doodles. I think because they look like small sheep? 🤔 🐑 I can’t wait to have the puppy so she finally has a play companion 🥰 she doesn’t understand why the cats don’t get play bows and barking.

lucyrp · 04/10/2020 15:57

@NestinginNL thank you il keep you up to date x

@Vil10 I am back .. kind of 🙈 basically my levels should have been 30 to confirm ovulation and mine were 0.4 so yeah 😭

@Minster2012 🤣💗

Katao · 04/10/2020 15:59

@Minster2012 I'm not giving up hope but I'm trying to be logical about it. Meand progesterone are not friends.. .pms for me usually means nausea, vomiting, headaches etc and nought going on so I'm suspicious there isn't much progesterone going on. It's a wait and see game though.

@lucyrp welcome back. I'm in the same boat. Irregular cycles, day 3 bloods fine, day 21 bloods low progesterone. I've had my day 21 bloods done again this cycle but haven't had results yet. Pcos was ruled out based on my day 3 bloods. Doctor was talking about insulin/progesterone relationship and medication for that but I have to say I didn't fully understand what she was talking about and have to wait for the second set of results yet anyway before anything will be prescribed so she will talk to me about it again if that is the case.

Minster2012 · 04/10/2020 16:02

Ha ha ha @Franklydear that's def enough for a vol o vont (I don't even know how to spell it coz it shouldn't be a thing) 😂

@NestinginNL our dogs have whistle deafness too when they want. Despite good training they are like "say what????" My doodle would just stay still & have a distinct look of "I'm above this" he's kinda stopped playing after being around stupid pointer he's like "I preferred it being the 3of us, you never consulted me about HER....🐶then you DEF didn't consult me about 👶🏻"

lucyrp · 04/10/2020 16:13

@Katao yeah that's what I'm thinking. I'm sure they ruled PCOS out on my other bloods as all other hormones were normal levels and for PCOS you need your anti mullerian and testosterone level higher and mine were fine. I'm just waiting on my referral with a gynae x

Katao · 04/10/2020 16:17

@lucyrp we'll both get there 😉

notyetamumbuttrying · 04/10/2020 16:19

@BellsB1 haha heady days! I can't imagine I'll be late but if I don't come on by weds I'll test thurs.
thank you @Katao what did they recommend for your low progesterone? Are you on tablets?
Hey @lucyrp nice to have you back! How was the break? Ah sorry to hear about the results, but great you got your referral! Let's hope it's quick for both of us as I was referred a couple weeks ago.
@Minster2012 ooh that's exciting!! And thanks about the ICSI, from what I've read it looks like the way to go! Dh is convinced his sperm will get better but I'm not so sure, esp with it being 3 things wrong. Second SA will be in Nov, so we'll see then.
@Newbie0818 your dog is bloody gorge!!

Katao · 04/10/2020 16:20

Oh actually @Minster2012 I lied I actually do have one symptom to spot.....I'm STARVING! can not be fed the last couple of days. Just realised (as I raid the presses for the umpteenth time today 😬) that that might be a good sign!

lucyrp · 04/10/2020 16:23

@Katao the only problem I have with my cycles is my bloody temps are so high and I don't have the patience to use opks all the way through my cycle if it's 50 bloody days long as I use the CB ones and can't do the ICs as they piss me off even more 😫🤣

Katao · 04/10/2020 16:25

@notyetamumbuttrying no not on anything yet. Doctor wanted to redo the day 21 bloods first to get another look at progesterone levels. I can't remember the name of the medication but it had something to do with insulin management to promote progesterone production

Katao · 04/10/2020 16:28

@lucyrp I don't temp and in 5/6 months of using opks I have only got to definite peaks so totallyget what you mean. I just get a lot of highs that leave me confused most of the time.

Katao · 04/10/2020 16:28

*two

lucyrp · 04/10/2020 16:29

@Katao yeah mine have just been high high and high again 🤣 if I don't laugh I'll cry. I mean I've cried a lot so 😬

Katao · 04/10/2020 16:37

@lucyrp I'd guve up opksbut I'm a poas addict 😂 gotta pee on some sort of stick! Oh bless I know its hard but I'm feeling better now that I know there is something happening to sort ot out. Hopefully your referral goes through quickly (and yours @notyetamumbuttrying) and you have a solution soon x

notyetamumbuttrying · 04/10/2020 16:41

@Katao ok, good progress is being made at least then! And thank you. I feel a thousand times better knowing what is wrong and that we have a plan now. No more obsessing over "symptoms" as it's very unlikely I'll get pregnant with the sperm the way it is. It could happen nov/dec I guess but we'll see what the second SA brings. For now, I just enjoying hearing about you girls, and happy to share updates when I have them.

Newbie0818 · 04/10/2020 20:05

Definite ovulation, cramps, back ache, horny as hell and boobs are KILLING ME. Oh please girls pray this is my month, I'm absolutely desperate! What can I do to help those swimmers??

@lucyrp I definitely think pcos, and remember you only need 2/3 criteria. 1. Bloods. 2. Scans with cysts. 3. Irregular periods. And it can just be brought on all of a sudden through diet/ stress/ anything really.

@NestinginNL he is :) although I think he may be part demon because he can be soooo naughty haha.

@Minster2012 thanks love x

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you! X

Vil10 · 04/10/2020 20:23

@lucyrp I bet that was hard to hear but like I said at least you know now and you're not constantly wondering and you can get some advice, how do you feel about it all?x

lucyrp · 04/10/2020 20:25

@Vil10 yeah I guess so, haven't really thought about it too much. Been throwing myself into self care this week and thinking about how I can make my house look nicer so going to start by the bathroom and jazz all my rooms up. I probably won't be on here much x

Minster2012 · 04/10/2020 20:57

@lucyrp it does make sense what the ladies are saying, and you may have a cyst if you are experiencing ovulation type pain but not ovulating 🤔I defffffff think needs exploring further

@Newbie0818 helllsssss to the yeah what can you do to help the swimmers?
You mean APART from the a) not orgasming, b) Oreo choc c) a round of pouffe sex. d) pizza for stamina e) legs in the air for gravitational pull f) the suction cup thing for collection??? g) def don't enjoy the actual sex h) what was it that mummy2020 said, some sort of staying keeping the swimmers in from the cup whilst having clit action and so causing the illusive up-suck??? (Thus taking out a and g though so be careful) i) grapefruit juice fir lubrication (should have been done pre this week though) j) sprinkle some pumpkin seeds on your foof (I think that's what you do) k) pomegranate juice up your foof for fluffy lining l) a collie laying on your feet for warmth. Milo might do but now he's been shaved maybe warm socks might be needed too. m) ground sesame seeds on your sticky tits n) alcohol for round 2 o) the love honey purple bullet from the May thread p) do not wee after sex q) preseed lubricant r) def wee after sex so you don't get an infection s) do it doggy so his swimmers are pointing the right direction t) have sex ONLY every other day u) have sex 3 times a day v) drink cough syrup (helps cure Covid too) w) don't let OH wear tight boxers x) don't have sex on top, they will fall out y) lie down for 2 hours after and of course z) JUST RELAX ABOUT IT @Newbie0818

Got it??? 😉

Newbie0818 · 04/10/2020 21:02

@Minster2012 legend 🤣 actually made me LOL! Love it! Ok, getting my zen on🧘🏼‍♀️

Katao · 04/10/2020 21:48
