@Minster2012 they are my second bloods, had my day 21s in August and also normal. Only missed last cycles day 3s as was on me hols. Just going through the motions to get my referral as it needs to come through me even if I'm fine. Dh had low count, motility and morphology so that was grounds for the referral alone. I don't think we'll conceive naturally with his sperm the way it is. Even with him not smoking or having Saturday sessions and taking supplements. He didn't smoke the first 6 months of ttc and also took supplements so I don't see much changing, but we'll see. And whoop to bake off! Loving it so far 🍰

@Chlo2701 haha 🤣 love that!!

blodyn91 · 22/09/2020 21:19

@notyetamumbuttrying
these are what OH took. No idea if it was them or the oreos, the pinapple or the seed cycling, but something worked 😆

@DKDK123 yes to a BFP 🤞 you have a good sticky one!

SarahTTC2020 · 22/09/2020 21:38

Bloody love bake off! Have to wait til Thursday to catch up though.
I'm 7dpo and not feeling so great today. Had a lovely day out with DH but then just did my Clubbercise class and thought I was going to pass out for most of it so then I got scared and did none of the jumping.

Minster2012 · 22/09/2020 21:45

@Franklydear we all keep each other looking & sounding vaguely sane don't we??? Cos we vent in here ??? (Don't we??? She says chomping & staring wildly around?!!😬🤔😳)

@notyetamumbuttrying I see, so all to get the referral that makes sense. IT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO EAT 🍰🧁🎂but I love it!!

@Chlo2701 that's great! I'm down with that approach 😂no I stopped bleeding on Saturday night so a full AF really, 3 full days of bleeding so in theory I'm now CD6 of a new period after a 14 day period last time when I should be around day 21 & having embryo transferred tomorrow 😞😫. I had to have northisterone to bring on my last period at day 42, before that a "normal" 31 day, before that 3 lots of 14 days/12/16 days after MMC. So I did say I had only had one "normal" cycle & no idea why. So tomorrow morning at 8.45 I'm having bloods done to see if they can work out any reason why I seemingly shed my lining at day 14 again & a scan tomorrow at 1pm to see if there's any chance it can go ahead next week or week after with another week /2 of estrogen & maybe something else to stop lining going??
Lining should be 7mm the week before transfer but they usually scan on day 12, my scan tomorrow is day 7. Or it could be abandoned. I'm shitting it.

Katao · 22/09/2020 22:43

@Minster2012 no wonder you are shtting yourself, that's a lot of pressure on your poor uterus! Wishing you so much luck tomorrow.

I was supposed to get a call back yesterday about my bloods but didn't, nor today so need to chase that up tomorrow 🙄

DKDK123 · 23/09/2020 06:27

Hope all goes well today with the scan @Minster2012 and that the lining is playing ball and above the 7mm! Sending big virtual hugs as I know you'll be anxious today, hope hubby is more supportive than last time!

Dont think it's looking like good news for me, still a faint positive on IC but FR isn't picking up anything this morning instead of getting darker and my temp dropped. Its not below the coverline but its very close to it I think it'll drop below it tomorrow. So a very short lived one day bfp 😔 I had high hopes as tested again last night and the line was already looking darker than the one from earlier in the day so was hoping that meant a good strong one but looks like it wasn't meant to be, just awaiting bleeding then I'll phone the docs as theres clearly something not right after 4 CPs in a year. There's every chance at 36 my eggs might just be too rubbish quality now, hate that there's a time frame on ttc!

Hopeful110 · 23/09/2020 06:41

@Minster2012 haha!! Squeeze all the jizz out! Can't leave a possible winner behind aye 🤣

Well, I have to say my bbt has been the most obvious one yet... im 13 dpo... and stupidly tested at 11dpo and negative... I mean...what else did I expect 😬 i can't help but think my chart is looking good this time around and had a decent rise in temp after a dip at 9dpo and 12 dpo. But I guess time will tell if its really telling me something... ff is telling me not to test until 18 dpo too so gonna try hold out as the disappointment of another bfn makes me sad especially when my friend just announced shes pregnant after trying for 1 month :(

@DKDK123 I can see that second line too!! 🤞 for you lovely xx

Hopeful110 · 23/09/2020 06:42

@Minster2012 good luck for your scan today lovely! I really hope its good news for you! You guys deserve it so much xx

Franklydear · 23/09/2020 06:45

@Minster2012 what would I do without you? Good luck today, hope everything works out
@DKDK123 it only doubles every two days, don’t drive yourself crazy testing every 5 minutes...

lucyrp · 23/09/2020 06:54

@notyetamumbuttrying I do! I'm sure I know all of my surgeries receptionists names by this point!

@Newbie0818 nooo were all here!

@DKDK123 fingers crossed for you! Xx

Right so anyone who temps please help, yesterday I stupidly took my temp twice as the first one seemed very low so I've attached a pic of how it would look with the first one and then how it would look with the second and which one looks like it would make more sense. Please 😬 I had a rise in temp today which is good but my poor chart looks so all over the place 🤣

DKDK123 · 23/09/2020 07:32

@Franklydear didn't you know that driving ourselves crazy is the name of the game on here? 😂 I know I shouldn't repeat test but I'm one of these people that need to know either way good or bad so while I know repeated testing I won't see a clear darkening straight away its more the fading im looking for this early on so I know not to get my hopes up too much. I've got another pack of FR arriving today so will test again later and if that FR isn't picking up then I'll know its definitely game over as the one yesterday did pick it up. If it picks up a faint later on then I still have the other stick to try the following day when it should technically be darker. Right now I'm hedging my bets as a negative so if its not then great I'll be delighted but if it is then im expecting it now anyways

DKDK123 · 23/09/2020 07:34

@lucyrp I dont bother worrying with individual temps just the overall trend, does it rise and stay risen for more than a few days then I'd take that to mean ovulation has def happened so you'd need to wait a few more days to see it on yours. Looks as tho its heading that way tho which is good.

Franklydear · 23/09/2020 07:39

@DKDK123 please, do understand that I am very good at giving sensible advice, not so at following myself🤣
I have a stinky cold and feel rubbish

DKDK123 · 23/09/2020 07:44

@Franklydear think we're all guilty of being able to help others and not follow our own advice 🙈 Hope you're feeling better later.

Minster2012 · 23/09/2020 07:48

@DKDK123 really really hoping it stays for you and shows on the test, we know it's the crazy gang here!

@lucyrp I don't think it's a bad thing to know all the receptionists names 😂and least you e got things booked so you know when your bloods will be & keep saying "PROGESTERONE YESSS" when they take it 😳

@Hopeful110 there is still hope! 🤞🏻

Thank you ladies, DH more supportive this week. It's only the blood test this morning the lining scan this afternoon which is the biggie. But he remembered. Just doing quick dog walk then off fir round one of hospital visit 🤞🏻

Franklydear · 23/09/2020 07:53

@lucyrp there was a point that I was calling so often to the surgery that I didn’t need to say who I was😳

Catherinettc · 23/09/2020 07:56

Popping my head in to say goos luck @Minster2012 ❤ everything crossed for a nice thick juicy lining xxx

I'm still lurking girls 🤦‍♀️🤣 feel like I know u all so well now im not ready to leave any of you ❤ check daily to see how u all are lol xx

Chlo2701 · 23/09/2020 07:59

@Minster2012 I completely get why you're shitting it my darling!! I'll be thinking of you today! Sending you massive hugs, & I'll be keeping my toes & fingers crossed for you. Nobody deserves this more than you with everything you have gone through so I hope to god you get some good news! & like @DKDK123 says I really hope OH is more supportive this time.

@DKDK123 I'm sorry to hear that hun! If you think your eggs are shit are you taking COQ10? I'm nearly 36 & I think my eggs aren't great either so I've been on them for over 3 months, I also take DHA tablets aswel

I'm out all day today doing my granddaughter duties & taking my Nan clothes shopping🙈 but I'll try & check in & see how you get on @Minster2012, you're gona be in my thoughts all day!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🥰🥰🥰

Katao · 23/09/2020 08:18

Not fully caught up this morning but just wanted to don't give up hope @DKDK123 wasn't yesterday's bfp smu? Maybe your fmu is more diluted. Hold and test again with smu so youare comparing like with like. I completely understand why you are reserving hope but just bear with it for now, if its very early days a variation in your urine could make a big difference to the result.

DKDK123 · 23/09/2020 09:01

@Chlo2701 I've not taken them before, the only things I take are pregnacare and extra vitamin C, I didnt want to add too many extra things to the mix without speaking to the docs first incase they start to interact with each other in the wrong way, but I'll look into it.
Hope you have a good day shopping with your nan, make the most of as much quality time as possible with her incase we end up in another full scale lockdown again!

Thanks @Katao youre right yesterdays fmu was a negative and it was later in the day I got a positive. Im waiting on more FR arriving from amazon today so shall hold my wee and test later when they arrive.

Katao · 23/09/2020 09:14

@DKDK123 hope that gives you a more promising result. I really feel for you after being here3 times before. It must feel very uncertain.

@Minster2012 glad OH has upped his game 😉
@Catherinettc how are you getting on?

lucyrp · 23/09/2020 10:07

@DKDK123 I really hope it's showing ov!!

@Minster2012 honestly I'm so scared of going for my bloods next Monday I'm going to say progesterone so many times. Apparently the nurse has written in capital letters on the blood test form but we will see 🤣

@Franklydear omg hahah 🤣🤣

Catherinettc · 23/09/2020 10:32

@Katao hey I'm ok. Around 6 weeks now. Feel like crap 🤣🤣 like a massive hangover that won't go away 🤮

Have an early scan at epu next week so fingers crossed all is well.

Don't lose hope ladies. Im 37, only bd twice in fertile week (didn't think I had even ovulated) and then got my bfp xx

The family think it might be twins cos I found our so early (strong pos and digital o 7dpo), my symptoms are very strong and I'm showing already defo not further on as I had a scan last week for suspected ectopic and she found the tiniest sac so dates seem to add up this far xx

@Franklydear u have willpower unlike anyone i have known. I keep checking in to see if u have tested 🤣🤣 ps I had a cold around my bfp 😉 xxx
