@Minster2012 your antics 😂😂 how're you feeling today? I cannot believe it just slid out, however I'm confident it was the lube..

Sorry I've been MIA, my body has rejected AF coming and made me feel so shitty for the last 2.5 days. I can finally see straight though, so looking forward to FW and getting as much action as @Vil10 did on holiday!

@Juno231, 27th isn't too long to wait!

I've probably missed plenty, couldn't believe how many pages we were on when I jumped back on!

@Vil10 ooh I love those kinda sessions!! Glad you're getting all the shagging in! Bfp is on the horizon!!
@lilacflower12 it's shit here too and also puts me in a bad mood! Prob doesn't help that I'm on as well 😂
@Missgoldilocks I've got soya on the way and was gonna try them this month, been putting it off cos I'm scared of a change in cycle like the agnus did a few months bk! Plus our issue is with Dh rather than me, so should I mess with me anymore?! 😬 hope you ov soon! I was gonna take it days 5-9 for a stronger egg, when did you take it?

@SarahTTC2020 I hope so too🤞🏼

@BellsB1 yesss you get that shagging done girl!!

@notyetamumbuttrying I feel like he deposited so much spunk I'm not even joking!!

Haha 🤣 @Vil10!!! Mine has a lot as well, shame most of them swim in circles and backwards tho 😳🤪

@Vil10, I mean I've still got a week o3 so to wait as I'm only on CD3, but still something to look forward to 😂

Perfect time for OHs deposit 🤞🤞 glad you've made up!!

Just checking in, hope ur all keeping well. Was hoping to start seeing bfp on here, they are very few arent they.
I've started doing opks ad seeming I might ovulate 2 wks after d&c so might as well try.
Other than that nothing to report
@amy00 hope u get ur leak sorted. We had a leak 8mths after moving in to ours and had to rip up floors and all. Was a house insurance job thankfully. And I got the new tiles I was after 🙈

@Juno231 yep that's me, pessaries sliding happily down a water slide after they've been through the vagina tunnel 😂I'm actually just pleased I spotted it so I didn't sleep in them making a gooey mess on the bedding I changed yesterday 😂

@BellsB1 thank you I'm feeling ok overall I kind of just had to block it out but I've had shooting pains again and most things have been on my right side so it's just so weird how it can all be because of nothing specifically on one side?? Bizarre l. How has your body rejected AF coming? Are you ok?

@2alreadywantanother so now you are sex starved you can have your bonkfest!!

@minster2012 u know it. Lol
I have to say DH is normally a horn ball and actually coping okay because he knows he would drive me mad and that wouldn't be fair. 🙈 but be glad to get back to normality as such

How are you ladies getting your men booked in for semen analysis? I thought you'd have to be beyond a year of TTC before the GP would do that.. also I think I'd struggle to convince my husband to do it in the first place 😆

@2020mission it's a year if you're under 35. Mine could see how upset I was getting every month so wanted to do it so that we had answers. You could always make the appointment for him if you have the same drs surgery.

Thanks for letting me know. I assumed the process was I'd go in after a year and they'd test me first incase it's simply a hormone imbalance and something easily fixed at my end.

One more question... do the men get sent to the toilet with their container to provide the sample in the surgery 😂 imagine the pressure.

@Minster2012 does sound very strange that it's all at one side, bloody body! I'm usually ill with AF with endo, but this month has been a whole other level puking, dizzy, falling over. God knows what my body is doing.. I hope it isn't planning on staying like this for future AFs!

I can't imagine the pressure of providing SA, I think I'd definitely have performance issues 😂

@clolo I'd chase up the gp and ask for the referral info so that you can chase yourself. We were referred last month and have had the first appointment through today which is for Dh's urologist appointment. I'm expecting the fertility one any day now. We didn't have to chase up.

@2020mission they test you both. You'll have scans and bloods, he'll have a semen analysis.
Most get given a pot and do it at home and have to give it in within an hour. Mine got to do at the hospital as they gave him the wrong pot. No mad dash on the tube that way too!! That wouldn't have been fun for him

@notyetamumbuttrying I really wouldn't do it, it gave me massive headaches too! It's not worth it if your cycle is fine! I took it days 3-7 fucking fuming mate honestly! Plus I have no more opks left to see what's going on lol gotta keep checking my cervix haha 😬 I feel like this process has just battered me lol and all I do is diet then eat loads because I'm sad and food makes me happy but being fat doesn't make me happy 😤😤😤😤😤😤 lol the way this frustration is set up I feel like I'm coming on!!

Obvi it's up to you but just be careful with the soy x

@BellsB1 that’s miserable ❤️ Have you had any treatment for your endo? I was told I had to stay on BC after my lap to stop it coming back but now I’m becoming determined to try and stay off and do it naturally 😣

I am EXHAUSTED. I keep getting to about 3pm and just crashing. I just paid an invoice to an old account number, my brain is mush 😣 I really hope I’m pregnant and that’s the cause, getting a bit worried about the 1800km drive this weekend, I need to perk up before then.

@nestinginNL hope so. I was like that when pregnant there. Hit 3pm and have to have a snooze

@NestinginNL I've had laparoscopies, excisions, chemical menopause, and the Mirena for 8 years, but have come of BC to TTC. I think it's because I'm not on any medical management that it's coming back, being a woman is a bitch sometimes 😂

When will you be testing, 🤞 it's a BFP! That's a long drive, get OH to drive and nap in the passenger seat!

@2alreadywantanother that sounds promising for me! Could also just be the crap weather though. It’s nap weather.

@BellsB1 miserable for you 😩 I was wondering if it was coming off BC making it worse for you. I’m 9dpo right now, trying to hold off testing until AF is due, so the 14th. It’s 20 hours of driving! And in a 6 1/2 metre camper van, my old car was tiny and I struggle to drive large SUVs even and I’m super out of practice as we sold my car when we moved here. So I need my brain or he might just have to do more of the driving 😅 bit terrified to drive it tbh!

@Missgoldilocks 😬😬😬 I heard to take it at night cos of the side effects. Bloody spent £16 on them as well as ordered off amazon 🙄 yeah I'm in that cycle too!! I'm so fat compared to last year, I attempt to lose it for all of a week then just go bk to my bad ways!

@notyetamumbuttrying I wouldn’t take soy if your cycle is regular, it’s for if your cycle isn’t regular or you ov late. I definitely wouldn’t take it 5-9 if you don’t want to push back ovulation
@Missgoldilocks I took 3-7 last cycle (only 80mg) and I ov’ed 5 days earlier than I had been. Still waiting to see what happens this month I’m CD13 so hoping I didn’t delay it this month. I took 80 80 80 160 160 😬 It really made my temp chart better last month and I had a clear spike so I was hoping if I upped it a bit it would be ok

@Missgoldilocks @notyetamumbuttrying I want to lose like 2 stone but caaaan't get myself in gear. I just fall off the wagon all the time.

@BellsB1 Being a woman does suck! I always thought I wanted daughters but with all the hardship of periods, fertility and menopause I'm starting to think I'd rather have boys!!!

I'm on CD 22. Nothing to report. I've had cramps for a few days but I feel like I have them on and off consistently for all the time I'm not on AF.

Really sorry to those who have had BFNs this week. I hope you are all being kind to yourself (and not in a health food kind of way!) X
