Had some creamy thick cm there, opk showing nothing. Would the creamy cm be b4 ewcm?

@NestinginNL it's definitely dropping the BC, as I've been on it since I was 16 to manage my symptoms (diagnosed at 19). Ooh, that sounds exciting, although I agree, I'd be scared to drive a campervan. OH would have to be in charge! Although he has had the most recent accident...

@LBee2020 I know what you mean, I always wanted girls... until I realised what it entailed! Although as long as they're happy and healthy I don't mind too much.

@2alreadywantanother mine is usually after EWCM, but I've been charting it to keep an eye on it. When does it usually come for you?

@2020mission when the guy provides his contribution for the IVF they have a room with magazines and everything (imagine how many guys have touched that??) and then they have to find a nurse and give it in for THE FERTILSATION. Imagine the pressure on that wank 😂

@BellsB1 Ive got no idea. Still hoping there's the slimmest of chances it's something but realistically not.

@clolo def chase up your GP I don't know how it works specifically as we went hospital oncology straight to IVF unit.

@NestinginNL ooooooooo tiredness pretty common sign! 🤞🏻your one caffeinated drink just before you drive??

I've been with MIL all day today (no bad thing) and having previously moaned that a reason I want to have a baby for myself that I missed out on when friend carried DS is getting potential friends from the process. Having no pre birth stuff needed like swimming or yoga I then found it hard to fit in, DH has had same Mates since school (I lived elsewhere) & though I'm mates with some of the WAGS they have their own friend circle then friends from their babies & kids. MIL just randomly suggested I take up tennis at my local club which is good, like actually do lessons & join the club. I really wanted to say "well can't because pregnant" or "yeah maybe in 9 months" instead I had to just go "yeah maybe". Tennis plus IVF. Great.

@bellsb1 I think I normally get b4 and after. This is the 1st bit since my d&c which will be 2 wks tomorrow and u can ovulate 2 wks after. So started opks the other day. See if anything happening.

@LaceyMermaid I ov pretty early (cd11) so I wouldn't mind if it delayed it a bit! Certainly don't want it any earlier though. I have the 50mg ones coming so was gonna stick to this dose per day.
@Juno231 2 stone is what I need to lose as well, but I'm not doing anything to help that 😬
@Minster2012 will you go for another round then? Was it one embryo that you had left?

@notyetamumbuttrying that might work ok for you then you would probably ov later and lengthen your cycle. It’s always a risk though! But I’ve read so many people say they got their BFP taking it, some after a long long time of trying

You can tell the boys at work are used to my extravaganza when I say that I am hot and going to take some clothes off and nobody bats an eyelid, for the record, I came back still fully dressed

@2alreadywantanother yes we have one more frozen embryo & I won't rest until we've used that. Once that's gone I don't know

@Franklydear I'm not sure the guys would bat an eyelid if I said that either 😂

@Minster2012 #girlpower
They are definitely a bit scared of me

@notyetamumbuttrying Hahahaha I think mine does the same to be honest 😂

@BellsB1 yesss definitely, get some shagging in early girl!

@LaceyMermaid this is why I'm thinking I'll give it a go. It's kinda last chance saloon! Although it's Dh with the issue, but hopefully I can help with a stronger egg 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Vil10 😂 these poor men! Have you both gone for tests yet? It's liberating but also crushing at the same time when you find out something is wrong!

@notyetamumbuttrying no no, we're nowhere near that mark yet, I'm just being dramatic😂 this is only our 5th cycle of trying! I had those tests when I was getting pains, I had a load of blood tests for thyroid, female sex hormones etc but they were all perfect thankfully! OH gets free private health care with work and found out the other day he either gets it free or a voucher for fertility testing, so he actually said to me that he might get tested, saves us waiting another 7 months to be told somethings wrong, might as well find out now if there is anything!

@Vil10 ah still in the hazy days, I'm jel! How amazing that he gets that through work! Defo take advantage of it! Hopefully this month it is anyway with all the bonking you two have been doing 😉

@clolo I was expecting to wait 6 months for my referral but the doctor said it would only be 6 weeks give or take because of Covid

As for feeling tired these last two weeks I've been knackered by half 8ish

@Minster2012 😆 I reckon most wouldn't touch the magazines and just find something on their phones instead. I can't imagine feeling sexy and doing that in a clinical environment. How are you doing?

I honestly cannot wait for tomorrow night to have a completely guilt free drink while AF is still here. Long week!

@notyetamumbuttrying I took it at night time too but still got massive headaches and I took the lowest dose. So shit!! My cycle was absolutely perfect and I've gone and fucked it up soooo fed up with myself lol.

@notyetamumbuttrying @Juno231 Yeah losing weight is so hard I've never been a small girl honestly I have a frame like my dad quite big boned (it's the Italian haha) so I've always struggled especially with a mum who thought you was horrid unless you're like a size 8 😬😅 2 years ago I was at my smallest 12 stone at 5"7 and very strong, I did a lot of weight lifting. But I didn't have a life I didn't go out for dinners I ate like egg whites and spinach lol and I worked out twice a day (hence why my knees are fucked) so obviously with me it's all or nothing!
It's easier to lose weight when you're happy but I think if you comfort eat and love food and you're going. Through a stressful time its just way too difficult.

@Minster2012 @2020mission yeah my partner told me they couldn't give him magazines because of corona loooool he wasn't gonna use it anyway I guess that's the great thing about Internet and phones.

@laceymermaid yes that's why I took them thinking it may help :( but it only hindered. Now I'm like shoukd I take them again next cycle to try and set my cycle right? How would I make myself ovulate earlier by taking the pills earlier?

@clolo same! Thats all TTC is is waiting. I'm on CD33 of this cycle so god knows how long il he waiting this time. Last cycle was 48 so thought it would be shorter this time but I haven't ovulated yet I don't think 👀 just want my 30 day cycles baxj

@notyetamumbuttrying I know!! We only found out the other week whilst we were away, I was so happy! But I think I'd be so scared of the results coming back bad😩 haha I really hope so!! How's everything with you and DH??

@Missgoldilocks yes maybe you could do 2-6 or maybe don’t take any. So annoying I’m not sure if I’ve done the same yet with this cycle as no positive opk yet on cd 13 and I usually don’t seem to go until a few days after my positive Opk so may be in the same boat as you! I found 80 mg just made me ov earlier and gave me a proper AF which I hadn’t been having since coming off bc (I’d only been having spotting really)

@Missgoldilocks couldn't agree more re the weight loss being linked to happiness! This is the shittest time ever so it's really taking its toll! We've ordered a pizza that's due any minute as Dh is watching the football and fancied it, I had no willpower to say no lol! At least we're not guzzling beer as well I guess! 🤷🏾‍♀️
Your cycle will sort itself out btw, mines eventually gone bk to normal after taking too higher dose of Angus back in the summer.
My delivery of soya has been delayed, might take it as a sign! 😳

@Vil10 even if they do, sperm can be changed in 3 months with lifestyle changes, that's what I'm banking on anyway!! We're ok thanks. He's really taken to sorting himself out, apart from tonight's pizza! He even was ok with changing cows milk to oat so he is on board with most things. He's got his urologist appointment through now too and I have my smear the same week. It's nice that we're both doing things now, before it was always me! But the more I research, the more I think we'll need ivf so I'm slowly getting used to the idea. Have you and yours fully made up now? Back to bonkfest 2020? X

@Franklydear that would be nice!

@lucyrp boo to getting ill :(

@Minster2012 totally! I don't know how mine would react tbh but I can tell he's starting to feel very broody now 😫 feel you on the feeling like it's all you as well! It's frustrating isn't it.

@Missgoldilocks ahh so annoying! Out of curiosity, how come you took the soy? Do you know if it works for pcos? I'm taking inositol at the moment but not convinced it's doing anything anymore... and for £32 a pot I don't really want to keep using it if I don't have to!

@Amy00 hmm very weird with the positives! Is there a chance there's still a mass in there? Our friend had that and it took them a few weeks to find before anything happened to have it removed. So awful for you x

@Vil10 get spunked! Are you and oh ok now? X

@Juno231 oh no way mine is on the 26th haha. Let's hope it gets the ball rolling for us both 🤞🏼

@2020mission we're past a year in ttc now and I have pcos so they're moving us along with the SA and other stuff. I'm sure it's worth just asking if he could have one though? He just has to spunk in the pot and then take it to the drop off at hospital/ surgery within 30 mins :)

@clolo keep pestering them x

So, I always seem to get ov pain or cyst related pain in my right ovary. Never feel anything in the left, but I used to always feel them alternate each month before I went on the pill. Is it possible my left ovary doesn't work anymore? I'm really scared about that 😢
