@Minster2012 I hope so. Those 4 hours of thinking I was pregnant made me realise how much I would like it this month in particular, timing wise.

@2alreadywantanother oh no! I really do feel like everyone is announcing pregnancies right now. Hope the dentist wasn't too awful, I need to go at some point.

Hopefully we'll get many more BFPs this month!

Stopping my mopey procrastination now and getting back to prepping for the trip and happy thoughts.

@Sausage1990 just saw your post it sounds like you had a tough couple of days but I'm glad to hear you've got through it and with time you will be feeling better I'm sure. Thanks for sharing the details it's interesting to hear what happens with a MMC. Hopefully you'll be back in the grad bus soon. There's certainly been a few people around here that got pregnant again very soon after 🤞

Minster2012 · 09/10/2020 14:58

@Katao keep pushing you shouldn't need to put it off, you would be entitled to support to try and help you ovulate, I don't know about all the drugs but def push for action. One thing I've learnt in this world, if you don't keep following up then nothing much happens

Juno231 · 09/10/2020 15:10

@Pebbleinthesand welcome! I've added your testing to the spreadsheet
@Mosherchick welcome as well! Did you have a test date as well you'd like me to add to the list?

@NestinginNL Congratulations! Joining us on the bus must've done the trick Grin

@Minster2012 I'll see what she suggests. I know what you mean about pushing but I've alqaysfound her very proactive. I'm just not sure what I want or am willing to try....I'm not keen to try clomid in case I end up with twins 😂

NestinginNL · 09/10/2020 15:19

@Juno231 it was a very sleepy false alarm sadly (see my comment on the last page) but I'm not out for the month yet! Still on the bus.

Missgoldilocks · 09/10/2020 15:20

@katao there is one called femara or letrozole I think. Its called? Its actually a cancer drug but they use it for fertility too if works like clomid!!

@Minster2012 oh yes I forgot about that one baby or no pay! I was looking at a finance option 10 grand for 3 cycles of ivf so I have no clue right now. I'm trying to push for it now but oh isn't having any of it till january lol

Minster2012 · 09/10/2020 15:27

@Katao ohhh does clomid often increase twins?

@Missgoldilocks that's a lot more than our area though, even for the access one. Explain to OH that even when you make a decision & start with IVF it takes a couple of months (maybe) to start things so all time now sorting/deciding actually takes it off the "end" time when you are waiting for your cycles

Katao · 09/10/2020 15:41

@Missgoldilocks could be one of those maybe, the nurse even said the name of it again to me today but it didn't stick in my head 😂 I'll write it down next time!
@Minster2012 ya I Googled it last month when I did the first lot of bloods and it increases the chance of twins by something like 10 times more likely 😬 still not hugely likely but a lot more likely and twins scare me 😂😂 I think it would be lovely when they get older but the thought of 2 newborns is so overwhelming!

Mosherchick · 09/10/2020 16:17

@Juno231 Thank you! Yes, if AF doesn't show before, I'll be testing on the 18th October.

Minster2012 · 09/10/2020 18:10

@Katao wow I didn't know that! But tbh if it was my first child I would mind twins, get it out of the way, ready made mate. It scares me rotten the thought of going back to sleepless nights with a hyperactive toddler 😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/10/2020 18:45

I'm gonna provide the memes tonight! Incoming...

Franklydear · 09/10/2020 19:01

@Missgoldilocks great news!
@Minster2012 that’s fab, it will come in handy, tbh the only people that really would press me about not drinking would be my bestie, and I am planning to tell her early, I need to get dh on board, but my logic is if I miscarriage I’ll tell her for support, so...
@NestinginNL don’t be daft, don’t go anywhere, we’ve done worst...if we all go then who do we talk to?
@Katao I’m the same, so I just put af date in the diary and come here for the banter, we talk so much more than ttc, and if anything, people have reminded me I am meant to be chilled if I start obsessing

LaceyMermaid · 09/10/2020 19:03

@katao have you thought of trying soy isoflavones? Might be worth asking your go for advice. They’re meant to be like ‘natures clomid’. Your symptoms of light AF plus not sure you are ovulating every month could be kickstarted by them. Since I’ve taken them I’ve had stronger earlier ov and far more normal flow AF. Might be worth some thought.

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/10/2020 19:07

Argh the worst ones! 😖

Was on a weekly work video call today and they announced someone in the office is pregnant... had to keep a straight face on video while raging 😂 I've become so nasty.

Missgoldilocks · 09/10/2020 19:21

These memes are great 😂😂

@Franklydear thanks 🤗 It was such a rollercoaster of many emotions this morning 😅 going to check VERY carefully next time 😂😂

Missgoldilocks · 09/10/2020 19:47

@Minster2012 that's a good one! I should send it to my sister for a whole year she told me I needed to relax 😬😬😬😬

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/10/2020 19:48
