@Vil10 another one being so sensible about testing 😀 jope afstays away!

@Katao I bought loads religiously for a few months ina. Row then I got bored 😂 I lied I actually have some one step ICs in the cupboard but I quite like to test with actual tests I'm a bit of a snob so I probbalt won't use them😂

@Vil10 thanks! Il pray you get a normal cycle this time too!

@lucyrp ya I'm getting to that bored stage too. Cd6 and trying to decide if I'll bother starting opks in a couple of days or not

@lucyrp did you take your temp again? Basically one day my temp had a huge dip and I didn't believe it, took it again straight away and it was high. So I recorded the high one. Think my thermometer just went wacky or something. 🤞🤞 your is the same!

@blodyn91 I did and it was 36.19 the first time and 36.27 the next so I'm not too sure 😂🙈

@Katao it really doesn't excite me anymore and I don't bother as I always seem to get Hugh readings and get more stressed out trying to work out if there's any change etc so I just leave them now 😂

I got a very faint line on the preg tests yesterday afternoon and first wee this morning 😍. I hope it sticks. I feel like the early pregnancy symptoms are starting to kick in now though so fingers crossed. I have three kids already but it’s my partner’s first experience of living with a pregnant woman so I’m trying not to be too moody / obsessed 😆. It was my first bus and I totally lost track as had a busy week 😔. Best wishes to everyone 🤞

@notyetamumbuttrying ummm sorry but that doctor needs a slap. So my sister is private and he was like okay good news is that there is sperm but it would take ages for you to concieve and due to your age just go straight for IVF, there is no point in IUI because the success rate is so low. That's why they've gone straight to IVF because my sister is like 33 too! And it could be low sperm count because of the some sort of injury he sustained etc who knows. If I was you though I'd be pushing for the ivf, one of them you pay and like you get unlimited goes and if you don't get pregnant they refund you but I can't remember the name! X

@Vil10 why on earth didn't you at least view it you silly moo!! 🤦🏼‍♀️you gotta at least see if you like things!! Doh 😫

@2020mission thank you! I'm actually lying here, next to an indoor poor on a Lounger with sun streaming through the window on me. I'm totally imagining I'm on a beach somewhere not in Yorkshire...where are you then if you say up north they haven't opened? I'm yorkshire & def open here 🙌🏻yay for the non OPK relaxed approach. Just don't forget the chocolate, though I'm starting to lose faith in it ladies as I've eaten shitloads of the stuff & no baby 🤔🙄

@Juno231 I was going to ask you how your place was getting on after you went sofa & bed shopping! So not ordered yet? But you did all that testing! I was thinking the other day about that mattress company that did the advert for 100 nights great sleep or your money back...I can't imagine anything worse than sending a mattress back I've slept on for 100 nights, shagged on etc URGH how many ppl do you think do that???

@lucyrp when is your next appointment?

@Mosherchick have you had any more spotting?

@Gem176 welcome! Don't worry we all feel like that, confused, & like it should be easy but nope 😫😩they lie!

OMG I missed @Savethechubbyunicorns congrats 🥰🎉😩❤️

@Missgoldilocks ACCESS fertility is the "unlimited IVF til you get a baby of your money back" I'm not sure who that was for? In Leeds it's around £7000 but you have to sign up before age 40. A "normal" round of a fresh K C transfer at my private clinic in Hull is around £4000-4500 depending on how much drugs you need?

@Missgoldilocks tell me about it! I was like, you fucking dick! I got a second opinion the next day but he was on the optimistic side too, at least we got the referral tho! His counts not only bad but the shape and speed of them too so no idea why ivf just wasn't mentioned. Thing is, you need to be ttc for two years to get it on the nhs and I'm too old for waiting another 11 months so it'll be private for us. Yes, have heard about that refund thing but probs gonna go with care London. I agreed to let hubby try and improve his results so we'll have a repeat SA in Nov and if still shit, get an initial appointment for ivf in dec. 😬 so just twiddling my thumbs for now and sending you guys well timed memes when required 😂

Ahhh @Skip86 so gutted for you but welcome back to the crazy bus 😍

Congratulations @Mrsbear1122

@Minster2012 I'm so glad youre pampering yourself! It sounds lovely despite the circumstances. Oh, this morning I thought it was all over. I started spotting a little again and it was darker red. So I had a cry and chatted to my Mum (who is super supportive, and the only one who knows we're trying), and then this afternoon realised that my pad is clean. I'm not bleeding anymore, and now don't know what to think. The only way I feel remotely different to my normal self is tender boobs and higher temperature than normal. Like, I'm warm all the time. I'm only 9DPO today but Flo thinks AF is due tomorrow, as I ovulated late.

Sorry for rambling on, I really needed to get that off my chest.

@notyetamumbuttrying mate you're better than I, I'd be like you think I'm waiting bitchhhh you best cough up my friend 😂😂 well it's not that far away at least! I had some good news today the hospital rang me and said would I like to be placed in another hospital with less wait time ummm yes please!!! So just waiting on when they give me an appointment

@Minster2012 thanks for the clarity on that for some reason I thought it was create! Hope you're doing okay lovely xx

@Missgoldilocks that's BRILLIANT on the hospital front!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻and it might be Create Too, they might do one, access for all around the country, create might be more local 🤷‍♀️. I think @notyetamumbuttrying is very patient too but I think your hubby is doing really well @notyetamumbuttrying so that's great, he deserves some leeway

@Mosherchick don't apologies at all, that's what we are here for. We NEED to let it out, especially cos not many ppl IRL know what we are all doing which makes it harder. I said this to my friend yesterday. I needed to process this MYSELF & face the fact it's another go for is, & the last one in the freezer coming up because there's only like her, DH & one other Mumsnet friend that's now RL friend that knows. The problem with keeping it a secret is that when you are sad, angry & hurting no one knows why. I want to tell ppl AFTER the fact bit it's pointless. So we know darling. We know we all need that. That's why we are here 😘😩and I'm really pleased that it was only a bit & so still 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻you aren't out yet love

@Missgoldilocks lol! I wanted to be like that, but gotta give the poor bloke a chance don't I 😆 @Minster2012 is right, he is doing well so gotta see if it does anything and I'm not thrilled about being pumped full of drugs so if natural works then I'm defo all for that, I just don't see it ever working, well not in my timeframe anyway! It's a shame I just didn't come off contraception 4 years ago when we moved in together, timing might've worked well then, but whose to know the future eh!
OMG that news is awesome!! You must be buzzing now 🐝

@Mosherchick this could very well be implantation bleeding. Can you wait 48 hours and test with an early test? Hcg increases every 48 hours. You can update your Flo to put in your ov date, it'll then shift AF for you. So much luck honey!

@Minster2012 Thank you, that means a lot. You are all so nice here. I'm not quite where you are yet, but being here amongst people who are all in the same boat makes all the difference.

@notyetamumbuttrying I would love to think that this is implantation. But I had pink spotting 4DPO, 5DPO and 6DPO which I assumed was early implantation. Maybe it was cervical irritation?

Lots of messages on here today!

@notyetamumbuttrying I’ve literally just got home from being at Care London this afternoon, they’re fab! Highly recommend. We went there for our initial investigations too and again so helpful!

@Juno231 I’m very well thanks! How’s all with you?

@Missgoldilocks thanks for letting me know about your HyCoSy :) how long ago did you have yours?

My HyCoSy went well, good tubes apparently and no issues, I said “great! But then WHY isn’t anything happening” (like a maniac) and got a bit emosh 🙈 she said sometimes it can take up to 2 years for no reason. Not sure I can do another 10months but I’ll take the good news today that my tubes are open for business and try to keep positive🤍

@Minster2012 I haven't got a date yet I think @Katao was just saying it would be nice if I got a BFP before I had my referral 🙈

@Clapham4 I get that. I think not having something to blame and fix often feels worse.

@Mosherchick why do our bodies love to play mind games with us 🙈 Total Fuck Boys!

@Minster2012 that sounds lovely! I'm scratching my head now after having a look... maybe the spas are open here. I'm in Glasgow, central Scotland so just assumed they are closed as all of the bars and restaurants are closed. All I can see is "No group exercise classes for indoor gyms, sports courts, pools". I'm probably safest to wait until they lift restrictions before looking to book anything though 😆 definitely stocking up on chocolate and wine to keep me entertained at home

@Clapham4 glad the hycosy went well & your tubes look good, it's just a bigger nothings happened in the time & yeah I would get Emosh too 😫🤦🏼‍♀️ no shame in that

@Mosherchick let's all hope it's implantation 🤞🏻

@lucyrp ahhhhh I get it on the appointment we all hoping that too 🤞🏻

Yeah see what you mean @2020mission, put it down for the future, I literally have done FUCK ALL (ok I have gone to the gym a bit!)

In the mean time have a little bit of a sex quiz

@Katao I mean it'll probably change when I start crazy symptom spotting again!!

@lucyrp let's pray for both of us😂

@Minster2012 we weren't sure whether it was too much out of price range and I'm very much a person if I see something I like then my hearts set on it, but then we realised we could afford it and not be stretching or skint, then by that time it was too late😩

@Savethechubbyunicorns ahhh congrats!!!
