Sorry I've been quiet guys, had a few things to sort :-) My GTT test was clear however I have pre eclampsia 🤦‍♀️

@Supermathsdoc I'm so glad you have a date for the polyp to be removed! I hopenits not an awful procedure and it's very quick for you!! Such good news!

@RBCoxie hope you are ok, time seems to be flying past! Are you 9dpo ?

Go @Imworthit! I'm back down to 6mg of nicotine lozenges a day now. (Give or take general work madness and making out like I have the patience of a saint 🙄)

@MummyToPrince Yay, followed by oh bo**ox! Good that it was picked up early though. How long until your next MW apt? The gap can be pretty long at this stage, right?

@Imworthit 8lbs during lockdown is awesome! Well done to you! I gained 5kg in the first lockdown, managed to eventually shed it all with running, then promptly put it back on over Christmas! Making super slow progress at the moment.

@MummyToPrince oh no, talk about good news and bad news, I hope you’re doing ok.

@BellaBella36 I’m so impressed with you and anyone who is achieving during these times, I’m finding it so hard but you’re very inspiring! Xx

@Imworthit thank you - and congrats on 8lbs down! That's a great achievement.

@MummyToPrince so sorry to hear about your result but good news for the GTT! It's good that it's been picked up now as they'll be able to monitor you closely from now on. Yep 9DPO today and feeling completely normal 😂 zero symptoms to speak of whatsoever. My fault for rushing into it I guess - just really thought with this extra fertility it would have been a good thing!

@BellaBella36 I'm consultant led care I have to see them twice a month and the midwife i now see fortnightly, if I didn't have pre eclampsia I would need to see the MW for another 7 weeks! I should have expected it as I had it bad with my son. You are doing amazing with those nicotine lozenges :-)

@Supermathsdoc I'm good, I should have known I'd get it again i had it bad with my son, they've said if it gets too bad baby might have to be delivered around 36 weeks, I'm hoping not. How are you?

@Imworthit well done on the weight loss :-)

@RBCoxie I felt fine apart from that really bad cramping we both had ... Will you test or wait it out and see what happens ?

@MummyToPrince yeah I was really relying on the AF cramps because I remember we both had them bad, but I've had nothing 😔 I haven't tested but still using OPKs and they're not even remotely getting darker. 10DPO today - last time I got a BFP today but know that different pregnancies can be different so I may have implanted earlier last time. Trying to stay positive but also not clutch at straws. Husband thinks that it was just too early after the MC.

How is everyone getting on ? X

@MummyToPrince AF arrived yesterday and wow has it come with full force. Absolutely no pain, which is very odd for me, but it's incredibly heavy, in fact thinking about it it's probably the same as what the MC was like! I'm not surprised I didn't get a BFP this month - I think my body needed this as it's certainly not a normal period. Here's hoping February will be better news! 🤞🏼 how're you doing?

@RBCoxie To be honest you took the words right out of my mouth, I agree and think this is what your body needed (a clear out) sorry that sounds awful 🤦‍♀️ I have everything crossed for you :-) I get so excited to see opks and tests haha!! .. Remember not to put so much pressure on yourself though! I'm doing good thank you, will be even better if I wasn't still struggling with sickness but I shouldn't grumble! 1 week today and we find out the gender x

@MummyToPrince yeah totally! I completely agree it's what my body needed. Haha thank you - I'll be sure to keep you updated with the OPKs and tests! Ah 1 week! That's so exciting - do you have any idea of what you may be having? x

Sorry for yet another name change! I made the mistake at looking at other mumsnet threads 🤦‍♀️

Being not so great with the app, I found the easiest was to stop all the notifications was to delete my account and rejoin. Again 🙄

Total tech fail!

@BellaBella1984 the notifications come through fast on those other groups don't they! I've given up trying to keep up 😂 how're you doing?

Period here again but feeling really surprisingly good this month. The health kicks going well and that’s keeping me positive. Still impossible to get through to my doctor but at least by the time I do I won’t get fobbed off with ‘lifestyle issues’....will probably be a year by that point and they’ll have to take me more seriously. Anyway just checking in hope everyone’s doing well ❤️

Yay it's half term annual leave! No more hours walk in the snow to get to work, no more on call. And our hospital lost one of it's own. So seriously, last week can get to f**k!

@RBCoxie Apart from that I'm alright! Back to peeing on sticks at the crack of tw*t to look at smiley faces 🙄

@Imworthit Glad to hear you health kick's going well, did you get fobbed off with lifestyle stuff before? I'm trying to get down to 4mg nicotine a day this week, I'm a delight!

@BellaBella1984 hope you've had a great week off! So sorry to hear about your week last weeks. I'm exactly the same with the OPKs - got my peak yesterday so two week wait starts from tomorrow - the joys!

@Imworthit great to hear your health kick is going well!

@MummyToPrince did you find out your baby's sex? So excited for you!

@RBCoxie hiya lovely, yes we are having another boy :-) I'm 20 weeks today, found out last week they got my gtt test results wrong and I do have gestational diabetes but on the plus side the sickness has finally stopped!!

How are you?

@MummyToPrince congratulations!! I bet your little boy will be super excited to have a partner in crime!

Sorry I’ve been so quiet - I took a month off TTC for this polyp removal, which I’ve just had today. Was super uncomfortable but it’s done now and once I’m all healed I can start trying again!

How are you all doing? X

@MummyToPrince ah that's so exciting!! Congratulations! I'm so sorry to her about your GTT results - at least they've picked it up now and you they can monitor you correctly now!

@Supermathsdoc amazing news that you've had the polyp removed - how long is the healing process? Very excited for you!

I'm good thanks - 1DPO today and 100% ovulated this month! Much better peak than last month and had ovulation pain too so feeling much more positive. We've DTD every day over the fertile window too so definitely covered! Now the wait begins...

Static smiley peak today, I'm off to find something slinky! 🤞

@MummyToPrince So sorry to hear about the GD with the pre eclampsia too. Did you have both last time round? Glad that anomaly scan went well though. That feels like it's come around so soon!

@Supermathsdoc Your hospital moved quick with your polyp, that's fantastic that you won't miss too many more cycles. What the plan for the IUI now?

@RBCoxie 🤞 When are you planning to test? I feel so chill for my week off, don't think I'd realised how much I needed it.

@Imworthit Are we allowed to ask how many lbs you're down now? I'm 12lbs down and managed a full week with just 4x 1mg lozenges. Did go back up to 2 cups of coffee though, but it was the holidays! 😁

@BellaBella1984 ah that's so exciting! I have everything crossed that this is our month again 🤞🏼 how're you feeling about trying again? I'm having quite bad ovulation pain which has lasted a few days now - did you have worse ovulation pain after you MC? Not sure on a testing date - I'm going to keep going with the OPKs which tend to curb my testing mania (and I have about 100 of them in the house 😂) so if those start to increase again then I'll test - if not, I'll wait until around 12DPO I think.

@RBCoxie @BellaBella1984 everything crossed for you both this month!
Yes I'm incredibly thankful for how quickly they moved, it means I can have a few more tries before IUI. They quarantine the sperm for 4 months so I think it will be April/May before I can do that.

The doctor wasnt too sure about when I should start trying again, she said to let the lining completely shed and then re-grow. Im still bleeding and predicted to ovulate next week on Sunday... Im in 2 minds but my donor says he's available....

Me trying to stay calm as if this is some magic aid to conception...🧘‍♀️

Also me trying to stay calm..."what do you mean I'm coordinating 3 lists today and why is there a patient bleeding out in my recovery?!"

(I totally went over my 4 nicotine lozenge limit 🤦‍♀️)

Testing on March 6th if my period hasn't arrived by then. @RBCoxie when do you plan to transition from OPKs to HPTs?

@Supermathsdoc It's always good to hear how optimistic you are ❤️

@BellaBella1984 I totally sympathise with that! Staying calm has not been my strong point this month. Well, I'm already out this month. Unfortunately what I thought was severe ovulation pain has turned out to be a cyst on my ovary. I've got another scan booked in for after my next period but she said the cyst is filled with a blood clot so it's unlikely I ovulated - I suppose I could have ovulated from a different follicle but certainly not this one that's turned into a cyst. So testing is out the window and just focusing on getting AF so I can have a follow up scan.

Just when I thought things were returning to normal 😔
