I have made a new thread as the last one is almost full. I hope this ok @apwilso and have added as many people as I could find to it.

@Tabbycat92 thank you. This is what I'm going to do. I just thought at 14dpo I would have seen it. Thanks for replying x

Well, she's here 😭 three days early. I'm actually gutted.
Ill be gone for a few weeks now until we are ready to try again.
Good luck all xx

@Tabbycat92 - really sorry to hear that, sending virtual hug.

@Misty84 if the egg isn’t fertilised the amount of progesterone the body produces goes down which correlates with a temperature decrease. Monitoring your temperature even after you ovulate can be one of the earliest signs of pregnancy xx

Thank you @Louise1051! I will continue monitoring.

So sorry @Tabbycat92, it really is the crappest feeling.

Good luck to those still in this month.
I’m on 6dpo.

@Tabbycat92 sorry to hear this!

I actually dunno what part of my cycle I'm on sooooo this is fun! I know it's roughly around ovulation so let's see how it goes!

So he got his results... sperm morphology of 3. Low? Anyone got any advice/ experience with this? Doctor gave no suggestions just to test in 3 months!?

Can we still have babies!?

@laura2093 I’ve just googled this which I assume you’ve probably done too...

The fact that the doctor wants to test again in 3 months make me think it can be improved? But no advice was given on how?! More googling to be done..!

Hello,

First i heard of this so like you guys I’m googling ... it says certain vitamins can help morphology, including vitamins C&E, Coenzyme Q10 and Lycopene. Perhaps worth a try?

Xx

@laura2093 I am not sure what is a normal level. Does your partner take vitamins ? I have also heard macca root is good for fertility in both male and female. I took this but make sure to stop in tww as it hasn't been tested on affecting pregnancies. Might be worth looking into.

How is everyone doing?x

I'm past ovulation now. Days unknown. So far nothing?! Usually my boobs are massive like there big anyway but swollen and melons. But feel normal. Extremely tired. Saturday ended up sleeping in till 11:45 which is unlike me so had nearly 14 hours sleep. Already been asleep on the couch tonight. Otherwise mild cramping which I put down the ovulation over the weekend. So it begins. I've told myself no pregnancy tests until I actually need to!!! Got a new pack of FRER (Amazon monthly delivery!) and I will not waste! Repeat! I will not waste them on 3dpo😂

How is everyone getting on? Mumsnet doesn't seem to send me notifications on this new phone so missing what's going on constantly lol

I had some pink spotting last week so went for a scan yesterday and fortunately everything was fine. I'm 9 weeks now. Baby was kicking his legs all over at the scan and wouldn't sit still for the sonographer to take a picture haha. You could even see his(or hers) little fingers and toes. It's definitely more baby like than when I had my 7 week scan

Hi @apwilso I am 11dpo so it’s either going to be a joyous or miserable weekend! Have had incredibly sore boobs since 3dpo. Your tiredness sounds like a good sign! Don’t know how I can handle disappointment again 😔
Had to attend a zoom baby shower a few days ago and everyone was either talking about their young children or pregnancies...I had nothing to offer. Just sat there thinking How did you all manage it?! Felt rubbish as usually I avoid all baby-related situations or chat but I had to sit through it all with a fake smile plastered on my face!

@Dex1521 awww how cute! Glad everything is okay with the baby though! How's it going!

@Misty84 that's gone quick! It is hard handling it all and it always seems to be the chat as well. In my office there talking about having their second babies etc and I'm like I'm trying for a first and not got anywhere as of yet! But I'm trying not to over think or get stressed because it will happen when it will happen. This is the best I've felt about it without all the constant testing and symptom inputting. Just the tiredness for me is the only thing I've clocked! It is hard but you never know what there experience was like which is what I overlook. Even though they have the end result I know plenty of women who were trying for years!xxx

@apwilso I’m glad you’ve felt less stressed this month, I wish I could say the same haha! Although I always seem to be generally ok and hopeful apart from the few days leading up to AF and then I can’t help the anxiety!

My temp plummeted this morn so I assume that’s me out. Getting really fed up of this now. Feel like I’m completely failing my OH. It’s so, so crap 😞

Hi @1992EM thank you so much for your positive news. It’s amazing to hear people who have been trying longer having success 💕 congratulations! I’ve been trying since May 2020 too so we are just going in to month 10 and I had lost hope of a natural pregnancy as was thinking something is definitely wrong. But your positive news gives me so much hope! Great to hear 🙌

@Misty84 I think it's the nervous thing. It's hard to relax!

@dex1521 ahh how cute . I am 6 weeks today. Feels like a lifetime until the scan .

@minibaker Thank you . I know exactly how you feel. I had lost all hope so it was a complete shock when I say a second line. Don't give up hope ❤

I hope everyone is well and fingers crossed we see some more BFP ❤

I caved at 6/7dpo and did a test knowing it would be negative!

@apwilso That’s very early!😛
I’m back to CD1 🙄

I know! Terrible me. Really not well today with cramping and stomach ache. Considering going home from work it's that bad. I feel as if I'm coming on my period but well too early

@apwilso If you feel terrible you should go home and look after yourself (although it’s Friday so maybe you can make it to the end of the day?!🤞)
I’ve had to take the day off as had bad side effects from the vaccine😟 That paired with cd2 heavy flow has not been fun at all!!

@Misty84 I've pushed through it so far not long now for me so gonna stay in. Oh god is it bad?x

@misty84 and @apwilso I hope you are both feeling better today 💓

@1992EM thanks I'm better now. Did a test today at about 9dpo negative. Other half thought he could see a vv faint line but disregarded it. Got a few days till af so we will see. Not convinced no other symptoms I know others have got positive after that but dunno never convinced now x

@apwilso hold off until 11/12dpo that is when I got a clear positive. Not everyone gets that though as depends on implantation which can happen up until 10dpo. I still don't really have symptoms other than being tired, tender boobs and the occasional nausea (only started in the last couple of days) and I am 6+3 so symptoms don't mean much. I also no someone who is 13 weeks and still has no symptoms and all is fine. I am glad you are feeling better and hopefully you get a BFP this month ❤ x
