Thought I'd kick this off...

CD 7 for me following 2nd mc 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ready to kick the new year off with a bang (not literally, sorry husband), and get a blimin bun in the oven already!
Come on ladies, let's get each other through this. BFP's coming our way soon I just know it 😘💪🙌xx

@Dogmum13 it still might be! Sending baby dust ✨

MgW1 · 10/01/2021 19:06

@Dogmum13
I got a bfn as well today , having a gin and tonic now to help ! X

Dogmum13 · 10/01/2021 19:14

@MgW1 aww at least you can relax for a bit now. I don't drink or I would do the same plus I feel really nauseous so probably wouldn't be a good idea 🤦‍♀️

Dogmum13 · 10/01/2021 19:16

@Tara1711 thanks, sending you baby dust too xx

MgW1 · 10/01/2021 19:24

@Dogmum13
Do you normally get nauseous before AF? X

Dogmum13 · 10/01/2021 19:39

@MgW1 I'd get nauseous occasionally throughout the cycle but not like this. I also have a really sore head and feel like the room is spinning even when sitting down. I haven't felt right for a few days now. I had some slight cramps earlier but haven't came to anything yet

Dogmum13 · 10/01/2021 19:40

I was hoping I'd feel better today but actually feel worse

Dogmum13 · 10/01/2021 20:01

Forgot to mention I've got sore boobs and been having hot flushes too. Looking at the symptoms I'd tell anyone else I think it's good signs but wouldn't be the first time I've had loads of symptoms and been bfn

BabyAR22 · 10/01/2021 20:57

@Dogmum13

Sounding really good!!

MgW1 · 10/01/2021 21:13

@Dogmum13
Have you done a cheapy test ir frer? X

MgW1 · 10/01/2021 21:24

@Dogmum13
Every time i have been preg I have always have creamy coloured cm. I think when your hornones raise to such a point to get a pregnancy going , your body produces more of it so have a look for it!! Some women get similar before AF but i never have x

Dogmum13 · 10/01/2021 21:45

Thanks @BabyAR22

@MgW1 the easy@home ones just. I only get ewcm at ovulation. The rest of the time I get nothing or nearly nothing. It can actually be uncomfortable to wipe to see if there's anything there it's that dry 🙈

LAgeDeRaisin · 10/01/2021 22:35

@Tara1711 on Wednesday but I've lost any hope of a BFP

LikeSomeKindOfMadness · 10/01/2021 22:45

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I think you're right. I think it's just weird as I had a good idea what was happening last time and not now. Next month I may just do one every day to get to know my cycles better. Is there a best time to do them? I've just been doing them randomly.

@Dogmum13 I'm not surprised you are emotionally drained.

@MgW1 my CM changed and increased during pregnancy too. Not something people tell you about normally but definitely different.

MgW1 · 10/01/2021 22:51

@dogmum13
When is your apt with fertility clinic? I think you told me last bus? Xxx

Dogmum13 · 10/01/2021 23:54

@MgW1 need to make one but its just with my gp for basic tests. I don't know if they will do it atm with lockdown

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 11/01/2021 06:33

@LikeSomeKindOfMadness I think they say to try and do them at a similar time each day so you don't miss peak. After opk'ing a while, I think I only seem to peak for 1day, and even then it's not a super bold line like the test box shows but it's bolder than the rest of the month. I aim for about 2pm just because I drink quite a lot of water during the day, but probably least over lunch so it gives me slightly stronger wee. 🤷‍♀️
My app keeps on updating and pushing ovulation date back. It reckons CD 19 now which is totally off from normal. Really hoping it's right as the alternative is just that I won't ov at all...and as much as I enjoy dtd, that's a lot of effort for nothing!!!
I've had a go at tracking my cervix position over the last 4 days which I've never done before. I thought it would be difficult or messy but it's been really insightful!! On Thursday it was SO low and has slowly moved up...then last night I couldn't even find it as it must be so high so fingers crossed that's a good sign 🤞x

Another bfn today at 15dpo so I imagine af will show up today. Knew it would be too good to be true hoping these symptoms were pregnancy symptoms 😢 Hopefully it will happen within the next 6 months

MgW1 · 11/01/2021 07:35

@Dogmum13
I bet they still will , I know quite a few people who have taken longer than a year ttc first , you will get there x

Dogmum13 · 11/01/2021 07:43

@MgW1 thank you. The main thing that concerns me is the fact that I haven't even had any chemicals or mc in the 13 months. I know I'm really lucky not to have gone through them but at the same time I'd just like to know if I can even get pregnant 😔

MgW1 · 11/01/2021 08:26

@Dogmum13
I think though as the months go by you start to get stressed by it which affects fertility x

33Carr · 11/01/2021 09:05

Hi everyone! Just checking in, ovulation day today 😬 kind of following the SMEP so DTD last night (got a positive OPK) and hopefully will again tonight (long day at work - won't be home until 9pm 😩) and again tomorrow! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I've been loosely tracking my cervix position, mainly when AF is due and I don't want to POAS!!

How is everyone else getting on?

Dogmum13 · 11/01/2021 09:16

@MgW1 yes very much so. Dp is very stressed about it too which doesn't help along with all of the stresses covid brings too. He's convinced it's him because he's only got the one testicle but I'm not so convinced. Better get booked in for these tests, I think we'd feel less stressed if we knew the initial tests came back OK xx

Tara1711 · 11/01/2021 09:43

@Dogmum13 my OH only has one testicle as well, from what I've researched the one should make up for the both of them? My OH had testicular cancer when he was 16 hence why he only has the one now.

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I have also been tracking cervical position! It definitely gives you a good idea as to what is going on

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 11/01/2021 09:46

@Tara1711 I've found it fascinating! I can't believe I'm 36 and am only just finding these things out about my own body! 🤣x
