Please tag anyone I’ve missed from the old thread.

I’m currently enjoying my first glass of wine in about 10 weeks. Will happily give up alcohol for a baby but no baby I need alcohol 😂

Really hope that’s the start of a BFP for you @Babyghirl let us know when you test in the morning.

@Annny27 Sorry it looks like AF has arrived.

@Nuggetlover27 Fingers crossed for a positive FW

@SLCxxx I’m in Scotland so sorry I couldn’t comment as I know it’s different up here. We feel pregnant July 2019 and mc the next month. We’ve had no luck since. I think it was October I had a blood test with the gp to check I was ovulating which I was. My partner had to register at our local gp as he hasn’t been to a doctors in about 10 years. That wasn’t straight forward and my partner is the same as yours itl happen when it happens etc 🙄 so was January before he had his sperm test. They said they wouldn’t go any further forward with me until the sperm sample. We got the results from they were done a couple of things a little low but they said they weren’t concerned. I had been dealing with a female gp who was great my partner got a male who gave the results snd said everything he wanted to hear give it another year, stop tracking just have sex every 2-3 days and stop using ovulation tests. We’ve fell pregnant before so nothings wrong 🤬🤬🤬🤬 gave me rage he can’t say that when all Iv had is a blood test. I agreed to stop tracking and doing opks but i want it looked at more tbh so Iv a telephone appointment with my go and see what else we can do testing wise with me. I’m. 34 this year and it’s nearly been two years we can’t just keep trying when there could be a problem stopping it.

Feel your pain it’s a joke a months time. I think they hear fertility snd just push it back. I think I’m 3 weeks wait where as last month I called as I have psoriasis and was acting up.....they gave me an appointment the next day 🙄

Thanks girls. @Babyghirl he'll be 5.5hrs away and working 12 hour night shifts. I'm also working mon-fri 9-5. I ovulated cd13 this month but cd16 my previous ovulation in January. So really depends when ovulation is looking likely, if I can get a cd14/15/16 ovulation I will maybe drive to him fri night till sun. Will just have to keep an eye with opks and see.

Hope everyone has got some nice weekend plans xx

kiwi17 · 23/04/2021 18:32

Sorry for bfn @justwant2beamum :( it's so sucky isn't it. I suppose at 11dpo you still have a vague possibility? Fingers crossed for you or that at least May works out for you ovulation on a weekend wise. 🤞🤞 currently cd13 here and probably will dtd tonight as cm is saying yes but opk not positive.. hopefully that's not a bad sign! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend 😃

Sweetbabydust1989 · 23/04/2021 20:36

Feeling a little worried so no pains just mild cramping but I feel very flushed and tiered like I could sleep for hours temperature is normal so do you think it's a sign of ectopic?? My first one I had nothing like this just serve pain (stabbing pains) my epu is rubbish they wouldn't see me until Tuesday at all and done accept walk ins so having to wait am I just being really paranoid?? My mum is the only one who knows atm just feel like iam on my own not told partner yet was going to wait until Tuesday incase it's miscarrying xx

TerribleImagination · 23/04/2021 23:46

@Sweetbabydust1989 That sounds like standard pregnancy symptoms to me lovey! I could have slept all day in those early weeks, they are TOUGH! Try doing some deep breaths when you get worried, that really helped me calm down a bit in those early days ❤️

Sweetbabydust1989 · 24/04/2021 09:34

@TerribleImagination thanks so much I feel loads better today just very tiered... it's my arm I am worried about as it still hurts but I have no other pain and it's the arm that I had problems with when I had my previous ectopic that's why I am super sensitive it's ok when I move it the pain comes from my shoulder blade and travels down my arm to my hand xx

SLCxxx · 24/04/2021 11:14

Thanks @Babyghirl and @27DONFIN I hadn’t even thought about investigating it until I read things in this group so it’s all new to me, all this info helps.

@27DONFIN that’s terrible, have you tried Googling your local trusts policy? I found mine by googling my borough and nhs fertility policy, then you can quote it to your GP if there’s anything your entitled to that he/she hasn’t sent you for?

Ive just bought Pressed lubricant (to give the swimmers some extra energy, lol) and a FERTI-LiLY for this month because.. every little helps right??🤣 has anyone used a FERTI-LILY before?

@justwant2beamum if only we could freeze semen at home aye! Life would be easier

SLCxxx · 24/04/2021 11:20

@Sweetbabydust1989 could you try calling them back to see if they can fit you in for an emergency USS due to the shoulder tip pain and previous ectopic? It’s so bad that you have to wait so long

Sweetbabydust1989 · 24/04/2021 11:24

@SLCxxx I have tried hun they are completely useless pretty much said if I have no pain or bleeding to wait until my app... the pain is weird like it travels from my shoulder blade all way to my hand my shoulder clicks loads and my hand is freezing cold and fingers are a little tingling... I have pushed down on my belly and no pain iam just extremely tiered can't keep my eyes open xx

SLCxxx · 24/04/2021 11:44

@Sweetbabydust1989 no chest pain/breathlessness? Tiredness can be very normal, not sure about the left hand thing. Maybe call 111? That EPAU is terrible, considering your history. I hope it all goes away, you get lots of rest and your scan on Tuesday is perfect 🤞🏻

Sweetbabydust1989 · 24/04/2021 11:48

@SLCxxx nope nothing I am just pretty much exhausted that's all no pain at all cramping comes and goes no pain like the ectopic I had I was in agony with that... our epu is only open Monday to Friday 9-12:30... I called 111 they didn't seem concerned as when I move my arm it seems to go it's more when I am sitting and thinking about it they said it could be muscular but obviously until I see clear tubes and a little sack I will be worrying xx

27DONFIN · 24/04/2021 11:53

@SLCxxx thankfully in Scotland the policy is the same all over which I think is slot fairer. I’d read and been told by a few others to take a cough bottle 4 days before ovulation up until ovulation as it helps break down cm for the sperm to swim more easily like it helps break the mocha in the lungs. Don’t know how true it is

SLCxxx · 24/04/2021 12:14

@Sweetbabydust1989 okay, glad the pain is different from before. Going to be a long couple of days for you but just try to take it easy if you can x

@27DONFIN come to think of it, I fell pregnant with my MMC 1 day after my smear test! So there might actually be something in unclogging the cervix 🤷🏼‍♀️ Have you tried the cough syrup before? If only we could give ourselves smear tests 🤔😂

Sweetbabydust1989 · 24/04/2021 12:58

@SLCxxx yes when I had my ectopic I had the worst stabbing pains ever I thought my ovaries were on fire this time feels different my pain is mostly located in my groin with the odd cramp here and there.. I have found that when I am moving my arm I have no pain it's when it's resting it feels worse I stuff with neck and back problems due to my job and I sleep with on my right side with my arm bent under my pillow so they don't help... These are the longest days ever I have 3 more days for my faith to be confirmed xx

Babyghirl · 24/04/2021 17:07

Well ladies got a letter today for an app with an obs, gynecologist for the 19th of May thank god it has came through I'm over the moon and can't wait to it comes around hopefully now will get all the tests I need and can find a reason. 💚

Babyghirl · 24/04/2021 18:48

Sweetbabydust1989 · 24/04/2021 18:59

@Babyghirl I think I am having an ectopic xx

Babyghirl · 24/04/2021 19:14

@sweetbabydust1989
What makes you think that just try to relax if there is no pain and it feels different from last time all could be well in there it will be in ur head cause of the last one but remember new pregnancy new outcome xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 24/04/2021 19:19

@Babyghirl erm the pain in my upper back it's weird as it's my shoulder blade which travels down my arm my arm is achy and my fingers hurt and hand is cold... got some weird dull pain on my left side that comes and goes... had a weird pain just below my belly button when I stood up fast... feeling flushed with heavy eyes I have had no bleeding at all I am not sure if I am over thinking things I have serve anxiety xx

SLCxxx · 24/04/2021 19:25

Babyghirl · 24/04/2021 19:26
