@Motherofkittens28 have everything crossed for you here still 🤞🏻🤞🏻 come on little egg!

[quote RobinRose]@Crazydoglady123 I would be interested to know the ratio too, I think my FSH levels are hjgh but the gp wasn't concerned?
FSH level 13.2 iu/L
LH level 7.0

How do you all keep your mental health in check with this shit? Mines taking a battering at the moment 😞[/quote]
I think for PCOS reading up it's elevated LH to FSH ratio

@Marvellouslymadmum anytime in the next two weeks according to my Apple Watch tonight 😂 but hopefully in the next couple of days. I tend to go longer cycle then shorter cycle and this month is due a shorter one (I hope)

@RobinRose I've just come to terms that my emotions TTC are a roller coaster. I've accepted I have bad days and good days now but trying to keep busy helps.

@kerrym87 have you been diagnosed with PCOS?

@Motherofkittens28 you do know I'm going to be anxious all morning for you till we hear tomorrow 😅 Best of luck tomorrow. I'm feeling positive for this lil' egg ❤️

Also, looks like I was ovulating back in September as my PG was 42nmol/L and bloods were taken CD27 of a 30 day cycle 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Motherofkittens28 good luck tomorrow, have everything crossed you get your blasty on board ❤️

@Narwhal88 haha exactly the same as mine then! He really pays attention if I start to cry and shits himself bless him 😂
@Marvellouslymadmum yeah just time it right! Good luck 🤞🏾
@Annny27 haha oh dear. Sometimes he expects me to cry and I don't and I think and he thinks I'm cold 😆
@Crazydoglady123 to be fair it's only been 8 days but still...they analyse it same day so don't really see why they can't just give us the result 😩 infuriating! Yay to getting everything to them. We'll have to use the first SA if we don't get it bk by weds. Ooh I'm not sure on the ratios for those, sorry hun.
@crazycatlady1981 works a treat doesn't it!! 👍🏾
@Motherofkittens28 ah hun, so much crossed for you! ♥️
@RobinRose ah it is really hard sometimes. I find a good Netflix show or something takes my mind off it, a long phone call with a mate or good book etc. Just anything distracting. Exercise is great tho if you can make yourself do it. Start slow with a walk and work your way up to a jog, then run etc.x

@Crazydoglady123, I will let you all know as soon as I can. I feel physically sick right now and no idea how I am going to sleep tonight!

@Motherofkittens28 download the calm app and listen to a sleep story. It's what gets me to sleep most nights. So much luck honey ♥️♥️

@Crazydoglady123 that sound like my apps I have 6 in total and they all tell me different dates 😂

@Motherofkittens28 I don't think I'd be able to sleep either - anxious and excited! Good luck 🍀

@Motherofkittens28 good luck! @Crazydoglady123 the consultant said it is very likely but not had definitive diagnosis will get verdict once I've had this hsg and lap on friday. My sister had it really bad and I've got clear symptoms . I've started reducing dairy as it can increase oestrogen too much and reducing my sugar, cleaning up my diet basically and it seems to be helping with pms and excess hair growth and my cycles have already got more regular. I'm already gluten free and have ME so the whole underlying inflammation that goes with pcos fits with the ME and my anxiety I've battled with a long time.

Sorry it's a long one pressed enter before I was ready! So I was sure I wouldn't symptom spot as on norethisterone ready for my hsg as due on Monday and side effects are raised temperature, digestive upset, sore boobs (so the usual) but keep waking up when I would normally do bbt so end up doing it! My temp has never been so high and is mimicking heading for a BFP. Realised I'm hoping I'll have a BFP just before I have to go, why do we do this to ourselves!

Good luck today @motherofkittens28 ❤❤❤

@kerrym87 when will you test?

@aimzie good luck with your test this morning!

Sorry ladies! I was hoping to spread some luck on this journey but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be for us this month. We miscarried on Thursday morning...as we’ve had 2 in a row now they’ve said they will investigate if we have one more 😩 feels awful having to wait to see if I have another before anything is done...hope you’re all well x

@Annny27 probably Wednesday 2 days after due as I have covid test in afternoon prior to procedure that way its longer than my longest 16 day luteal phase but before I go for test. I'm sure its meds toying with me!

@Motherofkittens28 good luck today!! 🍀🤞

@ACMJ do sorry to hear that 😔 are you and dp OK?? Sending hugs 🤗

@Crazydoglady123 @notyetamumbuttrying I think I'd rather be in the office working than stuck at home, feel that would help things, being in a proper routine and all that. Going to try running and doing some more exercise, git a couple of magazines to read too.

Well we are on our way and my appointment is in 40mins, no phone call recieved. I'm assuming they would have phoned by now if it was bad news.

@Motherofkittens28 ooh so so excited for you! I'm sure you would've heard by now! Good luck 🤞🏻

@ACMJ so sorry to hear this, it's horrible that you have to wait for three before they will investigate 😔

@ACMJ I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s really awful that they won’t investigate sooner! Sending you lots of love 💕

So I am PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise)! Embryo was graded A and out of ten on two scales it got 9.1 and 8.3 (10 being the best)! We are over the moon and we even have a picture of it in my uterus that I will try to upload for you. We are now in the queue at McDonald's as apparently McDonald's chips after is an ivf thing.

Tiny white dot in the red circle

@ACMJ so sorry to hear this. Please take care ♥️
@RobinRose yeah I know what you mean. It's hard having your whole existence at home isn't it! Did you manage a run?
@Motherofkittens28 how amazing!! I heard that too about McDonald's chips! All the luck in the world to you darling ♥️♥️

@Motherofkittens28 oh wow that's amazing news! Yes I've heard you're supposed to eat salty snacks afterwards so mcD fries are a great one! What a brilliant little egg, so pleased for you ❤️

That's amazing :D @motherofkittens28

Whens your test date - will you hime test or wait for blood test?

Yes McDonalds chips and then pineapple core for the next 5 days apparently! The things we do 😂🤪

@ACMJ I am so sorry for you loss ❤❤

@ACMJ so sorry to hear this. Hope you are both taking care.

@Motherofkittens28 eeek so exciting! Enjoy the McDonald's chips!

I still haven't ovulated 😞 no idea when AF will be due either. Just want to be bloody normal cycle again but this MC has messed me right up. I'm feeling very hormonal today too which isn't helping 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying I hate waiting so 8 days for something processed immediately would piss me off!

@Marvellouslymadmum the apps are crazy how some say different!

@kerrym87 you should follow Heathy PCOS on Instagram. I didn't realise there was different type of it. Fingers crossed for your test 🤞

@ACMJ I've been wondering how you were getting on. I'm so, so sorry for you both. TTC journey is an absolute bitch at times. Sending hugs ❤️

@RobinRose I'm lucky and work for myself but I can still go out to work but I find motivation hard the last couple of months as all I can focus on is TTC. Some weeks are worse and atm I'm "okay" but it's a bloody hard effort keeping my mind on work. Do you have any hobbies you can do at home?

@Motherofkittens28 yesssssssss 🙌😃 I am so thrilled for you both 🥰 You and your little egg are an absolute testament to how it doesn't matter what number you have on collection, it just takes that one. Get eating those chips breakfast, lunch and dinner haha!
