@crazycatlady1981 I know ridiculous right? I'm n.ireland it's so slow over here but at least we'll be fit to find the money for private it'll be tight but we'll get it feel so sad for ones that have no choice but to wait it's heart breaking x

@Aimzie oh man your cycle is really messing with you this month! Sorry lovely. Although I suppose there's still hope yet, it's early days really!

I'm on CD14 here and due to ovulate on Friday. I promised I'd update you ladies on my sexy outfit shenanigans and have a corker for tonight!

So I did a workout and then showered, got changed into my new lingerie and a dressing gown over the top. Went to find OH and he was washing up. Asked if I could show him something, took him by the hand and led him upstairs to the bedroom. Started to undo my robe... and he said... "I need a pee" and walked out the room lol!

No wonder I don't normally bother . Anyway, we did it in the end and he did really appreciate it. Wish I'd let him finish the washing up first though! Hope those of you around the same point in your cycle are having better luck than me @notyetamumbuttrying how did you get on?

@Motherofkittens28 ah I didn't realise that. Worth holding out for then.

@notyetamumbuttrying Love hey they still charge you for it 🙄 but it's definitely worth re doing although you'd wonder how it could be wrong when it's not supposed to change! Was it your consultation today? If your tubes are clear have they said about low dose Clomid or anything to realise an extra egg or such?

@Sjhigs welcome!

@Annny27 yep I've got a decent one near me I've gone with. November isn't that long off and the months are just flying by anyway! Be lovely if you could be one of those miracle couples booked in for ivf but get pregnant naturally beforehand!

@Crazydoglady123 thanks 😁

@Annny27 yes, please let me know. And fingers crossed that your period doesn't come!
@Aimzie very cruel cycle, so sorry hun!
@Sjhigs welcome, best of luck with the monitor! I tried Angus castus for a bit which is vitex and it delayed my ov (which I wanted) but then shortened my luteal phase by 2 days so I stopped.
@crazycatlady1981 that's not too badly priced! I wonder if the clinic would accept that tho 🤔
@kerrym87 I see! Thank you 😊
@PeanutButterBrownies whoop go you, you sexy siren!! I'm wearing mine on Saturday. Might save the cock ring for Sunday 😆 we're going for everyday starting today so I'll need something to keep him interested by Sunday 😂
@Crazydoglady123 yeah I don't really see what redoing it will do either unless she doesn't trust that the nhs did it right, but how can it be wrong?! Wonder if they're just trying to get more money out of me?! 🙄 yeah it was today. No, I don't need clomid. I had 12 follicles so ovulations not a problem. Just slightly low Amh which is so weird considering my afc. I guess my amh should be 12 too but it was 5.4 🤨 I'd only need drugs should we start ivf. How are you my dear?

@notyetamumbuttrying wonder if they got the results mixed up then or something?! You'll find out soon at least! Does having 12 follicles mean you're ovulating okay though, as I had 18 and I don't ovulate... I'm okay thanks, but frustrated as keep getting period pain but no sign of my period still 🙄 I've booked acupuncture for today as I spoke to my lady and she said she'd help try and bring on my period with it so have that at 12pm.

Had a few days away now I'm completely lost where everyone is!🤦🏼‍♀️😆 how are you all?

@notyetamumbuttrying great news your dps results have improved!

Im felling pretty tried today 😴

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks 😁 how long were you on it for I peaked at day 15 this month now into the dreaded #30 2ww I'm the biggest symptom spotter poas addict you will ever meet had an itchy palm yesterday and was googling all sorts 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

AF is here 🎉 downside is she bloody well means it!

@notyetamumbuttrying yess going for it everyday can feel a bit much sometimes can't it! Sounds like you've got a fun plan though and your results sound really promising but would be great to have the AMH confusion cleared up

@Sjhigs - eugh the TWW draaaags doesn't it! Itchy palm lol, did google have any suggestions? How many DPO are you now? Sending you strength and restraint on future symptom spotting, but fingers crossed! I'm only really bad for spotting symptoms just before AF is due but I used to change my behaviour completely in the first and second half of the month. No booze or caffeine, I used to do a regular Abs Blast class and at one point I stopped going to classes in my TWW thinking that might make a difference... clearly it didn't haha. Exhausting this TTC business isn't it!

@Crazydoglady123 ahh sorry to hear she's come with a vengeance! Sounds like the kind of situation chocolate might help with. Are you still going for your acupuncture today?

@PeanutButterBrownies i had my 1sr peak on Tuesday so I'm saying 1/2dpo 13 to go 🤦‍♀️ oh apparently money is going to find me nothing to do with pregnancy lol although the money would come in very handy with having to pay private for treatment maybe get a win on the euro millions tomorrow night my guesses being about £3.60 knowing my luck 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Crazydoglady123 great that she finally arrived even if she is being a bitch! At least you know when to start the clomid now!

I'm sitting (Im) patiently waiting for my test results lol

@Crazydoglady123 bit of a mystery really! I've also had my day 21s and it was 60 when over 30 detects ov occurred plus I always get ov pain and positive opk's so I'm pretty certain I ov. I don't know enough about it all to know what's normal, not normal etc. What were your day 21s like?
How was acupuncture? Glad AF is finally here and you can start clomid now.
@RobinRose thank you! How are you apart from tired?
@Sjhigs I took it for 3 cycles and then it took about 6 cycles to get bk to normal 🤦🏾‍♀️ I've had every symptom going so don't bother anymore 😂
@PeanutButterBrownies got my peak today so I'll ov tomorrow so I think just tomorrow and Saturday should do us now. I won't force Sunday if he's done in by then 😆 yeah the amh is odd isn't it! Have you had yours checked yet?
@Marvellouslymadmum have you got them yet? What were you waiting for again?

@PeanutButterBrownies you got a good hubby if he does the washing up 👏 Had my acupuncture still and never ever felt so sleepy during it. She asked me how I felt after and I said tired and she laughed and said the combination she did will give me a sedated feeling so just had a 30minute nap 😌

@Marvellouslymadmum have you called them
To chase yet?

@notyetamumbuttrying oh no 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ would be my luck for the same to happen to me il keep you updated 🤞

@notyetamumbuttrying when will you get your results back for the second AMH? Oh that's fair enough then. I can't remember what mine were further back but I know my 3rd and last cycle of Letrozole was on 23 so hadn't ovulated. Uh I just feel so happy to be able to plan dates again like when my next scan will be, when I'll possibly feel crappy if the Clomid has the same effect, when my next cycle (ivf starts) will be. I hate not being able to control those things haha

@Crazydoglady123 ooh love a power nap! Bet you feel great now?! X
@Sjhigs best of luck! 🤞🏾

@Crazydoglady123 I've not booked it in yet. Will prob do it the same day I go in for the hycosy. Gives me a chance to see if this month is the month for a bfp! Totally understand the need to control things especially when you can't really control fuck all when it comes to ttc! 🙄

Hey everyone, im feeling pretty crappy today, had a migraine on off since last night and still very minor spotting so I caved and did a test, which was of course negative :( . I know its still early but I just feel sure that the ivf hasn't worked. I haven't told my OH I've tested as I'm sure he'd be annoyed with me so I've got no-one to tell. The thought of the wait to start again and then the next round is just exhausting. I just want my baby 😢. I know you guys will understand. Xx

@notyetamumbuttrying @Crazydoglady123
just got off the phone with the doc she said my iron levels have improved a lot so dropped my tablets down to one a day, the others were day 21 progesterone which she just said progesterone was high so you've ovulated this month, Lh and oestrogen are all fine. Didn't give me any levels or anything 🤷🏼‍♀️ and wasn't keen to do anything more, I asked and she said that's all they will do at primary level as I am ovulating but just cos I ov this month doesn't mean I am every month! I'd like to know what the levels actually were rather than 'fine' and she doesn't want to do afc or amh or anything so I'm left in a bit of limbo land really. Do I wait a bit and ask again or ask another doc in the practice? Do I pay for private tests? Or do I wait and see what the iron has done? I'm just worried that I've already waited and waited so long that more waiting at my age is not a good thing 😔

@Motherofkittens28 try not to feel down, headaches are a major pregnancy symptom due to the hormone increase and it's very early still for a bfp hcg levels will rise alot over the next week

@notyetamumbuttrying ah sorry I thought I read before it was today 🙈 that makes sense and even the Hycosy cycle increases chances that month after being flushed out. I have everything crossed for this to happen naturally for you 🤞

@Marvellouslymadmum can you ask the secretary for a copy of the results? Mine emailed mine over to me the other day. If they be funny just say you're going to see a specialist and they've requested for you to take them.

@Motherofkittens28 we're all here for you 😘 I feel awful as I talked about testing the other day... it is still early days at the minute so try as much as you can to stay positive lovely.

@Crazydoglady123 I could try yes, I'll email them and see what they say. I just don't know what to do next now

@Marvellouslymadmum has you OH had a SA?

@Crazydoglady123 no not yet, I spoke to him about it again today and he's trying to avoid it 🙄 he said well it's obviously all working as we've got pregnant twice and had two miscarriages 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'll try and broach the subject again later on
