We're a mixed bunch of ladies ttc with all sorts of issues, mainly of the male factor kind! 😏 Though there's a range of reasons over here, come join if you've been in the ttc game for a long time and had nearly every test under the sun ☀️ and heading for interventions. There's ivf chat as well as natural. Buckling up for the ride of their lives are our usual riders: 😎

(Sorry if I've missed anyone off the old bus, please jump bk on!)

@Crazydoglady123 hope so! Weird not celebrating with a bunch of friends like I did last year. I did my bday the weekend before luckily, as we had Barbados booked for my actual bday which obviously got cancelled! I got to have a meal out at least and then restaurants were closed the next day and lockdown started two days later 😟
@Tofu35 ahh ok! Makes sense now lol!

Ah hope you do get to meet a friend! I'm seeing a couple of mine on Saturday.
Haha I actually wouldn't mind either. At least something would be happening. I've missed things happening, it's been so bloody long since anything happened right 😂
@Annny27 ooh have you tested?
Our lucky mums eh!
@Marvellouslymadmum it can be quite staggering can't it!

@marvellouslymadmum yep my first pregnancy (miscarriage) as only after 3 mo ths so I thought it would be easy haha!

@notyetamumbuttrying no i haven't- not gonna test till 16dpo. I had red blood when wiping at 10dpo and then turned into brown and now creamy.....so maybe implantation?? Or maybe a really annoying bout of spotting 😥😥

@Annny27 that's very strong of you! Is your LP usually 14 days? Could well have been IB! Time will tell, these will be firmly crossed for you🤞🏾🤞🏾

My LP is usually 14 or 15 days so arrives on 15or16dpo.

Haha! I think I just cant bare to see negatives anymore! @notyetamumbuttrying

@Marvellouslymadmum yeah we rarely have takeaway, but we can get some delivered at least!
@notyetamumbuttrying good luck with the sale then, it's a slow market at the moment. Hopefully it will pick up once lockdown ends. We really want to move but won't commit at the moment, need to see the bank!
@Crazydoglady123 yep I'm actually a bit excited to do my first injection tomorrow (hopefully)!
@Annny27 yeah AF arrived 5am this morning thankfully. Ooh hoping it is implantation for you that would be amazing!

I have 2 weeks off from next week but as it's IVF time I am isolating so won't be able to meet anyone or go anywhere anyway 😂

@Motherofkittens28 somehow I missed your updates on what was going on with you. Sending hugs and love.

@Annny27 totally understandable! Is bloated and constipated your usual pre AF symptoms?

@Narwhal88 thanks 😊 Yeah that's what we're banking on!! Are you staying in your area or wanting to move elsewhere? Good luck with first injections my sweet and enjoy the time off as much as you can whilst going through ivf! Have you told many ppl irl?

@notyetamumbuttrying no usually I am having diarrhoea at this stage 😂 but you never know what's normal and what's not it could be a very normal pre AF symptom so I really am not getting excited!

@narwhal88 oooh nearty starting injections that's so exciting :D

And yes, still thinking of you @motherofkittens28 ❤❤❤

@notyetamumbuttrying it really can!

@Annny27 our bodies are very cruel!

I'm so excited for everyone going through their ivf journey, looking forward to seeing those bfps for us all!

@Annny27 I'm like that too lol! Well I hope it's a lovely surprise instead of the usual crappy one (pun wasn't intended but it suits so I'll claim it 😝)
@Marvellouslymadmum same here! I hope there's bfp's all round!!

@Motherofkittens28 yiu will need more than 2 days off, I just had mine and I massively underestimated. You'll need about a week but health comes first. I was worried as ill have had nearly 4 weeks off for isolation and recovery but my manager was fine. You get pain from the gas and your tummy will be sire from 3 puncture places potentially, be kind to yourself! X

@Motherofkittens28 I was also supposed to isolate from hubby with a shared kitchen and bathroom etc however, we've both worked throughout and never had a positive between us! I swabbed neg before surgery so just carry on being careful and just tell them you did. Also supposed to isolate 7 days after to protect you post surgery so your manager can't complain about covid rules!

Hey @clolo! Yep the other thread gets a bit chaotic at times 😂 what's your MF problem? I'm 33 and starting IVF ICSI soon

@Motherofkittens28 I had a lap for a cyst removal about 6 years ago and the gas and bloating after for a few days you just feel meh. I always drink peppermint tea and prune juice after an op as I get bloated from it and it helps. I was back at the gym two weeks later though, still with stitches in 😂

Welcome @clolo theres a lot of us in the same position on this board at same stages so I like it :D nobody jumping on 2 minutes after taking the pill and posting bfps here 😂😂😂😂

@notyetamumbuttrying where are you in tww now?

@kerrym87 are you still feeling sore now or back to normal? And did they say you can ttc this month?

@narwhal88 fingers crosse injections start today :D

@Narwhal88 good luck with your first injection 😬

@clolo oooow not DTD purely for TTC would be a dream for me! I've been told to abstain this cycle now ready to down reg on CD21 so I can say I'm going to enjoying the break 😂

@clolo welcome! Yes there’s lots of us on here hoping to start ivf soon! I’m unexplained infertility and hoping to start ivf in May too! Just waiting for the fertility nurse to get back to me about our final blood tests and book us a zoom appointment with the consultant!

@Narwhal88 good luck with the scan today!

@Tofu35 and @Annny27 hope that af stays away! 🤞🏻

11dpo today and I’ve got super sore huge boobs! They don’t usually get this sore, but I’ve decided to read nothing into it and assume af is on her way and will arrive at the weekend!

My dreams shattered of a bfp - BFN just now at 15dpo. Hate this so much and now concerned about the spotting. Calling doctor tomorrow to discuss it

@clolo I'm still not sure why they've put me on long but they have. I've just chased them up for the nurse to call me today to discuss booking me in for everything and the receptionist was like "well that was a bit naughty him promising you this cycle..." so now I'm a bit meh and no idea now whether I can or not until I get the call today 🤷🏽‍♀️

Sorry for the BFN @Annny27 🥺

Thank you @crazydoglady123 :(

I am devastated I hate my life right now :( sounds so dramatic but it's just never ending grief with infertility :(
