TTC March / April

Just continuing our thread so we don't get knocked off the old one!

This is my chart today with a big dip! Still flashing smiley. Would you typically get a positive OPK before or after a temp dip? Going to try DTD tonight, aka persuade DP haha

@kaylsd you're not being rude at all! We'd never think that of you. We're always here when you need us but never expect you to keep us in the loop at all sweetheart.

I'm really chuffed for you that you have managed to get in for testing. That's really good news. It does sound like you might have been about to ovulate when the scan was so hopefully a couple of weeks from now until AF.
Make sure they check your thyroid as well. My friend is going in for IVF and her GP wouldn't medicate her until IVF clinic kicked up a massive stink. The minute they got her levels to what the IVF clinic said, she fell pregnant naturally - she unfortunately had a miscarriage but at 42 she was gobsmacked.

@minthumbugs definitely after. Possibly another 2 or 3 days - your estrogen is probably peaking now as that's what causes the dip in temperature for most women. I think I dipped today as well but I've been a tad up and down even with OvuSense so not sure yet and I effed up my lh test earlier as well so it must be catching 😂 They've given me a free month of premium subscription though so that's good!

@minthumbugs I'm technically only 6 days late and I had a random positive the other day if you ladies can remember so I'm wondering if it's just going to be around the corner? I did a dr google search and they say vitamin c can help bring it on, so I downed a pint of orange juice with no regrets like a pro 😂😂😉

@CycloGoose your ever so kind to me chick thank you for being so one of many who is so supportive 🥰 they are doing abit of a MOT, all my routine bloods plus thyroid plus all hormonal screening and then day 21 bloods with swabs to rule out anything as my smear is up to date and normal & hub to have SA which he was like it's gonna come back super sperm (I'm sure all men have this attitude of super sperm 😂😂) I'm just gearing up for a good mind space with whatever comes at me, took my first conceive plus supplement this evening, I'm hoping for good things with these as they have myo inositol, coq10 in it and other bits what I've never took before in a supplement 👌🏻✨

@CycloGoose we might be cycle buddies this month then! Definitely can't follow simple instructions buddies by the sounds of it 😂 that's fab you have a free month!

@kaylsd is there any chance you are in a TWW? I'm glad you are feeling so positive after your scan, things are in motion for you now!

@kaylsd sending good vibes..hopefully all goes well xx

Ladies who have had progesterone blood test..what day did u have it. Ive always thought day 21 but i was asked to do day 23? Anyone had same?

@Iloveoreos I want it but my doctors not doing all th tests! Day 21s normally 7 days before next period so 21 is just based on the average cycle

@minthumbugs 🤣 🤞🤞🤞 positive test buddies later as well!

@kaylsd definitely well worth paying for the scan then and great they're doing hubs as well because normally they'll do that later as well.

Well we've already fallen off the wagon. Tried DTD this morning but didn't fulfil the mission! Then DH had too many beers and fell asleep tonight 🤦🏼‍♀️

I've been lurking but struggling to keep up with a couple of threads! I've been keeping my eyes out for you guys though!! I'm 5+4 today and have my early scan on Friday 🤞🏼 I have been feeling sick as a dog since 2DPO and it's only getting worse 😂😂 I am SO grateful for this though and really hoping you all have your BFP's soon!xxxx[/quote]
I've been sick a few times but I'm 11 dpo and read that sickness starts from 4 weeks, so completely disregarded this symptom?
Do you think it's actually possible to start sickness so early? ☺️

[quote soontobeamama]@Slinks8113 that's all seems very positive news from the doctor. It's so easy to be sucked into tracking and then the symptom spotting, so good for you if you manage to resist!

I'm currently around 5 DPO, with my period due around 10th April - it's just the longest wait ever! I'm still hopeful and keeping positive, but I'm also telling myself that I need to try not to agonise too much in the days coming up and also hold off testing until at least after the 10th if my period isn't here - easier said than done though! [/quote]
Mine is due 12th April :)
No symptoms but unable to keep dinner down - really doubt thays related though 😁
Have you tested yet ? X

@Iloveoreos I've only ever heard of day 21, but your doctor will know what they're doing. That's good you're getting it done!

@cyclogoose men are too unreliable, if we could do it ourselves I think we would have more success 🤷‍♀️😂 we didn't manage yesterday either. My app has now changed from 'peak fertility' today with ovulation tomorrow to 'fertility unlikely' and waiting to confirm ovulation last week though! So who knows. X

@Veronika13 sickness very early was my first sign with my last 2 pregnancies. Can't remember how many DPO though, sorry! Good luck and baby dust ✨

So strange even if implantation DID happen after 5 days - that's make me only 5 days pregnant, can there really be sickness after barely few days
I trust you though - I've never been pregnant so you'll have more experience :)

Don't take my word for it @Veronika13! But that's my experience, hopefully it's yours too 🤞🏻

@minthumbugs I haven't a clue anymore sweet if I'm honest 😂 she said I looked mid cycle where I'm about to ovulate on my scan, but I've only had one high OPK randomly but it wasn't a full positive it was nearly there, so I'm going back to tracking see if I can catch that peak 🙈

@Iloveoreos thank you for the good vibes hunny! I think they just go average cycle to call it that test :) I take it your having yours done too darling?

@CycloGoose hope your enjoying the best part of the cycle hehe 😜 let's hope you can get back on it (TMI quite literally) and catch up for lost measures 😂😘

Haha @minthumbugs that would be funny! We've caught up and my temp still low anyway so 🤞🐝🐿️🐖 Don't stress too much. I had the 9 days of flashy buggers before I got my solid and that's when I got my bfp as well! Stranger things have happened!

@kaylsd I'm not sure I really enjoy it all that much but at least I feel like I'm doing something positive 🤣
Just a sprinkling of baby dust for everyone this morning ✨✨✨✨✨✨ and photos of some of my mum and dad's puppies at 6 weeks for good measure xxx

@kaylsd took foreever to get nhs to do mine . I guess they dont really do anything until its been a yr.in hindsight going private for initial tests is a good idea like you did.

Well I tested today even though I think AF is on her way 2 days late. A BFN on a FRER, prob a waste of a test really, but couldn't resist! Annoying, I've never had a cycle this long but I was trying to lose weight so maybe my pattern messed up. Thanks for thinking of me everyone and good luck and baby dust to you all!

@kaylsd you might as well! Hopefully you can get a peak soon xx

They are absolutely adorable @CycloGoose. I love them! My temp is still low too. Think I'm on my 5th day of the wee devils but I'm not giving up yet lol.

Sorry @Laureatus :( so annoying that AF will trick us being a few days late. Baby dust, fingers crossed for next time. X

@cyclogoose how adorable are those puppies 😍🥰

I think I've injured myself with my ferti-lily cup 🤣

🤦‍♀️ Why do I do it to myself? Thought as I’m supposed to be due on around now I’ll take a test. Took a cheap one, was negative but thought there was a shadow of a line so immediately took the last CB digital from the cupboard and dipped it to get “not pregnant”.
I think I need to stop buying pregnancy tests “just in case” and just wait for AF to be late..
Might nip to the shop later to drown my sorrows...

Oh no @CycloGoose! Hopefully you're not out the game too long haha. Is it like a menstrual cup?

Oh no sorry @KatieLooLa :( it's honestly worse when it's CB digital! They feel like they have the longest wait ever and to see the 'not' come up is awful. How late is your AF, do you think it's coming or is there still time?

@KatieLooLa I think the clearblue ones aren't that sensitive either but I'm sorry to hear that anyway.

I think it is okay @minthumbugs 🤣🤣 it's a bit like that but there's not much cup. It's got little holes in to prevent a vacuum forming but I'm not sure it worked 🤣

I know we all really want a baba and that's why we're here! But do any of you ladies have a moment sometimes where you're just like AHHHH I REALLY WANT A BABY!!!!?

Weirdly TTC kinda keeps my mind off it because I feel like I'm keeping busy and doing something about it (makes me feel like I have control... LOL). I don't know if this makes sense or if anyone else feels like that but I just keep having more and more of those little moments. I'm just so ready to have my bub. X x x
