@Marvellouslymadmum so do i lol. theres different kinds of pcos from what I've read so dont rule it out and get tested private if gp refuses to listen.

crazycatlady1981 · 30/04/2021 21:03

@Marvellouslymadmum perhaps the range on my results was a general one for throughout the month rather than specifically day 3? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@notyetamumbuttrying the satellite clinic is much closer to us than bath care, so I think it’s just standard that all patients in our area go through the satellite clinic when doing ivf on nhs as it cuts down the travelling.

@Crazydoglady123 ah yes of course!! Looks great, 🤞🏻for plenty of eggies on Monday!

Marvellouslymadmum · 30/04/2021 21:07

@got2be I'm speaking to the gp on Tuesday about getting referred for endo as that's another possibility but may get a scan to check for pcos anyway

@crazycatlady1981 on mine it says 114-332 fp, 222-1959 mid-cycle, 222-854 Lp though mine was 1127 in Lp 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's all confusing!

Theawkwardblonde · 30/04/2021 21:21

Hey everyone.
Hope you're all okay. Been very quiet due to personal stuff ongoing. Also didn't want to post too early but got a BFP 2 weeks ago.
Approaching this tentatively after our MC in February.
In absolute shock if I'm honest. Only DTD once last month due to what I've had going on. Wasn't tracking ovulation either. Praying that this is finally it. 17 months we've been trying so still classing myself as an infertile donkeys!

crazycatlady1981 · 30/04/2021 21:29

@Theawkwardblonde oh that’s wonderful news! 💕 But totally understand your cautious approach to it! Keeping everything crossed for you! Do you have a scan booked in soon?

Marvellouslymadmum · 30/04/2021 21:47

@Theawkwardblonde congratulations so so pleased for you!! Totally understand you being tentative, there definitely seems to be something in this relaxing the ttc train malarkey! Loving all the bfp im Seeing at the moment!

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/04/2021 22:27

@paintfairy I know, all real now right.
@crazycatlady1981 ah I see! Annoying for you though.
@Theawkwardblonde omg yay! You came into my head today as well, so pleased for you. Hope all goes well 😊

Theawkwardblonde · 30/04/2021 22:44

Early scan all booked in for 8 weeks if I get that far @notyetamumbuttrying
Thanks @Marvellouslymadmum @crazycatlady1981. My mother jokingly said now that I'm not driving I'll likely fall straight away.
Thought my period was late as a result of the fen miscarriage. Definitely in a state of shock still. DH was literally like "we only did it once! How??!!"
Goes to show that low AMH really isn't affecting us conceiving like I thought.

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/04/2021 22:56

@Theawkwardblonde only a few weeks to go until the scan then! Remind me how low yours is again (if you don't mind), mines 5.4 so always interested to hear others. I'm older than you though at 35.

OP posts:
Theawkwardblonde · 30/04/2021 22:57

@notyetamumbuttrying mine was 7.4 and I'm 29. Still very low for my age. This is technically my fourth pregnancy. Literally think we managed to conceive in one last month due to my mind being elsewhere!

paintfairy · 30/04/2021 23:37

@Theawkwardblonde congratulations! That's brilliant news! 🥳

polejunkie · 01/05/2021 08:07

@Theawkwardblonde amazing!! Sending you so much positivity and crossing fingers for a smooth ride, this ttc journey is all too consuming and confusing but BFPs are definitely where it’s at! Relax if you can 💕

Good luck for collection on Monday @Crazydoglady123 looking good for a successful collection!

To everyone else I hope you can enjoy the weekend and put aside the worry and angst about ttc, be in the present moment appreciating the simple things in life and trust that your BFPs will come when the time is right x

Aimzie · 01/05/2021 08:50

Mines on bud fertility and fenugreek

kerrym87 · 01/05/2021 10:28

@Marvellouslymadmum lh double fsh can be sign of pcos but not always, mines double x

Marvellouslymadmum · 01/05/2021 10:31

I'm so happy seeing the bfp does give me hope!

@kerrym87 I don't think my gp wants to look into anything lol

RobinRose · 01/05/2021 10:34
