@VixFromThe6ix
I have bought a new bra as well 👍🏻 ... new M&S boutique lingerie range is lush.
We've got this , this month ladies , im feeling positive! My hubby is still on his maca and im starting a health kick after this weekend .... but as for tonight im enjoying a wine , bonkfest commences Thursday 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@VixFromThe6ix so sorry for your losses lovely. But fingers crossed you'll have some good news v soon. Have you had tests/treatment? Xx

@MgW1 lollllll. You're doing well if it's a bonk fest. Ours is more a shrug, a sigh and a shuffle...might be where we're going wrong!! 🤣

@ElsieG3m “A shrug, a sigh and a shuffle” has me giggling!!

@MgW1 fingers crossed for you!!! Get good rest Wednesday night hahahah
I dunno why but I am also feeling positive. Would be amazing if we are right :)

@ElsieG3m we are consulting with a fertility clinic that ran all the tests. Other than my prolactin being a little high nothing else came up so they are just saying keep trying!! But we did ask to be put on if waiting list just in case. Oh and I'm also taking progesterone cause my lining been shedding early. So with all that I place plus tracking ovulation and dtd when necessary I am praying it pays off!!
Had a super low point last month, but at 37 (almost 38) and ttc #1, I can't sit and feel sorry for myself. Gotta keep trying and doing our best

@VixFromThe6ix
Oh I hope so too , im not early testing this time either. I know it will kill me but I cant do with the stress!!
@ElsieG3m
Well we did get like that but had to spice it up.and after 3 mc im trying to be laid back and enjoy it more ... we will get there 👍🏻👍🏻 xx

@ElsieG3m "a shrug, a sigh and a shuffle" I cannot cope 😂😂😂😂 proper loling at that! It's funny coz it's true eh 😂🙈😬

@KatRee i think i might try the ph strips too would be good to know and will show how long dh swimmers are sticking around.
re pom juice I've just started to drink all cycle, to increase blood flow and build lining

@KatRee
Epo can delay ovulation , it did with me ... about 5 days , only tried it once though x

@ElsieG3m yes fresh pineapple slices including the core on an empty stomach in fw and ov day.
Not sure what else I can try next month, think I've tried it all 🤦🏼‍♀️

@KatRee you can drink the pomegranate juice all month

@MgW1 bonkfest 😂 love it!

@ElsieG3m shrug a sigh and a shuffle 😂 I think mines more like that than a bonkfest definitely! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@VixFromThe6ix that's so hard - I'm really sorry. But great that you're progressing with options and support and hopefully something will change v soon for you. Fingers crossed. If you don't mind my asking, how did you found out your lining sheds early. I wonder if mine does too - from 5dpo I feel that wet at feeling like I'm about to come on. Have it for ages then she arrives about 5 days later. Not sure there's even time for implantation x

www.verywellfamily.com/fertility-foods-recipes-1959903 Though this article seemed quite interesting x

@ElsieG3m it doesn't sound like that's what you have, babe. Which is great!! When it sheds, it bleeds. Since getting off depo Provera 4 yrs ago, my period became super weird. I would start spotting and it goes on for 8 days with just spotting brown blood, then on day 9 I will have cramps and my heavy flow would start. So every month my periods lasted for 14 days. While it's normal to spot for a day or two before heavy flow, 8 days is excessive, so my ob suggested I start taking progesterone 3 days after ovulation. It was like magic because it took away the spotting completely and now I'm having 6 day periods like all the other normal girls. So unless you're spotting, you're not shedding early. For me, this was potentially why I've had my miscarriages so I am hopeful next one that sticks will stay :)

@ElsieG3m So sorry to hear about your Dad- hope you're doing ok

@got2be @Marvellouslymadmum - thanks! Pomegranate juice every day it is then!

@MgW1 - gonna keep an eye on ov date when on EPO - it was day 11 this month, so if it's a day or two later wouldn't be the end of the world, but psychologically find it hard when I have to wait longer then expected for it - like 'did I miss it? did I break my ovaries somehow?! ' so might ditch it again if it causes a big delay

Hahaha loving the descriptions of the shagging 😂 by the end of fertile week my partner literally said 'do we have to have sex tonight??! whimper I don't want tooooo...'

I'm on 10/11/12 dpo not 100% sure which, and bfn this morning 😭 due any day up to Wednesday but not feeling optimistic. Sighthill.

@Noodella18
Ahhhh good luck , there is still plenty time 🤞🏻 im not early testing this time , turns me into a nutcase!!! However , easier said than done 🙈 so we shall see xx

Been keeping busy with work over the TWW and crossing fingers and not testing. Had been feeling slight cramps from 3dpo onwards but AF showed up today. Gutted but was only cycle 1 so probably shouldn't have got my hopes up. 😕 onto cycle 2....

I was just thinking I didn't recognise a bunch of names and how quickly things must have moved on then realised I have posted on a different thread. This pretty much sums up where my head is at 😂

Hope you're enjoying the bank holiday weekend so far x

@Sleeeeeepy
Yes its been nice so far ... how are you doing ? CD7 here 😊

Enjoying the weekend thanks @MgW1 I'm on CD21 but have bled almost every day this cycle so could be a new one. Waiting on a scan to see what's going on with the cyst but given the bleeding all signs pointing to endo. The hospital said I need to phone back on Wednesday to chase up so hopefully will at least get a date then....

@Sleeeeeepy I hope you get to have a laparoscopy and endo removed. I'm nearly 3 weeks post my op now and had a period and it was manageable on normal pain meds. Sex has been less painful too. Hoping it helps my fertility too now!

@missmcmonkeymcbean sorry to hear that! Best of luck for the next cycle xx

@Noodella18 - mine said the exact same thing!

Well af came crashing in to spoil my bank holiday a day early. Urgh! Just consoled myself with a huge piece of chocolate cake and now feel sick as well as miserable! Hope everyone else has a bit more luck this cycle xx

@KatRee thanks lovely. It's very hard. I'd love for him to meet all of his grandchildren so I have to hope that I get some good news very soon xx

@VixFromThe6ix thanks lovely and sorry to hear you've had to go through that. Sounds so tough but good that you have treatment now and hopefully if will do the trick! 🤞🏻 Xx
