@amyannx those results sound very good, hopefully that puts your mind at rest a little, I’m so pleased for you xx

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 16:11

@amyannx Oh that's good news hun! I'm so pleased for you. I know what you mean about the scan but at least you're currently heading in the right direction and at least you know yourself that even if you don't see anything on the scan, that's very normal for the gestation. Try and relax a little now ❤️ xxx

Hi everyone! 6dp 2nd IUI here. TTC first baby. Having some lower back pain and hoping it's related to implantation but who knows? I've been fooled many many times before.

amyannx · 10/05/2021 16:28

@Twochews78 @Willow1982 @Confused678866 thank you all, yeah I'm going to try and relax more now, such a stressful time, thanks for the support xx

Sam8582 · 10/05/2021 17:11

@AllyCat31 haha, I like your style, I reckon I'll have to up my vitamin game, gonna have a good read up on it all! Fingers crossed you've covered all bases and get your bfp 🤞🏻💕

Sam8582 · 10/05/2021 17:12

Great news about your blood results @amyannx! Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months for you :) x

amyannx · 10/05/2021 17:13

Thank you @Sam8582 xx

CTMcG · 10/05/2021 17:31

Good evening all!😊 today is suppose to be 1dpo according to my app (im off the pill 5 months now after 12 years and have had 3 cycles since Dec when i came off so not exactly in tune with my periods yet as hadnt had a real one since 18 and i am now 31!

Anyway, today i have really sore lower back pain and slight cramps, could this mean that today is actually ovulation day? Anyone else feel pain when ovulating? I dont know whether to dtd today due to this.. for all i know it could be period cramps but my cycle is slightly longer than normal so doubt it is period cramps

Missy95 · 10/05/2021 17:48

@amyannx great news about your bloods, hopefully you will feel a bit more at ease now 🥰 x

carlsi6 · 10/05/2021 18:37

@amyannx thats great news hun! It's sounding promising!

@CTMcG yeah deffo DTD today. I always can tell as I get a dull ache slight cramping around ovulation and my CM totally changes I get loooooads of EWCM (sorry TMI I know but that's how I know)! Xx

CTMcG · 10/05/2021 18:45

@carlsi6 thank you! Nothing is TMI for me😂 only beein trying since last week and I have already turned into Monica from Friends! This will be the 5th time DTD since Wednesday 🙈 Almost afraid to approach the hubby haha!! X

Lollipop25 · 10/05/2021 18:48

Fab news @amyannx 🤗 hopefully all will go smoothly from now on for you

@CTMcG hahahah honestly we turn into demons. I was the same especially this month as soon as I got my positive OPK I was practically waiting on the drive for him. 🤣🤣 xx

Twochews78 · 10/05/2021 19:27

@Willow1982 I’m glad it worked! I think I read it on another forum, haha! I’m not having any luck with the cheapies or I’ve consumed too much water. But my CM is saying, “go, go, go”! I think this is the first real sign that I’ve got from my body that I’m actually ovulating since we started trying. It’s in line with what my app is saying too. Fingers crossed! Does that mean you’re close to ovulation with the flashy? xx

CTMcG · 10/05/2021 19:29

@carlsi6 😂😂 at this rate i hope i get lucky in our first cycle cuz this week has been ALOT😂

Court2611 · 10/05/2021 19:40

@amyannx so glad to hear this!! I’m praying the midwife referral doesn’t take long to come through, said up to 2 weeks before I speak with someone and that was on Friday! Xx

amyannx · 10/05/2021 19:41

@Court2611 thanks hun, I did my referral on Friday online and it said up to 14 days until I receive a letter with a appointment x

Court2611 · 10/05/2021 19:57

@amyannx it just feels so long to wait for some confirmation lol xx

amyannx · 10/05/2021 19:59

@Court2611 yeah it does doesn't it, the weeks drag when you are waiting for things! Xx

Willow1982 · 10/05/2021 20:06

@Twochews78 do you know the month I did conceive I wasn’t tracking with opk but I remember the CM being a definite go go!! I think it’s a really good sign to go by! Fingers crossed indeed!
I believe you get the flashing smileys for a couple of days building up to a static smiley meaning peak! So going to start dtd tonight to hopefully catch the peak this month!!xx

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 20:09

@Court2611 @amyannx

Just reading your posts about midwife appointment... I called my GP surgery last Thursday. They sent me a midwife form to fill in and email back. I sent this back Thursday night and I called the GP surgery again today to ask when I will hear from them with a midwife appointment. She said I will have an appointment when I'm 10 weeks - that can't be right?!
With my first pregnancy, I was quite a few weeks further on so all of my appointments were a bit rushed so I can't really compare to anything 🤷🏼‍♀️ xx

Court2611 · 10/05/2021 20:26

@Confused678866 oh that doesn’t seem right!? I mean I have no idea how it all works as this is my first but I know the one I’m waiting for is just a booking in appointment whatever that is! Xx

Missy95 · 10/05/2021 20:29

@Confused678866 I was just over 10 weeks for my booking appointment; it felt like the longest 4 weeks waiting ever! And then my 12 week scan was at nearly 14 weeks! Due to my miscarriage and complications, when I hopefully do fall pregnant again, I should have my first scan at 11 weeks so who knows how that will work with the booking in appointment. I have no idea why its so late (or what seems to be) x

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 20:33

@Court2611 Yeah that's the one I'm waiting for too, the booking appointment. I think the lady on the phone got it wrong to be honest as she didn't seem very sure. I'll call back in a couple of days to ask again! My booking appointment with my first was done in such a hurry as I was nearly a month further along than I thought! Xx

Fiep · 10/05/2021 20:35

@Confused678866 yes 10 weeks was the first appointment I got with DD1! They called it the “booking appointment” and it was a long one where they took all the family history, bloods, etc., and book your 12 week scan :) exciting!

Just catching up on this thread. Someone posted about feeling not taken seriously by GPs about gynae issues. Unfortunately I’ve often felt the same way. Things haven’t felt quite right “down there” since dd1’s birth which was quite traumatic and the doctors just aren’t really interested... “well you’d expect that”. Pretty sure I’ve got some prolapse but they’re nawt interested.

Still no AF for me, I was due Friday, but also BFNs. It’s been a month since I had the copper coil removed (during my last period) and I’ve done some research and apparently the copper coil can mess up your cycles by damaging your uterus?! This isn’t something I was told, the story is always your fertility goes back to normal immediately but for lots of people online that hasn’t been the case.

Now I’m worried I’m not going to ovulate / how would I know? OPK every day? With no period I’ve got nothing to go on except cm maybe. But that isn’t looking promising atm so not sure whether to waste an OPK.
