TTC 35+ thread 10

[Marvellouslymadmum]

We ran out of thread!! Will go back and try to tag everyone in here 🤦🏼‍♀️

That's exactly it!!! @ElsieG3m at least at work I'll go talk to someone so it takes my head out of the dark place it always ends up 😂

Girls did you know that at fertility clinic they don't use abbreviations such as DPO?? 😂😂😂🤷🏼‍♀️ When I got a positive test, I sent an email saying like I'm this much dpo and I tested positive on this much dpo...they called me back saying, just to make it clear dpo means days after ovulation? I said, yes! She is like oh ok just making sure as we don't use that language here.

I'm like omg .... I've used online message board lingo with medical professional 😂

@VixFromThe6ix I feel like I’m waiting for the call too 😂.
That’s pregnancy after loss tho you watch every symptom. It’s normal.
Hopefully those numbers come through soon so you/we 😂 can all relax xx

Just realised we’re running out of thread 😬

@got2be I have the zita west ones! I think I maybe need to stop catastrophising. It just gets you into a bad place. My husband always try inks everything will work out and I always think everything will be a disaster. With everything in life, I guess positivity gets you a long way. I've just never been that person so I'm not sure how to turn myself into one. Maybe fake it till I make it?! Work stress amplifies everything for me. As does tiredness etc just in a bad pattern really. I'm just going to do vit d, FA, kaneka ubiquinol, run, acupuncture and try to eat well this month. Really what more can anyone do??!! Maybe eventually something will happen!

@VixFromThe6ix that's so funny! Have you heard your values yet? So hope everything is ok for you 🤞🏻 Xx

@got2be haha aww that's the support I need in my life!! I hope they are just busy and not calling cause I one wants to be bearer of bad news. 🙄

This thread is so active!! I love it. Is 40 pages the most?

@ElsieG3m @got2be my partner is the same...he is positive, he tells me to stop being so negative and that it's too early and that if this doesn't work, we will keep going... Like all he's missing is a cheerleader uniform. And then there is me... looking for Every little reason that this won't work.
I don't think I'm like this with anything else in life. I'm usually the cheerleader and ms positivity... But when it comes to actually having a healthy pregnancy I'm full of doubts. I dunno why this is.

@ElsieG3m I do believe there is something in relaxing when ttc also knowing your getting the right help as my bfp after years of trying (not just faint line then af) was just before I had my first appointment with gyne. Literally a week before and only dtd once before ov and once after.
So with all the faint lines I’m hoping that progesterone has caused the delay and I get a bfp before end of year.

@VixFromThe6ix strength in numbers 💪

Yes 40 pages x

@VixFromThe6ix they will just be busy!! Time for a cup of tea!! The more your stare at your phone, the less likely it is to ring (and if that is not a great metaphor for where I am right now, I don't know what is!).

@got2be the consultant at Cambridge actually said that us this week that so many couple book in for ivf and then fall just knowing they're getting the help! I am sure you will get there. Are you taking progesterone this cycle? x

@VixFromThe6ix good luck for the phonecall, eek!! I took the plunge and self-referred to the midwives so I’m waiting for a different call 😂

@thislittlebird I’m so glad you were able to see him, he’s supposed to be the best! How are you feeling about it a few days on?

Well FMU is no good for me ... done a test this aft and the faint line is back and i didnt need to hold it up to the light like I did yesterday afternoon 🤷‍♀️ I may have to order a FRER because it my bday tomorrow and I want to know if I can have a birthday wine or not!!!

@ElsieG3m
I wish I can name a supplement in Amazon that will just take the TTC stress away !

Mine just flamed itself out. I guess after 30 days of stress my "stress" just got exhausted.

@Noodella18 well I did a frer as well following your example 😂 and I think I have a vvv faint line (or an indent). I've never tested so early so it's been either a total blank or a strong line. Have read that frers are terrible for indents a lot recently, so I'm not sure where testing has got me in terms of having a few drinks tonight

@MgW1 this is exciting!! What a lovely bday present 💝

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@MgW1 @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 🤞🤞 for you both xx

This is so exciting so many BFP’s gives us all hope 😊

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
How many dpo are you? Good luck to you too 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@MgW1 when are you gonna retest?? I'm so hopeful for you!!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 ahhh!!!!! Let's see it!!! How many dpo are you???

Girls, dummy me. I was supposed to leave a voicemail yesterday at my clinic after my blood test to let them know I took blood today and I forgot. I just remembered today and just left a message. So been waiting for nothing. 🙄😅 Still hope they call by end of day 🤞

@ElsieG3m yes will start progesterone this cycle. But with an early OV on the cards I’m not sure when 😬

@VixFromThe6ix good luck. Sure they'll get back to you today!

Ha I've been looking up posts on indents vs faint lines for the last twenty mins, and I'm going to take it as an indent until / if it ever goes darker. And I'm having a couple glasses of wine in moderation tonight. Can barely see it on the pic, and in fact can't see it too much better in person.

@MgW1 8dpo so stupidly early

@got2be that's so annoying to have got a randomly early ovulation

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
I think average day for implantation is 8 or 9 dpo. Have you had any cramping?

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
I think mine is an evap tbh , hopefully FRER will give me answer either way

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
I think if you take the test apart you would be able to see if indent but not sure , is an indent a crease in the test strip?

@MgW1 not necessarily, those tests might not be as good as a frer, so yours could well be a proper positive 🤞

Yeah I know right, I think it's an indent. This is why I dont early test 😂 - wasted a frer plus 20mins of my life examining it and looking at pictures of other people's tiny lines and indents to compare 😩
