From what I can gather motality and morphology can be improved as it's normally quantity which is difficult from what dr google says, it's more lifestyle changes & supplements what can help with it so hubs is on board now to join me on the journey of popping pills for the supplement life 💁🏼‍♀️😘

@kaylsd glad it's not all doom and gloom. Sounds really positive that it can be improved. It seems only fair that the men have to pop some pills as well - it's the least they could do! Hope it goes well for you tomorrow. X

@minthumbugs still nothing! (weak lines)

@kaylsd yes maybe...but would have thought it would have happened by bow or lines would get darker in the lead up at least
I've just read your latest post. Sorry to hear you haven't had the results you were hoping for! I hope they will explain things better for you though and hopefully you will get some help to move forward on your journey 😘

@Tangfastic91 Ahhh congratulations. Sending you lots of love and positive vibes! ✨

I'm on day 22 and nothing doing @mammaj21 I think sometimes our bodies just do our heads in.

You're right @kaylsd sperm gets completely replaced every 3 months so I'm sure he can make inroads. Plus there'll be other options like sperm washing and stuff. You're gonna get there, I know it! But totally frustrating right now and hope you get properly bumped up the waiting list with a quick referral.

Xxx

Ahhh ladies have an intense and sudden urge to POAS 😂 along with the fact i am a bottomless pit right now I think I can expect to welcome AF tomorrow or Thursday, I'm staying strong and not wasting a test 🙄

@kaylsd it feels so terrible that you just get given numbers and some standard statements for your to worry about. Glad it's not as doom and gloom as you first worried about though. Hope your Appt goes well today.

@minthumbugs oh that sudden urge!! Did you pee?? Such strong willpower

Hoping AF doesn't show for you @minthumbugs! If it helps, I too was a bottomless pit over the weekend and now feel guilty that I consumed so much sugar 😂

I'm always a bottomless pit. Total sugar junkie. I'm worried my addiction to the white stuff could be causing me problems! Hope that if you do poas it's the best outcome 💓💓💓

@KayL1988 nope!! Held it in (the urge not the pee 😂) thank god. Don't know what I'm thinking, think I might be over halfway through the TWW as I've had a short LP recently so I think I always get itchy feet at this point!

Thanks @tangfastic91! At least you have an excuse now 😉

@cyclogoose oh god I'm the same, I have such a sweet tooth! Especially before AF, I am like totally possessed until I get some chocolate 😩 how are you getting on? X

Hey there lovelies little catch up for you!

Being finally referred in now for fertility clinic 💖😘😘😘😘 it's been a long bloody journey to prove that I have PCOS - they have finally diagnosed me! But also they have acknowledged we have indications of male infertility also so we meet the CCG requirements for the referral to be made prior to 1 year of TTC :)

I don't know how long it'll take to come in the post but least I know that's the next step for us guys! Just at work so will reply properly later xxx

Woooohooooo @kaylsd. It's obviously not how you expected or wanted your ttc journey to go but I'm so happy that you have been referred, especially pre-12 months. That's great news!

Great news @kaylsd I hope they are able to help you get that BFP :)

@minthumbugs

Woooohooooo *@kaylsd*. It's obviously not how you expected or wanted your ttc journey to go but I'm so happy that you have been referred, especially pre-12 months. That's great news!

thanks hunny were so happy that we feel like we are officially moving forward with the next steps we need to take with our TTC journey it might not be the way we first expected it but least we are going to be into a system what can try help us achieve our happily ever after bub 🤞🏻✨🥰 ps so proud of the willpower to avoid the POAS you've got this girl 😘

@Tangfastic91

Great news *@kaylsd* I hope they are able to help you get that BFP :)

Thank you darling that's the end goal hopefully! My gp needed consent from hub too for the referral so once he rang up this afternoon it's formally been sent off, just a waiting game now through the post of when it'll be 😘

Managed to get the referral sent off today! Wooooopppp I don't know how long it'll be but yeah todays a good day for us as we feel like we've been at a standstill for so long, sorry to hear your cycle has been abit wap ive got the sisterhood t shirt for that ;) I hope your ovaries kick start soon for that lil egg to go on a hunt 🤞🏻🙈

@CycloGoose Ah man. any signs of ov today? None with me. Really wondering whether the other day was it and it just didn't seem quite as dark...or maybe I'm going to ovulate late....or not at all?! haha don't know what to think.
Wish it was easier.

Do you ladies tend to use opks t a certain time of day? and do you do it twice a day??

@kaylsd I'm glad you are being referred now so that everything can be looked into.

@MammaJ21 I don't do twice a day! But I was using cheapies up until crunch time then using CB in the morning. I did also use a cheapie in the afternoon on the days I got static smileys to confirm! I picked a one hour window and tried to always do it within that time. X

@MammaJ21
Thanks lovely, gonna have a week off eating healthy with hub as it's been a rollercoaster this week and gonna tackle the eating healthy healthy egg and sperm mission in ways we can with old wife tales until everything comes through :)! How are you getting along with things? Xx

Morning ladies hope you lovely lot are well!

Been doing some research and reading this morning and decided to take the plunge and book my covid vaccine in since everything's just waiting around now for appointments I should be able to get my first and second dose in before anything starts up with my next journey 😘 let's hope I don't feel too shitty with it as I've known so many feeling horrible including @CycloGoose but yep the first and second dose are officially booked in, roll on next Wednesday 😳😂✨💁🏼‍♀️

@kaylsd that's great news and so quick too! Ra

ndomly I just saw something come up on FB about PCOS improving with avoiding gluten? I don't know accurate that is but it may be worth looking into for you! Gives you questions to ask at your appointment with the clinic at least. 🤷‍♀️

The same spotting I had last month before AF has appeared for me. I have mixed feelings, it means I did ovulate when I thought I did based on natural signs which is nice! But also that LP is still short. Full AF will probably appear tomorrow. Onto the next. Xx

Aww hun, do you think your spotting is linked towards low progesterone? Have you had any day 21 bloods done to support that? Sending lots of love always, was listening to my Alexa whilst making a cheesecake again (made one last weekend for the girly bbq but hub was disappointed that he didn't have any so I've had to make us both one 🤣🤣) and that rise up song came on by andra day came on and wow i found it so touching I had the biggest lump in my throat!

Here's a little something to remind you no matter what your going through now in a few years time you will have forgot all of these bits inbetween xxx

Ps I'm gonna get all the details about PCOs when we go, as my inflammation and my insulin was normal so drs believe it's post pill PCOS which can settle within time potentially 🤞🏻

@minthumbugs so sorry, that suucks! But great that you can tell ovulation based on symptoms. Good luck for June!

How's everyone doing? So glad it's Friday!

@minthumbugs did AF arrive? Really hope not.

@kaylsd that sodding pill has a lot to answer for! How are you both feeling?

@Kitty0389 did you ovulate earlier as expected? How did it go with the SA?

@mammaj21 what are your thoughts on ov?

I've not ovulated. Lowest temp yet today but I'm feeling good it's Friday. We're back on the DTD wagon. Went to an IVF webinar last night and that's spurred us into action.

We've kind of settled on a plan which is to test my dhea levels and supplement if it looks likely to help. We'll try that probably for 3 months and then move on to IVF if no joy. Try up to 2 cycles self-funded so can have the third with NHS still.

Were talking about icsi and the extra cost of that but hubs is confident in his swimmers since he's impregnated two different women before! Neither of whom I knew about until yesterday. One in his teens but also one in his thirties 🤦🏼‍♀️ At least he's talking now!
