TTC 35+ thread 11

[VixFromThe6ix]

New thread! I dunno how to tag everyone from the other thread 🤣

Yeah I found testing during ovulation stressful in a mental way. After three months of opks being mostly consistent I am not doing them this month and reading my body instead, won't make much difference other than now I am wondering if it's the same as last month or not 😂

@GuessHowMuch that's utterly shite. So sorry you had to go through that with GP. Sending good vibes your way x

@GuessHowMuch that sounds horrific, I’m so sorry :( How are you feeling?

@GuessHowMuch oh I'm so sorry to hear this! What an absolute cow! Dreadful behaviour from a GP! 🤬 Sending you so much love!

Thanks for all the well wishes 😘

@GuessHowMuch that's not on at all! I don't know how they get away with treating ppl like that. Hope you're ok ♥️

Didn't have any spotting after this morning, but just wiped and there was quite heavy red blood like I would have on my period 😞 so I don't think this one is meant to be. Couldn't temp this morning but will do tomorrow and I guess that will give me an answer if it hasn't stuck. Feeling OK, it's only month 3 of trying, but a bit meh.

@GuessHowMuch so sorry you had such a bad experience. I hope you're as ok as you can be.

@Noodella18 I'm so sorry to hear you're spotting/bleeding. Perhaps wait until the morning and if no more bleeding then see if the EPU can fit you in for a blood check? Some women bleed every month through their pregnancies and it could be a bit of old blood maybe. Fingers crossed for you.

@AnxiousWannabe me! Do you have any strategies for reducing stress? I've been trying some meditation/breathing exercises, exercise and acupuncture. It does help a bit xx

Hi @thingymaboob and welcome

@GuessHowMuch sorry about your gp they really can be brutal sometimes!

@Noodella18 sorry you're bleeding 🤞🏻 it won't be bad news

@Noodella18
Im sorry to hear that ☹ yes if it isnt meant to be then back to it next month 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Noodella18 good luck for temp tomorrow, hope alls okay x

Hiya. I have an early BFP. 10/11 dpo. Previous chemicals and an 8 week miscarriage so we are being very cautious. I had very strong symptoms early last time and ended up with hyperemesis gravidarum and not currently being overwhelmed by smell or feeling sick but it's still early. One day at a time

@thingymaboob
Same situation but approx 18dpo , im not testing again but obsessively checking when having a wee!! I have had 3 mc's , 1 @ 13 weeks , 1 @ 5 weeks and then a chemical around 4 weeks and 2 days. Good luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Noodella18 I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s exactly what happened with my MC. So frustrating. But yes, only month 3 so lots of opportunities for a sticky bean if this one doesn’t work out. X

@ElsieG3m
I tell others stuff that may work but it never works well on me lol

Its bad coz I think it's affecting my ovulation sigh

Thanks @Geriatric1234 and @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 . I'm not sure what's happening, my temps are still high today and had a strong positive test. Would progesterone remain high if I was losing it? Like would there be a lag in it dropping? Have had some more blood this morning but only when wiping. I've been coughing my guts up and I do wonder if it's pressing on my pelvic floor and aggravating things 🤷‍♀️ I'm not worried if I'm losing it but I'm just wary of ectopic etc

@Noodella18
If you speak to your doc , I think they would send you to epu and they may do a blood test and then another blood test 72 hrs later. Th en have you back for a scan at 6 weeks. X

@Noodella18
And yes thats a strong line , are you about 15 dpo? Thats looks about that to me ... good luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@MgW1 14 dpo today. I think it would have been darker actually, my wee was pretty dilute when I tested. Bleeding has stopped 🤷‍♀️

@MgW1 I don't really feel like I should raise it with my gp for a while - it's not like I've been having recurrent losses or anything like that, and I don't have any pain or anything. I think I should just ride it out for a week or so and if it's still not clear what's going on then I can raise it then.

@Noodella18
They will do a blood test if spotting , can you self refer to epu in your area or like you say ride it out. Its a very good colour for 14 dpo , fingers crossed all will be fine. I think its quite common for a bit of spotting x

@Noodella18 best of luck to you. That line looks great and you've stopped bleeding now so both of those are good signs! 🤞🏾🍀

Sorry @Noodella18 I think I missed your earlier posts! Congratulations on the BFP! That's a really great line, but I'm so sorry to hear about the spotting. That's so stressful! 😳 I know it's common for some women to have spotting so all my 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you! 😘

@Noodella18 Sorry you're having such a worrying time. Hoping everything works out ok. Also crossing my fingers for all the other recent BFPs🤞🤞

I have had my scan and HyCoSy this morning. Not great news as turns out one of my tubes is completely blocked😞 And it's the side I'm going to ovulate from this month apparently. He counted 9 follicles including dominant follicle on that side and only 3 on the other.

@Noodella18 those are high temps and a good line! I get what you mean about nothing the Dr can do at the moment. Might be as you say, the coughing and walking etc. Are you still away also?
