@glasspaw - I wasn’t sure if you’d want to come over to our new thread lovely but I thought I’d tag you just incase

I’ve tried to remember everyone! If you notice someone I’ve missed tag them in

Group of 30 somethings TTC baby number 1!
New recruits welcome, nothing is off limits! Trust me 😂

@80sPadme that's great that most test results are fine. I don't know much about diet effects on progesterone, but I do know that soya can effect women's hormones so may be worth looking into that if u eat/drink soya? I've drank soya milk now for 5 years and didn't know this until my husband read it and told me 😂

I don't blame u for wanting a break while your body settles down.

@KayL1988 he’s just…….it’s a lot to explain, I’m just not sure things are ideal as it stands.

Yeah I think so, I’m considering putting everything on hold to be honest. Trouble is I’m running out of time to hold. So I’m not really sure what to do for the best right now. I know I have to do what makes me feel comfortable, trouble is, neither option is making me comfortable right now

Well I hope you’re okay @Peachycream ❤️ you’re still young and have plenty of time if you need to take time out and put it on hold for now. Let us know if we can help in any way!

@KayL1988 I’m 6DPO 6 more days until potential witchy business 🧙🏻‍♀️

@HRP1990 yeah maybe, although there’s some family history which may say otherwise. I don’t know what to do right now.

@Peachycream It’s hard to offer any advice without knowing the situation but sounds like you’re going through something tough? xx

@HRP1990 I’m very much at the bottom of his priority list, and if I sit and think about it, I always have been, where I thought we were going forward I’d put that to the back of my mind, recently it’s come back to the forefront. I’m now wondering how much longer I can keep doing it, I’m more than happy to give but more and more I’m not getting anything back in return. I’d just like to be the one taken care of for once but that’s never been the case and it’s not likely to change. Maybe over the years I’ve just given far too much. I can’t talk to him about how I feel because he shuts me up 🤷‍♀️

Oh @Peachycream sending u a big hug sorry to hear u are going through a rough patch. I do think sometimes men don't see things from our point of view, which is mega frustrating. Does your OH feel the same as you about trying for a baby or has things changed?

@Sparklingwine1 Thank you, I could use one right now haha. I would assume things have changed as it stands

Oh @Peachycream I’m so sorry your OH is being like this and not prioritising you. I totally get that dilemma your facing but if you were to get pregnant, it would be really tough without his support and prioritising you. I really really hope you manage to speak to him and make some progress, or at least feel more certain about what the best thing to do is. Lots and lots of love 💕

I echo exactly what @SkeletonSkins has said @Peachycream. If it’s tough now just you two without being prioritised and without having his support.. it will be so tough with a little one in the mix.

Communication is definitely key in a relationship so I don’t understand him shutting you down?

What are your friends/family’s opinion on him/your relationship together? X

Oh no @Peachycream sending you a big virtual cuddle (surely it doesn't have to be an elbow tap if it's virtual!?). It's difficult if you don't think like either option is ideal for you, We're all here for a natter or anything you need. Xx

communication is key, and I get you questioning things if you don't feel he's putting you first. Especially when the plan is he'll have you and a little one to put before anything else.

Good question HRP I always thing those closest to you have a good measure of things! Hopefully you have lots of real life cuddles and support too xxx

Just catching up with all the messages I’ve had a crazy busy weekend 😩 sooo ready for bed.
@SkeletonSkins sorry to hear O didn’t happen, do you think your body is likely to try again this cycle? How many times will your body try to O after a failed attempt does it differ each cycle or is it just one further attempt after the first attempt didn’t happen or will it keep trying until your luteal phase is too short to support a pregnancy?? I’ve often wondered how that works? As I’m in a similar situation this month although I don’t temp so can’t confirm if I’ve O this month or how many true peaks I had.
@Peachycream not feeling prioritised is shit . You feel how you feel, if you feel let down or hurt then nobody should invalidate your feelings. Shutting you down is still a way of invalidating your feelings. I hope you’re able to resolve it in a way that brings you some comfort. Genuinely ttc and navigating a relationship in which you don’t feel prioritised must be super difficult.

[quote SkeletonSkins]@80sPadme great news about your test results. What sort of dietary changes have you found that might make a difference to progesterone levels, if you don’t mind me asking?[/quote]
From what I gather, reducing dairy intake helps as the hormones in milk can have an effect.
Plus increasing healthy fats and reducing bad carbs can help too. Bad carbs (white and not whole grain) increased insulin and cortisol production.
Plus my health is always better when I have more of a 'paleo' style diet.

@SkeletonSkins & @HRP1990 you are of course, 100% right, and in my head, I know this but I’m a person lead by my heart, unfortunately, and that says to tough it out.

@KayL1988 thank you 😊

I know that it’s not a good situation to be in and most of the time I’ve learnt to just get on with it.
I just don’t feel like me anymore, I’m not even sure who me is now.

But you are all right and it’s not the best environment for TTC and probably not for me either. I already know there’s no room for communication on the subject and to try and not get anything out of that will just make me feel worse.

Yeah it’s not the greatest @Emmaldo14 🤷‍♀️

I probably shouldn’t be on here anymore

Sending hugs @Peachycream - sounds like you're in a tough situation and I hope you make the decision that's right for you xx

@Eli707 can you tell me what to do please? 😂

@Peachycream you can be here as long as you want or need to, whatever you decide 💕 how old are you if you don’t mind me asking?

@Emmaldo14 I’m not totally sure how many times it would try, most cycles I’ve had a couple of attempts then managed, and I’ve had one cycle that I think was anovulatory. The luteal phase stays around the same length so it would just mean ny cycle gets longer and longer depending on when I ovulate. I’m on CD 28 today and haven’t ovulated yet!

Like skeleton said you are welcome here indefinitely @Peachycream Xxx

Thanks @SkeletonSkins & @KayL1988 I’m 30, much to my dismay 😂

You’re the ring leader @Peachycream you may never leave 😂

Morning all, had a manic weekend with my parents staying which was lovely but no time to DTD or check mumsnet tbh!!

@SareBear87 so sorry to read about your chemical, fingers crossed and baby dust for next cycle 💓💓💓

@Peachycream so sorry you seem to be going through a rough patch at the moment, we are all here for you and whatever you need. Sending virtual hugs ♥️♥️

@80sPadme great news on your test results and that you can improve progesterone by diet so that is pretty positive:)

How is everyone else doing/where are we in cycles? I am CD10, FW due this week and O by 13th so gonna try to DTD more this week to make up for the lack of it this weekend haha!!

Exhausted today mind I just want to nap....would anyone notice when wfh? Hah xx

Speaking of ring leader, I’m off to set up a new thread, are we all happy with our title or do we want a new one?

Thank you all for being so kind to me and not openly judging me, you have no idea how nice that feels, I have so much love for all of you

@ all of you 🥰

@Peachycream I'm so sorry to hear you are having a shite time of it. Sending you a virtual hug!
I would say do whatever your gut feeling tells you.

I left my ex-h 3 days after my 31st birthday and was terrified that was my TTC days done and I'd never find another partner or be loved. I turn 34 in a few weeks and could not be happier.
I'm not saying you should leave, just that 30 is still young ☺️

You can always rant to us, we are always here for you x

@SareBear87 that’s how I feel to be honest. And that no one else would ever want me again.

Trouble is, I love him and I’m not a pretty girl so I probably wouldn’t find anyone else. And he knows that too
