@slcxxx
It's more complicated as we think just to get to chill on that boat is a hard job for them but I wana knw how the f##k a boat got in to my tube 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💚

kiwi17 · 12/07/2021 16:56

@Babyghirl it certainly raises some questions...plus if my body is that peaceful inside I'd like to go on a little trip to lie on that boat 😂 so I phoned the gp and bloods all came back satisfactory literally nothing to note at all so I'm even more fed up now because it's not that anything can be fixed it's just not working 😞

Babyghirl · 12/07/2021 21:03

@kiwi17
Did you not ask for numbers I would my progesterone was 16.5 first time I got it done they said no action needed but to me that is on the low end as they say it needs to be 16 or over to say ovulation has happened can't remember if it was that that was being tested 💚

Babyghirl · 12/07/2021 21:04

Well went on a run today to say it killed me is an under statement 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so now in bed watching to hot to handle on Netflix have yous watched it 💚

kiwi17 · 12/07/2021 21:27

@Babyghirl it said 4.0nmol/l any idea what that means?! It was the day 3 test though so guessing progesterone not a big deal in that one? Fsh was 9.1 and LH 5.6 but again it all just says satisfactory so I have no idea whether that's ok or not! Got the internal exam on Friday so will ask the Dr then.. a run seems like hard work 😆

Babyghirl · 12/07/2021 21:30

@kiwi17
Ask all the questions then I would I have my scan nxt Tuesday both abdominal and internal to gs my body is nt mine anymore 😂😂😂😂😂 💚

Miscarriage39 · 13/07/2021 08:14

Kiwi17 I would definitely ask what the ‘normal’ bands are and just how far within them your results were.

I totally get you on feeling like your body is not your own. I hope the scans go well. And we’ll done for running! My DH does 10k several times a week, whereas I can barely run for a bus!

Annny27 · 13/07/2021 08:51

Period arrived yesterday after 7 days of spotting which is a record for me it's never usually that long! Onto next cycle 🙄🙄

Can someone help me!

So been tracking my opks and my app said ovulation due tomorrow of course my boyfriend is working away. Wiped before and had EWCM but not done a opk for today. Not bad sex since Saturday and last night I fell asleep.

Do you reckon ovulation will be in the next few days? I'm hopeful because he is back on Thursday 😖

Babyghirl · 13/07/2021 19:10

@apwilso
You can have ewcm for about 2 to 3 days leading up to ovulation so fingers crossed that egg hold of to Thursday nite Friday mines is approaching to I have watery cm so will be on it tonite 😂😂😂😂😂😂

PeanuttyButter · 13/07/2021 21:29

@apwilso I have ewcm for about 5-6 days and always thought I ovulated much earlier than I did. Fingers crossed it holds out for you x

ELM7 · 13/07/2021 22:06

@Annny27 sorry AF arrived again.

@Babyghirl very impressed going out for a run. I really need to do some exercise.

I know this is a thread for TTC but 2 and a half years in from starting this crappy journey - wondered if any of you had thought about adoption? My husband mentioned it the other day after hearing an advert on the radio.

Annny27 · 13/07/2021 22:41

@ELM7 I would love to adopt even if we have biological children! My husband is warming to the idea too. I would love two biological kids and then to adopt a third child. But we will see how it works out!

@babyghirl oooh good luck for ovulation week 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@apwilso I am similar to @peanuttybutter I get up to a week of ewcm

@ELM7
I would not rule it out but really want the experience of a baby right from the start, hope that doesn't sound bad in writing but I want the pregnancy to the birth the lot of it, the run killed me tbh lol but felt so good after it I'm only 9st 9lb not doing it to loss a girl I knw swears it clears the ovaries so made me go on it she went through fertility problems for ten years after having one and had her second.💚
@Annny27
Thank you sorry the witch got you maybe you need the progesterone seems urs is falling very early in your cycle 💚

ELM7 · 14/07/2021 09:05

@Babyghirl doesn’t sound bad at all. That is exactly my thoughts I want a bump and want to feel baby kicking. But can’t help but think it will never happen.

I have tried running a few times But I hate it - need to find something that I do enjoy to get some exercise. I’ve lost 3 stone since Sept but have still got more to loose and have sort of hit a wall so need to change things up and bring exercise in.

Really hope the plan of 2 biological children and an adopted child happens for you @Annny27. My husband is adopted and has an older brother who is his parents biological child.

Babyghirl · 14/07/2021 09:22

@ELM7
Losing 3 stone is amazing girl well done you I love walking but running not to much 😂😂😂😂😂😂, I want all that to but you know what we will get it all girl we got to be positive as hard as it is but we will get there xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 14/07/2021 10:51

Sorry girls been a while so had my consultation today and I am having the surgery I was suppose to have done in jan!!! I am so scared he is doing a full mot and service... I might have to have my tube removed too if my left is ok.. I am scared and confused emotionally drained and a wreck.. he was like please don't get pregnant when I walked out he wants this app to be third time lucky 😂 poor sod has seen me since last year and every time my surgery is booked I end up with am ectopic grr.. thankfully it's with a bmi hospital so shall be done next month or the month after please say this is light at the end of the tunnel xx

apwilso · 14/07/2021 11:42

@Babyghirl fingers crossed for me then!!
@PeanuttyButter let's hope it'll he gets home quick

Babyghirl · 14/07/2021 12:56

@sweetbabydust1989
Glad your getting seen to pretty quickly but please no bfp until its dealt with, and hope the nxt bfp you get is your take home baby girl x got my scan on Tuesday to check everything in working order the rmc consultant has ordered it x

Sweetbabydust1989 · 14/07/2021 13:17

@Babyghirl oh it's been a long time coming the fertility doctor was 1 million percent against the whole hycosy test and when I spoke to my consultant today he new him and was glad he put a stop to it thankful i came on so couldn't have it done 😂 I am just scared about the whole one tube and will I be ok to have another child do they give me drugs to help... oh no no baby making that's on the back burner for a while.. funny thing is I got a positive ovulation test yesterday was so tempted but new it was the wrong thing to do my consultant would kill me he did tell me no baby making on the way out 😂 Is it a TV scan?? I hope it all goes well hun xx

Hello all, sorry I've missed out on things recently! I've just had 4 days of flashing smiley faces on my Clearblue ovulation kit and then a still smiley face at around 9pm last night. The kit recommends DTD on all flashing smiley and still smiley days so we've been at it for 4 days in a row and now my DH says that his willy's tired and needs a break lol! Plus, the lady I've been seeing for Chinese herbs told me today that it's best to only DTD every other day! She said 'Have sex every alternate day so that the man can recover and there is seminal fluid increase for the male. It encourages good quality sperm. Do not have sex every day as the quality of sperm won't be good' Too late for that info now! When I got pregnant with my now 5yo we DTD every day during a week away on holiday and that pregnancy went well. I'm not sure what's caused my recent problem with recurrent miscarriage but hoping this will be our month!

I've got really bad pain on my right hand side. Could be ovulation pain. I've just read online that it can be normal but that it's sometimes linked to endometriosis or fibroids. I have one small uterine fibroid so I guess that it could be caused by that. Not sure really!

I have an appointment booked for my 21 day progesterone test on Tuesday so hoping to know the results from that by the end of next week. The lady I see for Chinese herbs also says that a BBT of 98F or more is best around ovulation (I was 97.52F this morning) so she's recommended that, as well as my herbs, that drinking warm ginger will help to warm me up! Seems worth a try! Found some ginger that looks good online: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075XL5164/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_5CCZXS5QWBZ6J8JZ32R9?psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

DH does not seem to be up for any action this evening but said he'll be happy to go again tomorrow. Seems strange missing a peak day but hopefully there's enough sperm available from earlier this week. We'll probably DTD every other day for the rest of this month in case I ovulate on a different day than I expected...or ovulate twice...I've heard that's possible.
Sometimes TTC seems so complicated! Here's to a Summer full of our Rainbow Babies! Xx

Babyghirl · 16/07/2021 09:23

@sweetbabydust1989
I replayed to u the other day but for some reason it did nt send 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 don't knw all I knw its an ultrasound so will c what on Tuesday when I go lol,
@HOpeing
His willy is tired that made me laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it is very tiring when u get to that week sme routine is 3 days in a row from your peak then miss a day then do again and its got a great success rate so think everyday does no harm unless there sperm has a low count or something they tell u to do it every two days 💚

Sweetbabydust1989 · 16/07/2021 09:29

@Babyghirl no problem 🤣 I hope it all goes well hun I had a call from the hospital surgery is being booked in for September feels like it's come around so quickly. Never felt so scared in my whole life I just don't want to loose the chance to have my rainbow baby xx

Babyghirl · 16/07/2021 10:47

@sweetbabydust1989
You will be fine just remember what you will get at the end of it all a precious gift it will be so worth it xx
