@PeanuttyButter it's definitely af dam oh well I can have a nice few bottles over xmas now and enjoy the festivities without panicking.. I brought some of that conceive plus lube to have a go of. I had a lovely talk with my gp well broke down to her and she believes my stress and anxiety is not helping she went through all my post op notes and smear test results and said because they're clear there is no reason I shouldn't catch again considering it's happened twice this year maybe the ectopics are just nesting in the back of my head xx

PeanuttyButter · 11/12/2021 20:23

@Babyghirl always a good day when when our car passes it's MOT. It always feels faster even though it's not possible 😂

Babyghirl · 11/12/2021 22:15

@PeanuttyButter
Standing waiting was like going through my test again 😂😂😂😂😂 xxx

@Sweetbabydust1989 I conceived using conceive plus for the first time - obviously a very probable coincidence but you never know!!!

Are you ladies all prepped for Christmas? I’m panicking, it’s totally crept up on me!! 🤣
I’ve been sidetracked with MC, crazy work and holiday planning…. Haven’t even put my tree up!!! SOOOO not me!
Wanted to go it today but got staff party for where I teach yoga and Zumba so gonna go enjoy myself!
Although in a real quandary as to whether to have a drink… 2DPO, BD’d at all the right times….. always a chance but I don’t want to get to Christmas when AF is due having not enjoyed anything at all and then getting my period and getting totally depressed 🤔🤔

Took symptom spotting to a new level yesterday - 1DPO and my boobs were on fire all day!! 🤣🤣 now I know I’m going mad!!!

Sweetbabydust1989 · 12/12/2021 12:25

@Kelb79 oh really I was using normal lube and I am not sure if that's sperm friendly so my gp told me about this lube see if it works xx

PeanuttyButter · 12/12/2021 14:23

@Kelb79 I'm 6 or 8dpo today (double peak this month) and it was my works do on Saturday. I had 2 drinks, did a test before I went which was bfn so felt comfortable having a couple. Although I get that it's completely personal. Im trying to live my life the best I can do that TTC doesn't take over.

apwilso · 12/12/2021 22:05

I don't know if it's just me but does anyone find that their vitamins delay their period? Everytime I keep on top of my vitamins they delay my period. I'm currently a day late which many symptoms but not convinced I will be as this month I was ill with covid so don't think we got it in enough and not been pregnant since MC in April! Not sure if anyone else is the same?

PeanuttyButter · 13/12/2021 16:32

Not that I've noticed @apwilso but I only take folic acid and vitamin D and been taking it for about 2 years now so don't know any difference

PeanuttyButter · 14/12/2021 12:53

Well I'm 8dpo/CD23 today (BFN on IC) last month had a 24 day cycle back to normal but ovulated 2 days later this month so probably not due tomorrow. Been super stressed and teary up until after fertile week to be honest, couldn't cope with the pressure I was putting on myself. Not holding much hope for this month despite DTD enough especially as I'm starting with AF symptoms, cramping etc. I know I'm not out til I'm out but I dont want to get my hopes up and the fall be worse. Gonna try and not test now til Thursday if AF isn't here by then.

Hope everyone is trying to make the most of the festive season. Roll on 2022 I say!!

apwilso · 14/12/2021 13:06

I'm having a nightmare! 2 days late on period had some spotting assumed period now it's stopped again. This originally started yesterday but now there's nothing😥

SunnySideUp2020 · 14/12/2021 15:20

I was convinced something was happening this week I felt tired and a bit different but I guess I am just getting desperate again after testing super negative 😑 or it must be the Swiss air.

I really wanna start properly trying again... baby is 8 months so a couple a month until I stop breastfeeding. Finally figured out my cycles which are 48 days long now.

How is everyone?

PeanuttyButter · 14/12/2021 15:41

@apwilso have you done any tests?

@SunnySideUp2020 where are you in your cycle?

SunnySideUp2020 · 14/12/2021 16:56

@PeanuttyButter I am on CD44
Periods due on 18th

apwilso · 14/12/2021 17:24

@PeanuttyButter all tests are negative. Just doing on now!

PeanuttyButter · 14/12/2021 21:10

@apwilso how did you get on? x

apwilso · 14/12/2021 21:23

@PeanuttyButter negative ofc😫😫 spotting has completely stopped at this point!

Feeling so deflated. If I'm not pregnant it's pushing back my own few weeks me and my boyfriend have together over Christmas so I'm absolutely gutted. My periods were regular at around 30/31 days and now I'm on day 36. I think I'm going to book into the doctors now at this point as it's been 8 months since my miscarriage and nothing seems to be moving along! Next month I will be fully testing as I stopped doing that as well. I had covid this month so don't know if it's that that's delayed my period😑

Anyone offer any advice if to go to the doctors. Attached my past 6 cycles as well. Just so upset tonight. Sorry everyone x

@apwilso it's crap isnt it. I caught covid in January and that made my cycle longer by a week and the one after by just slightly less. In fact last month was the first time it's been normal.
You could always go to the GP and get them to do bloods to see if you are ovulating.

apwilso · 15/12/2021 07:27

@PeanuttyButter think I'm going to have to. I went from being regular to having covid and now there delayed but I always fine I'm delayed when I'm on vitamins as well so my heads all over now!

When I got pregnant last time I'd been on the tablets they had delayed my period so I come off then and then the next month I was pregnant. So I really don't know anymore what's best to do!

SunnySideUp2020 · 15/12/2021 09:18

@apwilso
Having covid could well be the reason for the delay. If you were ill then ovulation might have been later...

I also found my cyles getting a couple of days longer after my MC. But because of that it was really essential to do opks to really pinpoint ovulation time.
I remember us DTD like crazy thinking it's fertile window and then peak opk being 4 days later and we are drained (literally!), I almost have thrush from all the sex and just overall annoyed that ovulation was late 😑

SunnySideUp2020 · 15/12/2021 09:24

@apwilso initially I did day 21 progesterone if I remember well. And I tested thyroid and for some clotting disorder. All came back good.

After 7 months DH did semen analysis and a urologist MOT. We both had antibiotics for ureaplasma.
I had ultrasound, day 3 bloods where they test a range of hormones at the beg of the cycle and a full blood test which showed too low Vit D and iron which were essential to conceive. I also had a hysterescopy and which showed small polyps in the uterus (she removed them). Was put on a high dose of folic acid, iron and vit D and we conceived the month after.

Kelb79 · 15/12/2021 11:31

Hey everyone, how are you all?

@PeanuttyButter been thinking of you lovely xxx

I’m 5DPO and trying to just relax and enjoy Christmas but I’ve just got zero interest!
I had a few drinks at our staff party on Sunday (2DPO) and I had a really lovely time and I definitely needed to relax and have some fun but now I’m just stuck on the fact that I could’ve messed up our chances this month! 🤦🏼‍♀️🔫

@Sweetbabydust1989 so the 3 things that we’re different when I conceived we’re conceive plus, relaxing (it was my birthday and we were away for the weekend) and having fun (I drank far too much prosecco but I definitely smiled and laughed more than I had for a while thanks to work and TTC stress!!)
So god knows which (if any, or all?) it was but it seemed to be the right combo!! 🤣

PeanuttyButter · 15/12/2021 12:57

Well I'm cd24/9dpo and AF spotting has started. Which means AF will be here tomorrow morning right on time. Gutted isn't the word.

apwilso · 15/12/2021 16:38

@SunnySideUp2020 that's what I'm thinking. I've stopped doing them but decided now I will opk test from this cycle onwards as it isn't working. Amazing news for you on that cycle. I will ring them in the new year if nothing happens!

PeanuttyButter · 17/12/2021 11:59

Guys my period isn't coming, I know it's coming (when you know you know) but it's just not progressing. Got awful cramps like I usually get before but it's just not coming, it wants to delay next month as much as possible. I'm CD 26 of a usual 24 day cycle, BFN this morning and every morning since 7dpo lol.
Add another pregnancy announcement from someone to that and I'm feeling fantastic...

How's everyone else? All ready for xmas?
