Keeping each other company (thread 2)

[Cruz86]

@Ladylou17 @Mama500 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Lucyasc @FlipperyGibbet

Just started this new thread because ours is full. Hope the name change isn't confusing 😂 Tagging you too @rita83 if you ever pop back in to say hi! Have I missed anyone? I'm so rubbish with my memory 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

@Cruz86 I'm pretty certain it was 6/2 matches with Opk and temp shift. I honestly will not test again next month until 12dpo 😂 I'll need shares in FRER otherwise lol xx

Haha we always say this though and end up testing early! Let's see what happens over the next couple of days @Ladylou17 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Cruz86 I know so frustrating! Its a line clear as day in person. I may have a month of doing nothing next month and see but it's so hard doing that isn't it 🤦‍♀️😂 you ok?xx

@Ladylou17 it’s still there but it is faint.

It may be worth you asking for a scan of your lining. Because there is definitely hcg in your system these aren’t evaps

@Ladylou17 all my fingers crossed it gets darker xx

Thanks @Mama500 I might ring the gp tomorrow xx

It is so hard doing nothing @Ladylou17 😂 I take it you haven't tested today? I'm okay thanks, had a temp dip today though. Worried that I have too many estrogen surges in the luteal phase xx

@Cruz86 has your temp gone back up this morning? I haven't and my temp has dropped right on time this morning I'm certain AF will show up, I'll ring gp and then I think this month no temping and see if it helps bring less aware I doubt it though 😂😂 hope you guys are all ok xx

Yeah it has gone back up @Ladylou17 but I'm not sure how accurate it is because my son had a nightmare and everything was disrupted! Oh I'm sorry 😩 I really hope the temp drop doesn't mean anything but I would definitely speak to your gp about the faint lines you keep getting xx

Hi guys - sorry, I'm not on here much at the mo. Sorry to see you're possible facing disappointment again @Ladylou17 ! Have you had your progesterone checked?

@Cruz86 how many DPO are you? I forgot a put my bracelet on quite a bit last week but even so, I have a mirror image pattern of the month before so I think it will be very clear when/if I do become pregnant.

I'm on CD3. 12th month now (I think). We are now 3.5 weeks into my partner taking Proxeed and he has completely stopped the nicotine pouches which hopefully will help greatly. We are trying to stay hopeful every month still, even though I know we have such a small percentage chance. I really underestimated the toll this could possible take on my mind and how much pressure it would put on our relationship. I think the frustrating and impatience of the whole thing has really got to us in these last few months.

Hope you all have a good week x

@FlyOnTheWall89 I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I'm on cycle 8 and am feeling it so I can only imagine how you feel. Fingers crossed the changes will help lovely.
Yes my progesterone was 60 so I'm definitely ovulating and at a high level. My LH and FSH were all normal too.
My DH has SA on the 8/3 so will wait to see.
I'm going to just stop tracking and see what happens I think, I'm getting too stressed and sad each month.
@Cruz86 that's good! How many dpo are you now?xx

@Ladylou17 yes with that it would seem an optimal environment for pregnancy. I think it's good we have a reason. Many don't have a reason and it is excruciating to not understand why! So I am thankful for that.

Hopeful that I will be pregnant by the end of this year... not sure I can expect much more than that rn.

I really hope so for you both @FlyOnTheWall89
Im going to do nothing next month and just see what happens i think I've tried everything else 😂 xx

Hi @FlyOnTheWall89. Yes it's good that you'll be able to easily tell when you do fall pregnant! My temps are literally all over the place and don't help me at all!! I'm 6dpo according to my apps. I'm overanalysing everything this cycle for some reason.

I actually read something earlier about Proxeed helping to conceive so fingers crossed for you. This whole process is testing enough on a relationship, let alone when you've been going through it for as long as you have. Just keep talking to each other and being open with how you're both feeling 🤗

@Ladylou17 I don't blame you for not tracking anything next month. It consumes our lives!! Xx

@Cruz86 @Ladylou17 I just called to see if there was a chance of my July appointment being moved forward at all and they've had a cancellation for TOMORROW morning so she slotted me in. So happy to actually be able to speak to a doctor - I think she will go through all my tests, which as far as I've been told are normal... then I'll be able to ask about next steps - I have no idea where my partner comes into this because it is likely to be male factor but rn he has no NHS referral or investigation for his side of things. Maybe I'll find out more tomorrow.

Oh wow, that's amazing @FlyOnTheWall89!! Who is the appointment with? Surely he will have to go with you too if it's a fertility clinic? X

It's just a phone consultation and it's with the gynaecology department which is standard procedure for a referral - imagine waiting until July ......!!!!!!! Anyway, hopefully I'll find out a bit more. Just someone in the know saying my results are as good and 'normal' as they look will be reassuring. Perhaps they'll recommend something or give me a timeline or a bit more info about the process in my area.

@FlyOnTheWall89 that's amazing so pleased for you xx

Ah got it. He certainly wouldn't need to be part of a gynaecology appointment @FlyOnTheWall89 🤣 It's great that they've bought it forward because you can confirm everything is okay with you now and get advice on what to do next! It would've been terrible to wait until July for that. Let us know how you get on x

@Cruz86

AF has arrived bang on time so here's to next month. No temping and just seeing how we go and relax a little maybe a Prosecco or 2 with zero guilt ha!. @Cruz86 and @Janey3090 crossing my fingers for you this month xx

Oh man, I'm so sorry @Ladylou17 😩 I've had a few drinks this cycle and I actually felt quite relaxed about it, so I hope you can do the same and just try to have a bit of fun xx

Hope everyone is doing ok?? @FlyOnTheWall89 my fingers are crossed for you! I've just started doing OPK's any advice? Using the premom app and the tests that go alongside the app easy at home I think? X

Hi @Lucyasc. What cycle day are you on? I'd probably test twice a day so you don't miss your peak x

Only day 5 at the moment I thought my AF was over but seems today is the last day but I tested today just to make sure I was doing it right lol. I'm really worried we are going to miss out this month my H2B is going on his Stag Do Thurs-Sun this week although both my tracking apps predict 2nd/3rd march as ovulation day I'm still worried probably for no reason haha x

Ah okay, still early then @Lucyasc! When do you think you normally ovulate and how long are your cycles usually? X
