Hello yet another thread we have moved to @Annny27 😂😂😂😂😂

[SunnySideUp2020]

💕 thanks Anny

I will be on this thread until you get your bfp. 💫

Hope this is the lucky one with the long overdue ones 🌈

[Angelmama1121]

👋🏻Hi ladies,
I’ve been following your comments for a few weeks. I’m ttc my 3rd baby. My first DD is 3 this week and #2 DS was born sleeping at 24+3 in November. This will be my first cycle ttc.

[Annny27]

@angelmama1121 I am so sorry to hear about your son 💗💗 that really is heartbreaking!

are you tracking your cycles with opks or anything?

@sunnysideup2020 thank you lovely!!

@babyghirl yep another thread! We are the OGs of the thread. That's rubbish about your period :( can you speak to the GP?

[27DONFIN]

Hi ladies I'm still hear and I'm waiting on AF as we speak the hungry and tiredness is a new level 🐷😴

Hope all are well

[27DONFIN]

@Angelmama1121 I'm so sorry you find yourself here ❤️

[PeanuttyButter]

Hello all, new thread a whole load of new luck hopefully!

Thanks for the add @Annny27

That is strange @Babyghirl make sure you mention it at your next appointment maybe you need some progesterone from ovulation? Any update on when you're first IVF appointment is?

I'm 7dpo today or CD20 of a 24 day cycle. I'm afraid to look to see if there's any pre AF spotting which usually starts about now. Just gets me down. Hoping to wait til the weekend to test, trying not to stress anymore.

I've had some bloods done at the local rmc so waiting for the follow up from that. DH has to make an appointment to make a deposit. It's such a short window. They want you to make an appointment to drop off, and need to drop off your deposit at that time but less than a hour after it's been produced. I'm worried that the pressure will get to him and he won't be able to make the deadline... Any tips what they did with their other halves?

[Angelmama1121]

@Annny27 no I’m not yet, I have only had two periods since he was born. They’ve been 28 days apart so this month we’re just going to try and see what happens. If we don’t get pregnant this cycle and AF arrives I’ll have a better idea of how long my cycles are to track ovulation. Didn’t want to get too stressed yet over timings yet.

[27DONFIN]

@PeanuttyButter my other half was very uptight about it all and we got an as early drop off as we could which I think was 930am. Our hospital was only 930-1330 and in that time I think there was 4-5 slots. We are lucky our hospital is a 10 min drive from our house. However as I said my partner was uptight about it all so I had to go with him I had his sample in my bra to keep warm lol

[kiwi17]

@PeanuttyButter my dh felt the same and had only an hour to get it there I'm guessing it's standard. The only advice I have is chase the results - we went through nhs and were told 6 weeks for results. In that time I got pregnant so we weren't as diligent about getting the results but when dh remembered to call up the gp the receptionist told him it was all satisfactory no further action needed. It wasn't until he was at an appointment with the gp for something wrong with his thumb that he looked on the system and went oh, btw did you see your results? Turned out the morphology was 0% I.e none were the normal shape which would normally be a massive issue!! So he was pretty pissed off with them and made a formal complaint so they are now doing further testing. Luckily one seems to have worked somehow miraculously but I would just say definitely make sure you chase for the correct results!! Good luck.

[Kelb79]

Thanks @Annny27 - this group is definitely helping to keep me sane ❤️❤️

@Angelmama1121 that is utterly heartbreaking, I’m so so sorry you’ve had to go through that ❤️❤️❤️

@PeanuttyButter it is sooo much pressure for them! OH did his mid Covid crazy and it ended up with me running around a deserted hospital with a pot of his fellas running out of time as I couldn’t find the lab or anyone to ask where it was!! Comedic now but a nightmare at the time!!
Try to find the comedy, that’s how we got through! And don’t mess up by BD’ing too close to the sample!! I was OV’ing so ruined it by BD’ing - we had to cancel and reschedule but the covid hit so we were held up by 6 months!! 😫😫 And obviously it was an unfruitful BD!!! 😐

Me…. 5DPO today. I’m in an oddly hopeful place about the cycle but that means nothing as we all well know!! 🤣🤣
Nothing to report really 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fingers crossed we can turn this thread completely into a birth club! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[Angelmama1121]

@27DONFIN thank you.
@Kelb79 it’s been really hard. I don’t think I’m ever going to get over it but need to look to the future.

My next AF is due 23rd which is my birthday, and my DS,s due date should’ve been 28th. Not sure I’ve chosen the right time to try, hoping I don’t get to upset when it doesn’t happen.
Congratulations to all the bfps, wishing you all very healthy pregnancies. I have 🤞🏻 for everyone else 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[apwilso]

Hey!! New thread!

I'm on 4th day of high on ovulation monitor. Think ovulation is tomorrow

[TerribleImagination]

I’m still lurking here too, waiting to see you all get those BFP’s ❤️🌈

[H0peing]

I've spent some time offline recently. I'm not currently TTC and my bfp isn't recent anymore but I'm still months away from the end goal and after 4 miscarriages I don't think I'll truly relax until I'm holding my healthy rainbow baby, especially as nearly everyone I know seems to be getting Covid recently and I still have obstacles to overcome. It can seem like one battle after another to protect pregnancy so I've insisted on continuing to take progesterone for as long as they'll allow me to, as it seems to be the main thing that's helped me this time. They said that I could stop taking it from anything between 16 weeks up to 28 weeks. They've recommended that I continue taking low dose aspirin throughout most of this pregnancy as both of my parents have high blood pressure plus mine was borderline high recentiy. I really appreciate all of the support I have received from this group and I'd love to see you all get your bfp's and beyond the bfp to holding your healthy babies in the future and celebrate with you so I hope it's OK for me to stay to celebrate with you.

@Angelmama1121 I am so sorry for what you've been through. That is deeply heartbreaking. Sending loads of love. Xx

[PeanuttyButter]

Pre AF spotting has started CD21 of 24. Bloody hate this, I know I'm out but I'm not on CD1 so havent got the hope that it brings. Had a feeling this month was different too, was convinced it was the month for some reason so full of extra disappointment. DH is disappointed too this month, more so than normal as he thought it was the month too strangely. I know I'm not out out until AF comes properly but I've done thus enough times now to know when it's not a winner.
Good luck all those still in the game!

[apwilso]

I'm on day 5 of high no Lh surge. Did a cheapie ovulation test and look very strong last night but had a massive argument and never DTD. We're over it now you reckon if I have DTD tonight I'll be covered it ovulation was last night?

[Kelb79]

@apwilso omg I’ve been there soooo many times!! But defo DTD - OV can be 24-48hrs after LH surge and up to 24th so after OV is still in with a chance so really you could have up to 72 hours after LH surge! Don’t give up yet 🤪🤪

@PeanuttyButter meh!!! I’m starting to get used to the pre AF bleeding too!! I didn’t used to get it before my MC so I’ve been fooling myself, but when you know you know right 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m still REALLY hoping that you’re wrong this time though 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Rooting for you chick xxx

I’m 6DPO and getting tight niggly cramps around the area of my right ovary - pretty sure I OV’d from that one this cycle. Trying not to read anything into it, could be so many things right 🤷🏼‍♀️ Probably trapped wind 🤣🤣🤣

[apwilso]

@Kelb79 thanks! Can't believe how much those tablets messed me up the other cycles never seen highs before ovulation when I was on them so I don't know what to expect now haha!! Not long now for you to test!

[PeanuttyButter]

Thanks @kelb79 I'm rooting for you too. This last stretch always seems to go so slow for me. Just need it to hurry up so we can move on to the next cycle. When are you planning to test or when is AF due?

Grumpy today too as I've got a banging headache, negative LFT this morning (and BFN on pee stick lol) so I'm either dehydrated or super tired. Or it's a new form of evil PMS, I'm spotty too this month, feel so run down. Got my follow up appointment with the RMC start of March which is something.

@apwilso ovulation for me is usually 36hours plus after my peak so there is still time!

Anyone any plans this weekend?

[Kelb79]

I’m gonna try and hold out on testing early this month….. but I’m sure I’ll cave 🤣🤣🤣
Cramps have stopped, just feeling stupidly emotional now 🙄 sounds like PMS to me!! 🙈

[apwilso]

I@PeanuttyButter thank you!

On day god knows of high so I'm confused at this point because the tests don't even look dark but I'll listen to the monitor. Just doing DTD do it one day miss a day in that routine for a week.

Feeling run down at the minute though 😣

[Sweetbabydust1989]

Wow another new thread wonder how many we can make 😂 how is everyone doing? Xx

[Kelb79]

I’m an emotional wreck this cycle!!!
I had an evening of being utterly convinced I was pregnant then stupidly did a 9dpo test 🤣🤣 Coz I’m an idiot!!! 🙄🔫
BFN of course and will most probably stay that way but I’ve been all over the place! I’m far too aware of how few cycles are left until my would be due date and each one gets harder!
Doing a seriously great job of manifesting symptoms this month if I’m not pregnant 🤣 my body is getting reeeaaally good at that!! 🙄

Where’s everyone at??? I’m 10DPO now…. And counting the minutes!!
