Valentines, pancakes, BFPs etc thread 2

[DancinOnTheCeiling]

Just made a new thread as the other one was filling up...

@kizzy97 oh no how annoying! It must be frustrating your cycles have just changed all of a sudden. Is there anything you did differently the last couple of cycles that may have caused it? For example, when I first started supplements, it changed my cycles, but now they have reverted back to how they were. I've heard covid booster or getting covid has also changed cycles in some.

My AF turned up on Saturday, so I'm on to the next cycle. I have my HSG booked for next Wednesday and feeling nervous about it.

@kizzy97 Sorry to hear that :(

@Tinkerbell098 I had one of those a few years ago and found it to be far less uncomfortable than I was expecting :)

Welcome trythenight. Tommorrow I'll test. I've got one child and fiirst time didn't feel pregnant for months tbh. This month I have a heat rash, itchy skin from a temperature I had with a cold. I have had that rash once before, a few weeks postnatally. So I'm hoping it's a symptom. My cold is nearly done, af due on Friday. I was going to wait until the weekend to test but I think I'll just do it tomorrow morning.

@Tinkerbell098 no, nothing different I don't have a clue what's going on. I had my implant taken out in July and right off the bat went back to 28 days like clockwork and then only from last cycle have they gone funny! Maybe I'm just having a dodgy couple of months and hopefully it'll go back to normal next cycle.

Hope everything goes well with your HSG, I completely understand your nerves but at least you'll get your answers hopefully. I try with pep talks and cheer ups but I'm not very good 🤦‍♀️ xxx

@TheBirdintheCave thank you, will be cycle #6 next xxx

@Bramblecrumble21 everything crossed for you for tomorrow! xxx

Hi Ladies,
Checking in to see how you all are. I've got the March chat open ready as don't really have much hope at all for this month but then I'm still symptom spotting like an idiot it's ridiculous. Then I'm looking at calender like well if it don't get pregnant next month then it won't be a 2022 baby, like I annoy myself alot ha ha.
Sending lots of baby dust to everyone, and those who have got their BFPs send some tips our way as I don't know what else to try ha ha xx

@Brunette1989 I'm the same not got much hope!!

I'm 9dpo tomorrow I have my next fertility appointment tomorrow so I was going to do a FRER in the morning just to see. I know it's very early. Probably a waste of a test isn't it? Xx

@Brunette1989 I do the same thing 😅 I use actual due date calculators as well it's a problem 🤦‍♀️ xx

@J90A it can't hurt to do one, just try and remember if it is BFN that it could still be too early (easier said than done I know, espcially when you see a BFN and feel deflated regardless) I have everything crossed for you though and hope your appointment goes well tomorrow xx

I’ve crashed out guys… onto the next one 🤭 lots of love everyone still testing in Feb xx

@J90A I'm 7 DPO today so still a week long wait. I don't test early any more as I kept doing it getting BFN but then still hoping incase it was too early, then AF would rock up and i would be a mess 🤣 but that's just me, do what works for you and if you've got a fertility appointment then makes sense to do one.
Whats your appointment specifically for if you don't mind me asking? My partners being tested this month and then I'm going back to the doctors to progress my tests as they wouldnt do any further until then. it will be just over a year TTC then with 1 miscarriage nothing else and its breaking me. Xx

Hi guys

12dpo here

I've been trying for about a year no symptoms and AF due on Thursday not feeling very hopeful bit trying to distract myself!!! Planning to test Wednesday as was advised to wait until then by doctors.

Congrats to the BFPs so far and good luck everyone I expect I'll be joining march too!!!!

X

@kizzy97 😊 thanks.

@Brunette1989 oh I know it's so upsetting seeing that negative isn't it!! I have one test left over from last month then I'm not buying anymore! 🤦‍♀️😂

I have pcos with very irregular cycles so ive been on clomid for 8 months (I've ovulated 6 times) this one is the 6th. So I'm not sure if there is another issue or if it can just take this long but I know when I ovulate down to a few days as I get scans so I don't know. My appt is where to go from here. I will be going on the ivf waiting list but I need to lose a stone before they will put me on. I will find out tomorrow if they will try something else or keep me on clomid. Is such a hard journey isn't it! Total emotional rollercoaster! Xx

Hi @J90A

I'm on ovulation induction too, this is month 2 for me on Letrozole, about a year overall with trying. Totally understand how you feel as you know you ovulate and exactly when etc on this medication so you definitely 100% DTD on the right days so when it still doesn't work its so hard.

I've been advised only to do 3 round of Letrozole before IVF!

Anyway I'm 12 dpo but told not to test until 14DPO as had the trigger shot on CD14 and it can apparently give a false positive if testing too early? SO I'm holding out..... so tough

@ElleBelleLou huge congrats!

@TryTheNight welcome! These groups kept me going when I had my daughter, I hope you get a positive soon!

@J90A I would do one in the morning before you go, it may be too early but can't hurt giving it a go just in case

So I officially have the weirdest cycles. I've spent ages analysing my cycle from the month I conceived my DD to see if the pattern is the same this time and it looks like it is. I've been doing OPK's all month and I'm currently CD24 and I'm pretty sure I am ovulating today and worked out I'm pretty sure I conceived my DD on CD25! I'm due AF in 6 days so must just have a super short luteal phase. I had a peak on my OPK yesterday and I'm really crampy this evening.

I think I need to move over to the March group cos I definitely won't be testing till then now

@ViL89 it's so hard isn't it! Yeah I've had a trigger shot and no one told me it gives a false positive and I tested 🤦‍♀️. Is letrozole injections or tablets? I'm going to ask about that tomorrow as I feel like I've had enough of clomid lol. Xx

Congratulations @sa

Congratulations to those who have gotten their BFPs! Wishing yous a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Sorry to those who are out 😔

@DancinOnTheCeiling I'm so sorry to hear your news. Try to take care of yourself ❤️

Hi @J90A

Yes it's tablets taken CD2 to 6 I think it's similar to clomid. I think because the trigger shot has HCG so I think it can give false positives. Maybe see what the docs say tomorrow best of luck. I have a frer staring at me and it's 12dpo so hard to hold off lol

X

@ViL89 yeah very similar! Yes it is. No one told me it was a trigger shot I was getting tho or that o could get a false positive lol. Coz it was used to try stop a cyst producing hormones. It's soo hard isn't it!! I say every month I'm not testing at all but I always do 🤦‍♀️😂 xx

AF due today. I have the cheap tests, so I'm not sure how sensitive they are. After I get some sleep, I'll start obsessively testing (unless AF arrives by then). I'm definitely an over-tester, but I can't help it. Lol.

Feeling really flat this morning, I'm currently 10/11dpo and the last few days my boobs have been really burning and tingling (I never get boob pain before AF) and the past couple of days I have been feeling really sick in the afternoon (to the point at which I was almost sick yesterday!) I did an FRER this morning and it was a bfn I know it's still a bit early but can't help feeling really crushed.

@TryTheNight me too! lol.

@Jellysweet ya still early try not to let it get you done. Easier said that done I know!

I've woken up with night sweats which I usually get just before AF but I'm only 8/9 DPO. Does this mean anything or am I clutching at straws 😂. (I also had this with Covid mind you) 😂

@J90A I had night sweats before I found out I was pregnant with my son. It was my only symptom :)

So, after alternately dreaming about BFPs and spotting all night I had to get up at 6am with IBS and didn’t want to waste the FMU.

Tentative faint positive on a FRER... I am shocked. I’ll take a photo after my husband has gone to work as I want to surprise him but don’t want to say anything until it gets darker so will test again in a couple of days :/ It’s not as faint as the chemical I think I had at Christmas and it came up within five minutes. I think I’m 13dpo but if I ovulated up to 48 hours after my ovulation cramps then I guess I could be as early as 11? I had some cramping yesterday afternoon and evening so thought AF would be here today...

@TheBirdintheCave oh that gives me hope!! BFN this morning but I'm only 8/9 DPO 🤦‍♀️😂.

Omg congratulations! How long have you been ttc this time. Xx

@J90A Don’t congratulate me just yet haha I haven’t seen it in daylight so it’s probably all in my head x__x
