@lj2022 interestingly I don't have a single symptom. I feel utterly normal bar the occasional cramp but that's not unknown for me anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DanceWithYourBalloon I see it. I hope it gets darker for you!

@NarnieJoy I'm sorry to hear about your CP. You're definitely right not to blame yourself, take care of yourself

@Dreamingof3 sending wishes for AF for you so you can start TTC. When do you go on holiday?

Fingers crossed @Summerbreeze111 and @tryingtryinggone

@NarnieJoy sorry to hear that. CPs suck..I've had a few. Rest up and take some time for yourself. Please Do not blame yourself as it's very easy to do so.

@NarnieJoy I'm really sorry 🥺 it's absolutely nothing you can blame yourself for xx

@WingingIt09 we go on the 16th. Currently I'm due on 9th but I was hoping to cut a few days off the cycle. Going to be ttc June at this rate 🥴

Hope it arrives soon for you @Dreamingof3 mine should be due 10th/11th and then I can start TTC! Very exciting!

Hi ladies! Hope you're all well, not been on in a week or so - DH got back on board with TTC and luckily haven't missed my fertile week as just got my positive OPK this morning! 🙌🏻

@NarnieJoy sorry to hear about your CP x

@DanceWithYourBalloon its a squinter but I think I see something there!

@keeponsmiling2019 could stress be making your period late?

@NarnieJoy I'm so sorry. Hope you're doing okay ❤

@DanceWithYourBalloon I can see a line - hopefully it darkens into a bfp 🤞🤞

Hi everyone, been ages and I've missed looaaads but so nice to see some success already and so many actively trying! I'm on folic acid in preparation and have just ordered a stack of ovulation sticks ready for as soon as my coil is out.

I need to book an appointment to have the IUD removed but i have no idea where...? GP or family planning? GP wont let me book anything 'non-urgent' so do io need to say this is urgent to get a call? and family planning by me is walk in only is that ok?? I had it put in during surgery for endo so didnt have to arrange anything last time!!

@DanisEndo have you asked your GP reception about an appointment for coil removal specifically? I had a nightmare getting booked it, took me about 6/8 weeks from first call to actual appointment but I got there in the end at my GP surgery (they were very apologetic for the delays / mistakes).
I also booked an appointment at family planning, but ended up cancelling that one as it was later and also was an hour each way for me to travel in the car to get there (!) I booked over the phone though and they were lovely and helpful, just had limited slots.

Anyway just a word of warning. If you're thinking about it try and get your app booked in ASAP - my GP also wanted to do a telephone consultation before removal which needs a separate appointment.

@LucyLoopyLu I didnt get a chance to, to be honest! Receptionist was obviously very rushed and just wanted me off the phone when i said it was non-urgent and didnt require a same day appointment. Seems like such a waste of the doctors time to have a phone consultation before when i dont mind just booking it for a few weeks away :') Just want to know it's scheduled y'know.

I'll try them again and mention coil removal specifically and just do what they say as like yours the family planning here is not convenient.

Thank you for replying!

@LemonZestDribbles possibly!

It's going to be one of three scenarios

1. I'm just having a random long cycle and Af will show any day now
2. The spotting i had CD15-17 was a random short cycle and im in a new cycle and Af will be here in two weeks then I can get cracking with ovulation tests
3. I'm pregnant and it's not showing on tests yet.

I'll check back when I have an update as it's useful for others. Congrats to those with BFPs so far and good luck to the May TTC gang x

@DanisEndo I had my coil removed much sooner than my gp could offer at a family planning clinic - the wait at the gp was nearly 8 weeks! Family planning was walk in or next week appointments

@Tropicana1 Ahhh how did you know they would do it? Did you have to call first or literally turn up? Historically when i went for the pill I'd often be turned away because there was too many people who had got there hours before they opened waiting for walk in appointments 😬

Drs area bit ridiculous at the moment! I can guarantee if it were men who had coils and implants etc they'd all be seen same day 😅

Had my scan today (cat hiding my personal details with his paw 😂)

All looking good thank goodness

@FourOclock awww 🥰 glad it all went well. Did they change your due date at all?

@FourOclock that's a beautiful looking scan 🥰Glad everything went well! x

@FourOclock that's fantastic 😍

@fouroclock congrats! So lovely to see the scan. The cat's paw is just too cute in combination 😭

Oh yes they did! It's 9th November now

Baby is face on in the pic, made it very awkward for screening measurements so I have to go back in a few weeks for different blood tests to check for downs but the sonographer was confident baby was looking okay!

@FourOclock
The cat paw 😂

Awh, so exciting!

@DanisEndo I called ahead to ask if they could / would then went the following week at the walk in clinic they told me to go to!

@FourOclock ah lovely scan picture! Also loving the paw in there too 😻

I can't share this anywhere else 🤣 look what arrived today 😍 hidden away now so my other half doesn't think I've completely lost the plot!

Still no af...cramps though so hopefully by tomorrow 🤞

@Dreamingof3 I love it! I keep thinking about how I want to tell DH I'm pregnant.... last time doing it so want to do something. Need to start deciding as I could be pregnant this time next month 😅

@FourOclock lovely scan photo! 🥰
