[Peonies94]

Ready for when our current one fills up, only 100 messages away!

@Moosh18 I am sending you the biggest hugs xx 💗🥰🤗

@Moosh18 im not sure it wouldn’t sorry! I have irregular cycles and I had one prediction out of the 3 cycles! It’s a bit hit and miss!

@Peonies94 no worries, we are just gonna go with flo for forseablw anyway, hopefully I won't find out I'm pregnant next time till like 8 weeks! 😂

@Moosh18 I don’t blame you! Take it easy and be kind to yourself! ❤️ How amazing would that be?

I had my d and c today it was so traumatic but I'm so glad it's over finally, x

@Moosh18 sending you so so so much love 🥰
Please look after yourself and take time to grieve your loss. What a horrible experience to go through 💐 xxx

@Loz365 thank you, it's hit us hard, but in time we will be okay...

Hope you are all okay! Distract me! Any updates ladies???

@Moosh18 I have no good news yet. OPKs are still negative and OvuSense chart still on a dip!
Hoping something happens tomorrow, we've gone for DTD every other day just to make sure we're covered. Can't bring myself to try every day while my body can't decide if it's ovulating or not!!
CD21 today, last month ovulation was CD24 so 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for something similar 🫠

Morning!

What do you guys think about my chart?
Last month my temp rise was really clear, wondering if this might be more of a steady climb...?!

I had a positive CB on Tuesday and near positive cheapie on Wednesday. I thought they were wrong but maybe not? X

Morning!

@Loz365 it's definitely on the way up and moving in the right direction! I've seen plenty of charts with a steady climb like that- maybe you'll get a jump up tomorrow?

@Moosh18 so sorry that you had to go through that, it is the absolute worst. I hope you are looking after yourself xx

No news from me either. CD21 and I'm still waiting for ovulation. My temps are steady but my OPKs are all over the place. I've had a high reading every single day since CD16, where they are pretty much identical- about 1.05 on the app, but then I'll take another one at a different time on the same day, and it'll be something like 0.75. There's no pattern at all- sometimes it'll be higher in the morning, then other days the evening one is higher. I can't help but think my hormones are out of whack!

I've never had this before- despite having PCOS I have always found OKPs to be reliable. The only thing that has changed is taking the metaformin. I put so much faith into it, hoping it would shorten my cycles quickly, but it looks like I'm going to need to be a bit more patient. What with the two miscarriages and now this, it's very hard not to feel let down by my body.

I'm going to be indulging in alcohol and caffeine this weekend to cheer myself up!

@Loz365 is deffo say that's right then!!! Those rises look like it confirms what clear blue said!

@theblueflowers it's so so frustrating when you don't know what's going on with your own body, my cycles are always so so messed up and god knows what they will be like after this, I've had two miscarriages now, and it really gives you no faith in your own body. I really do understand that! X

Hello all,

Sorry I took a few days out - wasn't feeling the greatest.
How are you all doing?

Thinking of you still @Moosh18 x

@RMS0209 thank you lovely, xxx

How are you doing? Where are you at currently? Sorry lost track of everyone!

I'm gonna be back joining you all on the ttc bus again soon hopefully, I think I'm just going to get the concieve plus vitamins and not track at all over summer just keep trying x

@Moosh18
I'm ok, I'm currently 11/12DPO... Ovusense thinks I I ovulated on day 25 Ff thinks day 26!

Not much to report, had a temp rise this morning but nothing else.

Got the results form my private fertility app not the best :( I had a high AMH - have any of you had yours tested? X

What's Amh sorry? @RMS0209

@Moosh18 I am so so sorry to hear your news. Thinking of you massively. Have been through the same so if you ever need to chat, I'm here.

I had some Mumsnet time out as v low over here... Have still been tracking, I'm ovulating today but DH has covid and doesn't want to play ball and I'm meant to be at Glastonbury in two weeks so trying to give myself the month off. It's hard tho.

My due date should be next sat so just preparing myself for feeling rubbish for the next few weeks.

@RMS0209 hope you are ok. I had high AMH, my doctor was impressed but I googled it and it's common with PCOS, so have chalked it up to that.

Hope everyone else is well and lovely to hear your news @Peonies94 ❤️

Hi @MO22

I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling low too, sending you big mums net hugs. What cycle day are you today?
It doesn't help any but least you have something to look forward to this month (I'm slightly jealous!)

My due date is today, so I'm a little sad but trying to stay semi ok, I'm here for you💗

Yeah I have been down some google rabbit holes and that's what it's looking like, bit sad but trying to hold it together.
I've ordered a book to try understand it's more and I've got a list of things to buy shopping wise - won't let this bring me down!
I have my consultation on the 4th so hopefully get a better idea then.
Tried to speak to my GP about it.. absolutely no use! Usual 😢

Stay strong xxx

@RMS0209 ah a massive handhold for today. I hope you are looking after yourself. It's so hard isn't it, thinking it what could have been, but it's important to look forwards and have hope.

Have you been formally diagnosed with PCOS? To be honest, the private gynae I spoke to said the AMH was a good result and means I would react well to IVF etc if we ever went down that route. But when I googled it, it was clear it's due to PCOS... Did yours do other tests, how were those results?

I feel like I manage my PCOS pretty well so if you need any reccos of supplements.etc just shout, I'm sure you're taking a lot of them anyway.

I'm back on metaformin (saw you mentioned it @theblueflowers) and I still am only ovulating on CD 19 which is annoying, was hoping it would my cycle a bit shorter, but hey ho.

@RMS0209 I’m sorry to hear! What did they say?

sorry to hear, keep yourself busy today and try and do something for you❤️!

I hope your next appointment makes things a bit more clear for you!

@MO22 sorry your feeling low! Aww no :(! I’m sorry to hear you’ve been unable to cover this month, but glad you’ve got something to look forward to!
aww I’m so sorry ❤️ Thinking of you! If you need anything just know we are here for you!

Thank you both @Peonies94 @MO22
I think once today is out the way I might feel a bit more relaxed about it all... well I hope so 💗
But as you say - looking forward and having hope it will all fall into place.

@MO22 no no official diagnosis yet, so I went for my private fertility scans and bloods remember? This is just everything being uploaded onto the portal, so I have 0 idea I need to wait and not get to stressed until I have my consultation.
I think I phoned my GP yesterday for reassurance but... well didn't happen, I think I'm going to be struggling to push for metaformin or anything else that will help.
I think I was more angry that he said "I imagine you'll fall pregnant naturally" and he thought a high AMH was something that just got higher with age 😢 give me strength!! He said to call him back after my consultation on 4th July so I have time to mentally prepare for that 😂
I think dependent on what the consultant says I might look down the IVF route if the rates are good, I don't want to be in this pickle every month it's not nice.
When I get my other results I will send them to you is that ok? But a good thing is I did ovulate this cycle I had that confirmed with bloods from GP

I'd like some recommendations if you do have time I have ordered some...

Zita West Inositol and Folate
I also have COQ10 (the orange capsule from Costco) and just plain folic acid so anything else you think hit me with it.. thank goodness for Amazon 😂 I'm off to buy chia seeds and almond milk today it's meant to be good x

@RMS0209 yes I remember! Ok, so consultation on the 4th with the private gynae? That's a way away, can't they see you soon! Especially if you are paying ha. also GPs are useless but you can definitely say to them give me metaformin. Did the consultant not say anything to you about your ovaries and whether they looked polycystic on the ultrasound when it was happening? Sorry if I've missed some stuff, been off Mumsnet for a bit!

I will send you a proper response a bit later, just on my way to my brother in law's 40th but I shall get my geek on for you on the train on the way home on supplements etc and some stuff to read.

@MO22
Sorry wow never noticed how much I wrote... was away on a rant haha.
So yes private fertility clinic consultation is 4th July BUT I'm getting my OH a sperm analysis next Thursday (lucky him lol) so we will get the results all in one.
I know it wasn't the cheapest feel like I've paid just for extra stress for a few weeks 😂🫠

Ok I will bear that in mind for my GP
It was a nurse that scanned me she said "have you been diagnosed with PCOS or anything before" and I said "no" and she said "ok" then said my follicle reserve was above average for my age and that it looked good... how wrong she was!!
No literally just speaking about it now, didn't get much from them it was worlds quickest scans and bloods.
I will be picking up my blood results from the DR next week Tuesday so I will send them to you too. He said everything looked good
Said my progesterone was 36.3 and anything above 35 is good so... hearing different info

Have a great time at your brother in laws, catch up later xx

@RMS0209 morning, hope yesterday was as manageable as possible and you are feeling ok.

DH finally seemed up for DTD last night (twice...will wonders never cease?!) so I'm praying that yesterday was day of ovulation, looks like ovusense will confirm tomorrow. My OPKs were v odd and the highest I got to was 0.7 so thought I wasn't going to ovulate but ovusense seems think otherwise. 🤞🏼 I'd be due to get AF Wednesday and go to Glastonbury Thursday so I've just managed to scrape in if so... Hoping for a reason not to have to go, but also if I do get AF then at least it's good distraction (ugh whilst camping!)

Sounds like you'll get more detail on the 4th but I don't think having a high AMH is a problem necessarily, it just means it's a higher indicator for PCOS alongside other factors. PCOS definitely not a life sentence, it's annoying and I wish someone had told me that there does seem to be a link between higher risk of miscarriage with it, but lots of people conceive and have babies with it.

I've attached the recommended supplements for PCOS and TCC, I take most of these, and read It starts with the egg (this is from there) which made me feel like I was taking active steps to improve everything.

Sorry that was an essay!

Morning @MO22

Thank you, I'm glad it's over... I thought I'd feel a sense more I don't know what the word I'm looking for is, but I do feel a bit calmer now.

Yay for DH wanting to DTD... love this! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 really hope it was, and as we say... it only takes one. Your chart is looking great too.

Yes defiantly, I will be making a list of notes/questions for the 4th and hopefully get some answers.

I think I just gave myself a fear and thought great here's something else to hold us back.. can never win.

Thanks so much for sending that snippet through, could you give me the names of the things you are taking is that ok? X
