@MrsGrealish how you doing today?
@Chellooo sorry about the MMC but glad to hear you are feeling positive and ready to try again!
@Tropicana1 😂I think it's pretty impossible to not symptom spot to be fair!!

I am CD9 today and feel like i have either peaked yesterday or i am going to peak today early as i just had a quite strong opk now. Both me and hubby are ill and the last time we dtd was about a month ago🤣 so very old swimmers there even if we manage to do anything tonight. Was looking forward to having my period back so that we can resume things and now this 🤣 hate my luck

@alwaysseeingstars hey! Yay for CD5 now, how you doing? Hopefully that's night shift finished?
@Tropicana1
I am 8DPO today... I got a few blood tests done successfully at the dr yesterday so just waiting on my results.

Not much to report here, already know it's not going to be a BFP but for me but hey ho staying optimistic

Somebody must have something exciting to tell me! X

@Kitty901 oh bless you! Hope you're not feeling too rough and can manage DTD tonight
@RMS0209 have had a few days off, back on nights as of tonight! Definitely doesn't make TTC that easy and we definitely don't DTD as much as we both wish we did 😆ooh what DPO are you now? Don't say that, you definitely are still in with a chance! Good luck with the blood results 😘
Definitely agree with wanting people to have some good news - come on people!!

@alwaysseeingstars back in a week hormone levels have dropped but not enough. Weird blob on scan they are now calling a clot. Had 2 internals today a sister and a doctor.

@MrsGrealish oh no, I'm so sorry you're having to go through all this - I imagine your emotions are all over the place (not to mention having to have 2 internals, that's bad enough in itself without the rest of the turmoil going on) sending hugs xx

@alwaysseeingstars every nurse, sister, dr has been different. Every time I get this is a non viable pregnancy. I know this. I explained the pain I was in last night. She put it in her notes. Then at the end of the appointment said please ring if you are in any pain. I'm like 'li did that last night no one seemed interested'

Sorry ladies I'm not feeling very positive at all today 😭

@MrsGrealish don't apologise, we're here and supportive for the good and the bad!! My only advice after numerous ongoing issues is to just keep phoning any time you're in severe pain, it's the only way to get them to really pay attention (you may feel it's a waste of time, and as an individual call it kinda is, but I promise in the bigger picture it's worth it!)

Ah @MrsGrealish how bloody frustrating - also never seeing the same person / no continuity of care at all. Not surprised you're feeling really down about it now it's bad enough that you're having to go through a miscarriage but all the up and down and how much it's dragging on is so unfair

@Kitty901 ooh that's an early ovulation CD9!

@RMS0209 was one of the blood tests hcg or is it all just oestrogen / progesterone levels? Although 8dpo would probably be still too early to pick up on a blood test too

5dpo today, the tww just drags doesn't it. I'll probably test stupidly this weekend at 9/10dpo out of sheer boredom for waiting

@MrsGrealish I am so sorry to hear you are going through all this x

@MrsGrealish i am so sorry, i hope you feel better soon! It has been dragging on way too long for you now x

My opks are getting lighter now meaning i must have had the peak yesterday but since i didn't test i didn't realised that, as i was so ill. Wonder whether there is any point doing anything now 🤔 with all these old swimmers there, ovulation must be today. I am so annoyed we have completely missed it this cycle, waited for it so long! Did not expect such an early ovu.

@Kitty901 how dark was the peak? Did u load it on to premom site? Think my earliest peak was CD10.

Have just ordered myself tiny huggie earrings, a crop top for when my bloatedness finally goes and a designer bag. I still have that promotion to celebrate so fuck it 😂

Yes @MrsGrealish 🙌love that! I find ordering things rather than going shopping is better, then you get the excitement of ordering it AND the excitement when receiving it 😄and definitely celebrate that promotion!

@Tropicana1 hi!
It was....... dont quote me I might say wrong
FSH/LH/Cholesterol/Blood count/ something else (oops) and progesterone x

@MrsGrealish i didn't as i deleted that app, i found it annoying. It as was close to the control line but not and absolute peak and since the test line got lighter during the day makes me think i had a peak last night. So frustrating! Even if we dtd tonight, ovulation must have been today i assume 🤔 the pills i took last month must have caused the early ovulatuon, i tested sunday and was negative and tested this morning and was close to peak.

Update for those who care... blood results back, everything has came back satisfactory and ovulation has been confirmed this cycle x

@RMS0209 yes I care! That's really good news 😊 good luck this cycle🤞

@alwaysseeingstars I love ordering stuff too..it's way more relaxing having a nosy with a cup of tea😘 and then waiting for your pressies..from me to me xx

@RMS0209 that is good, my bloods came fine too except my iron which is low. Have a scan at the end of the month with nhs

@RMS0209 great news!
When do you think you'll pregnancy test this month? You're around 9dpo now is that right?

@Kitty901 might be worth still testing for a few more days in case it was an almost surge that hasn't caused ovulation you might get another full surge in a few days - do you follow your bbt to confirm?

@Tropicana1 no i don't i never have 🤔 i will keep testing to see, hope i didn't miss it but highly likely

@Kitty901 I found this article about different types of LH surges a few weeks ago and it's very interesting
Apparently there are 3 types (and it can vary cycle to cycle)

A short surge
A prolonged surge
A biphasic surge (where it almost peaks then dips then peaks for real)

modernfertility.com/blog/normal-lh-level/

I think i have a short surge as my opks are peak only for a couple of hours, it was near peak this morning and then no second line there at all this evening meaning must have had my peak last night and with hubby having a 39 temp this evening we couldn't do anything meaning this month has gone down the drain😭 i am so frustrated had 32 days cycle last month because of these pills and couldn't wait for the new cycle then that happened. 7 months feels like ages now! I don't even have a hope now and have another month ahead to wait for the next ovulation. I am just going to have an early nap😭

Yeah I'm feeling happy about that now!

@Tropicana1 I'm 9DPO today, I don't test though the heartbreak I felt in Jan from testing was too much.. if I can get to DPO14 without spotting then I'll think about it I normally start spotting DPO11/10 so we will see what happens! X

@RMS0209 ah fair enough totally get that

• I'm the complete opposite, I prefer to see an answer one way or the other as early as possible because I'm so impatient and hate the waiting game haha! Can't just not test when it's possible I might be pregnant / get a positive test!
