TTC chat thread 4

[Tropicana1]

New thread ladies as were nearly at 1000 and I don't want to lose you guys 😂

Yes quite confident it is! I think AF will arrive over the next 2 days! Ah fingers are crossed for you! I hope this is your month!

@alwaysseeingstars thank you.
@Hjudge56 sorry, that's rubbish.
I'll keep you updated. I've no idea how this is going to go, I don't really feel anything towards AF or pregnancy if I'm honest! 🙈

@MamaSJ15 I think it’s so easy to overthink the symptoms though so whether you have them or not- it’s possible your pregnant!

@Hjudge56 I keep thinking AF is gonna arrive but it still hasn't. Very occasionally I'll get a slight feeling of start of cramping but it fades very quickly. 🤷🏼‍♀️ This is one of my stranger cycles. BFN early evening on a IC too.

@Hjudge56 aaaand AF arrived this morning. Full of a cold and AF .. this is gonna be a fun week 😂

@MamaSJ15 oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that - I had high hopes for you this month! Is this hopefully a sign though that your LP is returning to a more normal for you length?
Sorry to hear you have a cold too :( I have covid currently and am feeling absolutely rotten - wish I could have a few days in bed but sadly I work I can work remotely (so no excuse of passing it on) and have a crazy amount of work to get done!

@MamaSJ15 ah I’m sorry to hear! I can tell I am right behind you! AF will show up for me today, I’ve got all my usual signs!!!
I will update you for sure but very sure it’s coming today!

@Havanalily1806 have you done anymore tests?

@Hjudge56

Unfortunately my temp dropped yesterday morning and test was BFN. Today I've had no symptoms at all so knew it was a chemical. And my 'AF' has now just arrived.

Struggled a bit yesterday as I think I was still experiencing all the symptoms so was tired and sick as well, but feeling a lot better today. It's only cycle 2 for us, albeit it 4 months in due to my irregular cycles....

Ironically I only tested early as I had an appointment with a private fertility doctor today and I'd had all the symptoms I wanted to make sure. We've cancelled that now until we new what was going on, but will rearrange. I'm sure I have PCOS and this probably confirms that even more, although I'm aware there's a number of reasons for it.

I'd always thought I'd struggle to conceive so I was expecting it weirdly, definitely too good to be true to be past the 12 week mark just in time for Christmas to tell family etc.

Hopefully this doesn't put my cycles even more to pot and I can try again soon

@Havanalily1806 i am so sorry to hear. I had a chemical a few months back, had the faint lines as you did and then nothing the next day, so I completely understand. We are here for you!

Will you go to the doctor to discuss the possibility of PCOS?

Sending you a big hug ❤️

@Hjudge56 thank you, I know I think I had already prepared myself, it happens to others so often on here unfortunately.

I had already been for blood tests which came back with a high ratio of LH to FSH which they said is a sign of PCOS but told me to come back in 3 months if things haven't settled 🙄. I just have no trust in the NHS at the minute due to other family members being really let down, nothing is even close to being dealt with at a normal time frame, never mind quick, so we decided for now to use the private route as much as we can financially.... will need to see what is needed longer term.

Probably going to reach back out to the private clinic and rearrange, even just so we have more of an idea what we are dealing with.

@Havanalily1806 well hopefully it will be the right time sometime very soon ❤️

I really hope you get some solid answers soon lovely xxx

@alwaysseeingstars thank you, yeah hopefully means its getting longer. Just wish ovulation go back to being a little earlier again but at least I am ovulating I guess!
@Hjudge56 thanks, has AF arrived for you as you expected?
@Havanalily1806 oh I'm sorry, that's rubbish 😕

@MamaSJ15 it hasn’t arrived just yet but I suspect today is the day. Woken up with cramps and just generally feel really tired and meh.. which is classic AF-around-the-corner symptoms for me!

I’ve decided I’m going to properly track ovulation this cycle so I’m going to order some tests for that today

HI ladies, Just thought I'd pop on here for a bit of a talking to.... I only just came on here 2 days ago.
We're currently on cycle 13... TTC #1
I use clear blue ovulation tacking... I hit my peak on 1/10. We were on holiday so lots of relaxation and time to DTD.
2 days ago I had milk cramping and slight spotting of pink and then brown, it lasted only 2 trips to the toilet.... Last night I had a decent amount of clear/brown gummy mucous discharge which is unusual for me.
I had BFN today. Although, I think I'm a little nauseous but I don't know if I'm imagining it and symptom spotting....
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
I'm desperately trying not to get my hopes built up but its so difficult when it is something you want, as you guys will be very much familiar with.
The complication to being positive this cycle would be our due date would be the same date as our wedding!! This doesn't bother us as we will just rearrange our wedding but how comical would that be!

@Ncl31 hey! It sounds like that could have been implantation but it may take a few days of hcg to build up so try not to be disheartened by BFN today. I would test again in a couple days!!

@Hjudge56 I’m seriously hoping so. But trying not to get my hopes built up too much

@Ncl31 hopefully it is good news- keep us updated!

@Hjudge56 how are we doing? Did AF arrive or are you still in the game?
@Ncl31 wow that does sound like it could be implantation. When is AF due for you? That would be quite funny having your due date and wedding fall on the same day 😂

@MamaSJ15 AF is due 21st according to Clearblue app.
probably about right, I ovulated early this month.
just keeping fingers crossed and seeing how we go.
itll be just my luck! Somehow I’m not sure they’d allow a marriage via video call from labour ward!

@MamaSJ15 had a bit of a weird situation this month! Currently CD30 (usually 26-28 day cycle). I have tested on cheapies and BFN every time but no AF as of yet! I keep getting AF cramps though so I’m not sure what’s happened- maybe just an off cycle! I’m guessing it will be any day now xx

how are you feeling?

@Ncl31 fingers crossed this is your month 🤞
@Hjudge56 that sounds a bit like my cycle this time. Hoping for a late bfp for you 🤞 otherwise roll on AF so you can try again! I've been feeling rough all week. Horrid cold and it moved to my sinuses so my whole face hurt ,😠 hoping for a better day today!

@MamaSJ15 AF showed up early this morning! Very odd cycle for me! I’m going to use ovulation sticks this time as I’m so confused about this last cycle!

how are you feeling?

@Hjudge56 ah I'm sorry, but at least you know, the limbo but is horrible isn't it! Yeah that's why I started using ovulation tests too.
I'm not too bad, bit better than yesterday but still not back to 100% yet. I've said I'd babysit my neice this afternoon so I'm trying to psych myself up for dealing with DD and her cousin being mental together 😂

@MamaSJ15 yeah I’m okay tbh! Just confused about ovulation because I feel like my LP was much longer than usual! But going to track this month and see!

oh bless you.. hopefully you will be back to feeling better asap!! Hopefully they will be on their best behaviour for you!

@Hjudge56 yeah good idea to track, that's what I did to find I ovulated about 4 days later than I thought 🫣 not helpful for TTC haha.
Haha best behaviour?! Just very loud and they bicker like siblings haha 😂 was nice though. Thank you, I'm feeling a lot better than I was but still not fully back to normal. Will get there soon haha.
