Preparing to TTC in 2022 part 6

[WingingIt09]

Hello and welcome to thread 6! You guys are all amazing, can't believe the thread is still going! Congrats to those with BFPs and baby dust to those who are trying! Xx

Sorry @DanisEndo and @HeathenPlayingHouse, hoping you both treat yourselves to something nice this weekend!

@DanisEndo @HeathenPlayingHouse
Sorry both, hope you're ok.
AF also arrived for me yesterday. I was expecting it (had such a stressful month I didn't think it was really possible this time).

I've been away for work this week so haven't really had time to think about it until now.
We have our results appointment next week (Wednesday AM) and kind of expecting at least a couple of problems. I should really stop googling at this point as it's not helping 😕

@LucyLoopyLu Thank you lovely, sorry to hear the witch got you too.

@HeathenPlayingHouse I know, the bloody witch! Killing me as well!

Sorry AF turned up at your door 😞 @LucyLoopyLu @HeathenPlayingHouse @DanisEndo

I’m 3dpo and my temp shot up this morning so got my fingers crossed! OH has done 3 weeks in alcohol so hoping it’s made a midge difference. If not our next cycles fertile days falls just after he’s been on a boozey stag do 🤦🏼‍♀️ so basically will write off that cycle and Xmas! Fingers crossed this is our one!

no alcohol sorry!!

Hi everyone.
Hope you are all doing OK.
So today I am 10dpo and I did a test and I've got a faint line 👀 !
I don't want to get myself too excited yet, as I know anything can happen over the next few days, but it's hard not to celebrate a little bit. X

Hope everyone is okay. I should be ovulating this week, high&peak is usually around days 14-18 so I’m thinking if we DTD on 12, 14, 16, 17 that should cover us? DP is going away for work day 18 for the night but hopefully if we do those other days we should be okay?

Fingers crossed for you @ScarletDreams !

So exciting @ScarletDreams , fingers crossed it keeps getting darker! 🤞

@Welshgal85 @HeathenPlayingHouse thank you, I can't tell now whether it looks pink or not.. I'm going to go and get a frer and test with that tomorrow morning.

@ScarletDreams wow tentative congratulations! I hope it gets darker!

CD6 and my period seems to be lighter so hopefully it’s going! So Cycle #3 should be underway soon! Planning to relax and Not planning to test for ovulation this month, planning to BD every 2-3 days apart from around CD15 which is where I’m predicted to ovulate!
trying to “avoid” being heavily pregnant at my sisters wedding but still hopeful I’ll get pregnant!
@ScarletDreams congratulations! It looks pink in the picture, so happy for you, looking forward to seeing the first response tomorrow!

@ScarletDreams that's a fab line for 10dpo 🥰

@Bananatoast123 @BethSuz27 @Dreamingof3 thank you 😊 fingers crossed x

trying my best not to do anything too intense at the gym so just walked on the treadmill as read lighter exercise during tww is best. Got an upset stomach during it so now convinced myself it’ll negatively impact my chances 🤣

7/8 dpo and had a tiny bit of brown spotting when I wiped. I hope that's a good sign. No other symptoms besides tired and hungry, but that can be a sign that my period is long away.

@ScarletDreams congratulations that looks like a great strong positive 🎉

@ScarletDreams congrats! Great to see another positive on the thread

How is everyone doing?
Me and my husband are dreading our results appointment on Wednesday morning. Just waiting until then.

I'm CD5 in cycle 2, after cycle 1 was a CP :( I was worried I had some sort of infection or complication after my CP but turns out it was just your common or garden sickness bug

Still don't feel well enough to contemplate any DTD yet! But hopefully will soon. It's left me feeling way more nervous about losses though, I had pretty much plain sailing when having my first.

@LucyLoopyLu good luck I hope they’re ok! Try not dread it as you’re being proactive and hopefully they can help you get to your goal of having a baby in your arms!

I had a mini panic as I saw a tiktok of some girl talking about her amh and I thought “my number is lower than hers” and she was saying she’s low for her age and I’m older!! I then googled and turned out amh isn’t a true reflection on its own and it’s more used by IVF clinics for treatment protocol! And that sooo many factors impact it! Stupid social media scaring so many women 😠

6dpo! Bbt is still rising each day! Trying not to symptom spot but it’s so hard when you know if you’re gonna implant it’s over the next few days! I don’t want to get my hopes up!

@Bananatoast123

Yes you're right, there's no point dreading it and it's better to know than not know, even if there is a problem. I've done a lot of googling the past few days and it hasnt helped me! Interesting what you say about AMH, that's one of the things I find out tomorrow but I guess it's together with the scan will give an initial picture rather than getting hung up on that one number. And obv the sperm analysis will give us a good look at what's going on there.

Fingers crossed for you that this cycle is successful 🤞

@DearieMeWhatsUp sorry to hear about your CP, and being unwell, that doesn't sound easy. If you're on CD5 there's still time for feeling more up for DTD! Don't put too much pressure on yourself

@LucyLoopyLu apparently the amh is unreliable alone without a scan too and a full picture so it’s good you got a scan! I hadn’t as I just did some blood tests and they told me I was within range for my age so this influencer was deffo talking rubbish and scared me for no reason 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

thank you!! I deffo think I’m getting a tuggy feeling/twinges but I also don’t want to overthink it! It’s so hard not to symptom spot after like 5dpo!

@Bananatoast123 oooh tugging feelings could be a positive sign! Do you usually get that? I get all sorts of twinges between ov and AF so I just ignore them now 😂 but never really a tugging feeling.

The scan was actually quite interesting, I came out feeling quite positive, but I think that is because she checked my right ovary last and that was the one with the high follicle count (she didn't say much after that). I'm fairly confident that the womb, cervix, lining etc were all ok because she was quite chatty and positive at that point. My left ovary was smaller and she counted 10 follicles which she said was fine, the right was bigger and she counted 18 follicles which I think is pretty high. I think they might say PCOS if my AMH is also high. I also have severe acne (although that won't be on my notes).

I just really hope those swimmers are ok, that will be a weight off my mind

@LucyLoopyLu not really! I want to say it’s more twinge than tuggy, but can feel it on my left. It would just be trapped wind though so I’m mindful it’s not anything! In cycle 1 I got a proper tug that stopped me in my tracks but I got a BFN so I’m also not expecting anything! I don’t usually get any sensations this early on that I notice though… but probably is wind/gas hahah!

That all sounds super positive and remember they’re experts! They won’t find anything they won’t have seen or treated before 🙂 we are going to go in January proper and get a scan plus my Oh checked!! Unlike us they get no signs of something being wrong with the swimmers themselves!

good luck with it all!
