apologies if some of you have had their BFP/ still waiting for it - missed people (I know there’s a few) - I took this from the June thread 💖

@ChloeN i don’t know what to tell you 😂😂😂 bodies are weird - anyways as long as you’ve been DTD you’ve not lost anything - could be worse I did it 3 times 😂😅😅😅 so don’t stress it is what it is 🤣🤞

@NSx weve done every other day this cycle so tbh I hope I’ve already ovulated🤣

@ChloeN i think you’ve got it covered girl 💖

@NSx she said out of the three tests I’ve done, I’ve ovulated once and it’s normal not to ovulate every cycle. She said she can’t do anything bar refer for tests which she has done, then after a year of trying can refer to Nhs fertility who are unlikely to do anything bar say lose weight and come back when my bmi is under 30. I think I need clomid to get the eggs popping a bit more

@Mummyme87 did u mention clomid to ur GP? 💕

Yes I mentioned it at the time, she said it was something prescribed by fertility specialists as is strict guidance around it and may need monitored with scans @NSx

Hey ladies got some crap news, Dps sperm is low in most areas low count low motility andd low quality. I feel so bad for him hes absolutely crushed. I'm so glad we did these test I just knew something wasnt right. Doesnt seem like we have much chance of conceiving naturally but were going to keep having sex...obviously 😂😂 but just chilling out with the temps and the peeing on the sticks as theres no way I can keep this up for years. Ah what is life.

@Nypie im so sorry babe 😭💖 did they say he can do anything to make it better? Like meds? Lifestyle changes ? Remember it only takes 1 sperm to be good and fertilise the egg so don’t give up girl 💖💖

@Mummyme87 i didn’t see your message - I didn’t know fertility specialists had to give it out, that’s so annoying x

@Nypie so sorry lovely, that’s absolutely shit😔 sending you and your partner lots of love xx

@ChloeN how u getting on?

Oh that’s rubbish news @Nypie I can understand that your husband is feeling really down about it

AF turned up today. CD 1 cycle 15 here we come

Aw thanks ladies 🥰🥰

@NSx it was a very basic feedback just the results and the fact that it was unlikely. Did some internet digging going to up the antioxidants and I think he'll need to have surgery for his varicose. I'm going to book us both a consultation get my scan and blood works then see what they say.

@ChloeN thanks hon, we just can't seem to catch a break!

@Mummyme87 aw bless you, cycle 15 it just is not fair.

@NSx cd17, opks are really low and all my fertile signs have gone so I’m praying I have ovulated!🤞🏻 weirdly this month seems the first since the mc that the ovulation window seems normal, I got ewcm on the usual days and didn’t get the bad cramping that I have been post mc, not sure if that’s a good or bad sign! Tbh if I hadn’t of done the opks I would of been made up thinking I ovulated on time
how about you?? How many dpo is it now? Xx

@ChloeN that might be it then, your cycle regulating itself - I remember it took about 3 cycles after my loss in may where my cycle felt like my old one. So I guess it can take a bit of time 💗
I think I’m like 4dpo or there so, FF says 5 but I didn’t get my peak until 12 noon that day so if I ovulated that day it defo wasn’t until midnight so technically I think it would have been early morning the next day probably.
@nypie Atleast u have a plan 💖💖
@Mummyme87 so sorry AF came 😭 hope ur ok

@NSx this is my third cycle since so I’m hoping it’s finally back to normal🤞🏻 I’m praying I might get the sore boob symptom back so I feel normal🤣 you don’t test early do you? Xxx

@ChloeN no not really as I hate the disappointment - but I might use a IC as I have loads of these sitting around - probably wouldn’t test til like 11dpo which isn’t until Sunday next week so she’s away really 😂 I don’t think this is my cycle , it never is 😂😅

@NSx one of these cycles will defo be yours!!🤞🏻if I don’t come on before the 24th I’ll test then because I have drs appt and don’t want to be asking for tests if I was somehow pregnant!

CD13 today, third cycle of trying, and not testing this month! I feel like I’ve been way more chilled out! Apart from the fact that I decided to smush my car into a wall on Friday 🫣 luckily all is ok and it’s gone off to be fixed today!

so far we have DTD CD10 and 12, hoping for tonight and tomorrow ish, just trying to be way more relaxed this cycle and next cycle and then start testing again in Jan! I’ve not had any ovulation pains or signs of ovulation yet, ovulated CD15 last month so we will see! Hoping to just dtd every 1-3 days to try to catch the window :)

I hope everyone else is doing ok

@Nypie sorry to hear that! But better to know the problem to then work on a solution. Sending love. Can I ask if you went private or NHS? I’m only 5 months down the line but I don’t want to wait a year to find out there was a problem all along, I’m nearly 34 and time isn’t on my side!

CD3 today in to cycle 15. I’ve been looking at different fertility clinics online which I may do in the NY. Just for testing and see what they say.

@ChloeN that makes sense - fingers crossed you don’t need your drs appt 🤞✨
i would have thought I would have had my BFP by now; but here I am cycle 5 😂😂😂 and I feel like I’m getting the cold or something 😅 5 dpo — I got a lot of discharge yesterday and today, do u get this? (Sorry if TMI)
@BethSuz27 lm going to try this approach next month, trying to cut the stress 😅😅
@Mummyme87 im going to do the same I think, 5dpo today, had a lot more CM yesterday and also today - my temp also rose a lot this morning but I may be getting the cold 😅🤯

@NSx so bloody frustrating isn’t it 😡 I seem to get ill every tww, I’m sure I read somewhere your immune system can drop around the time implantation would be each cycle? What’s the cm like?? I seem to get quite a lot of cm all cycle 🤣

@ChloeN was like lotion but not pure thick but just loads of it. Bit weird - I thought cm was supposed to disappear after ovulation? I don’t know but I think I might be coming down with something who knows ….
our bodies are weird 😅

I feel like there's always something new to Google every cycle 😂

@Nypie sorry to hear about your dh's test results. Hopefully there are some options for improving things. Is he taking any vitamins or anything at the moment? I've heard good things anecdotally about the Wellman Conception vitamins.

@Mummyme87 I think looking into some tests is worth while. Have you gone down the nhs route yet? I think they're usually pretty happy to test after a year, and after 6 months if you're over 35 (or nearly 35). After nearly 2 years of this I'm definitely trying to get as many as I can out of the nhs!

@FieldView I’ve had thyroid, prolactin, LH, FSH, progesterone bloods and scan on NHS. Had it done a few months ago as over 35. I don’t think I’m ovulating regularly at all based on progesterone and my thyroid is normal by general standards but after a google maybe a bit high for fertility?
I’m going to go back to GP in NY for LH/FSH/progesterone as had those done at work and aren’t on GP system
