Hi ladies. I have started to feel a little overwhelmed with our usual thread and we are at different stages of our journeys now. Please feel free to leave this one if you don't feel the same but I feel so invested in your journeys and don't want to miss any news. Hoping this is ok, I don't think you can do DM as a group?
Hope you are all doing well and if there's anyone I've missed from the usual bunch feel free to add 😘😘😘

@MrsCristianoX 🤣🤣🤣

mummatara · 24/10/2022 20:58

@MrsCristianoX 🤣🤣 oh my days

pangolin84 · 24/10/2022 21:03

@bunnykins123 Yes I did end up getting some from Medichecks to put my mind at ease as it’s impossible to get a GP appointment and all was normal except slightly low testosterone. Apparently doing some strength training could help increase it but that is not going to happen any time soon. My main worry was my thyroid but TSH was about 1.75 so that’s not the reason I’m tired all the time (it might have something to do with my two year old stead…).

Got my temp rise today and now fertility friend has decided I’m 3 dpo. I feel like that can’t be right as I only got my first high OPK in the evening 3 days ago and I thought it took a bit of time after the LH surge to release an egg?! 🤷‍♀️

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 21:08

@pangolin84 @mummatara absolutely cray cray😂 fml I dunno if I mentioned my Saturday drama at work some absolute nut case screaming at the pharmacy and kicking the shutters (not me 😅) anyway I reported it the owner who was absolutely sympathetic, was called into a meeting and after thinking all weekend it turns out the 'solution' to our problem is to open later. I thought only DH was irritating me. I was very wrong.

mummatara · 24/10/2022 21:14

@MrsCristianoX oh no 😳 I'm not sure that can be considered a solution 🤷🏼‍♀️ bet you're wish it was you kicking the shutters now! Honestly scares me how many nutty people are out there. And not nutty in a good way the scary nutters 😳 I was going to test on weds but I'm so tempted to do it tomorrow. Think I'll see how well my morning goes no doubt we'll be running very late and that will go out the window 😂

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 21:22

@mummatara I nearly drop kicked the man telling me. It's a bad area tbh. I had my phone with me and was waiting for a dr call for DD so I got a text jumped up and excused myself. The text was a junk text 🙈 but I calmed myself down outside the room. Then walked in and said 'great idea..il be doing no more Saturdays'

Good luck 🤞🤞 if you do test xx 😘

calimc83 · 24/10/2022 22:15

Hey 👋 still stalking you girls if that's ok?! Feel too invested to lose you all..and I can't keep up with the old thread! xx

TheBirdintheCave · 24/10/2022 22:24

Andddd my husband has Covid 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I don't have it at the moment but we are now officially a plague house 🙄

We've both avoided it since the start so my husband is really annoyed he's got it now 😂

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 22:31

@TheBirdintheCave ohh nooo 😢 first time?

@calimc83 hey lady, hope you are keeping well xx

TheBirdintheCave · 24/10/2022 22:42

@MrsCristianoX Yup! We think he caught it at work. He's already unwittingly passed it to a friend we saw on Saturday 🤦🏻‍♀️ He didn't have symptoms until this morning.

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 22:56

@TheBirdintheCave my DH has never caught it and I've had it twice🤷‍♀️ he must have a superb immune system. It's hateful hope you and your DC don't catch it 🤢 Xx

FfayeN · 25/10/2022 06:11

@MrsCristianoX I think you win the award for earliest PT ever...like 6 weeks early POAS 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Brilliant! I don't blame you for refusing the Saturdays now, so much for looking after your staff 🙄. A better solution would be to make the opening times bigger so everyone can read when you're closed!
@mummatara good luck if you decide to test this morning! How many dpo will you be?
@pangolin84 I have read you ovulate from the first rise, not necessarily the peak? But I would be sceptical of it being that quick too! I have sometimes manually changed FF.
@calimc83 hey lady, of course you're welcome here xx
@TheBirdintheCave oh no! Hopefully you can avoid it, we've al had it in my house apart from DH! Lucky sod xx

@MrsCristianoX 😂 I bet! Oh well you get your Saturdays back 🥳

@TheBirdintheCave oh no my super sympathies I've had it 3 times it sucks. Hope he feels better soon

@FfayeN not any DPO yet I'm testing back to negative after the MC. There's not that much to go was 1088 on Friday. No ovulation has happened yet but I am only 3 weeks since I started bleeding so it might happen it might not the hcg might still be a bit high to ovulate

bunnykins123 · 25/10/2022 07:56

@TheBirdintheCave oh nooo! Covid is no fun at all. Hope he gets better soon 🤞

@calimc83 yaaay! How are you doing lady?

FfayeN · 25/10/2022 08:14

@mummatara now you've said that I have realised I had totally got you confused with someone else! I'm so sorry I do remember now. Are you temping? Then you'd know for sure about ovulation, I hope it comes soon for you 🥰 xx

OP posts:
mummatara · 25/10/2022 09:48

@FfayeN 😂 that's ok lovely I know it's hard to remember everything that's happening I'm rubbish at it. Yes still temping so at least I'll know if it happens. Test was still positive this morning it would have been a bit of a stretch to be negative from Friday I think but you never know 🙊 I'll leave it until the weekend now 🤞🏼

TheBirdintheCave · 25/10/2022 09:57

@mummatara Hopefully it drops significantly for you soon. With my MMC it was still very positive one day and three days later it was totally negative. I remember being really surprised.

mummatara · 25/10/2022 10:04

@TheBirdintheCave oooh really excellent gives me a bit of hope then 🙊

Indianna2006 · 25/10/2022 10:10

@mummatara agreed mine went out quite quickly. I thought it be ages. And within 5 days it was line negative and I then ovulated the day it was almost negative and a squinter which was a bit of a suprise.

@pangolin84 I have temped for lots of months previously. I have had before where tested opk in morning. Was negative. Went for a scan. An lady confirmed is ovulated recently as was free fluid in my pelvis an all other follicles were smaller. An I thought nah think she’s got that wrong. Went home did an opk and it was full on positive. An she was right cos that was the egg I fell with DD and got a positive 11 days later. So technically my egg had popped before my opk even went positive or at very similiar time. So anything goes sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

mummatara · 25/10/2022 11:38

@Indianna2006 ah fab more good stories 💪🏼 I think the 1000 drop last week has really given me a mood boost on it all

calimc83 · 25/10/2022 13:00

@bunnykins123 @FfayeN aww thanks girls! Just plodding along...20 week scan next week! Feel like it's taken forever to come around 🙈..hope u are both ok?! X

TheBirdintheCave · 25/10/2022 15:18

Well great, not only are we all sick in this house but to cap it all off my sister in law is pregnant again. I feel stupid for being so upset as they don't have any kids and had a MMC at the same time as me but it just happens so GOD DAMN easily for them. It's not fair. I feel like everyone needs to suffer at least six months of it not working before they get pregnant. I hate that for it to work for us again I will likely have to spend thousands of pounds and all because I chose the wrong husband 😭

FfayeN · 25/10/2022 15:49

@TheBirdintheCave oh lovely, it's so hard so you're right to feel frustrated. Your SIL isn't out of the woods yet, that sounds awful but I've tried to be less jealous of others having 'easy' journies because sometimes they end too. How far along is she? Did you have the extra tests yet to see if anythin has changed since your last ones? xx

OP posts:
TheBirdintheCave · 25/10/2022 16:12

@FfayeN She's seven weeks and they've just had an early scan and things are going correctly so far.

We keep trying to book in tests/get a quote for IVF but no one will call my husband back 😂 It's so strange. I'm actually trying to give people money and no one seems to want to take it 🤷🏻‍♀️

FfayeN · 25/10/2022 16:15

@TheBirdintheCave you will get there. Not sure where you are in the country but Access Fertility is a good starter, they recommend clinics and have some good payment options. We have heard great things and had friends of ours go through Bourn Hall who offer Access too. They were really good at getting back to us. xxx
