Finally realised that our previous thread was full 🤣 I hope no one minds me starting up a new one!

Can you believe it's been almost a year since this was all started up?!

@krissy12 That does help, thank you. And you're right, I had a chemical at the start of November where I didn't catch my surge, so it's definitely possible.

BethSuz27 · 21/03/2023 10:15

7dpo today, not felt much but trying to relax about it tbh so hopefully that’s helping! Planning to wait until AF next Monday to test to help my feelings, Went to the doctors yesterday due to my partners testosterone struggles and she is sending me for blood tests and an uss as I’ve always had low folic acid even on medication and that can cause my lining to be thin, it felt so lovely not being fobbed off and she straight away said she was going to send me for tests! So that’s made me feel better but you never know this could be our cycle anyway!

@Dreamingof3 congratulations! That’s so exciting! I bet your other two will be excited!

Bananatoast123 · 23/03/2023 10:56

@Dreamingof3 congratulations !!

I’ve been MIA as usual! Hit a year of TTC now and no BFP. Started acupuncture and feeling really good about that. Went on holiday over fertile window this month so hopeful! BUT got the dreaded flu for the last 4 days (I’m 6-7dpo)! Did anyone who’s ever been pregnant ever have the flu or cold and still got a BFP?? Searching for hope 🙏🏼

BethSuz27 · 23/03/2023 11:24

Another month another BFN, I’m only 10dpo so don’t want to count myself out yet but I just hate seeing those stark white tests, I knew I shouldn’t do one this morning yet did anyway! I had some cramping yesterday so if that was implantation it wouldn’t show yet but I’m so disheartened every month :( how is everyone else doing?

Welshgal85 · 23/03/2023 11:46

Congratulations @Dreamingof3 😊

Welshgal85 · 23/03/2023 11:50

I’m feeling a bit better this week after feeling so low around Mother’s Day. Hope everyone else is okay.

DTD on day 12,15, 18 and 21 so hoping we covered the fertile window okay. Day 21 was peak. That was a week ago and AF due in a few days so will wait and see 🤞🏻

krissy12 · 23/03/2023 15:05

@Bananatoast123 I had covid the month I got my Bfp

DesertSnow · 23/03/2023 17:09

@Bananatoast123 Yep, DH and I were both pretty poorly with flu during the fertile window of my successful cycle. I figured my immune system was too distracted to kill off the sperm. Good luck!

Bananatoast123 · 23/03/2023 19:04

@krissy12 @DesertSnow this good to know thank you! I’m feeling a bit hopeless as it’s hit full vengeance around implantation time 🙈 I can’t seem to shift it and save to say I look like rudolf the red nose reindeer has got the wrong month 😂😂

Dreamingof3 · 29/03/2023 20:09

How is everyone getting on? Anyone due to test soon?

Our little Calla is 9 days old already 😭 she's fit right in to our family and is adored by her big sisters 💕

@Dreamingof3 oh my gosh 😍 just look at your beautiful little girl 🥰

Welshgal85 · 29/03/2023 20:51

Oh she’s beautiful @Dreamingof3 🥰

I’m 13 DPO and had a BFN but no AF yet so fingers crossed there may still be hope this month!

Houseelf90 · 29/03/2023 21:09

Fingers crossed for you @Welshgal85 and anyone else testing this week 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Mumof1hopingfor2nd · 30/03/2023 08:15

Awww she's adorable

tested this morning but due to late ovulation I'm only 9dpo but I swear there is a faint line so I'm trying to stay with my feel on the ground and I'll test again on a couple of days fingers so tightly crossed my cats have been acting weird around me like kneading my stomach etc and I've had a couple of times where I've felt a bit sick I fully expected my usual negative so I'm a bit meh now lOl! I've attached a photo of test but line is faint so may not be able to see x

@Mumof1hopingfor2nd theres definitely a line there!!! I would say it’s a stronger line than I had at that stage! Tentative congratulations 🎉

Dreamingof3 · 30/03/2023 09:31

@Mumof1hopingfor2nd I can definitely see something on there!

OP posts:
BethSuz27 · 30/03/2023 12:21

@Mumof1hopingfor2nd i can see it too even with mumsnet ruining the quality!

we are on cycle 8, waiting for my period to finish, I’ve started having some tests this month because of my partners potential fertility issues, I had my bloods done and I’m waiting for an appointment for my Ultrasound, I had a text from my GP that they want to discuss my blood test results which makes me think something is definitely off there. Can’t get an appointment to discuss those until 18th April so I’m quite anxious about that. 8 months of nothing is hard and I can see it lasting even longer.

It’s especially hard as my sister (who is gay so did artificial home insemination) got pregnant in their first cycle so I feel quite down about that which makes me feel selfish . I’ve just started writing in a journal because I’m hoping it helps me get my feelings out a little more, spent some time just thinking by the sea yesterday. This month I’ve also started Vitamin D3, COQ10, Omega 3 fish oil with DHA, and then I also take pregnacare.

I just want something to happen, I’m so desperate.

how is everyone else?

I see a line 🤞🏼 x

LucyLoopyLu · 30/03/2023 18:08

@Dreamingof3 aw, she's beautiful. Congrats again x

We are still on holiday, back home on Monday. I've taken the pill for one cycle so I didn't have my period which I may live to regret, hopefully won't make my cycle too wonky for long 🤞 holiday has been worth it though I think

Roll on cycle 11, April/May hopefully

Mumof1hopingfor2nd · 30/03/2023 20:11

Im on my laptop so i can tag people i cant tag when on my phone for some reason it just wont have it 😂

Thanks for the replies ladies i'm just worrying its a evap line haha! I will test again soon :)

@BethSuz27 I understand the frustration i have been trying for 18mnths and had bloods and tests etc its so hard watching everyone get their turn and wondering what about me! Be gentle with yourself i found journaling helps and just allowing myself to feel how i felt. My friend just announced her 2nd pregnancy in 2years so in the time ive been trying shes had 1 baby and is due a 2nd and i was like really!? I felt annoyed at the universe, sad and then pleased for her!

@LucyLoopyLu Im looking at taking norethisterone (if im not pregnant) for my wedding day and then hoping it doesn't mess my cycles too much its a hard balancing act though.
@Dreamingof3 I love her name and she is absolutely perfect hope your not too exhausted

HeathenPlayingHouse · 30/03/2023 21:00

@Dreamingof3 She's beautiful, congrats! 💗

@Mumof1hopingfor2nd I can definitely see a line! 🤞

Bananatoast123 · 31/03/2023 09:47

@Dreamingof3 shes utterly gorgeous 🥰 congratulations!

so I’m nervously waiting to see if AF shows today. I think I’m 14dpo 😩 my app suggested it would should yesterday. I haven’t tested as I hate seeing the stark white of a BFN! I’ve had really bad upset stomachs / diahorrea like symptoms (TMI) for the last few days. My RHR is high and has been climbing the last few days. I’m scared even writing this will jinx it 😂 12 months of TTC and this is the most nervous I’ve gotten on if AF will show!!

also TMI in the past when I’ve strained for a number 2 the day before AF I’ve always had breakthrough and it’s not happened this month!

BUT I also started acupuncture so not sure if that could’ve also played with my cycle and it’s why AF hasn’t shown yet!

Dreamingof3 · 31/03/2023 10:47

@Bananatoast123 rhr climbing was one of my first signs! Keeping everything crossed for you ❤️
