Ok so, clinic said I can still have my bloods appointment and the online consent appointment. They said if I didn't get my period by the consent appointment (31st) then I could have a scan to see what's going on and they'll decide what to do based on that.

Glad they're not fobbing me off anyway. At least I can still have most of my appointments.

Consultant said she was confident I'd have had my period by the 31st anyway 😂 Unlikely given that it's the 13th already and I don't think I'll be ovulating any time soon.

@TheBirdintheCave that's really positive news, at least you have a plan moving forward!

DH is getting on my last nerve today, so here's hoping these hormones have a purpose!!! xx

TheBirdintheCave · 13/03/2023 18:39

@FfoxRedN I'm pretty confident about your chances :D

bringmearainbow · 13/03/2023 21:45

@MrsJGrealish how you getting on? Still no AF?

@FfoxRedN lol I hope those hormones have a purpose too 🤞🏼 I usually get the raging hump a few days before AF but weirdly I didn't this cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️ are you testing tomorrow?

@TheBirdintheCave ah I'm so pleased you can still have your tests that's good news!

TheBirdintheCave · 13/03/2023 22:08

Augh. All the EWCM is gone and I decided not to bother dtd last night 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I'll be so cross if today is O day and I missed the perfect opportunity because I couldn't be bothered.

MrsJGrealish · 13/03/2023 22:12

@bringmearainbow no AF negative IC ffs. I have actually given up 😭🙄 someone pass me the tequila

TheBirdintheCave · 13/03/2023 23:34

@MrsJGrealish Oh no :( Do you have any more of the Clear Blue's?

MrsJGrealish · 14/03/2023 01:07

@TheBirdintheCave I've got digitals which I may burn in disgust tomorrow. 🔥 🔥🔥🔥 Xx

MrsJGrealish · 14/03/2023 01:24

@TheBirdintheCave though in all seriousness I think it's a progesterone/dud egg issue and I can't not test early and the heartache that follows is too hard, so I might have to say goodbye ☹️ (once AF arrives but I l finally let DH near me tonight so it won't be long) might do the FRER tomorrow just because nothings really over til you get a negative one of those.

Night ladies 😘❤️

FfoxRedN · 14/03/2023 05:28

@MrsJGrealish argh I'm so sorry it's never clear cut, the tests are the work of the bloomin' devil! Let us know how you get on, when is AF due?

@bringmearainbow I was going to test this morning, but I had a temp dip (albeit I think that's because I'm up so early) and DH was in the bathroom too so waiting until tomorrow. I don't feel anything though and normally my symptoms are quite noticeable.

@TheBirdintheCave you can't beat yourself up, I guess the only way to manage it when you don't know is to DTD every couple of days? It would be hard to cover every day with the cycle you're having. 😘 xxx

TheBirdintheCave · 14/03/2023 06:56

36.86!!!

I think my dip was Sunday though it doesn't look like much as I had a drink on Saturday night. I so hope it was then and not yesterday as I will have missed it if so 🤦🏻‍♀️

If that's right we dtd O-2 and O-4 so highly unlikely that it will happen this cycle.

@FfoxRedN We were doing every other day but I just couldn't bring myself to do Sunday night and now I've most likely ruined my chances 🙄 I'm such an idiot 😭

@MrsJGrealish ahhh nightmare though might be too early for ic? I'm keeping everything crossed that todays test is a good one for you ❤️

@FfoxRedN ahhh well testing just not meant to be today you're still early so one more day although is torture will be ok xxx

@TheBirdintheCave yaaaayyyy finally. You still have a chance with those goes at least you carried on trying and at least you know where you are now instead of ovulation limbo 🙈

TheBirdintheCave · 14/03/2023 08:35

@bringmearainbow Yes thank god. One or two more days and I should get cross hairs 🙏Then I can give King's my new expected AF date which I think is my niece's birthday March 26th.

FfoxRedN · 14/03/2023 09:40

@TheBirdintheCave you have covered plenty to catch!! Don't be hard on yourself, still very good chances! Xx

TheBirdintheCave · 14/03/2023 09:50

@FfoxRedN I just don't think it was enough especially as we don't get pregnant easily. I would have wanted to have got at least O-1 and O as well 😫 Now I feel like I'm just relying on old sperm that likely will have died off by now.

Omg sorry girls! I'll post pictures today..totally forgot how newborns really do take over your life ( and MN habit). Will have a good catch up of the thread today as I bet I've missed loads @Indianna2006 feeling a million times better after c sec. Hope I haven't put u off too much xx

TheBirdintheCave · 14/03/2023 10:27

@calimc83 No worries :) Glad you're feeling better! Does she have a name yet?

OP posts:
calimc83 · 14/03/2023 12:17

@TheBirdintheCave still no name! 😭 right I've updated Facebook finally 😆🙈 xx

TheBirdintheCave · 14/03/2023 13:03

@calimc83 Do you have a short list? We could help hash out other names you might like based on that :)

OP posts:
LuckyMoonstone · 14/03/2023 13:13

@calimc83 thank you for sharing pics with us ❤️ beautiful

Indianna2006 · 14/03/2023 14:30

@calimc83 🙈🙈 haha no. She’s got to come out one way or the other. But I deffo did hear first 3 or so days worst. Then you feel much better and can poodle about. So glad you’re feeling better. I’ll just brace myself for an initial few days of shock. I bet it’s the first time standing up too 😳😳

omg still no name 🙈 yes give us a short list. Let’s take a vote haha xx

Indianna2006 · 14/03/2023 14:31

@TheBirdintheCave yay!! Finger crossed for cross hairs in a few days time. She was taking her sweet old time wasnt she. And you still covered bases so don’t fret too much xx

TheBirdintheCave · 14/03/2023 14:36

@Indianna2006 Yup, waiting for the day I messaged the clinic clearly 🙄 Silly body.

I'm worried about monstera, she's not been here for a very long time and it's not possible to tag her. Hope she's okay!
