POAS girls: Fertility super slueths 🔎

[TheBirdintheCave]

A new thread for our little gang :) Tag anyone I managed to forget!

@MrsJGrealish @happinessandrainbows @calimc83 @pangolin84 @theblueflowers @bringmearainbow @monsteramunch @bunnykins123 @curliegirlie @LuckyMoonstone @Indianna2006 @FfoxRedN

@FfoxRedN could it be hormones? I find hormones do really funny things for me and the downstairs region especially when pregnant! It's not as puffy now but bright red. I'm hoping it'll be a bit better tomorrow as I don't really want to have to hunt down some eye drops!! I should have worn sunglasses.... how are you feeling overall? How many weeks are you now?

@TheBirdintheCave I can see a line..good luck testing tomorrow 🤞❤️

@bunnykins123 what is there a shortage of?

@MrsJGrealish conjunctivitis eye drops apparently? Got a stash you want to send my way?! 🙃 My eye is looking very sorry for itself 😂

@bunnykins123 eh no. I have at least 20 of those in my fridge. There's a shortage of generic but optrex do a branded one. Maybe it's different in England 🤷‍♀️

@bunnykins123 haha I would to but it needs a cold line transfer 😘

@MrsJGrealish are they over the counter? Good to know - I may go back and demand something in that case!

Why is it so hard to leave you girls 😢 the chloramphenicol eye ointment should do the job too 😊

@bunnykins123 absolutely yes. Can buy otc for anyone over the age of 2.

The more I look at it the more I'm convinced it's definitely an evap. Why do we do this to ourselves? I could have waited and drawn the suspense out til Friday or Saturday 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

@bunnykins123 it's probably a combination. The antiobiotics said it's highly likely they'll cause it, coupled with the hormones I didn't stand a chance!!
I'm literally 4+1 but because I ovulated early I've known for a week 🙄. I feel fine though other than chronic vag itching 🤣🤣.

@MrsJGrealish you don't have to leave us lovely, we all want you to stay 🥰

@TheBirdintheCave I think if you test with FMU in the morning you'll be able to tell, that's only 12 hours away 🤞🏼 xx

@FfoxRedN LOL at the “apart from chronic vag itching” less than ideal lol.
The whole counting from your period is a stupid procress Altho the midwives will use it. Your scan you would likely move ahead. I’d count 2 weeks from your ovulation date and put yourself as 4 weeks there.
I knew 100% when I ovulated. And I still moved 4 days ahead from that as well lol..

@TheBirdintheCave I can see something if really look. But it does look grey to me with no sign of pink. So on that I’d say it’s evap. As I’d had plenty that looked like that an I was never pregnant.
Doesnt mean it won’t turn into something though. But those grey very pale lines are a fucker. I actually don’t rate frers at all anymore. Some tests seem to give you a grey evap and then a second test in same pee would be stark blank.

@TheBirdintheCave meh that posted too early. Deff perhaps wait until Friday morning and try again. Like others said will deff be clearer.

@MrsJGrealish 🥰 you don’t have to leave us if you don’t want

@Indianna2006 it is certainly less than ideal! If I go from ovulation I'd be 4+3 adding on two weeks for LMP date so a couple of days extra. xx

@Indianna2006 it's hard..I won't lie. Though I really want to see your rainbow babies 🥰 DH wants to keep going. Not sure how much more I can take 🖤 sorry hun bit of a mess today

@FfoxRedN I’d deff say 4+3 then ☺️ who doesn’t love shaving a few days off. And deff more accurate to count from ovulation then period anyway.

@MrsJGrealish totally understandable hun. Nice to have a supportive DH. 🥰🥰 if you decide to keep going maybe see if GP or even privately can help with perhaps helping it to stick etc. think you mentioned perhaps you aren’t allowed progesterone? But sure they can check other things.
As you seem to fall quite easily don’t you but it’s getting it to hang on in there 😞😞

@MrsJGrealish I agree with what others have said, you definitely have reason to get some medical assistance after all you’ve been through. But you shouldn’t put yourself through anything you don’t want to. Does DH wanting to carry on trying make you feel differently about it?

@LuckyMoonstone it does a bit. I was the one talking him round months ago. I know I can't do this without help now so I've been looking into private care today. Like the stroke was nearly 20 years ago? I had a copper coil fitted after DD so didn't rely on hormonal contraceptives but I'm pretty sure someone somewhere can help with the implantation process. I do worry that I'll be judged 'you have 3 DC be happy with that'..🙈 and I can understand that.

Ugh sorry for the rant. I'll cheer myself up by scrolling the conception page later 🤣 ❤️ Xx

@TheBirdintheCave ohhh something is definitely catching my eye there..fwiw I've never had a sniff of an indent before..either totally negative or positive but never tested at 10DPO. Eek 😬, everything crossed for you xx @MrsJGrealish how u doing lovely? X

@calimc83 I'm ok..did you pick a name yet for gorgeous baby girl?? I'm sure it'll be as fab as she is 💗

Gonna take a wee break from mumsnet for a couple of days til I sort my head out ❤️

@MrsJGrealish sending lots of love your way ❤️

Same from me too 🥰. I hope they can offer you something to sort the issue out, as it's the same each time 🤞🏼. xx

@MrsJGrealish you know where we are if you need anything ❤️

Lots of love to @MrsJGrealish and I hope your daughter gets well soon.

@TheBirdintheCave hmmmm, undecided about that test. Hopefully you'll get more clarity in the next few days xxx

@MrsJGrealish no one would judge you at all. You want a 4th DC that’s entirely your choice 🙂 have a nice break away and hopefully provides some clarity

@MrsJGrealish We'll miss you but I hope you have some much needed R&R away from MN :) xx

Got the same crappy line this morning so it's definitely an indent. I'll just wait for AF to arrive on Sunday now then one more cycle until IVF 😬
