TTC December

[AussieMum888]

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd create a new thread as the TTC Oct and Nov we're so helpful to me :) There were so many BFPs in the Nov group so statistics doing their thing there will be lots of BFPS in this Dec thread too which is super exciting.

Im currently on CD3 of my 5th cycle TTC #2.

OK, thank you very much @Jennifer89 xxx

@Floralsandsmiles you're welcome 😊x

@Floralsandsmiles that doesn’t sound extreme at all and I feel the same.
I have had my blood test and scan so far and all looked normal. Of course this was good news, but at the same time I feel like if they had found something then at least I’d know why I haven’t been able to have a baby, after 2 years of trying xx

Some late night googling and panicking has led me to a Ferti Lily purchase at 12:45am….

anyone got any experience? I found some old threads and they looked 50/50 but some really good reviews online

@lottieb92 no experience but I have spoken to quite a few ladies who love it and the general feedback is practice practice practice and it needs to go up a lot more than you imagine

@bringmearainbow oh the glamour of TTC

challenge accepted 🤭 we have set ourselves a time frame for IVF phone call now… so I just thought “what else can I possibly add to the mix”… that came up so it’s on its way to me for this cycle 🤣

I feel you @AlleycatMarie! I'm.now thinking if they find there is no problem, next step will be IVF 😔 xxx

Hi all, hopping over from the Nov thread after trying not to think about all this since my last AF started…

TTC cycle 5, cd13. First day of CBAD flashing smiley and DDT today. Had 5 days of empty circle which is weird for me. I seem to ovulate any day between 13 and 17, and this month is looking to be a late one, so keeping an eye on my tests and symptoms.

If this month isn’t successful I’m going to suggest DH goes for a test. I had a private scan and all the tests last month to investigate my pre-AF spotting and they said all was fine (high prolactin but they weren’t worried…).

may the statistics be in our favour!

@Sierra26 all my tests and scans so far have been fine, so I’m thinking getting dh tested is the next step for us!!
@Floralsandsmiles I think ivf will be the route we have to go down now. I’m 40, so not entitled to nhs in my area. And the success rate at 40 is so low, that I don’t know how we are going to go about paying for something that is unlikely to even work 😞 xx

Aww I'm sorry to hear this @AlleycatMarie !

Well I came across this that I'm seriously considering!

@Floralsandsmiles thank you so much for sharing that, I didn’t know anything like this existed, but it looks really interesting, kind of like a ‘no win, no fee’?!

Let me know how it goes. Considering purchasing it if this month doesn't do the trick..

@Jennifer89 @lottieb92 also considering buying one! I’m a bit nervous about it though… !

@Sierra26 i think I’m laughing to mask my worry lol… but happy to be the trail guinea pig and report back to Everyone interested.

I did some more research some women just use a menstrual cup which is much easier in and out! And much cheaper, but too late mine has arrived! Might be less daunting to pull out 🥲

after so many months. I know it might not be the fix I’m after - but it’s more so that I can rule out having tried everything on the market 🤭

@lottieb92 have you tried Omega 3 supplements/Coq10? Heard these are good for improving egg quality..

@lottieb92 ive never used a menstrual cup… they scare me too!!

im already laughing at how unsexy the logistics just be after Dtd 😂

@lottieb92 deffo report back if you don't mind. I had never heard of them before Mumsnet.

So I had a ridiculously vivd dream last night. 1 hour after getting up I still have full recall of it and literally thought it had happened when I woke up. I'm hoping this is a good sign x

Hi @AlleycatMarie , no problem at all! That's what I thought to! I also thought they would be more determined to ensure it works within the 6 cycles, because you pay nothing back if it hasn't worked? Xxx

Vivid dreams are my first symptom. Had them both with my daughter and my miscarriage last month. Fingers crossed it's a good sign for you.

I'm 4dpo. DTD the day before and after ovulation. Feeling a bit meh about it all after my early miscarriage last month. I can see myself being a big ball of anxiety the entire pregnancy if/when I do fall pregnant.

@buckingmad sorry to hear your feeling like that. I can only imagine it would make you more anxious.

Thank you for letting me know it was a good sign for you. Will see what happens tonight x

@Jennifer89 i have, so I’ve just purchased the strongest of each haha and added to my pill taking routine!
I think I only managed to find 100mg of CoQ10 in boots which isn’t great but I’ll finish the bottle. I also have Omega 3 1500mg :)
Hoping this will get me a nice shiny egg .

Hi @lottieb92 I have these ones for COQ10

Ubiquinone Coenzyme Q10 300mg Softgel Capsules, 120 Super Strength Vegan Friendly Naturally Fermented High Absorption CoQ10 Capsules Made in The UK to GMP Standards – by The Intelligent Health amzn.eu/d/iIU95YM

Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles these look great… thanks so much. 🤍
Im assuming it would be safe for me to double up my 100mg for now if they sell 300mg strength?

Yep I'd say so 😊 these are the ones luisa zuissman said she used I think as they had the highest strength xxx

perfect, that blog must have helped so many so hope it helps up! 🙂🤞🏻
