Oooh @UKMummy2one this sounds really promising!! Was it you who was getting the metallic taste the other day? What is the taste like now? And how many dpo are you?
Sorry, I'm sure you've written this already.. there are so many messages in this thread it's hard to keep up with them all 😅

Keeping everything crossed for you that this is it!! Xx

Ladies, I’m hoping this is good news.. since having that BFN & no symptoms really this afternoon I’ve started getting a really strange taste in my mouth (hoping it’s not covid 🫣😂 I don’t have other covid symptoms) and also lots of twinges, nothing strong but enough to notice.

Anyone had/got this too?

@GeoSmed oh wow, that’s a lot of follicles! You must of had some discomfort with that cycle?

Sounds like we’re very similar then! Only had the tracking when on the Letrozole as because I have my daughter this round is self funded. If 7.5mg doesn’t work (once we try) we will have to move on to the injections I’ve no idea what they cost either 😬

Either you've licked a battery or it's a reeeeeally good sign! What day did you test on again? Was it 10? I don't have shit, so i'm prob not best to answer 😂

It hurt when they did the scan as, as you know, it's internal, so It felt super crowded in there!

Yeah it does. I assume you don't have struggles with weight, hair or insulin then either? In fact i'm the polar opposite of someone with classic PCOS. I'm 6ft tall, a size 10/12, the fairest hair and not much of it, and a mad fast metabolism! 😂I just have the dumb ass ovaries.

Depends where you go will depend on the price, but I can only tell you what I have to use as a guide.
I'm on a relatively low ish dose, and for me for 2 weeks of injections, it's £400 for the drugs, and £750 for the monitoring each cycle. So around £1,150 ish, but it depends on the dose. It works out on average (for the drugs) £25p/day, but it could be £75 p/day if you were on a high dose like the IVF doses.

Hope that helps x

@dabs9 Nope first time I’ve mentioned it I only joined the thread yesterday 😬

I think I’m 11 DPO 🤔 CD30

@GeoSmed 🤣🤣 deffo not licked a battery. It only came on over the past hour and I can’t pinpoint the taste. I want to say metallic!

I didn’t struggle with my weight until I stopped BF and carried on eating like I was still BF 😂 I’m only 5ft4 but do get fast hair growth, didn’t have it that bad until having my daughter and ended up with random black hairs on my chin ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️ and really weird one is one appeared on my belly like below my belly button while pregnant and it’s always there still. Not sure whether that’s a combo of the hormones going crazy postnatal x

Sealover123 · 31/05/2023 18:28

I caved and took a test when I got home from work! 🙈

It was a BFN. Now I'm just gonna wait and see if AF arrives soon.

Ermmmm ... no. Basically i'm relying on the fertility clinic to do everything for me 😆I will download that though thanks and good intel - this is my new obsession now, I love to obsess over something. Last week it was supplements, and I've got about 8 to take each day now 😂

Hmmmm I reckon it depends where they are in Asda. If their in the confectionary, biscuit or ice cream aisle, abort abort abort! If they're in the herbal tea aisle, the home section or the bath lotion aisle, I reckon we're onto a winner. x

Haha get on it! I became too obsessed with BBT which is why I'm not doing it this time. It was such a good indicator of pregnancy though! Haha! What are your thoughts on Ubiquinol and how much are you taking? 🤣

Yes, that's a good shout. We want a refined kid, not one buzzing on e numbers 😉 x

Ah, we're in the BFN category together! But we're not out until we're OUT! 😔

Bubblesandtroubles · 31/05/2023 18:59

@emmatcc1 that's just rubbish 😔 give yourself some nice treats tonight/tomorrow. Then dust yourself off ready to go again. At least we've got a good little group going here for those of us who need another try next month!

I still feel exactly like I'm about to start too but nothing all day. I've got a nice bottle of red that I'll treat myself to whilst I wallow over the weekend if it's bad news.

I've convinced myself I have the metallic taste now but I think it's more in my head than anything.

I'm also absolutely shattered but that could just be life!

I've been sooo tempted to test today but have resisted. Would need to go and buy one and, like someone said up thread, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it at lunch incase I bumped into someone so that's helping me hang on til the weekend.
Xx

LeopardLover · 31/05/2023 19:03

@Bubblesandtroubles Remind me of your DPO? I really hope you've also got @UKMummy2one@UKMummy2one's metallic taste and it's a good sign for you both 💜

It was me who was too scared to buy a lunch break test. Thankfully I have a stash of cheapies to waste 🤣x

Bubblesandtroubles · 31/05/2023 19:16

@LeopardLover so, for the temping, is it about rising and falling but different temps for each individual or is there like typical levels for everyone?
Basically, is there any point in me taking my temperature or do I need my own chart to know what it means? Xx

Yes, I think so! There is a range but I found my temps were always a bit lower. An expert could probably explain it better but I found charting and the visualisation made it super easy to understand! X

GeoSmed · 31/05/2023 16:04

What did you buy for your holiday? Did you say you go in 2 weeks? Is it just you and your partner, or a group of you? xx

Clothes he bought me new shoes , 3 weeks today , yeah just the two of us 🥰🥰xxx

UKMummy2one · 31/05/2023 19:24

UKMummy2one · 31/05/2023 19:27

@Bubblesandtroubles we’re the same I didn’t do OPKs though just went off symptoms

Here she is! You keep skulking off then popping up with a random ninja comment. Exciting you’ve ovulated!! How long are your cycles did you say? 35? X

Sorry to hear it. BUT it’s late in the day wee not FMU. Maybe give it another 3 days and test first thing in the AM. X

Bubblesandtroubles · 31/05/2023 20:14

Aaargh! I want to test! Seriously tempted to drive to Boots now 😩😩 someone hide my keys!

Sealover123 · 31/05/2023 20:22

@LeopardLover we are technically still in! Lol

@UKMummy2one it's OK, my wee did look a bit diluted so my own fault not waiting until Friday morning 🙈

@GeoSmed I know, I am meant to wait until morning on Friday, I just got an impulsive rush like I had to check! I will wait till then or Saturday AM now...

@Bubblesandtroubles haha it's a struggle. Kinda feel like I wasted a test today 😔 impatience is hard to handle....

Sealover123 · 31/05/2023 20:23

@Bubblesandtroubles did you say you are around 11 DPO?

Bubblesandtroubles · 31/05/2023 20:28

@Sealover123 yes- I think so.

And I know that testing now is like the opposite of FMU but, like you, I've just got this sudden urge to do it.

Why do we like to torture ourselves?

Sealover123 · 31/05/2023 20:36

@Bubblesandtroubles I know! I used an early result test so was hoping it may have picked up a little something but was stark white.

When are you due AF?

Bubblesandtroubles · 31/05/2023 20:45

Saturday. Which feels like an aaaage away right now!!

Amy95 · 31/05/2023 21:09

GeoSmed · 31/05/2023 19:29
