TTC Sept 2023

[MrsNT]

Lets jump on this bus
Xx

@BuzzieBo I felt the same way yesterday when I realised AF was on the way. It’s so disheartening as there’s little we can do until we can try again. I’m trying to see the positive of my 25 day cycle meaning I can go again soon. I’m trying to keep preoccupied with things I like and taking the best care of myself with food and exercise too. No huge advice as it’s hugely disappointing but solidarity as I’m there with you! I think most of us thought at some point it would be easy and we would just get pregnant!

Hello! I’m back after another let down this month. Anyways I had my GP visit and she sent my referrral for investigations. I also had my CD 5 bloods and I’ll be back in again on CD25 for my repeat! Fingers crossed I’m pregnant in the mean time

@GHJ get the doctor to check for Pcos I’ve always had symptoms and long cycles and just changed doctors and they have confirmed it finally

Hi All,

1 year in to TTC baby number 3. The only difference this time is I have remarried. We are both in the fortunate position we have children but we’d really love to have one together.
Have miscarried twice in the last year. Had a private scan whereby the sonographer said I was “mildly polycystic” but she was quite confident that my “text book uterus” would give us the result we long for before too long. We are still waiting. .

I’ve got a docs appointment for the first time on Monday but not anticipating much from it..

Have been ovulation testing most months (however much I tell myself I won’t buy more tests, I do!) The months I have conceived I had high fertility days in the build up to peak. Every other month, I’ve gone from low to peak and then the negative pregnancy test to follow.

has anybody else experienced this or any ideas what could be going on?

I feel so selfish in that I know many would be grateful to have a child but equally it is all consuming TTC and you struggle to not obsess over it a bit!!

Previous pregnancies straight forward, one missed miscarriage before the first but my DD’s both conceived on first cycle trying (granted I was late 20’s not mid 30s, 6 and 3.5 years ago!)

@Tigger1116 Can anything be done if PCOS is confirmed to aid TTC?

@peonym 2DPO for me and I agree with you 😂 I've never known the days to go so slowly!

So sorry to everyone who has had AF arrive, I know how upsetting it can be ❤️

gp can prescribe medication to help ovulate and to regulate periods , have you tried myo inositol

@glb1989 they will do blood tests and a scan to confirm if it is I’ve go af now so not this month so I’m going to a drs appointment next week to find out what I can take to help I think I see people mention Clomide or other medication so I’m going to see what they say other than that it’s lose weight exercise the usual things

@Tigger1116 It’s so stressful isn’t it? Fingers crossed there is something they can do to help you 🤞🏻getting hold of a doctor here is some sort of miracle so getting them to do something would be even more of a big deal!

@glb1989 yes I really hope so too and I hope you get something sorted

@DanisEndo Fingers crossed for you!

Sorry to all the ladies who have AF show up. I had some spotting in the afternoon 12DPO really bad back aches. I spotting was only on my pamts not when I wiped.
BFN on 2 tests today so feeling really rubbish. 1st Month doing SMEP and only started Ubiquinol mid August. So I need to lower my expectations.

We were DTD since Feb not not consistent not sure if I should wait 2 more months before seeing the Gp? Technically we started FEB but not properly as in every 2/3 days. We only started SMEP Aug so maybe give it 2 more months hhhhmmmm.

Just want my period to start and wiah these 2 months away 😂
Even Potty training my 22month old is not helping keep my mind off of things.

Hello,

i’m very new here & looking for advice! i am just wondering if anyone has sadly had a miscarriage in the last, if you did how long did you leave it before TTC?

Thanks!
Best of Luck Everyone x

@Deeyax have you tried testing with morning pee? I peed in a cup and used that so I could easily control the test, so maybe try that too if you peed on the stick.

I've had a positive and I have a weird metallic taste in my mouth that I just can't shift. You're not out until AF arrives so fingers crossed for you!

@Stardust89 yes i have like you said it’s easier to test that way & i am just going to wait a few more days, period is due on Thursday so fingers crossed it doesn’t arrive and my hcg levels show up 😩😩

@LNF115 iv had 2 miscarriages and both time i waited for my next period just so I could calculate dates easier. Took about 3 cycles each time to fall pregnant after the MC ❤️

totally up to you whenever you feel ready though! I spent a lot of time googling this and loads of sites say 3 months so your womb lining has time to get back to normal but I think you’re grand whenever you feel ready tbh ❤️ baby dust to you xxx

@LNF115 we tried as soon as the tests were negative. I didn't ovulate before my period came back though, and I've just had my first full cycle and didn't get lucky. Now CD4 of my second cycle trying again x

Morning ladies I am out. Spotting again AF showed I guess. First ever chemical. Wish I hadn't tested early.

Hey so i am 1 day late on period and tests say negative but haven’t been feeling myself since last week when i was spotting, going to presume that was implantation bleeding, have been feeling dizzy, loss of appetite and have had a metallic like taste in my mouth, should i wait another week to re test or take it as a negative this cycle

@MixedCouple spotting can be normal in early pregnancy. fingers crossed for you.

@Deeyax I have a metallic taste & dry mouth, nauseous and not eating as much, so very similar to you. And my lines are still faint. Can you try get hold of some First Response Early Response tests, they're supposed to be really sensitive to HCG. If not I'd try test every other day until AF arrives as HCG doubles within that time. Fingers crossed for you

@Stardust89 its crazy isn’t it, I haven’t had a faint line on any other test so don’t know if i need to wait a bit longer till AF is late by 4/5 days, also took a CB and that kind of looks like it has a faint line but the more i look at it the more it looks like a indent 😂 the feeling of unknowing is making me feel even more worse than I currently am

@Deeyax I think I can see a line but cleaeblue are known for evap lines. Maybe try get a pink dye one. I think boots own brand is pink?

Hey

so after my last post, it’s been 3 weeks since my implant removal and I’m 2 days late. I have decided to do a text today.
I am sure this is negative but slightly thrown as there is a fault half line which looks a bit positive? What do you think? Could be my eyesight!

Yeah exactly its not reliable , yeah ive done like the strip tests and that was a negative so kind of feel like i am not pregnant, but these symptoms are so strong! Never had anything like this ever

I don’t want to get your hopes up if it is af but when I was pregnant with my first I had about a week of brown spotting in early pregnancy
