I feel as though I’m doing the bloody hokey jokey the amount I’ve been in and out of this forum over the years 😅😂

Hello!
Ive a long old story but I won’t bore you with it unless you’re interested… I’m 31 TTC our first, and currently 9dpo with a chemical way back in November. I’m just looking for some company and hopefully some positive vibes between the group so someone… anyone gets their BFP! Hopefully me too of course 🤞
We all need a little bit of positivity so let’s do this together ✨

@Daniki that sounds really good and probably will destress you quite a bit . What is your age may I ask ? I am 28-29 day cycle consistently normally ovulate cd11-cd12 but this month was cd14 . Everywhere I read about my age when TTC is so depressing xx

Daniki · 27/10/2023 14:50

@Tottenhaminmyblood I'm 35 at the end of November 🙈 my AMH results came back as good so that's something. My age really getting to me! Your cycle same as mine! I used to ovulate round day 11 changed after miscarriage to day 16 but this cycle I ovulated day 13! It's all so confusing 😂 xx

Yolo23 · 27/10/2023 15:29

Hi ladies! @Daniki its so hard to say because every pregnancy and test is different from what I’ve read! And I’ve read a lot 😂😂😂 haven’t we all 👀

I had a chemical BFP on 11 dpo in November but some people don’t get BFP until after AF due so hold out and see 🥰

@Tottenhaminmyblood you have all basis’ covered by the looks at that Flo calendar.. my gosh, you and OH must be shattered 😂😅 we’ve been crap this month and only DTD like 3 times - no where around expected ovulation although I don’t think I did ovulate anyway or maybe I was early.. anyway who knows! I’m super chill right now, I just want AF to arrive so I can have my 2-4 blood test and start again next month.

@Daniki im going to use the same approach as you with DTD every other after AF and seeing what happens! I know we need to do it more but mr brain isn’t quite lining up atm. All these bloody pregnancy announcements and babies everywhere is just driving me into a mood 😂😂 bad mood = don’t want to DTD so it isn’t ideal. I’m positive for next month though.

@Yolo23 yea I think it's a good approach, try and relax a bit more! Iv reflexology booked as well so hopefully it all helps! Chemicals are awful too aren't they, you finally get a bit of excitement and it's just taken away like that 😫

To a positive November cycle! 🙌

Tottenhaminmyblood · 28/10/2023 19:35

Hope you’re both ok @Daniki &@Yolo23 i had work this morning very full on and I’ve got home this evening with all brown stains in my knickers . Sorry I know TMI but I’m so confused ? How u both feeling ? Xx

Daniki · 28/10/2023 22:35

@Tottenhaminmyblood could be spotting form implantation? Would you ever get it normally before your period? I'm a bit down in the dumps now, i know I'm not pregnant and just wish AF would hurry up so I can get start the higher dose letrozole and see how next month goes x

Tottenhaminmyblood · 29/10/2023 10:28

@Daniki no I never usually do but it’s strange . I don’t feel anything at all so think I am out . I am so sorry when is AF due ? Hopefully you getting a higher dose will do the trick ! Im so down today also sending you a hug xx

Daniki · 29/10/2023 10:59

@Tottenhaminmyblood hopefully it's all a good sign, I never had any symptoms with my pregnancies so wouldn't be worrying about that! Due to start tomorrow, iv a bit of spotting this morn so it's all on track! 😝 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 30/10/2023 08:20

@Daniki has Af made an appearance ? I am def going to get Af on Saturday I’ve been so emotional this morning and raging with anger x

Daniki · 30/10/2023 08:36

@Tottenhaminmyblood I was very emotional before I found out I was pregnant, and during my first pregnancy I couldn't watch this show that used to be on every Sunday reminiscing about everything that happened in a particular year, without bawling my eyes out 😂 my husband banned me from watching it! It hasn't appeared yet today but I did have some red spotting last night, while I was expecting it this morn it will prob come later. Didn't bother testing as I know I'm out! Have the usual cramps aswell and my patience is very thin, which is a sure sign 😂 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 30/10/2023 10:47

@Daniki bless you can you watch that show now ok ? Hopefully Af will turn up as quick as possible for you today . I have no tolerance and feel like I could go on a rampage . And wish the bloating I’ve had since af last month would go xx

Daniki · 30/10/2023 11:31

@Tottenhaminmyblood I hate that rage feeling! I took my last test and it was negative 😂 still hasn't shown but I'm crampy so any minute now 😅 ha yes can watch it now no bother 😂 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 30/10/2023 11:38

@Daniki what tests do you use ? I’m sorry it’s not your month . When are you starting the increased dose ? I want to test but no there’s no point , I will just be wasting money . I feel like screaming at everyone it’s got a lot worse this rage as I’m getting older xx

Daniki · 30/10/2023 11:51

@Tottenhaminmyblood what day dpo are you at now? Did you get your test results back yet or is that tomorrow? I use the one step ones, but they've changed the design of them and I don't like them anymore! I like the boots earlys but no point getting any now! I start the increased dose on day 2 of AF, another reason I'm like hurry up so I can start! Xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 30/10/2023 14:22

@Daniki i haven’t had any results back yet and have been hoping I would hear today . Usually I ovulate cd11-12 but my Clearblue opk didn’t have a static smiley face until cd14 which is strange so I believe I’m either 9-10 dpo . Thinking I might buy a cheap test on way home from work just to torture myself a little bit . Are you keeping busy ? Xx

Yolo23 · 30/10/2023 18:13

@Daniki @Tottenhaminmyblood hello! Sorry been a bit quiet on here enjoying our weekend and prepping the house for viewings as it’s up for sale - we don’t do things by halves 😂
This means 2024 will see…
Our wedding
House move (hopefully)
IVF

I hope you’re both keeping ok - I read about your spotting @Tottenhaminmyblood hows it looking now? I normally spot before AF but I had bleeding during sex on the weekend and it seems to have continued without spotting or my normal endometriosis pains (but this could come later) so we will see!

@Daniki I relate!! I’ve been so moody lately but I think that’s a mix of wanting the month to end and AF to arrive so we can just crack on with a fresh cycle. I’m an Aries so patience is not my best attribute 😂 I feel in the circumstances of TTC I’m doing well but until AF is in full flow, I won’t be happy. I need to do day 2-4 bloods this month so hopefully it’s really clear and I become heavy fast….

Hope you’re feeling a bit better. Any more signs of AF yet? We may be cycle buddies soon 🙃 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 30/10/2023 18:39

@Yolo23 welcome back !

how exciting putting the house up for sale , are you staying close by ? We did our move in June and finally got the house I wanted in the most tiny village . Mortgage rates had just changed so was just so stressful . Are you wanting the move ?

I think I may have just had spotting in my cycle . I’m trying not to think about it being implantation as I just don’t want to feel so down if AF comes . What are they doing bloods day 2-4 for ? My partner is an Aries 😂😂😂 xx

Daniki · 31/10/2023 09:06

So AF came yesterday evening! Was kept distracted all day anyway as my son was literally so hyper the whole day 😅 Jesus I was glad come bed time 😂 let myself be down all day yesterday but fine today and ready for a new cycle! Start the higher dose of tablets tomorrow! And my bday is the end of the month so hopefully i get my positive for that 😂🙌

@Yolo23 you've a busy year coming up, take it all in your stride!

Tottenhaminmyblood · 31/10/2023 09:52

@Daniki thats good you can focus now on getting that extra dose . I did an early sign test this morning with my second wee and got a negative so I’m out . Just waiting on blood results now . Hope your ok xx

Daniki · 31/10/2023 10:17

@Tottenhaminmyblood let us know your results when ya get them! Hopefully you're not out 🙏 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 31/10/2023 16:25

@Daniki nothing today so hoping tomorrow now ! Xx

Daniki · 31/10/2023 21:45

@Tottenhaminmyblood how annoying when you've already been waiting a few days! 🙈 xx

Yolo23 · 31/10/2023 23:31

@Tottenhaminmyblood it is! We’re planning on staying really close by but the house we put an offer on just got swept away by a cash buyer 😅 The joys of the housing market! We still need to sell ours anyway but fingers crossed it won’t take too long. I can’t cope with the constant cleaning and planning arrangements with our dog for viewings 😂

Apparantly day 2-4 bloods is to measure your AMH levels (ovarian reserve. I’ve had quite some spotting but I need full flow to begin before I get them done. It does make the whole 2-4 timeframe very confusing so I hope it’s obvious ASAP!!

Hope your bloods come back soon for you. Any sign of AF? Or are you holding out hoping xx

OP posts:
Yolo23 · 31/10/2023 23:33

@Daniki Ooo exciting - any birthday plans!? 🥳

Yep a busy, busy time indeed but it does help for distractions hey 😊😅

I’m day 2 of spotting so keeping an eye out for full flow ready for bloods and then it’ll be another cycle - we will likely exp ovulation at the same time this month (there or there abouts) xx

Daniki · 01/11/2023 07:13

@Yolo23 yea great for distractions which will surely help! It's truly a sellers market atm, if anything like Ireland! Hope it starts soon for you, it's like our bodies know we're waiting and likes to mess us around! Iv always had a heavy period but yesterday was absolutely horrendous, used a full pack of pads and half a pack of tampons, was considering wearing my sons nappy to bed 😂😂 started my letrozole today so ready for period to end so we can start trying 😂
