Hi ladies, just thought I'd create a new thread for anybody that wants to continue.

@Westy22
@Freddie15VES
@fleur89
@Strawb28
@DmcinT
@HopeAndStrength
@xxcxdonxx
And @SnookyPook for if/when you feel like you might want to come back xx

Sorry if I've forgotten anybody, I realise most of you guys have had your BFPs and there's only a few off us left waiting, but at least you know the thread is here so come back and keep us updated with all your lovely pregnancy stories 😊 For those of us still here, hopefully it won't be too much longer 🙏💖 xx

Oh no @Jadeypie that's so annoying!! 🥴 Are you sure you're 5dpo? Did you keep doing opks?

@sex no gave you couldn't be bothered anymore possibly could be ovulation bleeding but why would that all of a sudden happen I've had a few cramps on and off today and last night aswell. Either way I've missed it xoz I don't really fancy dtd if I'm spotting like this xx

@Jadeypie oh I don't blame you. It's so shit that you're going through that again 😕 Are you going to be waiting long to see that specialist? Hopefully they get to the bottom of it soon. In the meantime don't give up hope, you never know it might be some weird positive thing that's happening 🤷‍♀️xx

Also @Jadeypie pmsl on the typo with my user name 🤣 Freudian slip? 😂

@Sez281 omgggg hahaha I didn't even noticed that hahah tickled me that. Not sure got to wait for the referral xx

Oohh there's nothing worse @Jadeypie are you taking any new supplements that could be triggering it? X

I've had clear slippery cm today 🤔 this cycle seems to have a bit more happening hormone wise but I'm not getting my hopes up. I've started taking coq10 properly so wondering if that's having an impact some how as I've read it can improve that.

@Westy22 that could be a promising sign 🤞I've started taking it separately to my other vitamins too but haven't noticed any changes. Will you test this weekend or wait to see if AF comes first? X

@Westy22 nope I only take vit c and folic acid, I dont take others incase they mess my already messed up cycles. My cervix is high and soft so it's not af pending yet. Sounds promising for you tho I can't wait till u test haha xx

Erm I'm trying to be good and wait this one out a bit 🤣🤣 @Sez281 @Jadeypie flo has me due AF on Monday but premom says Thursday (these two don't work together 🤣) I am getting my hopes up but I feel like I'm going to be dissapointed tbh...ive been reading into a few little things tho like the fact my bowel movements are no longer a daily occurance and seem to have slowed down the last few days this happened last time I was pregnant because I remember I stopped taking certain 'good bacteria' tummy supplements thinking they'd made me constipated 🤣 (I have coeliac and a very active bowel so I notice when I don't go lol). But could all be down to work stress and crappy diet and I'm just clutching at straws lol xx

How's everyone doing? My spotting has turned to a light period so I've marked it down as af looks like my body wanted a early cycle crnt keep up ha xx

Sorry to hear that @Jadeypie 😕 It's like our bodies are sticking both fingers up to us sometimes 🙄 Hopefully you get specialist appointment soon 🤞xx

@Westy22 that non-movement thing does sound like a positive sign. Especially if you had it last time. Have you tested yet?

I'm 6dpo (I think 🙄) so kind of in no man's land at the moment

@Sez281 I'm alright with it tbh obviously my body's just not ready to house another baby just yet my time will come. In the mean time I'll just make sure I get to my best.

6 dpo is really no man's land isn't it that's when yeh always start symptom spotting aswell haha x

@Jadeypie that's definitely the right attitude, all we can do is our best and you still have time on your side xx

I think I'll actually be ok if AF arrives this week too. I have my appointment with fertility consultant in 2 weeks so at least I know that the wheels are going to start getting in motion and feeling really positive that things will happen over the next few months 🌈🙏

Hey! @Sez281 @Jadeypie

So I tested this morning...dunno why coz I have the worst hangover and would've felt very bad if it was positive, however it wasn't 😑 I don't think it's coming this cycle. So I'm going to refocus myself and try and loose the bad habits I've developed the last few months with diet etc you two have inspired me! X

Did an opk test to stop anymore test urges and it's rising so AF probably due in next day or two x

Hope the day's fly for you @Sez281 xx

@Westy22 I wouldn't be that inspiring if you saw me today, tad hungover too and eating keto friendly rings around myself 🙈😂 But yeah I definitely think looking after ourselves in general can only boost things 🙏 I know one if your apps still has AF not due for a few days so there's still time 🤞 xx

Negative again this morning 😑 proper annoyed me lol doesn't help that I feel awful. Had a stabby pain in my head through the night and keep going dizzy 😭 woke up today and I literally feel so spaced out. Off to work shortly, hopefully it's not a long day 😩

So I did a boots early response because clearly I wasn't happy with the first result 🙈 and now I'm even more confused. The second line came up instantly but then faded out before my eyes after about a minute. Anyone had this before? 😩 thinking is it faulty? Or was it because my urine wasn't strong enough? X

@Westy22 ooh I'm sure I've seen a post about that somewhere. I think the post was along the lines of its detected HCG but still low levels so fades...?! Not quite sure. Might be worth popping a new thread on and seeing if anyone can give you a better idea? Everything crossed for you!!

@Westy22 ...?! 🤞🏻

@Westy22 oh god that's so annoying! 😭 I really hope as @SnookyPook says that it just means that it's too early but it has happened to me before with my indent tests. I could clearly see the positive line come up on them but then watched them fade as they dried so it's almost like the tests were overwhelmed or something? They were only cheapies though I'd imagine boots are much better. It might just be that it was diluted. Definitely try again this evening. Crossing everything for you 🤞 xx

Thanks girls, I've googled and there's lots of possible reasons, so think I'm just best waiting a bit longer. Flo has me down as late now but I don't really know how it's worked it out as I'm only CD25 and it's usually 27/28. Wish I never did that test now lol I'll never learn 🙈

@Westy22 don't beat yourself up over it, we've all been there. Plus technically you're late in one app so I'd have 💯 tested! Really hope you get good news in next day or 2 🤞🤞

Im currently cd29 and my cycles are usually 23-27 days so it's absolutely killing me not knowing when AF is due after that crazy late ovulation. My app is saying it's 2 days away at 10dpo which would make sense as I have short luteal phases so I'm just going to have to wait till then 🥴

How are you getting on @SnookyPook?

@Sez281 ooh good luck @Sez281... tww is more torturous than usual when you're not even sure when to properly expect AF.

I'm 5/6dpo so right in the middle of the fun bit of tww... 😜 I had really sore boobs yesterday and today I've got a noticeable increase of CM like I did last month and with previous pregnancies... so... not symptom spotting has already gone out of the window! I am feeling hopeful but equally a bit 'che sera, sera'. If the CM ramps up more around 8/9dpo I might allow myself a bit more hope. I know even if it's a BFP it's a long way from a sticky bean though so trying to take things as they come. But for where I'm at in my cycle I at least feel a little hopeful. 🤞🏻

Keep me posted with how you're getting on! X

@SnookyPook that sounds really promising, I know CM has been a major indicator for you previously so hopefully it increases! It's definitely ok to be hopeful, crossing everything for you 🤞 xx

I have no symptoms really, breasts a little fuller today and on and off cramps but that's kind of the norm for me so can't really use it as an indication of anything. I'm actually not due AF for 3 days not 2 as I'm 7dpo now but not feeling that hopeful as we just about managed to dtd twice when I got that late peak. You never know though it's happened before 🤷‍♀️

Hi ladies, hope you are all doing well. It sounds like you are all in similar stages, has this thread caused you all to sync up?!

I was speaking to a midwife today and asked her about the research into prescribing progesterone. She said findings weren’t conclusive and research is continuing but the plan is (long term) to prescribe this in every pregnancy. She said if we decide to try again I should be able to have this prescribed from my GP or if they wouldn’t then to go through the Obstetrician. On one hand I was really pleased to hear that it could be a possibility for us but on the other a bit sad that it could have been prescribed previously and I might not be in this position today. I know it’s not a guarantee or a quick fix but thought it might be useful for others to know ☺️
