[Sez281]

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

Sorry I'm quiet ladies, I've felt a bit rough the last few days 😑 been feeling so tired then went for acupuncture yesterday which was good but after an hour of leaving I've had a lingering headache ever since right above my eyes 😫 ended up in bed by 9.30 last night. Praying it shifts today 🙏 will catch up on everyone this eve but hope your all OK xx

Aw @Westy22 get well soon -sorry you've been feeling rough x

Thanks @SnookyPook I don't know whether it's just a coincidence that it happened straight after acupuncture but it's put me off a bit 🤣 still getting a lingering ache now. Could be cycle related due to hormones etc but who knows. Hope your okay xx

Im CD10 and approaching my fertile window but opks are still very low, I do tend to get a rapid increase tho so trying not to panic, this will be an interesting cycle as I've basically put the ball in the bfs court and he knows the important days lol will be interesting to see how it pans out, I can feel myself getting annoyed already about it 🤣🤣 and subconsciously started having dreams that he's cheating on me 🤣🤣🤣 anyone else do this and wake up fuming? To clarify I don't for one second think he is lol but I must be winding myself up 🤣 poor man.

Just trying to catch up on everyone's updates lol there's so much to take in x

@HopeAndStrength wow that's after flying in. Although I'm sure it hasn't felt that way for you 😂 Best of luck with the next 7 weeks or so xx

@Westy22 aww sorry to hear you've been feeling out of sorts. Really interested to hear how the OH copes taking control of the fertile window situation 🫣And yes I've been in bad moods with my OH for things that he's done in dreams and not real life. We are all sorts of crazy 🙈😂

@Supertrooper101 the scary thing is that there are so many doctors like that out there! I'll attach my OHs results because I don't really understand them to be honest 🤔

AF arrived as predicted so I'll be in fertile window right over Christmas weekend. I know I say this every time but I'm really going to try relax and just see what happens 🤷‍♀️

@Westy22 lmfao...ive had deams like that before, and mardy for days after even though its not real lol with the accupuncture, the theory is , its re opening your channels, medians or sumat, so kind of like detoxing so if you have alot blocked it can cause headaches but its a good thing. I read it on dr google so mite not be true lol @Sez281 clinic rang me and gave me an appointment for tueaday, there was a cancellation or sumat...thing is its like a fresh appointment, so theyve no idea ehat am going in for (to complain a little lol ) asked to see that guy but she said he isnt in, am wondering if he even works in our hospital at all or just one of those who floats around the region. Would make sense! Just sent me bloods of at post office. Now that theres some scary shit 🤣 dreading the results. Amh will be 0.6 or sumat shite and fsh in its 1000s lol

@Sez281 thats a whole lota spunk in a 3ml sample 🤣.... my oh dint have that many lol his morphology was 5 aswell like that one and his dr said its basically touch n go if they can impregnante 🤷‍♀️ as your super duper scary lady nxt mth her thoughts on it lol

@Supertrooper101 You're right, I never looked too much into the morphology but could be a little better. I've just told OH not to be so cocky and keep taking his supplements 😂

Great news about the cancellation.. although god love the poor consultant that you meet 🙈😂 I'm sure your bloods will be much better than you expect too! X

@Sez281 well below 4 is basically infertile in terms of natrual conception. Its quite a huge thing that one...so tell him he needs to up his game lol am not sure if it was the hair loss shit my oh was on or again, a fking age fing lol thats shit about af..... thought u being quiet was no news good news haha. But ive never beleived that theory...no news to me means they cant b arsed to get back to you lol

@Supertrooper101 😂 Not that I couldn't be arsed, just haven't had a minute between work and taking nieces and nephews to panto etc 🤯😂 it's great though as I haven't been on MN or thinking about ttc every 2 mins 🫠

Just had a quick deep dive there on other threads about morphology and apparently high volume and concentration can counteract borderline morphology results so I think we might be ok 🙏 I won't tell him that though, the vitamins he's taking are still super important., and we definitely both need a health kick in the New Year! 💪

Ohhh these sperm results are interesting, I need make sure my OH has them done in Jan 🤣 still not sure he's clicked hes got to do that. I feel so bad now yano @Supertrooper101 @Sez281 for throwing the fertile window dates at him, I bet he's so anxious 🤣🤣 but it starts tomorrow so I'll update as to how he gets on lol

Hospital rang me today with a cancellation for a scan tomorrow but I'm working so they've scheduled me in for the 2nd January, which is the day before my period is due(that could be a good pregnancy test 🤣) happy they've contacted me tho xx

Oh that's great about the scan @Westy22 At least the ball is rolling 👏

I don't know how my OH would feel if I told him to take control. In fairness he's been a trooper as he was so sick last cycle and powered through because he knew we had to. He's actually still not better and now I'm coming down with something 😣so if my peak comes early I'd be very tempted to do the AI method a few of the days like @Supertrooper101 I don't know if I'd be able to convince him to do it though 🤔

Ah hopefully the sickness passes for you both soon @Sez281 I don't think my OH would be up for AI, have you dropped it in to convo to gauge his reaction lol well day one of fertile window is going well, as soon as I opened my eyes this morning he was ready to go 🤣🤣 let's see how the next few days go tho as he may think one attempt is enough lol x

Morning girls. Been super busy with work and getting ready for Xmas!! Officially all sorted so can relax and enjoy the run Up to xmas.

@Sez281 looks like we will be in thread 3 soon haha.

Use girls really are my comfort space with this ttc shit show I appreciate use all!!

I have my endocrinologist ap on the 31st of January I crnt wait for it!! I only had a three day period that's even if it was one.

@SnookyPook I can imagine your anxiety being through the roof hang in there girlie xxx

@Sez281 no dummy, i didnt mean 'you' couldnt be arsed to get back to us,meant in general with certain professions, when they dont get back to us, it just means were forgotton lol my oh has been on forums too about this sperm test lol and he came to the same conclusion as what you said. His getting another form to have it repeated in feb lol hertility have my bloods 🙂 next day! So so far so good service wise...@Westy22 very good start from ur fella, if he keeps it 'up' i bet you will feel quite chuffed that his listened and also taken the pressure of you having to remind him etc etc. The using the syringe deal isnt all that bad tbh. Few points you need to be aware off but it is basically just him in a cup then you u up there haha what was your scan for again? @Jadeypie i bet thats a releive you now have an appointment. Just chill over xmas now knowing you cant really change anything until then x

@Supertrooper101 pmsl 🤣 I wasn't sure but I wasn't offended or anything, you're right! 😂😂 That's great that Hertility seem to be on the ball I don't think we have a similar service this side of the pond 🤔

Ooooh @Westy22 If say he's chuffed with himself lol, as @Supertrooper101 days hopefully he can keep it up 😜

@Jadeypie that's great news that your appointment isn't too far away, hopefully they can get to the bottom of it 🤞 My AF is gone really short too. 3 days max. I'm not complaining as it's less days of pain but hope it isn't a sign of anything untoward

I've ordered an AI kit from Amazon just to have as a back up next week. I haven't told OH yet, we'll see how it goes but if we're both sick it might be an option 🤷‍♀️ Any more tips @Supertrooper101 ? 😂

Hi ladies! I’m playing catch up here, Christmas madness and being hectic at work had taken over.
@SnookyPook nice to hear you are doing ok and thinking of you with your scan this week.
@Westy22 sounds like you are off to a great start with your fertile week, long may it continue!

@Supertrooper101 I listening to a podcast with the founder of hertility, it sounded like a great service. Not just taking your bloods but all the follow up options they have too. Hopefully you get some news back from
them soon.

@Jadeypie I am jealous of you being organised for Christmas, im almost there 🫣 Good news for your appointment in Jan too, sounds like starting the new year off well informed.

@Sez281 hope you are feeling better, there is nothing worse than non feeling up to anything but knowing it’s your peak days. My AF can be quite short too, a few days it’s heavy and then mostly light or spotting. Who knows if it means anything .

I’ve been on my progesterone gel for just about a week now. It’s fine to use but can be a little messy 🙄 I’ve not had any spotting yet this cycle so hopefully that a good sign or I’ve maybe just jinxed myself!

@Sez281 are you still getting the same kind of pain in your cycle then? Was it like that pre mmc? Ooo what ai kit did u buy?? Basically all ive read is you need to let it 'liquidfy' for 15 mins before syringing it up lol think its so its easyer to get in the syringe and not so gloopy 🤔 lol thats funny as f that you will have it sat in a draw on stand by and he will be completley oblivious haha... my cycle seems to be really heavy 1st 2 days and very jelly clumpy.....not sure if am just paying more attention and its actually always been like that. Acupuncture lucy lady says its bad circulation. Her herbs tho, bought some..... £9 a tub...one tub for period, one tub after period to ovulation then the 3rd ovulation to period. Got 2 tubs so far. Says 54 tabs in each bottle so thought ok, these will last a while so not getting ripped off at all ....... then see it says 5-6 tabs.....a day !!! £27 frigging quid a mth. No thank you. I will just get the egg quaitys ones later tho lol the only bloody ones i didnt get at the time 🤦‍♀️@xxcxdonxx i did wonder if i get a report with the blood work or just the results. There was an option for a 49pd consultation on top. But hay, thats what googles for isnt it 🙆‍♀️ lol am really intrigued on your journey with this messy miracle progesterone lol mite self dose on iherb lol sure theyl be a forum on how to go about it somewhere 🤔 lol

Hi ladies 👋🏽 Just a little check in to say hi really. I haven’t commented in long while but check in every so often to see how everyone is getting on❤️ some great updates with testing & assessments. im hoping the absolute best for everyone in these next few cycles 👼🏼🌈

trigger warning: preg update ❤️🌈
I kinda can’t believe we are at Christmas already, this stage felt like forever away back in May/June but I’ve abt 6 weeks left now and all is going well. I’m tired, big & uncomfortable but obviously so grateful. Getting very excited to see babies wee face & features and really can’t believe I’m here, I still don’t believe it’s actually happening in a way.

sending so much love to everyone and praying for lots of rainbow babies in 2024 💛🧡❤️💜💚💙

Lovely to hear your update @DmcinT ❤️ So glad all is progressing so well 💕 Exciting not long to go now at all! 🥰 X

@DmcinT Oh wow I can't believe how fast time has gone. That's so exciting. I love hearing all the updates, I know it might be difficult for some but I really believe the rest of us will be coming back in the months to come doing the same🙏 🌈 Enjoy the next few weeks and have a lovely Christmas xx

@SnookyPook How are you feeling? You've the scan this week yeah? Hope you're doing ok xx

@xxcxdonxx that's great that you've had no spotting since taking the progesterone. How many dpo are you now? X

@Supertrooper101 yeah I'm still having the pain pretty much from ovulation to AF😣 the only time I don't have it is the few days after AF. I think it must be a hormonal thing but I definitely didn't have it before the MMC 🤷‍♀️ That's so expensive for the herbal stuff! I'm going to start acupuncture in the New Year I think, to help me chill out if nothing else 🧘

I told the OH that the AI syringes arrived last night so he's not to feel under any pressure, he thought it was hilarious. He said he's up to the challenge this week but we'll see if he still feels the same come the weekend 😂

Hello everyone! Like @DmcinT im back with a little update. I'm now almost 27 weeks and also can't believe I am here.
This time last year I was devestated as I'd just got my period again for the third time since my loss and thought I'd never be where I am now.
I hope you are all well ❤️xx

@Strawb28 so lovely to hear! Congratulations 🥰

@Sez281 thank you... Yes it's on Thursday. I'm super nervous tbh. Yesterday I suddenly felt really wet while I was walking through town and was absolutely convinced my knickers would be full of blood when I got to the toilet. They weren't... Just discharge (sorry tmi!!) I'm just mostly putting it out of my mind as much as possible in a weird way but then I remember or something like that happens and I realise I'm quite on edge 😬 Plus on another thread another poster has just unfortunately had her 2nd MMC diagnosed at a scan 😔 so I just don't know. Finding this 1st trimester quite difficult but always knew it wasn't going to be a breeze. Thanks for checking in and apologies to be a bit doom and gloom!

@DmcinT and @Strawb28 it's wonderful to see your updates, I'm 30 weeks now and also sometimes can't believe I've reached this point. @DmcinT I think yours will be the group's first rainbow baby soon!! Can't wait to hear your happy news when they arrive.

@SnookyPook your update resonates so much, I had scares like these right through the first trimester. Pregnancy after loss is so tough but sounds like you're doing a great job managing the anxiety. Your scan is so close now, can't wait for your update.
My only other advice for getting through the early weeks would be to keep focusing on small milestones. Booking an extra private scan helped us a bit even though it didn't relieve the anxiety entirely.

@Sez281 that sucks you're still having pain, acupuncture sounds like a great idea. Good that your OH is up for the weekend challenge 😂
I'm glad you're happy to see pregnancy updates from those of us who have fallen pregnant again, you're right that it WILL happen for everyone in the group still trying.

Morning everyone

Lovely to hear the updates @DmcinT @Hankthehonk @Strawb28 🌈❤️

Will be thinking of you @SnookyPook I can imagine this is a very nerve wracking week but fingers crossed 🌈❤️❤️

I'm CD14 today, I've had plenty of fertile CM and the OH is still very much in control of my fertile week 🤣🤣 I'm so proud of him 🤣 it's took the stress off me this week, I'm just trying to make sure I look desirable and put a bit of effort in so I don't make things a struggle...with my usual unwashed hair and mis match pjs 🤣🤣 OPKs are stressing me out tho as still no indicator of a LH rise, think I'm just going to bin them and roll with the signs as I'm getting cramps and have burny boobs.

Good luck with the possible AI @Sez281 it's good your OH saw the funny side of it lol

@xxcxdonxx glad you got the progesterone, fingers crossed this cycle 🙏 I've got to book my bloods in for Jan for a progesterone check so that will be interesting!

@Supertrooper101 I'm fighting the urge to venture into more herbal shops to buy more miracle drugs 🤣 I keep forgetting to take the stuff I have now 🙈

@Jadeypie glad your okay and looking forward to Xmas, I'm so unorganised for Xmas 🙈🙈 but looking forward to chilling out for a few days with the OH and switching off. Just got to get through this crazy retail week 💤💤

@Sez281 nicely worded with the ai kit to your oh... its to take the pressure of you, am thinking soley about you buying this... (aka... am getting your spunk in me no matter what and now you have no excuses 🤣) he seems easy going so youl probably not even use them lol which set did you get? I dont know the best syringe type lol @Westy22 i bet your oh feels like DA MAN right now lol hil be loving the me man you woman lay down me make baby 👊 haha... so i had another gyne appointment today. Bord of that place. We positivley do not qualify for ivf. Who would av fort hay 🤦‍♀️.... i did ask who he even was and does he even work there.. she waa a little quiet and said maybe his a junior lmfao.... like,wtf, you have a stray guy taking appointments.....very professional. Anyway she said oh sperm will work and would i like a hsg 🤣... yes lady,yes i would! Ill try these herbs but wont be a regualr thing. Wush we could have a test like guys which anaylise are eggs. Other than what they do in ivf... so yeah. Cd erm 7 i think.
