[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

It has been a shit year for us all and for me seems to get harder each period. I wasted alot of time in my 30s and wish i had started trying for another sooner. But grateful for my 2 and need to focus on that. Im giving it till april then accepting its not going to happen again. Too tireing on my brain all this lol it dosent matter if i have loads of tests and procedures, if my eggs are whack then theres no miracle drug for quality 🤷‍♀️ i agree with you all tho, this group has been good to know am not alone in all this 🙂..... (sounds like were all saying our goodbyes dunt it 🤣)

@Westy22 f**k it get the quality street and coffee into you! 🤪 Sorry to hear you're sick again, I'm still smothered. I've heard a lot of anicdotal stories of people getting BFPs after being sick (something about your immune system busy fighting off the cold and forgetting to attack the sperm) so fingers crossed this is the case! 🤞😂 xx

@xxcxdonxx sorry to hear it's bfn but enjoy the few glasses of Prosecco and have a great Christmas, I have the cyclogest ready to go again too so hopefully we'll both be on the high dose soon! Xx

@Supertrooper101 I think my testosterone seems ok (1.3 on my 21 day bloods) I'm only on 25mg of the DHEA so don't think it's going to increase it that much! Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit deflated. I totally get what you mean about regretting letting time go by 😕 You're fortunate to have your other DC, I only met my OH when I was 38 so time has never been on my side. I still feel really hopefully for us 2 "aul ones" as they say here in Dublin though 😂

I hit my peak today and myself and OH have thrown the kitchen sink at it this cycle so it's in the hands of the fertility gods now 🤷‍♀️

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas. We've all had a crappy year and totally deserve it 💝 To those that have their BFPs already enjoy every second and can't wait to hear updates. 🫶

To those of us still waiting enjoy the food & bubbles and 2024 will be our year 🌈 🙏🎁 xxx

Have a lovely Xmas everyone!! Enjoy with wine and food 🍷 I have fully indulged already and love it haha. 2024 is going to be our year it has to be!

Crnt wait for the little arrivals coming soon too 🥰

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 xxx

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all had lovely days 🥰

@Sez281 well ive had blank cbs since doing them this cycle then today a solid smile 🤔 am just going along with it now lol cd14. Very text book lol

Hope everyone's had a lovely Xmas!! I officially feel like a stuffed pig 🤣🤣 I'm also itching to get these trees down I feel the house is too crowded now Santa's been ha.

Last couple if days my boobs are killing havnt had these in a while so I'm thinking my hormones are working this cycle still don't no where I am @Supertrooper101 like you I'm just rolling with it haha xx

Merry Christmas ladies, hope you have all had a lovely few days.
I’m with you @Jadeypie , my house has so much chocolate in it too so I’ll be continuing for a while 🤣 I know what you mean, my house feels hectic and I like taking my tree down early too. I’ll give it a few days but down before new year.

Sounds like everything is going to plan @Supertrooper101 @Jadeypie and a promising start for this month.

My period arrived today, a few days later than expected but just glad to get started and then onto a new cycle and new year!
I did wonder if that gel interfered with any sperm meeting an egg as it was quite thick 🤢 so here’s to better luck with the cyclogest.

Merry Christmas ladies 🎅 I'm enjoying a lovely break but the OH is getting cabin fever which is starting to annoy me 🤣 he wants to go shopping today....I work in retail why the hell do I want to do that?!?

6dpo today, had some cramping feelings since 4 dpo which doesnt tend to happen all the time so im hoping thats a good sign. Boobs have been hurting a bit but that can be the norm for me most cycles, other than that not much happening, just hoping the days pass quickly x

Xx

@xxcxdonxx whyyyy do we get so much chocolate!! I crnt even look at it anymore haha! Glad your feeling positive with af arriving and going steam ahead for the new year haha hopefully we get 2024 babies xx

@Westy22 I feel yeh I work in retail I'm.back tomorrow and I just don't want to go I also need to run out for some shopping today and I'm lying in bed thinking whyyy ha.

According to my ap I'm on cd7 which runs with those pains I got which could have been ovulation but my other ap is saying I'm just approaching my fertile windows so God nos but these sore boobs wow they are sore mostly my nipples so I'm either pregnant or I'm going to be due on the 4th and that's why they are sore I havnt had spre boobs in months so it's been a surprise. I have had them before af too tho so the games began with symptom spotting haha xx

Haha I've already been obsessing over my OPKs the last few days 🙈 think I'm using them to satisfy the urge to start testing @Jadeypie 🙈 it has risen today so I'm like oooo what's it doing 🤣🤣 I'm actually insane as its fluctuated before at this point of my cycle. X

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas ladies, @Supertrooper101 what a time for a static smiley, did you manage to get a few quickies in? 🙈😂 xx

@xxcxdonxx sorry to hear AF arrived, I think the progesterone delays it a bit from what I've heard it won't come until a few days after stopping. I still think it's worth it though, hopefully next cycle is the one 🤞 xx

@Jadeypie it's great that you're getting signs that something is happening, even if not sure what it is or where you are 😂 Could be a great sign going forward and the specialist might be able to confirm what's going on 🙏 xx

@Westy22 Im feeling really hopeful for you this cycle, you're 7dpo now yeah? It sounds like you and OH threw the kitchen sink at it so crossing everything for you! 🙏 Also I hope you didn't end up getting dragged to the shops and are enjoying the down time 😂 xx

@SnookyPook hope you had a lovely Christmas ☺️ Any symptoms yet? X

No news with me, but be been eating and drinking rings around myself all week 🤪so looking forward to silly season being over and starting diet and health kick in the new year 💪

I'm in no man's land at the moment, 3DPO according to opks and 5dpo according to temp. I'm not sure which to go by but I think we dtd enough to cover every eventuality 🙏 I'm still not going to get my hopes up though. We have appointment with the consultant on the 9th so I assume I'll be put on leterazol or something similar for a few months to try and kickstart things before we go down the IVF route but hoping it won't come to that 😕

@Sez281 thanks lovely! Yeah it's been busy but lovely thanks. 8+2 now. Still minimal symptoms tbh. Increased appetite and sore boobs are the main ones! But managing to be a bit more hopeful since scan showed a good heartbeat. Very much feeling in the danger zone still though. My MMC stopped developing at 7+5 so I feel a bit in limbo right now. Got another scan on 10th Jan so just trying to take it a day at a time and focus on the positives. 🙏🏼🌈💕

Glad to hear you're all doing well. So hoping for some more BFPs on here in the New Year 💕

Ah I'm glad your hopeful for me @Sez281 🤣 I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up 🙈 but I do feel like we give it a good go this month, I will be gutted if it doesn't work lol but I also have to try and be ready if its not the month. I've had loads of clear cm this afternoon at 7dpo so that's a bit confusing, still feeling achey in my lower abdomen and my lower back but could be down to anything tbh lol I'm dying to start testing but I know it's well too early lol x

You never know @Sez281 it could me your cycle 🤞 I'll guess we will both know soon enough where we are x

Glad your still feeling hopeful 🤞 @SnookyPook the 10th will be here before you know it xx

@Sez281 ive no idea where am at 🤣 got that static tuesday i think, temps havent rise n tho, actually one side of my gob said a higher temp and the other one a lower one lol am really not bothered this mth tbh lol got back ache but done loads of lego so that will be that lol with got plenty of quickies in. Have another go tomorrow then thats it lol think am back at clinic 16th jan for the biopsy results. @Westy22 all sounds very confusing! Lol... @Jadeypie id forever squeeze my boobs to see if they were sore as its not normally a sympton i would get with af.....pretty certain i made them sore 🤣 @SnookyPook day by day sounds good x

Good luck this cycle @Supertrooper101 🤞 I've got my first pelvic scan on Tuesday morning, I'm concerned that if AF arrives by then it might mess the whole thing up? Maybe I should've asked the question lol like will they get an accurate view of my womb lol I should also be able to schedule my day 21 bloods in Jan which is something. Telling myself that if it's not a successful cycle atleast I've got things moving tests wise.

Totally switched on mental symptom spotter now tho, dunno why I do this to myself because I get certain symptoms every bloody month 🤣 anyway the cramping stopped last night and now the burny boobs have started. 8dpo and it's going so sloooooooowwww.

Hope everyone else is good? Xxx

@SnookyPook hahaha I think we have all done that one 🤣

@Westy22 I'm the same hahaha like am fully convincing myself this is the month when deep down I know it's not because I havnt had sore boobs in ages am like well why now and it possibly could be just my hormones playing up like per usual ha

I've had my letter for the endocrinologist and it's saying about checking for diabetes and going on about diabetes plan this and that! God nos why because no ones mentioned that to me so am sort of pissed off because I thought it was about these dodgy hormones and cycles xx

@SnookyPook sorry that was for @Supertrooper101 over the boob squeeze!! I was meant to congratulate you on your scan and beans little heartbeat xx

Haha I'm glad I'm not alone. Where are you in your cycle?

Ahh tbh @Jadeypie my gp is doing a full blood check on me and is also looking at diabetes as apparently that can mess things up, there's a whole list of things she's looking at that you wouldn't think to look at x

@Westy22 am not sure about being on your period for the scan. It depends what the scan is for. I had one and they said its better if you are on as it tells them more,then other scans where you cant be on. Give them a ring x im acheing all over. 3dpo.....but....ive got a new matress and ive not worked out in a week so common sense is telling me to shut up 🤣. Am not bothered. Like you ive a few things coming up so if am not pregnant, which i wont be lol then at least theres other stuff to be done. @Jadeypie i hope its more than a bloody diabetes check! Your dr can do all that lol think you need to have a 10hr google search and go with a list of things you want testing lol if all the basics have been checked see what dr google says is left. Youve been waiting ages for answers so hope they dont mess you around.

@Jadeypie you were referred due to your testosterone levels is that right? Not sure if that plays a part in glucose/diabetes stuff but hopefully you get answers soon 🙏

@Westy22 any sign of AF yet? Have you been testing? Not sure about what they'll say if you have it for scan, I've only had transvaginal ones before or after but I know it's possible to still do it.

@Supertrooper101 you're in limbo land like me. I think the post Christmas bloat is giving me all sorts of fake symptoms like nausea, indigestion and my usual cramps 😣 so not reading anything into it! Good that you'll get biopsy results soon but also that you have lots of things coming up to keep you focused on xx

Nothing yet @Sez281 , I was originally due on Tuesday but my apps changed now so ones saying Wednesday and one is saying Thursday 🤣

I'm 9dpo and I would be lying if I said I've not done tests 🤣🤣 I did one last night and got that obsessed thinking there was a shadow on an early one, that I practically flooded the bathroom as I wasn't paying attention to the bath 🤣🤣

I have no more early ones tho now and I've got mixed feelings about this cycle. Boobs feel slightly more sensitive and feel weirdly itchy on one today (that could be my jumper tho 🤣) i'm very bloated and feel drained but that could just be work and the fact I've eaten so much rubbish, but nothing much going on xx I'll probably do a cheap test stick every morning for the next few days to satisfy the urge 🙈

Does say on my letter that they may well do transvaginal so I'll be prepared for that too and make everything pretty 🤣🤣🙈

I have a good feeling about this thread over the next few weeks. Hopefully will all the tests and appointments going on you ladies can get some support/answers and we’ll have some positive stories coming our way.
Good luck for tomorrow @Westy22 🤞🏻

No judgement here @Westy22 I'm a poas addict 🙈😂 Good luck with the scan today xx

@xxcxdonxx I agree, I feel like we definitely have some positive stories coming. We ended the year with @SnookyPook 's so hopefully we'll start the year with some good news over the next few cycles 🙏 xx

Happy New Year ladies xx

@Westy22 haha made me laff,that is serious sympton spotting, but good that your still a little sane in making yourself laff with the too much food and jumper! Lol but you never know 🙂.... i dont think ive ever had an app thats correct. I go by my temp drop and then af sure enough arrives... but not been up at the same time this last week so trying to adjust them as if i were, so there basically all over the place lol i need some of your guys positivity lol am still like meh, whatever now lol and i must be the only one with no pregnancy sticks in lol opk do my head in as it is. Mite order some to join the obession 🤣... what are they looking for on the scan? I think if your bleeding , being pretty down there aint gona make much difference 🤣 hopefully they will tell you something/anything while your there x

@Westy22 I just realised your scan is Tuesday and not today 🤦‍♀️ Hopefully you won't even need it by then! 🤞x
