[Sez281]

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

@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

Just catching up, you guys are giving me alot to google lol i love how we all compare notes now lol still feeling fine about AF arriving it was super heavy yesterday but feels like it's nearly over today 😫 hate crap periods, just give me a 4/5 dayer. Booked day 21 bloods so will hopefully give me an indication as to what my hormones are like, also told my OH to get his appointment booked. I'm very intrigued about seed cycling definitely gonna look into it 🤣 also researching sticky blood @xxcxdonxx

Started temping but I'm not liking it and I don't know how reliable it will be as I have days where I wake up later 🙈

Booked a week away next week so I'm looking forward to having a peaceful break with the OH xx

@Sez281 i did another test today but afternoon so my pee was see throughby that point.am amusing myself doing them tbh lol if my second half is more than 12 days, then i think this progesterone may cause more harm than good for me. I have ordered some melatonin tho. Literally tired of taking ages to fall aslp to then be awake again an hour later 🤯. Although it may be all the horror games ive been xboxing latley till bed 🤣... but nar, its been like this for a long time so hopefully they will help. Its another hormone tho am buggering around with tablet wise lol what times ur appointment tomorrow 😁 looking forward to hearing the plan of qctuon ! I had a cycle or 2 where i ovulated like day 7 or 8. I have no idea whats going on with us all sometimes lol

@xxcxdonxx i tend to take aspirin anyway due to really shitty circulation so maybe ill not need that test lol got my shbt and testosterone again at end of mth so knowing me ill asj for the sake of it lol

@Westy22 i read that you can adjust the temp result by 0.1 per half hour up or day to make it the same as a set time. If that makes sense 🤣 . So my up time is 7.30am but not at wkends so i would minus some of the temp read at the wkends. Am pretty sure you are meant to set ur alarm for like 6am or sumat stupidly early every single day to make it accurate.... i aint doing that tho lol i mainly pay attention to it more around ovulation and pre af

Hi ladies just a quick check in so sorry if I've missed anyone! I'm in work and so busy 🙈

@xxcxdonxx did they say cd18 or 3DPO? I guess it really depends but you definitely have to have ovulated first or the progesterone would block it?

@Supertrooper101 anymore tests?

@Westy22 did you pre book tour day 21 as you know exactly when you ovulate or will you wait to book for 7 days after you know you have? The break away will be lovely for you both x

As expected I was completely overwhelmed by the appointment🤯. Was quite emotional when we left. I'm starting leterazol and trigger shot next cycle (it's too late this one as I'm cd5 and have to start on cd3) the ivf referral has been sent in too just to get the ball rolling. Have to lose a stone but I think that's quite manageable. I just feel like I didn't get any of my questions answered. I mentioned my short LP and high prolactin but she didn't seem too bothered. She says I ovulate so that's good. I'll attach the plan here.

I didn't sleep much last night and I'm really stressed in work so that's probably not helping I'm sure when start the monitoring I'll feel better. Just raging in 2 days too late to start this month. We'll give it a go as normal anyway 🤷‍♀️

@Sez281 its CD18 I was advised to start but I’m panicking now as I’ve started spotting so going to start tomorrow. My opk was peak Friday PM to Sunday AM and Sunday PM was much lower so assuming i’ve ovulated by now.

It’s just such a battle of knowing what to do best and having a weird early ovulation doesn’t help!

Sounds like you have a great plan in place. Annoying you are two days past the start for this month but one last hurrah before the new month starts. Hope you get a better nights sleep xx

@Sez281 over my head all that you put lol What are the chances 2 follicles will grow,you could be out more than what your in the game. Whats the trigger shot lol to pop the egg out? Lol Am not suprised your annoyed tho, i would have thought a short lutral phase would need looking into regardless of ovulation
Well,i did 2 tests today and both faint lines. 13dpo.. soooo , wtf lol wont give me progesterone until the pregnancy is seen as viable so got a scan on the 22nd. . Drs dont even do blood tests anymore. Midwifes just go by pregnancy tests lol what about all these chemical pregnancys ppl have tho 🤔... so ill just see what happens before the 22nd.

@xxcxdonxx it sounds like you definitely have so I'd agree to start tomorrow. They prob said cd18 from previous cycles but you know your body best

Oh my god @Supertrooper101 😱 Do you have pics?! I'm so cautiously optimistic for you!! Crossing everything it sticks! 🙏 xx

I got the atrached pic taken down as I stupidly left email on it but yeah it's a complete head f**k 🙈🤯 I guess at least it'll be out of my hands, I take the tablets have a few scans, give myself the injection and dtd 6-8 hours later 🤷‍♀️😂

Ahhh @Supertrooper101 thinking of you and keeping everything crossed! It’s so frustrating to have to wait until a pregnancy is confirmed but sounds like you are on the ball with getting your scan booked!

@Sez281 Its good that you get the extra scans, just to check everything is in place and your timing is spot on.

@Sez281 aww it's great you've got the ball rolling tho and it's set in place!! Understanble feeling overwhelmed and especially being those few days out but what's meant is meant xx

@Supertrooper101 oooooo this is so exciting!! I'm keeping everything crossed for you. I'm also wanting to see these test like @Sez281 haha also why have they stopped blood test? As you say pregnancy tests rnt so reliable sometimes with all these evaps and dodgy clear blues. How do you feel?

I've booked my smear for tomorrow so that's done before this appointment the end of the month so it's another thing ticked off the list I really just hope this ap brings me some answers and I don't just get fobbed off xx

@Supertrooper101 wow this is very exciting! Will you keep testing?
I'd say it was down to the lucky vitamin tablets I posted you but you won't even have had a chance to take them 🤪🤪

I was thinking that @Hankthehonk 🤣🤣 can you forward them me @Supertrooper101 🤣 fingers crossed for you! Xx

I've just literally gone off cycle days @Sez281 and prebooked if it's wrong then feck it, they will have to do them again next month 😑 I'm so ready for a break 🙌 sounds like you have a good plan, does it make you feel more positive? I've found when I know I have tests etc coming up I feel less down and like it's never going to happen.

X

@Sez281 am still baffled by the shot part, gona google it lol is the ivf going to be nhs funded, i hope it is for you x this test i did today so 14dpo. .... the mmc and trying for 9mths have taken all the joy of this away. So mad at what we have to go through. Am on a downer 🤣 i did this test and no line came up at first so fort the worst
@Hankthehonk those hopeful vibes you sent with them must have reached me before the parcel 🤣
@xxcxdonxx @Jadeypie my drs last year gave me a blood test to confirm....this year there saying they havemt done them for 3 years.... erm...ok. but what about false positives stuff like that. And chemicals 🤷‍♀️. Midwife confirmed tho and said yeah home tests are good enough for them. Seems weird. I dont feel anything really, my boobs arnt really sore. I didnt test until a week after my missed period last time so noticed things more. Am only like, 4wks today lol absolutley means nothing in certaintanty going by these threads lol

@Supertrooper101 that's a lovely line, nice and pink!! Ohhhh I'm so so happy for you. Totally get the downer feeling. I said earlier on innocence gets robbed from pregnancy when we have been through a hard time.thats how I imagine to feel anyway. But enjoy each day as it comes. Now you know your pregnant I'm sure symptoms will start flooding in haha.

I've been for my smear I did t realise how long ago it was when I had my last so she wasn't impressed oops. X

Awww @Supertrooper101 there's no mistaking that! 🥹 I totally get what you mean about not being able to celebrate, it's so shit. We'll feel hopeful for you though 🤞 xx

Pmsl you can research leterazol and gonsai injection for me if you want! It's basically a hcg trigger (which means no early testing for me in February as they'll be false positives for about 10 days after the trigger shot)

So I'm actually private at the moment for all consultations etc (my insurance pays half) but luckily I had my first appointment with her a week before my 41st birthday so technically qualify for public ivf now (as we've no children) and there's a new scheme in Ireland since last year which means it's done quite quickly from referral so that's good 🤷‍♀️

@Westy22 if your day 21 days fall around 7 days after you ovulate then your bloods will be perfect xx

@Jadeypie you've just reminded me that I need to try get smear booked this week too as my last appointment was cancelled. I know they're not pleasant but good idea getting it out of the way xx

@xxcxdonxx good luck with the progesterone, hope it's hot too messy! X

@Supertrooper101 that's a great line! I know just how anxious and difficult it is holding all the emotions of pregnancy after loss. It's rubbish your doctor won't do anything to confirm.
I obsessed about line progression until I got a dye stealer, then I booked an early scan...you just need to focus on the next milestone I guess.
It will be hard for you to be excited but we're excited for you! Remember, right now you are pregnant 🎉

@Supertrooper101 😍 congratulations! It is hard to enjoy pregnancy after loss but try to enjoy each moment as much as possible and trust that you are pregnant until any confirmation otherwise! Right now, in this moment, you are pregnant, and there is every chance it will work out. ❤️

Thank you people 😁 so nice to talk to you all knowing that you know what all this bullshit is like lol @Sez281 i think i know what your on about now, someone was having them on another thread along side iui so she never knew what to beleive when testing. She got pregnant though and still is. I could be wrong, but i think tgeybwere doing iui only cos her partners sperm wasnt that great, but you dont have that problem sooooooo heres hoping, but you have ivf as a fail safe so either way, i think this year will be better than last for you x
@Hankthehonk not sure what to do about testing, i might do another friday. Thing is, with no confirmation from a dr, were left with no choice really but to test if we have scans etc booked. Ya damned either way
My last last smear they couldnt find my cervix. I just fort another shitshow to add to the list of google lol

@Supertrooper101 I thought she couldn't find mine at first she was having a good old root! Haha She had the spatula thing tilted in the end I'm wondering now if my cervix is abit tilted! Why do we over think everything hahaha

@Supertrooper101 I fully admit I was crazy about it but I was doing boots tests on odd dpo days and first response tests on even dpo days so I had 48 hour progression comparison between the same brand of tests 😅

@Hankthehonk my days that is extreme 🤣... how long did you do that for lol
@Jadeypie i remember reading that our cervixes changes position depending which part of the cycle were in so i asked if it was that, she could be, or its tilted... like wtf, dont add to my stress lol

Ahhh that's a good line @Supertrooper101 🌈🌈 🤞🤞

You've just reminded me @Jadeypie dunno whether I'm due one lol I have to put my hands under my bum when I go 🤣 think I have a tilted womb. Last time they said I have a very high cervix...I was like what's that mean? She said oohh you may struggle giving birth...I was like oh thanks for that 🤣

Debating whether I do any opks this month, it's not bloody helping anything is it 🤣 might just aim to cover most days of predicted fertile window but add a few days on just incase. OH hasn't booked his docs yet, if he doesn't do it today I'm going to go mad 🤣 I'm approaching my birthday and the blues are setting in, I don't want to get older 😫

@Supertrooper101 aw that’s a great line!
Totally understand your concerns but as others have said, today you are pregnant and that is amazing news!

Yeah it is one day at a time, but great comments from you guys really help 🙂... i said to the other half that this journey is going to be hard. ...he said why...🤔🤔🤔... ok babe.... you lot got my worrys straight away, him....nar..... its annoying how some of you guys drs have said progesterone from a bfp, yet my epu are saying nope, u need to have 3 loses and be bleeding.. clinic alreasy said i could have it but ofc they made no notes on it. Saw on another page that tommys charity chgd the rules to one loss in july 2023. Am at the clinic tuesday so may as well still use the appointment for that.
@Westy22 i always have to make fists and put under my bum lol i was like that with opks, but then i wanted to know for peace of mind. But then doubted them and went by my temps anyway lol we did use preseed for the first time tho, could be many reasons why it finally happened but i liked that stuff cos it seemed to 'stick' everything up there for ages lol also did seed cycling properly too. Oh said its a time thing and thats why it happened, and am like, what 9 mths and boom, just time.....none of this new shit 🤔 f knows lol

I have my fingers crossed for you @Supertrooper101
P.S. I have a tilted uterus too, they mentioned it at a scan and I had to wriggle about for them to get a good angle. They didn't seem concerned though.

@Supertrooper101 I had no progesterone after 3 losses until I had that spotting at 8 weeks! Would have really made me question things if I'd had another early loss. It seems so random from place to place. I was told at one point I could always be creative with the truth and say I'd had spotting/a bleed... Always an option... 💕

Also... Had to laugh at your OHs comment... They don't have a clue do they?!? 😂😩
