@Angelselevenx gawd 😭 it's a minefield. This might help, that might help, you drive yourself insane. Im on contraception 🥂 and now I'm getting DH back for all the times he said no to me (not that many but always at a vital stage 🤣🤣) xxx

emmatcc1 · 30/06/2024 22:22

@Angelselevenx I haven’t had any testing yet.

TheBirdintheCave · 01/07/2024 05:23

@Angelselevenx I had it left over from the second miscarriage so figured it wouldn't hurt to use it up. I'm sure my clinic would have let me have some if I'd explained what I wanted to try (for a fee lol).

Angelselevenx · 07/09/2024 17:37

Finally had progesterone prescribed to me 🥳

How you doing @emmatcc1

Hope everyone else is doing okay x

emmatcc1 · 07/09/2024 18:23

@Angelselevenx Still trying on month 8 now. I’m cd16 usually ovulate by cd14. Been brown spotting the past three days and bbt sits in the middle of my pre ov and post ov temps. Had no fertile mucus yet this cycle and cervix keeps changing back and forth between soft and hard.
Fingers crossed this is finally it for you, it’s so surreal how long this is taking isn’t it.

Angelselevenx · 07/09/2024 18:34

@emmatcc1 urgh I'm sorry. That's strange. Have you ovulated this late before?

I'll start taking progesterone 2dpo and see what happens. I'm not holding my breath to be honest, yeah it's madness I'm on cycle 20 now and cycle 18 since my chemical pregnancy back in April last year.

Losing people to speak to about TTC as everyone is pregnant or had their baby 😂 it's a lonely world out here. Hope you get ovulation soon

emmatcc1 · 07/09/2024 18:53

@Angelselevenx I don’t remember last time I ovulated past cd15.
We’re on a similar timeline this is cycle 25 for me, I want to get help but I’m already exhausted just thinking about all the appointments and possible medications.
Do update throughout your cycle how’s it going.
I hope we’re both out of these ttc forums soon.

emmatcc1 · 07/09/2024 21:56

@Angelselevenx just had ovary cramping and a good amount of ewcm for the first time in 8 months, even though it was brown from spotting but it was there. We can’t dtd today so I’m hoping tomorrow won’t be too late.

curliegirlie · 07/09/2024 22:50

I'm still around. Cycle 33 or something ridiculous post MC. And this cycle has gone I reckon as we only DTD 4 days pre ov...I'm now 6 DPO so will have that confirmed sometime next week 😏.

I'm also hear to find out about @MrsJGrealish puppy adventures 🐶 and the little Rainbows 🌈

TheBirdintheCave · 07/09/2024 23:11

Hello! We are currently shattered after just coming back from our holiday to Vienna this evening :D

Marcella is now 16 weeks old and very chubby and smiley :)

Exciting times getting the progesterone finally @Angelselevenx I hope this cycle is the one!

Angelselevenx · 08/09/2024 06:55

@curliegirlie keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@emmatcc1 did you do any LH tests?

@TheBirdintheCave thanks! I started spotting last cycle at 9DPO even after being on 7.5mg letrozole. My progesterone at 7dpo was 40 so really good, no idea if my progesterone dramatically drops from 9dpo hence the spotting but least I've got it now! Glad to hear Marcella is getting on well. How are you feeling in yourself?

emmatcc1 · 08/09/2024 12:18

@Angelselevenx Haven’t done any lh tests but cervix is still open along with some fertile mucus and no bbt rise yet.

Angelselevenx · 10/09/2024 13:20

@emmatcc1 has temp confirmed ovulation now?

How are you doing @bringmearainbow x

emmatcc1 · 10/09/2024 13:40

@Angelselevenx Actually no, I’m on cd19 today and bbt this morning was still very low, I wanted to do a LH test this morning but completely forgot so I’m gonna do it later today. Cervix still changing from firm to soft, barely any cervical mucus and no sex drive. It’s really frustrating.
Where in your cycle are you?

Angelselevenx · 10/09/2024 13:53

@emmatcc1 how annoying! I'm CD6, usually ovulate CD16 on Letrozole so a while to go yet

emmatcc1 · 10/09/2024 17:25

@Angelselevenx I just did a LH test and it’s at 0.5 so either I just had a peak or about to get one. Such a relief knowing I’ll ovulate but confused on why so late.

ExMrsGrealish · 10/09/2024 18:49

@curliegirlie all good here lovely! Ruairi is attracting attention from EVERYONE. The police pulled up on our last walk today saying we just had too, I need to cuddle this pup 😍 I'm like 'Ruairi you're in trouble for stealing the cats biscuits' 🤣

Still slogging away ttc? I'll not lie I do think about it at times but I know that's not an option for me now. Hope you get your little rainbow xx

TheBirdintheCave · 10/09/2024 19:06

@ExMrsGrealish Yay! I'm so glad you're enjoying your wee doggo :D

ExMrsGrealish · 10/09/2024 19:43

@TheBirdintheCave honestly it's one of the best things I've ever done. DH is obsessed too. Glad little Marcie is doing well 💕

emmatcc1 · 11/09/2024 10:08

@Angelselevenx Got a very positive lh test today, i can’t remember the last time it was this dark. My cervical mucus is still creamy so we’ll be using some conceive plus to help things go to right places.

Angelselevenx · 25/09/2024 12:03

@emmatcc1 how're you doing?

emmatcc1 · 01/10/2024 15:36

@Angelselevenx Just finished yet another period.
How are you?

curliegirlie · 21/02/2025 11:55

Hello all. A bit of cautious news. This cycle was to be my actual, real final cycle, as it would bring me to the 3 year mark. But I got a squinter of a line both yesterday and today at 9 and 10dpo 😱. A bit of handholding needed if anyone is still around....

@curliegirlie oh my goodness! That’s wonderful news.

curliegirlie · 21/02/2025 14:00

Thanks @LuckyMoonstone ! I keep staring at the tests. I can't believe it may just have happened just when I was making my peace with stopping.... but it's so early I can't let myself feel excited yet (and will wait until AF doesn't turn up to tell DH). It feels unreal. LH tests are still negative, but for now there's no denying those lines....
