2024 is the year for my bfp I feel it, anyone else??

@hopingforapeainapod urgh, so sorry! That's great you have an appt with another doctor, I'll see if I spot early this month too. Is this via the gp? I'm surprised you can't go through nhs you know, unexplained or not surely they should be investigating/helping with meds!?

This is the last cycle before our fertility appointment next month. BD Wednesday, going for tonight, tomorrow and Sunday although might have to skip tomorrows 😂

Thanks @riverlodge90 , that might be why. Will just have to wait and see now, off on holiday in a couple of weeks, so can relax for a bit and not think about it!!

@Wictc ohh enjoy! A well earned break from TTC I'm sure!

@Angelselevenx haha how funny, I got my £50 voucher and spent it in H&M but since then have defo spent over the £50 on their bloody sticks so they've won either way. Although did convince myself I would conceive that cycle, obviously not haha.
Have you got solid smileys today?

I've had big increase in temp so confirmed for Thursday as ovulation day cd17😀

@riverlodge90 hahah that's funny, I'm going to dig out my voucher and make sure I spent that!

I haven't been using the digital opk this month, just the normal strip tests. Normally have a two day peak but only had yesterday and it's dropped down today so I think I either Od over night last night or due to O tonight/tomorrow. One more Bd to go 😂

Great news so you're 2dpo today?

God what a cycle. Had a positive OPK CD18, dropped down CD19 so I expected O happened CD19. Took my temp CD20 and today, CD21 they're post O temps but low (cover line is 0.41 and they're 0.48 & 0.46). Thought I'd take another OPK and it's practically positive. What is going on, why does this happen the 1 month before the fertility appointment 😅😭 who knows if I've even Od or if I need to keep BD!

Panic over, LH tests are very negative. Maybe just some leftover LH in my system overnight, who knows 😆

@Angelselevenx

Oh my goodness! Have your temps evened out? What does your chart look like?

Months like that stress me out no end, I had one in October so understand the strain. Just want confirmation that you've done all you need to do!

How's the fertility referral going? I've had Drs app and she wants sperm test first but the wait is 8 months in our area so we're going private. Did you get an app quickly following referral?

@riverlodge90 so annoying haha tests are very negative now (or were earlier, I'll do another before bed). My charts rubbish as I only temped the last two days so my pre O temps could've been lower this month but I don't know as I haven't been temping. I'll keep temping and see what happens.

I've got my appointment in feb for the referral, my OH had his SA done last October. Our local hospital does a sperm analysis service, have you checked if you can do that or is that the 8 month wait!?

Yeah, well they told me it would be 500+ days but I got referred in August and it's in Feb so not that much of a wait

@Angelselevenx Awh thats good news then! Sometimes bodies just do weird things, mostly when we want them to be completely normal haha

Yeah it's the SA that's the 8 month wait, my OH has agreed to have it done if we're not successful this month, which I doubt we will be so I rang a clinic and they can do it within 3 days for £190 which isn't too bad. Worth that then waiting 8 months!

500+ Days?! That's horrendous so that they haven't made you wait that long. I feel like everything TTC is waiting, it's just one long queue 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyone interested in sperm analysis should check out the exseed tests

Big 3DPO dip today, OPK are so low as well as I thought maybe I was going to O again but god knows what's going on! I've had 3DPO dips before but not this much of one!

Ohhh are they comparable to clinic results?

AF is due today for me but no sign and no symptoms to feel like it's coming yet. Usually bang on - but I had a BFN at 10DPO so I think AF is just playing little tricks x

@ElleBelleLou how're you getting on?

@Angelselevenx AF arrived yesterday and with a vengeance - been in bed all day today with the worst cramps and backache!

Excited to try sperm meets egg plan next cycle x

Well don't really know where I'm at! AF arrived late and with an absolute vengeance on Wednesday night - up all night with how heavy it was, stayed in bed all day Thursday because I was dizzy with the blood loss and cramps, then nothing at all since Thursday night - it's just disappeared?!

That's nothing like my usual cycle, normally I am at least 5 days of steady bleeding and pretty consistent symptoms throughout those 5 days.

Has anyone experienced a different AF like that? Wondering if it's gonna throw my timings out with ovulation for the next cycle.

@riverlodge90 it doesn't do morphology but it does do count and motility. My partners count was down to zero due to trt but we've watched it creep up and it's recently jumped into normal range with 18million and 48% motility. I do actually think the Wellman conception supplements helped with this a bit too

Good to know wellman conception tablets helped your partners.

My OH has 62% motility, 78million sperm count but 3% morphology which the doctor said was normal and I guess because of the high sperm count it's still a good number. He's since started taking the wellman vitamins, trying to boost his morphology slightly

Below message was back to @Teela86 ! Sorry 😆

Good luck to all xx

@Angelselevenx @Teela86

We've booked a standard clinic one for mid feb, feel like we're idiots and would somehow mess the test up haha

Interesting! Mine also takes the well man conception tables, has done for about a month and a half so we shall see if they make a difference.

However current battle is him not using his cars heated seats 🫠🫠

@riverlodge90 ooh never thought about heated seats!

Af has arrived right on schedule. Going to be a tough month coming up with both my due dates that never were, feels so much harder being no closer to being a mum 😞

BFN at 10dpo for me, AF due in the next couple of days so I think I'm out this month. At least we have the fertility referral next month so that's one thing!

@moosey89 @Angelselevenx

awh hope you guys are doing okay. This time of the cycle is always hard but like you said Angel, onto the next thing!

I don't test anymore, too upsetting. I'm due on tonight and just had 0.7 temp drop so AF is on her way. But have paid for sperm test so least we've not wasted that money.

You guys going to try anything new this month?

February is our month🤞🏼🤞🏼
