TTC for those taking longer than average

[Marie1990x]

@daniki @RRAEE @whatdoyouthink123456 @carolinep3

Went to reply on the other thread but it’s full!!!

@Daniki it's kind of just made me think I'm already out this cycle too 😅. To be honest I'm looking forward to next cycle when I don't have to worry about ttc since we can't. Will be a weight off for sure.

Eeeekkkkk that's such a good sign everything's as should be though. Did you have sickness with your son? Yeah get the toast down you and ginger biscuits!

@Marie1990x I can't really remember. When I was pregnant with him I went into hospital at 9 weeks, I was in an awful flare of my Crohn's and I was very sick and I remember they didn't know if the vomiting was pregnancy or Crohn's related 🤣 iv such a dramatic life! Haha I know it's weird I'm half reassured by the sickness 🙈 oh no defo not out don't be thinking like that! And sure no time now til your tubes get a wee flush out! 😆

I’ve been having fertility treatment and I take clomiphene citrate (Ovinum) on days 2-6 of my cycle. I went today for the ultrasound and to inject to start ovulation and my ultrasound showed 6 follicles, so the clinic has cancelled this cycle and told me not to TTC.

should I try anyway? Has anyone else had too many follicles and still tried?

I had two follicles the last few months and got nothing. So doesn’t this just increase my chances of getting at least one? The chances of 3+ must still be so so slim, right?
I don’t want to take health risks but I don’t want to waste a month either! ☹️

and while they said 6 large follicles, I’m not sure all should be classed as mature enough to be considered?

Average diameters (taken from 2 diameters)
L1 - 18.1
L2 - 16.2
L3 - 13.7
L4 - 9.8
R1 - 22.7
R2 - 14.7

@Lilly000 your doctors will defo cancel a cycle because of that, and I know if it was me I would try anyway 🤣 probably dangerous advice but it's such a hard bloody journey a cancelled cycle is infuriating!

@Daniki oh gosh you poor thing! What a time ey! Had your sickness eased throughout the day?

Yeah looking forward to a good flush 😂. Can tell I don't have much hope this time as I still haven't got any tests, usually I'd be stacked up by now 😅

@Marie1990x all the better to be more relaxed and hopefully you get a nice surprise! 🙌🏻 otherwise a good flush might be all you need 🤣 it's coming and going I can feel it there but it's not too bad thankfully

@Daniki oh good glad you're feeling better. Hopefully it's not too much of a rough ride sickness wise, just keep remembering it's all good signs 😊.

Haha yeah that would be nice. Hopefully my follow up consultation isn't ages after the procedure, it'll be getting close to a year since I started the process by the time I have it 😅

@Marie1990x I know it's awful to have these kind of things go on so long, for women we have a finite span of time like! But the person doing your procedure will be able to tell you how your tubes are so you have a fair idea which is good, you will be able to see it happening on the screen and just ask them questions 🤣

@Danikiyeah that’s why I’m in panic mode with not knowing how long I’ve got without expiring, unless I have already 😂.

Thats so weird being able to see it happening 😅.

how are you feeling today?

@Marie1990xhaha defo not expiring! It’s such a process tho isn’t it, that’s what really pisses my husband off. Feeling ok today still quite nauseas so keeping the snacks going! Then I’m off the next 4 days so that’s nice, scan in the morning and then paddy’s day on Monday, not that il be doing anything wild 😆

@Danikioh of course your scan tomorrow! That’s come round so quick! Bet it’s dragged for you but this week has flown! Let us know how it goes!

Nice you’ve got a few days off, don’t go too wild on the non alcoholic bevs for paddy’s day 😂😂.

my daughter has been poorly with a tummy bug and cold last few days and now I’m feeling uncomfortably bloated, so no doubt it’s going to catch up with me soon enough 😣😣

@Marie1990xoh god the poor thing I hope not norovirus? 😭 it seems to be going round everywhere, really hoping not to get it I got it twice off my son in the space of a few weeks last year and it was honestly horrendous had me floored! Strangely this week has actually gone really quick! My app is at 8am so thankfully won’t be hanging round half the day as that would put me over the edge 😆

@Danikithat was my first thought to be honest, but hoping it isn’t! She seems much better tonight, hopefully get a decent nights rest.

8am!!! Wow that is an amazingly early scan time 😂. So good that you don’t have to wait all day! Or even all morning 😂

@Marie1990xoh great I hope she got a good night sleep last night! Scan went well back to measuring ahead and strong heartbeat 💓 so I can relax now for another week or so il be back in 2 weeks 🥰

@Danikiyessss amazing amazing news!!!! Bet you’re relieved now and can relax a bit! Have they given you your EDD now??

I’ve just done an opk again, it was very low again tests and now increasing again, wtf is going on 😅. Of course I did it with a hcg (I wouldn’t normally but it was next to it in the box (caved and ordered some)). Obviously negative, wasn’t expecting anything, but it’s annoying me these OPK lines!

@Marie1990xomg wtf is that about?! How frustrating!! Maybe DTD just to be safe!? Wouldn’t it be great to take a tablet and you’re pregnant 🤣 no EDD yet she said they would see how I’m measuring at the next scan and update it then but I reckon it’s 22/23rd October! X

@Daniki I know right!!! That wasn’t even dried was just straight as it was developed. This is it dried 😣😣😣.

eeeee how exciting! I’m so happy everything is going as should, after everything it’s lovely to see some positive news 🤍

@Marie1990xi can see a line on that pregnancy test too now possibly an evap if you’re only what 4 dpo? But Jesus that’s a very strong opk I would take that as my peak or close to it! 🙈🙈🙈 I know im trying not to get too excited but very happy with it. Bar my son obviously the furthest iv got in pregnancy is 9 weeks so 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Daniki I’m 5 or 6dpo so definitely an evap, it is quite a bad one tbf can see it quite clearly in person. If I was a few dpo further I’d have been excited.

yeah sameeee, I’d expect my peak shortly after that so I’ll test again later. I don’t have any other symptoms of ovulation though, but will dtd anyway as you never bloody know.

I know a lot of people with PCOS say that OPK’s don’t work for them, but I’ve never had any issues with that before.

everything crossed its a successful one, definitely going in the right direction 🥰

@Marie1990xits so clear is there any colour to it? Defo get the boots tests and see in a few days..🙏 maybe your hyper ovulating which is rare but can happen 🤣🤞🏻

@Danikinah don’t think so, just seems like a typical (but more visible) evap. Won’t think too much of it.

I’m avoiding boots so I don’t get tempted to buy any 😂😂

@Daniki I think I’ve got some dodgy ass hcg’s, can you see that?? I’ve had a wine (my no alcohol week clearly didn’t last) and thought stuff it why not do one what’s the harm…..

It can’t be real because of how many dpo I am (if anyone else can even see it) but wtf is going on with these tests of mine 🤣. Also this was literally just after it developed so not tried in the slightest and no editing ffs

Sorry to bombard but I am freaking out. Trying to think logically and not get my hopes up as I know it’s basically impossible. Took this photo after the end of the time frame (again, no editing gone on), put it in the pregnancy checker app and never have I ever had their AI see it too, it’s the nastiest evap I’ve ever had!

@Marie1990xomg! Just seeing all these now, I can see that clear as day! Looks to be colour too?? Please get the boots early response tomorrow, I need to know!(can only imagine how you feel lol)

@Daniki I am spiralling and googling. My husband keeps asking why I’m on my phone so much but obviously haven’t told him 🤣.

I think it must be an evap? This is it dried now. It’s weird how it was there when dried this morning and now darker?

If I’d have taken this at 8DPO, or even 7, I’d definitely have said it was the beginning of a BFP. But with it being soooo early, surely it can’t be?

honestly never had one like it. My evaps in the past have been either in the wrong place, or super thin. This is cruelllll!!!!

I’m too scared to get a boots one 😩😩😩
