TTC for those taking longer than average

[Marie1990x]

@daniki @RRAEE @whatdoyouthink123456 @carolinep3

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

@Daniki haha yes might as well buy a digital while you’re at it 😂. Can’t help ourselves!

I’m absolutely ravenous today and can’t stop eating 😅. Normal for me in the tww though so nothing new.

Have you had any symptoms other than obviously the BFP’s 😊

@Marie1990x not really I had a bad migraine the day I tested which made me test! But other than that not really cramps here and there and the odd sore boob! But progesterone and estrogen aswell so could be that. What about the brown cm any more instances?

@Daniki did you have similar in your previous pregnancies?

It’s still a bit browny but don’t think as much. Google says it can happen after ovulation. Maybe I’ve always had it and just never noticed it.
Boobs are still in bits and now my nips too 😂

@Marie1990x ooh I'm really hoping this is all positive steps for you!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I think I did the last time but I'm incredibly prone to migraines anyway I always get them prior and after period and also I got a severe one the day I had the miscarriage in October so hopefully not ominous 🥲 but I did get one around 4dp on that transfer too!

@Daniki ahh thanks, I’ve lost all hope again. Don’t know why.

Urgh feel for you with the migraines. Really really hoping it’s still progressing nicely for you. Ttc is just awful isn’t it, even after that BFP!

@Marie1990x thank you!! I’m 11dpo I think/hope - it’s very frustrating having PCOS as you probably know but yes glad the metformin is finally doing something! It’s reassuring what you’ve said about LH too :) I was sick again this morning which is so weird, but still negative tests and the gp has said to contact the fertility team so sorting that out

hope you’re well!

@Marie1990x I feel it's easier to be in that negative mind space to protect your feelings and because it's gone on so long but defo don't give up hope! 🤞🏻iv got no tests left now, I think I'm going leave it and test again Thursday eve as I'll defo be in town then tk get some more and hoping the break relaxes me a bit 🤣

@Keirii94 ahh that’s so annoying that you’re having sickness but bfn’s! Have the fertility team been helpful?
Yeah PCOS is just the most frustrating thing, can definitely sympathise with you on that one.

Will you keep testing until AF shows?

@Daniki yeah I think it is to do with protecting myself. Was so positive around ovulation but negativity is definitely seeping in.

At least if you haven’t got any in then you can’t be tempted to test.
Had you husband sussed you out yet with testing 🤣?

@Marie1990x he hasn't said anything but he prob knows rightly but isn't asking as he keeping his hopes up too 😂🫣 well I hope you prove yourself wrong this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Daniki ahh bless him! He does right keeping it to himself, knows better than to question a pregnant lady (even if he doesn’t know this yet 😂).

Time will tell. You’d think after so long I’d be used to it and not get my hopes up 😂.

I think next month we have to refrain from ttc so it doesn’t mess with the hycosy

It's in April is it? Were you given a date? Haha he's the same in he doesn't like to get his hopes up either been dashed too many times now at this stage 🙈 just hate how it's so hard for us when women get pregnant so easily elsewhere 😓

@Daniki what a div I counted this month as March, so yes I can do the next cycle 🤣. Yeah it’s the 10th April. I’m a bit skeptical as it says to have it the first part of your cycle before ovulation, if my apps are right I’d have literally just ovulated a few days before, or even could be around then as my cycles differ by a few days month to month. The lady who booked it said as long as I’m not on then it’s fine, she never mentioned ovulation it’s just from what I read in my referral letter afterwards.

Oh completely understand how neither of you want to get your hopes up after everything. It’s fucking gut wrenching.

oh god don’t even get my started with how easy it is for others and the frustration of it. Honestly it boils my pee. Rationally I know it’s not their fault, but it’s not our fault either.

i had a mini breakdown last cycle to my husband saying wtf am I doing wrong? I eat healthily, exercise, don’t excessively drink or smoke but nope 😅. It’s getting me wound up now just typing this 😂😂

@Marie1990x I know that's the unjustness of it all! Reading a story earlier about a woman who found out she was 17 weeks pregnant after a weekend on the booze and coke, I was just raging reading it 🤣🙈 yea I think I remember from fine it's usually done around days 2-12 or so? Cuz I was rightly done on mine aswell I thought it affect it but was fine! Xx

@Daniki jeez! It just seems so unfair doesn’t it. Stories like that just rub me up the wrong way.

From what I’ve read it says it’s because it will flush out any egg etc that’s present, but if we’re avoiding it then anyway I’m sure it’ll be fine. That would give them around 2 weeks to book my follow up and get my prescription before AF so I can start the meds asap 😂

@Marie1990x supposed to be great for flushing out everything from the tubes, my doc said a lot of women fell pregnant after it alone 🤞🏻

@Marie1990x so annoying!! The fertility team haven’t been as helpful as I was hoping so far - just felt a bit disjointed - one minute they want to do a hycosy before meds then the next they want to do an ultrasound then appointment then discuss hycosy again so I feel a bit lost with it all!! I’ll test again end of the week if AF doesn’t arrive!

I’ve seen some of your posts after - hope everything goes well for you! And I totally get the frustration of other people getting pregnant so easily, it’s very difficult when half the time they’re not even trying and I’m like I just want one chance please!

@Daniki yeahhh I’ve heard similar. I don’t know anyone personally that’s had one though so don’t have much info on it first hand. We’ll see anyway. I actually psychotically worked out that if we conceived in that April cycle it would be a Xmas day date according to apps, so I’d like to avoid that anyway 🤣 not that I can be picky in my situation

@Keirii94 what have they done so far, just bloods? I think it’s normal to do a scan before? That’s pretty much how mine went, bloods, ultrasound, more bloods, fertility consultation, more bloods and swabs/cervix check, hycosy (coming up), then second consultation then finally medication 😅 it’s not a quick process is it, annoyingly. I started the process in august, so by the time I’ve had my hycosy it’ll have been 8 months 😣.

Hopefully you get a BFP and not AF! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yepppp some people are just fortunate aren’t they while we’re stuck in this shitty situation 🙃

@Marie1990x aw haha I would love a Christmas baby! My friend was due Christmas Day but went over anyway 🤗 chances of it falling that is minuscule!

@Daniki haha yeahhhh I know. My daughter’s birthday is 2 weeks before Christmas and that’s close enough 🤣. It will be off the cards for us anyway with this procedure.

How you feeling today? Ofc I tested again, and ofc bfn

@Marie1990x oh no way! One Christmas baby is enough 🤣 still early so still a chance 🤞🏻feeling ok, still haven't tested again as no tests but I am dying to 🤣

@Daniki haha absolutely! My brother and my brother in law’a birthday are December too so it’s a very busy month 🤣.

Oh I bet you are! You’ve been really strong not going out for more. But tbf there’s no denying it’s a BFP and testing all the time will drive you mad too won’t it.

I don’t think I’ll get easy@home again. These indents something else. Turned it to b&w to check it clearer and they’re soooo bad. It’s not in the right place, otherwise I’d have thought it could be real. Never had any issues with them before so guessing I’ve got a bad batch

@Marie1990x that's fairly bad! I used to use the one step ones and they were getting so bad for indents and not getting darker etc, and premom ones were as bad! Just been sticking to the aul reliable boots ones they never usually steer ya wrong 🫣

@Daniki yeah I’ve heard one step are bad for them. I used to use wondfo and they were shocking too. Guess I can’t complain too much because they’re cheap 😂. My testing addiction couldn’t afford so many boots and Frer’s 😂. I have a couple boots one I’ll save for later this week

@Marie1990x haha I know they're so expensive! Iv to run to town now later so I'm defo going to end up buying them 🫣 one step used to be great when i was pregnant with my son but they turned shit in the last year or two! Not great for us addicts 😂
