Oh yes it's PMS isn't it! Think I was confusing it with GMT 🤣

That's strange, @VanessaShanessaJenkins99 I guess you just have to wait and see what happens, but that's really frustrating.

SureLook · 20/09/2025 12:41

Have you tested again today? That is very annoying!

@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 why is it that when you're TTC your cycle decides to go haywire??

Stress 🤣🤣 it's such a bloody roller coster!

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 21/09/2025 07:04

Well AF is here in full flow ! Least that draws a line under this cycle !

GrizzlyTheBear · 21/09/2025 13:17

Oh bummer. At least you know where you are now. How many cycles since you conceived your MC?

SureLook · 21/09/2025 17:53

Sorry @VanessaShanessaJenkins99 there's always still that little bit of hope until AF arrives, isn't there?x

Yeah always in the back of your mind your thinking that there is a possibility.

So I conceived on cycle 2 and then this was my 3rd cycle since.

GrizzlyTheBear · 22/09/2025 08:24

Ah okay, that's actually really promising then. Three cycles is nothing to worry about. If you are in prime physical condition with no fertility or health issues, you still only have around a 25% chance each cycle. For those of us who are less healthy or who have fertility issues, it may be less. So I wouldn't worry that not conceiving in three cycles means you're not fertile or anything - it's probably just the luck of the draw.
Take care of yourself the next few days xx

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 22/09/2025 12:47

I was so emotional over the weekend ! I do have PCOS but take inositol and that has been amazing at making my cycles regular - i think my age is the thing that is worrying me the most - the chances are something like 1-3% each cycle - which is so low!

GrizzlyTheBear · 22/09/2025 12:57

I hear you, but I'd take heart in the fact that you've conceived recently. Everything does still work!

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 22/09/2025 13:19

Yeah good point - the Doctor did say the fact that i had my son on cycle 2 when i was 39 was a good sign that things were still on the better side.

SureLook · 23/09/2025 12:23

Sorry, girls. I'm in Salou at the moment for a little holiday. I do think it's a great sign @VanessaShanessaJenkins99 how quickly you have conceived in the past. As Grizzly said, I think it was just the luck of the draw x

Oooo sounds lovely! How are you feeling?

SureLook · 24/09/2025 21:13

We're having a great time 😊 it's been a nice distraction. I'm not really feeling nauseous anymore but still have my other symptoms. But it's hard to know if that's coming from the progesterone or not. I've my NIPT on Tuesday so let's see 🤞🏻

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 08/10/2025 09:04

Hi :) - How are you all? I got a positive Ovulation test Sunday! We had sex Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and last night! So i am now in the dreaded 2 week wait!

SureLook · 08/10/2025 10:30

Oh my god, girls. I completely forgot to message in here! We had our NIPT test last week at 10+1. We have a live and kicking baby. Measuring exact and wriggling around. The relief ❤️ just waiting on the results now and we're finding out the gender!

At least we avoided Christmas babies!

@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 you definitely have it covered with all that sex. Well done you! I've everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

GrizzlyTheBear · 08/10/2025 11:11

Oh wow that's fabulous @SureLook ! I'm delighted for you ❤️ When do you get NIPT results back?
@VanessaShanessaJenkins99 good luck! At least you don't have to do anything during the TWW. Just chill and wait and see 😁

SureLook · 08/10/2025 11:19

@GrizzlyTheBear thank you so much ❤️ they said within 14 days which would be next Tuesday. Which is also my 12 week scan. I'd love to have them back by the end of the week, just so I don't have to wait all weekend. I'm also off work today so today would be ideal!
How are you getting on? What stage are you at now?

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 08/10/2025 11:24

@SureLook oh yeah that would be great, then you can relax a bit.
I'm about to ovulate and we still haven't decided what we're doing 🤣

SureLook · 08/10/2025 16:37

@GrizzlyTheBear nothing yet 😭 what's your gut telling you? What's DH leaning towards?
