New Thread❤️

Was your progesterone quite low? I think at 6dpo mine was 29.9 and the GP said 30 is usually boarder line I believe. I’m torn between doing this first as it’s cheaper but worried they will ask me to test progesterone again and then that’s the cost of 2 consultations, also worried they won’t prescribe it x

@Ttcaftertfmr my MMC baby's due date is approaching also. I should have been heavily pregnant now and I think that's been more and more on my mind lately. Hopefully going back to work will be a bit of a distraction. Sending hugs ❤️

I everyone 🤍 I hope it’s ok to join…This is my 3rd cycle trying to conceive our 2nd and oh I have not missed these two week waits 🙃

It consumes me and I can’t think of anything else. My partner isn’t even here at the moment, he’s away with work so I don’t have anyone to talk to about it.

I did take a test today at 10dpo and I do think I can see a slight line but I don’t know if that’s just me imagining it, and it’s so faint it’s hardly picking up on camera.

I felt like I had a few symptoms since 6dpo but again, now is it all just in my head / typical period symptoms I usually get.

Is anyone else at a similar stage and driving themselves crazy?! 😅

I have my fingers crossed for you all :)

Hi, I'm on about Day 12. 2nd cycle for our 2nd too. BBT has been raised but it was really low this morning so feeling a bit pessimistic now 🙁

All a bit new to me as my DS was conceived about 2 weeks after I came off the pill having not had a period!

Welcome @Amyc94 will you test again tomorrow or in a couple of days?

Yes I think 30 is borderline. Mine were between 25-32 (I’d tested 3x privately with Superdrug). Both the fertility doctor and my acupuncturist said it’s on the low side and worth trying to supplement progesterone x

Welcome @Amyc94 there's a fair few of us around the 5-9dpo mark still to test and several others about your stage had been testing this morning but unfortunately no BFP yet. Still time for all 🤞 So you're in good company! I either ov Fri or Sat (inclined to think Fri) so could be 7dpo tomorrow. I aim to hold off testing to Tuesday if I can.

I’m so sorry. Are you having any treatment to help extend the length of your luteal phase?

Just catching up on everything! Sorry to hear about some BPNs … it’s so disheartening!
@Ec2808 I think I’m also either O day today or tomorrow, had my usual O pains this afternoon. Think it comes a half day or day before actual ovulation though?
how you feeling this month? I’m not sure about mine as feel we haven’t managed to DTD enough this cycle because of this hot weather!

I’m sorry to everyone who’s feeling down in the dumps today! @Iris2024 I hope it happens for you soon!

That is so hard @Taysonic. I wish they’d given you more useful information. I hope tomorrow is better x

@LookForTheLiight I’m the same. I worry I’m wasting energy when I should be enjoying the amazing kiddo I already have… maybe I should set a time limit on TTC. But I also just want it to happen so much!

I’m either 7 or 8 dpo today. I’m trying to think about other things but I’m literally obsessed at this point. I’m having cramps and convinced they’re early AF but we’ll see.

@GreenApple121 how are you doing? for the moment still in a happy & calm state here but only 1DPO soo all I can do is pray this is our month.
We dtd entire fertile window because I wanted to maximize our chances this month...I'm almost certain O day was yesterday had cramps twinges that started late on CD14 then twinges yesterday again my cm yesterday was watery and no longer ewcm in the evening it turned more creamy this morning my wrist temp went up so will see the next two days to confirm...😂
let's go for another crazy TWW😅

@Iris2024 and @ForGiddyDreamer my mood has been exactly the same, DH said why am I so snappy and short tempered. I don't mean to be but can't seem to help it. 7dpo (I think), AF due Monday but we go on hol Sunday and DH birthday on Tuesday. Had a tiny spot yesterday when I went to the toilet 🤞🏼

@ThisHangryTigerjust behind you at 6dpo! The moodiness is real isn't it. Hope you have a lovely holiday. Do you think you will test before? What cycle is this for you xx

8dpo today - tested this morning but expected it to be bfn as early. The two BFPs I’ve had before were on 9 and 10 DPO. Away with only two tests so will do the other tomorrow and then have to wait until home!

@ChaE05 thank you. I think I'll try to hold out until Monday, if it's a BFN I still can't have a drink until I know AF is here so thinking just to wait. This is no. 8. At 6 i had a CP and then 7 I'm positive I implanted and then AF. You?

Yes number 8 for us too. Miscarriage cycle 3 and then a chemical cycle 4. Nothing since x

Morning ladies, hope you are all feeling a little less fed up?
My temp dropped right down this morning so expecting AF today or tomorrow, just wish it would arrive now as i've got 21 day bloods booked this cycle so could do without having to rearrange them

Sorry this was meant for you @ThisHangryTiger

I caved today too, at 8DPO. Also, looking negative. Think it was the same last cycle, and I tested very faintly positive at 9DPO with my chemical.

@ThisHangryTiger hopefully that spot was a little implantation sign 🤞 I have nothing but luteal symptoms: moods, trouble sleeping, more moods. AF due Thursday for me. Great that you hsve a hol as a nice distraction!

@LookForTheLiight I sometimes get spotting before period too. Got cramping starting today and feel sicky. I’m 12DPO. AF is due today or tomorrow. Hormones got alot to answer for don’t they as they make you feel pregnant 😩🤣 Sending you baby dust and hope we get our BFPs soon.

@ChaE05 It’s okay lovely, there is so many of us and this thread moves sooooo fast 🤣 this was cycle 4. We did try for 6 months January 2024 but stopped as a holiday to Greece this month so didn’t want to be heavily pregnant or a newborn. I didn’t want to stop 😩 So I’m about to have AF for cycle 4 but overall probably 10 cycles.

@daisy2025 Im so sorry AF has shown up. How long have you been trying?

@Juls121 Also sorry AF has shown up 😢 mine is due today or tomorrow.

@Taysonic Please update us with how the hospital goes today. What time is your appointment?

Welcome @Amyc94 ❤️ When are you going to test again? I shift between convinced I’m out to believing I’m pregnant and it can happen to feeling low and no hope again 🤣

I had negative at 10 and 11DPO yesterday. I feel crampy today and sicky. I know I’m out so why do I want to put myself through doing another test today at 12DPO just to see white staring back at me 😩😢

Morning ladies. Absolutely terrified for this afternoon's scan. It's highly likely to be bad news, and although I'm holding on to a tiny little bit of hope, it doesn't feel very likely and feels a bit foolish to be honest. Really having to prepare myself for a whole range of options, neither of which are good.

It'll either be:

1. complications from previous miscarriage with retained products of conception that have been sitting there for 3 months which can cause a small hcg rise
2. possible retained products of conception from a new pregnancy
3. risk of ectopic pregnancy? Although, they doesn't explain the 'irregular heterogenous' area.

I'm holding on to a very small hope that the irregular area is a very early pregnancy that just hasn't developed yet and my dates are out. I have always thought I'm potentially not as far along as my LMP suggested but who knows?

I'm going to take my stash of pregnancy tests with me that are clearly dated and show progression of hcg...

Thank you, I read a lot of tips and advice on Mumsnet and have been doing acupuncture for 2 cycles. Also tried b6, then b complex, then started b6 p5p cycle just gone as read that’s the better absorbed one!
Been on so many vitamins for a while now (c, d, e, b6, zinc, magnesium, coq10, omega 3, folic acid).
My prolactin levels are not high so vitex would probably make things worse.

I’m pretty sure I have a hormonal imbalance as I feel it in myself (puffy, bloated, tired all the time etc) and I’m also a big stress head and worrier in general which isn’t ideal!

DH had low numbers on his SA test but has managed to turn them around taking vitamins, so I’m feeling bad that nothing is working for lengthening my luteal phase 🙁
