Starting a new thread because we got to 999 replies!

Congratulations @DoubleDandelion @rainycoldboo ❤️

Sending love to all those in limbo and sorry to those where like myself AF has arrived.

@HayleyD84 Welcome! I’m 41 too ☺️

Partner has semen test on Friday. AF is over so back in another month and another try.

@EmPeEf I'm sorry, this is so frustrating. I remember my cycle was quite long after the chemical and it shifted my ovulation date too. You might ov much later.

@ChaE05 I feel a bit better in myself having been seen. DP seems like he's the weight of the world on him so keeping a brave face. My temp went up this morning so hopefully that's a good sign. Two days early?! The absolute witch! Gets you onto the next cycle quicker so.

@YKM2829 Sorry about your experience. I think the doctor you get makes the difference. I never would have known to ask for progesterone if it weren't for this group. Though I'm in Ireland and had to pay for the privilege. First time getting a prescription here and it cost me 80 euro!

Congratulations x

I am in my fertile window and back to trying with DH, however finding it tricky with different schedules and energy levels. I’m trying to increase the frequency we are having sex as well to up our chances, so I’ve suggested maybe trying daily now until my period arrives. Is this a good idea do you think?

Thanks @Iris2024and @PeonyPatch- all the flower names!!

@PeonyPatch we did that for two cycles and it just became so mechanical. I'd try for every second day. Could always try day before and day of ovulation back to back to cover yourself. I think sperm need to be replenished too in between.

Yeah good thinking. I might head your advice!! Xx

@Iris2024 best of luck for this cycle 🤞🏻

@ForGiddyDreamer glad to hear that you're feeling better. If you don't have a medical card, apply for the Drug Payment Scheme. It means your prescriptions will be capped at €80 a month. I'm assuming progesterone and aspirin are covered under this scheme. But definitely check it out.

@PeonyPatch I'd echo what Giddy said. Every second day is plenty! And then increase around ovulation. We're the same with schedules. DP works shift now so it does make it trickier.

AF still hasn’t arrived and I was adamant it was here yesterday because of cramping but no? I’m so nervous to take a test and for once actually don’t want to test but i’m CD 37 now I last tested CD34? What would you ladies do if you were me aha I don’t know if it’s just me being a test addict 😬

@amey44 how many DPO are you? I can't remember if you track ovulation or not.

I got a positive opk on CD 16 however I obviously don’t think it’s possible to have ovulated then and not got a positive or af so I must’ve ovulated later

@amey44 did you continue to test or did you leave it? Maybe it was failed ovulation and your body tried again later.

No I didn’t think i’d ovulate later as I have ovd around CD12-15 for the past few months 🥲I did do a test CD 21 and it went back up to 0.7 but didn’t continue to test as I ran out and assumed it was too late anyway because I was staying with relatives so couldn’t bd

I didn’t bd between CD 19-24 so if I ovd then I don’t think I have a chance

@amey44 God, it's so confusing! Maybe give it another couple of days and if no AF by Friday do another test.

Hello all! Goodness this thread moves fast. Sorry, I’m behind again.

Congrats @rainycoldboo we’ll be due around the same time.

Welcome @HayleyD84, I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you don’t have to wait too long this time around 💕

Oh @Esssa I’m sorry it wasn’t your month 😔 hopefully you won’t be far behind us!

@ForGiddyDreamer Sorry to hear about the spotting. It’s so stressful. I remember bleeding a lot in the first trimester with my daughter. I sobbed on the way to the hospital but everything was fine. Keeping fingers crossed! So glad you’ve got the aspirin and progesterone. Sorry to hear about DP’s dad, too. How are you feeling?

@YKM2829 Urgh. I’m so sorry, it’s so frustrating that they couldn’t just give you the progesterone. Like… what harm would it have done??

@ChaE05 sorry about AF 😔 fingers crossed for the next cycle!

@Iris2024 Best of luck this cycle! Hope your DP’s test goes well on Friday.

@amey44 I’m sorry you’re stuck in limbo. To be honest, I would test… but I have zero chill. Do you have any cheapies?

@EmPeEf I hope ovulation doesn't keep you waiting too long! Must be frustrating when things get unpredictable.

I’m 13dpo today. Period was due Monday so feeling a little bit less nervous now. Going to drop into the doctors surgery today. They require a urine sample to confirm pregnancy and start intake… apparently they can’t just take my word and the 87 tests I’ve done since Saturday 🤪

And thank you, @SureLook - I have, indeed, continued to test! So nice to see a definitive line, finally.

@FarAwayBird lovely line on that test 🥰 how are you feeling?

I feel OK today. Have had work to distract me but have did some mad googling at the same time. I didn't do any tests today. I plan* to hold off till I get the results of both blood draws on Friday. I'm afraid to look in case they're lighter tbh. Have second draw tomorrow morning.

@ForGiddyDreamer Thank you! I’m feeling alright! Still kind of taking it in. So weird how something so planned can still be super surreal?

Well done for not testing. Waiting til Friday sounds like a good idea. I wish I could fast forward the next 36-48 hours for you! Hopefully this weekend will be for celebrating 🎉 💕

@FarAwayBird ah, that's a great line!

@ForGiddyDreamer well done for not testing. The bloods will give you a much more definite answer.

Thanks @FarAwayBird!! Congrats to you too

Hey beautiful ladies. I'm 8DPO today. Last night I had a really bad spell of dizziness, on and off for 3 hours. There was also a .4 dip in my BBT this morning. But I've never heard of dizziness as an implantation symptom. Just checking to see, in the off chance that any of you ever had that leading up to BFP?

Copious EWCM this morning on CD12, but OV tests are just getting lighter. Would you go by them, or by your body?

@EmPeEf I usually get ewcm in the days leading up to my peak, like 1-2 days before. But I know others are different. You might have to keep testing to catch it. Ewcm is a great sign though!

@Mash0917 I haven't had this but if I remember rightly, someone on this thread did mention dizziness. It might have been DorsetGirl - I don't want to tag her as she's taking a wee break from the thread.

Just had my second blood draw. Tuesdays (13/14dpo) was 72. I know one number doesn't count but as you can imagine I've been googling ranges 🙃🙈

@EmPeEffor me personally I always get EWCM about 5 days prior to ovulation. I also have very light tests and then a very sudden peak! I think to cover yourself I would just BD every other day! Xx

@ForGiddyDreameri mean that seems like a good number and I have everything crossed that this doubles! Have you had anymore spotting? How are you feeling xxx
