Anyone else just starting their journey ?

[TTC73]

DH is going for his sperm sample to be tested today and hes so nervous and the GP wants me to have some blood tests done and swabs at a later date. So nervous of what to expect and terrified of the possibility of IVF I've heard its so painful ?
We've been trying to have a baby for over 3yrs with 2 chemical pregnancies so far

@LillyLeaf shit no i was messin bout with it to c if i had a rise the nxt few days what the pregnancy monitor would say on ff lol here it is 13dpo

@LillyLeaf i tested this morning bfn but ive never had a temp rise this late on im probably coming down with a bug or somethin knowin my luck lol fx for u too hun the tww and symptom spottin is a nightmare why dnt we ever learn?!

@thisisouryrfx18 I wonder if there is some hormones in the 2ww that gives us hope/makes us crazy. The topic of googling tonight is 'AF cramps then BFP', I need to get a grip.

@LillyLeaf there has to b or we re just nuts😂 i was googling nesting as an early pregnancy sign since ive been decluttering my house all day lol..desperation eh?

@thisisouryrfx18 😂😂😂 I've never of that one, I'll add it to my 2ww googling list.

@LillyLeaf 😂doesnt help that no matter what u google ul find someone just as desperate swearing its happened to them! I need to keep busy before i go actually insane lol

@thisisouryrfx18 how are your temps looking today? I was having crazy dreams last night and was woken up a few times with mild cramps so I'm not sure today's temp is accurate. It's started to dip but still high. I really hope I at least have a 10 luteal phase as last month is was only 8 (not that any of that matters with IVF next).

@LillyLeaf im beyond annoyed this morning i used a cheapy test and it was void so now ive wasted my fmu on it!

@thisisouryrfx18 oh no, that's so annoying. Be strong, you can hold out until tomorrow, then pee in a pot just in case

@LillyLeaf thanx hun i feel like screaming or crying or both! We have to stop trying after this cycle for bout 2mnths they said to use protection cause of the hycosy..think its incase u get ur appt during the tww then ud have to wait another 3mnths on a new appt. I think thats why im getting soo worked up this cycle. Ur charts still looking gd hun lets keep our fx for a bloody miracle for us both xxx

@LillyLeaf well i think its safe to say im out bfn again this morning and a temp drop im soo sic of it all! Hope ur gettin on better hun x

@thisisouryrfx18 I'm so sorry, it's so bad when you know you can't try for a while. No change in temps today but more cramps that are more than mild. AF is due tomorrow or Tuesday, I'm really not hopeful.

@LillyLeaf its soo depressing i had a little of blood when i peed 2mins ago aaagghh

@LillyLeaf afs here with vengance! Cant even console myself with a drink tonite its not what i want, i want my bfp! How r u gettin on?

@thisisouryrfx18 it totally sucks. It's so cruel to know the cycle hasn't worked then have to deal with AF pain, look after yourself, it's fine to feel like shit. I had to stop temps as I'm on a work trip in a different time zone so they won't be accurate. Still getting cramps. That's 8 days of cramps, surly that's not normal. I keep proding my boobs to see if they are sore and I'm now making them sore. I've got a horrible feeling AF will come during the night when I'm trying to sleep through jetlag. So is your next step the HyCoSy? I saw your other thread, I can't image how hard ttc for 3 years would be.

@LillyLeaf what one ive started loads of threads on here 😂lol i just need to vent majorly on here sometimes! Ive decided im going on a strict diet bugger it i need something else to focus on before i go bloody insane. Ttc for3yrs is nothing short of mental torture tbh and id feel better if there was light at the end of the tunnel but for me its ivf and potentially waiting a yr is depressing me really bad. Ive got my fx for u hun sorry but im not being pc all of us deserve it more on here the stress we go through x

Hi both/all. Sorry that AF is visiting all round... me too, today :(
Why would your bbt be wrong in a different time zone? surely you still sleep (if not at the same time as normal) and your body will still be doing what it does normally to set the bbt... so they might be a little bit offset to usual but would still be valid information?

@SpringLake soo sorry hun wish there was something i could say to cheer us all up x

It's 7 hours time difference so I'll be waking up a lot during the night and probably will be awake very early. Last time I tried it the temps were all over especially when I was awake for hours at 5am.

@LillyLeaf ah, ok, so not sleeping properly... sounds rubbish... so I hope it's a great place and you can enjoy the visit.
@thisisouryrfx thanks, chocolate helps! hope you can treat yourself tonight.

@SpringLake im on a diet think al treat myself to a wine tho lol

If im gonna b a barren woman may aswell b a skinny 1..sorry my humour is soo warped lol

You're not wrong though. We all need something to be proud of ourselves for. Go for it. Hey, even make it a hobby and give lots of time to trying new recipes and techniques (just keep portions down and you'll be sailing!).
Right now, it would be great to have something positive to focus on too, but I'm not done with being self-deprecating yet! Enjoying it too much ;)

@SpringLake thats what im tryin to do ive made my dinner from scratch and im upping my gym game lol

Well day two of diet and its goin well soo far! I havent caved into choc or cakes yet and im suprisingly not craving them😕 looking forward to weighing myself at the wkend anyone want to join me? Look at it as a health kick to help with ttc thats what im doing x
