@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF thinking of you!

@2fingers22018 sorry things are hard hun. Hope a good nights sleep has helped a bit xx

@veeboo ooh have a lovely time! Feels a real treat getting your hair done doesn't it!

@CloudSway missed your post yesterday! Have the best time! We LOVED NYC ❤️❤️❤️

@GreyC all the best for speaking to the clinic on wed. Hope they can give some insight as it seems really odd.

How are you girls? @VenusStarr @Kelly199

I'm nervous about my occy health appointment next week but hopefully it'll help me to talk about things.

Yeah, I'm in the tww. I'm on cycle day 30 so should know one way or another over the next few days.

Hope you all have a happy Friday.

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF gd luck for ur scan keep us updated💗 @veeboo enjoy ur hen do @CloudsSway i dunno why i didnt c ur post either have fun im soo jealous lol @squirrelnutkins1 i really hope it helps u hun x everyone else having a gd start to the weekend?

Sorry @CloudSway I missed your post too! Hope you're enjoying NYC!! There was loads of advice in there. Mainly following a Mediterranean style diet but some good tips. I will post some stuff next week when I get back from the hen. The thing I remember off the top of my head was walnuts for good sperm!! Xx

@squirrelnutkins thanks! Fingers crossed for you xx

So good news lining is thin and I can start the tablets have had to delay that for a few days as the next scan day would of been next Friday but I can’t do that day so told me to start the tablets on Monday next scan is 11th and if all good then transfer will be the 17th June

Ooooh sooo exciting!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF nice to have some good news! Xx

@GreyC perhaps it was just because it was a hot day? If he's taking vitamins, that should improve things anyway (so I've read from others), so perhaps just ask for a repeat sa just to see? Xx

@CloudSway hope you enjoyed your food tour lol. I think I could do with one of those 🤣 Hope you're having a lovely time, I'd love to go!! xx

@squirrelnutkins1 great news on your Occ Health! Really hope it will help you by being able to talk to someone about things. Glad it's coming up soon for you. Hope you're ok.
I'm ok thank you. Wishing you luck 🤞🏼🤞🏼 are you just going to wait until af due date? How long are your cycles usually? xx

@2fingers22018 hope you're feeling ok. It's better to let it out! Sending hugs ❤️ xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF sending hugs, hope you're ok ❤️ Hope the scan goes ok today. Let us know xx
Just read your most recent post! Great news. Hope you feel a bit better now knowing a date!!! Really hope everything goes well and you have positive news!! Good luck ❤️🤞🏼🙏🏼 xx

@veeboo hope you have a good time in hen, be good to let your hair down and try and relax and enjoy.

Have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼
I've got to the point of trying not to test until close to my af due date now too as was so sick of the continuous bfn.
Good luck for this month 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

Hope everyone else is ok and you all have a lovely day xx

@Kelly199 thanks 😘 I totally get why other people do it, but for me I don't believe in early testing, so if I've not come on by maybe thurs I'll test. My cycles vary and obv with the mc it's been a bit hard to track but my last few months have been 32,30,28,28 so on day 30 now and no symptoms either way! Have a really happy Friday lovely xxx

@squirrelnutkins1 definitely think that's the best thing to do! I'm going to try and do that this month too to avoid disappointment. I think I'll only test a few days earlier if I feel different than normal.
I know, of course. I really hope you have good news. You so deserve it. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 thank you. Hope you do too 😘❤️ xxx

Week @finallytakingtheplungewith ivf that's so exciting!! Dont know if it is your thing but I heard about an app mindful ivf which you might like if you want to try and keep calm (if that's possible!).

Thanks @kelly199 hope you're doing okay in a new cycle. I'm not testing this time, sick of seeing a single line. I might test if late which would be Friday/Sat so similar time to you @squirrelnutkins1. Fx!

That was supposed to say eeek! Not week!

Ooo ladies some good news!!
@finallytakingtheplungewithivf - fingerscrossed for you so tightly and @squirrelnutkins!!

I’m like you@veeboo I only test if I’m late which has been once! I can’t bare to see the white either

@veeboo good luck to you too! I completely get why! I try to, but sometimes it bothers me more not doing one! I'm going to try and hold off this month though as I too am sick of the disappointment.
I'm ok thank you. Last clomid tablet tonight then will have to get busy every other day lol xx

Thanks girls @Kelly199 @veeboo @GreyC here's hoping for us all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Added a photo - top one is yesterday and Bottom is today.
My app says I will ovulate today. Do you think it will be more likely tomorrow considering today’s result.
Makes me feel better to be doing something than nothing haha

I'd say that's positive now. Think you usually ovulate 12-36 hours after the surge so could be today or tomorrow @GreyC

@GreyC Bottom one definitely positive, so as @veeboo said, 12-36 hours after the surge first started! Good luck xx

Thanks; makes me feel better to be doing something even if they aren’t sure what’s going on with me or DP 🙈

@GreyC definitely! Just try. I would because you know you've done everything you can. Fingers crossed for you🤞🏼 xx

@GreyC woohoo looks positive to me im just bout to poas for ovulation wish me luck haha @veeboo @squireelnutkins1 gd luck luvelies i went to my docs appt today got the paperwork filled out but the nurse was off sick so couldnt get me sexual health tests done think im just gonna get them done at the hospital i was just thinking if i get them done a mnth before they could say they need to retest anyway, plus i need to go to fill out consent forms. My doctor was soo bloody rude today didnt ask how long we d been ttc how we were coping just looked like she cba!

Thanks @2fingers! Have fun 😂 just done another and it’s super positive still.

What vitamins if any do you guys take and any good books you’d recommend?

Thanks everyone just want to get to Monday now! Am a big sweaty mess to day had a night sweat last night and feel like I am constantly having a hot flush right now!!!

@greyc looks like a positive to me! We take pregnacare his and hers, books are it starts with an egg and ice all read I think it’s call a his and hers survival guide to Ivf which was an interesting read

@finallytakingtheplungewithivf eeeeeek that's so exciting (The transfer date, not the night sweats) I'm so pleased for you, not long to go just hold on, we are all rooting for you!!!

@2fingers22018 good news too, you are going in the right direction. Sorry you've felt crap last few days. Hope you don't mind me asking, have you thought about letting another dog in your life? I know it won't be the same, but if you're a dog person I think you always feel better with a bit of doggy contact, even walking someone else's? It's a good reason to get out of your head and go for a walk too, but I know it might be too hard right now x oh just seeing u mention consent forms, do not underestimate how long that takes, we had to print our own out and fill them in, left it til the night before and it took 2 bloody hours!! The most disturbing thing I agreed to is Micro assisted laser hatching. HATCHING! I didn't even Google it I don't want to know lol
@veeboo woohoo, Mediterranean food and walnuts is a diet I can get on board with! Especially after eating burgers and Mac and cheese for 5 days, I miss vegetables lol. Hope you have a FAB time at the hen, glad you've had your hair done too, always makes me feel better 👍

Also the holiday stopped me from doing early tests, which was good, but because I used opks of course I deluded myself that it would definitely happen this month, despite considerable evidence that it's very unlikely! So more than the usual amount of gutted to see af this month, however it was amazing to have an idea of when it would be and not get caught off guard! So going to carry on with opks this month too

@cloudsway glad you had a good time!! It sounds like you’ve managed to relax sorry af came though! only one more day till I can start the tablets am very excited (even though I know I shouldn’t be and should keep a calm head as I know the chances of it working first time are low) just feels like we at least finally have a chance!!

Hope everyone enjoyed the sun yesterday! Xx
