Thank you @Luna1108 it was a difficult decision and initially we were just going to use the house deposit for the IVF and continue saving until we saw this amazing property. I feel like I can't keep putting our lives on hold for this like I have been doing but it's tragic too because I would have been starting treatment this month and potentially pregnant next month. I just have to live in hope that it'll happen on it's own

Aww guys it’s like most heartbreaking monthly thing and on top it all different things we are each experiencing from whether we get BFN, did we ovulate to tests and side effects etc . But thank God for people that understand and supportive of each other.

@chloedancer897 aw mind yourself. Could you increase the clomid next month. The acupuncturist said to me about dairy and egg so I’ll ask that again for you as you mentioned that. Maybe up pomegranate and that kind of stuff. House is exciting but I know it’s such a torn situation for you

@Rosalind22 that is frustrating with OPKs. I would def like Luna said want bloods though to check ovulation. I would be getting back on to doc and asking questions. I know we can read so much hyper stimulation etc but try get yourself some more answers from doc x

chloedancer897 · 01/05/2021 17:11

@Shelleybe I don't know if I should increase the dose of clomid as I am ovulating so I'd be worried about hyper stimulating on it.

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 01/05/2021 17:29

@chloedancer897 have you had your tubes checked for blockages?

chloedancer897 · 01/05/2021 18:31

@Happinesscomesfromwithin yes. I've had all tests. They're all fine.

Shelleybe · 01/05/2021 19:11

@chloedancer897 yeah I know what you mean about hyper stimulating... how many cycles of clomid are you on. I have seen people say 6 or so cycles. My acupuncturist actually told me I’m thinking about it too much... could take a few cycles

chloedancer897 · 01/05/2021 20:55

@Shelleybe this was my second cycle. I only ever wanted to do 3.

Shelleybe · 01/05/2021 21:11

@chloedancer897 still another one to go though xx

chloedancer897 · 01/05/2021 21:25

@Happinesscomesfromwithin any update from you? Are you due AF tomorrow?d

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 01/05/2021 22:00

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 00:06

Line came up as the wee was going over the test! I'm shaking!!!!!

chloedancer897 · 02/05/2021 00:16

@Happinesscomesfromwithin I see it! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 00:19

Oh my gosh!!!! It's there and pink there's no denying it! I'll test again tomorrow. I honestly can't believe it.

chloedancer897 · 02/05/2021 00:23

@Happinesscomesfromwithin I'm so over the moon for you! If you don't mind, would you share your TTC story?

Started spotting so AF appearing tomorrow as predicted

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 00:25

Yes I will share it with you for sure. Don't lose hope it could be IB. And even if it is, there's always next month. I have no idea what helped this month, of course it was my first month of clomid and progesterone but I also started new supplements will share that with u all too! I stopped the progestrone as my OB only prescribed it for 10 days after 0. Wondering if I should renew my prescription and continue taking until 12 weeks?

chloedancer897 · 02/05/2021 00:29

@Happinesscomesfromwithin ring to check just in case. How amazing, I'm so glad you've finally got your BFP xo

Defo not IB, I'm 13DPO now, far too late. Plus with the BFN today it was inevitable. Anyway, back to you! Please share your supplements etc when you get a minute. Does DH know??x

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 00:36

No DH doesn't know! Just you and my best friend! Also we only DTD once 3 days before ovulation!

chloedancer897 · 02/05/2021 00:38

@Happinesscomesfromwithin that's amazing, I'm over the moon. You can surprise him tomorrow!x

chloedancer897 · 02/05/2021 00:40

@Happinesscomesfromwithin do you have a digital?x

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 00:40

Also symptoms for all of you wondering were cramps on and off from ovulation onwards - tons of creamy CM like lotion - sore nipples not breasts - little white dots on breasts more predominet - had a day feeling sick like I had stomach flu last week - my breasts have grown a cup size! Stuffy nose and vivid dreams. Oh and cramps like AF these past few days and really moody like PMT.

chloedancer897 · 02/05/2021 00:40

@Happinesscomesfromwithin you're our first BFP!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 02/05/2021 00:41

No I'm abroad no digitals here. Will go to the pharmacy and buy a few more of these tests and I'll tell him once the line is nice and dark. Don't know if I can hold it in till then but I'll try.
