anyone due af around 7th august? 6BFPS!!!!!!!!!!!

[London Kiwi]

Oh Laura, really sorry to hear. I hope by some miracle that you are pregnant. OR fingers crossed Next cycle will be our cycle

Doctor is this afternoon, hoping for a referral at the very least and can keep trying until we get seen at a fertility clinic.
I believe being 35 is definitely playing a role here but i shall remain positive, it will happen one day... soon i hope!!

 

[lucy_smith]

im so sorry for you laura ! have you gotten any info back from the dr yet?

how did the drs go londonkiwi ??

I'm on cd 11 here, using cbfm. and I'm confused ...... this is my 3rd cycle using this monitor, bot previous times i had highs before my peak and got peak on 16/17 first month and 15/16 the second cycle. but this cycle i have just gotten a peak with no highs on cd 11... throwing off my cycles by quite a bit..... :/ i have read that this can happen, but its making me feel a little deflated .... managed to bd last night (thankfully) so just hoping bf is up for it the next couple of days

Good Morning Ladies,

Hope all is ok Laura.

So I went to my Doctor on Friday afternoon, he looked over the sperm analysis for us, always good to get a 2nd opinion - he said its all very normal, nothing to be concerned about. All my blood tests came back fine, i'm producing the right hormones and everything seems to be 'text book' ok.... so he's referring me to a gynecologist to get a couple of scans/tests done to make sure everything is ok down there and there are no blockages in my tubes etc. He said in the meantime just keep trying - which is what i'll do!

CD12 for me today...

Lucy - That does seem a bit strange... I've not used their fertility monitor, (contemplated getting one) but i've used their ovulation tests in the past and I normally got 3-4 days of highs before my peak. There is a clearblue helpline that you can call, might be useful so you're not left wondering??

 

[lucy_smith]

im so glad your tests came back fine
fingers crossed for your scans !

clearblue said that this can happen in some peoples cycles so im going to go with that lol

feeling super deflated this month...... we bd'd on the night before and the night of my first peak..... same as the last 2 months .... missed my second peak, hoping we can tonight which will be the night of my last high on my monitor ..... but this means that we have done the same as previous cycles and it didnt work then and chances are the same again this month

but let the tww begin!

 

[London Kiwi]

I've just realised that my referral letter will be going to my old address, we have moved homes - so i'll need to chase it up with the new owners to ensure that I dont miss my appointment.

I know how you feel Lucy, I feel like im constantly repeating the BD'ing on the same days and its not working... once again we appear to have the same BDing pattern this month, just happened that way - will just have to wait and see.

CD15 for me. I got a high on my OPK yesterday and also today, had some cramps this morning so think i've probably ovulated today, i'll check my temp in the morning to see.

Fun and games in the TWW again! Good luck Luv x

 

[lucy_smith]

when is af due for you then? we should be due around the same time again!

 

[London Kiwi]

28th Sept according to my Ovia app... What about you??
AF twins... Here's hoping its BFP twins ��

 

[lucy_smith]

if i go by my usual lp then im due a week today!
so the 25th! but thats me only having a short cycle, so i dont know if because i ovulated early then my lp might lengthen ? who knows!!!
imagine if we both got bfps?????? ttc journey together and then all the way through! could be exciting !!!!!


how are you getting on?

 

[London Kiwi]

That would be so exciting if we did!!

CD19 for me today, AF is due next Weds 28th, im really busy this week and then off to Spain on Friday for a long weekend for my birthday so think next Weds will fly around quick.

I dont know how I feel this month. I dont think i was lucky enough to conceive... damn it! I started temping last month so this is month 2 so i am a bit confused. I had a massive temp increase last month after I ovulated but this month it hasnt happened, I got positive OPKs and I felt some cramps so pretty confident I did ovulate but the temps would indicate maybe I didnt. On the other hand, there is a slight increase... (just not as much as last month) but when I ovulated last month London was hotter than the sun so maybe that had an affect on the reading #CONFUSED!

We shall just wait and see!

 

[lucy_smith]

its a good thing to keep busy! im in work the next few days and then its the weekend where i have a lot of stuff planned so it will be sunday test day before i know it! hopefully!!!
hope you have an amazing long weekend!!!

i felt out until tonight ! had cramps and lower back ache all night, quite strong too.... but now thinking about it i maybe had this last month?? will need to look back haha !

sorry i cant help with temping! never done it .... i feel it would confuse me..... so dont want too much hassle! probably why i bought the cbfm

 

[London Kiwi]

Lucy I think we are TTC twins! I also had some very mild cramps yesterday.
Mild but annoying enough to make me say to myself that better not be that bloody AF haha.

Work was hectic today, meeting after meeting! Are you based in the UK also?

I temped again today... No blimmin idea what's going on there. My temps are just standard old temps... Just thinking that I need to do it a couple of months to decide what's normal and starting in the hottest month of the year probably wasn't advisable!

Apart from been hectically busy I feel fine today, nothing out of the ordinary.
How you feeling??

 

[lucy_smith]

Loving that I have someone to go through this with!!

I'm having aches and it feels like af is coming
Will have to wait and see....

If af turns up I'm going to see the dr!

Yes I'm in scotland where abouts are you? What do you do as a job ?

When are u going to take a first test?

 

[London Kiwi]

Hey Lucy,

I love Scotland!! I've been there a few times, have a wedding next May in Loch Lomond, looking forward to coming back.
I live just outside of London but work in Central London for the lovely NHS! Im in finance so its interesting at the best of times.

Damn those achy pains! I havent had any since the other night... but im sure they will come.

CD21 for me today...I feel like im out this month already.

I've still been temping in the mornings but I think im going to stop, its just confusing me! I finally got a temp rise today but suspected i Ov'd around CD15 so that seems really late for the temp increase... so yep, giving up! ha.

Only tomorrow left in the office then Spain for 4-days of Sunshine, I cant wait! Birthday is on Saturday so will be nice to chill out with a couple of cocktails and await the dreaded AF next week!

 

[lucy_smith]

sounds like you have a job that keeps you very busy!!

spain sounds lovely!!!! totaly not jealous over here !! haha ! hope you have an amazing relaxing time!

keep looking at holidays but bf doesnt want to go abroad anywhere until our dd is walking & talking, shes walking now so maybe next year! ( but hoping im going to fall pregnant so he will probably want to wait again... so may (hopefully) be a while yet!! lol

keep looking at cottages in the uk to go to, or centre parcs maybe? who knows ! lol

feeling out...... so having a glass of wine to make me feel a little better

 

[London Kiwi]

Yeah this job is crazy busy sometimes, You know its madness when you're desperately looking forward to just two days out of the office

We are big fans of UK Cottages. They are so well set up. We normally go a couple of times per year. and who doesnt love a bit of Centre parcs action!! Decisions decisions! Its just nice to get away sometimes isnt it.

Hope you enjoyed your wine. I have that very negative out feeling today. I know AF isnt due until next week but I felt a little crampy earlier. I think you just know dont you. I wont bother testing early as i dont think there is much point.

I will be having many a wine and sangria and cocktail this weekend!!

How are you feeling today?

 

[London Kiwi]

How you feeling Lucy? Was AF due Sunday for you?

In Espana! Enjoying the sunshine ☀️☀️☀️
Just woken up - today is my birthday! And I feel rubbish haha Sod's law! I just know she's coming. Have that yucky AF feeling that she's on her way in the coming days blah!

Hopefully a cocktail in the sun will help!

Hope you're all good lovely! 😘

 

[lucy_smith]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!


was having a look last night! ive never been to centre parcs before, and feel like it would be mostly wasted on us, but it makes holidaying with a 1 year old easy, free pool access, lots a little walks, restaurants on site etc, and everything i presume will be kid/ baby friendly ! so think i might just book it, got a great deal for next month £320 for mid week break, but its only a studio flat, which i suppose wont really matter ..... but its like double the price to get a 2 bed. so who knows !

according to my 12 day lp, i should get spotting today i think and af shows up tomorrow, ( following the previous 2 cycles on my cbfm)
but my cbfm must still be getting used to my cycles as its still presuming i have a 14 day lp. so says im due to start af on tuesday. still going to test tomorrow morning though! af like cramps have stopped, and i keep getting twinges in my nipples, but i think i maybe had this last month, maybe not so strong.... who knows!!! will see what my test says in the morning if my spotting doesnt start today :/

how are you doing ? i bet its so nice to get some sunshine!!! enjoy all those lovely cocktails!!!!


( ps i conceived my 1st on my birthday so hoping birthday weeks send you some luck!!)

 

[lucy_smith]

Bfn over here this morning

 

[London Kiwi]

Ah no!!! Lucy so sorry to hear about your BFN?
AF was due today yeah?
Here's hoping Centre Parcs might be the relaxation and time out you need to get that baby #2 on the go. Sounds like you got a really good deal, that price is pretty good!
Had a lovely birthday yesterday thanks... I prob drank a little too much, Opps! But hey until that BFP shows I will continue to do so
Weather has been fab, sad we only have tomorrow left
Have just been looking online at Scotland accom actually! We have a wedding in Loch Lomond in May so just booked that up tonight. I'm hoping that I'll be quite pregnant by that stage... We shall see.
AF is due on Weds so think I'll spot Tues / maybe tomorrow.
Still think I'm also out. Had a few cramps yesterday, birthday cramps damn her!! I will keep you posted.
Sorry again about the BFN X

 

[lucy_smith]

yes it was due on sunday, still no spotting yet, starting to wonder if the cbfm prdicted ovulation wrong, and it wasnt early at all as i would have either had af or bfp by now. if af doesnt turn up will take another tomorrow or the day after.


hoping we are both very pregnant by that point next year!!!!

when are you going to test?
