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

Aww thats great to hear. A problem shared is a problem halved so they say.
Atleast she knows now so you have someone to vent to, even if she doesnt know what to say, she's still an ear to listen to! I bet you're feeling much better now that she knows.

And yay for getting your peak!

I said to my husband knowing our luck i'll blimmin ovulate on the plane to Thailand. its looking to be around that day - typical !!

 

[lucy_smith]

Typical !! But you just need to make sure you have a good time before the flight! Haha!

I had the drs on Wednesday, she booked me in to do a smear and examination to see if there was anything wrong, just waiting on results. It turns out I have something called cervix Ectropion. Which is causing the bleeding, good news is it shouldn't affect ttc, bad news is it causes the bleeding, but my dr advices we don't do anything about while ttc


she also said that I've to wait for more tests till April to see if these vitamins help, and basically she had spoken to my fertility dr so I basically didn't need to go to my first fertility appointments. I think they want us to try for a few extra months because we are young

 

[London Kiwi]

I've never heard of Cervix Ectropion - it was straight to google for me!
Ah no, so you wasted your time a little with going to the first appointments? I guess its better to have everything covered just incase. Its a pain how they focus so much on age. Im old and I still have to do everything the same as someone younger so why cant they start the process for you?

So i got a call this morning about my laparoscopy. They have booked me in for Monday which is great... but I have a few concerns:
- Im flying to Thailand on Friday, while im sure it will be absolutely fine - i just hope there are no complications
- Im also due to ovulate towards the end of next week. I doubt very much that i'll be allowed to have sex let alone want it at that point so not sure if trying this month is an option.
Guess we will have to wait and see!

Im happy the appointment is booked in, I just hope they dont find anything too serious and get it all sorted while they are in there having a poke around

 

[lucy_smith]

Did I tell you I had a laparoscopy a few years ago? I had one to check for endometriosis. I was in and out the same day, they offer you painkillers after bit I didn't need them, I did bleed / spot for a few days after though. Any questions just ask!

 

[London Kiwi]

Oh did you?
You might be my go-to girl then
Im actually not that concerned, guess all this is routine to see if there is anything wrong.
I'm getting a laparoscopy & Dye test and also a hysteroscopy. So they are checking for literally anything and everything and they sort it while they are in there if need be!

 

[lucy_smith]

so i am due af on tuesday....unless these vitamins play more tricks on me lol !
i havnt had any spotting yet!!! usually would have had some by now .
spots started breaking out a couple days ago, and have died down today..... normally i think they just get worse until after af. but on the downside i have the 'i AM STARVING' week before af is due. so will see how this week goes!

 

[London Kiwi]

eeekkk maybe these are good signs!!
How amazing would it be if you got your BFP this month?!
You always spot so something is going on down there for sure!
Keep me posted, this is exciting!

I had my blood tests this morning, pre-op ones... all seems well so the op will be going ahead Monday as planned.

In the meantime, im out for a couple of wines tonight, and really looking forward to it!

 

[lucy_smith]

Had cramps on and off yesterday and today, duno if that's a good sign or a bad sign! Also been exhausted the last few days! I'm going to take a test in the morning which will be 10/11 dpo! Wish me luck

Hope you enjoyed your wines!!

Good luck with the lap on Monday!!!

 

[London Kiwi]

GOOD LUCK!!! The fact you've had no spotting is such a good sign. I really hope this is your month!

I got a phone call on Friday night 8pm from the hospital saying they had taken the wrong bloods. Well how the hell does that happen?! I handed them over the form that they gave me! Seemingly they took one but didn't take another or something like that. And that's apparently needed before tomorrow goes ahead. I was fuming as they said they weren't sure now bla bla and I said well how is this my fault and could I come in earlier tomorrow? So op was due to take place at 11 now I'm going in at 9 so they can draw more blood. I'm assuming it will still go ahead but who knows now!

5 sleeps till Thailand!

 

[lucy_smith]

Bfn

What a night mare!!!!! Can't believe that!! Hope it all goes to plan tomorrow! Keep me posted !! Just think about Thailand!!

 

[London Kiwi]

Ah crap! not out yet Lucy! Lets see what the next couple of days bring.

Im really quite concerned that im going to turn up tomorrow and they're going to turn me away. its totally their fault, i handed them the piece of paper that they gave me and they did the tests, they mustnt have read the whole thing perhaps? We shall see. I have taken two days off work so I hope it goes ahead!

Did I tell you im coming to Scotland for a wedding in late May. Where abouts in Scotland are you based?

 

[lucy_smith]

Af due tomorrow..... will see how that goes!

Fingers crossed today went as planned!!!

 

[London Kiwi]

Oohhh still no spotting? This is great Lucy.

I'm feeling pretty awful right now, back from
The hospital about 2 hours ago.
I've got two incisions, one at the bottom of my belly button and the other is about 5cm under that. They also did the lap dye through my vagina (TMI sorry )

So.... Operation went well, no complications in regards to the procedure. The dye test went well, tubes are fine - no blockages. But....Turns out my ovaries and another area (can't remember what they said at the moment) have endometriosis.
This is the first time this has ever been picked up on, no symptoms indicated it etc. But regardless of the situation they treated in while they were in there.

They said they could see an egg ready to be released also so should be ovulating in the coming days. Would be great if ovulation held off a few days as right now I do not feel like having sex!

Would be ideal to ovulate Thursday...couple of days to recover and it's the day before we fly out to Thailand so could work well.

They said keep trying as I'll be more fertile than ever for the next while after the op.

All the best for the next few hours... Hope AF stays away for you and you get that much anticipated BFP!!

 

[lucy_smith]

Spotting has just started tonight bummer!!!!! So sick of this



Sorry you have endometriosis it is actually a fairly common thing and it's also common for people to never know about having it ! Did they say how the endometriosis would affect fertility? Did they say that this could be your problem?

Hope you feel better soon!

 

[London Kiwi]

Ah bugger Lucy, here we are again for yet another month!

Absolutely no idea that I had endo until I woke from the operation and they told me they had lasered it off. I also dont know how bad it was because i didnt see my consultant before i left, just another junior doctor. Due to go back in a couple of weeks so i'll hear more then. She said that it was text book surgery and everything went well which is great.

I feel awful today I cant wait for the anesthetic to wear off, I feel sea sick!!

I am not sure what affect this will have on my cycle this month but just did an OPK and thank god its still negative! I am hoping for late ovulation this month.

 

[London Kiwi]

Hey Lucy - all ok with you?
Currently relaxing in Thailand - it's lovely!
I think I'm out this month. I don't think I've ovulated, guessing due to the laparoscopy/hysteroscopy - I was getting darker lines up until the operation then they basically were non existent after.
To be honest it's not such a bad thing to have a month off as we DTD once and it was far too soon! Quite nice to have a break.
Will be straight back to it next month though obviously!
Hope things are all good at your end

 

[lucy_smith]

I'm hope if your feeling much better so you can enjoy the rest of your holiday!!! You have made me so excited for my holiday in may!!
With what you have just been through it's probably best to just relax and enjoy your holiday!! What's it like in Thailand ?

Cd 8 here.... just the waiting game again...

 

[London Kiwi]

It's so lovely here! The weather is amazing.
We are having the laziest holiday and not doing a lot except sitting in the sun, swimming, eating, drinking cocktails and super cheap beer by the pool.
I will be massively depressed when I get home... And no doubt on the countdown to my next holiday which is early June - Spain.
Where you heading in May?

Are you still using the fertility monitor? Can't be long till you get your peak now!

 

[lucy_smith]

Cd 10 here! Will start testing with the monitor tomorrow, tend to peak around day 14-17 ish
I have been sooo grumpy recently! I don't know what's up with me, just feeling pretty stressed/ grumpy.

Going to Greece ! going with bfs family but I'm not bothered!

How long are u away for ?

 

[London Kiwi]

Oh Lovely - Greece will be fabulous.
Although sometimes holidaying with the inlaws... Not so much! Ha. I'm sure you'll have a great time.
We leave Thailand Monday afternoon
Sad to leave, it's been amazing. It actually feels like we have been here a good while which is great - a proper holiday. The weather has been so so nice, the past couple of days have actually been too hot so sitting in the shade a lot.

You must be approaching the TWW! 😊
For me it's CD23, AF is due the end of next week. there is probably a 0.000003% chance that I've conceived this month so not even thinking about it really.

I'm fully healed now, pretty much all the bruising has gone so next month I'll be ready to catch that bloody egg!!
