*** February Testing Thread***

[gigglebox]

Mob, thank you, I hope so too! What crazy idea though, 4 kids....! Did you think going from 3 to 4 was challenging? Some days I don't feel like I could handle it. Some days I feel like super mom. I guess that's just being a mom in general though...? haha.

Tea, yay for a game plan! I hope you don't need any of the "extras" but good to know you have options and your obgyn is game to try some things. Good luck to you this cycle!

Hi ladies....not sure if this will work, I've not tried to upload pics in a long time but here goes...

9dpo and there is something there, not sure if you guys can see it? its got some colour irl and I know I often see things on ic's but this looks a bit stronger. I so hope this is our rainbow! I've been feeling really positive this cycle so fingers crossed!!

It was a while ago now as number 4 is 7, but I don't remember it being particularly difficult. Everything was always hectic then, and he just kind of fitted in with the madness. The biggest issue was ds3 was quite jealous which was something we hadn't encountered before. He's still not a huge fan of him

@MinnieMcMoose so sorry

@BabyBrain80 I think I see the shadow of something... hope it is the start of a bfp!

I just had my appointment with my gynaecologist and she said that it’s great I can definitely get pregnant because it has happened twice in two month. It’s possible the chemicals were just bad luck, but she thinks it could be that the corpus luteum is not strong enough.

She has prescribed me progesterone to start taking on cd 16 (or after I ovulate) and until I either get my period or I get to cd 40 and I’m still having a negative pregnancy test.

I have a follow up in April and if I’m not pregnant by then we can try Femera. I’m REALLY hoping I can just get pregnant this month, do the progesterone, and boom baby. But we’ll see.

She also said it looks like I’ll ovulate in about 2 days based on my follicle, so these little pinching o pains I’ve been feeling have just been the follicle growing.

Any ladies that have used progesterone please give me all the information!

That's progress I say! I had been prescribed progesterone before, one that you *ahem* stick up where the go, lol! Unfortunately it never made a difference for me, AF would come bang on time whether I got faint lines or not, but I'm hoping I was just incompatible with my ex and won't face the same crap again with my new man what type did you get? I've been considering buying some from Moodmama even though I'll get taxed out the rear end to deliver it here, what strength is your cream?

@BabyBrain80 i see a faint line. So hoping this is a sticky bub for you!

I’ve been prescribed 200 mg of Utrogestan. I’m supposed to take it the same way you took yours. Sorry it didn’t work for you... hopefully with your new partner you’ll have more luck! Did you have any side effects from it?

I don't remember feeling any different although I imagine a lot of people get super symptom'y, since you're pretty much amping up the stuff that gives you PMS so you may feel more of everything, which is a sucky but necessary effect hehe! I hope it works wonders for you ^_^

Thank you x Yes I will defo test tomorrow...as Im currently poas everytime I go to the toilet today so it's guaranteed lol.

@Teafor2 glad your appointment went well, seems positive and it's good to have a plan. Fingers crossed you just need the progesterone xx

@Teafor2
So glad they have given u something that can help hon. Ure Ob/gyn is right ure definitely very fertile to fall pregnant twice in such a short space of time.
I was told the very same.
But obviously after 4 CP I just felt like they was trying to keep me sweet.

I was never offered progesterone because my progesterone was checked back in September after the 3rd CP.
My levels all came back normol but I still was sure something was wrong with me to keep falling and losing.

The only thing I did differently was the maccaroot and folate which I had been taking for 3 months and then the low dose 75mg of baby aspirin.

Thankfully it did the trick so something somewhere must of been out of whack.
The Dr mentioned some blood clotting thing and that's why I was taking the baby aspirin but I didn't start it until BFP.

I'm not sure if it's a combination of all 3 things or not but I'm just so happy I was adviced to take all 3.

I've Heard alot of good stuff about progesterone supplements, there's a lady I watch on YouTube and she had 2 CP back to back then was put on progesterone and then got pregnant with her DD literally strait after the 2nd CP.
I have high hopes for you sweety and really hope u get a BFP this cycle with ure sticky Rainbow. Sending u lots and lots of supper sticky baby dust


@BabyBrain80
Yes yes yes I so so see that and it looks thick and has colour.
Oh my goodness I really really hope this is the start of ure hon.
Can't wait to see ure next tests so FX they get darker and darker


Good luck to everyone else waiting to test, can't wait to see more tests


And so so sorry to those that the stupid old got.

FX the next cycle is ures

I'm gonna have this with ds2. He was fine with ds3 as he wanted another sibling but he does not want another. Lol. I'm expecting sulking.

The last time I had my progesterone checked was in my early 20s because of irregular periods but everything came back normal. I had the blood work ordered to have my levels checked now somewhere between cd 2-5 but I got pregnant twice and was never able to do them. If I don’t get pregnant this month I can do them on cd 5 and they should still be accurate she said.

Dh is not thrilled about medication being involved. I explained to him that the nexts steps from here are Femara, then genetic testing, then ivf with embryo testing, and after that the progesterone didn’t sound as bad in comparison. I’m just hoping this helps and then we can go on with a healthy pregnancy.

ohhhh that'll be me if we have a 4th. Ds3 is a mama's boy and especially recently, he's been quite clingy! We co-slept longer than the others, he likes to be held the most, he's just overall a guy that likes affection. I feel like he'd feel slighted with someone younger in the fam...

Hello all!

Well - I have found myself unexpectedly in the TWW this month. The plan was to wait til April/May cycle before we tried for #3. I haven't been tracking to hard the last few months but thought I would try opks again this month - just to confirm that things are still working how they should be (I've used them whenever we've tried for babies in the past). I started testing around CD14 - typical cycles for me for the last few babies had me getting positive OPKS CD16 or CD17, with a 12-ish day luteal phase. WELL - after not getting a positive by CD20 - I started looking a little closer at my fitbit stats and my pulse as that has always reflected my ovulation pretty closely. It looks like I ovulated CD 13 or CD14 (which means I should have started opks at CD11). I can't remember exactly when we last had unprotected BD but since I haven't ovulated that early in a while I'm pretty sure it probably fell in that time frame. I also backtracked my last year of cycles on my fitbit and noticed that I had 3 cycles in 2020 where my cycle length was 27 days. It wouldn't be terrible to be pregnant now but we do have a trip planned in April and I wanted to be able to drink. lol Oh well! Out of the 4 pregnancies that we have had only 1 was more than likely conceived 0-2 or further. I think the chances are slim - but crazier things have happened!

I will be testing 11 DPO!

I really really hope it works hon I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

I have my scan on Friday and I'm shitting myself.
Pregnancy is so hard after losses I just can't relax. I'm a anxious person anyway, I have bipolar so anxious and that go hand in hand.
I was anxious with DS to my I think I'm more anxious this time around.

Hi and welcome.
I used to ovulate cd17 years ago but then when we ttc this time my ovulation was a bit all over the place.
Day 11 13 14 and 15.
I did have a day 8 ovulation which is crazy early but it was after one of my chemicals.
Then ovulation seemed to settle around day 13 to 15 but then the cycle I fell pregnant with this pregnancy my body threw a curve ball and I ovulated on cd10.

Thought it was far to early but seems it was perfect.

My luteal phase also changed. Years ago it was 14 days but now it's 16 to 17 days.

Ain't our bodies weird lol.


@sallyhansen76
Have u tested yet my lovely

 

[gigglebox]

kiki what dpo are you now?

 

[BabyBrain80]

@Suggerhoney thankyou! I wonder if there's something good about earlier ovulation?! I was temping this month to check I actually was ovulating, and by using that and having 1 clear positive opk (For a change) I ovulated day 9 or 10 (not sure if I should have counted the first day of spotting or not as my period was basically 4 days of spotting and no real flow). Xx

 

[AlwaysTheAunt]

10dpo for me and bfn. Every now and again something caught me eye but probs my line eyes lol

Hoping my bunch of cheapies come soon so I can test with fmu 12dpo. (no post today, so hopefully tomorrows delivery)

 

[AlwaysTheAunt]

@MinnieMcMoose so sorry you're out i hope your vaccine goes well and can get it sooner rather than later to start again.

@BabyBrain80 i see that line for sure! Good sign if its on all your tests too cant wait to see tomorrows test(s) lol
