Hi everyone ... I've been MIA for about a month, sorry but I needed to go into my own little coping bubble for awhile around IVF. I just created an update video-log if you'd like to see it. Can't wait to go back over some of the posts I've missed. Hope you all are well. Much love, moi.

Hiya, had a lovely day today... I so don't like leaving my granddaughter so far away Lisa they live in city centre, new apartments by the coach station by Bullring

Well I don't really have symptoms apart from being sick this morning, so don't know how to take the test... the same lines came up on 3 tests and nothing yesterday or day before.. will try again tomorrow and save the sample and pop to store to buy another brand... im not thinking of myself as "pregnant" yet... I would want a nice pink line..I put it in my chart but maybe removed in the morning.. watch this space I seriously think I missed my egg.. but cant understand why I would get a very faint line.. oh well lets see what tomorrow brings xx

Hi, just home from a long day will take a peek tomorrow.

 

[dancareoi]

Tanya, glad you had a nice day in Brum. Have to be honest I haven't been into city centre for years and years. I think I've been to the bullring twice since it opened!

Will be watching for updates tomorrow!

Well Caitlin wasn't impressed with lumpy food a lot of face pulling and choking! Will try again tomorrow

 

[Soanxious]

Aww caitlin will soon love it, my granddaughter is on solids now, she is 6 months old. I took her chocolate buttons today her mum frowned haha! she had 4 of them.. bless she loved them..rest in fridge for tomorrow.

 

[Soanxious]

Hiya, looks like it still had same lines as yesterday really... and invert not really showing it on here... oh well onto the next cycle lets hope for a january baby x

 

[Oasis717]

Tanya those blue handled ics take forever to get dark. I was 7 weeks with Brooklyn before mine went darker than the control! From one day to the next the line didnt darken it took about 4 days! Dont count yourself out based on them. Id get a branded test. Ff has me expecting af in 2 days as my cycle was 27 days last month but I have zero af symptoms and no spotting after bd like the last 3 cycles which is odd but as I said after this cycle weve decided to wait a few months til Brooklyns walking. Its v hard work now he can crawl xxxx

 

[Soanxious]

Oh, I bet when you decide to concentrate on Brooklyn crawling you will get pregnant lol... it will be a very busy time so you will stop charting too?

As for tests, I took an asda one just now not a fmu as that got tipped out..I was in a rush this morning...and it was neg... I have not bought a branded one, I don't like spending money on tests till I know I am pregnant lol... I bought 1 £1 and 2pack £3.50 so I tried the one out of the £3.50 with a lunchtime sample and neg... its ok I've said all along I think I missed this egg... and if I did it might of just caught and went within a day if its showing a very very faint line.

Lol probably! I will carry on charting just to check im o and my cycles are settling as my lp has been all over the place and im o much later. Ive researched a bit and it can take 6 months for your cycles to return to normal and your fertlity return. I cant really say weve been ttc for 3 months as that first month with a lp of 7 days (which is normal) wasnt a true cycle so this is kinda the second go but with my cycles out and all the stress of the work here it was prob daft to even think we had a chance! I think once Brooklyns walking it will be much easier. I wont use opks or record bd after this cycle but I will still record my temp oh and to me anything other than an ic is a brand to me lol, Asda brand! Ive used those with the last 3 pregnancies Theyre only a 15 though (3.50 ones) and not v sensitive. Super drug Early is the best at 10 and 3.99 for two xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Well taking a break from ttc will be ok then give your cycle a chance to get back to normal... and be all ready for another one when Brooklyn is walking x

I took test out of casing, I have a faint line there too 3rd wee of day sample, I hate faint tests... the asda cheapie one that is a 15 so dunno.. will try again tomorrow will save morning sample and pop to superdrug.. your so full of test knowledge lol. the line is useless on camera

Im so tired, I have what seems to be hayfever and pharmacist will only allow children's piriton if your ttc or pregnant so know it's knocked me out im so drowsy, I was just weeding the garden with my eyes almost closed, so i've fed DS with a snack and said we can have cooked dinner later.. I need hours sleep. x

 

[crysshae]

Tanya - I could see something on the first test but not on this last one. I hope it gets darker for you.

Becks - You sure you're out? Stable temps and a huge rise? And completely different than the last few cycles?

Jenn - Any updates?

Finding - I didn't have a chance to watch your link but good luck.

Hope you are all doing well.

 

[Oasis717]

Hmm Crystal I just took it my chart is diff cause my cycles might be slowly stabilising! I have no symptoms at all. But the last 3 cycles ive had loads af symptoms inc cramps a week before. This month nothing! The only thing throwing me is we bd this morn and no spotting. Not even a drop. I always spot after bd when af is a few days away. Unless im pregnant lol. But then I would have symptoms by now going by all my other pregnancies except the blighted ovum which I had zero symtoms. I did my v last Superdrug test yest at 7 dpo. Neg. Now I wish I hadnt lol. I am testless! Wont buy one unless af doesnt arrive which it prob will but maybe later than last cycle. Xxxxx
Tanya I still see a line!! Xxx

 

[Soanxious]

Hiya, omg I just slept for around 4 hours!!! only woke because OH woke me up... meh!!

Yes the lines are showing up to naked eye, never had negative tests with lines before, but normally darker pos tests this many dpo as I know I could'nt be any later because of the no BD but I did use mooncup and conceive plus on the last BD. Will test again tomorrow.

Becks how can you let us poas addicts down and run out of tests? get back on amazon now young lady LOL. and 7dpo is still early so get more tests x

Crystal the last test was 3rd wee of the day after lots of water and a cooked breakfast(made OH take me to Toby for an all you can eat breakfast as I was starving)x

My temps are not great and have no symptoms except being so tired I can sleep standing up. And im very Grouchy towards OH has he is grumpy today(hence it was nice to get some sleep).

Apart from all that.. hows all the little ones loving our lovely warm sunshine?? What's everyone been up to today?? x

 

[Oasis717]

Iol I promised dh I wouldnt buy anymore after these not the money just the disappointment so I will get him to get me 2 Superdrug tests if I get to 14dpo Brooklyn has a terrible cold ive just been asleep with him for an hour. So tired. Im going to have to wake him for his last bottle. Xxx

Still not good news. We are monitoring 3 things. HCG is what the embryo/placenta releases. At this point, it should be at least 50. It went from 9 on Friday to 17 today. It should double within 48 hours, and although it did do that, it is still alarmingly low. My progesterone went down from 6.9 to 2.5, which is not a good sign. The only good thing is that I can take medicine to improve it. My estradiol went up 70 to 174, which is good, but is probably caused by the fact that I already up'ed my dose of estradiol the other day. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to raise the HCG, and that is the most important number. That is all up to whatever is happening inside. I will have to wait until Tuesday to have another blood test. I haven't been poas and I'm not sure if I will or not. The levels are so low that the darkness of the line is greatly effected by what I have to eat or drink and I need to drink with the d*^m cough! At this point, my chances are slim...but not none. Not great odds. Going between hopeful and realistic. Sigh.

 

[Oasis717]

Caved and bought some ics only 10. Sparkle im so sorry it wasnt better news but theres still a chance. So hoping for you. Xxxx

 

[Soanxious]

Oh Becks I hope he get's better soon... horrible when they are poorly. As for the tests I know what you mean.. I already felt out this month after illness so that's why im not so worked up or excited about my tests, I am expecting the worst anything else would of been a bonus but think if I did get pregnant then it ended soon due to weakness of tests. So onto a new yr baby if Im talking to OH by then.. he is being made redundant end of month and is very stressed n grouchy...

Sparkle but the HGC got bigger... thats almost doubled as it should do.. im feeling positive for you x

Becks HaHa I knew you couldn't not test you're back in the true poas addict list now!!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol youre a bad influence Tanya! Im still hoping for you. Everything crossed! Xxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Massive drop in temp today was up from 4 til 5.30 with Brooklyn so only hour and 45 min sleep before taking it but even so thats a big drop! Xxx

 

[Soanxious]

maybe you can just ignore it because of the lack of sleep? x

I took another asda test, faint line... so no progression, so I will class it as oh well.. onto next cycle..

off to watch Sons of anarchy now as washing out on line and will have ironing to do later.
