Thanks! I did and the new doctor seems so much better. She’s booked me in for a scan, another blood test and said if we can’t find an answer after this I’ll have to see a specialist. She said “how do you feel about your weight” which I thought was very nice, i said everything I felt. Thanks for the support! 🤍
This is fantastic news, I'm so pleased she listened to you and seems to have a game plan. 🤞🤞🤞 Hoping things work out for you x
 
10dpo today. Af normally comes 11dpo, feeling anxious. I had some period type cramps today with one episode of cm with brown spotting mixed in with it fully expected it to come but as yet nothing yet.
I’ve only had this type of cm before but it happened a few times at night and it was followed by af in the morning. If it’s going to come why can’t it just come quickly!

No offence taken!! But also, don't be afraid to ask for help after 6 months of trying (or whatever the NHS website says) I was probably around 36 before I asked for help - and got pregnant the month before we were due to start IVF! Incidentally, there's nothing wrong with either of us, I always joke that we're just "doing sex wrong" 😂 😂

You should ovulate around day 14, that's what I was going to track this month but I got a positive result on day 8. If I'd waited any longer, I may have missed it and then thought I hadn't ovulated. (and start to panic about the menopause or something 🤣🤣)

If you scroll back on this thread, someone posted a link to a blog where the lady did crazy graphs and was desperately trying to ovulate before day 20 + so we're all different.

Maybe get a load of cheap tests from Amazon or something and test every day until you feel you know your body better?
Some people also take their temperature every day, looking for a little rise around ovulation, but I just cba to do this

Sorry, I've just read that you broke something? Is that the little machine you shove the sticks in?
I’m booked in for blood tests on Monday to check if I need to be referred to a fertility clinic.
Yeah! It works once and then never worked again so I’m unsure what to try now.
Awh, good luck 🤍
I checked an ovulation calculator and it said I’d ovulate 8 days from when my period started, I don’t understand 🤦🏻‍♀️

13 dpo and I caved. BFN. 😔I found the tiniest bit of blood in my cm yday so maybe that was implantation? I don't know anymore. I kinda just want AF to come now and hopefully my cycle days go back to normal. I'm not even entirely sure when AF is due as this cycle has been so messed up. Maybe tomorrow?

I’m in a similar position to you although haven’t tested yet 🤞 implantation

I went looking at information on the luteal phase. Ovulating on day 8 would give a long luteal phase and be a symptom of PCOS??? Hopefully you will get some proper answers, I have no idea why my body has suddenly decided to spit out an egg on day 7/8?? My ovaries were scanned a few months back and looked good. Then I always tell myself that I'll book my appointment next month because I might be pregnant already 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ then I never am!!!

Ahh keep us updated! Kinda wish I hadn't tested now. I've got symptoms and obvs getting my hopes up, but not sure if the headaches and nausea are just nerves. 🥴

Hoping AF stays away for us all!

My periods are on time, and I’ve never missed one. It was what a website had said. I’m just going to get some ovulation tests I think

Ignore the website and do the tests. It's so horrible trying to navigate the info out there

So this is my first time posting and just looking for some advice or if anyone has had the same thing. I’ve just had a period that was really strange. It only lasted for around 4 days and the first 3 days was brown gloopy discharge stuff when I wiped (sorry) then for the last day and a half it was red/brown slightly heavier but still only there when I wiped then disappeared altogether. It was a 45 day cycle which isn’t abnormal for me as I have PCOS and recently have had cycles anything from 33 days to 90. Which is better than it was before when I went a whole year without a period.
Anyway apart from the period I also have really sore/sensitive nipples which is totally abnormal for me. I usually only get this a week leading up to af but this started on day 2 of my period and is still really sore now, worse now than it was when I was on. Has anyone else experienced this?

Have you recently had the covid vaccine? A lot of my friends had strange periods after theirs (and I hadn’t had a period in 6 months but got one after vaccines)
 
Hi everyone. Been stalking this thread for a while but only just joined the site.
My partner and I have decided to start trying this month. I came off the pill last August after being on it for about 10 years, because I wanted to get to know my cycle in preparation for when we were ready. Since then we've not been particularly careful and
we did find out I was pregnant in April but sadly I starting bleeding a couple of days after. It was a horrible rollercoaster few days.
Now I'm excited to try properly but worried the same thing will happen again. I'm also the kind of person to obsess over something so I know I'll be looking out for every possible sign...
I think we're just going to try to be "relaxed" about it at first. I've been tracking my BBT and think I am lucky to have quite a "normal" and regular cycle. But I'm a major worrier and just have a feeling that this is going to be a difficult journey for us.
Not sure the point of this post - maybe just to get some of my thoughts down in writing.
Sending good luck to everyone else. Thanks for reading.

Is this really a thing? I'm wanting to come home so I was thinking of having the Janssen vaccine this week, get it over and done with. If they ask me if I'm pregnant, I'll have to lie, there's no way they will give it to someone who answers "I don't know".
But at 42, I can't afford to wait 8 weeks between shots, I can't afford to have dodgy periods or a messed up cycle. I'm seriously running out of time.
I don't really want the vaccine, but my lungs are quite weak (nothing medical, I'm just a bit pathetic about fighting off a cold) so I really should have a vaccine because I'll be even weaker pregnant 😩😩😩😩
 
AF is here. CD1.. Let's do this.. Again. 😔 I was hopeful after reading positive stories about people getting pregnant the cycle after their chemical pregnancy. Maybe my body just wasn't ready. In my head I'm still grieving.

Naively went into ttc by thinking 'id love a march baby' and my husband always said he didn't want a child too late in the school year so July/August. Now we just don't care as long as we can conceive a happy and healthy baby. (although being heavily pregnant in summer doesn't sound too great. My friend is 8 months and she's struggling so bad with the heat!)

Hoping my cycle will be back to its normal 29 days this cycle. It's been a long 37 days this cycle after ovulating later than usual.

Plan of attack after AF. Test for ovulation. Don't Google anything until at least 12dpo. Don't test until 12dpo. Don't get my hopes. Have sex lots. Try and lose some more weight. No pressure. 🤣
