I think I'll test on Thursday morning if I've not had spotting by then 
That sounds good, nice that they've given you a plan to focus on. Interest about not tracking or taking supplements too! Best of luck, hope things work out and you don't need to go backI can see a line too! I think that’s a good line for 11DPO and not FMU. Congratulations
I’ve had my appointment at the fertility clinic. I’ve been prescribed a low dose of clomid for 3 months then if that doesn’t work I’m to go back for bloods in October and they may prescribe a higher dose for another 3 months. If that doesn’t work they’ll discharge me from NHS care and we will need to decide if we want to fund IVF privately. I’m quite happy with that plan and I don’t think it will hurt to try clomid before biting the bullet.
Interestingly, the doctor told me to stop using OPKs and tracking BBT. She said she finds it causes more stress than it’s worth and if we have sex every other day we won’t miss the peak. She also told me to stop taking all supplements aside from folic acid and vitamin D. I’m going to follow her advice for the next few months as clearly my methods haven’t worked yet
It stimulates egg production, by making the body think that your estrogen levels are lower than they are, which causes increased FSH and LH. My blood tests showed that I was ovulating but the hospital prescribed it anyway to try and give me a boost. There is a risk of more than one egg being released so multiple birth though!
We’ve had a change to our policy too - they are offering 6 months full pay now which is amazing! I am ready to put my out of office on for it alreadyA bonus to waiting for a BFP, I managed to change our maternity policy at work. I hope I get to use it sometime in the future
Not at all! I may caveat this with the following though; last month was my first time TTC, so I don’t have a lot of experience, but this is what I felt during the last two months.That's really interesting, what was different last month? If you don't mind me asking of course
I’m 6DPO & I’ve had nothing to note but I’m sleeping terribly too. I’ve read ppl saying they had the puffy or sore gums though! I wonder what causes that.Ladies I had removed myself from ttc for a while due to a few different things going on and for the last few months have been casually NTNP but here I am once again, a week into a 2ww and driving myself mad symptom spotting - even though in the previous pregnancies I've had, I had zero symptoms, none. A week of crazy dreams/restless sleep which is unusual for me, and some seriously sore and puffy gums which is also very random. It's gonna be a long week
I think if it’s the male who has had a child previously they sometimes don’t reveal this (have seen this happen) I’m not sure how much the check this or just take their word for it. Obviously different for a women it will be on your medical records
It’s a relief when you get those numbers back isn’t it I panicked about mine too and was sure they were going to tell me I had something like 2 and I had killed them all during my party yearsThank you so much for your reply
I had my appointment yesterday. I panicked thinking I’d have no follicles at all but I had 12 in my right ovary and 11 in my left.
I was on CD18 and they could see a growing follicle which meant I would ovulate in around 3 days. After tracking my cycles it was confirmed I do have a short luteal phase and they could see that as my cycles are 28 days so it doesn’t have enough time to attach.
I also had my bloods done so they’ll check those again too.
They did say they could offer medication to lengthen my phase but I’ve heard horror stories about them
How are you finding Clomid?
Sending you lots of baby dustxx
7DPO tomorrow and had all of these symptoms. Keeping my fingers crossed
I have headaches too which seem to be a hormonal thing for me. Had all of these symptoms last month with my chemical too but not the lower backache interestingly.
After all they; AF cramps are happening and she will arrive tomorrow. I saw a bit of her as I wiped. She’s arriving ffsHope you get an answer soon
Please don't feel like a failure, it's completely normal for healthy couples to take up to 2 years to conceive. You can do everything right and just not conceive that month for no real reason. I'm pretty confident I've got the timing right in 6-9 cycles and am yet to conceive. I've got friends who took 9-12 months to conceive and others who conceived on their first try, it really does seem to be a lottery sometimes.
Lol it’s never “my poor partner”, they’ve got everything they ever wanted - all the sex
Got a BFP this morning after my second chemical last month…4th time pregnant, but never a good outcome. I think I’m happy, there’s just no joy with it now. Trying to hope and keep calm.
Thank youAw to be fair while it’s horrible for you to go through hearing it, it would certainly be hard for me, I think a lot of us here went into TTC thinking it wouldn’t take this long. She’s not taking out of malice, I mean I thought 3 months maybe.. and here I am 23 months later after 12 months not trying not avoiding, and 11 months fully tracking my ovulation. I kind of miss those innocent days of it will happen quickly, and wish I could be back there instead of stressing.
One million percent I feel what you are feeling.. but it’s one of those many situations where we want to break down but have to put on a smile and go along with itWe are always here if you need to vent
I think that's exactly it - it's not meant cruelly in the slightest! I agree, I certainly didn't think it'd take this long, it all seems so much simpler before you go into it. I already feel better since joining this thread though, makes it feel much less lonely 
Brilliant congratulationsPregnancy! I whizzed out to Tesco this morning and got a CB. Not sure if 2 lines always come up on the monitor tests if you’re preg, but definitely no denying the lines on this one!
Praying for a sticky baby this month
