Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

I'd probably test every 2/3 days until you were a week late then just test once a week until AF arrives if it was me Cheeky Peach.

Thanks for your replies. Are cramps still common in very early days? x

skimper

I'm not sure cheeky peach, hopefully someone else can answer that for you. Any update on the tests?/AF?

Doctors appointment tomorrow morning, slightly nervous how it's going to go.

PrettyKittyKat

Af has been teasing me for a couple of days with my temps being haywire too, but the cramps have arrived so I reckon she is here now!

I am unsure about that too cheeky. Annoyingly the symptoms for being pregnant and AF coming tend to be the same/ very similar for most people!

Skimper, don't be nervous. Just explain you have been trying for a while (I would seriously consider adding a few months on so they definitely take you seriously!) and would now like testing to establish if there are any issues. The first thing they should offer are blood tests at CD1-5 and CD21(ish depending on your cycle length) to check hormones and ovulation.

skimper

Just as your predicted ppk, she just asked a few questions & I'm going for my c21 blood test next week, OH has to ring in for a consultation and get a sperm analysis done.

Just popping back to say that I had cramping as if I was getting AF from 6dpo and it has only just eased up and I am now two weeks on from getting a positive.

All the signs are annoyingly so similar to af that it is hard to know!

PKK I hope the Witch stayed away!

Glad your appointment went well Skimper - fingers crossed that everything is ok!

Sadly the witch had arrived, but I knew it as soon as I got the cramps! It was the heaviest AF I have had since coming off the pill 18 months ago.

I hope you are all ok!

skimper

Sorry to hear AF arrived PKK.

fertile week is over for me and we only managed to BD once on CD14. So it was around the right time so hope for a sticky bean! I think having to BD at certain times, just took the spark out of it this month and neither of us was in the mood. I guess a month off may do us some good.

cheeky-peach

Thanks Wootsit! I'm relieved that AF finally arrived, I did start to worry as I got a neg test and had no idea what was going on. We have a holiday soon so going to OFFICIALLY start trying when we get back


Hope everyone is OK

skimper

I'd say sorry AF arrived peach but you seem pretty happy by it haha.

CD 21 for me today & just been for my blood test. Should get the results in about a week. Just need to get the OH to get booked in for his sperm analysis.
