Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

skimper

Welcome to the board kslater.

How did your weekend away go pkk? Did you tell anyone your news? How's the little bean getting on?

kslater - welcome to the thread! It can take up to a year for your period to return so hold out and hopefully they will return soon! Keep BDing as you are and enjoy the trying! I developed a cervical ectropion after coming off oral contraceptives (a change in hormones can cause it) which causing bleeding when BDing sometimes. It is nothing serious and alot of women have it - so the bleed may be something like that.

The weekend was nice, although the reason wasn't. We told immediate family and it was lovely seeing their reaction. I then started to panic that we had told people but our 'official test day' but thankfully the tests have continued to be positive. We've told nearly everyone that knew we were having treatment which makes me very nervous sometimes, incase things go wrong, but in all honesty we would tell all these same people if things did go wrong anyway! Our first scan is next week so we are hoping and praying that our little one is growing nice and strong in there. I've had little stretches/pains here and there, a little nausea but nothing major and some days I am really tired - it is so frustrating not knowing what's happening in there!

How is everyone else?

in theory we're in fertile week now but I just don't feel up to trying this month.
It's so hard - another month.... never ever dreamed I would be in this situation.

so pleased for you PKK. Are you able to get lots of rest? I work from home so was able to squeeze in a rest after lunch when I would sleep for a good hour or so every day!!

Thats good things are progressing PKK, bet you cantt wait for the scan.

Aunt pickle, its so hard! I was like that & I still am some months. Some months it can easier to take a break?

I'm in fertile week I think, Cd16, we've BD'd CD12,13,15 & tonight so were giving it a good go this month. Although my temps haven't dropped yet, but i got a positive opk on day 12. So i'm going to try & keep going until I see that drop.

Welcome Scottish Kez - We've been trying since March 2018, the Dr hasn't found anything wrong with us, its just not happening for us which is frustrating. Fingers crossed you get that BFP

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

@HopHop - You can't win can you - by trying not to stress about it, it makes you stress even more. Sending you well wishes for exciting #2 news soon! Trying to Concieve is all I can think about but my partner is taking the "we will just keep trying and wait and see approach" so I am thankful to have found this thread so I can openly talk about it - I would explode if I couldn't. If I try to speak to my partner I'm shut down and told not to stress.

Congrats PKK! Hope the nausea has kept at bay. Thank you for the advice. For a moment yesterday I felt like AF had arrived but it just turned out to be CM. :S I have been very forgetful for the past 24 hours and have even been slightly clumsy (e.g mis-judging door frame and walking into it) - both are usual AF symptoms for me.

Crossing everything for you Skimper!

Welcome ScottishKeZ - Crossing fingers and toes for a BPF Christmas Gift - In fact, crossing fingers and toes for everyone here.

I've got a group of friends that want to meet up, 2 out of the 3 are pregnant, with only 2 months or less to go. They want to meet up again... But I can't help but feel huge resentment.
One of them is on her 2nd child in the time I've been trying, the other one wasn't trying but not preventing. I just don't think I can bear to see them.
I've put it off once and feel bad doing it again but I honestly just can't.

Im 7dpo tomorrow, and have to go for my 21 day bloods. We have tomorrow off and going Christmas shopping and getting some more Christmas decorations.

CD 2 for me.

I've been spotting since cd18 till AF turned up, I had the same last cycle but assumed it was because of the transvaginal scan, but had the same this cycle.
A quick read says it could be due to low progesterone. I'm going to book a dr appointment this week and see what they say.
Not sure if I should book with my gp or the fertility clinic?

HopHop

Sorry to hear that Skimper! I'm CD 5 today, AF decided to turn up a week early and got me all excited thinking it was an implantation bleed. I do have similar concerns to you about low progesterone, I've got a long history of bleeding a lot, periods lasting 14 days etc. so I used to take a lot of progesterone to try and combat the bleeding. I was on the progesterone only pill before conceiving number 1 and I never went back on any contraception afterwards but I'm now thinking that maybe I should go back on the pill to build up the progesterone before trying again. I can't advise on who to speak to though sorry. Did you get anywhere with your blood tests?

skimper

Did u get tablets over the counter or from your gp? I've bought some cream to use for the next cycle incase I can't get in to my gp before then.

I haven't had any results from them yet, which is frustrating, I'm assuming they want all the results in before they have me back in. I had my last blood test on Monday so I'm hoping I hear back off them soon.
