Hello All 👋🏻
New here. 11DPO and convinced I feel ‘different’ this month, but so hard when most symptoms are so easily confused with AF.
Trying to resist early testing as last couple of months I’ve done this just through being way too eager.
My husbands Birthday coming up and I told a workflow friend months ago that I’d love to surprise him on his Bday with a BFP. Hoping I’ve manifested it 🤞🏻.
Been reading through the threads and want to say how amazing you all are for sharing your stories/hopes/fears ❤
 
I need to sto reading the community boards on premom.

6DPO and cramping is still ongoing which I guess is a good sign. The TTW is dull isn’t it? I have a birthday party at the weekend and I’d really like to know if I’m going to be drinking 😆

So we finally had our fertility specialist appt today, the only thing that came up in my bloods that needs more looking at is my thyroid/autoimmune antibodies as they were a little abnormal but it seems that this can be ok once you’re on meds. Next thing we have to book in for is a saline infusion sonohysterogram… has anyone had this?! Apparently it’s very painful so am not looking forward to this. Also we will be doing monitored cycles next month using clomid.. I feel relived that genetically we are okish - my AMH is a little lower than average but still in the ‘normal’ zone.. I hope we get our rainbow baby in the next few months!!

I had a a HYCOSY in January, and I was so worried after reading things online. It was nowhere near as bad as I expected! It was a little uncomfortable getting the line in and then a bit crampy as the dye was pumped in. It didn’t take anywhere near as long as I expected and I was fine afterwards. Good luck x
 
Anyone else just ready to give up. Been trying for over a year now, this was the 13th month. I’m 37 soon and I’m just sick of it. We have a 4 year old so I assume everything is ‘fine’. What do I do, is it time to speak to a GP? I have the FLO app for tracking, neither of us are over weight, neither of us smoke and we very rarely drink so I’d say we’re healthy. I feel so downtrodden.

If you've been trying this long you should go to your GP. They say if you're over 35 trying for 6+months then you need further testing. You might have secondary infertility.

Oh wow, thanks for the positivity & making me fear the worst. You shouldn’t throw the word Infertility around like that. I can’t imagine how triggering that is for some people to read.

I know your reply wasn’t to me but just wanted to jump in. I’m sure OP didn’t mean any offence at all, it’s a word lots of us use on here as it is the term used by medical professionals. If you have been trying to conceive for a year if you are under 35, it’s counted as some form of infertility (secondary if you already have a living child, primary if you have no living children but they are aware what’s causing it, eg. Low sperm count, ovulatory failure, or unexplained if not).

It definitely has scary connotations because of how it used to be used meaning no chance of children at all, but it isn’t that way now - most people who are classed as having some form of infertility go on to conceive a healthy child.

Get yourself to doctors if it’ll put your mind at rest, sending lots of love.

I don't think she meant any nastiness by it, and you asked if you should go the GP and she gave you advice. Interfertility isn't necessary doom and gloom, just means something might be a bit off and medication can help, it doesn't always mean that people physically cannot have children. Going to the the GP will be help ease your mind. I'm sure everything will be fine and it's just taking a little bit longer this time around, which is perfectly normal ☺

We've been trying for our first baby for 16 cycles and GP said everything was fine for me but my husband is having to have a second lot of tests as his morphology came back below average, but they also said it could be a lab error. NHS has so rush either, we started all this process in March 😂😂

Thank you 💖 Good luck in your quest. It’s just so downheartening so then to read that word was just ‘wow’. Not what I expected to read, when I usually see so much support in here. It shook me a bit. I have now contacted my GP so we’ll see what happens. We conceived the first month of trying with our first child, so really didn’t expect such a tough run this time. Sending love and luck to everyone else TTC 🤞🏻💖
 
Hi all - I've been reading on here since half way through thread 6 and feel ready to say hi :) I'm having my coil removed next week, before we start our TTC journey. Just wondered if anyone has an idea of what to expect when it's taken out ie weight gain/loss, aches, pains, anything really!
Also, is there anything I need to know about it being removed and TTC straight away or would it be better to wait? I'm 28 and this will be our first time trying, and I'm one of those people who wants to know everything about everything - good and bad. Thank you 🧡

By way of the nature of the thread most here are struggling with infertility, but it doesn’t mean ‘infertile’ as a dead end.

You can read the definition of infertility on the NHS website for a better understanding. Hope you hear back from your GP soon.

I was told to wait for my first period after birth control so that you can get to understand your cycle better but I don’t think there’s any other reason why you would need to wait. Good luck to you 🥰

Welcome 🤗 so I had my coil removed last year had some cramping after it was taken out but that’s it (hurts a lot less than when it’s put in). The doctor said we could start trying straight away as the coil is meant to be one of the contraception’s where your ‘fertility’ immediately returns so you could get pregnant before you even have a period if you ovulate. From personal experience it look me 3 months to get a period but I have pcos and don’t have regular cycles so I think that played into it a lot more than the coil.
The only advice I would give is try and not to get too involved in ovulation and testing etc and just try and enjoy the process, (easier said than done). Good luck 💕
 
3 DPO and reading into signs a little too much 🙈 Apologies for TMI, for the past 2 days I’ve had really creamy CM, which I’ve never had before! My CM is usually very dry, even after ovulation 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
AF sent me her little brown placeholder this morning (sorry TMI). So I’m out again.
Im gutted, which seems ridiculous as it’s not like we’ve been trying for ages and ages but at the same time I really did think this was our time. Hard not to compare to friends who conceived so quickly (obviously Happy for them, just gets in my head).
but, we move. Shall indulge in a margarita this weekend, at least 🍸

I agree completely, I thought the exact same thing when I read your post - try to have sex 2-3 times a week and enjoy it and try not to worry about anything else, there really isn't any need for your first few months at least 😊 I think I need to take my own advice because I am too focused on the fertile window and I think regular sex throughout would give me a better chance. After the heatwave though 🥵😂 good luck lovely 💕
