That's great that your bloods are normal but still check the levels especially your thyroid function.
I'm useless at CM too. Read conflicting things about preseed so it's all so confusing!

I'm not sure I know which one the thyroid function is on the report

Tft and tsh. There's normal values but for conception they need to be slightly higher apparently.

AF arrived today is fertility friend is right my luteal phase is only 10 days so hope that's not an issue. My cycles are very short which is handy in one way but still so disappointing. On the yet another month!

Shame with Af coming. Definitely good and bad. It's so hard to know

It's hard not to let it get to you. Every month we are so hopeful then nothing. Patient we are not!

No definitely not patient! Terrible really, 4 girls asked me yesterday why in waiting to get pregnant! So annoying!

God they are unreal, although I guess most people don't think that it might not be very straightforward for all of us!

I know are people just blind as to how inconsiderate it is? Taking a couple of months off from really trying til my gynae comes back and i feel so less stressed. I didn't realise how this process creeps up on you until it consumes you

Yep one of the new girls is pregnant, she got married 6 months before me so she started it asking me very bluntly in front of everyone! Then tells me how her husband insisted on them getting pregnant before the first wedding anniversary and BANG job done! She's pregnant stunned I'm not but did mention how as in older that's probably why! Ggggrrrrrrrr

I'm normally quite sarcastic and jokey but 14 hours of this 4 days this week! Enough!

What a geebag!! I'm constantly shocked at people from all areas of life telling me I'd want to hurry up and have a baby. I'm soooo close to snapping at someone, knowing me it will probably be someone in work and I'll cause world war 3 I sit between two new mams in work so five days a week the entirety of all my conversations revolve around baby sleeping, ****ting, eating, puking, photos, videos and them telling me to go have a baby. Ehhhh if only it was that easy!

It's ridiculous! And what shocks me is people do know others who have issues so sensitivity would be my though first. I've a friend having her 5th cycle of Ivf another just after miscarriage so I would never comment! If only it was! I'm such a whinge tonight sorry!!

Whinge away! It's quite helpful to have this to vent on. Better out then in

How infuriating, I am don't know why I'm shocked that women are so insensitive but I am. That's so rude and presumptuous.

Can't imagine if I was really far into treatment or something. One of the girls doesn't want children and said she nearly wore it on a tshirt to stop people asking! The problem of working in a female dominated field!

I know, they are obviously watching every single movement of yours. They are just nosey. Your colleagues are making me really thankful that I don't have any comments.

Scousemouse83

Yeah it gets a bit much! I just don't know how long I can joke it off!
Had a lot of ewcm last night sorry for the TMI. And true to form I spent all night nursing a stomach bug! But getting on with dtd regardless! It's so romantic this ttc!!

Oh you poor thing, hope you feel better.
I know - it's the stuff dreams were made of... not!

Missus had "dildo cam" scan this morning, everything as it should be, good strong heartbeat, both of us teary eyed upon hearing it.

About 6.5 weeks gone.

Bloods normal according to the GP, although I didn't actually get to speak to her just said they were fine in voicemail and that I appear to have ovulated. Progesterone was 50, not sure if that's good bad or different but great that they are normal.
Meubles, I have noticed CM other months but didn't this month so maybe that fluctuates too - long may yours last - preseed is pricey too!!

I'm not sure if someone else has replied to you on this, and not to freak you out, but a GP's version of "normal" and fertility version of normal are quite different. Napro say your progesterone needs to be at least 60 to conceive without risk of miscarriage. I know they are stricter than most, but still worth probing your GP more. I went months thinking I was normal til I realised otherwise, and then quickly went from 28 to 100! Also, GP's idea of normal for thyroid function (below 4) is also way off the fertility recommendation of below 2.

Best of luck!

Exactly what I said. Definitely need to get copies of everything!

Thanks! Scousemouse did give me the heads up that gp version of normal is not always so but didn't realise that re progesterone. My thyroid was 2.4 so not below 2 but not too far off I guess. OH wants to wait for another 6 months before going back to the fertility clinic as they kinda brushed us off saying it can take a year. My periods are very short so I do wonder if it's going to happen easily for us. We're now onto our 8 cycle of trying and we have been timing it well, using preseed so really not sure what else we could do. I am quite stressed in work though so maybe that has an impact. Anyways long winded reply but really appreciate the advice.

Yeah I did - thanks for that as I would never had before. I'm not sure it's worth going back to her if she thinks everything is fine so will probably just give it a few more months then go back to the clinic I guess.
