Hi all, we've decided to actively start ttc after a few obstacles in summer. I had the mirena coil out in may and got af from 19th June to 3rd August with two days stopped in the middle so that was tough going. Got a normal af for 7 days the end of Aug until early sept but I think we missed the ovulation window this month so just waiting for af again should all go to plan. I do have pcos but hoping it doesn't raise its head!! Looking forward to the journey ahead

Fingers crossed it doesn’t come up. Good luck with it all!

this month ive taken a very planned approach to TTC.. im tracking cycle with ovulation kit for the first time..which showed a smiley face on CD13 & ive done acupuncture last week and ive planned to do it for the next 2 weeks to see how things go. im hoping since I got the smiley face on cd13 my cycle might be regulating a bit....last month it ended up being 37days .. should be on 1dpo now so fingers crossed for 2 weeks time !

i've just started acupuncture too, have my second one this eve

Hi all. Just a bit of info I thought I should share with ye. I had a scan thinking I was 7 weeks pregnant but they told me I am actually 11 weeks. Which means I got a normal period the first month I was pregnant. I have also had further spotting and bleeding but the baby looks perfectly healthy at the moment. Just sharing this in case it helps any of you. Good Luck.

Yes it was a bit of a shock but once all is well that's all that matters

No I wasn't doing anything. Only started trying in May so was just seeing what happened for a while

Thanks. The very best of luck and I hope everything goes well! That’s like my best case scenario-lose a month of worry ðŸ˜œ

mirrorwall14 · 06-10-2017 05:52PM

Body seems to be having a wtf moment this month. ECM for my 5th day straight today. My OPKs aren't actually working (bad batch), I ran out of the ones that were. My temps are very strange. I'm testing out a yono in parallel to my thermometer. The Yono temps are proper nuts low e.g. 95??. My normal thermometer is bobbing down load in the 97's. Am I ovulating this week? I'm supposed to be. But who really knows! lol

Toots · 06-10-2017 05:59PM

Just have loads of sex anyway! Everyone's a winner :pac:

Hi everyone,

Currently going through CP # 2 and have previously had a MC. All consecutive, no successful pregnancies to date.

Has anyone else been here? Is there any hope? Was on progesterone and baby aspirin this time but didn't make any difference. Going to my GP next week to discuss where to go from here.

Can anyone offer any hope? 37 and low amh but seem to get pregnant reasonably easily. Just can't sustain one.

Was trying to believe it really was just bad luck but I think it's unlikely at this stage.

Edit to add had all the standard blood tests after 2nd loss but nothing showed up and have also had a full thrombophilia screening too which was normal.

Just to give an update on this post, unexpectedly got pregnant again on the next cycle and will be 7 weeks tomorrow. Have a scan booked for next weekend and am crossing everything that there’s a heartbeat! Nervous times m, wishing away the weeks.

Best of luck to all x

Lol @ Tootsz, gotta say that's what we are trying this week!haha!! He came back to bed and got down to it- was a bit weird I gotta say cuz we couldn't kiss with this cold sore but he seemed determined lol which is nice in a way I guess.

Congrats hopeful2016!!! Everything crossed for you and keep us posted x

Lol. My horribly low libido is pissed with me. Four times in a week and not sure if that’s actually hit the window?! Meh :eek:

xDisneyDivax · 08-10-2017 01:36PM

Four times in week should hit it though- if you want to boost chances you can always force your libido to shut up and do it

lol

lunamoon · 10-10-2017 10:28AM

My period isn't due until Friday/Saturday but I'm getting my usual pain in my right shoulder before it comes so think it must be coming early this month.

lunamoon · 15-10-2017 04:20PM

Got my period

I know I haven't been trying very long but I'm already feeling really deflated, drained and like there's something wrong with me.

I think I'll take next month off from trying.

Neyite · 16-10-2017 10:38PM

Really sorry to hear that luna. It can get very mechanical and stressful very quickly, and it's probably the most unsexy you feel at the time.

I had 29 unsuccessful cycles, and for the last three, was on Clomid. So for the third, I was already resigned to the Clomid not working and doing my research on the next fertility ladder. I actually didn't realise how much of a mental load it was until.. well.. I got the positive test and that mental load was gone. It is hard and if you need to just be kind to yourself and not think about it, that's what you need to do.

How long are you trying? do you think it would help after your break to start the GP bloods/ preliminary referrals? Sometimes it can help to 'do' something about it - other times it doesn't but you are the best judge of how you feel right now.

I’m sorry lunamoon, that’s tough.

Cycle 6 nearly over for me and the temps and negative test this morning tell me i’ll be on my period like clockwork on Wednesday. Cycle 7 here I come.

Currently playing with a Yono an amazing Canadian sent me for free. Temps have been decent, clear ovulation. My own order temp drop is with customs unfortunately so I guess I’ll spend cycle 7 playing with data. The maths teacher in me likes data

mirrorwall14 · 21-10-2017 09:02PM

Cycle 7 for me, 11 since we started. Tempdrop arrived and I’m disappointed because I really don’t like it, it’s uncomfortable and leaves a mark on my arm. Way too much money to not try it I guess

GaGa21 · 28-10-2017 04:02PM

Another failed cycle for me. 10 months of tracking, opks, timing sex. And that's not including the months of whatever happens happens. I started accupuncture 2 months ago thinking that would do the trick so it's hard to take.
I had my AMH blood test done yesterday and booked in for internal scan on Wednesday. Go from there then and see if there's anything else I can do. It's just so disappointing.

I know the feeling

I'm not actively trying as long as you but I feel so disheartened already. We needed to take this month off for a medical reason and I hope the break from a schedule will do us good.

Has anyone here been diagnosed with endometriosis? And if so did you go on to conceive?

I have endo and am still trying to conceive, I am stage 4 and in my late thirties. But I know of plenty of women with endo who have conceived naturally. Have you had a recent diagnosis?

lunamoon · 09-11-2017 03:57PM

I have been getting a pain in my right shoulder before my period is due since I came off the pill which is a symptom. My doctor sent me for the regular blood tests to rule out everything else before sending me for a laparoscopy. In the meantime, I had some bleeding from my umbilical and they removed a clot which they just informed me was endometriosis.

Yes, a laparoscopy is really the only way of a definitive diagnosis. Please join the EAI group on Facebook (Endometriosis Association of Ireland) if you haven't already. You will find lots of information and support from other endo women. Be as informed as you can going to your consultant as unfortunately the treatment in Ireland is not as advanced/specialised as in other countries. So the more prepared you are to ask questions, then you can make decisions that are right for you, especially if you plan to conceive.

lunamoon · 10-11-2017 09:48AM

Doctor is referring me to a gyane for a lap. He said if I had it at my belly button there's a good chance I have it elsewhere.

Just to provide a final update on this as I’m closing this account, currently 12 weeks pregnant and all going well. Had dating scan during the week and baby is measuring right on target and was kicking and waving around. Hard to believe really we have made it to this stage.

Wishing you all the best of luck xx
