Trying to conceive/Planned parenthood/Assisted Reproduction Chat thread.

Hi ms, I've already had a bilateral laparoscopy and I kind of recognise the signs. Im ok with the surgery as it's minor but I'll be devastated if it means it'll take an age to concieve again. I'm going to wait until my period is due and then talk to the doc as I'll know if I'm pregnant or not

Are you having any treatment at the moment Yellow Hen?

No they were two dermoid cysts and they were removed successfully. I then got pregnant a few months later and actually haven't thought about them since. My periods are quite painful again also so intuition tells me they're back. At the time I got them removed I was told that they shouldn't have affected our fertility so it might be just coincidence that we got pregnant or else the positioning of the cysts was obstructing something

Period on day 21?!! Cycle always 29-31 days ?

I gave up trying to figure out my cycle a long time ago. I'm 7dpo now and still hopeful for this month.

I've given up trying to work out my cycles at this stage, anything can go ha!!

I'm in a bit of a dilema this month, I'm due to ovulate between 4th-10th July, I conceived my son on 8th July which would mean if I did fall pregnant this month I'd be due on my son's 3rd birthday or there abouts, not sure I'd want to be heavily pregnant or recovering from a birth ( especially if I had another section) on his birthday. Then again do I want to waste a month of trying, I dunno

Good luck Yellow Hen x

For me, I'll take the pregnancy whenever it comes if I conceived this month my son will be 2 the exact time I'd be due....what a present for him

Day 22 here. Got as close to a positive as I ever get on an opk yesterday. It was less dark today so I'm assuming that was the surge. Will test again tomorrow to be sure because I think I was a little later last month. Trying to follow the sperm meets egg plan, I'd say himself doesn't know what hit him.

I'd say go for it for what it's worth - you will ways find it in yourself to spoil him on his birthday - and at that age it doesnt take much to make them feel special! If u waste a month u might wonder what if? I thought a lot about timing of conception but think realistically if I try to plan it to a time it'll never happen - as in this is month 5/6 this time and negative so think will just keep going until I'm gifted with a positive result! Regardless if what's going on I think.
Honestly as YH said he's be so delighted and excited if it happened that way I doubt he'd notice

Good luck with the sperm meets egg plan roesy! Wish I wasn't too lazy to try it!!

Sorry to hear that dublinlady, it's such a pain when it comes so early, used to happen me on a very rare occassion but then I often had a 42 day cycle after, don't know why, my norm is 27 days. A good rant is often needed, had one with my friend last night, she prob thought I'd never shut up!!!! The joys of being a woman.

Ms2011 I wouldn't give up on a month, this could be your month and wouldn't it be a really nice present for you son, a beautiful little brother or sister! With pregnancies you can never tell you might go a week early or a week late who knows!

Never heard of the sperm meets egg plan, sounds interesting??? Don't have much energy on these trigger shots though, do I need lots of energy??

Yeah we have been doing that Neyite, might try the night after that too just incase! I do lie flat for 15-20mins after too, should I be putting legs in the air and all that too or is there any point??

I used to just put a pillow under my bum for 10 mins:)

I also used preseed aswell which I found good too.

Never heard of preseed, sorry, what is it?

A conception-friendly lubricant! It's supposed to mimic your natural secretions so it helps sperm get to their destination

I've joined weight watchers this week, need to start getting serious about losing weight as I don't think it's going to happen for us otherwise - and obviously I want to be healthier for pregnancy

Maybe coincidence but I conceived using preseed. Using it again this time too. 8dpo and trying not to think about it BUT what if....

I conceived with the preseed also!


Ok so this is written and tmi but I'm so confused... This period is sooo heavy - day 21 and passing large clots etc. Much bigger than ever had in a period - similar to when I had a miscarriage. On day 21 that's not even possible and my head is just confused.. Like what's going on! It took 10 months for period to come back after baby number 2, then it did and was 29-31 days every month for 5 and now this?
I know just onwards and upwards but I'm very confused!

Any stresses in your life at the moment (other than ttc;)), I had 2 exceptionally short but heavy periods on the run up to my wedding in March, was panicing that I'd have AF for the wedding but she left the day before thankfully
