Thanks Crumble - I'll get my positivity back during the fertile week I am sure!

I got completely fobbed off by the GP today because I am only 7 months into TTC. I'm really upset because the GP would not hear me at all. She didn't listen to my concerns about my short LP or 2 day bleed. Most likely because she had no idea. It's like she heard *7 months* and nothing else filtered through... Alright, fine I'll wait the blasted 12 months. I hope my own interventions (vit B complex and C) will do the trick and I get my bfp before then!

most docters won't help you at all before the 12 month mark...my GP refuses to do any treatment before 1.5yrs (with no bfp) and 2yrs (if you had a miscarriage - because then you are able to get pregnant according to them) - I'm really sorry that they made you feel like this.

I can recommend you try something with Vitex in it, it will soon sort your LP

Thanks KatD I get waiting for the 12 month mark if there are no concerns, but surely if there is a question mark over a LPD? I'm sure a fertility specialist could give me proper advice regarding supplementation!

I have considered vitex, but I might wait to see if the vit B + C does the trick first. From my research vitex is quite strong and can lengthen the overall cycle (which I don't want). I don't know if my progesterone is an issue (oh, maybe some bloods could help with that - lol .. do I sound bitter haha) but will wait and see.

I just need to take some time out and get my positivity back! x

I think i might be ovulating as normal this month, which means i will be testing early, so can i be taken off the 22nd.

Can i now have the 8th

 

[Crumble]

Updated ladies.....a lot of on all of us!!!

Just an update - decided to start vitex lol ... I have been so indecisive lately! The b complex vitamins are making me feel unwell - I'm having headaches, light aversion, a teeny bit of skin rashes and feeling nauseated. So i might halve the dose of b vitamins and start vitex to lengthen my LP. Will be interesting to see how it goes!

My DH saw the GP and he was brilliant, he will do his SA tomorrow and send that off to be tested. That will give us some peace of mind! Now, a funny story... his GP told him to ask me to see a doctor now and start some tests... DH let him know that I was turned away despite my concerns, so his GP (who I think runs the place) is going to speak with the GP I saw and "sort it out." Oops, now it looks like I tattled to the boss! At least we have someone on our side! I'll still wait a few more months and see a different GP if need be.

for all ye August testers!

[Dinkydizzy]

Got my positive OPK this morning so I’m still on track for the 9th, I’m so happy my body seems to be going back to normal!

 

[KatD]

That's awesome news Dinky!!! FX for you for a good outcome this cycle! And a very sticky little bean!

 

[violet13]

I’m an idiot!! I tested early today of course it was bfn I don’t even know why I did it? Xxx

Oh, this has happened to me so many times and every time I hated myself for it. A bfn gives you that 'punched in the gut' feeling and you end up obsessing over that stupid test the whole freaking day, running back and forth, checking it over and over again juuuust incase there is the faintest of lines .... it's normal TTC nutty behavior

don't let one early negative put you off though

Just popping in to say hi to everyone. Depending how this cycle goes, when AF turns up and if I actually have to willpower to wait for 2 cycles (I am not sure I do, I am very impatient) I may well be testing right at the end of August or in September. I will still be stalking this thread though and sending lots of baby dust your way ladies. Fx for you all xx

 

[night owl]

Can I be put down for the 10th please? AF actually due around the 6th or 7th but I’m banning myself from early testing I don’t want the disappointment of a BFN then the craziness of obsessively checking for faint lines! And we didn’t really try very much this month so I’m not too hopeful

Yay smithy so pleased you are on the road to TTC again soon! It’s great to see you on this thread

 

[SmithyBaby]

Thanks night owl! Lots of for you! Hope you get the BFP this cycle! Xx
