March 2021 testing thread

[LuckyLaura]

Ive never experienced implant bleeding in previous pregnancys , and I don't normally get my lines using morning pee always shows late afternoon? I just don't get if it is implant bleeding why is it so late ? Awaiting gp to ring as I'm so confused lol , xx

I do know some ladies don't get it some pregnancies and then do in some so I wouldn't say because you've not had it last time you were pregnant that it rules it out. I hope you get some answers, sorry I can't be more helpful.

The only thing I do know is our bodies follow their own rules hahah x

@Summertime get the One Step ones from Amazon you get bundle packs of like 15, 20 etc

@Mrsbridge17 aw I'm sorry to hear you have AF at the moment. Sucks BUT at least you are in a fresh new shiny cycle!

I am a hormonal mess today but I think its because I stopped breastfeeding and I'm still getting rid of my milk supply and my hormones are EVERYWHERE. I also have a lot of pressure with uni deadlines and just a whole bunch of other stupid things but they're niggling at me. I just had lunch and a shower and feel like a human again!!

Currently trying to referee as the girls fight over toast x

@LuckyLaura are you continuing feeding her or straight up cold turkey? I have heard of ladies taking Sudafed to dry up I don’t know how true it is that it works but if you stuck to correct dosage I can’t see it being a risk or anything.

I’m really upping the game this month and have been taking soya isoflavones to see if it brings my ovulation earlier and am being religious with pre natals eating lots of fish green veg and lean beef. I’m getting a bit sad now of tormenting myself every month symptom spotting for it to be nothing. I fell pregnant so easily with Amelia and feel like I may have depleted all of my nutrients by breastfeeding so long it’s probably utter crap but something has to have altered and I don’t know what! X

I reduced the feeding over about a week and a half and I haven't fed her directly for about a week but I did have to pump to get rid of a block and my milk supply just isn't going fast enough so I'm ending up in pain then having to express to stop blocks and obviously thats just communicating to my body that someone drank the milk haha I do give it to her in her cup but still. She is 100% formula fed basically now. I think I just need to wait it out a bit longer.

Soya isoflavones? That sounds interesting. I wonder if I took some would they kick start my periods haha I don't want to mess around but at the same time im sooo impatient.
I definitely think pregnancy and breastfeeding does suck you dry, literally. I was falling to pieces for a while there and I struggle with my iron levels on a good day. It does have an impact on your body to make the milk, especially if you arent getting the calories and nutrients you need- i definitely havent been. I fell pregnant with Pari super quick- we literally said okay lets have a baby and my next period didn't arrive xx

Omg @LuckyLaura literally the same thing happened to me Jamie said let’s get you pregnant then and he bloody well did lol!

Soy isoflavones can mess with a cycle, I have taken them this month to see if it does anything. I ovulate extremely late last month was CD23, an improvement on the month before but still too late as my LP was 7 days . I wonder if your GP could give you something to help them return. Xx

hahaha It's funny how that happens. I remember when I told him I was pregnant and his face fell and I was instantly gutted. I was like omg but you wanted this? and he was like yeah but I wanted more sex first...hahaha when I'm pregnant I get so ill so he knows he won't get any for ages hahaha

I think I'll leave it be tbh as I only just stopped breastfeeding and also my littlest one is only 8 months old- my period took 6 months to come back for my first and I didnt breastfeed her so I figure its normal for my body. Im a great believer in letting my body sort itself and not meddling too much. I find that the more you meddle you can actually make it worse and also you just stress yourself out. I just need a cure for impatience now? haha x

@LuckyLaura yeah I know the feeling I had gestational diabetes last time and it was horrendous don’t know why I’m in a hurry to do it again!

Haha a cure for impatience! Well it sounds as though you’ve plenty to keep you busy x

 

[flowerbomb]

@Mrsbridge17 ah yes see I have two total mummys girls haha my husband is gutted. I actually relate to that so much, I don't know if I would either!!

@Summertime aww I'm glad he has come round. I just need to convince my husband to have #4. I mean, we are going to have to buy a 7 seater. Would be rude not to fill the seats

@Clarkecharm totally, I felt that way completely. I always said to my husband that if we have 4 kids and they're all boys but 1 girl I'm happy. I just wanted ONE girl at least. I've been lucky to get two

@flowerbomb hahaha same gender is so economic isn't it? We realised that we basically had enough clothes to dress twins, maybe even triplets with my first daughter so my 2nd has had brand new clothes with tags on that weren't even worn by my first and shes 8 months old and Ive not had to buy her anything. Of course Ive picked up a few bits and pieces cuz...it would be illegal not to We definitely chatted back then, I remember your name! Also I'm a bit lost cuz ive just come to things, you got a positive hpt??? xx

I'm sorry I can't remember your name , I'm rubbish with names
I had a MC 2 and half weeks ago. I'm being monitored weekly on Saturdays to check my hgc levels are decreasing, but its being very slow. I took another hpt test this morning and its still positive so I'm not at 0 yet.

I am shattered @LuckyLaura i just want AF to be over and not drag it out again so I can start opk tracking!

How are you? Xx

How are you getting on with the SI? have you upped your dosage yet? Xx

 

[flowerbomb]

I would love a cure for impatience and overthinking

 

[Mrsbridge17]

How are you getting on with the SI? have you upped your dosage yet? Xx

I took 2 days 80mg and have taken 1 day 120mg I’m not sure if it’s related at all but I’ve a cracking headache today and I am to put it frankly sweating my tits off! It’s a natural alternative to clomid so maybe that’s what it’s supposed to do x

Yeah possibly related, hopefully the side effects lessen for you. How long have you to take them for? Xx

CD2-6 I’m on 5 so two more to go as I take them at night to minimise any side effects. It honestly could be down to the wine I had last night it wouldn’t normally affect me this way though x

 

[flowerbomb]

Haha maybe a combination of both xx

 

[Mrsbridge17]

Haha maybe a combination of both xx

I had a bad day at work and thought sod it im off tomorrow and on AF zero chance of a little bubba in there I’m having some x
