Hey how are u all?

Sorry bout the witch Mel

Well af is a day late today but not getting my hopes up. I am only up 3hrs and could go back to bed but have to go to work instead. Was also watching this morning and they were making xmas wreaths and I was sitting like a blubbering wreck like wtf

 

[lisey]

Oohh, Dolly I am a little bit excited for you. Getting emotional, tired and a day late...could be promising. How long will you leave it before you test?
I cried watching good morning Britain today, they had a really young guy that developed Alzheimer's, really upset me, felt so sad for him and his parents xx

Hi girls, Am I allowed to join here? I know I've just been preg and haven't been TTC as long as some others but I definitely feel in the shit boat atm.
I started TTC December 2013 and at first my cycles were really long and irregular. I had two chemical pregs. During summer my cycles started to go stupidly short at times, such as 14 days, 17 days etc. Sometimes I then had a random 35 day cycle in the middle of this.
Had midcycle bleeding twice, one of these times it was nothing and AF came on time and one of these times was the cycle I got my BFP. Just had a m/c at 10+2 :'( and OH and I are wanting to get back up and keep going in the hope we get a sticky bean soon. I can't help thinking my out of whack hormones have caused it :/

So basically, my cycles were everywhere before my bfp and I'm expecting them to be everywhere after my mc now. Thinking of taking agnus castus just to regulate my cycles. Do any of you use this?
Feeling pretty gutted I'm now at the year mark with no sticky bfp :'( I hate TTC!
Oh,and I have a feeling I don't ovulate every month, just something I suspected due to ov pains. Also had an ovarian cyst removed a few years ago and they took most of my left ovary away.
Oh..I had cycle day 1-5 bloods and they were fine. Didn't end up having cd21 bloods, I know I must ovulate at least sometimes obviously to get preg though. OH's sperm analyses was great. Had a horrid doctor who made me feel rubbish as I'm 21 (almost 22) and OH 24 (almost 25) apparently we are too young and should be out having fun! Was debating going down treatment route before I got my BFP but dont think theyd let me now I have proved I can get a BFP as they made it difficult in the first place, also our area only funds clomid not iui or ivf or anything like that. So think I will be trying naturally for as long as I can stand- here's hoping it doesn't take me another 10 months to get a BFP!

Oh Millielaura, I am so sorry, of course you can join the ship. Sending you lots of virtual hugs xx
I did use agnus castus for a few months, it helped with some issues, spotting between periods and my progesterone levels were higher when on it, it does take a few months to take full effect. I did find I was ovulating a day early whilst on them so I stopped as I wanted to ov as close to CD 14 as possible. I had acupuncture and that helped me loads, it can work out pretty expensive but I find it helps my mental wellbeing too (I have history of depression and anxiety). I really hope you're not waiting as long this time xx

 

[millielaura]

thank you xxx
Thats good that it helped with spotting. Hoping it does help me get regular cycles.
Ooh I've always wanted to try acupuncture for my anxiety and panic attacks! Never known where to go etc though xxx

 

[dolly26]

Might hold off til Friday to do a test. I kept checking to see if the witch has arrive and nothing even though I feel like she has. Oh and when foggy won I'm a celeb last night I was getting tearful too like seriously wtf

 

[millielaura]

Hope this is it for you dolly

 

[Dee28]

I have everything crossed dolly!

And I'm so sorry millielaura, big hugs xx I've tried agnus castus and acupuncture and found both helpful so worth a try xx

 

[lisey]

Dolly, I am excited for you

Millielaura, I just typed in acupuncture and the area I live in. Luckily my acupuncturist happens to specialise in fertility and she is just wonderful. I do believe she helped me to get to this point in my IVF journey. I would recommend it xx

[stacesl3]

Yea well done dolly, I had a good feeling this was your bfp!!! So happy for you hun Someone finally getting off this damn boat! You must have been so shocked after all this time, did you do anything different this month? any symptoms?
xx

 

[dolly26]

The only thing different I did was drink lots of water cause my new place of work the air is really dry and so u need to drink lots. Symptoms just emotional, needing to pee and itchy boobs but other than that I feel totally normal
