Glad everyone is still around š stay positive everyone!
@SwithR a low count is better than no sperm. Think positively. You could still have a perfectly healthy happy pregnancy but with a bit of help. Again I am no expert in this but speak to your doc about it. They will be able to give options.Ā Can I ask... did your doctor do tests happily with it only been 4 months of trying?Ā
Still here also! Canāt believe we are on to part 3! @Sunshine8888 Iām still having on off cramps as well who knows whatās happening š¤·š½āāļø
@SwithR I know itās sucks but at least you know now what the issue is and can hopefully do something about it. Ā Here in England we canāt even go to the doctors for tests unless weāve been ttc for a whole year (or 6 months if over 35)! Try and think positive š
Ye I really hate this because I want to go to the doctor about it but have a feeling they wonāt even entertain the idea until Iāve been trying longer. Have you had any experience with this or just read that online?Ā
@Tryingfor#1 Iām here!! CD16 today and OPK was negative. Hopeful it will be positive tomorrow, but we will see. I took my OPK around 12:30 today and itās now 4:00, so Iām contemplating if I should take another tonight or just wait until tomorrow since my temp was down today instead of upĀ
No harm in taking another, it will only add to your evidence š thatās how I look at it. Ha!Ā
Checking in! AF due today, but no show yet! Iām having some cramping and definitely feel like sheās on the way, but hoping she isnāt. Iām going to test in a few days if she doesnāt show. My last cycle was barely 28 days but Iām still not positive how long theyāll be. I was never very long between 26-30 days, so Iāll wait a few more and test. Youād think after two kids Iād know what pregnant feels like haha
@Rachel.a21 how did it go?Ā I take one almost daily to monitor and compare for next month. Iām at an all time low at the minute, line is hardly visible!
@Tryingfor#1 Still negative. Iāve been taking 2 a day this week since Iām nearing ovulation. I hope I get a positive within the next couple of days. My app is predicting me to ovulate on SundayĀ
@Rachel.a21 yep just keep going. Itās frustrating but there is no reason you wonāt get the peak. Fingers crossed for you this weekend! Plenty of time yet, although I know we want everything yesterday! š¤£

So the doc wanted us to wait a year, atleast 6 months before prescribing any tests. I expressed my anxiety to conceive and that I was really concerned that if had no happened in 3 or months of active trying. Only then did they agree and prescribe the testsĀ
@Rachel.a21 I just take them when I get back from work about 5.30pm. Ā But when it comes to ovulation week next month Iām going to do 2 per day. Probably lunch time and eveningĀ
@SwithR are you in the UK? Iāve been trying 5 months and have various concerns but I didnāt think they would listen to me.
@dd1001 yep still getting the stabbing pains - it varies from side to side. Also quite a dull ache now across the abdomen. Ā Really hoping today goes quickly - canāt wait for bank holiday weekend! I am going away to see family so hoping Iāll be too distracted to think about it for at least 3 days. Then Iāll have got to 9DPO at least and probably start going crazy again back at work. Ā Planning on a few drinks this weekend - I am firmly in the drink until itās pink camp!Ā
@Elizabeth982 that sounds so frustrating!! Ā Been thinking about BBT a lot and think I may start doing it next cycle...just to make sure I am ovulating in these long cycles Iām having š¬ Iāve been worried about the fact that Iām terrible at sleeping and wake up in the night but maybe thatās just a good time to do it (assuming itās around the same time) otherwise I could Ā do it around 6am before I get up. Ā What thermometer would those that do measure bbt recommend? Iām all about convenience!Ā
Hello ladies good morning. Hope peeps from UK are ready for their long weekends. I am really excited for lake district.
AF due today. Not symptoms spotting and my holiday plan has really helped in staying away from any test. Just having backache alot today so may be she is on the way. I hope if she is coming she should come soon so that i can get a tubal check appointment without any further delay. But if she stay away from me then i will definitely test on 27th.
@SwithR I thought you are in India. Because if you are in India it would be very easy to get any treatment privately. Privates makes things work quickly. Ask your gynae about the next step plus that you don't want to wait for long. Else you can always change your doc and move to some one else. i wish you all the luck on this journey.

Iāve only been temping since day 2 of this current cycle, I ordered my bbt thermometer from eBay, just under Ā£4 inc delivery -although in light of recent events I would recommend buying several in case the battery runs out! Mine only lasted 19 days!! Plus changing the battery wasnāt ideal either, very tricky. I also have erratic and disturbed sleep patterns as my 3 year old still wakes in the night some nights and very early some mornings. As long as you've had at least 3 hours of sleep and donāt move/walk around too much before temping, should be accurate enough. Also.....up until this cycle, my cycles have been 35 days average. But I had a peak opk on cd17 this time (previously app predicted ov on cd 22/23!) which is weird??!! Xx

I am currently in tww at 3dpo. Need to share my frustration tho.......obviously at 3dpo you are waiting to record that 3rd temp rise to confirm ovulation, my frigging thermometer battery ran out halfway through temping!!!!!š”š©š so I changed the battery for the one in my old thermometer (which works but not 2 decimal places) tried again but worried the recording is skewed as I was SO angry and been up and about too getting the other thermometerš sorry for the rant!!!! Love to all xxxx
