@dd1001 I'm good, just putting my bboy to sleep, gonna warm up in bath as I'm feeling cold todaynd then will study. Maybe have a glass of prossecco at the end before dh gets home. And how are u? @PinkSnow410 how are u holding up, ur not far! Did u bd only as it says on ur chart or some more than that?
@MadDoda I'm not great at tracking BD with fertility friend. I only use that to share charts bc they easier to read than my femometer. But we only BD 3 times around ovulation and one probably was too soon before and another too late. I don't think I have a shot this month but ya know I'll never give up hope completely.
@dd1001 I'm good! Staying busy. Work all day today ahhh
Thank you @PinkSnow410@maddoda I also tried vitex last year July to December and right after I stopped taking it I conceived but then mc at 8 weeks. I wonder if it helped conceive. They say it is good for those with progesterone issues. I am considering taking it again.
@Herestohoping I got no knowledge of this things. I'm sure trying things will do no harm and may help.
I'm a bit depressed today, my hormones are out of control. It is really weird as I should have them all good before ovulation. Instead it's like before period. I'm trying to stay positive and I'm so cheery for everyone else, but as for myself I have increasing doubts. Maybe I should just drop it all, stop tracking stop thinking just have sex and forget. I think I'm passed my time, bloody thyroid must be playing with me again. It's so frustrating with stupid doctors. Sometimes I have unstoppable libido, sometimes I have unreasonable rage outbreaks, other time I'm depressed. I sleep so badly and fatigue is kicking in to the point I can't focus on studying, I'm falling asleep on books. I hoped b12 will help, but it didn't really for the first time. Should I just ignore doctors and increase the dose. It's so annoying when they are so blinded by blood results they forget about actual patient well-being.
Sorry for the rant, I just had no-one to talk to. After all this mcs I just don't see it happening anymore.
It’s amazing how much us newbies have learned , of never even heard of BBT until a month ago and I’m nearly 40 ! Thanks @MadDoda & @PinkSnow410 . I hope to get to your level and help others too ! @Catlady220 think it’s a good month for you ! 🤞
@PinkSnow410 thank you I hear the same. Think I will try it again as it must not have harmed me if I conceived. Hope you are feeling OK?
@maddoda I hear you. Sorry that you are feeling this way. To be honest I often feel many of the things you are feeling and I go in to quite a dark place. It's really hard. I'm content and blessed on so many things as you are.. Family.. Husband/partner. We do need to remember how blessed we are already.. But it's all relevant and your feelings are valid dear. Just try to remember that there are good days and bad ones and this is just one of the bad ones. You are a bad ass woman who is ambitious and clever and there is nothing you can't do though. Please try to keep the faith xx
@Wishingforbaby3 it's so bad, my first month I was noticing every tiny thing and then googling frantically. This month I'm just assuming it's all pms and ignoring the little voice in my head that keeps going 'but what if...', still hard though!
I’m currently going through this! It’s tough because I almost wish AF would just arrive to put me out of misery! At least then I can get started tracking for the next month!
@maddoda sending you so much love. You can always pm me if you need to vent. I understand those doubts and questions. I go thru that myself very often and @Herestohoping is right, we are all blessed but our feelings are valid and we need to express them. Love to you
@MadDoda sometimes we need to vent just to be able to move on and get back to positive. I know how hard it is to think about a successful pregnancy after a miscarriage but you have a gorgeous little boy who is prod that good things can follow bad. Tomorrow is a new day x
@MadDoda you do push yourself very hard - kick boxing , study , ttc , young child, a thyroid problem and helping everyone! I hope you have enough down time to recharge ? The mc’s take it out of you too . Mine hit me randomly and I cry uncontrollably. It reminds me I’ve buried the emotion and it bubbles up when I least expect it. You’ve had that to deal with mentally and physically recently. I know your thyroid makes things a lot harder but you are still young at 30 and you can conceive, you’ve proven that. It’s just a numbers game to get the sticky one. I hope there’s more help you can find here or back in your home country for your condition. I can ask around for top thyroid consultants if you like - a lot of my mates are doctors ? I appreciate it’s £££ though We all have these down days when we think it will never happen and it’s our right to have those days ! You are wonderful and a fighter and you have got this though and you’ll get your bfp , until then , we love you and we are here for you x
Thanks ladies, my family is the only thing, which keeps me sane. I may top up hormone dose and see if it helps my mood swings. I have no time for this mess, pile of material to study is increasing fast. I treated myself to take away and gonna have prosecco. I'm sure I will feel much better tomorrow. I don't know what I would do without u. There are things I don't want to trouble my dh with, he is going through a lot himself and I can't overload him. Somehow o have no friend to talk to about all this lol. @PinkSnow410 I may take u up on that offer tho! Don't regret it later haha.
@Cloudrainbow I actually decreased my expectation of myself recently by quoting my job. Until now I was pushing full time job and full time uni all the way until labour and then I return to university after two weeks. When u have the time ticking it's hard to keep anything for later, I'm forced to do all at once. And I perform more efficiently if I'm busy, otherwise I turn into a sloth. Kickboxing is my personal time I would never give away... I don't think I need recharging tho, I'm coping very well. I honestly it's my thyroid making my life harder. It is rly bad when u have more knowledge about thyroid function than a gp. Thanks for the offer, but I rather go see my specialist back on my country, who first diagnosed me 5 years before any Dr here acknowledged my problem lol. I know I'm 30, but my health troubles multiplied since I gave birth, and I don't think my age have any input in all this mess. I was warning my dh that it may happen before we started trying for the first time. My predictions are rarely wrong I'm afraid... Well I will keep trying, one way or another. And I will definitely stay here to support you guys!
Evening ladies, how are we all? After sleeping nearly all day I'm almost feeling better. Flushing out my kidneys like a trooper with lots of water so I don't end up with an infection. Sigh. @MadDoda sorry you're having a rough time, we're all here for you whenever you need to rant x
