At this point I want a baby but I really really want a baby girl esp I am doing IVF and PGT but but but gender selection is illegal there argh!

Treens, those are some solid attempts there! Well done! Are you feeling better now? Fingers crossed for you this month!! A week to go till you can test?

Hey one little- sorry about your son.. glad he is better and recovered .
oh great you have ivf option.. good luck with the appointment. I lightly mentioned to my husband about it once and it was a big No from him .. i was thinking to look into it from home country as its much cheaper than here in London but yes both countries don’t do gender selection.

I got little bit unwell plus ramadan and kids off from school.. was all too much for me for the past weeks.. feel really exhausted..

Thank you I hope it is too, TTC is hard in so many ways.

I am CD18 5 DPO feeling a bit crampy.

Had my DR apt. yesterday because i wanted to get blood tests to see if anything else health wise is going on since i have been so sick this winter. My dr. Is sending me but told me to wait 2 weeks because Covid has been confusing blood tests and then i won't have to do them again she also said if i do fall pregnant to message and she would send me prenatal blood work up too. I also asked her if she can refer me to a fertility dr. she said she would if i am not pregnant this cycle, she said since i have been pregnant before it shouldn't be an issue but I want to stay on top of it because each month i will have less and less eggs.

Good luck with this cycle.. praying this is your month xx great you are getting good fertility consultations there.

and Thank you. xx I do hope i see +ve soon.. feel a bit down at times about this whole ttc journey but trying to be positive.. I see everyone around me getting preg and get the exact gender they wished.. ssoo happy for them at the same time am like where is my turn [emoji17]..




atomic- I have an appointment coming up for US - tranvaginal . would that help to see if there is block or growths in the tube? doc said that’s the last thing they would do for my fertility.. if they dont see anything.. he said he will refer me to a gyno but i hope it’s through nhs and not private

Well, it's the next step, and can help check for things like fibroids or endometriosis.
But to truly see if there were blockages in tubes they'll need to do the full HSG test. This should be covered by NHS but you might have to wait some time for it. (they honestly should be having this test for you by this point!!!)

Thank you. The scan is in 2 weeks. if they cannot see anything, I will also try and ask for HSG.

I will also try and get this done in summer from India if I am visiting again this year. I will try and do a proper private fertility examination from there. Hopefully I fall pregnant before that .. fx fx

Oh goodness, hope you're immune!

Hi guys! I have moved onto here after my first month of TTC. It’s either 3/4 DPO (don’t know exactly if ovulated within 24hrs or after).

Feel very unpregnant, no symptoms (similar to my previous pregnancy with DD) however just got a very bad sore throat which I’m annoyed about!

Jazmin - hopefully your scan date comes around quick! NHS can be great if there’s an emergency with kids but really poor when it comes to referrals for us.

Treens - hope you dodged the flu! FX FX for your attempt

Thanks Jazmin. Feeling better today, thanks. Yes first month of TTC - feeling no symptoms other than my cold in the 2WW. Let’s see how it goes lol, will test 10-14dpo which seems eons away

All the best with your scan and iA it all looks clear and you conceive naturally soon.

Im out CD 3 for me now. TMI but I am having lots of jelly clotting bright red this month. I started myoinositol 3 days ago we will see how we do :)

Fingers crossed for all of you!

treen. sorry AF showed up.. but all the best with new cycle. am not sure about clots but keep an eye if you are worried. fx for you xx


I have lost about 2kg with fasting.. not sure if that is going to impact my boy sway. Also we couldn’t bd at all for the whole month [emoji31].. there was no time or chances .. so long gaps of bd .. looking at these both.. I dont know what to do with next cycle? we cannot bd during fasting time and once broken .. I feel like a whale after drinking a glass of juice… lol .. plus DH gets back from mosque really late so i fall asleep.. then we wake up early morning and fasting starts again. Bd at mid night means mandatory shower before 4am and that is not fun when it is still cold here [emoji23][emoji23].. so for many reason we just didn’t get the chance to bd at all!!

I am still taking supps but missing here and there too while fasting but if i forgot it once.. i missed it until next day.. so not regular either.

so thinking if i should skip may cycle while regulating everything.. and bd from june? .

There have been several people here who, after doing a blue sway a long time and not getting pregnant, lost some weight and then did still get pregnant with a boy! This can happen!

I think that when you've been at it as long as you have, you need to try every month. Do not skip this month. We just can't know if this is a good egg, and the next several months may not be!

Hi atomic.

ok .. thank you. I was on the fence.. thinking if I should or not.. I will go ahead and attempt. yes.. I didn’t want to skip any months and wanted to attempt until we goto India but ramadan came in between and it became impossible..

50 or 100 whichever you prefer. Some people believe, because it can lower blood sugar a little, that 50 is safer for their blue sway. I think that as long as you guys are eating regular meals it doesn't matter and cannot lower your blood sugar because you've always got food coming in. We have good results with coq10 and I've used that since the start of the site.

Hey.. Good luck !! keep us updated.

I am waiting for AF.. to start my attempt cycle
after fasting month. Due soon, could be tomorrow.

Thank you LMSM I appreciate it :))) Are you excite that July is coming quickly?

Jazmin I hope it comes quick so you are able to try.

Wishing all the blue for both of you!

AF arrived last night.. couple of minutes after my post [emoji23].. so my cycle officially started.. and I will hear from doc next week .. so nervous about that too..

Oh gosh Jazmin, to be honest I'm hoping they find something obvious and fixable! It can be frustrating when they find no explanation. Keeping fingers crossed for good outcome, pregnancy or an explanation.

yes U r right.. I rather find out the cause and go through the treatments.

thank you [emoji3531]

Treens, those are some solid attempts again!!! Hope to hear BFP from you this time FXFXFX!!
Welcome back Jazmin! What exams are you going to have? I hope you get a good doc and find your answer soon!
LMSM are you starting attempting blue this july? 2 more months to go! You can have all my blue dust :cool:

As for me, I am at CD2 and officially started my IVF cycle today! we had our first appointment two weeks ago and since we are here already we decided to extend our trip and kick start the treatment. I will have 3 days of injections and next visit to monitor egg development on the 8th. I brought my 2 boys with me and all the docs and nurses asked "are you trying for a girl?" (can't be more obvious right :giggle:) But hubby and I agreed that we will only try 1 cycle because the cost doing ivf abroad is too high. If we fail at least we tried our best. My AFC this cycle is 13 so hopefully that they are all healthy and growing!

Best of luck onelittlewish, that is such exciting news!

I am now 5dpo.
We got a appointment with a fertility specialist on the 10th they are letting us in before my husbands SA because they are behind by 9 weeks so we are waiting on an appointment for that. I hope i just find out i am pregnant before the appointment. Im glad I am able to get it. I really don't know what to expect but I will see :)

Thank you so much. The test is just an internal scan for the pelvic area. I will try to call later today and see if the results are with GP.. probably not yet. Usually they text to book an appointment if there is anything to discuss within 7- 10 working days .. its been a week but its only been 4 working days [emoji23][emoji23] as there was a bank holiday plus weekend lol.. I thought to give a ring and see if the receptionist gives me an appointment booked for later [emoji16] just impatient lol

Wishing you all the best with your cycle. where are doing it from? have you traveled somewhere for ivf or is it local to you?

Treens - Fingers crossed for you! You can test already before your appointment right around Mon/Tue? I really hope you can get your BFP and doesnt need to go through all the fertility testings. They are exhausting! I will be going in to see how my eggs are growing on Mon...and probably will know the date for retrieval if all goes well. Im nervous...I've been stuffing myself with high protein and healthy fats and eating around the clock but still worried that I am not doing enough. Kind of stressed because we only have this one chance and sometimes it takes a few rounds of IVF if there are more underlying issues. I hope sperm quality is the only prob we have and I am as healthy as I can be.

Jazmin - wow it really takes a long time to get a consultation after your test! Is this done in UK? are you doing more tests in India? We travelled back to my hometown in Taiwan for the cycle. We booked a consultation when we came back for holiday and I just extended my trip to start the cycle so that we don't have to fly back again. After retrieval I will go back home and come back in July during kid's school holiday for the transfer - at least that's the plan. We get government subsidy for our cycle (up to 6x actually) but that barely covers our travel cost so we cannot afford another cycle abroad...hopefully we can succeed with this one try.

OneLittle - Wish you the best and praying it to be successful in the first cycle. yes, it does take time here if we are doing through NHS and private is expensive here. I would have gone through private if I was also working but with just hus working and covering every single expenses in the family.. we cannot afford to go private in the UK at the moment. With NHS , the wait for an appointment takes few weeks to months, then the results goes to our registered doctor, they don’t give or tell us anything about it… it takes upto 2 weeks for the doctor to look at it , so i called on Friday and they said , doc haven’t looked at it yet.. so still waiting for doc to check my scan report and get back to me.. they asked me to call after one week if not heard anything from doctor.. usually they say.. no news is good news.. so if i dont get a text from doc in 10-15 days means scan reports came back normal.. if doc wants discuss something that he seen in the reports.. they sent a text asking book an appointment.. but i was thinking to call again on Friday again and ask.. sometimes they takes time.. or waits for us to follow up. its all free so the cost is the time i guess [emoji36]… so yes regardless.. I will be doing more tests and consult a fertility specialist in India and trust me it is so much better service is in India.. in the state i am from .. when it comes to private health care.. and so much cheaper.
all prayers for your cycle xx

Hi ladies!

The TTC journey just seems like a long waiting game for everything. Fingers crossed it will be worth the wait fo all of us :)

I tested 11 dpo and nothing I have lots of cramping since yesterday to I think she is on her way no point to testing. Our appointment is tomorrow we will see how that goes.

I feel like my cycles before were 28-30. Now they have been 30,28,27,24,26 I am currently cd 26. Are my cycles getting too short? I seem to still be getting positive OPK mid cycle?

yes… I am more
anxious after each cycle .. hoping more this cycle as this will be my first cycle after fasting and hoping something in my body had changed with fast lol.

fx for you.. praying u get positive.. sometimes 11dpo is still early fxfx

FX FX FX ladies!
Is it me or is the site suuuuupppppeer quiet?
Haven't even seen Atomic around much... are all the swayers on the private forum? (I can't access it even though I should be able to :( so maybe that's where it's all at haha)

Im still here :) I feel the same way LMSM

AF arrived for me yesterday.

I did have a consult at the specialist wednesday and I have to get CD3 and 20 bloodwork done and an ultrasound this month. So at least we will find out if anything else could be wrong. Im glad on the timing it would have sucked if we had the meeting next week missing CD3 blood work. So the timing is good.

How is everyone else feeling/ doing?

We need to get some accounts activated. Tons of people want to take part and they can't post. :/
