@jilly it sucks not knowing what's happening and not getting answers... I hope AF stays away though... I still have tomorrow to go before I can officially say AF is late as my longest cycle is 30 days and I'm on cd30 today

Hi ladies, so just got my results from my CT scan. I have a 1.7cm cyst on my right ovary. So now I need the internal us (which I should have had the other day ) and a gynae referal. Can you still try for a baby with a cyst?? xx

Scuba I had my last baby with a 3cm cyst in my right ovary and my friend who was pregnant the same time had one the size of a golf ball they may cause you more discomfort but shouldn’t stop you from conceiving xx

Update on me; gp just called like he said he would ( I’m actually impressed by this) and I spoke to him about my pain still on my right ovary and the fact lots of people keep throwing the words polycycstic ovaries at me so I want a referral and he’s just done it, looks like my surgery has actually got a new doctor who does his job xx

@Anna: Really hope you get your BFP... so sorry about how your SO is handling the negatives... it always made me feel worse.
@Scuba: Hopefully your cyst will go away on its own! And when I had mine we were still allowed to TTC.
@Emma: So close!!

AFM: AF literally just showed up so here we go with waiting for her to go away, then wait for fertile days, then wait for BFP or AF again... TTC is just cycles of waiting and torture

I hope those who are waiting for af don't have it arrive. Good luck Anna!

Yay my chart has crosshairs eek. I'm 3dpo :D

@matarik Looks great!

So do you think this looks positive or nearly? xx

Scuba I’d say so so close , maybe try another in a couple of hours x

Eeeek OK ????. I'll try just before bed as peed an hour ago so need to hold it now xx

@Scuba, yes I'd definitely try before bed this looks very close but not quite peak.
@Alex, yay for your positive opk. Hope you get your overdue BFP this month
@Anna, any update? I have my fingers crossed for you
@Emma, so glad to hear you can start investigating and are getting support
I remember some of you were talking about giving up coffee and I did that because it seems to make my pms worse. I found a substitute I really like which is no caffeine herbal coffee. The brand I find here (in the US) is Teeccino. Just thought I'd share because it really did help satisfy my craving for a latte mid-morning or early afternoon!

Agatch well done for kicking the caffeine, I’ve not had it for 6 years and it instantly helped with my migraines ( as well as other things I cut from my diet) I always think it’s a hard one to cut out but you will feel so much better without it, I like douwe egberts for decaf coffee and the new pg tips for tea although Aldi do a good decaf tea as well and I know you have aldi over in the states too xx
