Hey ladies, I am very new to all this but I wanted to see if anyone is having a similar problem. Or anyone that's been thought it.
Story time!
So I get married in October 2018. Because we wanted to have a baby I can off the pill 5 months before the wedding. I had two what seemed to be normal periods then they stopped I then went three months without a period. My doctor advisede to wait as I have pcos and this is very common. So I waited....I started getting some symptoms and still no period so I took loots of pregnancy test all negative!
In November 2018 I started to do acupuncture to help with fertility. 3 days after my first session I started my period after not having one for 4 months. It lasted for 12 days! 😫 The last day was the 22nd of December. For the last 2 weeks I have been getting period like symptoms and back pain...LOTS OF BACK PAIN!! I have take 3 of the strip tests and they all have a very faint thin line. I don't want to get excited but I have been losing my mind about this. 😂

Hi all!

Is it ok if I hop on?

33
TTC #2
Cycle 1
CD 15

Just tracking CM at the moment and had loads of ewcm for 4 days after period finished so have no idea whereabouts I am now 🙈 Had a look back at my app from first pregnancy and apparently conceived on a ‘school glue’ day so who knows?! 😂

Good luck everyone 😊

Waiting2bMum · 18/01/2019 11:16

That's great to know! Thanks for that👍🏻so I'm a week away from ovulation so thought I would try an OPK which are normally blank this early. I think I may ovulate earlier x

Hope it's okay if I join...

I'm 29 and this is my 7th Cycle ttc #1.

Had two BFN's on 10dpo and 11dpo so stopped testing and am waiting for AF to arrive (due Monday) but if my cheap internet pg tests arrive today i'll probably test again tonight. Could not feel any less confident...I think as the months go by, as much as I pray to see that BFP i almost expect a BFN everytime I do a test now. What an emotional journey this is!

meepmoop · 18/01/2019 10:47

I'm in TWW but seem to have a long cycle this month as I'm on CD35 with 7days to go.

MrsP4 · 18/01/2019 10:40

@Waiting2bMum yes it really is! I always get it after ovulation for a few days, don't know if anyone else maybe interested but this month I've been taking these tablets that have been recommended by Luisa Zissman, she was told to take them by a fertility expert in the US and there's a lot of positive reviews
www.luisazissman.co.uk/?p=647
I can't say yet if they've helped me as it's only my first month taking them but for anyone else struggling it's worth a go! Xx

Waiting2bMum · 18/01/2019 10:26

@MrsP4 thank you☺️and same for you too. Ohh really, could be a good sign. It's hard knowing whether it could be a pregnancy sign or not isn't it xx

MrsP4 · 18/01/2019 09:07

@Waiting2bMum ooh fingers crossed for you for this month. I know I ovulated as I've got the usual post ovulation symptoms.... sore/sensitive boobs and nipples! 😩🙈 worst thing ever so uncomfortable

Waiting2bMum · 18/01/2019 09:03

@MrsG7718 how are you? Have you tested any more? X

OP posts:
Waiting2bMum · 18/01/2019 09:02

Morning @MrsP4 @MrsE95 I'm on CD 11 7 days from ovulation x

OP posts:
MrsP4 · 17/01/2019 22:54

I'm in the TWW now,
CD 20 3DPO
Really not feeling positive about this month at all, not sure why but just have a feeling it's not my month.

MrsE95 · 17/01/2019 21:55

What cycle day/time of TTC is everyone?

Any in the TWW? I’m cd10 just about to start my fertile window. 😬🤞

Waiting2bMum · 17/01/2019 13:00

@Hayles13 no worries, that's why I started this thread so we can all support each other. It's hard when your the only one going through it and everyone around you is falling pregnant. Yes I'm with you on that😉it will be our turn this cycle xx

@meepmoop I know😞you feel bad for feeling like that as well don't you, I feel like it goes against me when I feel jealous that someone else is pregnant. It's normal to feel like that. Really, fingers crossed for you!! Xx

OP posts:
meepmoop · 17/01/2019 11:51

I've just heard of the 5th person (in real life) I know of that is now pregnant. Obviously I'm happy for them just wish it was me.

8days until AF should be here so fingers crossed she doesn't come

Hayles13 · 17/01/2019 10:52

Hi @waiting2bmum. Thanks heaps for your response. Yes it definitely is a upsetting. I’m hope you get your bfp soon!! I will definitely keep you posted. Deep breaths and stress less for both of us 😘

Waiting2bMum · 17/01/2019 08:49

@MrsG7718 that sounds possible you might have. It is such a strong line, so glad we have a bfp on this post give us all lots of hope xx

@MrsE95 iv been using seven seas for 7 months now and no side effects they made me feel a lot better and my cycles are regular now by taking them. I'm right behind you, 8 days away from ovulation🙈🤞🏻x

@Hayles13 welcome☺️I'm with you in that, I'm on cycle 21 now, each month is so upsetting hoping it's the one. Also with 2 MC's😞😞fingers crossed and keep us posted x

Hi, I’m new to a this. Can I join?
I’m 38 years of age, been trying to conceive for 24months. CD 28 of a 25 to 30 Day cycle.
I had a hycosy procedure in December, my last cycle was only 25 days and I was in extreme pain all month. This month I have had so many pregnancy symptoms. I tested on CD24 with a BFN. I’m too scared to test again. This has been a very long stressful two years. 😩

MrsE95 · 16/01/2019 23:08

Massive congratulations @MrsG7718 that is a beautiful positive! 😍

I’ve decided I’m going to start OPKs this month and start charting my temps see if that helps track things. It’s also my DH’s birthday on the 5th of Feb and my next AF due date so how good would a positive test be for his birthday. 🙈 ovulation apparently due in 6 days so going to start testing OPKs as soon as they arrive in the post and getting at it like 🐇🐇🐇.

Has anyone had any side effects of seven seas folic acid? Also going to start taking these.

Sienna9522 · 16/01/2019 23:04

@MrsG7718 Congratulations SmileFlowersFlowers

MrsG7718 · 16/01/2019 21:35

According to my app i am 16DPO. For 9 months I have tracked my cycle always having expected CM around the time my app said I was ovulating and AF always appearing when my app said. This cycle for the first time we dtd for a few days after my app said I was ovulating so I think I may ovulate later than expected. DH and I are waiting a few more days then will try a CB digital test to see how many weeks we may be xxx

LondonKez · 16/01/2019 21:33

@MrsG7718 Congratulations! What a great line, and at 8pm...definitely no false positive there! 💐💖💐💖

Waiting2bMum · 16/01/2019 20:25

@MrsG7718 whooohoooo congratulations!!💐💐🎉🎉wow that is a very strong line!! How many dpo are you? I'm so happy for you xx

MrsG7718 · 16/01/2019 20:23

@waiting2bmum thank you for your advice I did as you said and searched 4 shops for a FRER. I ended up at Boots.

I don't think I can miss this, me and DH have just sat on the bed and held each other crying happy tears for the past half an hour. Thank you for all you kind words I'm hoping this remains a sticky jelly tot.

and thank you @PaintingOwls for your kind words xx

LondonKez · 16/01/2019 20:16

@ale2992 I think you can have several surges until your body actually ovulates. Good luck in the tww. I have my fingers crossed for your happy ending x

ale2992 · 16/01/2019 18:13

@Waiting2bMum yes negative.
I have done abit of googling and apparently the first positive may have been down to my body attempting to ovulate and the second when it has succeeded in ovulating?
