I'm 4dpo, fairly sure this month isn't going to work but wondered if anyone wanted to join me in the crazy 2ww?

@Lottiepink I'm waiting to ovulate. Any day now hopefully, although I'm in USA and the travelling HS messed my temping up.

@kell2126 @Whyhaveidonethis just thought I would see how you ladies getting on? 😊

kell2126 · 06/06/2019 13:10

Hi ladies glad to hear all OK with you and keeping everything crossed for you for this cycle. I'm now on the IVF drugs and heading toward egg collection end of June/early July – feels like a bit of a relief to be off the monthly merry-go-round of TTCing for a few weeks but I've no doubt the 2WW after the embryo transfer will be the worst one I've had yet! Just trying to keep the faith that all this will be worth it and we will all get there in the end. Much love x

Lottiepink · 05/06/2019 08:53

@kell2126 how are you getting on?

Lottiepink · 05/06/2019 08:52

@Whyhaveidonethis well if your not this cycle, least you can have a few drinks while you're away and yes I'm sure there will be plenty of dtd 😊 I'm ok thank you! 5dpo today and if nothing this cycle I'm going to get us booked into the docs.. I keep putting it off as I just hoped it would happen. But need to get checked if af arrives again 😱

@Lottiepink. Much better. I'm not too hopeful this month to be honest but I've worked out I'm next fertile while we are away for 14 days together so you never know perhaps next month will do the trick! 😂 How you feeling?

OP posts:
Lottiepink · 04/06/2019 21:35

@Whyhaveidonethis I would say with still getting the positive opk yesterday that you will still be within the window 🤞🏻 hope you feel a little better about it all now your OH is home and dtd 😊

We dtd at 8am this morning. My last positive OPK was yesterday morning so maybe I am in the window still? My temp jumped from 36.42 yesterday to 36.66 this morning, but I can't remember if it's possible to get pregnant if temps already going up.

Lottiepink · 04/06/2019 08:25

@Whyhaveidonethis aww sorry to hear your struggling. To be honest even with it being Friday that's still within the window. Why don't you book yourself a little treat/night away with your other half to take your mind off everything? Might just be what you need x

Morning. I'm ovulating today I think, but not dtd since Friday and not seeing dp till tomorrow. Feel totally miserable about the whole thing.

Lottiepink · 03/06/2019 09:07

Morning ladies, how are yous getting on? I'm currently 3dpo so just a lot of waiting to go 😊

kell2126 · 25/05/2019 08:36

@whyhave honestly I wouldn't wish (unsuccessful) TTC on my worst enemy – it's so cruel. Hopefully your chances are good this cycle though – don't they say that you're more likely to conceive straight after a CP/MC? But I can imagine getting your head into the trying again space after seeing so many BFPs last time is going to be tough. I feel for you x

I'm OK – awaiting AF (due today) and have a bottle of fizz chilling in the fridge for when she arrives which will hopefully take the edge off the disappointment.

Will be gutted though when she does arrive, particularly this time because it was our last cycle before starting IVF: I have to call the clinic the day AF starts and then have to stop TTC in advance of starting the hormone injections in June. I really, really hoped it wouldn't come to this because by all accounts unsuccessful IVF is even more of a head fuck. Won't be testing for pg again till prob mid-July now.

Bleeding is slowing down now thanks @kell2126 so fed up. I really want to be getting a sticky bean. This chemical has really upset me.

How are you?

Thank you @whyhave. how are you doing now?

Hugs @kell2126 its so distressing to get a BFP then BFN. Xxx

OP posts:
kell2126 · 23/05/2019 07:53

Bfn on both this morning 🤷‍♀️ C’est la vie - on to cycle #8 for me - likelihood of getting bfn frer 13dpo then bfp later is pretty low I suppose. Note to self: avoid testing on 12do! 🤦‍♀️

Lottiepink · 22/05/2019 22:45

@kell2126 yes see what tomorrow brings. Fingers crossed for you. It's so odd tho that is been on all 3 cycles ttc. But bless you it must be so confusing and annoying when af turns up! Hope you're ok x

kell2126 · 22/05/2019 21:57

thanks ladies. previously they've all been on frers. just did a 4-hour hold and tried again with another of these one step midstreams (i.e. the type in the first photos) and also a frer. frer bfn, one step is another faint lin – possibly very slightly less faint than the first. got another of both for the morning so i guess i'll go again with both with fmu.

totally with you on not believing in anything till it's an in-your-face line on the frer @whyhaveidonethis.

@lottiepink i honestly have no idea – am wondering if it's to do with my age (38)??

Lottiepink · 22/05/2019 21:41

@kell2126 I see it too. I wonder why you keep getting the faint positives. Is that on any brand test you do?

Hiya @kell2126 I think I see something on the second picture. After my chemical last month though I'm not going to believe anything personally until I see strong positives on. FrER

Hi ladies how is everyone doing?

Same ol', same ol' here – another 12dpo squinter for me (third cycle in a row) but not feeling at all hopeful about it given the same occurrence has come to nothing in either of my previous cycles Sad

Sheep90 · 21/05/2019 17:44

@lottiepink @whyhaveidonethis I think I ovulated early as I got a strong OPK on around CD9 and then no positive result around the time I was expecting. Never had a cycle like it, but it was the first one I'd tracked!

Now I'm on the next cycle, 4/5DPO (CD21) and I have light cramps and super light spotting. I've been temping this month so I'm more confident that I ovulated. Could this be implantation or is it too early?

Thanks everyone, I hope you get the results you want soon 🙂

Whyhaveidonethis · 20/05/2019 19:53

@Sheep90 do you know what day you ovulated. I've just had a chemical and found out a few days before af was due. Af then came today.

OP posts:
Lottiepink · 20/05/2019 18:47

@Sheep90 that's a major change in your cycle length and means you must have ovulated and implanted unusually early. Ic's I know can be unreliable, but I wouldn't be able to say for sure. Not sure if anyone else can offer any advice?
