TTC 6months + please can people share some positive stories

@Banoffeepie91 how late are you? Do another test before you go as defo the first thing they’ll ask. I’m sure AF knows when we’re TTC and likes to mess with us ! Hope you get a BFP or AF soon! It’s the limbo that’s so bad isn’t it :(

How’s everyone else fairing this month? I’m 2 DPO I think, using clear blue OPKs, have enough for another month and think I’ll give up with them after that. Showed DH how they work he was quite impressed with the Bluetooth 😆

I don’t want to get my hopes up until AF doesn’t come.

Congratulations @BeingATwatItsABingThing so exciting one of us has actually got a BFP! Especially after trying for so long!

The clear blue digital needs a much higher level of hcg. So ive heard for most people it doesn't show a positive until after AF is due xx

@beingatwatitsabingthing congratulations 🥳 amazing news x

10dpo today. I got a BFP on a clear blue yesterday but my FRER was BFN so I didn’t want to believe it and get my hopes up.

I did the digital CB early test and it said not pregnant but when I took the test apart there were definitely two really clear lines there too.

I’ve got more tests coming so I will keep testing.

@beingatwatitsabingthing i can see it 😀😀😀😀😀 congratulations. How many DPO are you?xx

Please tell me you can see this and I’ve not completely lost my mind.

Another pregnancy annoucement in work today for me as well. Just as i was feeling better spent the day nearly crying thinking when will it be my turn. Especially as she told me a couple of months ago how things hadnt been right in her relationship for years and she didnt want anymore anyway spoken to a couple of friends about it now so feel a little better x

Hi ladies,
...hope you don’t mind me jumping in. It’s nice to read your posts, I don’t feel so alone in this TTC world. It’s the constant thought of should I take this, do I need this, should I see a dr (in which I have and going for blood tests).
So far in the last week, I’ve had two people announce they’re expecting and two who have given birth...I’m just sat here like when it’s going to be my time

It took us 12 cycles to conceive and that was with OPKs/tracking BBT/timed sex/PreSeed/every vitamin under the sun

No known fertility problems with either of us (we had all the tests). I eventually got pregnant after I had an HSG to check my tubes were clear so I think it must have flushed them out

I was beside myself by the time I actually got my BFP, I'd totally convinced myself it was never going to happen but we did get there eventually

@Trying2019 time away from the boards is defo helpful for me too, I seem to manage well until about a week before AF is due. Then I start googling the same things - how early can I get a BFP, how many DPO for BFPs.... get the one step tests out lol. I’m going to TRY not to this month. Have put a veto on any tests until DH comes back from a boys weekend on 20th or Jan which is when AF is due. Hoping I make it 😆

Good luck to all you ladies this month, hope 2020 is a lucky year for us all x

Welcome to everyone since i last posted. Hoping we all get some good news soon. Sorry not been on here much over the last couple of days. Spent some quality time with my friends and husband and found it the best therapy. Having too much time to think really doesnt help me when trying to conceive so going to keep busy even if its just reading a book. Hoping the relaxed approach will help. Booked a holiday for March that will hopefully be over my fertile week as well. Healthy eating starts today too makes me feel like im doing something to help xx

@Banoffeepie91 no worries at all, I very much know how you feel. One of my very close friends started trying at around the same time as me (for her first as well) and got pregnant on her second month... with twins!!! 😂 so I feel your pain x

Thanks for sharing @Girlinglasses it's nice to hear some positive stories.

I'm 32 by the way!

Hi @banoffeepie91! Just wanted to tell you my timeline as it might make you feel better- I came off the pill last December and we started ttc in jan. I got pregnant in Feb but had a miscarriage before 6 weeks- still felt really hopeful and I though "at least I'm fertile" - fast forward 9 months and despite tracking my temp, sex every 2 days in fertile period, legs up after sex, you name it, I just kept on getting my period. I felt really down and like you felt like everyone around me was getting pregnant. Then towards the end of November, just like that, I got my BFP! I did nothing different that month, nothing felt different, it just happened! I'm 9 weeks now and feeling much more positive so don't give up :)

when in reality people get pregnant in worse conditions

This is what really gets me. I don’t understand how people who smoke all the time, drink all the time and literally do no exercise are pregnant at the drop of a hat but I have never smoked, almost never drink and do a moderate amount of exercise and get nothing!

@BeingATwatItsABingThing
Ye i found out at scan there was no heartbeat but we got through that and hoped by now I would have had something.. longer it goes on the more paranoid I become about should I be eating certain things, taking vitamins, loosing weight etc when in reality people get pregnant in worse conditions.. 🤷 guess just trying a better lifestyle and keeping watch for peak ov
