@Kaybobx they are quite short cycles? So you’re ovulating early but then have a long Luetal phase? Maybe clomid helps with that sort of thing? 🤔 but I would wait for a medical professional to give that to me if I were you.

Kaybobx · 17/08/2020 08:20

@Elakiya thats a much better dream than i had. I dreamt that my neighbours dog bit my cats tail off 🙈 random!

Elakiya · 17/08/2020 08:19

@candycrush2298 I had a dream you were pregnant 🤰😄. I am just telling you now incase this is your month and I should change my career to psychic. 😂😅

Kaybobx · 17/08/2020 08:19

@candycrush2298 i just had a look at my glow app. My cycles really all over the place!! So days from end of AF to next start of AF
April - 27 days
May - 30days
June - 24 days

My TWW is like 4 weeks. No wonder I'm stressed lol. This can't be normal 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Kaybobx sorry to hear about your negative this morning. I think your temps will still be high for a few days, if you get a FRER I would only use it towards the end of the week when you closer to 17dpo which is when your AF has actually been due in recent cycles. Really hope the temps stay high and above the coverline just a few more days hahahaha. Come on temps.

Would share the spotting but that’s definitely tmi!

NamechangeTTC · 17/08/2020 07:33

Normally about 48h. Had really intense cramping last night that stopped me sleeping. That’s not my normal.

Kaybobx · 17/08/2020 07:30

@candycrush2298 @NamechangeTTC Morning ladies.
Sorry to hear of your spotting and negatives. I was negative again today too.

@NamechangeTTC glad you got you some pads, hoping you won't need them..
11days luteal phase is considered normal.
So sorry about your negative. How long does the spotting usually last?

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 17/08/2020 06:31

BFN again with lots of artefact in one inversion.

Brown spotting when I wipe today. Normally AF is bright red spotting 48h before. I’m probably out.

NamechangeTTC · 16/08/2020 23:16

I’m worried as I’m only 11dpo so this would be too short. Argh.

NamechangeTTC · 16/08/2020 23:12

Hugs to you all.

I’m crampy tonight and not due on till Thursday. Got some nice new non scented pads. Definitely a man that decided to put bloody scent in!!
Trying to hold off testing.

@Kaybobx yeah like just how. No the only movie I have seen that resonates is Instant Family which is about adoption. Still very fairytale like but was cute.

Yes I think all of our journeys are unique and we all deserve this. All of us have our own set of struggles but we all have one thing in common in that we really want this. Such a great bunch we are. Yes!!! My patience has pretty much diminished now😂😂😂 sick of waiting!!! Waiting for AF, waiting to test, waiting for ovulation, waiting for to test again and then waiting for AF. Just sick of all the waiting..

@candycrush2298 i watched Bridget Jones Diary a couple of days ago when she got pregnant that one time and didn't know who the Dad was. Like whatt how? It shouldn't be made to look so easy when so many are struggling. They never show that on TV.

Awe thank you! This group is just full of nice people with different stories and journey's we'll all get out time soon I'm sure. Just wish it would hurry uppppp!

@Kaybobx oh hell yes, in the movies people have one night stands and then 10 years later the girls ends up marrying the baby daddy whahahaah. So cliche but like how did they even get pregnant with just one time lol!!!

Yeah he is pretty awesome lol!! I can also understand with having one naturally it changes the dynamics on adoption. Yeah I can totally understand what you mean you want someone close to her age so that they have each other to rely on and be close too. Should the worst happen they have each other I would want the exact same things. I really hope that you guys conceive soon so that your little girl doesn't need to grow up all alone..I love your thinking and want to do the same. Awww thank you hun thats so sweet!!! I literally think the same for you and your hubby anyone who wants to make a close family member for their little girl definitely deserves it in my eyes!!! Lets hope next cycle is it for all of us how much more negatives can we really endure 😭

@candycrush2298 school and tv has alot to answer for as they make baby making look so easy!!

Awe your hubby sounds amazingly supportive. Mine would never consider adoption but we have already got one child so i can see why he's just happy with her but i also want more for her. I think of it if anything happened to me and hubby, she would be alone which makes me really sad. If she had a sibling they can love and take care of each other. I know i have family but my parents are older now and both with health issues. Im literally getting older and my clock is ticking out. I dont want to and can't give up. Awe hun i hope this is your month, you sound like an amazing couple and you deserve a little sticky bean.

@Kaybobx yeah thats exactly it!! You just want a solution so that you actually have something to work towards at the moment we are just shooting in the dark and pray we reach our target. Its soul destroying.

My hubby talks about adoption, and asks if its time we start looking into it and contacting agencies. And I am like not yet. So like your hubby he is just thinking its not going to work. And I also dont want him to think like that. I mean I am grateful he is still thinking about kids and thinking about adoption which warms my heart immensely but I just cant give up. I dont know when something in me will finally be like ok enough is enough lets stop and look into adoption now but I cant imagine I am too far off giving up.

Kaybobx · 16/08/2020 21:03

@candycrush2298 i hear you. Its almost like you want something to be wrong so it can be fixed. Everything being ok and it still not happening is torture.

What is your hubby like when AF comes every month? I think its getting to me abit now that the longer this has gone on the more my hubby is just accepting its not happening and keeps saying well we have one baby its ok we dont have to have another. Noooooo, just no dont i don't want him to think like that 😭

@Kaybobx I know I am ovulating too, not sure on the quality or size of my follicles but know that I am releasing one. Thats why I am hoping the soy is going to make a good quality follicle. I wish we could just know what the issue is so we can fix it you know.

Yeah really thought you covered most of all those really high days. Its just so annoying! Like truly what can we do it to just getting a sticky bean.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 16/08/2020 20:29

@candycrush2298 oooh ok thanks for that I'll give it a go. I'm definitely ovulating and my follicles are definitely getting to size to release an egg so implantation seems to be the issue (or my eggs are fried haha) My scans confirmed all of the above.

I had high hopes too with all the BDing and the strong OPKS for 3 blumin days. Im getting so fed up now though, im sure you do too.
