Hello! We are trying for our second child and I am frustrated. I am sure several of you can relate to being frustrated with this whole TTC thing. 😅 Anyways. AF was due 3 days ago and has not shown her ugly face yet. But I have also gotten nothing but negatives (and one invalid). I was planning on not testing again until AF is a week late. Anyone get their BFP that late or even later? I am irregular, so it could just be a late period? I just want to know if I really am pregnant or not, so I can move on! Thanks for any insight you all provide! 😊

@KES22 aww that’s amazing!!! Really pleased for you 😀

Marvellouslymadmum · 13/04/2021 22:30

@KES22 oh wow that's amazing!!! Congratulations, hoping for a sticky little bean for you ☺️ I've been using the cb digital ov sticks and bbt and with the two i now seem to be able to pin point ovulation and have noticed I have a changing Lp so discussing that with the doc on Friday. So pleased it has all come together for your bfp though, please keep us updated.

KES22 · 13/04/2021 22:20

Just wanted to give an update 😊 after 2 months of very irregular periods (56 cycle and 40 day cycle), last month I used the CB fertility monitor alongside the CB digital ovulation sticks (overkill I know but I didn’t trust just one) and they both identified high days and peak for the first time ever! I had convinced myself I was never going to see a solid smiley! I also tracked BBT to make sure my temp rose after (chart was a bit spikey but generally rose) and then at the weekend to my absolute amazement I got my BFP!!

After my miscarriage last summer I started to think the worst, but just shows you never know what’s round the corner.
Now for the anxious waiting !!! Really hope you all get some good luck aswell soon 😀 x

@lastbany I’ve been diagnosed with pcos so I’m
Not ovulating regularly. So I have hycosy to check there’s no blockages and then metformin and clomid and if they don’t work ivf but hopefully they do! Oh dear I haven’t got as far as looking at side effects etc yet. Hope you don’t suffer too bad and they work!

lastbany · 24/03/2021 08:56

@HT1335 ye seems to be first step! Did they say you weren't ovulating? Or just irregular? let's see I was most scared of side effects as I do ovulate? But fingers crossed all goes ok took first last night feel ok just little sicky but come off nights so typical lol

HT1335 · 24/03/2021 08:49

@lastbany that’s what they plan on prescribing me with some metformin so long as my hycosy scan goes ok on Friday. Good luck with it!

lastbany · 24/03/2021 08:08

Ok so I got myself some clomid!!! Catastrophe I know but gonna give it a go once for this month see how we go 🧐

Marvellouslymadmum · 17/03/2021 21:03

@FusianBabyMama yes that's the idea, Lp of 8 seems awfully short have you mentioned that to your gp? I don't know what's helping out of the supplements yet to be honest as I keep adding more but they're all things that are supposed to be good for ttc some for Lp some for ewcm some for egg quality etc I take pregnacare conception, vitamin b6,b complex, c,d,e, magnesium, epo, ubiquinol and iron lol plus a couple of other natural things too 😂

FusianBabyMama · 17/03/2021 20:35

@Marvellouslymadmum that’s good that you are getting it all checked out. Helps to get more info and rule stuff out where you can. I’m going to probably go down the same route (if I can) when I talk to the GP as pre DC1 I was super regular and around 25-26 days. After it’s been more like 24 but ovulating later so LP was 8 days if I was lucky and surges seemed low. Am pretty much positive (no pun intended!) that I didn’t ovulate this month as had two peaks that weren’t high and am now in limbo land!! Have you been taking the supplements for LP or for a bit of everything. Anything that has helped let me know!!

Marvellouslymadmum · 17/03/2021 20:20

@FusianBabyMama thank you, I'm on a whole concoction of supplements adding new each month lol mine are what I'd call regularish lol generally 25-33 days with the odd 21 day or 52 or 66 day! But I'm not always ovulating so getting everything checked.

FusianBabyMama · 17/03/2021 20:01

Thanks @marvellouslymadmum so sorry to hear that it’s been such a long journey for you 🤞🏻 You get some good news soon! Am going to test again this weekend and then maybe call the GP next week. Was taking b vitamins for a month or so but was giving me headaches and making me feel weird so just taking more vit c as heard it’s helpful. Given what’s going on with the this cycle I think I might need to give it a few months to see if things settle down. But who knows! Have your cycles been regular so far? It’s so difficult when it changes up and you are left not sure what is happening!

Hi @ht1335 it’s beyond frustrating! Haven’t wished for AF to show up in a looooong time but she needs to hurry up so I can stop thinking about it all day! How have things been for you?

HT1335 · 17/03/2021 18:02

@FusianBabyMama oh it’s very frustrating isn’t it, all there is to do sometimes is to wait and we’re all not very good at doing that! I hope you get an answer either way soon

Marvellouslymadmum · 17/03/2021 17:18

Hi @FusianBabyMama welcome, it's so horrible being in limbo isn't it! I'll be 42 next week and we've been ttc for 3 years so I feel your pain! I would leave it a few days and test again and if still bfn then maybe contact your gp? Have you been taking any supplements or anything as they can lengthen your Lp

FusianBabyMama · 17/03/2021 13:51

Hi all - ok to join? TTC #2 for 5 months (DC1 nearly 15months old) and have gone from short LP to now 6 days late and just BFN. This limbo is driving me mad!! Have been feeling nauseous, tired etc. but don’t feel like I did the first time. Just want AF to hurry up so I can move on to the next cycle!! Am 40 this year so feel like time is not on my side. How are you all doing?

Marvellouslymadmum · 16/03/2021 20:56

@HT1335 it's a nightmare trying to remember them all separately 😂

HT1335 · 16/03/2021 20:53

@Marvellouslymadmum I have just got myself one! My partner is like oh what you taking now! 😂

Marvellouslymadmum · 16/03/2021 19:55

@HT1335 I'm on so many I need to get me one of those pill pots 😂

HT1335 · 16/03/2021 19:49

@xTinkerbell the waiting game is awful isn’t it I hope you get something soon!
@Marvellouslymadmum yep another supplement I’ll try anything sometimes 😂😂

xTinkerbell · 16/03/2021 19:16

When do I get to make the plot my period isn’t here?

If it would hurry up at least I’d be able to think about trying next month but I just don’t know anymore

Marvellouslymadmum · 16/03/2021 19:14

@HT1335 ooh another supplement you say 😂 I like to add at least one thing a month may have to give those a go haha

HT1335 · 16/03/2021 18:55

@lastbany oh that’s annoying. I wish you look for next month ttc!
I have been taking those maca supplements and I’ve had sore boobs and feel like I’m getting af which I would be so happy about! I’m Defs not pregnant as had to abstain from dtd for 4 weeks prior to this next scan I have
So it’s maybe worth people looking into those? I got mine in Holland and Barrett 😊

lastbany · 16/03/2021 17:50

@HT1335 well used a cheapy today and was bfn! 3 days late site would show by now so think I'm out just waiting haha if I take next try (looong doubtful now!) be due on my daughters 2nd bday x

Marvellouslymadmum · 15/03/2021 21:14

@xTinkerbell it did yes but there were other factors for me too, hopefully you'll get some answers soon

xTinkerbell · 15/03/2021 21:07

@Marvellouslymadmum did af arrive cd54?

I keep hoping mine is coming since I know I’m definitely not pregnant but nothing so far

Marvellouslymadmum · 15/03/2021 20:45

@HT1335 that would be ideal! Even to get some answers ons know if other things we could do would be really helpful! Good luck to you too!
