TTC May/June - may the eggs be ever in your favour

Woke up and it was like a gore fest...CD1 and a very stained undersheet! I promise you no plungers were involved....!! Almost relieved to be definitively out after the last few weeks of worry!!

Congrats @Kitty0389!!!!

@MammaJ21 how have you got on??

Congratulations @Kitty0389 !!!

I'm 7 dpo. Hopes have started rising up now 😄 I keep cool and collected and just relaxed , until it's close to testing time.

Maybe, just maybe, this is my month? 🙏🏻

@CycloGoose Husband is on high alert because I got a BFP in January which turned out to be an ectopic which ruptured at the end of February, pretty hairy stuff, I almost died and I think he's got a bit of guilt over not taking my complaints of pain and weird discharge seriously before then... so anything irregular with ANYTHING is cause for alarm if you get me??

Out of tests again now and out at the crack of dawn for another day trip (can you tell we're trying to make up for lost time cos of all the lockdowns before our little boy goes to school in September??) but will go out for a digital tomorrow night and test first thing Wednesday if AF hasn't definitively arrived... the money I've spaffed on tests this cycle is making me absolutely cringe!!

@CycloGoose OMG I know, 8months to build the damn thing!

11DPO, I think!

@CycloGoose Nope no jab or anything that I could point to to explain why the cycle has gone crazy!! I did think I could be having super late implantation bleeding, now it's been three days of pale pink/brown tinged discharge maybe one wipe per day, not even enough I'd call it spotting... I stopped doing opks about 3 days after my peak and then my husband was away for a week so if I did ovulate a week later than suspected/usual then there was no BDing going on...

At this rate, with my cycle thrown off, my next fertile week will be when husband and I are away with my family, sharing a room with our son... and my little sister. So may automatically be out next month before I even get there haha!

Thanks @minthumbugs @Rinylou @justwant2beamum. I'll test again tomorrow morning to be sure :-D

@Kitty0389 definitely a line, congrats! ✨

Lush dress @kaylsd - I am also flumpesque after today!

Hi @LilacLiza - sprinkling some baby dust for you. And definitely see a line there @Kitty0389 CONGRATULATIONS!!

So another non update update....

My husband pressed me into doing a test once we got home this evening now he's realised I'm 5 days late (he doesn't realise I've been testing negative almost daily since 9dpo hahaha). Was another BFN of course. About to take a plunger to myself to get back to CD1 at this rate!!

Ahhh @PaleGreenAndBrightOrange that's lovely news but it's also like a punch in the gut. Sorry about AF too, your husband is infuriatingly right 🤣 the sensible side of you will agree but it feels really unfair and horrible when AF arrives. hope you're feeling better today. X

Awww @kaylsd that's hard 💔 especially when it catches you off guard! I am SOOOOO happy you have your appointment booked in. Hope you've had a lovely day with hubby and he's had a nice bday. Oh and your dress is beaut! X

@Rinylou sounds promising. Fingers crossed. X

@LilacLiza best of luck and baby dust ✨

I will catch up on everyone else's, but @Kitty0389 that's definitely a line!! Congrats! Xx

Helps if I add the pictures!

Hi guys,
Hope you’ve all had a great bank holiday weekend?
Could I have your input on the pictures attached? Pretty sure there is a line here? Don’t want to get too excited if I’m imagining it!

@CycloGoose thank you lovely I've sent on your birthday wishes! Just getting ready for Leeds now, I'm a lovely shade of squishy right now from yesterday's little sun outing 🤣 have a lovely bank holiday sweetheart!

Hi please may I join the group? I’m Trying to get my head around all the lingo you’re using but hopefully I’ll catch up! TTC baby #1 , tried for six months last year and restarted trying this month. AF was 6days late but then reared her ugly head yesterday! I’m trying to concentrate on healthy eating, exercising and trying to keep my mental state positive which I struggled with before.

I'm in the car so can't scroll back and catch up as I'll vom everywhere haha!

But no AF here yet. Had maybe the tiniest tinge of pale pale pink when wiping the other night, not noticeable if I wasn't basically getting a microscope out each time... and last night had a sharp cramp that took the wind out of me and I thought, here we go, flood defenses at the ready... and nothing. Still nothing. Husband said I've been "puffed out" like I get on my period for a few days now (anyone else get a fat face then or just me??).

I know no news is good news but bloody sick to death of this cycle now and just want to start again - might set an alarm to take my temp earlier than my son comes climbing into bed, although I'm not sure my husband will be pleased at losing even the smallest sliver of sleep

@kaylsd congratulations!! So pleased for you.

We didn’t really have to wait - we only just booked it 2 weeks ago and it’s in 2 weeks. I can’t handle the waiting so I thought I’d go for a “fertility mot” privately and see what the next steps are. I am fascinated to know what’s happening in our insides. Just to feel there’s help out there is a huge relief.

There has been a definite tension between me and DH today. It’s so hard not to take the stress out on each other. Just in the morning. But we’ve shaken it off now and come out for a sunny stroll in a nice park.

Xx

Just had en email

Our first fertility appointment has been booked on 28/07/21 I could actually cry I feel that overwhelmed 😩💖

I've had abit of a similar moment this morning, had a scroll on FB like we do every morning and saw SIL and BIL family photo with our niece which is a beautiful photo but the caption was abit raw for me, "first we had each other then we had you and now we have everything" not because I don't think it's needed but because how much of me and hubs have been going through so much and still to go through so much more just for to be close to achieve that goal ourselves if we are that fortunate.. it's hard some days than others 😩❤️

@MammaJ21
Your OPK tests look so promising are you sure your not tempted to do a HPT as it could be picking up that HCG? Espesh with your cramping could potentially be a little baby getting comfy in your lining :')! I hope it's this outcome anyway than AF being a little devil 🤣

@minthumbugs it's just started to go down with the redness it's still slightly swollen and itchy but I can deal with that it'll go down after time! Had a lovely night last night ended up in a tipi bar with little fire in the middle of it and stumbled across a food stall what did gyros reminded me when I was back in zante, attaching pic just for sparkle ✨ partial to a food pic 😋 don't worry about me in my cycle sweet I think it's gonna be like that until I can get help from the specialist so I'm just taking the chilled back step of it all no tracking just fun until I'm sorted out 🥰❤️

My period didn’t come yesterday morning. Then in the afternoon my SIL and BIL popped round yesterday to tell us they’ve accidentally (but happily) fallen pregnant. Such great news - I have been wanting them to have a baby so badly (even though this is completely meddly! I never mentioned it to them though).

In the evening my period came. Had nightmares about periods last night and am feeling about as low as I have since last September this morning. My partner (who is also feeling disappointed) has helpfully 🙄 advised me not to get hopes up before period and just see it as another step in the journey that WILL end in a baby. He’s right but gah! Can’t stand the advice - just want to have my low moment and then recover.

Anyway he is right, it’s not the end of the world. Another month. Fertility Appointment in 2 weeks. Lots of options to explore.
