Entering into 8th cycle..

Entering into 8th cycle…ttc number 2.

Feeling defeated and deflated even though I know odds are still on our side really..
I already have a DD who is 3 years 9 months so very much feel time is of the essence. Just desperate for it to happen now.

Feel like either people seem to fall super fast or seem like 12 months plus and don’t find many “in the middle” types.

Ive fallen pregnant 1st cycle before. And then DD took 7 cycles. So hence why this failed 7th cycle seems like a miserable milestone!

Anyone welcome to keep me company. Sucks 😫

Can I join please ladies ? 🤍

I'm on Cycle 8 TTC.
This is the first cycle I've confirmed ovulation since an ectopic in July where I had to have a tube removed :(

I'm TTC #1 🤞🏼

I'm tracking bloody everything OPK, BBT, RHR, CM, CP 😂 I'm 8dpo and currently everything is looking good !

Congratulations @Kiaa on your BFP

OK92 · 21/12/2021 11:55

@FlyOnTheWall89 yes I totally get what you mean by that hun. As you haven’t been pregnant before.

Kiaa was ttc her second. And so am I. I have been pregnant twice before. So my head is saying likely hood is I can again. But whyyyy take so long. Makes no sense.

So I understand you have that fear. BUT equally it’s more likely it’s just taking a while because rolling a 6 on a dice is just luck. And any month we feel nothing could still be the month!

Maybe wait it out and see then. The negatives are horrible. Was bad day those few days for me. Sucks. Hugs.

Xmas will cheer us up.

@Kiaa hope you’re going to hang around hun and cheer us on 😘🥰
Xx

@Indianna2006 I don’t knowwwww. I’m tempted to just wait this time. I don’t have any tests with me (we are away), and the only test I have in London is digital clear blue I think - ie not a good one for early detection. If I pass a Boots, I’ll see if they have any FRER. I don’t feel anything, and I know it doesn’t mean I’m out but I just don’t have any instinct or anything that I am pregnant. I wouldn’t be surprised if I get AF a little earlier than Christmas Day because I think I ovulated earlier this month.

I am so so pleased someone got their BFP. Does give me a little hope but as this is #1, I have all those doubts that maybe I have rubbish quality eggs or my DP has a problem or I can’t get pregnant for whatever reason.

Entering into 8th cycle..
OK92 · 19/12/2021 08:49

@Indianna2006 so sorry 😓 it's so so tough and mentally draining. I am constantly wondering what's wrong with my body / what's going on in there. Once I have a good cry I start to feel a bit better and think about the next cycle. AF has kicked me when I am down this time which hasn't helped, incredibly heavy and painful and I just need it to end!!

It WILL happen in 2022 for all of us (if not earlier for some!).

I've booked some reflexology later in the month before I'm next due to ovulate. Probably won't do much but apparently it's relaxing so can't do any harm I guess.

Kiaa · 18/12/2021 22:57

@Indianna2006 & @FlyOnTheWall89
Aww Ladies feel exactly the same
It nice that your partners are still so supportive
This journey is definitely more stressful but will be worth it in the end
We all in this together let's do this 🥰

@ I knooow ugh come on. We can do this. Gotta just keep slogging out each month.
Man. What a tough ride this is girls.

But it is all worth the wait. I know that so well.

FlyOnTheWall89 · 18/12/2021 22:03

@Indianna2006 I know the exact feeling. My DP came home last night and said one of his friends wife is pregnant again - they have a massively up and down relationship and he said they literally had sex twice. Even DP was totally dumbfounded at how on earth this can happen when we have been having soo much sex for the last 8 MONTHS 🤯. It is so so tough. Just feels so close to the year mark now. 😭

You can do it, so so many people get their BFP before a year so for both of us, it could literally be next month. One can only hope!

@Kiaa @FlyOnTheWall89 thanks girl.

Massive sigh. I sobbed for about 2 hours. DH consoled me. And convinced me to keep going. Even though if feels pointless sometimes…

Ugh come on. We can do this. I shall try be more positivity in a few more days. Shall await AF..onto cycle fucking 9 🙄😫

@Indianna2006 oh that totally sucks. So sorry 😣. I feel like this TWW has been so so long. No clue how many DPO I am but if I have a 32 dah cycle I’m due AF on 25th which still feels soooo far away. Feel no different at all so no doubt I’ll be in your position this time next week. Hugs xx

Kiaa · 18/12/2021 21:35

@Indianna2006 aww sorry to hear hun :(
I'm so tempted to test but only 10dpo
