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 😫

Any news @Indianna2006 ? Hope holiday is going well.

@Kiaa @OK92 Today I feel very not pregnant. I'm 6 weeks. You guys are either pregnant or have been pregnant before. Is this okay?!? Should I be worrying? Xx

@OK92 yes I know I’m 10dpo based on temping and I feel ovulation pain.

i think it’s an indent line maybe..but then my other frers I’ve used lots and lots of times have been blank.

i shall just wait out 3/4 days and see if AF comes

@Indianna2006 I see something too, and haven't personally had an evap ever before...🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Do you know you're 10DPO based on temping?

@FlyOnTheWall89 Ffs 🙈🙈 kicking myself for not waiting now. I was waiting until like 14dpo so there be a strong ish line an no question.

all other cycles I’ve waited until 12dpo to test and had faint but more obvious pink lines. So as it’s 10dpo it could well be a genuine early one. But just not gonna know for a few days.

we off on holiday tomorrow though. So I only got one more frer and cheap ones I’m packing. Will test again 13/14dpo if AF hasn’t arrived 🤦🏻‍♀️

hopefully holiday will keep me distracted from testing and DH will be so close by I won’t be able to sneakily do it early haha

I do see something @Indianna2006 - hard to see if it's got colour. I'm not a big tester but when I have tested it's been sheet white. I feel like that is clearly not sheet white. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@FlyOnTheWall89 @OK92

well I done exactly what I shouldn’t have done…🤣😩

tested today with a FRER and thought well it will be blank. So then I can trust any future lines.

I think I can see a squinter..but it’s most likely an evap right. Telling myself it’s an evap. Altho I haven’t had any evaps on frers other than cycle 2 a year ago and who knows maybe it was a chemical and not an evap…

ugh why have I done this. 10 dpo. 10.5 dpo max. WAY too early.

🤦🏻‍♀️

@FlyOnTheWall89 that's a lovely way to tell him! You must be on cloud 9! How have you been feeling so far?

@Indianna2006 good idea to pack tests...it would be torture if AF is late 🤞🏼 and you don't have any with you. A holiday will be a good distraction until then anyway!

Kiaa · 17/06/2022 21:50

Omg just catching up on thread @FlyOnTheWall89 a big congratulations what beautiful news so happy for you 💕🥰

@FlyOnTheWall89 ahh bet that was special. Yes at end of day like you said got to try enjoy it. It’s exciting as soon as you see the tests and get exciting more as the weeks go on.

Altho I am slightly superstitious and don’t ever buy anything. But only because I lost my first pregnancy. An it kind of sets up the situation for all other pregnancies tbh when your first was a loss.

Sounds stupid right because i know it’s not rational. But feel like I got too excited about it and told too many ppl once I got to 8 weeks. And then boom. Smack in the face. What an idiot. Or that’s how I felt anyway…which is silly I know. Has nothing to do with it.

Does weird things to your head. I try be rational as best I can. It doesn’t always work tho and I still have a good cry sometimes but try pick myself back up after 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Wish some of it made sense as to why it took us so long to fall. An then bam twice in a row because of some little device that pushes the sperm near my cervix.🤷🏻‍♀️

my period is due on holiday…I think I will pack tests. But don’t wanna see another positive test to then fade out. But also don’t wanna be drinking alcohol if I’m pregnant because I’ll only worry about that an worry about the baby 🙄 endless lol.

so who knows. But I’m super busy until then sorting packing etc so hopefully it passes fast 🤞🏼😳

Enjoy and keep us updated 🥰🥰

@OK92 I am so excited and then I forget and then I'm so excited again. I found out after he had gone to work so I had the day to think but we were also both out in the evening. I went to Petit Bateau and bought a little baby grow and put the tests inside the tissue paper then said I'd got him a little gift when I got home. He was so shocked - he was like is this yours... well whose else is it hahaha. He is just so happy, but also so so relieved. I really couldn't decide if I should buy the baby grow and I walked out of one shop but then I was like fuck it, you've got to enjoy it and just keep everything crossed. I'm really pleased I did. It was super special.

Hope you're progressing okay 💕

OK92 · 17/06/2022 14:55

@FlyOnTheWall89 amazing strong positive. So exciting! How did you tell OH?

@Indianna2006 hope you're doing well. Hope this is your cycle too 🤞🏼

FlyOnTheWall89 · 17/06/2022 09:26

Ye it's a bit mental to think about it like that time wise. It's a time stealer this TTC stuff. You're being incredible rational about things and you sound in a good space. Keeping everything crossed for you. You're totally right, once you are pregnant, it doesn't matter. You got there somehow! Xxx

@FlyOnTheWall89 yes lovely strong line so no worries about that! Deffo pregnant!! 👶🏼🥰

exactly. All that effort pays off sometimes. And like you say if it’s meant to be it all. Good ole HSG. Maybe it helped have clear path for them to get there. Either way don’t matter once you get pregnant does it. It’s worked that’s all that matters 🙂🙂

Yes back in the TWW 🙄🙈

I have no idea what to expect really. So I expect conception could be likely or not. Or am I miles off. I just really don’t know 😂 last month took me by surprise so much falling quickly makes no sense in my head.

I feel okay about everything as much as I can. I’ve resigned myself a little to stop thinking we are getting a baby and obsessing over wanting one. And it’s helped my head space a little. But at times it’s hard. I keep thinking about is be basically half way through a pregnant. And that does suck. But hey there is always another chance.
it will come if its meant to 👶🏼

FlyOnTheWall89 · 17/06/2022 08:51

Okay good, glad it is nice and strong. I dipped it and I could see the wee go up and a line and I thought no that must be the control line. I don't even do tests tbh. After month 3/4 of doing then I just found it such a mood killer. Then the lines just immediately blazed up and I was like WOOOOOWWWWW.

Totally. It's been 5/6 months of lifestyle improvements and consistent supplements by my OH. He hasn't had an SA since March and it's the second cycle after HSG. It was just meant to be.

How are you doing @Indianna2006 ? Are you back on the TWW? Xxx

@FlyOnTheWall89 wow yes lovely line for 15dpo!! Bet you couldn’t believe it.

this is what I mean. Anything can happen. Take us by surprise.

honestly so pleased for you hun. Think that’s made my day. Enjoy it. It’s such a lovely feeling.

and it’s worked. Just how amazing is that. You’d resigned yourself to think it would be ivf. And here is natural conception. Bet your partner must be thrilled as well!

now the fun begins 😂😂👶🏼

Hahahaha @Indianna2006 that made me laugh out loud.

@OK92 thank you 💕💕

So shocked and totally over the moon.

I tested because I was a day late but my cycles do vary by a day or 2 but I hadn't got to a CD31 since last summer... but expectations were very low.

In hindsight, I think I did have a few symptoms but it's hard to really be sure. Quite detailed dreams, I feel asleep at 7 for an hour and a half the other night - v unlike me to nap, had some funny pains in my legs, like growing pains... ummm think that was it until I got a positive and then I've noticed a pulled muscle feeling in my lower tummy and I guess you'd call it bloated... I normally wake up with a pretty flat tummy but it definitely a bit hard and bumpy.

That test is 15DPO I think. I didn't use OPKs or track or anything so that's presuming I would have ovulated on CD17 I think. Scrambled round in shock looking for another test and that digi said pregnant and I just thought FUCK. I was in a lot of shock.

Entering into 8th cycle..
OK92 · 17/06/2022 08:37

@FlyOnTheWall89 omg!!! CONGRATS!! You must be so shocked and over the moon. How are you feeling? Did you feel symptoms so tested or miss your AF? What wonderful news!

An update on this thread @Kiaa @OK92 @Indianna2006 -I got my BFP 💕 guys. I can't believe it. Trying to enjoy each moment and pinching myself a lot because this doesn't feel real. Xxxx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 02/06/2022 12:00

@Indianna2006 you're being so positive - really hoping it isn't a long wait now ... keeping everything crossed for you.

No, we have our appointment on Tuesday and it will get scheduled in then. I have a feeling it will be a September start because of various diary things. Funnily enough, having a real plan and just knowing we can start very soon has made me feel fine with waiting a bit. It would mean we have 2 more natural cycles to try ... Or maybe 1... not sure you can have sex in the month you start because obvs then you could be pregnant on CD21. Just have to hope it's relatively straightforward once we do get going!

Indianna2006 · 02/06/2022 09:29

@OK92 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Thank you. I so hope I can fall fairly soon.

@FlyOnTheWall89 have you been able to confirm when you can start your first ivf cycle?

well the bleeding started so that’s that.
Onto a fresh cycle which is prob for the best and hopefully one that makes much more sense.

Praying for a sticky bean not too far off 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Indianna2006 · 30/05/2022 15:54

@OK92 yes you’re right I think they are much more common. An had I not of tested if my chart didn’t look like a pregnancy one. I could of not caught the line on the frer. And had I tested today a day late for period. It would be blank. So goes to show doesn’t it..

I'm gonna try not read into it. But yes feel like was that my fertile boost and it hasn’t worked out…

its so hard isn’t it. I can’t seem keep hold of these babies. 3rd time lucky whenever that may be I guess..🤞🏼
