CD1 here, starting a new thread for those who are hoping to get a BFP in May for a January/February baby 🥰

This is my cycle 3 trying for #2. I've got an 18mo old son.

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing when I got my bfp with number 1 my one step test was so faint you could barely squint it but I had a really clear result on frer. I know they're expensive but it might be worth having a try to see 🤞

@allthingssparkly did you get your peak?

@salia12345678910 welcome! Hope this new medication works for you 🤞

@Skylark1990 sorry about the chemicals :( what age is dd?

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing I can still see a hint. Are they one step cheapies? When is af due?

@Jessie456 welcome! It does get so hard :( here's to this cycle 🤞

@Bluelightbaby it does get very frustrating - especially with life and low sex drive getting in the way. It does only take that one lucky one 🤞

Hi ladies, this is our first cycle trying again after a miscarriage. Hoping for a sibling for my little boy soon!

Harriet669 · 19/04/2022 16:19

@Bluelightbaby feeling the frustration here too! Mines away this week when I think ovulation will be so there's not much hope this month!

Bluelightbaby · 19/04/2022 16:01

Finding TTC so frustrating. Every month something seems to get in the way of us ttc during my fertile period. Last month I had covid whilst I was fertile/ovulating this month we’re on opposite shift patterns so barely seeing one another, despite living in the same house I literally am not seeing him (except at work 🚑) until Saturday afternoon !!

We’ve been ttc since dec but only manage 3-4x a month due to our shift, things keep getting in the way (covid) and his very low sex drive :(:(

I’m 42 so time is of the essence :(

Skylark1990 · 19/04/2022 15:30

@Catred4 Aww pumping for 5 months is incredible too, it's so much admin! Go you! That's some serious commitment. ❤️ Why did you stop direct Breastfeeding if you don't mind me asking? I'm sure you'll have a better experience second time, I think just knowing more about what we are going into can really help. Would recommend the books by La Leche League, as well as their free online course. Both helped me a lot!

Yes I'm really glad I'm being seen. My gut tells me the losses are to do with me being a bit run down but best to rule other things out if I can... 🤞are you using the LH sticks and temping at all? How old is your DS? X

@Skylark1990 that's so good that the GP is taking it seriously. I also have a (nearly). An wow breastfeeding still, well done you! I breasted for the first 5 weeks then pumped for 5 months then my supply completely went! Really hope if we have another baby I manage to have a better bfing experience! We've been trying properly for 2 months, before that I wasn't really tracking ovulation just doing whatever whenever, currently on CD12 but normally ovulate around CD18 so fingers crossed!

@Skylark1990

Hi *@Jessie456* and welcome. Yes so hard to remain positive! Sorry you've not had your bfp yet. I'm cd 3 so just two ahead of you :)
Very sorry to hear about your miscarriages, hopefully this is your month!
Skylark1990 · 19/04/2022 14:18

Hi @Jessie456 and welcome. Yes so hard to remain positive! Sorry you've not had your bfp yet. I'm cd 3 so just two ahead of you :)

Skylark1990 · 19/04/2022 14:17

Thanks @Catred4 x which cycle and cd are you on now?

Yes I definitely thought it would maybe take us 3 months at most! It's crazy how it can be so different. To be fair tho, it's pretty tiring having a toddler and I'm still breastfeeding, plus had a few health issues recently so I guess my body is going through a lot ATM. I'm also working almost full time so basically I'm just exhausted 😅

Just spoke to the GP and she's going to get me in for some tests just to try to rule out any issues so I'm grateful she's taking my miscarriages seriously. Makes me feel better knowing that I'll be seen!

Jessie456 · 19/04/2022 14:15

Hi All, would love to join the chat!

Very much in the same position as @Skylark1990 trying since December 21 for #2 thought it would be quick like the first but nothing!
AF showed its face this morning so new cycle begins, it's hard to remain positive every month isn't it!

Hi @Skylark1990 so sorry to hear of your struggles, we conceived first time with my DS too, think I got a bit complacent that it would happen straight away again

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing worth buying a FRER you think? X

Hey all, would love to join.

I'm TTC no.2, have a 19mo DD. We have been trying since December 21 and I have had two chemical pregnancies / early losses, one in Jan, and one just now (on CD3 of the miscarriage/ period). It sounds like a few others have been through similar... Sending love.

We conceived DD straight away so been a bit of a shock to be going through all this.

Taking lots of vitamins and trying to focus on a healthy lifestyle and diet, rather than get bogged down with worry about whether I'm not able to have another baby now 😞

Hoping we all get bfps this cycle 🤞💖

@salia12345678910 sorry yes that's what I meant. Aww fingers crossed!!! That would be fab if the new medication is working for you! X

@Catred4 I don't think i ovulated naturally as I was on letrozole this month but I'm over the moon if I have actually ovulated as my body did not respond to clomid 😫 BD every 2-3 days which I'm not sure was enough, hoping BBT stays consistent now 🤞🏻

Hi @salia12345678910 oh wow that would great if you naturally ovulated! Did you DTD at a good time if you have ovulated? Fingers crossed!

salia12345678910 · 19/04/2022 11:40

Hi all! Would love to join, TTC #1 with 2 failed clomid cycles and switched over to letrozole 5mg this April, currently cd18 with negative OPK but 3 high temps after a dip and previous lower/stable temperatures, was waiting for ovulation but with the way BBT is looking I may have already ovulated? Which is great as I can't remember the last time I naturally ovulated, probably 2 years ago now, and my body did not respond to clomid at all, so fingers crossed this time 🥺🤞🏻

Thank you @Catred4 🥰
