Hoping for a BFP October/November

@Butterfliesandroses I really hope that’s the same for me. It plummeted below the cover line then shot straight back up. But I’m more than capable of kidding myself and like i said I haven’t been exactly scientific about times I take my temp . Also some days I forget to do it first thing so it’s been a few mins awake before I’ve taken the temp 😫

CD12 and waiting for EWCM to start and LH to look promising - cycles seem to have stabilised. When we started ttc I’d ovulate around now (9 months ago) but the last 3/4 months it’s been around CD16 - I assume this is a good thing

Ordered some fertility friendly lube - has anyone had success with this?

I was struggling to feel positive about this cycle but then I saw something that was a good omen and I thought this could be it so we shall see!

@Saribon I got a big implantation dip this cycle and got my BFP. Good luck!

Good luck to all of you ladies xx

@BCxx im on cycle 7 of tracking and cycle 10 of trying - this month has felt the hardest!!

@Saribon i have also wondered whether my lining might be too thin based on my periods. Previous research said pomegranate juice is meant to be good for progesterone levels after ovulation but I don’t know how accurate that is.

@BCxx were you on contraception before you started trying?

@BCxx Do you have a short luteal phase? Mine is 10 days and I worry about how light my periods are. They last like three days sometimes two and that makes me worry that I’m not producing a decent lining. I really need to look into what I can take to improve this stuff. I took Agni’s cactus for a month but stopped because I felt like I didn't understand enough about what I was doing to my body. I also only have one tube cos I had an ectopic oh and I’m 39 so I’m def up against it x

1dpo here! And the TWW begins. We DTD O, O-2, O-3, wanted to try more but just didn’t happen. I have everything crossed. Please this cycle be the one, cycle 14

@buttercupbee its so hard not to I think, it is easier now I have one already so it’s not the desperation to be able to push a pram or any of that like I had last time, it’s more just about timings this time and the fact I don’t want them being too far apart

@UserL95 oh no, hopefully it’s not, there is still a chance! What cycle are you on? X

@Saribon aww no that must be hard 😔 It is totally like that, you are genuinely happy for them but your face can’t always do that expression when it’s mixed with the sadness and almost panic at the fact you’re not pregnant yet. I really haven’t been trying that long, we only got married in the summer but AF keeps arriving too early for a pregnancy to even get a chance to implant so I feel like it’s just going to keep happening 🤦🏻‍♀️

@kizzy97 I know what you mean xx

I’m now 12DPO and had some slight light pink discharge. Been testing every morning getting bfn. Thinking this may be AF showing up now. Don’t know how much longer I can cope with these high emotions and disappointment.

@My2boysaremyworld it's weird some cycles I do and some I don't since I started ttc my cycles don't seem to follow any rules anymore 😅

@BCxx it’s similar to the pressure of braxton hicks contraction. Like a tightening without pain, very weird

I’m sorry your struggling at the min. It’s a bloody awful time. I had a chemical in July and joined a thread on here that grew into a Facebook group. I don’t use Facebook often but I logged in yesterday and all the women were posting scan photos and that was hard to see. It’s like you don’t resent anyone else’s happiness but you just want yours too.

x

@BCxx yes, so many people I know are pregnant right now! Obviously I’m happy for them but it does make me wish it was me. Fingers crossed for November!

Anyone else just getting to the ‘everyone else is pregnant’ stage? I feel like it’s all I see everywhere I look 🙈 I went to see my friend’s newborn and the topic came up. She was telling us how she’d just stopped the pill and instantly fell pregnant that month. She was so shocked because she didn’t expect it so quick etc and I’m just sat there like no way! Trying to do a proper poker face and shrug off any question that comes my way about wanting another one 😩 One of my best friend’s had a little boy at the same time as me last time and basically said in a round about way the last time I saw her that they wanted to have another soon and were going to start trying. She made it kind of a joke and I just agreed but didn’t actually give away that I felt the same. I’m now thinking she’ll be due to appear with a scan picture any day and my face is going to struggle to hide the disappointment that we aren’t doing it together this time 🙈 I just need to hope November is the month!

@Saribon I got that feeling with my son that I could only really describe as a heavy uterus, it was like I could feel light pressure on my cervix!

@Olegia thank you 😊 and yeah I agree with symptoms at 5DPO but I’ve been reading that occasionally you can get a significant dip in temperature in your BBT chart when a pregnancy implants? I know I implanted early last time I got pregnant so that’s had my mind working overtime. I don’t think implantation dips are particularly reliable though and i have been a bit flaky with the time I take my temp so who knows ….I’ll see next Friday I expect

@kizzy97 do you not normally get that when AF is due then? Xx

@Saribon welcome!! Glad to have anyone TWW'ing :) I also had this heavy/achey feeling you described, at around 7DPO
I think 5DPO is really too early to have any noticeable standing-out symptoms, it's just about the wait now

@My2boysaremyworld my boobs have been killing me for the last week and some twinges in my lower abdomen but nothing really other than that xx

Hi, I joined this thread when it started but then never contributed anything since because I was trying to put it to the back of my mind. This worked fine until I had a massive dip on my BBT chart at 5DPO and now I’m back to being obsessed. I’m 7 dpo now and would be due AF next Friday. I can’t spend a week driving my boyfriend nuts with this so I wondered if I could check back in here ??

No symptoms at all for me really apart from what I’ll call cramps yesterday. Tbf it was more of like a achey/ heavy uterus feeling that lasted maybe half a day

@kizzy97 are you getting signs she's on her way? Xx

@Sparklythings1 thank you xx
