TTC November baby

Bump.. please help! Xx

Cycle day 1 started for me today. Happy valentines day to Me lol
I guess I'll join this thread now
This will be my third cycle trying letrozole
Good luck to you all

@Tophy124 I have! For me it was quite intense pain BUT the pain lasted like 30 seconds and I would 100% do it again for the peace of mind. Definitely worth it

Only thing I would say is don’t get caught up in the idea it boosts your fertility for a few months - studies are limited and it certainly hasn’t been the case for me.

@LotzW i feel exactly the same 🙈 I spend my months waiting for period to finish, waiting for fertile period, waiting for peak, 2ww, af, and repeat. Currently cd15 and no static smiley yet.

I also go from nothing to peak really rapidly. I found clear blue somehow was better able to catch my ovulation days.

Has anyone had an HSG? My dr has put in paperwork for me but I’m terrified!!

@Maxime34 I often have to accept a 0.8 or similar as a ‘peak’ as I think I often peak overnight so can’t be getting up at 3am to test!

Oh I'm glad it's not just me @Superstorefan123 it stresses me out so much especially when it's a day late like this month I convince myself I missed it. I feel like the tests do this so you buy a million of them, I honestly keep them in business.

@Maxime34 i also have this! My LH was 0.1 in the morning and was a peak by 9pm the same day… so hard to catch it!

Is it normal to have a period of 7 days and still have ovulation as predicted on CD14?or will this move too? What happens if testing that I don't get a static smiley? Does that mean I don't ovulate this month? Can you not ovulate some months? I thought you had to if you have a regular period each month? Xx

@MilkyAndFluffy I'm cd15 and finally it looks like I've had my LH serge, mine Is so weird it literally comes out of nowhere it's not a gradual increase over a few days it just spikes on one day so it's so easy to miss. So I imagine I'll ovulate in the next 1-2 days. My husband is a bit under the weather though so I'll have to really work some special charm to entice him into a few more days dtd! I'm glad you've been more chill too, it definitely keeps it way more fun. We'll still be testing around the same time though which is nice and will make the worst bit of the cycle more bearable. I'm off on hols basically when I'll be testing end of next week so I'll just focus on that instead. You'll have to keep me posted if you feel any early symptoms. Sending all the lucky vibes xxx

CD17 today. Why is this part such a drag? Actually if I feel like I'm always waiting. Waiting for fertile window, 2ww, waiting for af to come and go and off again 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🥱

Hi @MilkyAndFluffy! So tested this morning and definitely not pregnant. Weirdly I stopped spotting the day before yesterday (after 5 days of spotting) and now I've come on properly? How weird is that! I'm normally so regular and this is the same as the previous month! Why! 😔😔 xxx

Thanks @NatGee and @Sierra26 ! Really interesting to see how your body changes isn't it. I'm useless at listening to my body but really going to try and see if I notice anything around ovulation.

I have to keep googling the acronyms used on this board! 😁

@Tophy124 aw big hugs to you - hope you're ok. It is still potentially early so you never know for certain until AF appears. 🤞🏻

Just did another test and star white!! So I’m thinking it was a chemical or dye run. Now I really am out of tests 😅 So forced to wait for AF on Friday!! Im better just not having tests in the house as I’ve had a few false alarms and it’s so disappointing

Thanks all!! I’m going to try and wait it out till AF shows as I’m not sure I can handle all the back and forth testing and getting my hopes up.

We only BD ONCE this month, 2 days before I ovulated so it would be a miraculous conception as I have stage 4 endo. I’m meant to be getting a HSG soon but keep delaying it!! Going for a root canal today as I read online they are fine if you are pregnant and I had one drink last night as I can’t keep acting like I’m pregnant each month, it’s driving me insane!! Fun story: we tried for my now 2yr old for MONTHS and I was about to go for another endo surgery, so decided to get my wisdom teeth pulled and went on a friends hen as there was no way id be pregnant that month right? Well my surgery got cancelled as he was in my belly!!

If anyone wants us to cast line eyes please post the tests!!

@JSP21 I wish I could give you an answer but I really hope you don't have a UTI (they're the worst!!) & it all works out 🤗

I am so confused with what is going on with my body!

I’m still breastfeeding my 15 month old milk monster but my periods have been back for 6 months, ranging from 25 - 31days.

This cycle is cycle 2 of ttc n2. I had a static smiley face on cd10 (earlier than I thought it would be). We dtd several times in the days around the static smiley face.

Today is now cd18. I’ve had severe nausea, needed bathroom 256000 times and I’ve had bleeding. The bleeding was red for a couple of hours and heavier than I’d expect for implantation bleeding (didn’t have this last pregnancy). It’s now less and brown.

Has my period come ridiculously early and coincided with a uti? If my cycle is now 17/18 days, will it even be possible to get pregnant again?

I guess I’ll find out soon enough but I hate the waiting around.

@SaltedChocohang in there! im on cycle 3 of the CBAD, CD13. Started testing on CD8 each time, and here’s how mine have worked…

month 1 - 1 day empty circle, 7 days flashing smiley before static

month 2 - 1 day empty circle, 3 days flashing before static

month 3 - 3 days empty, now on day 3 of flashing, awaiting that static but think it’s still a couple of days away.

I use the easy@home strips alongside as they’re cheap and I start doing two per day when I think I’m close. So if they start to darken I can do an extra CBAD in PM and catch/confirm the surge a bit earlier. I’m also starting to be able to tell when Im 24hrs from surge due to random cramps I think I’d thought were wind all these years until now 🤣

@Maxime34 I'm the same my surge comes out of nowhere. First couple of months that I used OPKs I was convinced I wasn't ovulating because I never got a surge but the next month I started testing twice a day and ever since it came like clockwork on the evening of CD 10. Still no surge but I'm now convinced I got it as normal on day 10 but just missed it on tests (I wasn't able to test at my usual times because of other plans). I got all my usual ovulation symptoms, cramp EWCM etc exactly as expected so trying not to focus too much on the lack of a surge. Really trying to take this month in a more chilled sort of way. We've been DTD roughly every second day anyway so we'll have caught it whenever it was.

Hi all! 7dpo today. Convinced I could see something on a frer today but I think I'm just hoping too much! Last time I got a shadow @ 8dpo then a faint (but there) positive the next morning. We only BD'd the day before ov and the day of sooo 🤞

What happens if I don't get the surge/static. Will it just stop flashing? Is that how I'll know? I swear the CB instructions don't make it simple to understand. They also call it 'making love' throughout them too 🙄

4th day of a flashing smiley today. Getting really annoyed with myself, I just want that static!! Donor has said he can come (haha) twice if it's this week, on the day I get the static, and the day after. I've read about people on here getting 10 days of flashing which I really hope doesn't happen to me! I'm on CD15 now.

@Tophy124 I see a line even in the bottom one! Given it's 9DPO, I wouldn't lose hope!

P.s. when my original message said 'they were stark white in the months we didn't TTC ', I meant the months we didn't conceive.
