I'm 19 and my partner is 22. Been Ttc since august 2022 with no luck :( currently 5dpo but not a lot of symptoms, to be fair it is still early. Had a few cramps the past couple of days. Been tracking bbt and opks and found my peak, and estimated I ovulated around 4am on the 18th. Got my peak at 9pm on the 17th, extremely bad cramps around 3am and then gone by 4:30. Opk was negative by 6am and has stayed negative since but my bbt chart looks all over the place. I take it every morning at 6:30 before even moving in bed but my chart still looks a bit funny compared to everyone else's. I'm usually between 35.9-36.3 but the day before ovulation my temp spiked up to 37.7. After ovulation day, it went to 37.1 and now sitting at 36.6 for the past few days. I really had a feeling this will be THE month but now I'm doubting it:( had sex 5 days before ovulation, the day before and the day after so I got my hopes up. Can't test Atleast until Saturday and period due on Tuesday. Fingers crossed🤞🏼🤞🏼
This is so much more mentally draining and more difficult then I ever thought it would be. Given the all clear for pcos but not ruled out endo. I was told it's not normal to have a high temp the day before ovulation and my temp isn't high enough now for implantation. Will attach my chart below! Let me know why you think! Also started taking folic acid and inositol on the 30th april as my last period only lasted 2 days and was closer to spotting than a period :/ 🤍🤍
The dotted line on my chart is ovulation day x❤️‍🔥

@winolo I got pregnant on cycle 17 but miscarried and now I’m in my first tww after mc.

Hi all, I just wondered how you were all getting on? X

@CAGH03 Technically you’ve only been pregnant for about 2 weeks since the baby implanted. With ovulation on cd16 your due date might change a few days later.

My doctor told me I'd be 6 weeks because of my last period, but they can tell more at my scan x

@CAGH03 absolutely amazing news🥰 may is a lovely time of year to have a birthday too. I bet you were so shocked and happy finding out after trying for a while.

I just scrolled down the thread and saw our last conversation where you said your period arrived on august 1st. Does this mean you were actually pregnant then?! Xx

It's so confusing! My last period started on the 1st, which would make me 6 weeks today. Although I didn't ovulate until the 16th. But they go by the first day of your last period. So technically I've only been pregnant 4 weeks, but the doctors say it's 6 weeks today. It's so confusing 🤣 super excited tho!! I'm a december baby and my partner is march so I feel may is a good time of year for a birthday. Super excited 🥳x

@CAGH03 Omg I can’t imagine how exciting this must be after trying for so long. Are you going in for early scan or waiting on a routine scan?

Super excited! Tried to get an early one but couldn't so have to wait until 9 weeks. I'm 6 today so 3 more weeks. Tempted to get a private one tho haha. I just feel completely exhausted I physically feel knackered 😩x

@CAGH03 Congrats!! Hope you have a healthy pregnancy. Still no luck here I’m on to cycle 15.

Thankyou! Think this was cycle 14? We used preseed lube for the first time when I ovulated on the 16/17th and it must have worked. I remember crying in the shower the same night thinking it was never going to work and now I'm almost 6 weeks. I really hope you get a sticky bean soon! It's name at the moment is bean, which is what my FH and my mum both call it. No one else knows but the day I found out my mum was throwing a summer party and i usually drink and smoke but obviously I wasn't so my mum and FH guessed. I was going to wait two days to tell my FH as at that point it was only a faint line. I got my positive on a digital the next morning 🥰

@CAGH03 how are you getting on?
I noticed the other thread got quiet and figured it’s full and I’m not sure if another was made or not.

Can't remember if another was made or not, but I'm now 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant 🥰 found out on the 26th. How are you getting on? x

@CAGH03 Awh no, it's so disheartening 😢 my period ended yesterday, just feels like going back to square 1 every month doesn't it x

It really does😩 mines pretty much gone, had one day of heavy and yesterday was just spotting/light so waiting to finish and then try again! This is cycle 13 but we've got our wedding coming up next July so we aren't 'trying trying' just if it happens it happens. I'm still tracking but it hasn't worked in the past so being more relaxed now x

@CAGH03 awww amazing news on the engagement, congratulations!! It's nice that you have the wedding to focus on now as well to take your mind off just ttc. Funny enough I also got engaged 2 weeks ago, what are the chances of that haha! still nothing for me but I am due on today so we will see. Fingers crossed for your bfp this time, when are you going to test? X

Congratulations! Af arrived a week late and due now on 2nd august 🤞🏼x

@chlx3 @ABLOSSOM how are you both doing? X

Just had the lightest 2 day period, if you can even call it that, so going to wait a few days and get a test. Also, I got engaged on the 12th June! And today is a year until the wedding🥰 but now onto cycle 12 if the test is negative :(. How are you? Did you get your bfp? x

@ABLOSSOM @chlx3 aww sorry it didn't work out both, fingers crossed for this month 🤞🏼I am now 2 weeks late on my period, but did a pregnancy test a few days ago which was negative. I thought my periods were back to normal after stopping my pill but maybe they aren't x

chlx3 · 01/06/2023 17:17

ABLOSSOM · 01/06/2023 17:15

@chlx3 awww I'm so sorry it hasn't worked out for you this month - fingers crossed it happens soon! Next cycle will be our 11th and I am getting blood tests on Sunday (day AF is due!) to start the ball rolling. I would call them up now if you haven't already and try and get things moving just so you have that peace of mind. X

That's a really good idea. They said once it's 12 months they can start doing tests and things but it's just so draining every month when it never works! Ill definitely give the doctors a call in the morning and see if they can start getting things going as I don't want to go through another month of trying to do everything as best as I can just to be heartbroken again when period arrives! I really hope things go well for you! 🤞🏼🤍x x
