11dpo and BFN today. I know it's not a definite no but I just don't feel like it's happened this month.

Has anyone been testing yet?

Good luck Ladies,

I used flo to track as I’d been on the depo came off and then tracked it. I got a normal cycle and on the very next one I was ovulating on the 31st/1st I did the deed on the 19th the following month we got our positive and im now 35 weeks pregnant. So I’m just here spreading some baby dust and good luck to you all on your journeys!! It will come and it’ll be the most beautiful thing in this world ❤️

@Whattodooo22 There are ao many similarities in our situations. We won't do IVF either. It's just not for us for many reasons.
We were TTC for two years for our first if that's any help. With one miscarriage before and nothing else in all that time until it finally just worked!

This time has been harder. Pregnant straight away but none made it past 9 weeks.
I have chemicals more than I don't conceive so the toll of that.. well I'm done now.
If I'm not pregnant this month, which im 95% sure I'm not, then im calling it a day.

Some people are so lucky that the TTC experience is lovely and exciting for them, for so many of us it's a very emotionally tiring affair. Although I've hopeful every single month and I refuse to let it get me down much. Counting my blessings.

Do you mind me asking how old you are?

Sorry about your miscarriages. We've been TTC for a sibling for our 3.5 yo for over two years and I've had so many miscarriages and chemicals I've lost count now.

We've officially stopped TTC now but will actually start preventing soon as I'm 43 now and that's roughly my cut off.

If I did fall pregnant now I'd be put on progesterone straight away so I test early for that.

Its very very tough. Im so sorry about your losses too. We have been on the ttc journey over 2 years aswell, unfortunately we have no children, we have had periods in between during this time where we took breaks for our mental health more than anything. I have been prescribed progestrone and aspirin too for when/If I get a positive test. Theres days I question if I even want this anymore, I know if it happened I would be so elated and truly happy but I feel this fertility journey has taken so much away from me there's days I just want to quit trying for good to try and be happy again. I have started to picture life without kids incase that is what it comes to for us to try and ease myself into the reality of that. I think I will give it maybe 6 months and if it doesnt happen in that time or I have any more losses then I think I will stop. I dont know if IVF is for me, its absolutely incredible when it works but speaking to a family member who had multiple unsuccessful rounds/losses the toll it took on her mentally, physically and on her marraige I am scared of that happening as all of the losses we have had already have truly taken their toll on my mental health as it is xx

I’m 8 dpo and just passed bright red blood. So, so depressed. I’ve been trying for ages, and was non stop DTD this month. Exhausting. Think it’s time for me to go to the doctor. Fingers crossed for you ladies.

Could it be implantation bleeding? Xx I did have some bleeding approx 9 days after ovulation around 2 years ago while ttc but I wasnt pregnant (had hcg bloods done) that cycle so I think the bleeding was just a random event. Im so sorry you are feeling like this. Its so awful, such a tough journey for so many. For me in the past I have gotten pregnant quite quickly but every time it has ended in miscarraige so its just really really difficult to feel hopeful/excited anymore.

Its so tough isnt it just waiting to test. On my previous pregnancies (all ended in miscarraige at various stages unfortunately) I always got my positives 9dpo so Im trying to hold out until then atleast, but I know sometimes it can take longer to get a positive. Im not feeling particularly hopeful this month but just want to know either way

Hi everyone. I didn't track either this month but just judging by ewcm and feelings i estimate I'm 8dpo now.

Was feeling a lot of symptoms but yesterday almost stopped.

@m00ngirl how long is your cycle usually? Could it be a bit of implantation bleeding?

I've had a bfn today. I had a chemical last month so maybe I ovulated later but we didn't dtd after that so we'll see.

7dpo today too so joining in for solidarity! Only managed to dtd on O-1 and O this month as my DS has been poorly so not feeling very hopeful.

Currently the plan is to wait until next Thursday to test at 13dpo but I'm sure I'll cave before then. I prefer to know it's negative before my period comes so I have time to accept it before feeling crappy but also know in previous months when I've tested too early I just keep telling myself theres still a chance which drives me insane.

I think Im 6dpo, I didnt track this month so not 100% sure. Flo app which is *usually pretty accurate for me is saying O was on the 12th, but I had O pains and ewcm on 14th so not too sure really 😅 but I'll jump on if thats ok (already driving myself crazy waiting to test)
