So yet again, af has got me. Brown spotting this morning after a cycle where I was actually genuinely convinced I'd done it this time. Oh well.

Only on month 5 of actively trying. I'm ttc no2. I'm awaiting a referral for a hospital appointment to investigate scarring in my uterus so every month that goes by without a pregnancy, the more I can't deny that there's obviously something wrong (I've conceived twice, both just after a missed pill so 5 months is long in comparison!)

Just thought I'd say hi and hope THIS might be our month and we have a chance at a baby in 2018 instead :)

Maybebaby2 · 06/05/2017 13:07

Officially boarding the May train! Was worried I was going to miss it after some cycle confusion but I'm here. This is the first cycle I'll be TTC on and I'm very, very nervous but prepared for the worst I think. Here we go! :D

Stats:
19
TTC #1
Cycle 1
CD 1

Maybebaby2 · 06/05/2017 14:49

bluee its a psychological thing isn't it the double shot month. Makes you feel like you have a second chance if af does show and not out for that month yet. Sorry you got a bfn today but keeping fx for you, if the witch isn't here yet then it's still game on!

MotherofBoy · 06/05/2017 15:47

Welcome mayoli! We're a friendly bunch Smile

MotherofBoy · 06/05/2017 15:48

Age is on your side though I'm sure I read somewhere that fertility is at its peak when you're 19 so could happen quickly you never know!

MrsHandles · 06/05/2017 15:56

The latest chart plus I have brown spotting today, Ovia says to test in 5 days. I suppose I'm just looking for anything that might indicate a positive. Does anyone think I might be successful this time?

ImBreakingBad · 06/05/2017 15:58

Blue I think I'm around that! I'm not due AF until Friday so this is a very very anxious wait. I hope to god AF doesn't come and this is the real thing.

Welcome to the newbies Grin.

hopingforabfp · 06/05/2017 17:19

Hi all, I bought the clear blue dual hormone OPKs today. When is it that I should start testing on a 35 day cycle would you say? I usually ovulate around day 25. Xx

mrsb87 · 06/05/2017 17:20

Welcome newbies!!! Fingers crossed for all of you.
Fingers crossed it's a sticky one Imbreaking!!
Still no af ....why is my body messing with me!?

BlueeSpottyTiger · 06/05/2017 19:13

Welcome new ladies!
GL breaking 🍀🤞
Mine looks similar mrshandles x

MrsHandles · 06/05/2017 19:24

FX for us both blue

sallywiththegoodhurr · 06/05/2017 19:29

Fingers crossed for you all!

I'm sure I'm going mad this cycle, I've got really sore nipples, really gassy and have lots of CM which have been my pregnancy symptoms every time and never had them when I haven't been PG. Totally fine with being out this month if AF shows, id just like to know either way!
Is anyone else this impatient?

Timpani · 06/05/2017 19:44

It's a long time since I charted but the dip could be an implantation dip? The best indicator is a triphasic line so it increases again after the Ov increase. It should only go triphasic if pregnant.

Timpani · 06/05/2017 19:46

I've got slightly tender breasts today. So think I must have ovulated yesterday or the day before. I had a peak opk on Thursday but didn't DTD til Friday night (but had done it before the positive opk so hoping that is enough). CD17 I think. Cycle number 2, 2 DC already (1x icsi, 1x nat)

BlueeSpottyTiger · 06/05/2017 20:44

timpani what's triphasis mean? X

I have 1 sore nipple.. does that count 😂
Might be the fact that dd is on and off like i dont know what at the moment.

Timpani · 06/05/2017 21:21

Like this:
So it shifts after Ov and then shifts a second time.

Blue - my left nipple is absolutely killing me! We seem to be a right group of people with sore nipples Grin.

DH is finding me hilarious. I've been crying twice tonight

boatrace30 · 06/05/2017 21:45

sally I'm with you on the impatience. Only Dpo4/6. I've stopped temping now I've confirmed ovulation as it stresses me too much! Trying so hard to starkly calm as stress can make progesterone decrease. (I'm sure I had low progesterone). Feeling utterly exhausted and stroppy today though which is a good early indicator that af is coming. (I usually only get to 9/10dpo)

BertieBotts · 06/05/2017 22:37

You're all doing great with all these BFPs so early Grin

boatrace do you mean you only get 9-10 days between Ov and AF? Or just that symptoms start by then?

I'm impatient for FW to start. Temps are inconclusive yet. I might need a new thermometer actually.

boatrace30 · 06/05/2017 22:58

Yep, AF starts around dpo 9/10. I have a short luteal phase which is why I'm not getting pregnant!! Keep hoping one of these months will be different

MrsHandles · 06/05/2017 23:00

I've had sore breasts for about five days now.

BertieBotts · 07/05/2017 01:01

Oh no boatrace how annoying, I thought that was supposed to be one of the easy ones to treat? Are you able to take anything to prolong it?

Ava1985 · 07/05/2017 07:25

Morning! breaking congrats and fx , I can def see the line!

Sorry for anyone who af got/gets this weekend Flowers

I'm 9dpo today and sore boobs have pretty much gone now and I just got a bfn on IC so pretty sure it's not to be this month. Will test again tomorrow though and af not due until Saturday so still a tiny ray of hope I suppose!
