Positive conception stories? Feeling down

Okay so I just want to hear some positive stories as I'm feeling a little down, I track my ovulation on the Ovia app which I know might not be perfect but it's what I use. Anyways my fertile window apparently started on September the 28th until the 3rd of September and I BD on the 2nd and on the 5th and a few more times this months? I spotted for three days on the 13th, 14th and 15th alongside some cramps, AF is due tomorrow, but I feel like AF isnt coming, but now wondering if the spotting was a light period? But it was pinkish/ brown blood; didn't even fill one pad a day? all tests I've done are neg, feeling crushed at the moment, feels like it's never going to happen :(

Today i had a bit if red this morning but only when i wiped and since then I've had nothing...I've had bfn tests so far... but i know I'm very early... thinking of you xxx

Sounds like we are in the same boat, honestly so frustrating ! I'm early with my tests too but I can help myself. I use amazon cheapie HPT so that I don't spend loads of money on tests because I just can't help myself 😭 x

I caught my first month and lost at 11 weeks. Then took me a year. I was tracking with temping and fertility friend and was feeling so hopeless by the end. I was taking ALL the vitamins, fish oils, evening primrose oil everything. We'd even started using pressed lube which I didn't particularly like using. I'd also given in and started to put my bum up on pillows immediately after sex. We'd not done that as I thought it'd make it even more like a job than fun but in the end doing that made it funny and a giggle trying to get my bum in the air with dh helping me and it really lifted the mood.

Anyway! Took me a year and my little one is 10 months old now.

Best thing you can do is relax a bit. I honestly think the jokes and laughing was what helped in the end as it totally relaxed us. (I also know being told to relax when ttc makes you want to pour boiling oil over people Grin)
