Hello ladies, is it too late to join?

Congrats to the successes! And lots of luck to everyone else :)

I'm 33, ttc#1
Cycle 14 and losing hope.
9DPO currently
Negative test today

Thought this would be my month as we even went on hols for my peak days! And have had what I think are symptoms... and I guess I just 'had a feeling', you know? Anyone get that?

Expecting AF thurs 14th x

starkid · 11/03/2019 16:53

@MotherOfShihTzus - Have you been to the doctors at all yet? Sorry you're struggling :( xx

I hype myself into possibly being pregnant each cycle unfortunately!

MrsAW2018 · 11/03/2019 16:59

Hey ladies. Hope you're all well! Have had a break from MN for a couple of weeks but I'm back now!

Congrats to all those who have got their BFPs since I've been away!

I'm currently on CD24 and 6dpo. Due AF on 18/03.

Going to hold off testing until the weekend- for the first time ever I'm not desperately wanting to test early which is weird! Not sure why!

I can't believe how fast the thread goes... I hope it's a lucky thread for us all!

MrsH497 · 11/03/2019 17:04

Congratulations @Toka beautiful line.

So I suddenly realised that the 16th is my 10 anniversary of being a 👮🏻‍♀️ don't know where that time has gone!

Got awful heartburn today probably about 7/8 dpo i think.
Went looking at houses on Sunday which was a bit Confused

RosettaR · 11/03/2019 17:21

Congratulations @Toka! Fingers crossed for you.

@Hannah192 I fink opks so hard too! I stopped using them in the end because I felt it was making me dehydrated and you're meant to stay hydrated to help ewcm. My cycles are regular so I'm pretty sure were timing it right anyway.

Hi @MotherOfShihTzus. I only just joined so hope it's not too late. Fingers crossed for you in the next few days.

Hi @MrsH487. My dh wants to start looking at houses. I've been talking about it for ages but now with ttc it feels like tempting fate, because we'd be looking specifically near good schools etc. Did you see any nice ones?

So AF came today, after I spent most of yesterday convinced I was pregnant. I had a really pressured work meeting and it showed up right before, so great timing too. I managed not to cry in the meeting though! I had such a good feeling this cycle as well, I was suddenly exhausted around 8 dpo, I was noticing smells more, felt like water tasted different ... it's amazing how I can convince myself of these things and then AF comes like clockwork. Onto cycle 8 now, and losing hope of it happening.

MotherOfShihTzus · 11/03/2019 17:33

@starkid I have been yes; as soon as I hit 12 months. Bloods came back fine, I'm waiting for the fertility clinic to get in touch which takes at least 6 months apparently - wish I'd known that! My OH is getting sperm tested this week... I just know it's me though - it's always been a niggling feeling/ my biggest fear and sure enough, I seem to be right. Only used the digital OPKs last 2 months.

How's your cycle going? Best of luck!

MotherOfShihTzus · 11/03/2019 17:35

@RosettaR

So sorry about AF - I feel you. It's soul destroying - but all we can do is try and gear up for the month - stay strong . Best of luck. We must have similar cycles as I'm on the lookout for AF this week - or more precisely- hoping to avoid x

RosettaR · 11/03/2019 17:46

@MotherOfShihTzus I know, on to the next cycle. I had 21 day bloods done this month as well so we'll see if that shows anything. That's all the doctor would do before 1 year.

Soda123x · 11/03/2019 17:51

Sooo ... AF decided to show this afternoon and I'm out this month :(
Was only on cycle 2 but going to have a 3month break now (timing not quite right for holidays and sisters wedding etc)
I'm going to use this next 3 months to lose some weight, get more active, and keep inputting data into clue app so gets more precise.
Good luck to all !! Xxx

starkid · 11/03/2019 18:05

@MotherOfShihTzus - shit really, another 6 months of waiting?! That's pants :( Sorry to hear it

BostonFern · 11/03/2019 18:54

Congratulations @Toka ! Hope you have a happy and healthy nine months.

@Hannah192 I know what you mean about OPKs- I teach so the lack of drinking and toilet breaks isn't too tricky most afternoons 😂 I do my OPKs when I get home from work normally.

Good luck @LikeTheFruit!

Hi @MotherOfShihTzus Sorry you're having a tough time.

Welcome back @MrsAW2018 👋🏻

@MrsH497 did you see anything you liked?

@RosettaR sorry she's shown up.
Sorry to hear that too @Soda123x

CD15 and 4dpo here-not symptom spotting yet, but not sure how long that will last! Once I get to 6dpo I know I'll start wondering if implantation could happen.

Jessikka · 11/03/2019 18:55

Please can I ask a question that is too TMI even for a place that is TMI safe 😂

For you ladies who have a handle on their AFs and use pads so physically see their AF...

Have you ever noticed you produce EWCM looking mucus whilst bleeding?🙈😳
I know it's NOT fertile EWCM but it's the best way to describe what i saw last night.

The internet says it's from oestrogen which is fine but the reason I'm asking is that I'm still adjusting from bc pills and I've not seen it before.... and I'm hoping and praying that I'm starting to become "normal" for me and this may be the month I go on to make fertile EWCM 🤞 as my logic says maybe if I'm able to produce it now... i may be able too in a few days. (Short cycle)

Thanks!

BabySquid · 11/03/2019 18:59

@MotherOfShihTzus welcome to the thread, sorry about your neg but 9DPO is still super early to test at. Hold out a few days and you never know. I know what you mean about always having a niggling feeling about it though as I've always had the same. I'm currently on cycle 11. I've always said to my husband "if we couldn't have kids" and I think it's coz deep down that's how I feel.

Massive congratulations @Toka what cycle are you on? Has anyone taken on responsibility on updating the stats? If not I may as well, feel like I'll be on this tread forever!

@RosettaR and @Soda123x sorry the bitch showed up for you.

I've been off today with a migraine, finally got my sight back a couple hours ago, I've been taking my temps for a couple of days now and from when I stopped in November they're really low for this time of month. I'm on cd14 due to ov Sunday and my temp this morning was only 35.92! It used to be around 36.3/4 at this point. Not sure if it's the soy iso's, the pregnacare conception vits or just me!!

Toka · 11/03/2019 19:10

Thank you @BostonFern @RosettaR @BabySquid! X

I am/was second cycle officially trying (the cp in January was a wee bit unexpected) and am 30. Good luck to everyone still in this month 💕

MrsH497 · 11/03/2019 19:12

We did a lovely new build but when we've looked at the mortgage monthly payments it's not doable 😔

Hannah192 · 11/03/2019 19:44

@RosettaR they are! I’ve said to the OH that I may give them up after this month so at least we have a good idea on ovulation date. That’s what I thought. It can’t be very good for you! That’s good that you have the timing about right.
@BostonFern 😂 helpful in some ways then! I’m based in an office and the drinks tend to keep flowing but managed to say no today 🙄 are you in your tww? Good luck!

orangeloo · 11/03/2019 20:17

@BabySquid thank you for offering to do the stats.

@Hannah192 @RosettaR if you are struggling with the OPK's and afternoon wee. Clear blue advanced digital OPK you can use FMU which takes away that problem. I know they are more pricey but from what I've heard ppl go through loads of the cheap internet ones so may even out a bit and u haven't got to keep doing the clear blues. Just a thought.

@Jessikka I can't say I've definitely had that exactly but I would say it is a good sign. FX you get some next cycle, if you don't maybe look into getting some pre seed.

BabySquid · 11/03/2019 20:24

Thank you for the role call @BabySquid. Just checking in to say I got my BFP on a FRER on Saturday, confirmed on a CB digital yesterday. I'm completely gobsmacked! It's early days but the doctors have made my booking appointment for 4 weeks time!
