6 months plus ttc (continuation of 6/7 months ttc) all welcome

[Twinkletoes85]

Hi everyone just another continuation thread 😊

Sorry to hear that @Aokbaby xx

I've got mild cramps and in a terrible mood. Just had a raging fight with my husband in which I slammed the bedroom door shut so hard the walls shook 😳 (proper teenage me style) so it's either PMS or I'm up the duff. Have a feeling this isn't my month though. Literally no way to know either way until Weds! 🤯

@Dbop100 @lamby12 thanks ladies, didn't think it was my month but still always gutting. Just had my first coffee in about 3 weeks to cheer myself up-bliss!!

Also just to let you all know, I stopped taking pregnacare this cycle, just took vit d and folic acid and epo up until ovulation. I ovulated on cd15 this cycle whereas when I was on pregnacare ov didn't happen to cd 18/19, so it definitely extended my ovulation but didn't extend my leutal phase as af always arrived about 9 days later. Af still not here fully this cycle but if it arrives on sun it will be on cd28 which would be the normal range for leutal phase, thankfully (was so worried about short leutal phase) Just incase any of you are interested x

Thanks @KK251289! enjoy FW!x

@Aokbaby sucks don't it! Thank you darlin x

@lamby12 no, I'll test tomorrow at 11dpo. I feel my period coming tho as I have pms and cramps on and off. Only doing it so that I don't feel guilty for drinking this weekend. My sisters baby shower on Sunday 🥺
Sorry to hear you're on. Mine feel worse too! The pain and pms is unbearable!

@Dbop100 my pms sounds as bad as yours. Husband said I was going brake the curtain rail with the force I gave it when opening the curtains this morning lol! I snapped right bk and stomped away until I calmed down.

@notyetamumbuttrying omg I was 13 again for a second there! Raging hormonal anger coursing through my veins 🤣 we've made up now. I was also probably hungry. Sending you strength for the baby shower, We're seeing friends with a newborn on Sunday who started trying when we did and got pregnant the first try! 🙃 yyaaaaayyyy

@Aokbaby yes I feel you on the coffee, I'm on decaf until I get the BFN. I hope your having some chocolate and wine this weekend too!

@Dbop100 oooh yess all the bad stuff🤣🤣 I've been surprisingly calm this cycle, especially with DH, nicer to him in fact he even mentioned it lol I must be a right cow every other cycle🤣

@Dbop100 oh jeez feel for you!! Stay strong lovely. My other mate is having a baby shower in October and they started trying about a month before us. Just hoping I'm pregnant by then cos I really will be crushed if not! Such fun ttc eh 🙃

[quote notyetamumbuttrying]@Aokbaby lol tough isn't it! 9dpo and testing on Saturday even tho I know it's pointless 😂 such fun eh![/quote]
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thanks @Crayon7! Where are you in your cycle?

Hi Everyone can I join? I am also trying to conceive since February but have PCOS. I am on my 3rd month of fertility meds. Hoping I ovulate this month as I haven’t before now. Have attached a picture of yesterdays OPKs at different times. I think it’s heading in the right direction?! I don’t want to miss it! It’s so nice to see I am not alone right now x

@notyetamumbuttrying

Thanks *@Crayon7*! Where are you in your cycle?

4dpo.

Hi @BEESY90 welcome to the group, those lines are stronger than I've ever got with using those opks, are they one step? Definitely looks like ovulation 🤞 x

Hi @Aokbaby yes one step. The line doesn’t seem to be getting any darker though 😔 after reading some chats I have seen that seems to common with these though?! X

@BEESY90 Yea I only ever got a line dark enough as the control line one time using these, splashed out and bought the clearblue digital with the smiley face and it was much easier to use and detected ovulation no problem for me, I got mine on Amazon for 16 (usually around 50) a lady on here let us know they were on offer. Maybe keep an eye out on Amazon for deals x

My lines are lighter today. Feel unsure now [

@BEESY90 I used the one step ones for a while and never got a peak, switched to Wondfo and have had a peak every month. Would definitely recommend trying a different brand - know lots of ladies prefer the smiley face one, but I also have suspected PCOS so start testing with cheap OPKs almost straight after AF as my cycles are so irregular...as they're so cheap don't mind getting through lots each cycle x

Hi everyone,

So sorry to hear about the AFs turning up but after having a nearly 5 week long AF it has finally gone!! So I can continue on this TTC journey with you all. It is such a rollercoaster, just hoping this cycle goes back to normal.

@Florence13 That is horribly, thank goodness it's finally gone! Did the Drs finally listen to you or did it end naturally? Fingers crossed this cycle is a normal one for you x

Hi @Tink2019 the doctors were not interested and luckily it ended naturally thank goodness. Hope it was just a one off weird cycle. So frustrating when you have already been trying for so long though. And thank you x

Wow thank god for that! @Florence13 what a relief for you! Best of luck in this cycle 🍀

@notyetamumbuttrying aww thank you so much hun. Really appreciate all the support on here

How's everyone doing? Did we all get BFN's? 😩

I'm due on tomorrow and feeling like it's not happening this month. Did a couple of early tests and got BFN's (11&12DPO), had my usual PMS migraine yesterday, having light cramps. I'm 99% sure it's not happening.

Surely someone's had some luck?

I am 8dpo and can't wait to be 12dpo To test "properly"

I'm in the same boat, I'm 12 DPO and got my usual BFN this morning so hold out no hope for this long cycle (I think I'm on day 41 ) - would love to hear some good news from someone in this group though!!

No luck for me either! Came on 3 days ago (early) currently waiting for call bk from docs now to start blood tests.

Ah man this is just not fair at least one of us deserves a BFP!

@notyetamumbuttrying that's really good that your getting tested. We've been referred to the fertility clinic but I spoke to them yesterday and they're still closed for new patients (only doing those in the middle of IVF which is fair enough) and he said there is a 5month backlog 🥺 we're in London so I hope it's not the same everywhere. He was really nice about it and let me do the AMH blood test today so at least we'll know if we have the time to wait or if we need to get cracking and go private!
