TTC October 2020 Bus

[SarahMumof1DS]

Welcome all, current and new ladies TTC!
Let's keep each other positive on our journey to our BFP's! 🤗

@SarahMumof1DS this is the first lot of bloods I've ever had done for fertility so it's disheartened me a bit.
Unfortunately I'm due AF in 4 days and got all my textbook AF signs so I'm 100% certain it's another BFN. Can't believe it'll be me starting cycle 14 TTC 😞 I've got 3 close friends pregnant, 1 due any day now and my colleague heavily pregnant so there's no escape. Doesn't help DH can't get SA done either due to NHS issues.
Conversations have been had around ivf and adoption but if I'm honest, if I don't get pregnant after 18 months I think I'll just resign to the fact it'll never happen. Like natures way of saying "nope" if that names sense. Very depressing! Can tell I've turned to the wine tonight 😂

@Theawkwardblonde I'm starting cycle #12 in 5 days (Thursday) so I'm in a similar boat to you. We will be having a chat with our gp after Christmas if no joy by then

Hi ladies, can I join in please? I’m approx 8dpo and stupidly tested today only to get a BFN. I know it’s still early days so will try hold out and test again in a few days time if I can wait that long 😂 I have a feeling this month will be another no though..
I’ve been off the pill since Nov 2019, fell pregnant in Feb 2020 which I miscarried in April 2020 but turned out to be an incomplete miscarriage which wasn’t picked up until June so then had a D&C. Have had a CP since then as well. I’ve also had an ectopic a few years back and as a result of that I now only have one tube. I am really lucky to already have 2 beautiful boys and I’m super grateful for them. I would just love to be a mum of 3 so TTC for nearly a year has been quite hard and full of ups and downs. Although I don’t post much on mumsnet I get so much support from it 💖
Congrats to those with BFP’s! And baby dust to those trying and waiting xx

Hi @Sunflowers81! Hope you are okay? Thanks for your message. Nothing so far. Not even a sausage. AF hasnt turned up yet and normally I would feel really rubbish a couple of days before with PMS. So either I am having a longer cycle than predicted by my apps and AF is just lurking in the wings biding her sweet time or there's still a chance but trying to be pragmatic. Thought I saw a really, really faint line yesterday but after making DH inspect we concluded it was probably just evap lines and to stop squinting 🤣

Hows everything going for you? How are you feeling? Xx

@SparkyLauz hope you are ok, how are you feeling? Xx

@SunnydazeQ how are you? Hope you are having a nice weekend? Xx

@danigrace thank you for replying. Wow that’s interesting, would you mind if I asked what supplements you took that were similar to clomid? I don’t seem to have an issue with periods as I have one every month and they seem mostly quite regular. I just don’t know if I’m ovulating as Ive had multiple surges a month one time and they’re very short, that’s only when I don’t miss them!

@Farfaraway1 I'm sorry to read about all that you've been through and how positive you're being despite it. Lots of baby dust to you and hope you get your well deserved sticky bean this month! x

@Theawkwardblonde oh I'm so sorry that you're getting to the point of feeling so down. It's a lot to deal with and 14 months must feel like a lifetime. Please don't give up hope. Have you tried stopping tracking and just DTD regularly? I've heard of so many stories of people who gave up trying and fell pregnant. And actually my second cousins wife adopted two girls as was told she couldn't conceive and then one day fell pregnant naturally. I know it's cliche and I hope you don't think I'm being patronising, but if you're at the point of giving up then maybe it's an option?
I don't blame you for getting the wine out! And even with AF Symptoms you're not out yet! Sending you hugs and keeping my fx for you 😊.

Me and DH haven't been officially trying this month but he did want to DTD a couple of times and we didn't use protection and the latter time was just outside my fertile window. Then because I haven't been tracking this month only temping, I ended up having a gradual temp rise after ov and now I don't know when I actually ovulated. So now I don't know if there's a chance that I could be this month depending on when I did actually ov. If I ov'd around my usual date then its about 4-5 days we DTD before ov. So I guess there could be a chance.

Good morning ladies,

Just hoping back on the bus if you all don’t mind, 12dpo, AF due in 2 days don’t feel like she’s coming 🤷🏼‍♀️ I had a CP last month, it has been lovely to read all your comments and I wish everyone the best of luck for this cycle or for the next, sending positive sticky baby vibes! X

Thank you @SarahMumof1DS 😘 💖 it’s definitely been a journey! Hopefully with a beautiful rainbow baby waiting at the end of it...

Hey @gracie2307 I’m in the exact same boat, I had a negative test this morning, CD26, but no af symptoms, so we’re kind of in limbo. I’ve been having kind of stabby, pulling sensations around my uterus and ovaries.
Going to have a relaxing day, and go for a walk in the countryside to take my mind off it. What are you up to today? x

Hi ladies hope it’s okay for me join you all? I’m 19 dpo today but done 2 tests and both are negative I’ve been tracking my cycle for 2 years though and I‘m NEVER late so I feel like it’s too much of a coincidence to be 5 days late the second month that we TTC - is there a chance I’m pregnant...?

Good luck to everyone hoping for BFP

@Sunflowers81 Thats exactly what I have felt! So strange, I would say its a different sensation to typical PMS/AF cramps and has been fleeting. That sounds like a lovely day 😊 I hope you have a wonderful walk! We had friends round to stay for dinner, so we are going on a nice walk before they head off. Then I feel a sofa afternoon with watching the Strictly launch is on the cards much to my DH's delight 😂 xx

Hi ladies,

I haven’t been in here for a little while. Needed some time to get my head together.
Anyway... i have been tracking ovulation on cheapies for the first time seen as my digital gave me a false positive ovulation last month. I thought it would be easier but now I’m even more confused. It is saying i’ve had a peak but it didn’t look like it was darker than the control line. Help???

I’m so confused.

@Farfaraway1 9dpo here 🙋🏼‍♀️. When do you think you will text again? Sorry to hear about your losses. I had a MMC in 2015, followed by birth of my baby girl in 2019. Now trying for baby no 2 🤞🏻

@MamaPheebz if the test afterwards isn't as 'positive' as the one before then it'll calculate that as your peak! Does that make sense? It would probably have just said 'high' until you uploaded your next test which would have shown a decrease, therefore that test was your highest and your peak.

Good news for me today, my lovely OH proposed this weekend 👰🏼 so now my head is scrambled with weddings as well as TTC!

Congratulations @jessicalouise10!! 👰 What lovely news! How did he propose? So exciting! Xxx

Congratulations @jessicalouise10 so excitinggg!
How did he pop the question?x

@jessicalouise10 congratulations!!

Hi guys, hoping for some help on this OPK. I don’t often catch my LH surge, I now think this is due to PCOS, the fertility doctor said to start testing on Monday but I’m impatient so I’ve just done one and this is the result, do you think it might be positive later today or tomorrow? I think this is probably one of the darkest ones I’ve ever had 😃 also please excuse the dust it’s been a long week!

@Farfaraway1 I just can't begin to imagine. All fx for your 🌈👼 #3❤️
Yeah give it a few days to test again maybe.
I think I might be about 8dpo too if I've ovulated on my usual day. Had a bit of a weird one this month so not sure when I actually ovulated. x

@Kg87 yeah keep testing every few hours maybe if you've got enough sticks. I do about 3 per day around the time I think I'm ov so I don't miss it. Looks like It might get stronger soon hopefully especially if you don't get strong line like that usually. Let us know how you get on!

@jessicalouise10 many congratulations!! ❤️💍

Welcome @redpeppersoup sounds like a good sign. You might be one of those people who don't get a positive test until a week or so after missed period. It can happen, read it a few times on the forum. You're not out until AF arrives! Keeping my fx for your BFP. x
