Ttc #1 - cycle 7

[rosiej95]

Really fed up of AF showing up month after month now 🤦🏼‍♀️ we've been taking the see what happens but dtd lots approach. But now going into month 7 so We've decided to use the clear blue opk's to see if it gives us a better chance. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Now to just wait for AF to disappear 😀

Any one else ttc #1? 😀

Hey all.

Well bfn this morning.
I am well and truly fed up with ttc now.
Hope your all ok!

@AZ1992X :( I hope your ok ❤️
maybe try the easy@home like @Loops01 says? Think im going to give them a go on cycle 9.

@Kipkay35 loads of people say that hopefully it's not much longer before we get our bfp's

@Aims1991 sorry to hear af has showed up :/

Hey @rosiej95 sorry to hear that, hope you’re doing ok!

I’m not too bad but expecting AF will arrive and can then start a fresh next cycle. I’ve ordered some of those and going to start using them for the next cycle 😊 x

Just to show mine. I started at cd10 as instructed but knew I was due to ovulate about cd17 or 18 but wanted to see how it worked. I had 6 days of pretty much low which initially made me think that my cycle was rubbish or the tests were then with the testing at different times you could see the increase and peak really easily. Hope you get more accurate results this next month @AZ1992X. The wee chart graph thing they have too is useful and tells you dpos and not just cds like other apps

Thanks @Loops01 😊, hopefully this will help next month.

Is the app called Premom? X.

Yes it is! It is also a bit reassuring as it will tell you if your cycle is regular etc and tells you your luteal phase. It's maybe a bit much for some but quite good considering I didnt pay for the premium version

Thanks @Loops01 ... I’ve downloaded it so will start using when AF arrives x.

Af arrived for me today too 😞
4 days early
Cycle 9 for me now...
As the months are going on I'm finding it more & more difficult now. 😔

Im going to order the easy@home tests & also some conceive plus lube for this cycle give those a go & hope for the best. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey all, I hope you’re all okay. I used conceive plus and would really recommend it. It’s not cheap but I used with all 3 pregnancies. I just wanted to say I conceived on cycle 12 with my first and went through all those emotions of it getting harder with every month. Got my fingers crossed for you x

I used conceive plus for 3 months and then used preseed. Found preseed stayed up there and didn't dry out as quick but hopefully you find it useful. Seems to be a wee theme here with AF arriving early this month!

So AF showed up 6 days early!! And I'm on day 3 and it's as if it's about to end🤔 very strange month so far.... seems a few people are having AF show up early this month 🙄

How weird! My last cycle was really light and quick. I'm normally only 4 days with the first or second day heavy then light thereon. Day 3 for me was liners only. I put it down to eating healthier? As had no real AF symptoms. Could it be that? I'm due in 3 or 4 days. Been feeling pretty emotional due to work stresses and that I think my sister in law is pregnant (but hadn't said due to recent passing of family member). I just want to give up on everything really. I think they were going to try this year so if she is pregnant it was pretty quick. No other AF symptoms yet but sure it'll come on time if not a bit early like others!!

Hi everyone, hope everyone’s doing ok! Sorry for the TMI, AF due in around 4/5 days and last few days noticed quite a bit of CM not sure if that’s normal or not as I’ve not had it with my previous ones 🤔

@Aims1991 mines a lot lighter this time too! It's annoying tho cause I feel af is going to drag even longer now as I haven't had a proper "flow"

@Loops01 ahh that's a real shit situation :(
Hopefully your af stays away 🤞🏻

@AZ1992X ive heard about getting increased cm with a bfp you'll have to keep us updated :D

Thanks @rosiej95 I did slyly ask and she said she wasn't but I am not convinced. I think we will find out very soon. Shes definitely having no alcohol, keeping her stomach area covered or wearing baggy clothes and is now taking a 'vitamin tablet' every morning. She's been a bit more fussy with what she is eating. I understand her for not saying if she is still early but my senses are saying it is that.
AF due between tomorrow and the next 3 days. Still no real symptoms of anything. If anything after ovulation only had the odd twinge every now and again.

@AZ1992X I have also read about cm increasing. The last 2 months I had some cm some time before AF that was slightly creamy in colour but not lots. Enough to see but it wouldn't have really been every day. I just put it down to my activities that day. Eg sitting more. Fingers crossed though!!

I hope AF isn't dragging on too long for you two. She's such a bitch if she is!

@rosiej95 I had a day and a bit of it being really heavy. Now it's really light. Hopefully in next day or so🤞🏼

@Loops01 ah I see, does she know your trying? ☺️

Well I'm still really light still but my belly is making me think that'll change in the next few hours 😂
Blooming killing tonight.
So I've sat down with a cup of tea and chocolate biscuits.

When I was younger whenever I got period pains I was always told to eat chocolate it'll make it feel better, & as I've got older it's something I still do haha is it actually a thing? 😂

I've also been on a bit of an online shopping spree cause that in general makes me feel better too 😂
Got a delivery coming from love honey
Brought the easy at home sticks
Got the conceive plus on the way...
I'm not prepared for cycle 9 to defeat me 😂😂

I gave in and tested and got bfn - cd29, I know I’ve still got few days until AF but had one early detection ones so think I’m out this month.

@AZ1992X I did the same thing. AF arrived just after testing too. Pretty upset that that's me again until end of May cos of this work trip next month. Plus now 2 girls in work have announced they are expecting. Its beginning. All girls but 1 at work are trying now or soon. Don't think I can really it up with it for much longer. Not sure how people really cope.

Sorry to hear that @Loops01 😔 , hope you’re ok - Make sure you treat yourself to some goodies.

I have an Easter egg still which I’m saving for when AF turns up. I’m off today so have just been for a walk to get some fresh air.

Haha that's impressive you have one left! Think I had mine eaten before Easter haha. I'm really confused with my apps though as although they all have my period dates the same one app is saying my cycle is 27 days, one is 28 days and the other is 31 days! Very odd! I feel like just giving up but I just can't do it. Such a horrible feeling all of this. Just feel like is this ever going to happen?

Haha it is for me as I love chocolate! 😂 quite proud I’ve not eaten it yet!

Mines exactly the same- one says Monday which would be same length as last month and other says I’m going to be like next Saturday ... very confusing but not surprising as I had a hard month of tracking so not sure when the peak was.

I’m hoping when I start the easy @ home ones next month it’ll be easier to track and get a more accurate result.

Agree Its very hard but it will all be worth it when we get our bfp - keep positive ❤️😊 x.

That's me had the confirmation from sister in law that she's pregnant. She's 10 weeks. She's had 4 scans because she had bleeding which was implantation bleeding. On one hand I'm happy for them but the other I'm like so you haven't been trying long and didn't even know what implantation bleeding was. Her scans were private. I knew this would happen and knew I would feel horrible but I don't really know how to get through it. I've had enough of trying to muster up hope. I'm so annoyed that the gp does nothing. Just at a loss. Thankfully my partner is away this week for work because I can't face him. I said congratulations on becoming an uncle and he said yeah but I want to be a dad and I felt like saying well leave me and go be one with someone else because its clearly my issue if his sperm are super but we still aren't pregnant. It's simple science but yet doesn't work. I'm struggling to be around anyone with kids because I just think why is it not working. Urg sorry it's really selfish but you're the only ones who really know what this is like going through it. Just need to vent.

@Loops01 ahh man, I'm sorry to hear your having a rough time of it.
it's a really weird feeling being happy for someone but being sad for yourself :/

Do any of your other relatives know your trying? Just be prepared when she announces it you may get some unhelpful comments of "you'll be next" off them if they don't know... :/

Is it something you could speak to the gp about again? See if they can do anything being on cycle 9? :(

Yeah I emailed the gp last night because I've just had enough really. Will see what they say but doubt they will do anything.

I have come off everything social media wise as I expect that. His family haven't asked but I spoke about wanting to try 2 years ago and they said 'don't worry about it now as it'll happen quick...' blah blah blah. So they should know and I will literally not take it. I don't plan on speaking to them. His sister always seems to get everything before me. Engagement, house, wedding, house renovations, car. Everything I say I do she one ups it. I know its not in a nasty way and shouldn't really compare to others but I just can't here. She's the favourite of the children too so I just wanted this one thing to be special for everyone but oh well she can have that again. I'm just done. I'll keep trying because that's what I want but I'm done with the hope or enthusiasm. Sorry. It's horrible and not knowing what is wrong or why it's taking so long is soul crushing. I don't know how you do it. In the nicest way possible I don't know how you stay positive or hopeful.

@Loops01 I’m sorry! Hope you’re keeping ok. It really doesn’t make it any easier when you keep hearing of pregnancies especially when it’s so close to home, feel for you - it must be hard.

We’re all here for you! ❤️
