Hoping For a BFP in April

[FreckledMouse]

Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

@kizzy97 so sorry af turned up. It is so so hard not to feel deflated. Ttc is full heavy and full of ups and downs. Groups like as good because people get it. Hope you feel better and sending baby dust!!!

Hey ladies, Here TTC baby #2 Cycle #1(hopefully)

Finished my contraceptive last week and my breakthrough bleed has been and gone so just a case of waiting to see if/when I ovulate this month but the fact I'm not taking any contraception and that we are officially TTC is an exciting feeling! #feelinghappy

Good luck @Decaffe ✨

@Graceybaby glad you are in a good place & good luck with your new cycle! 🤞🏼💚

I’m on CD 15 now & think I’m going to ov in the next couple of days, so quite a few days earlier then last cycle. The joys of having irregular periods!

@Purple29 thank you ❤ how have you been getting on?

Hi @Graceybaby thanks for the welcome, nice to share this crazy journey!xx
@Purple29 I always find it reassuring when there’s someone if similar or same age to me going through the same xx
@Cecelia90 hi there, I use the cb digital tests and it won’t let you test with in 48 hours, the static face will stay on your test that long… I recommend buying another pack so you can use a new test stick the next day, that’s what I tend to do! Hope that’s helps xx

@Rhianne18 not really, I was 18 at the time and I must admit with shame I didn't take much of it in at the time - the issues they mentioned were things I had no idea about! I had a couple of ops after that for scar tissue and nothing was mentioned, I need to book in for a GP appointment I think to see if they think it's worth looking into.
Had 2 very faint lines on Clearblue tests today (12DPO) - the first one showed after 7-8 mins and the 2nd one just now showed within 2 mins - but they're not as thick as the control line so I'm assuming they're evaps?! I have no experience with this so unsure..
@Cecelia90 I also recommend what @Willow1982 said, get another pack and use the reader in that whilst the first is blocked :)

@alwaysseeingstars that sounds like a good idea, least then the doctor can advise you! I had a few pre-conception appointments as I needed to come off medication, it was helpful to just have a chat with them too!

Oh exciting, I hope it’s positive too, have you got any FRER tests? Maybe try one of those?

@Graceybaby hope this month is your month!

With regards to getting tests done, we’ve decided to go straight to the clinic, due to my DH age we want to get him checked in depth! I have my appointment next week and my DH has his the week after and we have a consultation appointment on 7th. Wish us luck 🤞🏼 I’m so nervous but will feel better knowing rather than wondering!

Been doing ok, still not quite over everything but getting there. CD 19 now so in the horrible tww.

Can anyone see the squinter? 😫

Feeling so deflated today ladies, hoping I'm not alone!

I honestly want to be pregnant with my 3rd and not hopeful of it happening 😕

@Hopefulprincess I can see a shadow! 🤞

@allthingssparkly you're not alone! I'm really really down about everything today and not feeling hopeful at all this month. It's so hard and I'm only on cycle 2!!

@Hopefulprincess I can see it!

Thanks @Nyxxie it can be hard can't it, I'm cycle two as well.

It's been on my mind so long now about wanting another, that I'm starting to feel deflated about it not happening.

@alwaysseeingstars try a frer any line counts it doesn’t have to be solid :)
Good luck
@Rhianne18 good luck I hope the appointments helpful 🤞

@allthingssparkly horrible ttc then you seem to see babies everywhere! Keep faith it is worth the wait when you get there 💜 never thought I’d get my last son after losing 4 at various stages consecutively and the month after cremating my baby girl he came and was perfect . It’s really hard on the soul ttc always take time for you and if you need to cry let it out. Hugs xx

@allthingssparkly I keep telling myself that 2 months really isn't that long but time does seem to stand still when TTC and it feels like I've been trying forever! When I think it could take a year or more it just seems so scary.

Trying to stay positive and hope you somehow manage to as well. It's great that you've had 2 already so you know there should be no problem I guess? I just need to find some patience.. 5DPO today and dying to know one way or the other

@Nyxxie @TeddyBeans il retest tomorrow this will be it now he’s early 40s says he’s done so hoping for the last one 🤞 and that it’s sticky 🤞

@Hopefulprincess So so sorry about your losses, I can't begin to imagine how heartbreaking it is 😓

You are so right though, I keep seeing so many pregnancy announcements and wishing that one of them was mine 🥺

I cried and cried last night when I was talking to my OH about it, I feel men don't see it the same as women though.

@allthingssparkly I feel the same 😢

@ladybuggoldfinch so sorry your feeling the same way too, it's so rubbish.

Trying to remain positive about it as a whole is hard, I've tried not to obsess too much this cycle but at the same time it's not easy when it's something I really want to happen. 😓

I haven't really payed great attention to my cycle before ttc and now I'm getting a little concerned. So this month I spotted dark brown blood on Monday evening, bled normally on Tuesday, lightly on Wednesday and then today a very small amount of dark brown blood but that's it. So really my period lasted only two days? Is this a worry 🤔

Feeling the deflation of mid TWW right now!! AF due on 1st, iv got a whole week to go!! No idea how many DPO I am today as I didn’t use OPKs for the first month in a year as trying to lessen the pressure!
Anyone else get disheartened when your so aware of symptoms and you just don’t feel a thing!!!☹️xx

@Leanne053 I didn’t pay any attention to my cycles before TTC, I always assumed I had a 28 day cycle turns out it’s usually 31 days!!
I’d give it another couple of months monitoring (unless of course you get your BFP) and you may notice a pattern in your cycles, although what you describe could of course be implantation bleed?? And of course if you feel very worried by it speak to a doctor, but I’d monitor for a few months more xx

I had a Google and it certainly doesn't seem like implantation. Yeah I'll keep recording and see if there's any patterns. Thank you for your reply :)

I hope everyone is ok today. I know it’s deflating when you get those bfn each month.

We have been ttc dc no.2 since last May, once af came back (after having our dd)
I fell pregnant on cycle 5 (with irregular periods and a couple months no ovulation) but sadly had a mmc at 12 wks in Jan)

It sometimes feels like a long time to be ttc but I remind myself it is actually a ‘normal’ timeframe & will happen✨✨
Positive thinking.

I’m 36 & still bf dd who is 2.5, a couple times a day, so have to add into the mix! 🥴

Good luck everyone and
