TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

[RMS0209]

Hi Ladies!
2nd thread for this chatty lot...
Cycle 4 (May) TTC baby #1
The chat of no TMI or silly questions

@Sassy144 yep me too, just want to get it over with now so I can focus on next cycle! Wine is needed 😂

@Kitty901 sorry to hear that nothing has worked for you so far, hopefully the doctors will have some suggestions for you. I'd definitely be interested to hear what they say.

I have only tried b6, and only for one month, and no change yet. It is really discouraging especially when you read that implantation can take up to 12 days 😔

@Nyxxie it is specially when i had a 14 lp before the birth of ds1. It took us 6 months and we are on cycle 6 now with no luck hence why i have given up hopes and think i need help someone to explain me what is going on. Looking back at my app, my cycles have been like that for the past 2 years but i only figured it when we started trying for second. Anyways, i will let you know what they say. X

BFN today. Devastated. We were very hopeful this month but it hasn't worked out.

Wishing everyone the very best of luck and fingers crossed for all of you.

@Kitty901 yes please let us know! I have eagerly been refreshing my emails hoping my blood test results would be back but they are not 😫. With the bank holiday weekend i will have to wait until Tuesday now.
It’s gonna be a long weekend as i battle through this heavy AF reading up on every single thread that has the words fed up with ttc or will it ever happen…have a good long weekend ladies x
Just a quick question do you ladies tell your DH/DPs when your peak days are? Has anyone told them and regretted it? I haven’t until now, I remember someone mentioning they get suspicious anyway 😂

@RosyappleA I told mine, first month he felt pressured and wouldn't play ball. Second month he was happy to oblige.

Also, I read only 25percent of perfectly timed egg/ sperm meetings will result in a pregnancy. So it is literally just luck and you need to keep rolling the dice. It will happen and when it does it will be worth the wait and it might not feel like it took that long at all!

Everyone getting BFNs I was negative at 10 and 11dpo! Just had evap lines HOURS later.

@RosyappleA it sucks i know! I have been through every article that contains short LP in it. Hope you don't wait too long for your results. I too can't wait to speak to them next week. I am hoping for some help and answers. Yes i tell hubby but he gets overly excited thinking he is on a hunt for the egg. I think that pressure to catch it affected him twice and couldn't actually do the job. He was very upset after 🤣 i am not sure if i am going to tell him again next time.

@pocketbunny i am so annoyed with myself with being so impatient. When i got pregnant with our first, i did not test until 13dpo, just a day before my AF was due and got a lovely line. I am such a mess this time round🤦🏻‍♀️ i feel like working from home gives me the opportunity to waste time on taking tests and getting annoyed they are negative. I did not have that luxury when i was in the office from early mornings till late evenings 🤣

@Kitty901 I hear you! So much temptation! I didn't think I could handle finding out before a full day of work (either way) so ended up psyching myself out and testing on my last day of isolation. When I saw it was positive I spent the rest of the day in some weird zombie, out of body state so good thing I wasn't at work!

Hi everyone, just had a quick read of the thread as have been off on hols - HUGE congrats to the BFPs, amazing to start to see some good news and a big hand hold for @Hjudge56 and those testing BFNs.

Not too much to report, I'm coming up to fertile week and typically DH has been so keen to DTD this week on holiday and I bet he'll be a nightmare to coax next week! Classic.

Got my fingers crossed for more BFPs, who else is coming up to testing?

@RosyappleA I do tend to tell him when it's baby making time otherwise he wouldn't do it so often 😂 the pressure has got to him once or twice but he seems to be used to it now.

@Kitty901 I feel the same, going to really try to wait a few more days to test again. I think I'd rather get af than see a negative on tests repeatedly first

Morning all,
Wondering if anyone could give me some advice? Sorry if TMI.

I think I ovulated on Mon/Tuesday.
Overnight at work I had some really mild cramps - like I wouldn’t notice them unless I was sat down which was swiftly followed by some pink discharge, kind of clear in parts but not red. Thought it was the beginning of AF and stuck a pad on, have awaited the almighty flow of red, however still remains the same and nothing on the pad over 12 hours.

Am I right in thinking that this could be implantation? Or I am just being overly hopeful?

Thanks in advance xxx

@Kitchiekobo I did get some implantation spotting last month but mine was about 11 days after ovulation. Some people implant much earlier than others though, I know I must be fairly late at implanting as I have never got a BFP before 12DPO. It’s strange as I got implantation spotting last cycle when I had a chemical pregnancy but didn’t this month so that’s why o was convinced it wasn’t my month but I guess our bodies are different every cycle. I also read it can just be hormones ramping up generally in preparation so it could be implantation hasn’t happened yet and is still to come. Fingers crossed for you xxx

@Lulux33 thank you for your advice. I have just awoken from my post night naps to AF in full force.

I guess I’m out this month and now to have the conversation with my other half about what we’re doing going forward. Eek.

baby dust to you all x

CD1 for me! I am so upset this time 😭, any 23 day cycle another 10 day lp! Nothing seems to work i had enough of this!

@Kitchiekobo sorry it was AF. I swear the amount of times i have convinced myself i have implantation and it ends up being AF, of course my period decided to come earlier and earlier to trick me since TTC and since the miscarriage😭
@Kitty901 youre my short LP twin, I hope we get answers this week. It’s hard enough knowing theres only a small chance but when you think that implantation wont even happen even if fertilisation does it is the biggest stress and disappointment 😔

@Kitty901 @Kitchiekobosending big hugs and an even bigger glass of wine!

I have some EWCM today 🥴 not expected, but I will take it! Annoyingly I forgot my ovulation sticks at work (I started testing during lunchtime). So I am assuming my body is trying to ovulate, and I am calling it all systems go! Will need to corner DH this weekend.

@QueenBee22 sorry about the BFN 😔

AF just starting to arrive now, think it’s coming in full force judging by the cramps!! 😢 So a 34 day cycle this time..

Sorry to hear that @alwaysseeingstars.

<Pouring more wine for @QueenBee22 and @alwaysseeingstars and passing a big plate of sushi>

Next month will be our month.

Thank you @Mc3209 ! hugs to you all it is not easy.

Thanks @Mc3209 and @QueenBee22 , it’s so tough emotionally isn’t it. Hope you’re feeling ok 💕

Evening you lot!

@Hjudge56 how are you feeling? thinking of you.

@PeanuttyButter 7DPO for us 💃🏼 hope you are good! Absolutely 0 symptoms or anything for me..

@Kitchiekobo fingers crossed for all the dancing you have done.

@Sassy144 sorry to hear about BFN but 9dpo is still early... try again 11/12DPO 🤞🏻
@Kitty901 @Tigertightss you two aswell - give it a day or two please 🙏🏻

@Nyxxie welcome back! Cycle 4 is your month! What is the plan for this month? Anything different/new?

@QueenBee22 how you doing too? Sorry BFN 😞

@RosyappleA I tell OH when I get a good looking OPK, I think i maybe shouldn't... maybe I won't say month (I say this but we will see)

NOOOOO @alwaysseeingstars sending you the biggest hug 🤗❤️ hope you are ok. X

I am around 8dpo (hard to know as my periods are not regular and I didnt use ovulation sticks) The ttw is literally the longest two weeks ever. I have had a lot of cramping and a little spotting (i mean very little) I might just be reading into the symptoms though. I tested and as expected a BFN! Will hold off for a few days

How is everyone else getting on?
Also anyone elses husband wonder why you want to DTD so much for one week a month and then hardly ever 😂

@Squishybean hahahaha my DH has tried his luck again tonight..a big fat nope 😅

@alwaysseeingstars @QueenBee22 sorry lit wasn't your month😢 I'm thinking this is not my month either. Sore boobs on 3dpo is not a good sign for me. I've been here many times before
