Feeling disappointed

[Lauraliverpool]

Up until today hadn't had any of the usual signs AF was going to start which for me for a while has been back ache and then dull cramps, but just now have noticed a bit of pink when i went the toilet so i think af is going to start. Thought maybe just maybe it might be my month. Did track ovulation last month to give me an idea and got a peak on cycle day 11, haven't tracked this month but did have sex on cycle day 10 and 13 aswell as other days, is it worth starting to try when your period has stopped? I'm 41 got a little boy conceived naturally, 3 mmc ,two rounds of failed IVF, have pretty much accepted that it might not happen again but that wish is still there.

Do you mean is it worth having sex as soon as your period ends? If so then I think the SMEP suggests starting from the day your period ends, doing it every other day until you get a positive OPK and then doing it for 3 days in a row, have a day off and then do it again for good luck.

Last cycle we tried from the day my period finished, we did it every other day until maybe CD10 where we did it 6 days in a row and then went back to every other day.

It didn’t work as I’ve just had AF arrive bang on time today 😩 I get how you’re feeling, I really do. I’m starting to believe that this just won’t ever happen again for us (we also have a 3yo son) and it’s making me feel incredibly down 😔

@L0ts yep that's what I was thinking is it worth starting to try as soon as your period ends. I was tracking but then having to remember each morning was a right pain in the arse. For my own sake and sanity I've tried to accept that I probably won't happen again for us, conceiving has pretty much taken over my life for the past few years. I still cling onto that little bit of hope.

Sorry your feeling low, I get it. TTC is hard bloody work and draining. You really have to be careful it doesn't effect your relationship, as previous poster said you can be having sex 6 days in a row leading up to ovulation and still not conceive.. mother nature can be cruel sometimes! And doing that every month is going to take its toll.. even committing to having sex every other day for us felt like too much pressure, we just made sure we had sex around ovulation each month and that was it.. I got my BFP this month and we only had sex the day before ovulation. Last time before that was 7 days prior as other half was working away. Try to take some of stress away from it xxxx

@Graceybaby thank you ❤️ mother nature definitely can be cruel. I found tracking ovulation was getting to me so I stopped but last month thought I'd use up ovulation tests I had left over not much sex last month as we were both not well. Do you track ovulation? I'm wondering whether to do it this month or not. Congratulations on your bfp! Xxxx

I know how you feel. Lately, it’s all I think about and that’s crazy. I guess to that level that I already have dreamt several times I got bfp and still nothing.
Had late AF so many times, so that now when it’s late, I’m not surprised anymore. There’s always a bit of hope, but now it’s very tiny for me.

AF is 2 days late for me. Taken tests and no BFP. Doesn't stop me hoping. Had a mmc in December. 41 next week and also loosing hope. No DC yet.
