CD1 anyone want to join me?

Today I am CD1 with full AF. Started spotting last night after numerous BFN, still managed to convince myself it was our cycle and maybe it was implantation bleed last night Confused some support together through the next cycle would be great after a horrid year!

I’m CD3 but happy to join. Just booked my HSG today for next Tuesday. Hoping that will give us answers or help get a BFP.
How long have you been TTC?

Super yes, glad to have you on this cycles journey! I have PCOS so have struggled with TTC since 2019. To our amazement we conceived in 2020 and our baby boy was born later that year. Since then we have struggled again and I had a MMC in July at 13 weeks ending in a D&C after having RPOC 😭 and been trying since. How about you? Xx

We are TTC #1, this is month 16 yet only had AF visit 7 times, the last 2 cycles have been the most regular at 31 and 39 days.
Im so relieved to hear you have had a successful conception with PCOS, but sorry to hear your MMC and ending up with a D&C.

are you tracking anything at the moment? I’m using clear blue OPKs right now as find them easiest to read the cheapies just confuse me.

Sorry to hear you've been having such a hard time also, it can feel like forever between cycles can't it, though that's really positive about your last two being much more reasonable in length, fingers crossed for your upcoming cycle 🤞have you been doing anything differently for that to happen or it's just been a fluke? Mine seem to be better managed with myo-inositol supplements and when I'm managing my diet (which isn't very often after the MMC 😩) I've been tracking with easy@home OPKs but I'm not sure if they don't work for me or if I'm just not ovulating despite getting an LH surge or perhaps something else is going on. With DS we ended up after so long of trying DTD every other day for whole cycle instead of relying on OPKs and it worked but possibly a fluke. Earlier this year I wasn't tracking and it happened but of course ended in MMC as sadly baby had anencephaly which is a NTD and so he didn't make it. Have you found clear blue OPKs much better? I'm tempted to try, despite the increased cost, willing to try anything at this stage! My cycles have been a mess since MMC and I'm now not sure what's going on, this AF is so heavy and bad cramping. Last AF lasted less than a day and was so light 🤷🏼‍♀️ sending you lots of luck for your cycle xx

Can I join? Yesterday was also cd1 for me. AF hit a couple hours after I took a test at 9dpo. Very bfn though. Here's to January!

Ncl31 · 30/12/2022 06:16

I’ve been taking myova, so maybe that has helped but I can’t be certain and wouldn’t like to build anyone’s hopes up that it’s that, it could well just be coincidence.
i had my internal scan at my fertility appointment on the day I had some spotting, they told me to class that as CD1 as my uterus was empty and endometrium was thin, she predicted ovulation to be 3rd December and the clear blue have me flashing smileys fon 2/3rd and then a static on 4th so I’d pretty much say they’re accurate. They’re so easy to use too. I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford the extra increase in price but appreciate that some people can’t.

Yes most definitely, sorry to hear of your BFN as well. It's so hard seeing negative tests isn't it. I always seem to come on as I'm testing Confused Sending all the luck for January! Xx

Sorry I don't know how to reply without doing the quote thing Smile ohh that's what I've been taking too as I took that to conceive DS and I felt it helped massively. Fingers crossed for us all this upcoming cycle 🤞 are you having any more tests under fertility clinic? We're waiting for hubby's up to date sperm check to be done in a few weeks and I'm also waiting to hear back from my two blood tests and US last cycle but next appointment isn't until feb, think I may phone. Are you taking any other vitamins or doing anything else diet wise to try to help? Xx

@mypcosmamalifeuk
on Tuesday my OH is having his sperm analysis and I’m also coincidentally having an HSG.
taking vitamin b complex and vitamin C too.
that’s good to hear you conceived your DS using MyoVa.
fingers crossed this is a good sign for us both and this cycle is successful.

Hope all went ok with sperm analysis yesterday. My hub has his on Monday this coming week. I had my tests last cycle but still waiting for results, they won't see us until next available appt after hubs results are back which apparently is in Feb which feels like forever away.

How is everyone getting on this cycle so far? I'm on CD8 today and hoping to try SMEP this cycle so starting that today and due ti start OPK's on Friday at CD10 xx

How is everyone doing? It's looking like I've got my peak on OPK today which is a miracle as my cycles are usually much longer. Hoping ovulation happens in next day or so 🤞
