Lucky october?🤞🏼

[Emiily887]

Hi ladies, I’ve just started a new thread for us to continue the support🩷

@LucyLou0527 @Emiily887 the wait before is the WORST. That’s the horrible bit I swear as you’re so hopeful and longing for it to happen but just want to know either way. Hope you’re both ok, thinking of you 🩷💕💕

13 dpo for me! So annoying! Af due tomorrow or Sunday and no sign, lots of cm which is strange for me normally so dry (sorry for tmi) just want af to arrive now so I can move on if that makes sense! Or a bfp obviously

Hi all!
im DPO and I swear I saw a faint line this morning. I tested again this evening and saw this…. Am I seeing things or is there a faint line?? I swear this TTC is maddening! 🤞🏻

I see something @Amy341 ! How many DPO?

Ahh it’s not just me!
im 10DPO, possibly even 9. I have really short cycles though I think thats why I’ve struggled to conceive my period is due today/tomorrow. I’m keeping everything crossed! This was evening urine so will try again in the morning 🤞🏻

Morning!
so after my very very faint possible positive last night on a pink dye I’ve had this today… I’m so not sure what to think. I’ve had such a glaring false positive in the past (flooded) that I feel these are so faint for 10/11 dpo that they’re either indent lines or Evap! Both photos taken within window on instructions…

Morning gals. So after a ?positive or evap 11DPO, AF has just came on day 32. Had my peak exactly 14 days ago! Anyone else ever been so relieved for it to come? The dodgy test sent me slightly insane with testing & now I feel like I can breathe again! onto next month, and I WILL NOT be testing early 😂

I’d be very happy with this, you may have only implanted on 9DPO, congratulations 🥰

Im glad it’s finally came for you and you can finally feel some sort of relief. Fingers crossed for next month💞

Thankyou 🤍 keeping everything crossed this sticks! I did a digital this morning two hours after the clear blue and it said not pregnant but thinking about it I should be using FMU and especially not two hours after I’ve already peed 🤣 so I’ll try again tomorrow and hope for some progression. This feels surreal!

I caved and did a test today at 8DPO. Annoyed with myself as seeing the stark white space has made me feel like I won't be getting a line this month. I find myself comparing to TTC my son, which was the stuff of dreams - first month success and very clear line at 10DPO (first test i did so who knows if i would've had a line 8DPO🤷‍♀️). I know it's just not realistic to expect it to go the same, especially as I'm now 34! I reckon I'll be on to month 3 soon😮‍💨

Morning ladies🥰
After what I thought was a bfp I’m back to shadows. AF 2 days late today and BBT still raised. No idea what’s going on!!

I’m still in shadow land too! How many DPO are you now? Xx

14, 13 potentially. Only normally have a 12/13 day luteal phase so not too sure what to think. Unless I implanted later…. I do also have a low initial hcg level so maybe that has something to do with the slow rise. I have a feeling I’m out though😭

Af arrived for me today, bang on time!
Kind of happy she arrived as I can move on to next cycle!
Good luck to all still waiting for bfp

Had a private scan today as I decided that I could be bothered to wait for NHS to get themselves into gear. I was referred to check for fibroids but also I wanted to check for Polycystic ovaries as I have slightly raised AMH. The scan showed 10 follicles in one ovary and 26 in the other 😱 at first she thought I had a fibroid but by the end she wasn't sure and asked me whether I had a d&c when I had the termination. Because I hadn't she thinks I have a defect from the c section and recommend I spoke to my GP about an MRI to see if I Adenomyosis. I also have a titled uterus. The Adenomyosis could make implantation difficult however if I got that from my first pregnancy It didn't cause me an issue conceiving before.
The sonographer said the ovary with loads of follicles was borderline PCOS. Having a read into it that many follicles could cause a hormone inbalance. I already I know if have slightly high AMH levels which would be caused by that ovary but everything else has seemed ok before.
Highly recommend paying for a private scan. Although I would have got a NHS eventually I am not sure they would have gone into this detail and how long I would be waiting for to get the scan.

@Mummysparrow sorry to hear all of this showed on your scan, that must be really difficult to process, although it is probably a relief to have some insight and understanding about what is going on. It’s awful that the nhs is so horrifically behind with things like this and you’ve had to go private - I too have been in this position. I’m glad the private scan got you some answers and fingers crossed you manage to conceive soon xxx

Sorry to hear af arrived, but glad you feel able to move on from this cycle now!
I’m feeling fed up with this cycle. 14/15dpo, af 3 days late, more of a shadow line this morning on an easy @ home and a clear & simple strip but nothing to make me feel confident either way!! BBT is still elevated. No idea what’s going on. Feeling very much in the dark and just want to know either way now 😭

@Emiily887 frustrating isn't it! I've decided I'm not going to track ovulation this month, I know roughly when it is so just going to spontaneously dtd around that time more than other times if that makes sense, think the stress of it all is getting to me and oh so best this way and see what happens, what know exactly what day I ovulated either so won't be counting how many dpos etc and then try test due before or day af due!
I hope u get stronger lines ASAP, maybe speak to doc to see if can do blood works x

@Emiily887 can you get hold of a Boots early pregnancy test? They’re not quite as sensitive as FRER's but still easier to see BFPs on than strips...and hopefully those lines will start to get stronger in the next few days anyway.

Officially in the TWW. Stuck to SMEP since CD9 and ovulated CD24 poor boyfriend. Anyone in TWW. So I will be testing in November. Good luck to everyone x

12dpo and BFN for me guessing I’m out again😩 I can’t help but just keep over analysing everything and questioning why it doesn’t happen!

we literally tried so much this month, I took letrozole for 5 days and aspirin every single day, took cough medicine leading up to ovulation and used OPKs, he did a swim count and all was good and I just can’t help but bang my head against the wall and ask why it’s hasn’t worked

@Emiily887 The limbo is just so horrible and the worst bit 😔💕thinking of you
@JoMummyJessica im sorry AF came, I felt the same as you I was almost relieved then I can just get on with next cycle. I think that’s a good idea to do it slightly differently so as to not add extra pressure to yourself. Similar with me, I’m going to do the opk again as I did enjoy that it kind of spurred me on and I knew it had it bang on but with the early testing I’m torturing myself pointlessly so going to really try and wait til day or so before AF if I do that.
@LucyLou0527 im so sorry I know exactly how you’re feeling, questioning why it didn’t happen when you did everything you could it’s so so frustrating ttc is one of the hardest things ever. I don’t think anyone quite realises if they’re one of the luckily women who fall right away. I feel you lovely we’re all on this journey hard as it is we will all keep eachother going. Big hugs 🩷🩷

10 dpo and negative pregnancy test - feel like I’m out this cycle now 😢

It really is. I’ve broke down in tears today, I just want af to come now or to see a positive because this is just causing so much stress not knowing!! I just don’t understand why there have been so many shadows and then nothing😭
I really thought ttc no.3 would be easier but it’s just bringing back the same feelings I had ttc number 2. I can’t help but feel frustrated at my body because I know my endo affects it being as bad as it is and I know from scans and surgeries that my womb is almost a ticking time bomb. It’s just horrible because I feel like it adds so much pressure😔
Sorry to rant I’m just in a bad mood today😂
