Hi ladies, a new thread for us to continue the amazing support into the new year.
Praying this thread will hold the key to many positives🩷
I’m currently on CD4 today and looking forward to a fresh cycle. We have now hit the one year mark TTC no. 3 so hoping for a miracle soon xxx

@Emiily887 I'm sorry to hear about your BFN, really hoped that this cycle would be the one! We're all here to hear and support you 💕

I'm doing OK, thank you!

Status report: finished with Norethisterone which made me veeery emotional and made me gain over 6lbs in the 10 days I was taking it 🤣 Now waiting to bleed (must come on before Wednesday, nerve wracking!)
And then will be taking IVF stims from Wednesday.

If all goes well I might actually join all of you for a TWW after a transfer in February 🤞

@Summerrose24 I see it, and if I were you I’d be getting excited 🙌

Thanks @pameladoov, hope you're feeling well and doing ok!

LucyLou0527 · 27/01/2025 09:53

I’m 3DPO today, is anyone else in the TWW?

I don’t know why but I’m feeling quite positive about this month, I think not doing OPKS did me the world of good and I can’t believe I’m always three days in, it seems to go a lot quicker!

AudreyJL · 27/01/2025 10:07

Hi, does this look like a positive or an indent? I’ll test with a digital tomorrow as I dumped out my pee as assumed BFN 😂

5 months 😊 thank you! I’m still in disbelief. Still on edge that AF will show its ugly face

LucyLou0527 · 27/01/2025 10:36

This will be my 5th proper month of trying too! Ooo I hope it’s lucky😅

are you going to keep testing?

LucyLou0527 · 27/01/2025 10:36

I’ll test tomorrow with my clear blue monitor and pregnancy test sticks for a digital reading. If that reads positive as well, I’ll stop testing 😊 to be honest, compared to previous cycles, we only dtd twice on my second peak day and the day after 😂I’m still cramping a little though

Got my fingers crossed for you! How many dpo are you?

LucyLou0527 · 27/01/2025 13:44

Yeah good idea, there's no point carrying on testing after you've got your definite answer as it will just cause more stress!

We DTD CD16 and CD17, apparently O was CD18 but we missed it :( then DTD CD19 and CD20 so i hope we covered it.

I'm 3DPO now.

I O’d CD15 and dtd CD16 & CD17. So if this is a true positive then there’s definitely hope!

Hi everyone, I’m 10dpo, tested this morning and can see faint lines (did 2 easy at home and then did another brand because I was convinced they must be wrong!), do these look like they could be the start of something?
I’m on month 5 ttc after a MMC, and I’m terrified to get my hopes up, but I can’t stop thinking about it!!

sorry accidental post

HopeB · 27/01/2025 21:45

Tentative congratulations to you both @MoonDaydream & @AudreyJL I’ve got everything crossed for you ✨✨ 🤞🤞

And good luck to everyone in the TWW! Massive good luck everyone 😊

Thank you @Summerrose24 that’s so sweet of you. I love this thread too ☺️
how are you doing?

and I’m in it with everyone who is starting another cycle 😩 xx

LucyLou0527 · 28/01/2025 10:22

I'm 4DPO today and my boobs are absolutely killing (the same feeling as just before AF) Im due on 8th Feb so surely it's not that?

Has anyone else experienced this just after Ovulation?

Emiily887 · 28/01/2025 21:08

Hi ladies. Hope everyone is doing ok🩷
AF has arrived for me. We’ve taken the decision to stop trying for a few months as it’s getting too much for me having hit the year mark. I’m constantly stressed and upset every cycle.
Will still be lurking on this thread as it has seemed so positive for a lot of you and I love seeing successes. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive and I hope those who got their positives have happy and healthy pregnancies, and anyone who’s still waiting I really hope you get your miracle babies soon🩷🩷

I’m so sorry you’re feeling stressed and upset each cycle. I hope a few months of relaxing can help you. I honestly gave up at the beginning of December. One of my colleagues husband had a spinal stroke and is paralysed from the waist down and I said to DH. I really want a baby but not as much as I want us both to stay healthy and be able to enjoy life together.
then 4 weeks later I get my BFP.
Fingers crossed for you

LuxyLocket · 29/01/2025 08:02

@Emiily887 I will also lurk on this thread not to post but to keep in touch with you as I’ve been very invested in your journey and would like to hear how you’re getting on,💕💕 I completely get the needing a break for a few months I’m just so sorry it’s been a year and hitting that milestone is flipping tough. I really admire you for choosing ‘life’ for a bit rather than carrying on with this every month that is putting you and your wellbeing first. You’ve been such a support to me and all of us. Thank you for the best threads and let’s keep in touch xx 😘 sending loads of love

dev86 · 30/01/2025 04:56

@Emiily887 I second what @LuxyLocket says. Thinking of you, please take all the time you need. I’m so thankful for this thread it’s been a lifeline 🩷

Thanks @dev86 that book looks so nice, I think I need to get a copy. Thanks for your lovely messages everyone, I find it so hard to remember and tag all the usernames properly - I'm on my phone maybe it's easier on a laptop. Im so sorry i always forget to tag someone who has sent a lovely message but I see all your kind messages and they mean so much.
A PhD in music therapy sounds so cool @dev86 ! My 2nd child has special needs and loves music, if you ever need volunteers for a case study just let me know 😊
@luxylocket I'm so happy things are progressing and you're starting to accept and enjoy it. I'm hoping I'll be there in a week or so. I told my husband as soon as he got home last night and he's delighted but also cautious like me.
@hopeb I'm sorry to hear your test was negative, it's such heartache and I'm glad both you and your partner could grieve a little today and also have a nice trip coming up which might be a distraction. We are all here to chat with you even when all at different stages. This thread is so nice.

It is a really good book, thank you so much! Definitely recommend. Aww thank you - that’s exactly my line of work! So glad they are a little musical soul 💜🎶🎵
