TTC with a donor

[Waiting2BAMummy]

So it appears I posted the 1,000 message on our previous thread and now it's closed so I've opened us a new home!

The IC was negative this morning @PinkFamily but that said it came with some OPK’s and I never managed to get a decent line on those either so don’t know how good they are. Might test with my FRER on Friday.

So just went to the toilet and had pink CM so it’s either implantation or AF is arriving 2/3 days early 😟

@Waiting2BAMummy Hopefully it's IB....I know that some tests are less sensitive than others too. I've heard the Clearblue early detection are good?

I’d like to believe that @Pinkfamily but I really think AF is arriving.

I’ve read pink dye tests are better first response early response are supposed to be the best. That said @TimeIhadaNameChange got her positive on a clearblue.

Aww no @Waiting2BAMummy TTC is so disappointing and frustrating.

You can say that again @LanieM87! I was so fed up I went to Morrisons after work intending to buy a whole lot of comfort food to make me feel better but it won’t. I’ll just feel guilty for eating it so I bought some milk for my porridge tomorrow morning.

I’ve really watched my diet this past few weeks eating wholemeal rice, bananas, eggs, strawberries, raspberries, chia seeds, sunflower seeds as they’re all supposed to boost fertility but nothing! Eating crap is just going to set me back though so I left it in the shop!! 💪💪

I don’t understand why my LP has been shorter this month unless maybe I didn’t even ovulate??

Feeling so for myself tonight but tomorrow I need to take a dose of man up!

Good for you @Waiting2BAMummy I think you're a better woman then I am! Not sure I'd have been able to resist!

Hmm a short LP is always a bit worrying. Mine aren't very long at really. I think I read that under 10days is a worry but anything over that is classed at normal. Doesn't seem right though as I also read that you can implant at 9dpo any beyond which wouldn't really give me a chance. ARGGHH!

Mine isn’t short necessarily @LanieM87, today was 11/12 dpo. I thought, though, that a woman’s LP was always the same length but that your FP can change hence varying cycle lengths.

@Waiting2BAMummy My LP seems to vary about a day or two, I mostly manage to make it to around 11dpo.

I think my apps have been confused because of my cycle changes. I reckon I'm due AF by the weekend as then I'll be 27 days. But both my apps reckon it will be Monday/Tuesday. My temps put ovulation 2 days after my static smiley though this month which means that if AF does come this weekend I'll only be 9-10dpo.
If my LP doesn't change and AF arrives next week then I've had a 30 day cycle, which is gunna mess up my dates yet again!

TTC officially sucks, @LanieM87 It surely has to be out turn for a BFP soon.

I couldn't wait any longer so took an early test....it's was a BFN
I'm not sure why I took it as I know I'm getting period pains.... really lowered my mood 😞

Aw sorry to hear that @Pinkfamily still your not out completely til AF arrives.

Sorry to hear that @Pinkfamily I feel your disappointment x

Sorry @Pinkfamily it's hard have you been trying long?

How's it going @Waiting2BAMummy xx
Yeah it's true @LanieM87 I've got to try and keep spirits up!!
@GreatestShowUnicorn this was my first try

I’m out @Pinkfamily had some retail therapy with my best friend today so feeling a little better although I think every mother in the vicinity decided today was the day to bring out their pregnant bump/baby!!

Have been so tempted to just eat crap but I’ve stayed strong.

How are you feeling? Many women post that they had AF cramps before their positive so although I don’t want to give you false hope having them doesn’t definitely mean you’re out.

@Waiting2BAMummy you've been trying a while haven't you? Have you had any tests? You can get a scan and bloods done reasonably cheaply at private scan places.

@Waiting2BAMummy I'm so sorry to hear that. You are so strong for not giving into temptation and eating crap! One of my best friends called yesterday to tell me she is pregnant and I am happy for her, but she wasn't even trying and was still on the pill she just forgot one day!!! Typical!!!
I tried the other early test today and still BFN 😐

Starting trying in November of last year @GreatestShowUnicorn but have only actually tried for 9 of those 12 months and a couple of months I know my timing was completely out.

I am also 38 so it’s not a surprise that it’s taking so long really, though that doesn’t really ease the disappointment every month.

Thanks @Pinkfamily, I just feel like I can’t complain it’s not happening if I’m not doing everything I can to make it happen.

Sorry to hear about your BFN, I got fed up of seeing those so I stopped testing. Its somehow easier for AF to arrive than it is to see that stark white test every month, though I did cave this month!

This journey is certainly a rollercoaster of emotions and the TWW is the worst.

Yes it's true @Waiting2BAMummy Im just going to wait now until AF as you say, seeing the test is actually worse!!

I'm out 😒
How are your plans coming along for next month @LanieM87
@Waiting2BAMummy are you trying again next month?

Aw sorry to hear that @Pinkfamily - will you try again next month?

Yeah AF arrived on time, so i just need to update my paperwork and get it sent off to SellmerDiers and keep everything crossed!

@LanieM87 yeah I'll try again next month.
Great that your AF arrived on time, I'll have everything crossed for you 🤞🏽

Sorry to hear that @Pinkfamily.

I am trying again this month, donor is visiting on Sunday (CD 12) and we’ll go from there.

Good luck this month @Pinkfamily and @LanieM87, we’re all around the same time so fingers we all get our BFP’s together too! #BestEarlyChristmasPresentEver
