[Alexis2017]

Well am only on cd3 and my af looks like it's going away already. I don't like these weird short visits from auntie Flo it worries me !

Hey alexis. I have been still following u from afar. Like a creep haha Sorry to hear you're out this month

Thanks, hasnt flown in for me. Every month feels so long when you have been ttc for almost 1.5 years. Torture. You are so lucky you didn't need to try for very long. Hope your keeping well. II think of you often and wish I was in the pregnancy threads with you but it will lways just be a dteam of mine to get pregnant. I will still be here trying when you will have a beautiful baby in your arms...I will still be here when you are thinking of baby 2 ! ...am just stuck here trying.....eternity

Aww Alexis this breaks my heart reading this. Please don't give up hope you will be rewarded for your efforts in the end. I can't say when I just know that somehow it will happen for you. Because persistence is always rewarded in the end. Xx

Thanks Nikkki. I've never quit anything and have always worked hard to achieve my goals but this is different...no matter what you throw at it still same outcome. It will eventually break me. I am well known by my friends for saying what I am going to do... then I make it happen. I am one determined women but this is different

Just remember that whatever happens you can always be a mother. There are plenty of children out there who would love a mother like you. Even if you can't have a baby of your own....you can still have a child.

Hang in there Alexis. Docs haven't said that it can't happen. Even if they can't tell you why it isn't happening xx

I know but it it isn't an easy route either and going through infertility treatment for the 3 rounds I am due on nhs and it not happening we would prob save up and try a 4th round abroad then if that didn't work I dunno of I could go through the adoption process. Will see how I feel in a few years I guess x

They don’t do ivf on the nhs in my area, I’m fast realising that something isn’t right and not sure what to do! Try to keep your chin up Alexis, I’m sure it will happen for you, probably in a way you aren’t even expecting! X

That's just so unfair...where do you live ? Have you been for any testing? I am just going to start getting my mind to accept it now that I have a long way to go. It e amazing if our 1st cycle worked but eve if it did that would be around August 2019 so it's along way away on best case scenario !

We are in Peterborough they stopped it last year, I’m waiting for my 12 months to get my doctor to take me seriously but all 3 of my sisters needed ivf, my periods are irregular and I have been spotting from 5dpo through to af so I suspect progesterone or another lining issue.

Ouch! August 2019 is a long time to wait however at least you’re on your journey and hopefully you’ll get answers soon and then your reward!

 

[SugaryIris]

I officially hate April! Af still hasn’t showed, the first bit of spotting I had was 2 weeks ago today, it was only a drop then nothing for a week, at first I though ib? When it became obvious that I ovulated later than I expected I thought, ovulation? As that was now two weeks ago and no af I can only assume I haven’t ovulated at all ... as I’ve never had spotting last longer than my luteal phase?!? Part of me wants to poas as it’s so weird but this amount of spotting I think it is clear I’m not pregnant! Ughhhh

I'm so sorry, and I am sorry if me popping up has made you feel worse in any way. I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you still xx

I remember the waiting well unfortunately although as you said it wasn't for as long as you have been waiting and I can't imagine how you are feeling but you are waaay stronger than I am. I really wish you could be in the pregnancy threads too and I can't wait for the day when you can come across so I can stalk you there too and see you get your dream. I am so sure it will still happen, it's just taking longer than any of us would have liked for you as well as all of the other ltttc ladies on here.

I know you hear it month in month out but I really admire how you keep going with this, and that you are managing to stay positive and never give up. These are the qualities that show that you will be a terrific mother when the time is right. I don't know if you remember but the month I got my BFP I was distraught cuz I had had a crazy cycle the month before and then that month AF was over a week late and still showing BFNs so I was thinking oh dear god I'm now going to have irregularity to deal with on top of all the others stresses/hormonal/driving myself crazy things to deal with. It was the last thing I had expected and then it happened. For some reason life seems to want us all at rock bottom before it gives us even a sliver of joy! big hugs xxx

Thanks Laura, no not at all. I am so happy for you trust me. I am not strong trust me..I just have no ither option but to keep on trying. Part of me thinks maybe if its not happening its because itt' s not meant to be or maybe it's punishment or bad luck I dunno
I just have this thing going around my head saying I have high day 21 progesterone levels, my hsg was clear, my womb linning was normal on scan, I am having regular cycles ( apart from cycle 15) I have positive opk tests with ewcm and DH sperm is excellent so why the hell isn't it happening. What can we be doing so wrong ! I just don't get it.

 

[MayBMore]

hello I tested this morning and got a bfn af is due on Monday (I think) so I still have some tests left if need be next week

Oh that’s a shame! Hopefully she stays away and you get a bfp! Was it a frer?

Thank you it was an early test from the co op - I've still got some left for this week - no sign of af or spotting or anything yet so fingers crossed! I am starting to feel that I might've just ov's later than usual though

 

[SamJo]

Hi all,

I came off the mini pill on 28th March TTC #2. Very excited, although it did take 5 months to fall with DS.

I had a positive OPK on 10th April so fingers crossed. Will be waiting until 28th to test.

All the best to those waiting to test this month and next x

[SugaryIris]

After a week of spotting it has stopped but no af yet, driving me bonkers!

 

[SamJo]

I think I'm out this month, looks like AF has arrived!

Ok, I'm confused and I think my body is too. It seems to have stopped!

[TattooedMummy]

My period was supposed to arrive Monday, it's now Wednesday (CD30) and AF hasn't shown up yet.

I took a test this evening (I'm pretty sure once you miss your period you can take them at any time of the day, not just FMU) anyway BFN, I'm pretty sure I'm out

If you got a positive opk on the 10th now would very very early for af, maybe ib? Or maybe just spotting!

That's what I was hoping about IB but it's started up again and really quite heavy today. Now I'm worried about a really short luteal phase.

Hey ho, I suppose I know a bit more about my cycle now and maybe it'll sort itself out for next month. Who knows.... fingers crossed for everyone x

AF arrived for me
Now onto cycle #5. I might take a break off forums for now. Need to focus on something else, otherwise I will go insane!

Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting to test x

 

[Sydney]

I've been wanting to get on and have my date added for April testing! Currently on honeymoon and not had internet! Also experienced a lot of time zone changes including going back 20hrs! But, I think, I'll still test on day 27 which will be 24/4 please
CD22 today and experiencing some cramping since last night, bit early for menstrual cramps for me and cycle is pretty regular so keeping fingers crossed x
