~*~*~* December Testing Thread *~*~*~

[MoominGirl]

Think Ive just been tipped over the edge again. Annnnother one of my frriends is pregnant. She literally got married 6 months ago. What the hell ....ahhhrrgh trying not to be jealous and hate my reproductive system.

I think you should take me out Dec testing thread. We have only dtd once and I ovulated cd#9. Will prob dtd tonight and over wknd but completely missed tbe window. Def out..trying once? I feel like I am giving up. Maybe I should have just said we need a break. I am just so exhausted with same routine and results for 1 year.

I am the kinda gal who works mega hard and does what I need to achieve it no matter what. I literally set a goal and I do it. I have tried so hard.....its breaking me. How do do you jeep going after the 1st year?

I know its hearing this pregnancy that bas got to me (again) but am so sad !

I know where you're coming from. A girl at work is pregnant, been married less than a year. I don't work closely with her so it hasn't bothered me too much. I overheard someone asking her about her plans for maternity leave and returning to work after. She said she'd definitely be back full time as being at home with a baby would be boring!! I just found a way of making a quick exit as I probably would have said something I'd regret later!!

Thanks everyone. It just feels hopeless when you try before you vet positive opks...during and after for a year...this is 1st month I just have given up . I don't think I can keep trying so much anymore as its just not making a difference. I no its very nornal for nost couples to just have regular sex and for it to happen from around 4-6 months or up to 12 but when you hit 12 months with no results surely it can only mean there is something wrong...I am sure hsg test will surely show something as If I am tesribg opks and covering whole fertile period why would it not work all this time?

I am sorry you are having a tough time. I've asked myself the same questions more times than I care to remember. I'm at the point now where I'm focusing on what our next steps are rather than what's wrong. I've found that good results actually don't make me feel any better as we're still not pregnant. Also, unless we fall naturally, IVF is going to be our only option as ovulation has never been an issue. Although I've felt very negative about our chances over the last year
(I was very optimistic the first 18 months or so), I've found that my outlook is more positive overall if I just focus on the plan. At the end of the day, I want our life back. I can't continue to be consumed by this. Whether we fall naturally, fall through IVF or adopt, we will be a family in the end. I hope that helps in some way.

Cycle 5 why do you have to be so cruel????

Had two days of higher temps (36.68 - both days) and needed today's temp to be high also to confirm O...but alas...it dropped to 36.58 ....hence, no ovulation. Did a cheapie OPK last night +...did a CB one - ....I have never wanted the to come as much as I do now. I just want this horrible anovulatory cycle to end. It started with high hopes and ended in disaster.

So, till the breakthrough bleed (as it won't be AF without O) I'm just going to enjoy my husband, my birthday and of course xmas (birth of Jesus).

This is me...throwing in the towel. ~drops mike~ I'm out!

Can you add me in for the 30th? Hoping to squeeze in a 2017 BFP. Just cracking on with the BD now gonna heed all your advice and go for it this week as should be down to ov next week. And in working late shifts all week next week so not sure we will manage every other day then. Gonna see if we can get some in the bank so to speak lol. Always feel more positive at this point when starting the BD ing hoping can keep up the positivity. I've been taking folic acid since the beginning but have started taking low dose aspirin last cycle....this time will be first time will have taken them for full cycle. So who knows it's worth a shot right?! Good luck everyone testing this week x

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing how you get on and following your journey.

When are you going to test next?

 

[Wintergirl]

Thanks Wolf mamma! I think I will wait until Saturday morning , don’t want to test too early again! Not sure though! The first response test is meant to be good for early testing!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this too like Wintergirl Been reading this thread and congrats to those who got BFPs this month! Good luck everyone else too- would be amazing to have a BFP for Christmas.
I have tested a few times this month as period was due on 3rd but all negative I'm on day 46 now. My normal cycle is 37-38 days...should I wait a few more days and test again and go to docs if no AF? Anyone else had this before? Had some symptoms a week or so ago but nothing now other than being hungry but that might be me just being greedy!

LuckyLaura had the same thing, her cycle was just getting longer and longer and she was so frustrated! She decided to test one last time and BAM - she was 7wks along when she found out!

FX it's the same for you!

Oh Emzzz, sounds promising! I have read other who tested negative well after their AF was due! Fingers crossed for you! I’m dying to take another test but should really wait till nearer my due date for AF! So impatient!!!

 

[Emzzz]

Wow! I won't give up hope completely then- just annoying how I have such long cycles anyway so less chances each year!
