***** JANUARY 2018 testing thread *****

[Alexis2017]

Congratulations rainbow. H&H pregnancy hun. Great start to Jan testing. I'm out Af came Monday. .....bah!
Good luck with your appointment Alexis x

Ah sorry fastnet, onwards and upwards to next cycle.

I just read sruff about zika virus advice about Thailand and now a bit worried. Says shouldn't go pregnant or if get pregnant post travel 6 months its a risk and also ivf treatment would be 6 months post travel. I am annoyed for not doing more research..we go in April

Aw Alexis! What a situation! Will you still go? It would be a holiday of a lifetime so I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss it! Six months seems like such a long time though! But I guess life can't be on hold forever at the same time!

Still going . I am thinking tht we woukdnt be at top of ivf list before November anyway...Its just a slight worry If I am pregnant when I go. I guess we just need to cross the bridge when or if we come to it

Well ladies joined here cos convinced AF is still gonna show from Dec cycle but CD32 today and still no sign. My average cycle is 29 days but I have gone to 33/35/37 on 3 occasions in the past 12 months so guessing this us another long cycle just to torture me when I want to get back on it TTC. Althoygh this tiny voice in my head keeps saying despite BFN you 're technically still not out yet. Why do we torture ourselves on the tiniest gilmmer of hope?

I found that these irregular cycles are driving me insane!!! Last month it was a 44 day cycle - but only because I decided to end it when I had the spotting on CD45 (mind you it was so light, I had used only one pad and it wasn't even full. Spotted for 4 days after but only brown). FF estimates that there was a possible O on CD29 but I'm not buying it. If I had to continue with that cycle I'd be on day 50 now and no O signs. OPKs are in limbo too but cervix is high and soft but closed. Go figure, eh? Lol.

TTC is stressful enough without having to guess what kind of cycle you might or might not have next.

Hey Kat and Nikki!

Think I’m also having a long one this month cd34 and no sign on af and haven’t had any o symptoms and no positive opk either

I’m testing again tomorrow as I’ve been completely exhausted for a few days and nearly fell asleep at my desk at work and I’ve had backache... I don’t even know why I’m symptom spotting I’ll be gutted when it’s a bfn !!

Well AF has reared her ugly face just tonight for me on CD32 so back to the drawing board. We have had over 10 days now without sex since 2ww started I think we were both exhausted from trying so hard for nearly 3 weeks as soon as AF ended. Plus family company at Xmas isn't particularly the right mood for DTD lol. So hoping for a short AF so can get back on it for 2018. Few stressed relieved on our finances side of things so I am hoping this will help next couple of months as my stress levels and his should lower a bit x

Oh no!! Fingers crossed for next month for you!! Hopefully you both recover so there are lots of good bd next month!

 

[Alexis2017]

I have been doing opks even though can't dtd till after todays test. Not sure what to make of them...bit weird. Usually I get a clear progression. Not sure if it's worth trying to dtd today after hsg test?
It looks positve today and previous 2 days? What do you think? I had a temp dip 3 days ago on tuesday, spiked wednesday, back down to nornal Thursday...strange...then today I forgot to take it

Alexis you cant put your life on hold. I think you are doing the right thing by going to Thailand. Its amazing! We went a few years ago now and had a great time! Although we were supposed to be going to carribean but had to change flights due to work commitments so ended up swapping them for thailand.....swapping destinations could be an option if you do get pregnant and are really worried. Maybe talk to GP before you go? I can imagine of you get pregnant youll be so over the moon you wont mind where you end up! Good luck for your appointment today....keep us posted x

Thanks Melly. I guess I can't put everyrhing on hold. I had loads of ewcm on wiping this morn so think I may still have a small chance to dtd today after hsg. On my way to the hospital. Just want it over with now!

Sigh, I'm feeling so low these last few days. Cd25.. just know the witch is on the way with this mood.

Been really crampy since yesterday but I've had cramps for so many days of this cycle so they seem kinda irrelevant..

Wish I knew what we've been doing wrong all these years. Feel like the world just doesn't want us to have a baby

 

[Melly41]

Sorry to hear you are feeling low millie. You are not doing anything wrong hun. So many early pg symptoms are similar to pms so youre cant rule yourself out till the rears her ugly head.....which she just might not.....fingers crossed for you. Will you test? If so when? And how many dpo are you? We might be testing around the same time as im cd24 (12dpo today). X

 

[tara_46]

hey af is due around the 9 jan. tested today BFN boooo

I got my perios on 12 Dec Any cycle buddies? im sure i o on xmas day

My last af started the 12th dec and I'm also due my next on the 9th Jan
Though I'm not sure when or if I ovulated cause I had too many pos opks
I've felt crampy basically everyday of this cycle it's been a mess..

Oh I really hope you get a positive this TTC can really be one massive headf@@k

 

[Kholl]

Alexis, thinking of you. I hope the procedure goes smoothly and you are feeling well.

Millie I am so sorry. I hate that you are going through this misery. I hope you are surprised with a bfp.

CD 24 for me today, no idea what’s going on for me.

Thanks ladies xx

I won't test until either Monday or Weds.. af is due on Tuesday but I've had 26 day cycles before so might even get af on Sunday.
Will just see how Im feeling Monday and decide if it's worth it or if I should just wait til im actually late.

I'm really not sure how many dpo I am
I had a super dark pos opk on cd14 but I've been having pos opks since cd13. They finally stopped on cd22. Never noticed any ewcm and I've had cramps throughout all this cycle so literally no idea if I even did ovulate or when. It's just been rubbish..

 

[KatD]

oh Millie...my heart breaks for you! I'm so sorry that you are having a very difficult time. I wish there were some magic words I could say to bring you that bfp sooner! I however do not doubt that you will be a mommy. I know you will.

Melly I'm keeping my FX for you hunni! Hope this is your cycle!

FX beautiful ladies!

thinking of you Alexis

I'm sorry you've had such a rubbish cycle, especially so close to fet. Personally, I would wait until I was late. I'm the sort of person who would want a definite positive otherwise I'd rather not know as it just builds false hope. That's just me though.

Hope these January blues pick up for us all with some more BFP to spur us on. I've got the strangest AF very light for me....took tampon out at lunchtime that was only half soaked and just put a liner in my undies and nothing has soaked onto before bedtime since lunchtime. Just a little wipe. Sorry TMI. No cramps either and no life despairing pms....usually get really down couple days before. So yet another set of tricks the witch is throwing my way. Fingers crossed it's a short one and we can crack on with the BD again x

 

[xMillie]

Thanks Kat and Moomingirl xx

I'll probably wait til I'm late but I'm sure the witch will get me before then..!

I should really get myself organised for my fet.. need a big list of do's and don't during the tww. So our embryo settles in nicely and sticks around this time!!
