I got my Bfp few days ago. Praying it sticks!! Good luck everyone and congrats to those with their Bfp x

Finally a long termer gets some amazing news. So so so so so so amazing. Huge congrats to you, wow 3 years trying this is just so lovely.


I just stupidly saw loads of posts from women who started ttc after me and have had their baby already...and a few others who started try after me and are almost 6 months and buying stuff and thinking of names and made my heart sink a bit. I should have been pregnant and had my baby by now like all of those women. I suddenly feel mega low and sad and why did I even go there and read the threads. I knew it would only lead to heart break.

I’m trying to keep upbeat and accept this is just the way it is for me and my hubby and for some people this isn’t a easy road or a fairytale it’s heart break and frustration and a constant question...why can’t my body just make a baby. ....dam it I am away to find some positivity

Hi lovely, I was feeling exactly the same and have been trying for 3 years, and now have a faint second line... don't know yet if it's real but never ever thought there'd be any kind of second line. Things can change really quickly. But I know how hard it is...big hugs. xxx

I can see a 2nd line too so exciting, I hope this is it for you.!!!!!! This is just the best news ever. I would jump up and down and do a dance but am lying in my bed unwell. Yayyyyyyyyyyyy


I managed to dtd 4 times this fertile window from cd#11~cd#16 and had planned to keep going’s but woke up yesterday Like a bus had hit me.....dragged myself in to work then vomited, my temp was 37.9..had riggers all night. Slept for 14 hours and temp still 37.9...went up to 38.9 last night . The whole time I’ve had cramping at my ovaries and lower back pain and so silly but was hoping I could be pregnant despite the illness. Could the illness and temp kill off a implantation ??? I have no idea what dpo I am as didn’t do opks this cycle for 1st time in ages. I had loads of each cd#11 so started did that day and covered cd#11, cd#13, cd#14, cd16. So typical for me to get the flu I feel so warm. This happened a few cycles ago at same time it’s so annoying. I feel like universe is against us getting preggers

I had af like cramping cd#14 and really felt the same as af coming so was either ovulation pain or implantation pain. I am around 5dpo but could be more if ovulated earlier when I had each on cd#11 who knows.

Did a ClearBlue this morning (they are £10!!!) and it was a BFP, and I'm about 4.5 weeks. Can't believe it after all this time...I honestly thought it couldn't happen.

Sorry I imissed a whole page and didn’t see your replies. Yay that is amazing news. Gives me hope it could happen one day for us. What are your symptoms ?.. did you have any early symptoms post ovulation

This must be so hard to take it all in after trying for so long. You finically got there !!!

Sorry you are so ill. Sounds like you are covered this month for dtd. Don't think it will affect implantation.

I had literally given up and was just going through the motions. I was very fatigued for the 2 weeks before the bfp and quite depressed. Now I'm anxious, have insomnia, sore, veiny boobs, and mildly nauseous first thing.

I think my OH having cranberry juice and hydrating helped, and I took Spatone iron water for the few months before and high strength vitamin D and some zinc. I started eating brazil nuts for selenium - for implantation. I also stopped charting, temping and opking. We dtd every day cd9, 10, 11 using AI. Cannot believe it worked. Was in shock all yesterday - we have been trying for nearly 3 years.

Also stress levels had gone down as various things had got sorted.

But I think the main thing was the iron, vitamin d and the selenium.

It can just suddenly happen...don't lose hope. I really hope you get your BFP soon. xxx

I’ve been taking zinc and vit d and iron for ages. I decided to try Brazil nuts this cycle but I only ate them for a few days . I always had this feeling I would get pregnant in March so will find out in about 10 Days time iI guess. I didn’t chart this month either or take opks and started acupuncture last cycle at ovulation and also had it to clear out my uterus before this cycle but missed it this cycle due to work. I felt dizzy over the wknd and been having cramping at ovaries and feel sore and aches down below but who knows.

So happy for you I think you must be a dry strong women as at almost 1.5 years .txt I am struggling to cope most weeks. We hit 2years this December and will be having ivf around then so will see. Was hoping to not have ivf.

 

[SugaryIris]

Hi ladies, I’m officially out, at arrived today... moving on to cycle 6 ttc

 

[alwayscoffee]

So I held it for an hour and a half and got a much stronger positive on an old Superdrug test I found in a drawer (it was a year out of date so didn't think it would work at all. Also got faint postives on 2 other cheapies....still can't believe it. I think once I've done a CB it'll be real! xx

omg!! yay!! Congrats How exciting!!!

 

[BeckyBoo6747]

Congrats sunflower ! Wishing everyone the best of luck this month
I’m back after my miscarriage in January we decided to wait a couple of cycles for my body to get back to normal
I’m only about 2dpo I had the worst ovulation cramps yesterday it felt like AF was coming, & had awful dry mouth today can’t seem to shift it , the dry mouth I had as a pregnancy symptom before & I’m driving myself crazy already ha ha
It would be amazing if I fell pregnant this cycle but I’ve been trying not to stress about it anymore

I just ate the brazil nuts during the luteal phase. I had a feeling I would get pregnant in February. I really hope your feeling about March is right. It is tough doing this long term. I hope the ivf works if you get that far. I'll check back and see how things have gone this month. Keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

So hard not to get your hopes up! I have everything crossed for you. x

 

[Pidgeridoo]

Oh Alexis sounds so promising! I hope this is it for you!

 

[Alexis2017]

Oh Alexis sounds so promising! I hope this is it for you!

I'm trying so hard to not get my hopes up but also worried if It's not IB then what the hell is it. It's watery and pinky and small amount. I am not sure when I ovulated but normally is around cd#14 which only makes me 5dpo. AF not due till 9 days. I want to tell DH but don't want to get his hopes up. I've put a pad on and still lying in my bed melting. Worried a high temp effect embryo. At least I am off work tmrw and Friday too to try rest up.

Please please be my miracle sticky bean !

 

[Pidgeridoo]

I have absolutely everything crossed for you Alexis! You so deserve this to be your sticky bean!

This March testing thread could be the one that sends all the lovely long termers off to tri one! Just wish I could go with you's lol

 

[Alexis2017]

I am not there yet only time will tell. It's going to be a long 9 days !at least the next 4 are not at work.

I don't think I'd believe it if I saw 2 lines anyway xx

 

[liz85]

Good luck Alexis!! Fingers crossed x
