6 BFPS so far! Congratulations everyone! And big hugs for those with BFN - it is so disheartening

Where I'm at:

Potentially Ov'd CD11 (followed SMEP and used pre-seed). But on BBT, chart says CD16 (very odd in my 27day cycle, so going with the OPK). VERY sore bbs and weird nipple sensations since Ov, like nothing I've experienced before. Cramps yesterday CD19 (potentially DPO 8). Today's BBT a big dip. I am trying to manage expectations but it's so hard isn't it!

Ugh, symptom spotting in the tww is the worst! I swear I notice every little nigggle that any other time I probably wouldn’t even notice never mind convince myself it must mean I’m pregnant!

I know! I've been trying to justify what I've been feeling in the TWW to really convince myself it's nothing and almost that I'm going to have a hard time conceiving in order to prepare myself for the awful disappointment.

Removed myself, mentally can’t deal with seeing a witch next to my name, I know I’ll be out.
So no testing for me.

Hanging around to keep this thread updated and then I’m leaving the forum.

Bummer. Remember, it's okay to take time away and rejuvenate yourself. Wishing you the best, honey.

Sorry to hear that Millie! Sometimes I have to take a break from here too, especially in the months I dont O. Its all to much sometimes. Hooe your ok xx

I know what you mean, it sucks seeing the witch next to your name! I'm so sorry it's taken you so long. I'm always rooting for you and you deserve it so much! Take a break and come back when you are ready

Big hugs Millie. I wish there was more we could do to make it happen for us all. I think I might back off after this cycle too. Not because I've been trying for as long, but because it becomes all consuming. I need to focus on other things to keep me sane.

Keeping everything crossed for you x

Thanks ladies. Had a bit of an argument with hubby and we haven’t spoke a word since he got home yesterday.. I’m just fed up of feeling like I’m doing this alone. I’m the only one that has to go through it all when AF hits because it’s just another day to him. He doesn’t even get upset.

I desperately want us to try a bit harder. But the second I mention changing our diets/lifestyles he flips and says it wouldn’t make a difference. He’s not even willing to try so I don’t know what to do really.


Af was due yesterday and I’ve nothing but brown spotting since late yesterday, so just waiting for it to get on with it.

Aww millie! I know how you feel! I feel the same too! OH is exactly like that in regards to diets/lifestyle. Its so frustrating!

Im just about ready to throw in the towel. Was rwqlly positive this month, being the clomid actually made me O this time. But here we are, 12dpo, stark white bfns, horrendous cramping and no AF! Im so fed up. I don't even want to do another round at the moment.

Me and OH do argue, this ttc takes its toll doesn't it? Especially when the years start rolling by. I hope you make up soon. I hate arguing but sometimes its so frustrating.

Big hugs! Your not alone!

AF arrived 2 days early. Did everything right and covered the right days, but no luck. Pretty devastated but handled it much better than last month. 6 months in and very much over TTC.

@Millie, DH is similar - he doesn't get invested in TTC because he doesn't want to get his hopes up at all. I don't find that he is supportive when AF arrives, but that is his coping mechanism. Have you tried framing diet/ lifestyle changes in another way (e.g. going on a health kick) rather than TTC related? I decided that if I am not going to get pregnant, then I am going to invest my time and effort in sculpting a fit body for my own sense of achievement/ satisfaction

Congrats to everyone that got BFPs and hope many more to come

Tested early (10 DPO) and it's a BFN. I'm so tired of seeing that! I'm going to keep testing, but it's probably just another month wasted. The spotting continues too. I probably shouldn't waste another test.

Hubby is pretty sad that another month is gone. I think he is starting to shut off and just wanting to give up because everyone around us is getting pregnant, but us. We are doing everything right and nothing is working. Next month is my 5th cycle (technically, 6th cycle, but I wasn't tracking my period the first month) and it feels like time is going by so slow!!

I tested this morning, I haven’t been able to identify ovulation through opks or bbt but something told me to test as we have friends over tonight and I need to know if I can drink. I really think I saw something but it’s so faint I don’t know. Now I’m annoyed at myself! A for getting my hopes up and B because now I’ll be obsessing until I get the chance to go out and get more tests.
