KatD! Tomorrow is your testing day!! AF hasn't showed? How exciting!

 

[JaneyJan]

I think I will be able to hold myself back from testing early this month, purely because I don't want to see another BFN...
But strangely this month my boobs have been feeling really heavy and tender from 8dpo, which is 6 days before AF is due.. I usually don't get any pms until a day or two before, sometimes no warning at all. I did an opk just to relieve the urge to pee on a stick, but nothing.

Also a friend who has been on the waiting list for fertility treatment after waiting almost two years, who I've referred to in other posts just found out she was pregnant randomly, without even having any treatment! Miracles do happen.... I'm so happy for her, and waiting for one of my own.. baby dust to all...

Wow just noticed October 2012 had 43 BFPs!!!
Hopefully more are coming this month.
Im just going into my 2 week wait, think I've just ovulated as slight soreness in boobs and few cramps? Plus emotional.

Let's see what happens now......trying to catch up with everyone again reading where your all up to xcx

I'm gutted you haven't moved to the pregnant threads yet but...so glad you're still here. Sounds like a positive start to the tww.

I have no idea what's going on with me. Should have come on on Saturday but instead, Wednesday I had teeny pink spotting all day, very small amounts. Thursday was actual bleeding but didn't even half fill a pad and there were some little clots in the loo. Nothing Friday. Yesterday, a couple of pale pink wipes. Tested just in case today, bfn. Expected it. Have almost ewcm like discharge as well today. I have no idea anymore.

So I wouldn't really class that as a period?
Maybe test again in a couple of days? Could be you caught late and had some breakthrough/implantation bleeding? Hopefully, you never know!!
Yes im not too hopeful that I will move over to the pregnant thread anymore just sticking with the if it happens it happens plan. Have dtd in fertile window but turned him down last night because getting sore, to be honest I think im turning him down tonight because I cba which is unlike me but he's still doing weights and its nearly midnight lol. Xxx

Nothing wrong with taking a break. Last thing you need is a uti.

Yeah, I really don't think I'm pregnant. If anything it was a chemical again but I never got even a hint of a line beforehand so highly unlikely.

I guess it's just back to the opk's now and start over.

That's what I hope for as well but hope is gone so on to this cycle now.

When it's time it's time! All we can control at the end of the day is our attitude towards the situation.
I have no doubts that each and every woman here will have their rainbows! VIVA RAINBOW BABIES!!!

I've been of double mind about testing tomorrow tbh.. I'm thinking I'm not going to because 11dpo is still early. I'm just going to hand the doc the list of safe antibiotics that Sunflower gave me, the rest is in God's very capable hands. I've been having some pressure on the right, sometimes uncomfortable when I move my body almost like it gets stuck if that makes sense. I've decided to fully believe that it's my month instead of trying to be all negative about my chances. Maybe believing it has happened will create the perfect circumstances for it to happen. Isn't that what faith is at the end of the day... Hoping and believing in the unseen things

*hugs* to the ladies who've had negative tests i'ts not over till the witch shows up (but if she does, it'll only be a few days before you're back to BD'ing!)

I'm not due to test for 6 days yet, CD30 here. I've been waking up around 5 in the mornings feeling very nauseous with stomach pain, so I'm feeling pretty tired today! Counting the days for AF to arrive now.

 

[JemRose]

Miserable few days after AF showed. I'm back and ready to start again, had a little self-wallowing moment and stayed away from this forum for a few days! How is everyone doing? xx

I totally get the self-wallowing moment. \i had one today. I'm on cd5 and a bit low but ready to start again in a few days....

 

[Ismejustme]

Jem-rose & Sunflower, I've just shook myself off from last cycles disappointment, I've decided that if everything pre af is usual I'm ok (as you can be when ttc) with her arrival but I have an evil body that likes to taunt me with signs and ideas that "something is different" and then the hope and dream brain takes over.......

I too lay low for a bit and stepped away from the forums and all things conception.

Hubbys away this month I'm just taking my vits & charting as this is only my second cycle at it and I know it will be better to have a few charts to establish any patterns, no opks or anything but the cm is giving it away that I should be grabbing hubs at any opportunity.

It has allowed me to take stock of trying not to let it become all consuming, this of course seems very logical now as I know I'm in my fertile window but there's no chance of it coming to anything as the other half of this all important journey is the other side of the world and seeings as his swimmers and my egg can't find each other between the ovary and uterus I very much doubt they can cross continents!!!

I'm telling myself clearly that next month when he is here I will remain this way........ watch this crazy ladies space

It can be good to have a month off and just chart and have a break from the stress. xx

 

[Ismejustme]

Yes it can be we have every other month off as standard hubbys on a permanent rotation which has now changed to add another week so it's now 5 weeks away & maybe that actually means I put more pressure on it because it slims our chances, we sometimes miss two cycles but it does help with the monotony of doing the dance as we've been apart for so long it isn't a chore

 

[Alexis2017]

Gutted got called out when I had just finished my 10 hr shift so ended up working 8.00- 00.00 which is like 16 hours! Being a charge nurse on call really gets in the way of dtd. So I am cd#10 today and we haven't dtd for over 1 week now due to work but still neg opks but wanted to get started..hopefully can start tonight. It feels like everything is against us even trying to get pregnant. I wanted to say on phone no I can't work all evening as I have a baby to make !! Grrrrrr I couldn't speak to my colleage about her texting me her news about being pregnant. I had it all planned in my head I would say lovely news etc but as day went on I found it harder to say until I didn't say a thing. Now it's awkward. Dam it! I didn't want to be tbe bitter jealous type but it's happening.

Good luck Kat ! And anyone else due to test.

Yeah, you really don't want it to become a chore. I think it did for us...just too much stress! Try not to put too much pressure on it...I was doing that because of my age...it makes things much worse! Just focus on you this month, any good self-care, good nutrition, exercise etc just increases your chances... xx

Sorry about your work getting in the way. Good that you haven't got a pos opk yet though...It's really awkward when you can't use TTC as an excuse to keep the time free. xx

Anything new? Did you test again? I've been having vivid dreams, last night I dreamt I was pregnant (surprise surprise).
Think im 3dpo, boobs still a bit achey. Xxx

Um...tested with an ic this morning and there is a super faint line there which there wasn't on yesterday's. I don't believe it though, already flushed my wee so don't want to waste a superdrug one.

I'm having so many symptoms on and off but have been pretty much all through this past cycle, so I no longer trust my body!

Hope you caught this month xx

don't be too hard on yourself, Alexis. You are only human. Your emotions are normal, you are dealing with this situation the best way you know how. Saying nothing might be kinder than trying to make the right sounds and coming over as contrived. I just want it to be your turn already!!!

Reluctantly, LOL, I did a test today, - I'm 11dpo. My temp dropped from 37.04 at 9DPO to 36.98 10dpo and stayed at 36.98 today. My cervix is high, medium and closed. I have some cramping on and off and a little bit more CM than what I have experienced this entire time after O. I'm not negative, but so far, looking at all of the data, I am not leaning toward a happy ending this cycle. I'll see what tomorrow's temp bring. At the end of the day all that is left to do is suck it up and try again, eh?
