**** October Testing Thread****

[Alexis2017]

I've got the same short sharp pains i get at 6dpo about every 3rd cycle. Im convinced its inplantation that keeps failing. It's same pain, same time in my cycle. Does anyone know what I could take supplement wise if it was failing to implant. I tried baby asprin for 3 cycles before. The paon starts off like short sharp digging and then it stops then starts again 1 hour or so later but its sharper /nippier then eventually goes. It's very central uterus in location.

I get those too as well as a temp dip. I was wondering the same thing.

Really? Habe you ever asked a doc about them? I kinda thought a few times it was implantation as at the time you'd expect it but then bfn. I also get similar pains day before af arrives...wee short stabbibg pains. I just wonder if it is implantation how do I prevent it from failing?

Sorry everyone who is out. I have still got another week to go...it's so long. GG I really hope its both out months!

I have experienced this too with the last two cycles. Temp dips at 7DPO but failed implantation. I suspect that either the quality of my embryos are poor or my uterus is rejecting the embryos which might be problematic in the long run. I've been wondering if my oral sensitivities (which mind you has only started with the last two cycles too) are a tell tale sign of my immune system going into overdrive and possibly rejecting healthy embryos. Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as all of you ladies, I also have to wait a year before they will even consider doing any further testing. They don't take kindly to 'self diagnosis' and rarely react to any ideas if not their own.

I worry about the immune response seeing as I have an autoimmune disease and apparently it can make it harder but my gp says no research to say either way. I feel there is def a piece missing from the puzzle for us.

So I'm back to reality after a 2 weeks holiday with OH which was badly needed.

Congrats to those with BFPs and hugs to those who are out.

Due to the holiday, there have been no OPKs this month but I reckon I'm about 8dpo. Can't be sure as I don't really get much in the way of symptoms. Feeling quite relaxed from the holiday but have absolutely no doubt that the witch will arrive right on time.

Glad you enjoyed a relaxing holiday Moomingirl.

I've had obvious cramps all evening so I really am expecting AF to show now...either tomorrow or in the next couple of days. Not due on til 30th but last cycle was a shorter one

 

[MoominGirl]

Sorry to hear that _GG_

As I can't be sure when I ovulated I'm sure my body will go for a slightly longer cycle just for it's own entertainment. I suspect AF will arrive Monday. We'll see.

The holiday was so worth it though. We didn't pay much for it but it was so worth the time we spent together. The last few months in particular have been so tough emotionally.

MG, so jealous of your time away with OH... We need this too! x

GG, have you totally given up hope? There is still a few days left? x

I am going crazy here... I have given in and tested this morning with an ebay strip. Of course it was a bfn (+/-10dpo). But I caught myself thinking 'how can it be?! I'm sure I'm pregnant'... wow! What i am is CRAZY I stared at the test for long enough to 'see' a shadow of a shadow of a line lol!

No. The fertility doctor I was seeing didn't really believe in temping. He saw it as something that made women feel in control (!!!?) I have just got some raspberry leaf tea and have been drinking nettle tea as both are supposed to be good for the uterus. Also I reckon some fertility yoga to get the blood flowing down there might be good. I do worry that my AF ought to be heavier as they are only about 2-3 days and only one day heavy.

My temp is really low for luteal this month and has been crawling along the cover line and today (8dpo) has dipped below it - no idea what's going on! I'm at the 'it's never gonna happen' phase again. At this point I'm wondering if I even ovulated!

Will look into supplements to take. Don't fancy taking any more weird herbs though which is usually what's reccommended! Let me know if you find out anything please! xx

ps just Googled foods to help implantation and got this!

Eat foods rich in zinc during ovulation week to help with cell division and progesterone production: clean meat, fish, poultry, wheat germ, eggs, whole grains, and figs. 7. Eat cooked food the week before your period or possible pregnancy like soups to keep your uterus warm and progesterone levels high.

Now I'm worrying that my uterus is too cold!!

5 days till AF for me. I don't feel anything!! No boob soreness that I usually get. I've had a tiny bit of cramping yesterday and I am sooooo exhausted. Had the day off work yesterday and slept the WHOLE day. I dunno what's going on. No point in symptom spotting as I don't think it will ever happen for me OH took semen sample to the fertility clinic yesterday, he's still convinced it will come back as infertile. We're both a complete mess!! haha.

I'm starting to wonder if my LP is too short, roughly 10 - 11 days, I think it's definitely on the short end and wondering (like others in previous posts) if the egg just isn't able to implant. What a nightmare!

I remember wondering the same about my LP when ttc our 1st. The first 3 cycles I got positive OPK on cd18 which meant my LP was about 10/11 days. On cycle 4 I got positive opk out of nowhere on cd12 and that was the month we conceived.

I have been tracing my cycles for a few months now and I always get opk+ cd17/18 so again making my LP short. But this month I got a strong positive cd15 so I pretty much dragged oh to bed hoping this could be our chance! The next couple of days will tell. Good luck x

Not totally given up hope...won't do that til af actually arrives. No sign this morning. Waiting game now x

 

[JemRose]

Thank you Good luck for this month!! At least I know there's hope I haven't tracked anything at all this month, I've just tried to take a more relaxed approach. Only thing I know is when I'm due on (29th) .. I'm sure it will be pointless taking a more relaxed approach and won't even transpire to a BFP, but we can only hope! xx

There is always hope. Trying the relax approach is a good idea, if you can let go of the controls. I could never! Best of luck to you x

Just sat at work and I've just burst into tears! I'm just sooo tired and my head is hurting. I never get spots and my face is currently like a teenager with bad skin, I look disgusting! Cramping as if AF is going to come but not due until Sunday.

I promised I wouldn't take notice of anything this month, but it's impossible!!

 

[Alexis2017]

Girls I am feeling so tired. I am wiped out. Got our 1st appt tmrw really nervous about it now. Af due in 6 days... had some pinching pain on right side today for few moments. I am considering saying to DH we should take a break from ttc in Jan as marks 1 year trying and then start a fresh in February? But I am sure he will encourage me to keep going. I can't believe its almost cycle 11 for us..feeling really sad now. I am not sure how many appts will this appt tmrw lead too and will probably have to tell my manager but being a very close unit I really don't want too.

I know how you feel Alexis! I'm hoping and praying everyday that my appointmet letter arrives but at the same time I'm dreading how many appointments it will inevitably lead to meaning I will have to tell my manager and possibly my immediate team what's going on and I really can't face that! I don't want the pity and I don't want people being awkward around me, like my manager recently got a grandson and he is totally the apple of her eye she can't stop talking about him, will she feel like she can't mention him around me? I don't want to be the person who sours the room!

Your LP is fine. Anything less than 10 days can be problematic. 10-11 day LP is good enough for implantation. The 'norm' is 14 days (but then again a 28 day cycle is considered to be the norm and we all know that's rather the 'ideal' than the norm)

Yeah everyone in my work has a baby or young children except me. I will be the 'girl who can't have a baby' poor Ali she's having that IVF. I feel such a failure right now. Every day thisbweek I jave been taking to myself on tbe commute to work saying ' I will be a mum ' etc and trying to keep posìtive till I have more tests done and other part of me just wants to fall apart, stamp my feet and cry

Yea and I know that will be exactly what will happen at my work! I can just picture when I leave the room people discussing how sad it is for me and sit around pitying me over coffee without even realising how much that reaction hurts I am feeling more positive for this cycle coming, I think I will try SMEP and OH is starting vitamins too. I'm not going to kid myself though, unfortunately I am fairly certain that there is an issue stopping us conceiving but the doctor did tell us to just keep trying while waiting for appointments so maybe there is a tiny ray of hope! Good luck for tomorrow Alexis!
