YES! I hit 10 DPO, test negative and then I’m absolutely raging waiting for the next cycle 🫠Thanks for all the love on my post yesterday, I was in an awful headspace and just needed to rant…I feel my period approaching though, I’m 11 DPO and my temps have been dropping. Ah well, I just don’t know what else I can do! I might try and distract myself, until ovulation again lol.
does anyone else find themselves wishing for their periods to hurry up and a new cycle to begin, once they know they aren’t pregnant?
I feel this! I found this cycle particularly hard as like you say it was the last chance for 2024I constantly feel like I’m wishing my life away with it. I’ve really been trying not to focus on it too much and have been more of a lurker here as to not hyperfocus, but I’m hating this month more because it means there’s no chance of a 2024 baby when what I originally imagined was a 2023 baby
Congratulations
I’ve been off the pill for over 1 year now and nothing!
and I don’t really know what’s best to do!Every other day is plenty they say, so every day is more than enough. There is some research that says it’s best to give your man time to rest and replenish if you get meDuring the ovulation window is it best to have sex more than once each day? Or should once a day be enough?
We haven’t been tracking dates etc just doing it 4/5 times a week. But we’ve decided to start taking it a bit more seriously now
Any tips pleaseeee
so you’re doing enough. If you’ve been trying a year it’s worth getting some tests from the GP.call again. If your unit allows you to turn up F2F then that’s an option also.
(I know that’s easier said than done!)Your EPU may do bloods if you go in and tell them this. Ours does. It gives you answers rather than waiting in that anxiety.
I just couldn’t wait… I just booked a private reassurance scan for Friday evening as I’ll be 6 weeks and 1 day. We have a family holiday Saturday morning for 2 weeks and I don’t want anxiety over not knowing affecting me.
it can be normal but I know the stress.
The problem is that you might not get a conclusion from a scan, that’s why they won’t do it so early. They may see a heartbeat and you’re ok. They may see no egg sack at all and it’s bad news. But they may see a sac with nothing in because it just hasn’t formed yet or because it’s not progressing and there’s no way to know which but wait.
I really appreciate you all taking the time to message me. I at least feel I’ve got to speak to someone now and I feel heard xx I do a shed load of tests at all the right times and throughout to try and understand my cycle/ be able to pass on the info when I’m seen by the fertility clinic. I normally get a couple of days of a flashing smiley at 12/13 and a peak at 13/14 (has differed and been later in my cycle before)You can’t save up good quality sperm. There are animal studies that show older sperm can produce healthier babies but the challenge is getting that sperm to the egg, the studies are using IVF, not relying on the sperm getting itself there first.
thank you! I thought that, but then our fertility clinic when doing the initial tests told us to do every few days 🫠 I’ve tried every method now and none have worked (apart from when we’ve not particularly been tracking) which is infuriating! Because the outcomes even then still weren’t good I just don’t know what to do haha. I have hit the peak every time as well. Next time I might just try literally every 2 days and see what happens then
hope it’s going better for you ladies! No 2023 baby for me 🥲
