TTC #4

[justnosy]

Have you tested again yet??!!

I tested again this morning with another FRER and it's positive Clearer, darker line. Used one of the ClearBlue digital date ones and it said Pregnant 1-2.

I wasn't really expecting to see that as I've had no symptoms at all yet and by this point with my last pregnancy I had sore breasts and fatigue.

Passed my peak now this month and won’t have chance to have sex until tomorrow now so we’ll see, but I’m not optimistic.

I feel so fragile today. I’m a teacher, so spend every day with other people’s kids and sometimes I just find it so hard. Like today one of my lovely girls had lost something and we couldn’t find it, out of the blue, she asked if I was a Mum, and when I said no she said ‘I thought not, Mums can always find missing things’. I had to take a minute to pull myself together and then felt really bad for taking it to heart when it wasn’t meant like that.

And then this evening a colleague announced her pregnancy.

I just keep feeling like it’ll never be me.

Confirmed yesterday's strip test with a first response and it's a clear positive, also darker than it was last month at the same point in my cycle so hoping this one sticks

Hello all you lovelies Not sure I’m in the right place, but I don’t want to be insensitive over on the miscarriage page. (my usual place)

Long story short…I had an early mc in the summer, a mmc in the autumn…first cycle TTC after all that and I have the faintest, faintest line on a first response. But I just don’t believe it yet.

I promised my husband I wouldn’t test constantly or early (not due af until Monday) but I just couldn’t help myself…I kind of knew, I “feel” the way I felt the other times. But it’s too early to tell him. And none of my friends are at the stage in life, so I thank you ladies for letting me put this here.

*Trigger warning positive test*

Morning everyone, just taken a cheapy on 3rd morning urine but terrified of reading it wrong. I’ve only ever had negatives and with it being quite light it’s throwing me off- can someone offer their opinion?

As soon as asda opens I will go and get a clear blue

Unfortunately OH has been told he has less than 1% healthy sperm. We are devastated. We don’t have any other details other than that at the moment but he will have an ultrasound to rule out blockage.
My period also came today. It felt like a big ‘fuck you’!

Hope everyone is ok 🤍

I’ve certainly been enjoying my wine and cheese this Christmas

Hoping 2022 will be all our year

CD10 and I’ve just done my first LH test since September, when we had our second loss.

I’ve had 2 full cycles (with 0 TTC) since then, avoided DTD around when I would be ovulating so I wouldn’t have to think about the possibility of being pregnant but I think I’m ready to start TTC again. I normally ovulate between 19-24 dpo (I have long cycles) so still a few days to wait, I feel kind of excited about it again.

I’m still so scared but I feel like I have taken time to get back to being me outside of TTC so it hopefully doesn’t become my whole life again.

Hoping 2022 brings us all healthy pregnancies

I've been completely in denial this month.
I was so so so so sure this was the cycle we would conceive... and then this morning AF arrived.
Because of heavy pms/pmdd and lots of pain I'm supposed to take medication starting 10 days before AF is due, but I didn't even take those this month because I convinced myself I wouldn't need them. Now I feel like an idiot and I'll have to deal with the physical pain as well this week.
I know I have no right to complain but f*ck I'm sad today and right now I have no hope for future cycles. There must be some magic thing nobody told us about, right? I mean, how do people conceive right away? I just don't get it.

Sorry for the self pity rant, I just needed a place to feel sorry for myself.

 

[Cloak]

well I haven’t got what I’d called a BFP but i think I can see a faint line!! Top is yesterday, bottom is today??

 

[PunkRocker]

Afternoon everyone.

Longtime lurker but I feel so awful today that it seemed like the right time for my first post. I feel like I have no right to complain really, we're still quite early in the TTC process but it already feels so disheartening.
We're both 33 and have been trying since we got married in September last year. I'm tracking ovulation and am getting used to working out what my cycle is actually like after being on the pill since I was 16. No joy so far and usually AF arrives, I feel a bit disappointed but I start thinking about the next month and move on.
Had my booster in the middle of December and I think it must have messed me about a bit. My peak has been on CD14 since starting tracking but it was on CD12 last month and not as high as usual. I didn't dwell too much on it and with it being Christmas and having a break from work we DTD more than usual without thinking too much about it.
AF is due to arrive on Monday but I woke up today with cramps and backache and I just lost it and haven't really stopped crying all day. I'm sick of peeing in a pot (and still getting it on my hand most of the time!) I'm sick of people seemingly getting pregnant by accident! My nephew is 19 and he's a troubled kid to put it mildly. His 17yr old girlfriend, who he's known all of 5 minutes, is due in August. My brother met his girlfriend NYE 2020 and my niece was born in October last year. I've even got backdated frustration about that today!

I'm sorry for the essay! I just needed a place to vent today. My best friend got pregnant 2 months after her wedding so I know she'll only have well-meaning words with no understanding

wishing everyone a happy new year and lots of baby dust

Does anyone ever have moments where they feel like just giving up?

I know I want a baby, and I know my husband does. But this process is so heartbreaking, sometimes I just feel like I can’t continue. Maybe it’s because I can’t imagine it ending in anything but loss anymore, but sometimes I just crave life before we started this journey. When I didn’t have to worry about it.

Then I feel guilty and think it’s never going to happen if I don’t constantly prove how much I want it by not thinking such things.

Just struggling at the moment sadly.

 

[Helloimgems]

Loving all your positive stories and sending love to those trying or going through hard times. Good news of my own… after 13 months of being off contraception, numerous blood tests, discovering I have a thyroid issue, every gynae procedure under the sun and a week away from having to discuss the next stages my period has FINALLY arrived naturally! I don’t think anyone has ever been more happy for the time of the month! Got my gynae appt next week so hoping we might not have to go down the route we thought we would, fingers crossed!

 

[calmyourritas]

Still no period - tested again (why do I do this?).

BFN. Now out of tests thankfully.

Friend has been for her 12 week scan today which really hurts. I cried so much when I saw her picture and then felt awful because I’m so happy for her.

I’m 9dpo on cycle 3 and I think I have a faint positive I think December is going to be a lucky month.

 

[Clojo92]

Hey all, checking in! It’s been a while.

I’m currently in the TWW after going my 3rd round of ovulation induction (which was needles this time, not fun!) but I’m over the moon it has actually worked. Whether I’ll get pregnant I don’t know, but knowing this has worked for me makes me feel way more positive. I’m under strict instructions to test only on a certain date but the temptation is already there!! I’m only 3DPO

So good news, but not *the* news sending you all so much love and positivity

 

[JLXRD]

So I have taken several cheapies and they all have a faint line on them so I know yesterday wasn’t an ident buuuuut I’m spotting so I think it was a chemical. Also with my last loss, by this point I had quite dark lines and these are not that. I don’t regret testing early as I just had a feeling I was pregnant again and it was good to know I’m not just going nuts.

I have learned the hard way that 2 line doesn’t mean baby, so I wasn’t thinking it would all be ok, and tbh I was not expecting anything to happen this cycle anyway as it’s been an utter shit show after my loss - I’m on CD55. Had a little cry and now I’m ok.

Onto the next cycle x

 

[Rudi_godson]

I found out today that my best friend is pregnant after trying for one month - I'm 8 months in with not a single even late period let alone BFP and I literally feel heartbroken.

Hey everyone. Tried off and on for 10y. I had PCOS diagnosed in 2013 but that was reversed in 2019 after more thorough bloods and a hysterosalpingogram. Just found out I don't ovulate. I'm so surprised because I have EWM and a 35 day cycle.

I start clomid in December. Until then I am trying to get stable on Sertraline after a relapse mentally.

Wishing you all all of the luck in the world. I will no doubt be back when December comes X
