TTC #4

[Daisydunn15]

I'm officially 1DPO on the first cycle where I've put any real effort into planning or trying. I'm a very realistic person anyway so I'm not getting my hopes up but I'm finding the whole process quite exciting. I'm sure that'll pass in the coming cycles

So this month I actually had a good cycle. 28 days long with 11 days luteal phase. I got vaccinated so I assumed period would be knocked out so maybe it’s done the opposite & regulated everything for me. We took this cycle off due to circumstances so ready to start trying again next month which will be cycle 10.

10dpo and a negative on the FRER. Told myself I wouldn’t test this month and would wait for period to show or not show

10dpo is early, there’s still hope! I had BFNs until 11dpo first pregnancy.

CD38, temped this morning and I still haven’t ovulated after my loss. I don’t understand why it’s taking so long. Even when I stopped my pill it didn’t take this long. I’m worrying it’s messed everything up and it’s going to take months or something

Did you have irregular cycles before? I got my first period after my miscarriage on Monday. I really want reassurance things are back to ‘normal’ with my cycle but don’t want to get obsessed with tracking everything again all so soon. I am psyching myself up to start!!

I did but I never ovulated this late before I was tracking initially but then after CD 25 sort of gave up because I realised I had absolutely no idea when it might happen so I could end up peeing on sticks for weeks on end! I just thought I’d take my temp on Sunday to see where I was and again today and realised I’ve still not ovulated.

It’s so hard not to get obsessed isn’t it! Wishing you lots of luck this cycle xx

Hey ladies, hope it’s ok for me to join this thread. My husband and I are finally ttc after 5 years of marriage… it’s been a long time coming! it will be my first pregnancy. I keep overthinking every little feeling I have inside my body and feel like I’m tricking myself into thinking I’m pregnant! I was diagnosed with Endo 11 years ago so I really hope this doesn’t affect my chances in reality.
For those who have been pregnant before, how early on did you ‘know’ you were pregnant? Did you have a gut feeling or just felt like you were before doing a test? Sending well wishes to you all

Welcome! When I was TTC my first, I was convinced the first two cycles that I was pregnant and had loads of symptoms when I wasn’t. Then on cycle 3 when we fell pregnant I had barely any symptoms and was convinced my period was coming

My sister has endo so I understand just how painful it can be. Hopefully it won’t affect your TTC journey too much. I know everyone is different but my sister has fallen pregnant 3 times so it hasn’t affected her fertility fortunately. Fingers crossed for you!

I think I'm 11/12dpo. Blood tinged CM today, had cramps for the last 4 days. Not sure if its implantation bleeding or not. Frer was negative, but thought I could see something on the easy@home ones from yday and today.

Confused. Wish our body would print us out a report of what's going on every morning.

Hello everyone it’s been quite difficult to post this as I have been struggling with TTC for a number of years now. 11 to be precise. I stopped for a while as the pressure was becoming hard and early this year lo and behold I found out I was pregnant wasn’t even trying. My partner and I were over the moon so so happy. All came crashing down 7+5 where I started bleeding and miscarried. Que the devastation. We were entitled to 1 IVF treatment on NHS in 2015 and this failed we do not have the funds for this which is heartbreaking as we both work but live in the south where everything is super expensive. Every time we have tired to save something has gone wrong with the house car etc. Anyway, I confided my pregnancy with a good friend of mine and she was super happy for me. Obviously when it went wrong she was very supportive. Fast forward 9 months my due date has just passed and on this day my friend announced she was pregnant. I am very happy for her she’s been with her partner as long as I have but only just started TTC. My question is I have been crying a lot since she announced removed myself from all social media and feel devestated as I wish it was me. Is it wrong to feel like this. I don’t think I have grieved for my loss. To top it off after 11 years and misdiagnosis I have just been diagnosed with endometriosis which was spotted in 2015 after my ivf and never ever been told. So I am double devastated, I feel so sad that it can be so difficult to conceive when there are awful people out there that do not even look after their children. I have dogs to help but it is not the same I long for my own child and now I’m the wrong side of 30 thanks for listening xx

Thank you for sharing your journey so far with us I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have been TTC for so long. Your feelings are valid about your friends pregnancy, it’s a natural reaction, especially with it being announced around your would-be due date.

Now that you’ve been diagnosed with endo. Are there things that can be done to potentially help with your fertility? Xx

Hi everyone! Have mostly been lurking until now but could use some advice. TTC #1 cycle 2, so I know it’s still very early, but have been using OPKs for the first time this cycle just to get a better idea of when my fertile window might be and am on CD15 today with still no sign of a surge or increase even. I’ve been testing for 1-2x daily since CD11 and all test strips have been neg so far. Cycles are usually 27-30 days. I also never get any EWCM. Can’t help but start to get a bit worried. Any advice?? Is there a chance I missed the peak or that I am using the strips incorrectly or should I just keep testing? Thank you!

Welcome! I would keep testing, when I had a 31 day cycle I ovulated on day 19 so it could just be on its way, think it’s quite common to not ovulate until 17-19

There is a slim chance you already ovulated before CD11 but it’s quite unlikely with a 27-31 day cycle.

Trigger warning; Positive test


Hi Ladies, I did a test today and it was positive!!!! I’m still in complete shock as I never thought it’d see the day.

I’ve been on the TTC threads since they were first started and feel almost guilty for posting this as I know how it can feel seeing positives. But honestly want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the support/advice/openness from you all. It’s helped more than you’ll all ever know. I wish you all, all the luck
