TTC #6

[Burrito88]

I wish we hadn’t told anyone we are TTC. My mum commented that it’s taking a while… we are only on our 6th cycle! So frustrating how insensitive people can be Every month feels like a year for me.

two positive tests this morning didn’t expect that! Now I feel really guilty about the two ciders I had last night…

Guys thanks for all the love yesterday, it warmed my heart

I’m alright today. I ate pate and smoked mackerel with Brie, washed down with a bottle of wine last night. I took another test this morning and it’s back to negative, so that’s a good thing - I can start fresh again once Flo has gone.

To be honest I’m just grateful I can become pregnant, I know there are many women who can’t.

Hope you’re all alright ladies. Hugs all round xx

Hi everyone! Haven’t posted in here for ages. I’m still not pregnant just popping on to say I’ve found a good ttc podcast, if anyone is into that sort of thing! It’s called Big Fat Negative and it’s nice to listen to something and think omg im not crazy, these girls are thinking the same as me! They also do a myth buster section with a fertility dr about lots of different things which pop up on ttc forums all the time, pre seed, drinking caffeine and alcohol, etc etc. I’m sure we’ve all read these random things at 2am when we are in the 2ww!!!

anyway, I can’t even think about trying again until autumn so just gonna sit here and take my supplements and drink wine good luck everyone 🤍

Another surprise pregnancy announced at work which brought on the discussion about everyone else’s perfect quick ttc journey then there’s me.. they don’t know we have been trying and have had 2 losses….I feel like it’s never going to be my turn

Got a BFP this morning after my second chemical last month…4th time pregnant, but never a good outcome. I think I’m happy, there’s just no joy with it now. Trying to hope and keep calm.

Just had our donation this morning. This is our 6th month TTC and its starting to wear me down and make me think it's never going to happen. We can only get one donation from our donor once a month so we dont even get the chance to try for the full week, we have to pick the best day that suits both us and the donor in the fertile week and hope that it works.
Sorry for the woe is me message, just feeling really down and a bit dehumanised at the moment. It all feels so clinical and businesslike.

Oh girls I got my period on Saturday Only just been able to bring myself to type it out. Next stage now is doctors! We have a majorly busy June so no testing this month, make an appointment and just going with it. I feel relieved and scared. Like we are going to start getting answers but I’m dreading what they are!

Anyone that’s started investigating why they haven’t been successful - what can we expect from our initial appointment? I’m so clueless.. it’s like whole new unknown territory!

Currently about 8DPO - horrendously sore boobs and really keen sense of smell. Was nearly sick last night because I could smell dog poo - no one else could smell it and looked at me like I was insane.

keeping everything crossed that this is a good sign!

AF arrived this morning - 6 days late

I’m feeling proper down tonight it’s our first wedding anniversary this weekend and I so wished we were expecting by now just seen a few pregnancy announcements and it was a proper kick in the teeth

I got my Clear Blue confirmation today but I’m also bleeding with some cramping. I guess I’m having a chemical

Just had to do a presentation to my work board while going through the worst cramps of my life. Hoping the bleeding finishes tonight so I can carry on with the week and not have to think about it anymore. Decided to tell husband, I saw his heart break in front of me

clomid sounds excellent. I’d love twins.

I don’t believe in this kind of thing but had it done to humour my friend for her birthday, but had a fertility reading back in Jan and she told me August and May were significant for us - likely to conceive in the August cycle and give birth in May. I’ll technically have two cycles that count as August as I was CD1 on 1st and my cycles are 28 days, but keeping everything crossed for this one. My next period is due on my OHs birthday so it would be amazing to be able to surprise him with a positive test, rather than being on my period

Of course my spotting has lead to AF whilst I’m on holiday. On cycle day 25, when my last few cycles have been ridiculously long (80+ days) Sod’s law really!

But trying to stay positive, hopefully this is the start of things resetting and hopefully a bit more normality now with my cycles

 

[Spencerskates]

CD1 today. So gutted! This was the first month that j thought we were pregnant so I’m really sad that we’re not.

 

[rulebreaker101]

AF came today. I just want to sit in a corner and cry

 

[Spencerskates]

Period started late last night.

I feel rubbish and like my periods aren’t ‘normal’ because I get a lot of spotting 2-3 days before full flow starts, but my periods are really regular and not super long, so doubt I’d be taken seriously at the doctor.

the hardest thing about this is seeing my OH so sad. I wish I could give him a baby.
