TTC #6

[CallMeHollywood]

Apparently my fertile window starts today but my LH level is currently 0.14. Looks like my cycle has been affected by the chemical Don’t know if I can even be bothered to BD. All the emotions today.

So, hopping onto this thread as TTC my 2nd is already proving more difficult than my first! With our first, I came off the pill rather… erratically, shall we say, so my body was all over the place. I didn’t track anything, didn’t even have a proper period and fell pregnant within 6 weeks. Only now do I appreciate how bloody lucky that is!
TTC no.2.. only had 3 cycles of trying so far but doing so much more this time round in terms of tracking, predicting, all the apps etc and it isn’t happening as easily as the first time!
I’m not for one minute moaning, as I know this could be a much longer journey. Just want to perch myself here with others with the same end goal

so, maybe not my period… I’d appreciate an honest response on my picture. I’ve put this on premom too but I trust you ladies to give a reliable response.

I’m 12DPO, but honestly, I think that’s off given the light nature of these pee sticks.
Should I try the Boots cheapo I have? Thanks girls xx

Thank you, I’ll have a look. Thanks for the encouragement too.

In line with this I came home from work today with a really bad headache I’m 11DPO that just hasn’t shifted all day so gave into temptation and tested which resulted in this…

I can definitely see a line, can you see it too? Trying my best not to build my hopes up but already been emotional! I’ve felt all sorts of symptoms since my ovulation date so it would make sense but I know what my luck is like! I also know these tests aren’t the best!

From my last post, we pretty much missed ovulation date due to working opposite shifts, however managed to squeeze in a couple of days on the lead up.

Currently I'm CD28, 11DPO, between 6-9DPO, I felt heavy, bloated as F and strange pulling sensations which gave me hope that something was happening. Last few days I haven't felt anything. Tested 2 days in a row - BFN so not expecting much. There is still that glimmer of hope I guess

Not sure the point of my post other than to ramble on hoping for the best good luck to all x

Waiting times are ridiculous for the NHS, my husband is having tests done and he had his done at the beginning of May, had his results appointment 6 weeks later, one result was abnormal but the rest was okay so they've asked him to do another test to see if it was a lab error or something that we need to look into, and his second appointment isn't until September! It's a joke!

So sorry glad you're not going to be waiting around any longer but wish you had a better outcome

I’m just like so like in distress because they always teach us in school to use protection as a pregnancy may happen - then when we went one it doesn’t happen!!!!! Haha so weird

 

[Pinkpascal]

Today in the car I really noticed that it smelt bad, like cat pee and smelly feet but my fiancée couldn't smell it at all. I'm 7/8dpo and for the last week my cm has been really wet which is weird for me because I'm normally pretty dry after ovulation but today it's more milky and slightly thicker. I hate the TWW so much, always symptom spotting and second guessing.

AF predicted today… AF just arrived… I mean at least I’m regular.. pass me the wineeee

 

[Keera]

I’m so glad I found this thread and I hope you ladies don’t mind me jumping on and having a bit of a ramble. I’m starting to get absolutely terrified to test now because I can’t handle the disappointment of a BFN
I have two friends who fell pregnant to men from one night stands (no judgement - gorgeous children and luckily in lovely co-parenting situations now) but I just think HOW HOW HOW did this happen so easily and seemingly randomly for you both

Anyway AF is due today - been having mild cramping this morning and I’m hoping to myself it’s the takeaway last night that’s upset my stomach a bit and not actually her!
Planning to test tomorrow morning if I’m still not on

Also - has anyone on this thread got eczema? I have quite severe patches on my arms and upper body and I read that for lots of women pregnancy eases or even “cures” it completely? My eczema normally flares up badly before AF and this cycle it hasn’t at all - in fact it looks better than ever!? In saying that I think I’m just overthinking any potential sign that I’ve caught!

I've tried them all I just want to know what's happening. I'm normally like clockwork and this is so confusing. I'm not sure if I'm pregnant why it wouldn't show on the tests and if I'm not where AF has gone. This is the most recent test.View attachment 1313223

I’ve said lots and lots on this thread before that I didn’t get a BFP until 5 days after my period was due You aren’t out til it arrives xxxx

 

[Heyguysswipeup]

Cd1.. I am in agony and feeling very sorry for myself.. my husband has just gone to the shops to get some chocolate for me lol. 6 days until our fertility appt

 

[Gossipgirl79]

I’m seriously considering taking a ttc rest until we get seen at the recurrent miscarriage clinic. Been told not to try again anyway until after my next proper period (that would be June, so try in July) thinking might be a good break to have two months with no tracking, testing etc.

 

[Gossipgirl79]

I know they are pricey ladies, but I can highly recommend the Procieve max satchets…no idea if that’s what helped, but was all we did differently last month. Those and I cut down on caffeine.

 

[jemma2223]

AF due Wednesday/Thursday.. going to take a test on Tuesday/Wednesday as I’m going to a gig on Wednesday night so want to make sure if I need to be careful or not. Not holding out much hope tbh

BFN.. guess it’s time to wait for AF

 

[noseynopinions]

Thank you all for your words of support. Thank God for all of you, since I can't speak to anyone else about this. We are all on this journey together. Sending love to you all

I'm going to have a mega pint of wine now

 

[Bobbleowl90]

I’ve just got back from my scan which has confirmed a chemical pregnancy. The nurse told me to wait two weeks for a negative test then can’t try again until I’ve had a period. However, I know people who’ve conceived two weeks after a MC or CP, so why is it that they advise against it?

She also said I’m able to use progesterone pesseries next time to help make the pregnancy stick - has anyone here used these? She said there was no negatives, only benefits.

Thank you x

One of my best friends has just had some awful news. She had been trying for a while whilst navigating some fertility issues, and they fell pregnant recently which they over over the moon about. but they’ve since found out at 14 weeks that the baby has severe abnormalities and it’s likely they will have to make the most awful decision. How do I support her through this / what do I say, I feel so useless

Speaking from experience of this please just be there for your friend, talk about her precious baby and don’t forget about her baby. If she names the baby use the babies name and speak about it. Just try to be there for her and in any way you can. If she shuts off just keep reaching out to her.

 

[Nayalove96]

After worrying that I wasn't ovulating after my miscarriage I tested today 11DPO and got a BFP!
Feeling very anxious after losing the first pregnancy but trying to remind myself to relax & enjoy it

Congratulations! I’m 16dpos after losing my first pregnancy so we’re in this together xx

Fingers crossed for you all this week!

This is the month I turn 35 and I’m really looking forward to being called geriatric should have started earlier.

We’re down visiting my parents this weekend which is terrible timing for my fertility window. Couldn’t have sex in my parents house when I was younger, not going to start now I guess we’ll see what happens!

I often think I should've started earlier but I think it's easy to say that knowing what we know now. I'm also glad I didn't rush and potentially have a baby before I was ready
