We're all in this togetherNew around heregot a six year old daughter, had one miscarriage before her and have hideous anxiety around that and in general so I'm very private/cautious about this stuff in real life, but saw this thread existed and who the hell wants to go through the two week wait alone. Anyway, first cycle ttc number 2! It's happened quickly in the past but I'm getting older now so we'll see
Really hoping it’s not AF preparing to show early. I honestly can’t remember if this is how I felt with my first pregnancy as he was a happy accident nearly 8 years ago
We will get thereWishful thinking really! My luteal phase was only 10 days which isn’t long enough neitherI was hopeful everything would be ok but obviously not! I hate pcos
we conceived in 12 cycles. We were doing similar to sperm meets egg. I ovulated a few days different every cycle. But we would do every other day from cd 12. Then when I got a peak opk we would do that day and 2 days after. The month we conceived we did that peak day and 3 days after.Thanks for giving me hope! Ovulated today (most likely based on bbt, fertility monitor etc) cd 17 first cycle on clomid. It is still later than i thought but 2/3 days earlier than usual. Fingers crossed luteal phase will be decent rather than the usual 6-8 max daysWent for an aggressive strategy with the hubby having sex every day for 5 days until today, he is rather exhausted haha. Have been obsessing a bit about the morphology thing but stories like yours keep me a bit more positive. How long did it take you to conceive your baby?
9DPO today and it feels like forever. I have to wait until at least Sunday or Monday to testGod the tww is awful isn't it! I only have 1 week to go now, bought some cheap hpt to save some money as even tho I tell myself I'm going to wait for AF I never do
I’m feeling the same as you! In December I put a lot of pressure on us, I was ill with tonsillitis while I was ovulating but we carried on trying anyway (at my insistence). So feeling rough and then heaping so much pressure on myself wasn’t fun or a good decision in hindsight. I was also really hoping to fall before Christmas and was so disappointed when I didn’t.
So sorry to hear that. That’s such a hard thing to go through, I feel like it doesn’t get spoken about or acknowledged enough either. Like you said the after effects can be so traumatic. Have you spoken to anyone about how you’re feeling?
we conceived with 1% morphology. 28% motility and 39 mil total countCongratulations!
I am on my first cycle of Clomid this month for weak ovulation/short luteal phase (6 days usually
I want to be positive it will work but now the other issue we have is that my husband has apparently low morphology(1.5%). He was due to repeat the test but they are no longer taking appts because of covid.
Has anyone had any luck with low morphology? The evidence I could find online is very controversial. A few places say we would need to go straight to ICSIthe joys of dr google sometimes!
Hope we all get our bfp in the end, who would have ever imagined it would be so tough (well certainly not me!)
Ovulation Predictor Kit! Haha don’t worry I was the same, I’ve only picked all the abbreviations up from hours of scrolling through forumsWhat are OPK’s? Still trying to get used to all the abbreviations
Boo!I’ve used one step but from eBay. I had 1 dark line and then they went back to faint but it correlated with my temps too.
I’m exactly same had peak on Monday! I feel like these next 2 weeks are going to feel like 10 because of lockdown! Good luckAccording to my app, I’ve had my peak and should have ovulated yesterday. My levels are back down now, so now it’s just a waiting game to see if this month is the one... a long two weeks to go!
yes this time of year is not the best to start a diet! That’s a great idea about the Fitbit. I’ve also thought about starting the Couch 2 5k app which I’ve heard good things about!Oh nice and insensitive!
This is the worst time of year for trying to lose weight anyway. Once January hits you might feel a bit more motivated... not sure if this is a helpful suggestion but I got a Fitbit during the first lockdown to encourage me to be a bit more active. It really did work, I was going on walks and making sure I hit my 10,000 steps a day and then started to use it for logging other work outs too. Along with cutting down on snacking/eating a bit healthier, I did notice a difference and it didn’t feel like I was doing anything too radical (I hate diets and exercise normally
Aside from that, don’t feel like you’re being doom and gloom - it’s definitely a relief to say how you really feel on this thread!
Oh nice and insensitive!I’m really struggling at the moment. I know I’ve got to lose weight to help with the PCOS symptoms but that mindset sets off my binge eating which I got from years of yo-yo dieting! It’s a vicious circle and just makes me feel so low. Sorry to be doom and gloom, I know there’s people a lot worse off than me! It’s just nice to have somewhere to write down my feelings! Also didn’t help that my mum made the comment “this should be motivation for you. You’ll be letting *partners name* down too if you don’t lose weight this time”. Ouch
)
It’s like the pressure in the moment, this might be tmi but he says he worries that he won’t stay hard and then doesn’t
Haha, it means Aunt Flo (your period). It’s used on sites for moms / people trying conceive - like mumsnet.Sorry I’m still new to some of this, what does AF mean?
Good luck with your detox! Hope it works well, knowing where you are even roughly with cycles will definitely help
I'm so sorry you went through that. Noone knows if a pregnancy will end in a healthy baby unfortunately, I guess we just weigh up if the chance of having a child outweighs the fear of another loss.
Yeah, or that you'd hear happy music after sex to let you know if it worked
Good luck!!Hey ladies, new to TTC. Have been using Ovia and fitbit app to track cycle for a few months. Had no idea about how crucial timing can be. AF was due on Tuesday. I have had cramps most days this week, constipation and some trapped wind. Might just be me being optimistic, but without my period happening, ive taken these to be possible symptoms. Have been googling 1-4 week pregnancy symotoms hehe. Testing this weekendso excited but also trying not to get my hopes up.
You're down but you're not out....i never had sore boobs till i was pregnant!I think I’m out this month already guys. I’ve had really really sore boobs for the last week which is very unusual for me so I was convinced I must be pregnant. Period is due tomorrow. My boobs stopped hurting yesterday and I feel so down and gutted about it..
its so disheartening isn’t it. I was comparing symptoms to last month and I was just so sure. Shows how every cycle can be different. Thank you, we can. Sending you lots of luck! Let’s hope this month is the month x x
