YAY! Congratulations!I gave in and tested early today as been feeling really off the last few days (12dpo, period 3 days away) and got this... honestly can’t believe it!Wishing everyone else luck and positive tests, this was our 3rd month of trying and although i know that’s not long to try I felt so disappointed the last 2 months!
It will probably be a while before I get mine but I will probably have it. My partner and I had covid in December and it wasn’t very a pleasant experience. So if getting the vaccine stops others from going through that then it’s the least I can do.
and I'll be fine. But I'd love some nice stories of those over a year that it happened for all of a sudden. 
I still feel too young at almost 33
I am sorry you are going through this too, it is so tough isn't it - but at least we have this virtual community that can make us feel less alone <3 WE CAN DO THISI literally could have written the first part of your post myself! It’s so hard at the moment with there being no distractions. I feel like I’m throwing my all in to trying for a baby so every month that it doesn’t happen is just such a let down. And yes, it is so isolating! One of my closest friends has just had a baby and I feel so torn because I want to be there for her and be excited and see all the photos ect but it’s also like a dagger in the heart
Thank you for updating me about what the doctor said. It’s so frustrating that they take that stance! How long have you been trying if you don’t mind me asking? I’m coming up for 9 months now and early on I’d hoped my Luteal phase would maybe sort itself out after 10 years of birth control but it hasn’t got any better! I hope your experience going private is positiveKeep me posted
particularly as once I realised I was not ovulating properly I knew it was never going to happen until when I got the prescription etc.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 days
Went 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?I also have PCOS and am taking Letrozole at the moment. I do recommend taking medication to ensure your cycles are regular. I started on Clomid (3 cycles), but we didn't find the right dosage (5*1pill was too much, 5*1/2 wasn't enough). With Letrozole (currently 2nd cycle) everything works better and dosage is fine. However, periods have become much more painful again... Ah well...
I feel you! I used to think I was blessed with perfect skin, turns out, that's was just the pillI look like a teenager during periods. Pimples have gone down now that I'm taking medication though.
On sex drive I can't help you unfortunately. I used to be a freaking bunny when my partner and I got together, but that kinda disappeared over time. I had high hopes when I stopped taking the pill, but it didn't come back at allIt's not that I don't enjoy it anymore (I really do), it's just difficult to get in the mood...
That said, we had sex for about 10 days straight this month, because I'm so sick of not getting pregnant, didn't want to take risks
Period is due around the 21st.
Really unsure. Had cramps and was nauseous the past two days (around 8 and 9 dpo). I'm also aware of my uterus, if that makes sense. Feeling better today. Hoping it was implantation. But my hair's getting greasier a bit faster, have a new, subtle pimple today. I honestly don't know.
Might do a test on Sunday. But I'm also scared to do so, because I've only had heartwrenching negatives
Sorry for rambling, had to get it off my chest...
If you take your temperature before you get up, literally keep a thermometer by your bed and do it as soon as you open your eyes, if you track if you will know by your temp when/if you ovulateI didn’t know this at all. Don’t know what to do then
Thank you. I’m used to the disappointment but for some reason I had a feeling that this maybe could be “my month”. It’s weird I’ve had none of my usual PMS symptoms but soon as I took the test the AF cramps etc all started.I’m sorry it’s devastating
When I do a pregnancy test whilst I’m waiting I dream about all the ways I can surprise my husband and then only one line appears. I can’t use clear blue pregnancy tests as I can’t deal with it telling me not pregnant. Is anyone else the same ?
.Yes completely natural. This is what everyone says BUT- we stopped trying. Gave up! However I’m now in baby no 2 and it’s driving me crazy. I can’t just relax and stop trying
It was my husband who actually suggested a baby to meBit off topic but did any of you have to bring up to your partners that you wanted to start TTC or were you all on the same page as them? My fiancé and I talk about kids a lot but when it comes to actually having the discussion of when we'd actually want to start TTC, he either makes a joke or brushes over it and nothing comes of it which frustrates me (it's maybe just a man thing idk)I don't want to seem pushy on the topic as I'm the one who has to keep raising the topic but I don't know how much longer I can keep holding off. Like most women we worry about how long it will take and having had issues with losing my period in the past due to illness it does concern me if there was any lasting effects because of that but you never know these things until you're TTC.
I think a lot of men think getting pregnant is as easy as they teach you at school, all you to do is have unprotected sex and you'll definitely get pregnant when it's not as simple and straightforward as that. So they don't see the need for forward planning with cycles, coming off BC, tracking ovulation etc.
I'm rambling but hoping someone gets me
. Although I don’t think he realised how hard it can be to conceive for some people. He conceived the first time with his ex!
Hello! Sorry I can’t offer any advice as never had anything similar. But maybe keep testing every day to see if lines get darker? Keeping everything crossed for you!Hi all can I join this thread? I don’t track my ovulation and my cycles can be anthing from 28-42 days (usually) this month I’m on cCD 55 and still nothing! I’ve tested, got silly thin line on a clear blue, a faint line (I think) on a 45 second first response and a positive on a cheapy BUT not pregnant on a digital and negative on a few others I’ve taken. Pregnancy support think I’m testing too early and have told me to wait until Tuesday! Am worried about chemical and miscarrying

I swear by premom!@Bobbleowl90 which ones are you using? I got mine off Amazon, they’re called Premom and come with an app. So you take a photo of the little strip and upload it to the app and it records your fertility levels/when your peak time to try will be. I use Ovia too but I think this one might be a bit more accurate, it’s put my ovulation date a few days before the Premom one has (which is the one I’m logging my tests on)
So tempted to get mine to do one now too
So sorry to hear that x
My levels fluctuate before CD19 when I had high levels all day (I test around 12pm and 4pm), but they were consistently low. On CD20 I had my peak at 12pm and it dropped to high at 4pm. But yeah, it was up and down in the low range before I reached my fertile window. Until you see the high and peak you are definitely wondering if something is wrong with you, but I've learnt that it's completely normal for it so fluctuate slightly before seeing that spike.Everything crossed for you
Another OPK question... are your LH levels supposed to increase as you get towards ovulation? Mine increased but seem to have dropped again. According to the chart, today is “high chance” to try, peak days are 11th and 12th and I’ll be ovulating on the 13th.
