•••January 2021 tww & test thread•••

[Deethehippy]

I just want to make everyone aware that there is a very wide range of “normal.” I swear we can talk ourselves right into infertility and certain death if we focus too much on “issues.” For me personally I know my age is a factor and I might not get a rainbow. I would say most of the rest of you will achieve a pregnancy and have a healthy baby.
I have pcos, I had laser surgery on my cervix at 18. Ended up with scar tissue by 20. I didn’t ovulate or know my body at all. I went to a reproductive endo at 22 and they told me after all the testing I’d never get pregnant on my own. I didn’t leave my bed for 3 days. I took fertility meds for my fist. After my second I had a mc and went through more treatment, injections... testing with 2 more fertility drs. After that I paid attention to my body. I’ve taken herbs, done acupuncture, charted for years. Stood on my head, tried every position, begged dh lol. Nothing I wouldn’t have done to have my babies. My point is, anything is possible. Never give up on yourself. Even if you don’t fit everyone else’s mold.

Thank you

Most here use the thread for the whole month....chat before and during ovulation, tww and testing. I know its kinda all on the tww section but its been working really well with a lovely bunch of ladies supporting each other. These monthly groups have been the same since i joined 4years ago. Anything goes basically. Lots of helpful advice, different experiences and suggestions. Relax and welcome x

Right now I’m nearly at the end of my tww so I’m going to be waiting on ovulation later in the month (and then back in the tww towards the end)

11dpo (well, technically 12 since it’s after midnight.
My boobs are completely normal. Not like pregnancy, but also I don’t think they seem like my period is coming. Still, now I know breast pain is normal in the tww period and subsides before af.
My skin is pretty bad.
I’m feeling anxious too. Again, not sure why.
Mild heartburn but sure it’s diet related as I’ve had garlic and onion in the last few days.
And I’m still crazy hormonal.

Hey ladies! Was at the cottage completely off the grid for New Years so I’ve missed everything completely. I don’t want to single anyone out but did anyone’s squinter’s turn into bfps?

afm I am absolutely stoked, I managed to extend my LP by 2 days using 160 mg of vitex daily. I was expecting her NYE and didn’t show up till the 2nd. I’ve been 23/24/25 days for entire 2020 and this last one was 27 with a 13 day LP!! Good news for keeping a bean snug in my womb I think

 

[Rach87]

@Reiko_ctu sounds like a great weekend. And yay for extending your lp! Good start to a new year! Hope we get our sticky babies before our times up soon. I do have a squinter ic on page 13 if you need to get your fill from a pee stick free weekend.

@Rach87 FX the lines get darker. I never got evaps with the wondfo. And the frer were super thins lines with little hcg. Clinical guard are good too but think they pick up more once you are around 18 to 20 level.

 

[Reiko_ctu]

Ooh @Rach87 i can see your IC line... tomorrow it’ll be nice and clear I’m sure. Do you have a bunch? I would POAS in the evening as well as morning tomorrow!!

 

[Rach87]

Thanks @FTale!
@Reiko_ctu I have about 10 ic, 2 walmart cheapies, and 3 frers. Lol was planning on 1 ic a day until I have a solid non squinter and then just go nuts! Im sure I’ll get more too I wanted to test again this evening but I peed so many times today I couldnt get a good hold - hoping my incessant peeing the last 2-3 days is a good sign! Had a couple zaps of lightning crotch and sore outer hip muscle today too! Definitely not normal for me.

All sounds super promising!!

Hey guys.
So af is due tomorrow. I’ve continued to have af like cramps so are holding off to test. Felt a bit nauseous again after my coffee. Will be a little sad if i do finally conceive and get sick at the smell of coffee after hubby bought me a lovely coffee machine for Christmas but definitely a sacrifice I’d be happy to make. Hubby has picked up that I’ve been complaining about cramping but that af hasn’t arrived, I just don’t want to get his hopes up.
I’ll buy some more tests today and try and hold off until the morning.
Yesterday i went shopping with my mum and had to go to the toilet numerous times. Told her that I had drunk heaps of water before going out but she always suspects I’m pregnant. Fingers are still crossed.
Love to everyone who’s has arrived this month already. I know how you feel and I hope next cycle is the one

oooh sounds like good signs, let us know tomorrow!

 

[Kimmy1990]

Unfortunately I fell asleep for a nap and woke up with the
On to the next cycle.

Sorry about af @Kimmy1990

So I took a clear blue today and it was a definite negative. I guess I had a chemical and the hcg just stayed in my system during the first part of my period.

This is my first ‘pregnancy’ after 20 months of trying. It sucks that it ended this way, but at least I got a positive test. To the ladies that have had chemicals—when did you ovulate the next month? Normal time or did it delay ovulation for you?

 

[Deethehippy]

Teafor2 - I’m really sorry for the BFN. You can be super fertile after a chemical I think so much luck for the next few cycles.

Temp drop for me today..I think AF will be here tomorrow.

That’s what I’ve heard as well, so fingers crossed. I called my gynaecologist and I am supposed to go in this month just to double check all is okay. I’m waiting to see when they schedule me for.

I hope this is just a temperature fluctuation for you. When is af due?

Good luck with your appointment when you go.
My temps have steadily been heading down last few days and I’m now 15 DPO with cramps so know she is coming. I think FF says due tomorrow. I usually get a BFP by 10 DPO if I’m going to get one.

Sorry that your test was negative!
My cycle was wonky for two months after my chemical, but I was 5 weeks before I bled despite having already negative tests (my miscarriages have always been like this too)
October cycle - 35 days (chemical)
November cycle - 32 days (don’t think I ovulated and don’t think this was a true period as it only lasted a few days despite being heavy!)
Second November cycle - 10 days (this felt like my true period!)
December cycle - ovulated on cd14ish which is normal for me. Due period later this week and I feel like it’s back on track now.

Sorry @Kimmy1990 and @Teafor2 Hugs

Hope your temp drop isn't af @Deethehippy
