I know what you mean. We have been ttc number one for over a year and a half now and I only just got pregnant for the first time in December. It ended in a chemical. In that time I know plenty of people and friends that have gotten pregnant and given birth. I feel the same. While I’m happy for them it makes me sad too. I also worry about having future children. We want a bunch of kids but if they all take two years to conceive it will be hard to do.

Have you gone for medical help yet? After a year in Canada they will refer you to a fertility specialist.

Have to remind myself this......

Just wanted to drop by and see how everyone is doing! Dee, Suggerhoney and PinkCupcakes I’m wishing so hard for you and keeping everything crossed!

DS3 is 8 weeks now and I still can’t believe my luck after 2 years of trying! I’m already broody again but not sure I can go through the rollercoaster of TTC again. It takes longer for me each time.
I’ll still be here to cheer you all on though!

Lovely story Jellybean, congrats on your little bundle! So happy to hear a hopeful LTTC story xx

@Suggerhoney i really hope this is our month I know I haven’t been trying as long as u but I have been there in the passed, was 12 months of trying with my son, but also not using protection for years before and no accidents. I think I have got impatient quicker this time because each month it’s like I feel I am getting one month closer to it taking a long time again. Honestly all the people since Xmas who announced pregnant I am so so happy for. One was a uni friend and we both chatted so much about starting to try near to us finishing uni. She cud jst stop the pill with me I had to get my implant out so she did get a heads start as the pandemic prevent me getting it removed she told me she was pregnant at 5 weeks and jst announced to everyone else today that she is pregnant. 4 people at work as well. I am over the moon for everyone but deep down wish it was me. I dream about it and day dream lol. I try all sorts to relax and do things to take my mind off of it. What keeps me going is looking at everyone’s tests on here lol. Nearly bath time and little mans bed time here so that will keep me from looking at stuff. Me and hubby have cleaned house and done all the washing ready for the week today.

I love that you’re ready for the week! Honestly my week/days go so much better when the house is in some sort of order! I hope that you are getting that BFP soon xx

It is hard hon. I think when I got to 6 months of trying it just felt forever and now its 11 months and will be 12 next month it feels like its never going to happen.

I get so down every month when AF shows.
But having such a long LP I always know I'm out by the time I hit 10dpo and BFN and definitely by 12dpo.
With all the chemicals and my son I had BFPs at 10dpo so when I get a BFN at 10dpo I get so down then I have to wait ages for AF.
I normally start bleeding at 16 or 17dpo but last cycle was 19dpo.
I got so low I broke out in coldsores.
Still have some now but they are clearing.

I'm trying to keep my mind occupied this cycle.
I didn't temp because I didn't want to stress but then I get the blaring positive OPK on the evening on cd9 my heart sank.
All day cd10 I got blaring positives to then that pain late in evening.
My AF started in the night and was supper heavy which is unusual because it normoly starts light or medium then gets heavier.
Still not sure if I had a 5th chemical or not.
Or if my body ovulated early because AF was 3 days late last cycle.

I do get happy seeing BFPs on here to but I also feel sad because I want it to be me.

I'm gonna try and keep busy now and just hope the early ovulation doesn't mean I'm already out.

Keeping it all crossed for you to hon.
Ttc is so hard and such a emotional rollercoaster.

Thanks ladies. I definitely had light lines the 6th and 7th so chalking it up to another chemical.

Oh sweet
My chemicals in April and June looked just like ure tests unfortunately.
My other 2 chemicals my lines got darker and were clear to see esp the one I had in October my lines were so good at 10dpo and darker at 12 so I really thought it was going to be ok.
These was mine with my October loss.


But with the other chemicals my lines were much fainter but still there.

Enjoy ure drink hon and be kind to yourself.
Sending u really really big hugs .

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Rach87 so sorry AF hit. Glad your OH was supportive for you. -xxx-

@Suggerhoney Early O is often a good thing. i ve never heard it being bad. Heck think how much less waiting you have to do! YAY! I know it is hard but your BFP is just right around the corner, keep the positive vibes going.

@JessaBear36 Good luck hope it is your month for a sticky bean. We are TWW buddies this cycle Hopefully Bump

@Schweppes Those tests definately have something going on there. Good luck on your next test. Dont forget to keep us posted...Im going on Test withdrawal and need things to squint at!! (Although judging by some of your tests I wont be squinting at all but looking at a nice BFP Good luck)

@PinkCupcakes those symptoms sound promising! I ve got everything crossed for you. Sometimes women don't get a positive till late, @Rach87 is proof of that. Good luck!

AFM 2dpo and already needing to pee on something. AHAHA Goodness.
Who is testing soon?

Thank u hon it just seems tho everything im reading is saying ovulation under cd12 is to early and the egg isn't mature enough.
But there are a few things that say its normol to ovulate from cd10 to cd21 and even stories of womon saying they ovulated really early like even b4 day 10 and got pregnant with healthy babies so it's so hard to know what to think really.
I'm already fearing im already out this cycle and worrying if we have caught it will just end in another loss because of the egg not being mature.
But saying that I've had 2 losses with early ovulation and 2 with normal ovulation so I just don't know.

But thanks for the encouragement hon.
Hope i get the shock of my life and a blazing BFP I will be so so shocked. Because I'm like 90% sure im already out. B

Have to remind myself this......

Amen to that hon.
Its so true and also the saying

All the good things come to those who wait.

Fingers, toes, and everything crossed that we both get our blaring in the next week.
And no more losses.

Here's a truck load of supper sticky baby dust

Thank you and lovely to see you here Can't believe your son is 8 weeks old already! Take care and stay safe.

 

[PinkCupcakes]

@Reiko_ctu yes we will do a sperm analysis and then depending on the findings it’ll be IUI, they want to check my OHs little guys first.

 

[J_and_D]

1/2dpo today, I decided not to take my temp this morning. I am trying so hard to stay away from it. This month I used all my OPK and am not going to buy anymore. My cycle has almost gone back to normal now. If no BFP this month will jst try bd from cd14-cd19. I know I got my BFP with my son the month I checked nothing. Going to try not symptom spot but that’s the hard part. Only thing is if I conceive feb cycle wud be due near my birthday, we have a lot of birthdays from October and it’s our wedding anniversary too, I always wanted to avoid Oct but dnt want to miss a month of ttc. Sadly it’s a Sunday and we are in lockdown and nout better to do than cleaning the house lol. My son has blood draw tomorrow at the hospital which he never takes kindly to. We have had to get special permission to allow us both to take him as it takes two of us to help calm and hold him, he does go crazy about it. He has congenital hypothyroidism (tested in heel prick test). I also have it as well. Both of us diagnosed at 10/12 days old. He has been having bloods from 3 days old (due to me having it and my cousin). He is so scared, he doesn’t Know he is going yet.

This was me with my son as well.... I actually gave up completely and started looking into support and accepting never having a child. 6 months later I was pregnant. Was almost 2 yrs trying for him

 

[J_and_D]

@J_and_D hows it going today?

I totally forgot to test when I woke up lol I'll probably wait until tomorrow for fmu... especially since I have a short lp... I'm already testing early due to AF arriving at 10 dpo... I think fmu would be best?... I'm not actually sure lol

Sorry AF got ya but glad u now have an answer

 

[JessaBear36]

@Suggerhoney FX I hope we both get nice looking tests and healthy baby soon!! Keep your head up.

 

[Teafor2]

Have you gone for medical help yet? After a year in Canada they will refer you to a fertility specialist.

Yeah, in December 2019 I found out that I had a large septum that split my uterus and part of my cervix in half. I had surgery to remove it in July. They also found some endometriosis at that time, which they removed, but everything else looked great and my tubes were clear. When dh had his check everything came back fine.

We were officially able to start trying again in October this year, but waited until November when I felt like I was fully recovered.

Before my surgery it would have been very difficult for me to get pregnant and the expected live birth rate had I gotten pregnant was only 40%. They said that now I shouldn’t have any problems and my uterus is considered ‘normal’. I got pregnant in December, but it ended in a chemical. Hopefully just a fluke and I’ll be able to get my sticky baby soon.

They have suggested that if I’m not pregnant by April we do IVF because I’m ‘not getting any younger’ according to the specialist (I’m 31). I don’t know if we’ll go right for IVF in April if I don’t get pregnant before then or if we’ll want to try a bit more ourselves. I feel like we should be able to get pregnant without intervention now.

Oh you’re only 31, that’s crazy the specialist said that. You definitely have lots of time and I wouldn’t jump to IVF so quickly! GL and all the baby dust to you!!
