Hi girls, I am still here too and wishing you lots of luck.

AFM, I will be 8 weeks tomorrow. I had to cancel my OB appt. next week though because my MIL passed away a few days ago and we will be traveling by train to Chicago for her funeral. We'll be gone for a week (4 days of that week will be spent on a train). We got a little roomette but I am nervous as sometimes I feel fine and other times I feel really ill at this point. It's really unpredictable. And we are staying at a friend's apartment once we get there so I am not going to be comfortable at all. I have to be there for my husband though. Wish me luck.

Aww, Tink, I'm so sorry to hear that. Lots of to you and your dh. The train and accommodation situation sound difficult - I'll be thinking of you and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you don't feel too ill. xxx

Hi girls! Not much news from me. I think I'm about 6dpo. No interesting symptoms to report, but for some reason this tww is feeling way more frustrating for me than the few previous ones - not sure why, but I guess I secretly want a Christmas bfp but don't really think I'll be getting one

Anyway, I hope everyone else is doing better than me! Any updates? xx

 

[panda fan]

UGH!! got AF at 9 or 10dpo (according to OPK) . . . shortest LP yet!!!
so frustrating and I had light spotting 2 days before it. Was at work and wanted to call hubby and cry.

Tonight I read through a thread on baby expert about people with the same problem, some of whom still got pregnant which made me feel a little better but it's so confusing.

Tink, very sorry about your MIL.

Trolley hope your appt goes well and you should def relax over Christmas because at least you know you have the ball rolling now on getting everything checked. I can't decide whether to call the doctor now or wait until after the holidays.

P.S. Good luck Fruitful! I understand about wanting the Christmas surprise! I will send happy thoughts your way (and to everyone here)!

Feeling the same. I really want this to be a BFP. Thinking I may take a break this next month is AF comes to visit...so I can

 

[Fruitful]

Panda fan, I'm so sorry af arrived - it's always so hard I know you must be feeling sad, but it's now a brand new month and a brand new chance, and maybe there'll be a little bit of Christmas magic in the air this time round!
I get the same spotting thing (started about a year ago, never had it before that) - my gynae couldn't see any reason for it on the ultrasound she did, but I still wonder about it. I think it can't hurt mentioning it to your doctor. Remind me how long you've been ttc?

Babybemine, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted!

Trolley, how are you doing? Sending lots of good vibes and nice thoughts your way!

[babybemine]

Still in the running. No AF for me but getting faint abd pain which makes me think that AF is coming. Been POAS OPK style and so far no positive.

 

[panda fan]

Thank you, Fruitful. I am feeling sadder this month than I have been but trying to get my hope back.

The spotting is strange. Never had it either til this time going off bc (even though I have gone off bc before just to give my body a break). I thought maybe it was going off the bc that my body was just adjusting but then after several months of it I asked my gyno and she said it wasn't anything to worry about. She did an ultrasound anyway just to check and everything was normal. Spotting stopped for two months over the summer and period was normal so I thought things were finally balancing out. But then August until now my period has been more irregular (between 21 and 30 days) despite OPKs having the same surge (day 13) every month.

I have been trying 11 months now. The first few were very casual then started just making sure to bd around the middle of my cycle. Then started OPKS. This is my 5th month using OPKs.

I called my doctor and they said they'd call me back with an appt to come in. That was yesterday and still got no call back so I have to call again tomorrow. So frustrating.

babybemine, when is your AF due? sorry no BFP yet, but at least no AF yet either

 

[Fruitful]

Aww, panda fan, I'm sorry you feel sad . I think we all need to allow ourselves to feel sad from time to time. For me, it's certainly been proving to be a much longer and harder journey than I expected. This is my 10th month, so I know how you feel. It will happen for you, though, and for me, and for all of us. It's probably just going to take us a little more time and effort than it does for all those lucky young whippersnappers out there I hope you're feeling a bit better today, but don't hesitate to vent if you need to! I hope you manage to get the appointment date out of them. It's good to know that there'll be some help coming soon!

Babybemine, any updates? Sorry to hear about negative OPK poas, but no af is good. Keep us posted! Is your appointment tomorrow?

Trolley Dolly, where have you gone? Come back!!

Tink, I'm thinking of you and your dh.

Hello and good vibes to everyone else!

I think I'm about 10dpo - af's due around this time next week. I've been getting a fair amount of cramping, but nothing I haven't had before, and no other symptoms, so I'm not feeling too optimistic, but fingers crossed anyway. I'm getting my iron and thyroid retested next week, so if my thyroid results are still looking a bit off, I might phone my gynae and ask whether she thinks it might be a contributing factor.

Hi ladies hows everyone....well im on day 22 not sure if i have ovulated this month as once again the clear blue fertility monitor has only went to high and u should have a peak,i mite have to start temping but think i mite start that after xmas.So now im just waiting for the witch to show up and actually this month i really want her too so i can book in my hsg and i wanna defo get it done before xmas otherwise im gonna have to wait till next month....im just feeling like af is due atm.

Ladies i know it gets u down month after month but we r all here for each other to get us through these down times...ive been trying 14 months now too...but i also think going to your doctor and being a bit pushy helps too so u can get the ball rolling with stuff...

Im kinda thinkin it would be lovely to be pregnant before xmas but im also thinking if not then at least i can have a good drink and relax....so either way i will be happy...

Hows everyone one else?xx

 

[babybemine]

Af was due 5 days ago. Cycles not regular, but the last 4 have been around 27 days. Yes, my appt is tomorrow with the fertility doctor. Broke down and took another pregnancy test yesterday morning. Still a BFN.
I guess if AF does not show today or tomorrow morning we will know for sure at the doctors. FX guys. I need all the babydust you guys have.

Fxd for u big time.....i got my lights back...lets get in the cristmas spirit ladies x

 

[panda fan]

Thank you so much for your support. Glad to have this forum to not feel alone.

Excited for you guys. Babybemine, I hope your test goes well. 5 days late is pretty exciting. Lots of stories of BFPs taking a while to show up.

My doctor finally called back this morning. Going in Jan 8. I am going to try to just relax until then and enjoy the Christmas mood (like Trolley said!)

At least with my short cycle this time, I actually have one more chance to test around Christmas and still be within the early response time. AF is done so I'm starting OPKs tomorrow in case I ov early.

Trolley, I think I may start doing temps after Christmas, too. Maybe that will give us more insight.

 

[babybemine]

AF got me. No crying here, but I am disappointed. I was hoping that this month could be it.
Appt in the morning. The doctor is going to have the answers and push us toward the right directions. Hoping he can figure out what this pain in my groin is, and why we have not been able to conceive in 8 years.

to you, babybemine. Getting AF is always rubbish, and it must feel especially hard for you today. But, as you say, today's also the day you're going to start getting some help and seeing someone who'll have some answers, so that's incredibly positive. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that your appointment goes well (am sure it will!) - let us know how it goes. xxx

[babybemine]

I want a white Christmas....if we run out we can always go red. Wine it is.

 

[panda fan]

sorry to hear you got AF babybemine. having an appt scheduled already is probably a little bit of a relief. hope you get some answers soon.

def red wine!! nice and cozy in the winter and yes, white christmas would be nice.
