33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

Citrus, I can't say mine are worse but I do have endo so I feel your pain. Definitely go see your gp, they may be able to help.

Cupcake, I swear I see something on the bottom left test.

Kim thanks, most of it has settled down except the headache and the hunger. Tmi, I've been having really snotty cm for a few days which has now changed to milky. As I say I'm only about 6dpo so trying not to read too much into it. Can't wait to see your test

Ladders I'm sorry your feeling down. I have everything crossed for you this cycle.

Did I miss anyone? Sorry if I did.
 
Just realised I missed Jessy, I don't know if it's my phone or I have line eye but something is catching my eye on your test.
 
I cant see anything at all. I even tried to tweak it but nothing. I know its early but slightly disheartening non the less.

How is everyone today? Where are you cycle wise Anni?
 
I think 6dpo, if I've been following correctly you're only a day or so ahead of me aren't you?
 
Yeah thinking i am 8dpo today. I have no idea really because its my first month bc and i estimated ovulation aswell haha. All in all i am winging it this month.

Will you test as early at 8dpo or leave it a bit longer.
 
Yeh Kim we like novels in this group! Just shows you are reading carefully and replying to everyone so don't apologise!

How long did it take everyone to conceive number 1? We were really lucky and caught on month 2 so now I'm worrying we won't be so lucky this time! I think I will be really hacked off if not pregnant this month as I feel it shouldn't take longer than the first which is of course nonsense as every pregnancy is different! CD 3 is rubbish, isn't it ladders!!! I think it's the emotional switch between 'I might be pregnant' to 'I'm not and I might not be for months!' Really hard.

Lucky that you o on day 11 though, I have to wait until day 19 or somewhere around there!! Snoooze.

Kim did you test today? Sorry about the bfn jessy :-(
 
Thanks anni. Endo must be tough, I was a bit worried about that but think it's unlikely as periods are regular and not very heavy. I don't know, I'll get it checked.
 
We got pregnant cycle 2 first time. I think i came off my pill in the October and i was pregnant in December. I know i was about 6 weeks by Christmas. I was fretting it would takes ages and it didnt and now i am starting to feel the same this time.

Thats part of the reason my OH thinks its unlikely i would get pregnant this cycle as it was our first month ttc.

Citrus where are you now in your cycle? I am losing track of everyones cd!
 
Sorry, it was me who said we should pop it at the bottom of every post to help keep track but forgot!

CD2 here - ruuubbbbbish!! I hate the CDs where I am definitely not pregnant and can't do anything about it either!
 
Hopfl4 I think you can get MeLuna in the US. It's Germany based I think, but I'm sure I have seen YouTube reviews from those in the US on them too.

JessyG don't give up hope, especially since you can't be certain where in your cycle you are! You may see a bfp soon, fingers crossed :)

I hope everyone else is ok! I'm sorry I did read all replies but I don't remember everything, scatterbrained.

Tested with fmu, don't see anything on the FRER and the IC has the same faint line so have to assume they aren't genuine lines. My chart is all over the place which is unusual for me, I have started taking vitamin D3 and B complex so I don't know if this could have done it.
Top is fmu the other smu, fourth and fifth tweaked

Jessy I'm sorry that you can't see anything yet on test, still early though so your definitely not out but I know how rubbish it is to resist testing and then test and see a bfn


Annio when are you planning on testing ? How do you feel you did this cycle?


Citrus it took us 9 months (10 cycles) to get pregnant the first time and then mc but got pregnant straight after so all together 10 months and I really really don't want it to take that long again and that's partly why I'm feeling a bit bummed today.*


Cupcake I see something on the second test in the first picture!
 
The most annoying thing is it gave my OH ammo to say, told you it wouldnt happen this month. 👊

Oh no ladders i really hope it happens a lot quicker this time.

Cupcake how annoying that there is a line on the ic and not the frer. Is one more sensitive than the other?
 
Hi ladies,

Jessy, it's so early, a bfn at 8dpo means nothing.

Cupcake, how frustrating for you. When is AF due?

We conceived DD on the 4th cycle of trying and the second time took 3 months and we were really not trying that hard. Now I'm a woman possessed!

I will probably test on tuesday or wednesday. Probably tuesday because I'm going to wales for a couple of days without DH on the wednesday. I'm feeling pretty confident this month actually but I'm trying to talk myself down a bit because I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

Kim did you test today?

Hope everyone's had a lovely sunday.
 
10 dpo today and bfn from what I can see. I haven't really had a chance to read everything yet just glanced through real quick. I'll go back and read and reply

Sorry it's not a bfp Kim. You're not out until the :witch: gets you though.
 
Sorry no bfps yet, but there's still time for you to get your bfps Jessy & Kim. Fingers crossed for you too this week annio!

First time round we conceived on cycle 3, and at that we knew cycle 1 was definitely not going to happen as we hardly had chance to dtd that month. It feels as though that's putting pressure on for it to not take longer this time.

We've been chatting over the weekend and thinking of just taking it easy this month. We go on holiday in May, so we'll have plenty of time to dtd then and enjoy the holiday without potentially being at a point where morning sickness is setting in. Plus I can then indulge in some cocktails while away!

I say that now though, let's see how I feel when it gets to that week!

I think we'll still try, but just when we want to have sex rather than in order to try and get a baby cooking.
 
Ladders this is what I was wondering myself, wasn't sure.

Jessy, the ICs are meant to be 10miu, FRER is 12.5miu so marginally more sensitive, although many don't seem to see any obvious lines on ICs until after a better test shows a line. Some do, some don't so everyone is different. You find many are dented and scratched too which doesn't help!

Anni af is due Thursday or Friday, I'm 10dpo today

Hopfl4, I don't think I see anything on today's :( but I am sure there's something on the other test above it! Keep testing :)

Daisies, there's much to be said about taking the more relaxed approach. If I had a quid for every lady I heard say they got their lucky month when they decided to simply relax, I would be rich
 
We must have a big time zone difference between all of you and me 😂 I posted my tests at about 10:30 am here but I actually got on when I got up to cook dh breakfast and lunch before he left for work this morning at 4am and there were already a few replies but I couldn't read them all and had to finish cooking his breakfast. I've been super busy today with the boys. All 3 are out of school for the week for spring break. Dd is gone camping with my parents and sister with all the granddaughters so I had to find something to entertain the boys with while dh was at work today.

Ladders, I'm sorry you're feeling bummed today. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. I hope it doesn't take very long this time for you to conceive. I have a feeling everyone here will pass me up with the bfps so I know the feeling you're talking about.

Jessy, when I zoomed in on my phone I think I can see a line there too. But if not, 8dpo is still very early so still plenty of time for that bfp! Maybe your OH is just trying to protect your feelings and that's why he's saying that? Doesn't make it any better but it could just be his way of protecting you?

Anni, I like the woman possessed comment lol! If you're confident this month then I really really hope you get your bfp on Tuesday. I actually can't wait to see your tests now! I also had the snotty cm you mentioned then it went to creamy for a day. Creamy mixed with ewcm for a day and now today back to snotty and stringy. Hopefully this will be a good thing for us!

Citrus, have you ever been tested for any kind of endo or pcos? I don't think that's what caused the pain just curious. The first month dh and I started ttc this time my first af was painful now that I think about it. I hate the cds too and the waiting to O and then the 2-3ww too lol some cycles are better than others though. When I was 16 I had abnormal paps and had to go back for another one. On the second one I was told I had precancer cells and had to have a biopsy then the leap procedure. After that my gyno told me it would probably be impossible for me to get pregnant and if I did then I would most likely not carry to term. So, when dh and I started to become sexually active on new year's eve when I was 17 we never even used any form of protection and he never tried to stop either. (we were young and not very experienced or educated on pregnancy. We were just going by what the Dr told me a few month before) anyway 10 months later I noticed I was starving to death one day and ate everything in sight which I never did before. I hardly ever ate anything back then and was tiny. Well I got him to take me to Walmart and we bought 2 ept tests and tested at 10pm that night and it was positive! To say we were shocked and scared would have been an understatement lol! Well she was born when I was 18 and everyone told me I couldn't get pregnant while breastfeeding...... Well..... When she was 4 months old I go to the Dr for a check up and he comes in the room saying "congratulations, you're pregnant!" 😱😱😱😱 well ds1 was born 5 days before dd first birthday. I got the mirena iud after that but had problems with it a few years later and had it removed. Got on the pill and when we were 21 and 22 decided to try for another. I got pregnant the first month off of the pill and ds2 was born. I didn't take any birth control after that we just used the pull out method and it worked for the first 7 years. We decided we wanted to try for our last baby between the ages of 30-35. Well about 16 months ago we were pleasantly surprised with another pregnancy. We were devastated when we lost that baby 14 months ago. It took a while for dh to decide he was ready to try again after that because of how upset I was. But in November of last year we started trying again and that leads us to today 5 months later and still no bfp. I genuinely believed we would conceive on the first try but we haven't yet. I often tell dh that I wonder if maybe we waited too late to try again. I'm 32 now and he's 33. Sorry this reply was so long.

Happycupcake, I'll check out the MeLuna softcups and see if maybe that will help for next cycle. Honesty I'm so scatterbrained I have to write down lil notes and who it's from so I can reply haha. I'm sorry I don't know anything about charts so Im not much help there. When I zoomed in on the ic's I can see a line today! I also see the line on the 1st and 2nd pic of your frer. I think my ic's have indents too. I also would be rich if I had a dollar for every time someone told me to relax.

Daisies, good luck on waiting if that's what you want to do. I don't know if I would be able to do that though. Not to sound cliche (sp?) but maybe just maybe taking a more relaxed approach it'll happen. (lol! Happycupcake!)

I'm glad you ladies like novels because I talk wayyyy too much Hahaha!
 
Todays test. I thought i could see a shadowy line there but this test is pretty old so dont know if its still ok to use. I have a few more tests so mightvdo it again with SMU and the attached one is with FMU.

Hope everyone is well today!

Kim - its 6:44am here if that helps. Snore my DD has no what sleep is!
