And now we wait.

[28329]

Thank you sarah. I'm not feeling it though. I have some description of hormonea going on but don't believe they're pregnancy hormones.

I hope for a pretty bfp for you. When are you testing?

 

[sarah2211]

That's how I'm feeling too

I'll probably start testing around 11DPO which is Wednesday. DH is away from Tuesday until Friday and he wants me to wait until he's home. I'm planning to just test. If it's a BFP I'll surprise him on Friday. If it's a BFN I'll just pretend I haven't tested. I've got low hopes.

 

[28329]

I'm already testing

 

[Mearly12]

8dpo, and bfn for me...

 

[28329]

Still early mearly

 

[eegor]

Jumping in. 10dpo. Feeling optimistic, but trying not to get my hopes up. Also trying not to give in and test yet... Why is POAS so addictive?! I keep telling myself I can't afford to buy tests yet to try to stop myself buying any!

 

[sarah2211]

Haha you guys are stronger than me. I'm sick of seeing BFN so I only test when I think it's safely going to be a BFP if I'm going to be pregnant.

I so just want this to be our month. It's been 12 months of TTC now. It's wearing me down. DH is starting to lose hope too. We've done all we can, BD'd lots, I got lots of EWCM, ate pineapple core, no alcohol or coffee etc. if this doesn't work I'm not sure what will.

 

[28329]

Eegor, welcome. Your chart looks great!

Sarah, when ttc my son we tried EVERYTHING but after a year trying we found out that we are trying with male factor issues. So we just started to enjoy each other. September that year we bd 2 days before ovulation and i went to the toilet straight ater to clean up and we got pregnant. I don't think it matters how hard we try. We just need that one determined swimmer.

Eegor, welcome. Your chart looks great!

Thanks for the Welcome And, I KNOW! But I'm tyring not to get my hopes up too much. It's my first month temping vaginally since I started temping again (4th cycle). My charts were erratic with oral temps... now I don't know if my chart looks so nice just because of how I'm temping!

sarah I can imagine it's hard after trying for 12 months. Before my tubal ligation I was so fertile that looking at a bed got me pregnant. So this 'odds against me' thing is really scary. I hope you get your BFP really soon

 

[28329]

I temp vaginally and my temps are all over the place. Yours are much prettier.

 

[eegor]

I temp vaginally and my temps are all over the place. Yours are much prettier.

Another change I made this cycle is setting my alarm for 4am every morning to temp. I've been doing it since CD1. I'm wondering if that has any effect also.. although early on in my cycle it's still a little rocky. I just don't know lol

I need to get off the computer. I feel like I'm becoming obsessed! I'll check in later

 

[28329]

Fingers crossed that your chart delivers. Im off to bed now. Far too late for me to be awake. I will be on in the morning with new test update.

 

[sarah2211]

28329,yeah I get that. SOME HOW people manage to get pregnant by accident. I don't ovulate very frequently on my own. This is my first cycle on Clomid that I've ovulated. We've tried not stressing, not tracking, just BDing when we feel it. Nothing happens. Im hopeful we will get there but it just feels like there's no rhyme or reason all of this. Let us know how you get on in the morning.

Eegor, thanks. It's just hit hard in the past month. Almost 90% of women my age are pregnant after a year of trying. Good luck to you.

I read on another thread that a women with PCOS had a progesterone CD 21 test result of 73. She released 3 eggs and got pregnant with twins. Mine was 66. Progesterone levels correlate with the number of eggs released. Most women I've seen have a result between 20-30. I wasnt monitored on Clomid so I don't know how many I actually had, but fingers crossed it was a few eggs released and just 1 (or 2!) are fertilized.

 

[Mearly12]

So I've been having a very strong dull ache in my right ovary for about 3 hours now. It's so bad that I thought I must have not ovulated when I thought I did, and that I must be ovulating now.

So when I went home I checked my Cm to see if it was fertile.

TMI my vagina is pretty dry slightly sticky typical tww, except when I swipe my cervix which is soft mushy, and high, there was small amount of thick clear mucus that stretches about an 2 inches. It's not like ewcm because it is thicker. Anyway when I looked at it I noticed it was clear with the tiniest amount of pink/brown blood. I mean this cm was like the size of a pea. So this blood was like microscopic.

I never had this with any of my other pregnancies, so I don't have a clue what's going on. Maybe a cyst burst, I thought of implantation, but why would my ovary hurt with that? Idk only time will tell.

Hi ladies , I see some have been testing early .... I try not to but I had 2 FRER from last month and tested today at 7/8 dpo . I took the test at night and I have horrible lighting in my house. I know this sounds stupid but I turned my flash light on in my phone and I swear I see something ... But I see something every month with the stupid FR test . I want to wait and test in a couple days but I'm sure I will test tomorrow bc I have no will power at all I spotted today with sex . It looked to be old blood . I did that last month too but it was pink . I'm hoping that was a good sign for me . Good luck guys . Between the all of us there's gotta be some BFP's

 

[28329]

Sarah, I'm so sorry you're feeling that way. You will have a little baby of your own one day, you really will. I wish i could give you a big hug.

Mearly, are you sure you ovulated? How many dpo are you?

Armywife, that's so exciting. I hope it gets darker!

 

[eegor]

I caved. BFN 10dpo.

Sarah I am guilty of being one of them people in my younger days. I really hope you get your dream.

[sarah2211]

Armywife, I really hope this is a BFP for you but just be careful getting your hopes up with FRERs they're well known to give you evaps. Every time I do a FRER I'm convinced I see something but it's just their indentation line. When it's got full colour, then I believe it.

Mearly, I think I said this already, but with PCOS, I'd be really careful assuming you O'd just based on OPKs. They're often unreliable for us, plus they don't actually confirm that you've released an egg. Have you had your progesterone levels tested after you think you've O'd. I know you've had a few MCs, but perhaps you're not ovulating every single cycle. I'm not meaning to doubt you or be horrible (and I'm sure there's more to your story) but after TTC for 5 years, it would probably be worth looking into things in much more detail and maybe getting some help.

28329, thanks. It's hard to keep my hopes up when every cycle just (eventually) ends the same. I'm glad I ovulated and have a chance but I'm just not convinced this is our cycle. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Eegor, thanks. I think if we hadn't fluffed around so long with the first specialist we saw who said I was ovulating despite having ovaries full of cysts/follicles and a low progesterone blood test late in my cycle, we might have made progress. Our first appointment with our second specialist I was put on provera and Clomid. Good luck to you.

I can see a second line though
