Anyone in their 20's and ttc #1?

[TinyLynne]

It is generally about 12 days, I ovulate on 21 and have a 32-33 days cycle. But.... Since I ovulated on day 27 this month, I thought my cycle would be longer but it looks like it is still ending on the same day. I hope not, fingers crossed that somehow this is IB. After my mc in December I Oed on CD23, but my cycle was still just 32 or 33 days. It doesn't make sense because luteal phases should be the same regardless of ovulation, but for me it seems like the cycle length is the same instead.

Ohhh I see. Keep your hopes up. And it's great that you temp so you can see everything that is going on. Good luck! FX!

Finally i got blazing positive opk on CD 24.
Me and my oh BD yesterday, day before yesterday and have plan of BDancin' today. I hope this is my cycle. In previous cycles we never got to BD at the right time . Fx

Luteal phases are generally longer but varies person to person. In most cases after ovulation it takes abt 12-14 days. I hope this is your month. fx for you.

Thanks babyjourney. There was nothing there this morning when I woke up and peed. And my temp is still above the cover line, so hope is making its way back in!

This could be it! When this happened to me, I started taking cheap HPT every day. They all came up completely negative. Then on 12dpo, even after I took a cheap hpt that morning, I decided to use my 1 FRER that I had been saving. I just had a feeling. It came up with a very strong line and that was it! I think if I would've taken the FRER even 2 days sooner, I would've had some sort of faint line. So what I'm saying is, those cheap hpt's STINK!!! Good luck! fx

What's Vitex? Also, I tested opk last night and again I got the flashing smiley face. Then, this morning, I had a temp spike. I think I actually O'd within the last 2 days. That makes the most sense so far. I am trying the whole Pineapple thing to aid in implantation and we did try the softcups. I definitely think this might be our month. Hopefully I o'd twice this month and I will be having twins. FX. My opk didnt reach peak yet for these last 2 days, but the temp spike is letting me know that I did O. I am also having slight cramping where my ovaries are. Has anyone tried these methods yet? Any suggestions for improving my chances of getting pg this month with other types of methods?

 

[TinyLynne]

Fauchick I tried pineapple this month, but with my cycle being so messed up it might not have mattered, but it sure did taste delicious! Vitex is an herb that it supposed to regulate hormones, but I hear it can mess your cycle up if your hormones are already regular. At this point mine can't be, and it isn't hurting anything, it already been 8 months! I'll try anything!

I am desperately hoping to get pregnant this month. I am hoping the Clomid kicks up my chances. I am having a lot of O pains and just ready for this TWW to be over. We are still going to keep BD'ing, in hopes that maybe I will finally catch one or two . Hoping above all that I O'd twice this month so that I can have twins. My lofe would be complete then I am sorry that you have been trying for 8 months TinyLynne. It will happen. How long is your cycle normally?

 

[TinyLynne]

Fingers crossed for you! My cycles started around 31 days off of BC. Then went to about 33, last month was 35 (I always O on 21) and they have been getting longer because I started B6 after my mc in December to lengthen my luteal phase, and it worked. But this month I Oed on CD28, 21 is late at it is (technically I think anything after 21 is considered late) so I expect this one to be longer, though I spotted at 6dpo yesterday and feel like AF is on her way. So.... I don't know what is going on. But I'd like to see what Vitex can do for me.

I hope you ladies are able to *catch that eggy!* (lol it sounds like a game show) I too want twins!! I think it would be amazing. I want a boy and a girl at the same time.

So, if anyone is curious, my DH and I completed the "Sperm Check" sperm test this morning. It says that if you get a line (no matter how dark) in the test spot then the sperm count is at least 20 million. I checked after the 7 minutes- recommended- and the line was super faint, but at 10 minutes it was pretty dark. So I think we're good.

I'm 23 TTC #1 for three years, Married for five. I've never taken birth control and took clomid only 1 cycle. It's been a rough road. After a year and a half TTC had a lap to remove a large ovarian cyst and found out I have endometriosis and the think my left tube is blocked. To cut out a long story about failed clomid and being very unhappy with my Dr here's where I am now. We've temp losing our insurance and kinda got stuck. Once we get it again I'll be going to get my left ovary removed and most likely start back on Clomid. It's been hard but I have faith it'll work out the way it's meant to. Heads up ladies don't lose hope.

There could be a possibility that it was implantation bleeding. My sister-in-law had implantation bleeding, for like two days in a row. Turned out she was pregnant (the very first cycle she and oh had unprotective s*x)

 

[TinyLynne]

I didn't have it with my first pregnancy. I keep hoping that it what it is. Still just light spotting today, it's exciting that there is no flow yet, though it feels like AF. I guess the next couple of days will tell!!

 

[proudwifey]

Tinylynne. How many days ago did the bleeding start. If it is implantation bleeding, you should be able to use a Frer in about 2-3 days from the beginning of spotting.

I'am so sorry dear. I hope you get pregnant in coming months, and may it works out according to your plan.*Hugs*

ProudWifey, it has been 3-4 days. I'm 9dpo today. There was no spotting this morning, I did do an FRER but it looked pretty blank to me.

May be hcg is not high enough. Wait 2-3 days and test again. 9dpo is pretty early.
