[Mississippi03]

Going into my fourth month ttc, finding I get more upset every month when it doesnt happen.
Would love anyone on cd1 to join me in chatting lets wish eachother baby dust this month!!!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hiya, I'm cd2 today (haven't had the heart to change my ticker as af arrived early) but I'd love to join you.

I started ttc in October last year and got my bfp but had a mc in January, so this is my fourth cycle ttc post mc. I sink deeper into desperation every month I don't get a bfp. Every month more people announce their pregnancies, my pregnant friends get further ahead of me as their bumps grow and their babies are born and I get firer and further behind what I wanted and closer to my last edd. Yep I totally get that awful feeling every month.

So.... Lets make cycle four a lucky one!! Come on Mississippi...... Lets get our bfps this cycle!!!

 

[Missbx]

Hello please can I join I'm cd1 today after a 214 day cycle I'm on vitex this month so hoping I'm going to get a shorter cycle with early O.

I've been ttc my first for nearly 2 years in July and only had something like 6 cycles!

So far I think Vitex helped Af come x

Hope we all get a BFP soon!

I understand the struggle Mrs W i am going through the same thing with my best friend and sister in law who both just mistakenly got pregnant and everyday i have to hear them asking me if its happened yet. They dont understand that its just not that simple.

Missbx, hoping those cycles get sorted out soon. I have been off bc for three months now and i have been feeling like I have irregular cycles but i guess I dont have it near as bad as some.

My first was 23, second, 25, and this past was 27. Im actually happy that they are getting longer because I seem to O around day 15 and my luteal may not be long enough.

You can get a bbt thermometer cheap on eBay/amazon and fertility friend is free x

I have been using opks havent done temping yet. I have been trying not to be 'crazy' as my husband calls me lol

 

[Mississippi03]

Mrs W, just saw your post in the other thread. Im responding here so I do not forget to check back. Yes i will be your cycle buddy.
I too have short cycles 23,25,27 thus far. Start taking b6, they say it takes about a month to work. I started taking it this past cycle around cd21.. Cant say if thats what got me to 27 or not but im continuing to take it this cycle.
My dr did advise me not to take it long term but a couple of cycles wont hurt a bit. Im taking 100mg in the am with my pre natal vits. It gives me stupid amounts of energy throughout the day lol

 

[Mrs W 11]

I'm temping, that's how I know my luteul phase is too short.

Miss bx I'm taking vitex too xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hi Mississippi! Yes I've got 100 mg b but complex will start taking tomorrow! Hopefully that will help. Good to hear about the energy it gives you, I could do with some of that anyway!! X

 

[Missbx]

Miss bx I'm taking vitex too xx

Are you taking the pill form ? how long have you been on it ?

Are you planning to stop it when you have ovulated Or carry on till you get a bfp ? x

 

[starlight123]

Hi ladies,

Can a newbie join you?

I'm on CD 2 and this is going to be my first cycle ttc. I'm not going to chart or use OPKs. I'm just gonna see what happens this month, if nothing happens, I'll buy opk for next cycle.

Good luck to you all!

 

[Mississippi03]

Welcome starlight, of course you can join us! Good idea to wait a month to get into opks, i got into them on my third cycle and im easily obsessed now it almost made it worse for me when i knew everything was timed correctly and i still didnt get a bfp.

The b6 has been funny for me. I knew it would give me some energy, but i have a student working right now and she always laughs at me and tells me im manic.. And that all started with the b6. Make sure you take it in the am, otherwise it might cause an inability to sleep at night.

I think this thread is made for me! CD1 was April 6th (I'm in NZ so on CD2 now) and we are also TTC no. 1 and this will be our fourth cycle!

I am DESPERATE to be pregnant and have recently found out (6 days ago) that my best friend is pregnant. I had a major meltdown as she was NTNP and got pregnant first pop. I haven't talked to her since then and just don't think I can for a while. We haven't been trying long but I waited four years to TTC.

I am doing acupuncture for fertility and to sorta regulate my cycles: this month was 30, last 28, then 26, then 31 and can be up to 36. It's frustrating as all hell! You think you're pregnant, in with a chance, but then AF rears her ugly ugly head! I'm over it.

I am also starting yoga to try to centre myself and de-stress some. I'm a worrier by nature but trying really hard not to be.

In saying that, we've booked an appt with a fertility specialist for next month (fingers crossed we don't need it!!!) due to my cycle length and that sorta thing.

All the best for our BFPs this cycle - I think I'll go more round the twist if it's this shitty AF again instead of two lines.

 

[tuesdaysbaby]

I should add I'm temping this cycle for the first time at my acupuncturists request to see what's going on with my cycle but no OPKs. I tried them for month 1 and 2 and they got me obsessive.

 

[Mississippi03]

Hi tuesdaysbaby, were in the same boat cd2 fourth month ttc.
Although im in canada, so we will connect opposite sides of the day
I am using opks and decided this month to start temping, which i assume will make me even more obsessive.
My sis in law is mistakenly pregnant to, its hard because im happy for them but at the same time lmost hate them. Its hard to seperate the feelings.
You are lucky you cam see a specialist. Where i am you cant until ttc for 12 months

 

[starlight123]

I've been off bc for two cycles, this will be my third coming up. It's so exciting!

Does anyone want time to pass quickly all the time? I've felt like this for ages, all I seem to do is count down. I should just enjoy every moment off the process but I just want to see advances and FAST!

 

[Mississippi03]

My hardest wait is after ovulation to af, it kills me

 

[tuesdaysbaby]

Don't worry - I've got the same feelings, right deep down somewhere I think I am happy for them, but I'm not sure as at the moment the feelings of jealousy and rage (yes, rage that it's not us) are all too raw.

I find that wait the worst, post OV to AF, every day you are hoping and praying and then the hideousness that is AF.

We are lucky, but we have to pay for it! I decided not to wait. I don't do waiting ordinarily and I would like to know if there is anything we can do at this early stage.

 

[Mississippi03]

I am sure there are likely services we could access and pay for if i get to that point of being tired of waiting. I havent gotten there quite yet. Then again as each month passes i get a bit more upset with the process.

After everything i have been through in life, i am a firm believer that things happen for a reason and when they are suppose to happen. But i also suck and get far to anxious when i do not have control over a situation.

Hopefully this is a positive month for all of us

Just found preseed at the drug store, have any of you used it? Thoughts? Figured it couldnt hurt to try
