@thencomesbebe oooh I def see that!!! That looks like the start of a bfp to me!

I’m going to join you all here.
10dpo today and still no symptoms and a stark white bfn.
Even did a opk and that was extremely faint.
There is a tiny chance I may be 9dpo but more likely 10dpo.
I just know I’m out so will join this group.
AF will be here at 17dpo then that will be cycle 14 ttc.
Tbh I’m on the verge of giving up.
I just can’t keep doing this month after month after month.
I will get my blood results on Tuesday to see if all my hormones are normal b4 and after ovulation.
But been told that even if they come back normal I may still go on to struggle to conceive and have more losses due to my age and my ovarian reserve.
If I have a very poor ovarian reserve due to age, then my eggs are not good enough to get a healthy pregnancy.
Feeling so so hopeless and heart broken.

Oh @Suggerhoney I'm so sorry you are feeling this way, TTC is such a struggle. It's normal to feel like giving up when things keep going south. Just know we are all here for you and want to hold space for you to feel whatever way you need to about this. Many virtual hugs. :hugs:

I'm so sorry, don't give up! I know it's hard month after month and I'm sure the losses make it harder yet. I do hope you get your sticky rainbow!
 
@Laurabub84 I haven't actually talked to a GP about it, I think because it's a fairly recent thing for me and I'm still breastfeeding, which I've read can do that, it hasn't in the past (I've conceived whilst bfing and usually get normal cycles back v. Quickly)- but then each time is different and hormone levels are different etc! I think the GP would likely say it's due to that. (Even if it actually wasn't!)
@Suggerhoney thank you ❤️❤️ (will those emojis come out!? They're hearts...) I know you've had a few losses and have been following along on your ttc journey....I'm of course hoping it's this month for you but I know you usually feel out by 10dpo so if that's the case, please let it be April for you!!
 
So I don't think this chart is helpful at all for me haha. I have very broken sleep and then it takes me a bit to even realize I'm awake. Once I realize I've only slept about 2 or 3 hours, I spend a while trying to fall asleep again only to realize it's not gonna happen.. so then I finally take my temp but I'm sure it's too late at that point. Still going to do it but I'm definitely not relying on the chart alone haha.

Haven't even ovulated yet but here's what I have so far. I really need to figure out how to sleep for longer stretches haha.

The waiting sucks doesn’t it. When do you usually ovulate? Some cycles I have to wait right up to cd22-25. It’s so long and drags so much

I honestly do not record the cd that I ovulate each month, I just track cm and guess by that. We haven't ttced since 2017 but I track my cycle by app and have pretty consistent 28-29 day cycles.
 
@thencomesbebe that looks like a clear bfp to me! I hope your next tests confirm if!

@Suggerhoney I'm sorry you have a bfn again 10dpo. I hope you get surprised with a BFP tomorrow, but if you truly aren't pregnant I hope your body doesn't make you wait a whole week for AFk.

thank you.
If I truly am out then I mite have to step away from here . It’s been nearly 14 cycles now ttc and nothing to show for it but 2 chemicals and a miscarriage.
I praying I get lines tomorrow but I don’t feel hopeful at all.
And absolutely no symptoms.
That just makes me feel hopeless.
With my healthy pregnancies I always have symptoms a few days b4 I get a BFP.
But with all 3 losses I had zero symptoms and every time I’ve not been pregnant I’ve had zero symptoms.
I just know deep down I’m out again.
Just can’t see me ever getting my sticky take home rainbow bfp:cry:

Thanks lovely.
I guess I’ll just see what these blood results are like on Tuesday and if they come back normal I will continue trying .
That BFN really does hit hard doesn’t it :cry:
I’m going to test again tomorrow just incase I am only 9dpo today.
Praying so much I have lines tomorrow but I’m so so scared it will be yet another bfn:nope:
Why does it have to be so so hard.

thanks hon.
I really hope I do get lines tomorrow but I couldn’t feel less pregnant even if I tried.
I just know I’m out now.
Unfortunately I have a very long luteal phase so I don’t start af until 17dpo.
:sad1:
 
Cd12 and ewcm has dried up now. I'm 1dpo today.

From after having a cp then what seems like no ovulation after because I got af at 3dpo last cycle. Really hope my body is back to normal and I actually ovulated.

Had right ovary pain cd9 , ewcm cds 8, 9, 10. Some bloating. Both bbs now sore.. we only got to dtd cd9 and cd10. Hope that's enough bding this time.
 
I see that! And knowing how amazingly hard it is to capture faint lines on those sticks on a camera, I'm betting it's quite a bit more obvious irl!
 
I'm getting my peak today-hooray! CD18
I never know whether to consider tomorrow 1dpo or the day after because o usually happens after the opk shows peak? Though for me, the ov pains (which are sharp and pretty painful for a good few hours/part of the day) happen on the day the opk is darkest. I don't know if that means it's that day. Either way, it's only the difference of a day so in reality and overall not going to be important, but it irritates me that I can't pinpoint it as I'm a prime obsessive
