December Testers... 6 BFPs

[Kaiecee]

Is anyone trying Preseed??
We used it when we conceived my son, I was hoping to hold off but I'm thinking of giving it a try again.

Been using it the last 3 months hoping it brings me luck this month.

 

[Babydust28]

Hi, ladies. Busy weekend and week so far, but update: BFN this cycle . AF showed up right on time this Sunday. If I ovulate as expected, which I usually do, I should be testing on December 30 (CD 27 ) again though. Here's to a lucky second month TTC!

Praying for a new years BFP !

Sorry I never updated. Was a BFN for me. But if ovulation stays on track i will probably be testing Dec 31 again.

So sorry you both got af
I've updated your new test days.... let's pray for them beautiful bfps

 

[Babydust28]

Well ladies I caved and tested this morning using a cheapie and it was bfn
Feeling totally negative and fed up, feel like this will never happen for us.
AF is due Saturday, I definitely won't test now until midweek next week if she doesn't rear her ugly head.

Can't cope with this heartbreak every month!!

 

[Hopeful.89]

Kaiecee I hope it works for you!!

Babydust28 I'm so sorry, maybe it was too early! I hope that it was too early and that you get a BFP and AF decides to take a nice long holiday!!

If we don't conceive this cycle I am returning to my doctor to have my thyroid retested. Hoping that if that's what is preventing us from conceiving we can get it under control and it will help us with a pregnancy in the new year!

I hoping the same! Just don't think it's gonna happen that way though, just feel I'm always out of luck.
I have quite small bbs, B cup... I'm not usually overly aware of them tbh with them being small but they're feeling bigger and I feel every movement.... just makes me think I am but urghh I'm fed up.

How long have you been ttc for then?
Have you had any fertility tests ? X

 

[Hopeful.89]

This time around we have only been trying since sept.

With our son we had unexplained infertility for 15 cycles.
We were tracking by temps and OPK's for 6 months, before we conceived.
End of March I had my thyroid tested it was at 3.5 (normal range) then did a ton of research and asked to go on a low dose of synthroid to boost it because ideal fertility range is between .5-2. After 3 weeks on synthroid I got retested and it was down to 1.5 and I got pregnant that cycle! After a year and a half of unexplained fertility. I truly believe that is what helped us.
We had initial tests sperm analysis, and a ton of bloodwork for me. We had been referred to a specialist and we're waiting for our appointment when we got pregnant. - where I'm from doctors won't refer you to a specialist unless you have been trying for at least a year.

It's very heartbreaking I know it can wear u out but at least we have this site I really hope to get my bfp soon or I might just give up

 

[meg_bellamy]

So sorry Babydust but you are still early. I know it's incredibly disheartening when you see so many others getting bfps before AF is due

I am CD8 on Saturday and will start BD from then every other day til CD16. Ha! If I can cope with that. DH will be pleased!

If we don't conceive this cycle I'm going to get the clearblue digital ovulatin thingo for next month. This is hard work!

 

[MKaykes]

Sorry for the BFNs I'll be stalking the rest of the month hoping to see some good news! I won't be testing again until January.

Babydust - I know the heartbreak is terrible! Even when I expect it, the reality just devastates me and it feels so unfair. I know we all get sad at all the people around us getting pregnant, but this site helps realize that we are not alone. I also know a handful of people who dealt with months to years of trying, but no one seems to want to talk about it. Of those people, one now has 2 LOs, another pregnant with her 2nd, and one just had twins after IVF another one has been trying for #2 for over a year after 3 years for #1, so they give me hope that my time will come!

I think I just got my BFP...

Amazing news! Congratulations xx

I have heard so many people say that when they started seeking fertility help they fell pregnant and even my gp told me this could well happen for me, purely because the stress levels go down because you know you're in the right hands getting help.
Unfortunately it didn't work that way for me but that's because then we found I have pcos which is clearly why we are struggling.
So pleased it all worked out for you though and you got your bundle of joy. Now time to give your LO a brother or sister

I am totally thankful for this site and all you lovely ladies.
I'm such a closed book in person so never open up, me and partner do talk about it all of course but I'm careful how upset I get around him because I don't want him to feel bad or him to start getting too stressed, he's quite good and laid back and believe that's we just hammer away at the clomid and plenty bd and our sticky bean will arrive... I'm just not so positive.
You're so right, I was prepared for bfn but then it was a totally different story when I seen it because you do just hold that bit of hope deep down and then it's all shattered.
I love hearing positive stories like that it shows that it's not impossible just bloody difficult and long...

I have PCOS, we've been trying for 4 years because i was determined not to get help until we absolutely needed it. I have conceived now 4 times, one was twins. I'm excited but nervous in case we have another miscarriage but I'm hopeful. I know its horrible, but i'm sure you will get your sticky bean! It will happen eventually, can you believe that we werent trying this month, we only had sex once! it just so happened it was good timing, no OPKS all i did was temp just because I like to know how often I'm ovulating (about 1 in 4 cycles) then when i realised how good our timing was (without stressing about TTC) I started looking a bit more closely hence I joined this testing group!
