Hi polly
I'm really close to you! I'm 7DPO right now, expecting AF on the 27th.
No point in testing now, it would be a BFN for sure!

 

[Lunabelle33]

I am 8 dpo, Worst for me is I dont have any tests, and I had to use the last bit of money I had to get my car fixed.

 

[pollydolly]

:wave:
wellsk - hello ! Im irregular but i know when i ovulated so worked out when my AF should come, my cycles seem to be going back to a little less irregular!
cannot wait to test!! good luck! xoxox

lunabelle33 - i use really cheap OPKs, got 25 for around 5 pounds on ebay, and i got 30 HPTs for even cheaper haha! Oooo 8dpo, not too long to test then! good luck hun xoxox

 

[wellsk]

Ahh no! That's a pain, but it's best not to test early as it's addictive, wastes money and most likely will lead to disappointment.

 

[wellsk]

Baby dust to you polly
Your LP should stay the same so it shouldn't be too bad to work out. How long have you been TTC?

 

[pollydolly]

well ive had a few issues, i came off BC in may last year, had no period, went in to hospital for emergency surgery to remove a dermoid cyst (nasty things!!)
they had NO IDEA why i hadnt had a period since i came off BC. I recovered well but still no period until november, which lasted one day, then i went on the pill ( yasmin) for 2 whole weeks LOL in which my OH said shall we start trying! so i came off it, had a withdrawal bleed 22-25december, then nothing until feb 1st, then nothing again until march 27!! so its been a rollercoaster (sorry for ranting!!) so i guess we officially started TTC in december! It never gets easier seeing BFN's but i have a good feeling about this month.. even though we only BD'd on friday twice, had my extremely positive OPK on sunday, so itll be a miracle if my 'pregnancy hunch' is right hehe!
sorry for the long post hun!
how long have you been ttc? xxxo

 

[wellsk]

Gosh! What a nightmare! It must be so frustrating knowing that you want to TTC but can't?! I'm glad you've managed to get past all your problems. Hopefully it won't take you too much longer!

I've been TTC for 16 cycles, which is around 17 months in total. We have male factor infertility, slightly decreased AMH levels and vaginismus. So we've kind've got everything stacked against us!
We're really just waiting to either be accepted as part of an ICSI trial, or to finally see a fertility specialist who will recommend IVF

Hi all.

Popping back here. I resisted the urge to test today. I am supposed to be 16 dpo but am going back to the idea that I did ovulate when I had another questionably positive OPK which would make me testing in 5 days. I just either want a BFP or for af to turn up. I'm quite impatient really!

I get mine off ebay too. 30 OPK's + 3 hpt's for 3.69(somehow cheaper than 30 OPK's at £4.59) and then I get 30 hpts for £2.50 which I think is really good.

I've seen a pushchair I like today though for future bub. Had to use all my willpower not to buy it!

 

[pollydolly]

wow! that sounds like a hell of a lot to go through! how old are you if you dont mind me asking?
i guess just keeping faith in that it will happen is the only way to think isnt it!? it gets so hard though, ive cried over it so much and my OH doesnt understand why i get so frustrated xx

what day are you planning to test then? ill be testing the 29th (if i can wait that long!

Men just don't really get it. Although surprisingly, quite a few people we know who aren't in the right positions to be parents have gotten pregnant lately. And DH has said that he's started to get angry at the injustice of it all. I'm grateful that he finally sees my point of view. Although I wish we could get pregnant and he didn't have to feel it!

Unfortunately it does turn you pretty bitter and envious. I just so frustrated, I want my chance, and it feels like it never will be. I feel like I get less upset though, it's like I've accepted that I'm going to always get AF and that's that!

I'm 22 by the way, how about you?

 

[pollydolly]

dont you think it seems so unfair that at a young age it still seems so difficult to fall pregnant?
im 20, and my OH is 19 (20 in june) we have lived together since christmas

he understands sometimes - like you say, he sees the injustice in the 'omg its such a surprise im pregnant' and these girls who get preg after a one night stand.

i know a girl who got pregnant just from being lazy and not using a condom, to go on to have an 'A' at 9 weeks, it angered me sooo much. it always seems the ones who dont want it seem to get it quickly, yet the sensible couples who want so bad to be parents just cant seem to get pregnant... so unfair

i have found myself bitterly jealous and not wanting to hear people talking about their friends who are pregnant or their friends who have got newborns xx

 

[wellsk]

Exactly, you're warned over and over again over how if you have sex once you'll fall pregnant. They don't bother to teach you that it doesn't happen for everyone and how painful infertility is. Because you're young, you're overlooked by medical professionals as 'being young, give it time' but when you have infertility, all the time in the world isn't gonna change it!

I'm the same, I find being around pregnant women and babies really difficult, I hate the jealousy and anger, but I don't know how else to be.

How are you finding living together? What do you do for a living?

DH and I got met when I was 15 (he was 22), married when I was 19 and brought our own place when I was 20
Lived on our own for almost 2 years now, love it!

Can I join in here?
My dp is 27 and I'm 21 we have been ttc for almost a year and we fell pregnant but miscarried in febuary and now I'm in the tww and 12dpo this will be my second cycle since mc and our first really ttc since.

 

[wellsk]

Welcome! I'm sorry for your loss

 

[littleone1993]

I do hate the injustice. This girl who I used to go to school with is pregnant now. She was with her 'bf' for about a month before she fell pregnant and apparently she was on the depo? Hmmm. She still lives at home, doesn't have a job, has been out drinking 4 times since she announced her pregnancy and her boyfriends houses has been raided 4 times for growing weed. It just annoys me that we're in a stable position and for the last year I've been waiting for DH's say so as to when we can try!

I wish it was as easy to get pregnnat as they made out in high school. They don't tell you that sometimes people actually have problems and I think it's hard. I remember doing an exercise about how many children we will have and at what age but now I realise actually its not going to work like that.

I'm 19, my DH is 22. We got married last year in January which was perfect and we have been living together since I was 16. My DH started uni in a completely different town so I just moved with him, transferred college and have been together ever since. We moved back to our home town last September to be closer to family for when we have children and for when I start uni!

We also had some good/bad news today. My parents rang us with the fact they've booked a surprise trip to Florida for us all next April. The problem I have now is if we carry on TTC'ing I may have a 4/3/2/1 month old/new born or be heavily pregnant. If I am one of the 80% pregnant within 6 months we're going to have a problem if I don't get pregnant this or next cycle.

A little uncertain what to do here as it wouldn't bother me taking a little one as long as I could get bub's passport done on time but if I'm going to be heavily pregnant or possibly pregnant if I go overdue its going to be a big problem!

Thanks my AF is due on the 26th but I ovulated cd11 holding out on testing. I'm going to test the 25th.

Hi hun. Sorry for your loss. I had a loss a few years ago and although it was an accident at the time, it took us nearly a year after we got married to try again because we were in fear of something like that happening again.

Glad of you to join us. Hope you get your BFP soon!
