first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[gina236]

Thats the worst! Hopefully lack of spotting means she will stay away!!

Let's both keep our fingers crossed.

Hello everyone, a bit of an introduction.....

My DH and I are both 27 years old and just beginning our very first TTC cycle. At this point I'm just tracking CM and using OPKs. I'm not temping just yet but considering it.

My first cycle off the pill was 28 days with O on CD18. 10 day Luteal Phase which is a bit on the shorter side. Hoping this month the LP is a bit longer or I get a BFP.

Wishing everyone good luck

Hi stitcher! It can take a little for your cycles to become normal after getting off birth control so hopefully 10 days won't be your normal LP as that is a little short! Hoping you are lucky and get pregnant right away! I don't temp either. Too much stress for me. But it is the only way to confirm O so it does have its benefits. Keep us updated!

Think I just got food poisoning or something. Finished eating dinner and about a half hour to an hour later I feel like total crap. Been trying not to vomit. Seems too severe and sudden to be MS. But because of it I tested again. Still barely anything I feel so sure I'm pregnant but I am afraid it's not going to stick. And now I'm going to have to deal with this on top of probably miss carrying again

Happy testing day tomorrow Gina and Vel. FX to you both.

I'm still just biding my time here...

Stitch: I had a 10 day LP my second cycle off bcp. The next cycle was even shorter, but I O'd a bit earlier again this cycle so seems my body is just adjusting. Hoping the coming months will be fairly regular now. Give it 3-4 months and see (that is if you don't get a BFP before then!).

 

[Velathria]

Gina maybe it is MS... got my fingers crossed it is.

Stitch that's normal after BC... it'll take a bit.

Lesondemavie how is it going? Feeling any different?

AFM so the came just as scheduled.... got my AF... I'm out this month... but still got my fingers crossed for you gina

 

[gina236]

Well test day... had VERY concentrated urine so was hopefully but same thing. Very faint line and "not pregnant" on the digi still feeling sick. If this is MS I am not looking forward to that. I'm supposed to go to my inlaws house tonight for my dh birthday dinner and his uncle flew in from Japan but as of right now I don't know if i can even eat. Ugh. Of course this would happen. So sorry AF showed Velathria I feel that I will be joining you soon.

 

[Velathria]

Awww... well maybe it will get stronger soon. I hope you don't join me.. it's enough that it failed with me.. don't want that on you... God and with such nice extreme pain

I feel like I just want to cry and vomit from the pain... stupid stupid witch.

 

[gina236]

She really has no mercy. Like it's not bad enough to know it didn't work this month, now mother nature needs to punish us even more. It's so cruel. I've pretty much given up all hope. I'll just wait it out now. No use wasting money testing.

 

[Velathria]

I know right?? And then you don't even have someone to blame for it

Good idea... your just making yourself feel worse... I really hope it sticks. .. you Def deserve it.

 

[gina236]

Thanks. This was just how my chemical started though. Faint lines that never got darker. I mean to be fair ive only been seeing lines for 2 or 3 days but still, they should be darker by now. If my hcg doubled in that time it would be darker. If it does end again I don't know how I'm going to keep doing this. I know they say chemicals are normal but I have a hard time believing that. I did everything I could this month so if it didn't work idk what will. We will probably just go back to ntnp.

 

[Velathria]

That totally sucks. .. how about going to a fertility doc? Getting checked out.. there has to be a way.

Cause you don't have a problem becoming pregnant only to get it to stick. Maybe there is something they can help with.

And yeah I get what you mean with being darker by now. Your AF is due tomorrow right? Or monday?

 

[gina236]

Due monday. The problem is doctors don't care about chemicals. They consider them late periods. And they won't see you until you've been trying a year at least. Idk. I'm feeling a little better now so maybe it was MS. Food poisoning doesn't go away that quick. Who knows. Just waiting. If AF doesn't show Monday I'll start testing again maybe

 

[lesondemavie]

So sorry AF came Vel. Wishing you a fantastic new cycle and another chance!

Sorry the line isn't getting darker yet Gina. Wishing the best for you.

I had twinges and some mood swings 1-6 dpo, but that's normal for me. I've been tired too, but my work schedule was crazy. Now I feel like the hormones are dropping again. Will probably be back on cd1 before I know it. Will start testing tomorrow, AF due Wed.

can anyone help... Ok I'm going abit crazy here. These are my ov tests. The one on the 12th was only CD7 and seems to be the darkest. Yesterday it went light and then today CD9 seems to be more pink than purple( the last test in the picture) really need some advice. Hope I haven't missed surge

Started tested early as I came of BC in October and completely new to all this.

CD7 would be pretty early to O for most, and none of those look as dark as mine do on surge day. I have a short cycle, but I still get my surge CD11-13. I started testing CD4 my first cycle, and I remember wondering if it would ever really get darker than the control... it did! Keep testing through your cycle and then you'll know more about your patterns .

Also, keep in mind that the color of the line will depend on when you test and how diluted the sample is. You'll tend to get darker lines in the am, and lighter the more hydrated you are throughout the day. I also get darker lines right after exercise.

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been MIA. I was super happy to hop on here and see that Gina has faint lines! Congrats! So happy for you, love. Let's not claim chemical yet. I have my fingers crossed for you.

V-- I have my fingers crossed for you, too. No AF!!!

Stay positive, ladies!

 

[gina236]

Thanks magical! I'm hoping it sticks!

Thanks for your reply. I read that's it better to test PM at the moment I'm testing 12pm and then again between 4-6. Confused that it went dark and then went light. I saw that you came of BC August how you when you came off and did ov first cyle. Here's my ov test first cycle didn't test throughout only some of the days. What do u think? Thanks in advance
