How long have you been TTC for #1

[Gagrlinpitt]

I'm 31(will be 32 in a month) And we've been trying for five months for our first bean..

 

[sarah2211]

We've been trying since November 2015 and August will be the start of our 10th month. My cycles are a little longer and this is my 7th cycle TTC.

I'm on my second cycle. Last month I ovulated way later than expected and totally mistimed BDing! I had a kidney infection so I think it threw off ovulation! This month I've used OPKs and temps so I at least know we times it OK

 

[sarah2211]

Bollz, your chart is looking good!

Yours too gagrilinpitt, you could test!

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

I did test this morning. So I'm thinking FF has my O date early. I'm two days late and temp jumped this morning. I don't see anything on this test.

 

[sarah2211]

Maybe you O'd CD16 or 18. I don't see anything on the test either

 

[bollz]

Thanks Sarah I'm just pleased I appeared to have ovulated and my body has done what it's meant too! I've always had slightly irregular cycles so it's worried me! But they do seem to have settled to generally 30-34 days long.

I think FF has ovulation a day early for me maybe. I had a strong positive OPK @ 7pm on the day it says I ovulated. I suppose I could have ovulated overnight on Thurs? I still had lots of EWCM on Friday, none on Saturday..

Either way, fingers crossed. I did a cheap test this morning and nothing. But it's not v sensitive, so I don't why I bothered just bored in the TWW

Good luck everyone!!

 

[sarah2211]

Yes know you have ovulated is a good start! My cycles has been irregular too. They started off 29-30 days but now usually 37 days long with O around CD22-23. So I know what you mean about these off cycles.

Last cycle I had an early MC and I'm currently on CD25. My CM has all dried up and my OPKs have had 1 line and no temp rise. I'm feeling like the MC has caused this cycle to be screwed up. I'm hoping that it isn't the start of really long cycles.

It is possible you O'd a few days earlier but based on your CM I think FF has it right. You usually O on the last or second to last day of fertile CM. The TWW is hard. I find it easier to deal with AF than seeing a BFN, but maybe that's just me.

The temp jump is the odd part..I expect AF today but it's only cd27.. My cycles are usually 29-32 days so I guess we'll see.

We're just coming up on exactly a year that we've been trying for #1. We got an early jump on narrowing down what our problem was just due to the fact that I was proactive about getting both of us tested right off the bat to make sure we were both healthy and fertile.

Better to be proactive!

 

[BelleNuit]

Been trying since November, on my 10th cycle (11 if you count the anovulatory cycle I had). We are also being proactive and are just at the point where we are getting testing done.

 

[alexanne89]

Been trying for 10 months. I'm only on cycle 5 though since my cycles have been really long after coming off BCP. This cycles looks like it'll be around 38 days which is good for me! We're moving to IUI so staying positive that we'll get our BFP eventually.

 

[Mozzarella]

We're starting our 5th month of trying and I've only had two normal periods since my withdrawal bleed off birth control. Now I'm stuck on a wonky cycle and have gone 2 months without a period, now into my 3rd month. I'm currently CD73 and hoping something happens either way... AF or a BFP. Been trying to just enjoy my summer and not worry about not having either. I also haven't tested with a hpt in two weeks since about CD60ish as I wasted so much money on tests hahah. So hard not to test though when you don't have a period.

 

[Sheece]

We've been trying since December, but this is only my 7th cycle as I've had a couple of 50 + day cycles thrown in there for fun We had an early MC at 4 weeks in April but apart from that nothing, so if we don't conceive this cycle I'll be looking at getting checked out I think.

Good luck to everyone I never thought this would be so frustrating and emotional!

 

[Geebug x]

We have been trying since end of February, I have only had one period in the time though and never had a positive ovulation test

We have an appointment with the fertility consultant on 7th Nov.

DH and I have been trying for 15 cycles now for #1. Cycle 16 we start IVF. We got the referral to the RE because DH had a super low normal morphology (2%). His most recent SA came back perfectly normal though, and all tests came back normal. We're just hoping a more aggressive approach will do the trick.

 

[sweetysangel8]

We are on our 3rd cycle. Finally caved and used OPKs this month so we were able to pinpoint ovulation better. Discovered the first two cycles we pretty much missed for the most part. 6 dpo so hopefully we will see a BFP next week.

 

[Delphia]

We've been trying off and on for 7 years. Yep...years. I ovulate irregularly and we just haven't been successful yet. We stopped trying for awhile, but decided to talk to the doctor about starting Clomid to make me ovulate. Will not start that til next month, but we're going ot try without it this month.

 

[Aphy]

We been trying since November. Only started using OPK about 3-4 months ago and realized we were off a little but besides that found out I have pcos so this is first cycle using treatment. DH must still have a SA but that will happen if we don't fall pregnant in the next 6 months
