[elmum]

Congratulations @elmum hope this is it for you.
Can I ask why u had a iui? I can’t afford any kind of fertility treatment.
So for me it has to just happen.
I’m 8dpo and no symptoms.
Pretty sure I’m out again.
Seems I just can’t get pregnant anymore since my miscarriage early June.
So sad.
But happy for you and hope this is it.

Of course. You can ask me anything! Honestly, just to increase the chances and get the timing right. Given my age, I definitely don’t have time on my side. They do take the sperm through a process of removing all the extra stuff. Who knows if it will help us, but we are trying to hold on to hope. My new insurance covers it almost 100 percent so we figured it was worth the try.

I’m still hopeful for you. I know how discouraging it is to get BFNs after falling pregnant last summer. I hope you get a surprise bfp. Crossing everything for that to happen.

 

[AlwaysTheAunt]

@Suggerhoney I am hoping with everything for you to fall this cycle. I know how awful it felt to keep trying month after month with bfn all the time. Took us 24 cycles and here i am 19 weeks today. Thinking of you and really hoping for your rainbow hun xxx

@elmum praying this is your sticky beanxx

Popping in to say hi and hope you all are doing okay, three days into the new year.

im 4dpo and kinda hopeful this cycle
I started taking b6 last cycle but only just before ovulation this time I have taken it since cd1… hoping it helps
I’ve also had a lot of green/yellow tinged creamy cm, which I always get when pregnant
Definitely not an infection
Pinching on right side and sore boobs on and off

sending lots of love and will check back in a couple days

I’m just losing all hope love.
I did have cramping at 5dpo and 6dpo but nothing since.
Cm is thick and white. I’ve had that a few cycles now and it’s been a bfn so I’m pretty sure I am out again.
Don’t know how long I can keep doing this.
Fair dos others have tried years. But at 43 I don’t have years. Maybe I should just count my blessings and accept a rainbow isn’t coming my way. Hate being such a negative moo moo but I’m just so fed up with it all.
Xx

oh hun I just want to hug you so bad. There’s no words I can give that will change how you feel I know. When it took 18 months to conceive dd3 I was exactly the same. It’s soul destroying when you want it so desperately and it just isn’t happening. With her I wasn’t ovulating at all. My cycles were 100+ days back to back and I lost all hope. I tried Angus castus as I had nothing to lose and it worked within a month of taking it. I still say finding that was my miracle in the end. I still truly believe your final precious baby is just waiting for the right time. Desperately want to see some positive tests tomorrow. Everything crossed so hard for you

AFM, we managed to DTD 3 days before peak, 8 hours before peak and within 24 hours of peak. I don't temp, so I am unsure how quickly I ovulate (or if I even do) following peak.
I am hopeful for this cycle.
Equally though, I am a realist. I know that in 10 cycles of TTC, only 3 cycles have yielded a chemical pregnancy. Even excellent timing guarantees nothing. It is in the hands of the gods.
My goal for this cycle is to be calm and at peace.

sounds like you got some great timing in the end. Wishing you all the luck in the world

No, unfortunately I don’t have any normal OPKs, I can order some though

it may be worth just having a different brand to back up. There’s nothing worse when you’re left feeling so confused and not knowing what your body’s doing. I wish so hard it will happen for you. You’ve been trying such a long time. Massive hugs hun

My temp was up again this morning. I’m still worried my body’s playing games with me tho. I woke at 5:30 when dh left for work and took my temp. I usually take it at 6:30 so was an hour early and it was 36.41. I took it again at 6:30 and it was 36.38. I know I shouldn’t rely too much on the second temp as I had less than an hour sleep but I noted it down anyway. I randomly took it a minute ago tho, you know, just to see and it was only 36.13. I thought it would be higher during the day once you’re up and about. So the fact it’s that low has me doubting it all the more. I really hope I have ovulated, even if it’s just so I know when to expect my period after this and be able to start trying with a fresh new cycle. I’ll probably still feel disappointed if I don’t get pregnant from this but I think I’ll also be a little relieved that my body will get to have another flush through with a proper period and I’ll know where I am. I just hope this really is ovulation and it’s not my body playing around. It will be such a relieve because I was convinced I was going to be in for a long wait and my cycles would be screwed up. Hoping my temps stay up again in the morning. I just don’t want to start believing it for it to be wrong

Good luck to everyone!

[Suggerhoney]

Thanks so much @elmum and @Laurabub84, I got tearful reading your lovely kind messages.
Thank you so much for the support ladies.

@ehjmorris
Ooow good luck love sounds so promising. Fx for you as always my sweet.



9dpo today and haven’t tested. It’s just the fear of seeing yet another BFN, my right breast has a slight tenderness too it, only when pressing and only very slight.
Keep sneezing and have been since i ovulated.
Nothing else. Will test tomorrow 10dpo. Praying to see a clear as day pink lines

Oh love I’m praying that is ovulation. It certainly looks like it.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Good luck to everyone!

oh wow I can not believe your 12 weeks already hon. Goodness it’s crazy how far all you pregnant ladies are getting. Hope you’re well

 

[Laurabub84]

@Suggerhoney praying so much for those beautiful pink lines tomorrow.

 

[elmum]

You all are the sweetest and I know we all want this for each other. Sadly, I don’t think it’s my month after all. I am getting a vvvfl today. Lighter than yesterday. Still visible but at 11dpo I think it would be darker if I have a sticky bean.

 

[NDH]

Laura that looks like a definite ovulation pattern to me with your temp continuing to rise. And there's such a slight difference between your 5:30 and 6:30 temps using either will not change things too much.

Elmum I'm sorry your line looks lighter today . Crossing fingers that your pee was just more diluted today or something and you get a darker line tomorrow.

Suggerhoney I think skipping testing today is a good idea. Hoping for good news from tomorrow's test

 

[MrsKatie]

@elmum my tests the early days this time around were all over the place. Especially my FRERs. Even went almost negative at 12dpo. Don’t give up. I am praying sweetie.

 

[MrsKatie]

@Laurabub84 i think it sounds promising for ovulation and fx for that beautiful and sticky bfp

@Suggerhoney praying - always

 

[NightFlower]

I'm cd5 and af has finally almost done. Seemed like it would never end. Waiting on it to stop then we can start dtd.

Good luck ladies ❤

 

[josephine3]

@Suggerhoney good luck for when you next test I'd do love you to get a bfp this month, for us all I hope we can get plenty of them this month would be a great way to start the year x
@elmum sorry the line is lighter today I have everything crossed it darkens up again for you x
Good luck everyone who's into the tww! I'm 3dpo today I think and time is actually going quite fast having had new years and the kids at home etc. I must say I'm so ready for them to go back to school tomorrow though and I can have my living room back lol x

 

[MrsKatie]

May this be your lucky sticky baby cycle @NightFlower

 

[MrsKatie]

Good luck @josephine3
