First time trying in my thirties too! Glad I am trying now instead of waiting because of how long it took to conceive DD in my mid twenties.
OK so just passed a load of clots and just now passed a big one. I think this is another chemical im devastated
Means im gonna be out this cycle to. Why is this happening
So I haven't caught up yet, but ladies LOOK! IM SEEING ANOTHER LINE! so the top test was day before yesterday that I am already posted, the bottom one was yesterdays, I didn't post it yesterday as I thought it was a dud test as the strip never want white but stayed pinkish so I couldn't see if there was a line, but the sunlight is brighter this morning and I glanced at it and saw a definite line stronger then the day before! I have just tested with FMU again and waiting impatiently for that one to dry lol but also I am officially at 12dpo for the first time ever, my AF usually comes at 10-11dpo, and so far no sign of her, guys I am shaking I'm so hopeful but nervous! Please let this be it after so many months! I want it so much

I feel totally crushed.
It just feels so unfair, im still holding on to a tiny bit if hope that this isn't another loss and instead is just a good clear out.
But all the odds are pointing to early Misscarige.
The fading symptoms mainly and now this.
I didnt get a positive test tho, I only got shadow lines on ICs and I did a frer at 11dpo which had a vvf line then when I tested again there was nothing the next day.
I was hoping it was just a faulty test. With my chemical back in April I bad a much clearer line.
Oh please don't let this be another loss,
@Alligator I swear something is catching my eye on the FRER and the cheapies! Like Dee said, don't count yourself out until the witch shows. I didn't get positive with either of mine until 13DPO. And every pregnancy is different! You could have a late implanter who is just doing things in their own time! Don't give up hope!
@drudai ugh, that is so frustrating! do you typically have irregular cycles? Did you temp or anything this last month to confirm you ovulated and didn't have an anovulatory cycle? That could explain the abnormal period flow
@Suggerhoney I feel the same way. I have two wonderful and amazing little boys who I am so incredibly grateful for every single day. But that doesn't mean that I don't still long for another to complete our family. Wishing and dreaming for more love, more babies....that doesn't mean you're not grateful for what you have now and we all understand thatOh hun, I just to your next post about a possible chemical. I am so so sorry
@ChibiLena I keep telling DH that we need to have a girl otherwise a boy will just be "boy 3" hahaha. We do have a shortlist of 7 or 8 names, with a frontrunner, but I'm not going to commit to any of them until we find out we are having a boy. Because what will happen is we pick a name, I fall in love with it, we have a girl and I start pestering DH for baby #4 to try to use the name lol
@Jft1
@tdogGREAT progression!!
@Nixnax I'm glad your + finally showed up!!
@StarryEyes. CD8 feels early to me, but I am sure it is possible. It's probably that FF gave you crosshairs because you have your mucus marked as eggwhite followed by 3 days of rising temps. Try taking that out and see if you get crosshairs closer to your typical O day as it comes up. It very well could move your CH without taking the marked E off (mine have done that) as you move along in the cycle with more information. Temping is great but can be a bit tricky!!
@Cronkie121 I don't know anything about trigger shots but 6dpo does seem early. Hopefully the coming days pass quickly for you so you can start testing!!
@3 girliesGood luck with your next cycle!!
@Hevalouaddict I'm sorry for the extra long AF (I had one of those last cycle too). Best of luck this cycle to catch that eggy!!
@Lightning7 Definitely see those lines!!! And I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the cheapies honestly...there is a reason why they are cheapI never got much more than faint lines on them, even when my FRERs were darker than control. Your chart is looking awesome. I would give it a day or two and bust out one of the FRERs to see. You have to remember too that you won't see progression one day over the next easily on tests. Compare every other day to track it.
AFM, i FINALLY got my + OPK today!! Took it's sweet time to show up but it did! Basically jumped DH once the kids were in bedI have one more CB OPK that I'll take in a day or two just to use it up (i'm not planning on using those next cycle if we don't catch this month so figure, why not pee on one more thing lol). Will keep temping to confirm O and watch over the next couple weeks and then sit back and enjoy the next week of a pee on stick free life until i start obsessing about it again. Honestly I find the week after ovulation to be the best of the month when you are trying. You're not in the midst of AF, big check. You're not worried about timing sex right with ovulation, and then the bit of worry of what if i don't ovulate (this was me yesterday), check. You're not in the POAS, line eye, etc phase, check. You can just sit back, relax and dream of seeing that BFP. Obviously the best is when you get your BFP, but as a whole, the third week is the most relaxing of all of them to me.
But I’m pretty sure it’s wrong, I’m still gearing up for ov in around 5 days and hopefully my temps and a +opk will reflect that so it updates! My temps were quite erratic up to that point, last 4 days have all been very stable so maybe I’ve just got the hang of taking my temp better?! 
Glad you have ovulated and got some BD in at the right time, it’s a relief to know you have done all you can and I agree that the wait after ovulation can be the most relaxed. Chill and allow your womb to accept that little egg soon@Alligator I swear something is catching my eye on the FRER and the cheapies! Like Dee said, don't count yourself out until the witch shows. I didn't get positive with either of mine until 13DPO. And every pregnancy is different! You could have a late implanter who is just doing things in their own time! Don't give up hope!

@Alligator - contrats!! That looks like a BFP to me.
@Suggerhoney, I'm sorry.
Sorry if I don't reply to everyone's post. I feel like whenever I come back to this thread there are so many posts to go through!
I was just wondering, how long have each of you been trying to ttc? If you have previous children, how long did it take for you to conceive them? I am just curious because it took us 13 months to conceive DD. It's funny how the doctors all say "if it takes more than a year, you likely have fertility issues" and yet...we got pregnant after more than a year of trying. My thinking is that...there are so many factors that come into play. Not only do you have to DTD when you ovulate or around then, but all the conditions have to be perfect. When I think about it...it feels amazing that anyone can get pregnant lol.
It'll be our 6 month of trying this time and I am trying my best to stay positive because I know that if I let myself go down a rabbit hole like I did the first time, it won't do me any good.
it's so frustrating how messed up my cycles have been since my miscarriage.
Alligator: Congrats!! I see the lines on the FRER with no problem. FX for even darker tests here soon!!
Tdog: Lovely progression. Keep them coming. We are all here to see everyone succeed. Your tests give me hope just seeing bfp.
Sugger: HUGS I hope it lets up soon. I am so sorry. You have been so sweet and supportive to everyone. Hang in there sound trite but please do. We will be hanging in there with you.
Lighting: I think I can see some faint lines coming through. Hoping madly this is it for you!! Keep us posted FX!
Dee: You are not out at all. Your hormones may be at war a bit but Ovulation should happen still. Hopefully your doc can shed some light on what might be going on though. Are they doing a sono at all? I know my fibroids are supposedly small and not located in a way that impedes a pregnancy i was told. I havent checked up on them in at least a year or two. Guess its time. Keep us posted on how you are doing. I feel the same with posting lately. I'm old and been at this a while but you know , we still need the support of ttc community and I love reading your posts.
kksy: FX for catching the eggy! And yes, the week after o is confirmed is the best ever. No more anxiety over bding or ewcm. Tea time.
Nix: Get that bding in!!! Cuppin whatever ya can get stirrin!! hahaha...
I read everyone's posts and want to send out BIG HUGS to those with bfns or AF knocking on the door. I never want any cycle to end that way but we pick up and move on. Our goal is the rainbow and we will get there.
AFM waiting on O and super busy part of work starting tomorrow so I will fade back into the shadows again. With work picking up like mad I barely have energy to type once I kick back...lol..but I think about all of you on here and wish nothing but the best so I try to post where I can. I know I really need the support and company
of you all.
Have an amazing day everyone!!
Sorry I haven't been responding much recently ladies. I am reading the posts every day but struggling a lot mentally with ttc right now so I haven't been commenting much. I'm on cd52 now
