July testers? Who is testing with me?

[gaves99]

Kaicee - I've had the surgery too, so wishing you well! The worst is over and hope you feel so much better soon.

I'm currently on cd24 and 9dpo. Not much happening but some cramping off and on the last 24 hrs. Anyone experience implantation before? What does it feel like and how long does it last? Trying to not get symptom happy last month, I had myself convinced so the bfn and it sacked.

I had implantation cramps with my 2nd pregnancy. I was 10dpo and it felt like pretty intense af cramps for several hours. But I'm sure everyone's experience is different. GL to you!!

I was thinking of Unlucky41 and WishnandHopn, how are you ladies doing? You both got your BFPs lately, hoping everything is going well for you.

Afm, no af yet, I'm too scared to test again. Really, I'd rather have af come than see another bfn. Will wait till Friday to test again if af doesn't show up.

Thanks for thinking about us. I am just struggling with a bad upper back. Don't think it is pregnancy related though. Saw the doctor and he just gave me some exercise to do no drugs. Going to see my physio this weekend.

Scan is next Wednesday trying not to think about it very scary!

Lilchik I totally understand. I have myself all these rules before lettering myself check. Hasv to be after a missed period. Have to have high temp still. Hoping you will get a bfp!

 

[Lilchik]

Oh darn, I'm so sorry about your back. I hope you find good remedy for it soon and can enjoy your journey a bit more being pain-free. Fx for your scan next week! May God bless you!

I'm not temping, so there's nothing I can rely on except af being late and getting that bfp. I'm losing my optimism for this cycle already. I was really hoping I could have some answers before our planned 10-year anniversary vacation this fall but there's not much I can do about that.

 

[Unlucky41]

Why you losing hope? What signs are you getting?

I lost hope after my RE told me to give up. God can do anything. I believe it was him who gave me my BFP.

 

[gaves99]

So I caved and just tested. I'm on cd27 and 12dpo.. thought that may not be entirely true, that's the night I pulled a peak and had cramping. Anyways bfn. It's so disappointing to see. I'll wait 2 days to try again. Damn

How long do you wait to go to a Dr to get checked out for any potential issues this time around? I'm not super young any more. Be 36 in Oct.

How old is everyone?

 

[Sophie2015]

I'm 43. The rule of thumb where I live is if no BFP after 6 months and over 35 see an RE. GL!! How long have you been trying?

 

[gaves99]

I stopped the pill back in January. We weren't trying but not preventing and have been trying for a few months now. DH is 38. I might call since it may take a bit to get an appt too

That's what I was just going to suggest. Go ahead and call. You can always cancel. I wish I had called sooner. We conceived (and then lost) our first 2 easily. I was 41. After the 2nd loss we couldn't conceive. I waited almost a year to call. Sooooo wish I'd called sooner.

I lost hope after my RE told me to give up. God can do anything. I believe it was him who gave me my BFP.

I meant I was losing hope for this specific cycle, not entirely. I believe in God and I know that He is the one who gives and takes and there's time and season for everything in my life. Of course I have many questions but I trust Him to lead me down the ttc road.
Well, - it is cd1 for me today. But you know what? I believe I'm closer to achieving my dream today than I was yesterday no matter how bizarre that might sound. I'm truly thankful for having a natural period in a timely manner, I am thankful for another opportunity, I'm thankful for being relatively healthy otherwise, I am thankful for my extremely supportive husband. Let's do it again!

 

[Unlucky41]

Lilchik you sound like a lovely person. Not going to lie. When I was at my darkest moments I took my anger and depression on God. He can do anything so why not give me a baby.

It is so hard to trust him always but it does pay out at the end. Wishing you all the best

 

[Lilchik]

Ohhh thank you! I'll take that as a compliment.
Don't get me wrong, I do have "down" moments from time to time also, I'm by no means a superwoman but I'm very happy those moments pass quickly and we are able to get back up and move forward. I keep reminding myself that in order to appreciate the sweet things life throws our way, we must experience the taste of bitterness, no other way to tell the difference. This philosophy has helped me in life and more so in our ttc journey.

 

[gaves99]

And I'm out.... she showed with a vengeance!

 

[Unlucky41]

Lilchik it is definitely one big compliment!

Graves so sorry to hear this really hope next month is your month

 

[Kaiecee]

So just wiped and had more pink more than I've had this whole time I'm sure I'm out even with being 8 days
