JUNE Cycle Thread! Here we go...

I don't think that fear ever goes away, especially after you've already had an angel baby. Big ashmom

 

[KalonKiki]

Ashmom cramping is completely normal, especially in early pregnancy. Hang in there and try not to stress too much. Just eat a good pregnancy diet, take your prenatals/folic acid, look up some 1st trimester exercises to do and kick back and relax. Many women have MCs and go on to have perfectly healthy take home babies later (sorry about your loss back in October btw). You've got this.

I'm sorry to those that the got, I hope you all have better luck this cycle.

To those still in the game: Lots of luck and ! I hope you all get your soon.

2 DPO today. I feel like WTT for nearly a year and a half went by more quickly than this cycle is so far. It's killing me! Is every cycle TTC like this? Does it ever go by more quickly if you don't catch the egg straight away? I really hope so because I'm not confident that I'm pregnant this cycle.

Haha yes the TWW is the worst!!! WTT was easier because I knew for sure we would TTC. But there's no guarantee here! And the wait is so much more agonising! Fx you get a BFP!

 

[Mrs. and Mrs.]

Ashmom, sorry about the cramping scare! It is normal though! Hopefully it get's easier for you throughout your pregnancy.

Mommyof1: You know what can extend an LP? A fetus!

Todays HCG is ... I think a BFN. I can see something when I tilt it in the light one way or another. I'm testing every day from here on out!

The picture isn't great, but I'm showing it to you anyways.

Hope yall are having a great day!

Hi all!

Thank you for being so welcoming

Mommy - thanks for your thoughts. I am pretty sure this is just a wacky cycle just to keep me on my toes! Sorry to hear about your temp drop and have my fingers crossed you get your answer soon enough and hope it is not AF.

Ashmom - hang in there. You made it over the first hurdle by catching the egg. Cramping in early pregnancy is quite normal as long as it is not accompanied by bleeding. KalonKiKi's advice is great

M&M - how exciting!!! Fx the line keeps getting darker and darker for you!!!

AFM I am 10dpo and my temp dropped back down to normal post o range. I took a HPT this morning and it came back with a clear as day BFN. Not feeling really hopeful at this stage but at least the spotting has stopped so I will definitely know when AF arrives.

Good luck and tons of babydust to all!

 

[KalonKiki]

Mrs I love those tests! I actually lost my virginity to one of them.
It's still early, there's plenty of time for a positive test yet.

Welcome Bec! :wave:
I'm glad that the spotting has stopped for you but sorry that you're feeling out this cycle. Hopefully you'll get a soon but if you don't then I hope that AF shows up right on time so that you can move on to the next cycle and hopefully have better luck with it. Lots of !

 

[mommyxofxone]

mrs any tests today????

afm: started spotting again, this time it's not stopping. so pretty sure this is it and the witch has finally arrived.

 

[Needlesticker]

Count me out ladies.

My temp dropped this morning although it's still above the cover line. Started spotting and I have my characteristic GI distress before AF shows. My LP is only 12 days though...seems a bit short. I was 14 days last month even with dotted crosshairs....this month I had solid crosshairs. Onto month 2 of TTC!

Good luck to the rest of you ladies!!!

 

[Mrs. and Mrs.]

Sorry Needlesticker!

Mommyofone: today's tests look a lot like yesterdays. Still no AF. Hopefully tomorrow's test is better. I just keep telling myself that a lot of women don't get BFPs until 13, 14, 15 DPO and that's just okay.

Being patient sucks!

 

[Bec03]

Mommyofone & Needlesticker: So sorry to hear the big bad witch seems to have reared her ugly head. More than happy to beat her with her own broom so she does not come back next time!!!

M&M: There is still hope!! Hang in there

My temp went up slightly today but decided not to test as I am pretty sure I would get the same negative result. I was dry as a desert yesterday but this morning the dreaded spotting has returned at 11dpo. This time there is a little bit of ewcm as well which is confusing for me (sorry if TMI). I have never had this before but I guess there is a first time for everything . I am off to the fertility specialist this morning so at least that is something to look forward to.

 

[mommyxofxone]

well, cycle 2 officially ladies. I guess you'll be joining the july thread now?

 

[Mrs. and Mrs.]

Huh, that's odd Bec. Could be implantation bleeding. How heavy is the spotting?

Good luck at the fertility specialist! Biting the bullet and making that appointment was the best thing I ever did. I love mine!

Thanks M&M. The spotting has been light but after my appointment I am pretty sure it is just a funky cycle.

The appointment went great and am very excited about embarking on our fertility journey. The doc did a pelvic exam and an internal ultrasound which was interesting. Good news is that he confirmed I ovulated and that my lining is nice and thick but the bad news is that I ovulated from the right side where the tube is missing This also pretty much confirms I am not pregnant. I am finally also getting bloods done to check on my hormone levels. We have decided to try IUI before IVF and will commence next cycle (which starts in 4 days). I think this will be the only time I will be happy to get AF lol. I am hoping and praying I ovulate from the left side this time so we can proceed with the IUI. If it is the right side again I may scream a little in frustration as I will then have to wait for the next cycle lol.

Thank you for all you wonderful ladies letting me babble on as it has helped me feel less like a wacko!!!!

 

[Mrs. and Mrs.]

Bec - I'm glad your appointment went well! If it makes you feel any better, my dr told me that she's had clients with a removed tube who ovulated on the removed tube side and still got pregnant. Apparently the eggs can "jump" over to the other tube. That conversation happened when I had to have surgery to have some tumors removed off my ovary, and we were talking about fertility loss / what not.

SO. There's still hope. I still have my fingers crossed for you!

I'm officially 13DPO today, ladies! Today my breasts are burning a little bit, which is my first breast pain of the cycle. My LP is normally 12 days, so AF was due yesterday. My cervix is softer, and that has me a little anxious, but I still have white creamy cm.

I'm still hopeful!

I hope you all have a great day! I get off work at 6 am, and can't wait to wake up again to test! Woo hoo!

[Mrs. and Mrs.]

13 DPO - BFN on the FRER with FMU today.

Ugh.

I really thought today was going to be my day.

Thanks M&M. I just figure my egg forgot the GPS and has managed to get lost on the way to other tube lol.

Sorry to hear about your BFN but as they say, it is not over until AF arrives. Sending heaps of babydust your way and have my fingers crossed that tightly that I am losing feeling in them.

ugh no! sorry hun not out yet

 

[KalonKiki]

Does anyone know anything about the secondary estrogen surge? Yesterday at 4 DPO and today at 5 DPO my temps have started slowly going down. I looked it up and the only thing I can seem to find to explain it is the secondary estrogen surge after ovulation but I can't figure out if it's a good thing or not. I'm feeling very out this cycle and I'm still 4 days away from testing.
