Well BFN on FRER this am. 10 (maybe 11? But suspect 10) dpo. Temp dropped a bit too. Still way above cover but quite a drop from before, feeling down and out starting to wonder if it’ll happen - it’s been a year and took us only 2m with my daughter! What the heck!

Sorry it’s taking so long this time I can imagine it’s so hard when you’ve got a timeframe in mind from a previous pregnancy!! Good luck this month xx

 

[AlwaysTheAunt]

Sorry you've been trying so long @Alligator. My daughter was conceived the first month of trying so even moving into the 9th month feels like ages, i cant imagine a whole year for you. My sister just conceived on her 12th month. (Her first took 3).

Its so hard to stay positive isn't it i hope that its just too early for lines. Im really rooting for you! I feel like maybe i saw you in here when ttc my daughter too, shes 2 in August

That is possible! We started TTC in summer 2017 and my daughter is a July ‘18 babe. We had a miscarriage in July, before her (which also took only 2m to conceive). I thought 2m was the magic number lol.

I’ve had cramps again today! 3 days in a row now. Not sure what’s going on. If AF is coming it won’t be for 4-5 days. If it’s implantation I would think I would see a positive test??

 

[TTCaredhead]

Can I get some more advice from you guys?

Not trying to overload the thread with pics but would y’all consider this good for BD’ing
We BD 10pm on Cycle day 11 & 10am on cycle day 12
We might BD cycle day 13 as well.
just super curious if I’d be good just BD’ing Twice this cycle ?

I only BD on 1 day before Ovulation and ovulation day last cycle. I had a chemical unfortunately but it was obviously enough BD for the swimmers to get in there. Sometimes less can be more. Good luck!

 

[jellybeanxx]

@Kiwiberry great to see you! How are you? Not long to go now! Seems fast for me but maybe not for you lol, take care xx
@jellybeanxx I used conceive plus ovulation support in Jan/Feb and had VERY short cycles both times, ovulated on cd9ish, stopped them and went back to 14/16 days. A bit odd and I'm only guessing it was them but nothing else had changed. Now once I get to 9dpo I start taking them again lol. Good luck x

Edited as I tagged the wrong user!

@Peanutwanted Good luck! x

That’s really interesting! I wonder what causes the short cycles? I’m CD16 and started having cramping yesterday and have also got spots on my face which is normal for me before AF so am worried it’s going to be another short cycle. Hoping it might just be intense ovulation!
I’m not temping or anything because I’m trying to be relaxed about trying this time (ha) so not sure if/when I’m ovulating.

 

[Lucy3]

@TTCaredhead yep it’s enough. We BD once last cycle, 2 days before!

Good luck! Post pics if you want, we love to stare at them

Im stressed about when is best to start BDing! I’m on CD14 and usually ovulate between CD16-19. OPK’s are dark (just going by the pink ones - the greens say I ovulate all month!) but not positive yet. I usually get a line dark as the control line the day before O and a line darker day of O. Would you start tonight? Don’t think we will manage 3 days in a row because OH has bad hayfever. Or should I wait and start tomorrow?

 

[AlwaysTheAunt]

@Deethehippy for me I'd try tonight then skip a day then go again so little swimmers hopefully just sitting up there waiting to pounce. I cant bd every day though

Are you going to try raising your butt after? I did actually do that this month and i guess it kind of helped?

Thank you, yes I do try to raise my butt just with my legs/body but will try a pillow this time and raise it properly

Good plan! I used a rolled up towel this month but a pillow with my daughter. So this month i will try a pillow instead, the towel kinda hurt lol

BFN this morning at 11/12 dpo so I’m out I’m sure. With my pregnancy with my daughter I had a line by now (used a FRER too so it would have shown). I did have my second covid vaccine so maybe that’s messing with my cycle. Hopefully next month is the lucky one. Feeling down about it.

my temp did shoot back up again though so that’s good? Or maybe I was just warm lol!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Sorry about the bfn

That's well timed BD and for sure could be enough. I would lock it in with a BD tonight, but that's just me. lol

 

[Schweppes]

Used a one step test today and either 9-10 dpo. BFN.
Due AF the 30th but I already strangely have cramps so for sure out. X

I wouldnt say you are out at all based on that.

 

[Schweppes]

Hopefully but I am defo having my normal period pains. It’s all good I’ve only been trying 3 months.

I hope the TWW goes quickly for you, sounds like you’re in with a good chance!
Just wanted to say I love your username! I’m so desperate for a baby with red hair DS2 was born with red hair but it’s lightened to more of a blonde and I really want a proper redhead!
