Hi Ladies. How's everyone doing? I am currently 9 dpo for the 8th month of trying with no luck so far
It's so frustrating and I am sure everyone's patience is dwindling. But hopefully we will all get our BFP soon

Hi mommy2be!
Baby Dust to you this month!!!! Really hope this month is yours. I am 13 DPO but had a temp dip this morning so Im waiting for AF, I suppose. So on to month #3. This month was disappointing because I had implantation bleeding. Ive never had ANYTHING like that ever in my life. I really hope that next month will be my month.
How is everyone else doing? Any updates? Anyone needing to vent? We are all here for ya!

My first test was negative and my temp took a nose dive for some reason :/ I didnt temp today because I drank a little last night (my friend was going away and I figured a little bit of drinking wont really hurt anything at this early). Im going to test again tomorrow morning which is 12DPO

Raininglove: I hate the temp drop It's so gut wrenching to see. I have actually started to only temp from CD 10-CD20 just to make sure I O because it has made be pretty obsessed and I constantly analyze each and every temp. I am only 9 dpo but I already have AF type cramps so I am not very hopeful. I feel like at this point I have tried everything. Baby dust to you for the month #3 and hopefully that will be your month!
Bee Bee: Your only 2 day ahead of me. I broke down tonight and test and got a BFN but I pretty much new I would at this point. I can't decide if it's better to wait for AF or get a BFN and prepare yourself for it. How long have you been ttc? If AF shows Ill be on to month 9

Bee Bee: TTC has been so stressful this last 8 months and I couldn't imagine how you feel after 20. But it will happen and maybe this month is your month! I keep thinking that all of these people that say "it will happen when you don't expect it" are going to be right sometime soon but for me, nothing so far.

I'm just a day off from you. 9dpo here (approximately).
Just got some spotting this morning so that's not good news. Looks like all signs are pointing to low progesterone/short luteal phase over here. =( We're on cycle 6, atm.

mommy2be: It's my first month temping and Im still learning so much!!! I am still waiting for AF, ugh what the heck. I was really sad yesterday that my temp dropped, but now Im over it and want to move on to the next cycle, but if AF takes forever to come it's kind of throwing everything off!!! AHHHH!!! LOL okay, just needed to get all that out lol I guess I just will have to continue the waiting game. I just dont know whats going on, maybe with my next cycle I will understand my temps better. I really hope this is your month. I dont want anyone to continuously be disappointed. I really wish you lots of luck!!
BeeBee and siletto: Good luck to you both!! BABY DUST!!!

stiletto_mom: Yea you are right behind me...so you know the agony and stress that goes along with it I usually start to spot around 11-12 dpo so we will see. I have had a really weird ache that has been slightly different than cramps since 6 dpo but I refuse to get my hopes up. Your 2 cycles behind me with trying so I also understand your impatience. I really try not to symptom spot but it does get difficult. Hopefully your spotting was implantation and you will get a BFP.
Raininglove: I really like temping and have learned so much about my body since I started. I started trying in September and for the first 2 months didn't temp but started to in November. I always get a really nice temp spike around cd 17 but it hasn't ever really went anywhere. How many dpo are you? My temps were still up today but that doesn't mean much as I usually don't drop until 11 or so but I usually always have some up and down in my luteal phase. Hopefully month #3 will be your lucky month. Are you taking prenatals? Your LP is a bit longer than mine which is really good. I am sure your BFP is just around the corner!!!

mommy2be: I totally agree!!! I have learned a lot so far, I hope that in the coming months I will be able to learn even more ablout my body and learn what's normal for me and what's not. March was our first month of TTCing and I am glad I started temping this month, it's helped lots with finding out when my fertile days are. I am 14 DPO today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!! I really hope this is the month for you!!! Thank you so much for your positiveness, it really made my day!

Hi ladies - mind if I join? I've been TTC #1 since July 2014 with no luck yet. I'm on CD 4 now, and it was heartbreaking to get AF this time because I had all kinds of crazy symptoms I'd never had before - this big rash, swollen lymph node in my groin, weird dry rough tongue, little twinges like everyone says, gas/diarrhea every day since 3dpo. Then the symptoms went away pretty abruptly so I think I had a bean that didn't stick. I had never been this convinced I was pregnant. But then last Friday I woke up to bright red spotting and a huge temp drop, and by evening it was full on AF. Having a rough time but I'm starting to look forward to my next fertile window.
Sounds like many of you are either new to TTC or have been at it for a while, like me. In any case it's nice to share the journey with other ladies. I also take Vitex and use FF. I used OPKs last cycle and was the first time I saw the LH surge for two days, so that was exciting to know that ovulation was near. I've also been exercising more. DH is going to get his swimmers checked soon, and then maybe I'll take the plunge for a full on fertility consult if this next cycle is another BFN. Only had my blood levels checked once (I had very long cycles before Vitex) but otherwise we've been working on it the natural way.
Hope to see some BFPs soon from those of you in the tww!!

ksquared726: Of course you can join! I am only a couple months behind you in this ttc battle. I actually did break down and went to the doctor in March and she told me everything looked good and to come back in 5 months if nothing changed and they would do a hsg test I am kind of just putting my mind to it that I will have to wait till then so that I am not disappointed each month. I have nothing to think that I would have difficulties but I am. Hopefully this is your lucky month. My doctor did tell me that just as many women get pregnant on their 10th and 11th cycle as they do on the 1st and 2nd so thats promising.
Raininglove: Yes I would keep on temping. It's cheaper than OPK's because I have found that I O on cd 17 every cycle but 1 out of 6 so you can confirm ovulation. Hopefully this is your month. My friend at work got pregnant on the 4th cycle temping so I am hopeful that it will work but I just want it to hurry up Just don't read into each temp otherwise it will cause you more stress. I have really just started focusing on the week that I O and not the first week of my cycle. I am not very hopeful for this cycle since I am 10 dpo and broke down and tested tonight and got a BFN however it is a Meijer brand cheapie so there is still hope But AF will probably show up tomorrow sometime It's so nice to just be able to chat with people that understand the stress and struggle that is a part of this. My bff that started trying with me of course got pregnant in the end of January and is due in October so she isn't any help anymore!

I'm glad I found this website, because the others I've found I haven't really connected with.
I'm nervous to see how my body does off of bc since I've been on it for over 10 years. Just thinking about my teenage heavy period years...ugh. lol.
Anyways, sending tons of positive vibes to all your TTC ladies here!! Can't wait to join this journey with you!

Thanks, Mommy2Be . It probably helps a lot that you have a plan for if you don't get a BFP in the next few months. I got my blood tested in January and they were mostly normal, though I had been on Vitex, so the doctor was like "well, good luck and call me when you get a positive test." So no one is going to test for anything I think unless I pay for the fertility appt. That's good to know that just as many people get pregnant late than early. Feels like with each passing cycle my chances are decreasing, but maybe not . And sorry that your BFF is no longer able to relate to the struggle! I have one good friend who just started TTC last month, and she's the only person I've told about TTC. I'm guessing she'll get pregnant before me. And my other BFF already has a baby and didn't seem to have trouble conceiving, so I haven't told her. Which is surprising that it wasn't difficult for her because she's always had medical issues and I haven't. Ugh.
Hi Uhlease! I was on BCP for more than 10 years too, and about a year ago I was taking my last few weeks of the pill too. Hopefully you have an easier time than I have so far, lol! But that's great that you're reading up and learning about it all now. I didn't start that until I had been TTC for a couple of months and was wondering why my cycles were getting longer and longer. For me, the more I learned the less stressed I felt because I knew more about what was going on in my body. I do think that temping was the best thing because I always assumed I'd ovulated based on cm but now I know it used to take my body a few tries before it O'd. Best of luck to you!

Thanks ksquared! And from what I can tell from everything is that it's either easy or hard for people to get pg. like no stupid in between. One of my bffs got pregnant in two months of trying (even after weird cycles right after bc) and my other bff has been trying almost two years now. Life just makes no sense sometimes. Hope everybody has a great Tuesday!
so I'm just going to stop taking my progesterone today and go on to month 20.

Welcome Welcome to Everyone!!! So nice to have you here!!!
mommy2be: Thank you for the advice, I really do need to make sure I dont read into every temp, hopefully since I kind of know what to expect that will help. I think temping has been super helpful thus far, so I will continue it. I really hope AF doesn't show up for you. All my fingers and toes are still crossed for you!!! AF showed up for me, but Im happy, now I can get on with my next cycle. I totally agree chatting with all of you has been so helpful! I am happy for your friend but cant imagine how hard that must have been for you at the same time.
BeeBee: Im so sorry to hear, sending

Bee Bee: No good I hate BFN's but at least you can start trying for month 20. Have you went to the doctor or just waiting it out? Best of luck to this month for you!
Uhlease: I totally agree that it really makes no sense why some get pg right away and others have to try. My doctor wasn't even able to explain it to me. Hopefully this is your month
ksquared: You have such a positive attitude and I need to be more like you I like that doctors are confident that it will all work and you will get pg but it also isn't very helpful when all you want is an answer. I am 11 dpo and my temp was still up this morning but the real test will be tomorrow morning. I have had cramps since 7 dpo pretty constant which is weird but learned to not read into it too much. The best of luck that this is your month!
Raininglove: Temping is great to get to know your body and learn when you O. Every month but 1 since I started temping 6 months ago I have O'd on day 17 which is awesome to know. Not that it has lead to anything but its important to know. I am 11 dpo and temp was still up today but I am not really hopeful. We will see tomorrow as that is when AF is supposed to show up. What CD are you on?
Baby dust to everyone and hopefully this is everyone's month and we all get our BFP's

I've been going to a RE since May of 2014
