Need daily support buddies!

I've diched temping. It stresses me out I'll rely on CM and the usual cramps as a tell tale signs. Do you think dtd every other day is enough? As for testing...not until I'm beyond cd 40.

Hey there may I join in too..ttc from almost an year but last year had pcos which is no more and now without that ttc from last 3 cycles..this is the third one..5 dpo today and not much symptom though!!..
I login almost everyday so we can be buddy too
lets hope all of us soon get our BFPs..

Mrs Reineke, I totally agree. Mad, jealous, depressed, and at the same time trying to act all happy! So hard to fake it when it comes to something as emotional as ttc and frustrated.

Hairftsher, I bought a bunch of internet cheapie opk's and hpt's so I just test whenever I think to so it. Waiting 1 day and this morning another BFN at 12 dpo. Called my OBGYN for a Letrozole refill and they said after 3 rounds if it doesn't work they refer me to a fertility specialist!?! I had to ask the asst on the phone to mail me a lab slip to have my progesterone checked...I think my problem lies in the TWW as I'm ovulation each month. Are they the doctors? Why am I having to diagnose myself?! Arrrggg!

That sounds really frustrating! I've only been trying for two cycles, but I'm a worrier by nature. I immediately have to wonder if there's something wrong with me, because why hasn't it happened yet? It only took my mother one try with both my brother and I.

I read so many things on here about people who are not conceiving and the health problems that are linked to it and I think it only stresses me out more.

Hello,

I also would like to join if it is possible.
We are trying for our second one. My son is now 5. We had to wait 5 years to try the second one because of my depression.
My implant just got removed 10 days ago and we are waiting for the first AF. Till then we can try, but there is very very tiny little chance to get pregnant.
I have actually no idea when my AF will come. It can be tomorrow but it can take a half year as well...

PS. I am from The Netherlands btw.

 

[Mrs Reineke]

hairftsher I don't know how you can stand to wait to take a pregnancy test! Haha!! I'm so impatient that I have to take one to find out. I figure if it's negative I want to know so I can stop hoping. Then I'll be all upset until my AF ends that month and then I'll get excited for BDing again and the process starts all over again.

Welcome Pearly86!!! Glad you joined!! I'm so sorry it's taken you so long to get your BFP. That's so stressful and frustrating.

MandaB If you do have to get referred to a fertility specialist it could really help!! May be something easily fixable!!

Magrat I think BDing every other day is perfect!! That's what we've been doing. They say that is best because the can live inside you for up to 5 days, but you're also not lowering his by doing it every day.

Really hoping I do not have to go another month with this. I'm frustrated. I'm sending all of you ladies lots of and hope we all get our real soon!!!

Welcome Khatif!!! Glad you joined!! I'm from Idaho!! So glad you have one wonderful child!! That's awesome!! Makes it super promising for you to get pregnant again with your 2nd. Sure hope your body will reset quickly and your AF will start soon. Keep us updated!! Lots of your way!!

 

[Pearly86]

Thanks Mrs Reineke, for welcoming me Eod is really great plan but this time we did almost everyday for a week dont knw but we dint feel like stopping
eod also for first week and second week almost daily hope whatever we did it just turns out to be for good!!.,,,what dpo are you at hun?

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Pearly86 I'm on CD 23. I am not 100% sure when I ovulated, but I think it was approx the 29th or so. Which puts me around 12 dpo. But my last AF was messed up for the first time in my life, so I'm all confused this cycle. I had what I thought was my AF 5 days late, and then it lastest for 2 1/2 days and stopped which has never happened because I've always been regular. Than it started again about 2 weeks later and lasted a few days longer than it normally does. I went to my OBGYN because that was all new to me and she told me to count the 2nd AF I had as my actual one and to time BDing according to that. So frankly I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated, I went with CM, position and ovary pains. Now I'm not 100% sure when my AF will start this month, but I'm guessing somewhere between the 14th and 18th. So I thought if I haven't started by the 18th I'll take a test and see what it says.

 

[Pearly86]

ohh is that what happened..god ttc plays such a tricky game!!..good that you met your ob/gyn abnormalities once is quite ok so need not worry hun!
hope this is the cycle for you and all of us here Fx for all !! If you have not started temping and opk then do that that also tells our cycle well..so but then i really hope and wish this is it and you dnt have to go by that!!

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Pearly86 I'm going to start temping if we don't get pregnant this cycle and I got a fertility monitor I'll use as well. Hoping I don't need them!!

Hi, can I join? I've been lurking around for a couple of weeks but mostly feeling too shy to post anything

Cycle 2 of TTC, not entirely sure how long my cycles are at the moment since my first proper AF after coming off the pill 2 months ago was (TMI) unusually heavy and a 30 day cycle. Before the pill my cycles were around 28 days long.
I am on CD 23, I think. Not sure at all when I ovulated! (TMI again?) But boobs have been progressively more sore to touch since around the 4th. And bigger in the last few days (well, that's when I noticed. OH noticed a few days ago too). Reading far too much into it of course...probably imminent AF, haha. Occasional little pains in my lower stomach.
FX for everyone x

 

[heychrissie]

CD 22, woops. Not sure how to edit posts...

 

[jjbubbles28]

Hi everyone. 5th cycle ttc, using only supplements , preseed, and eod bdding. Hoping this is our lucky month. Planning on going to doc by end of summer due to age (35) good luck!

 

[Khatif]

Good morning ladies,


How are you today? For me there is no sign of AF I so hope every morning that will happen finally.

Any of you using any ovulation kit to determine when you are ovulating?

Heychrissie, to see more into it is rather normal at this stage, I am afraid. How long are waiting with testing?

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Welcome heychrissie and jjbubbles28!! Glad you two joined!! heychrissie nothing on here it TMI!! We talk all about our bodies and stuff that's happening. So no worries!! jjbubbles28 this is our 4th cycle trying and I'm hoping I don't have to go on to a 5th. I'm 30, so I'm hoping we do not have any problems. I've had my egg reserve tested and it was good and my husband did one of the at home count tests and it said he was good. I know there are many different things that can cause problems besides those two things though. I'm a worry wart and I'm a bit concerned.

Aw Meg you break my heart every time you post! I want you to get pregnant just as bad as I want to get pregnant! I hope it happens for you this cycle. xo

 

[hairftsher]

CD 27... no sign of AF yet, but my cycle can be as long as 34 days. Feeling pretty moody and tired - but that's the usual PMS thing for me. Sigh. I don't think this month is my month, ladies!

 

[Mrs Reineke]

hairftsher you're too sweet. I hope your PMS symptoms are actually pregnancy symptoms!! They say they are a lot alike and women get them confused!! You can't count yourself out yet if you haven't started your AF.

It's weird because today I've had on and off right ovary aches. Nothing major, but it's noticeable. Odd because I'm approx 13 or so dpo? I think? This month sucks because I'm all off with where I'm at. Why does this happen to me when we're TTC?? Normal cycles for 17 years and then a screwed up one??
