Our journeys to baby #2

[Huggles]

Definitely not pg. Did another test now and still bfn. AF should arrive today or tomorrow.

Lucy: Only my ttc community friends know aside from one of my sisters. I feel people on tts sits just understand better. I don't know anyone in my family or close by to even chat about with it. They all think conceiving is a piece of cake or just don't want to talk about their experiences.

Right now I'm going through another bout of bb pain. Just in the front/surface over nipples. My temps have not gong post bbt high that much either so I'm pretty sure this is an no ovulating cycle. I had the same breast pain last cycle but my temps were crazy high. But high temps doesn't meant you had a good ovulation without ultrasounds or blood tests to back it..ugh.

So I'm just waiting this cycle out so I can get my hormones tested next go round.


Huggles: I'm sorry about the stupid bfn. I'd rather sit on a hot bench wearing daisy dukes than have to stare a bfn. If AF shows, I hope it not to bad on you. More water and less sugar helps with cramps too.


How is everyone else doing?

Huggles your not out till af turns up

Ftale, no one tells you it's a science do they? They just make trying for a baby out to be the lovely moment where you have sex and 9 months later a baby pops out!
It's just so hard try to be optimistic!

I'm a little excited this cycle, I don't know why, but I'm also really worried that af turns up and it hits me harder!

 

[FTale]

Lucy: FX your good feelings lead to a bfp. I like feeling like that. It happens every now and then. This month is not an 'omg, I think this is it' type of cycle...lol

When do you plan to start testing? I don't have any real hope for this cycle but do plan to test at 10dpo. It would be frickin' awesome if we got bfps...hahah

 

[lucy_smith]

af due monday, going to test tomorrow (sat) morning as im out on sat night just incase ( gives me a good excuse to get a test out!) But just on a cheapy( which is suppose to detect 10miu or whatever it is) ! i have a clearblue but they are just so expensive to waste!

Ok, yeah, don't waste the clearblue this early. Any major symptoms giving you an inkling into getting a bfp? Man, I hope you test positive but if you don't remember you are still in till AF shows most uninvited.

 

[lucy_smith]

For some reason I thought yesterday was Friday! Omg! Lol
So tested a day early by mistake ! Whoops bfn

I've had heartburn which seems to be getting worse as the week goes on.
Feel a little sick too
To be honest I think I'm just getting too hopeful!
Been trying for sooo long now

 

[FTale]

Lucy: Oh darn, no, sorry it was a bfn (are you sure?) What dpo will you be on Monday? I'm totally confused but best case scenario I will be 8dpo worse case only 6dpo. My temps have been crazy and my opk still blaringly positives. I wonder if FRER opks are just too sensitive.

 

[lucy_smith]

I will be 11/12 dpo on Monday, but af always turns up then

 

[fxmummyduck]

Hey ladies, sorry been quiet will read through and catch up on everyone. Been so busy seeing family since getting back and then ds caught a tummy bug, so it's been crazy.

Hopefully testing with my opks can resume soon!

 

[FTale]

Lucy: Your LP is short. Have you ever supplemented your cycles with progesterone before?

 

[Huggles]

I'm definitely out. AF showed up at midnight last night, so taking today as cd1.
I was really getting my hopes up too because I was just so exhausted, feeling a little queasy at night, constantly hungry in the day and needing to pee quite frequently. Guess I just misjudged ov day

 

[lucy_smith]

Fatal, I did mention to my dr about progesterone and she just told me she thought I might have a hormone imbalance but she wouldn't test as it doesn't matter as you can't give someone ttc anything while they are trying until they get to ivf stage ( which I know is rubbish) just waiting for this fertility specialist appointment to speak to someone who knows what they are talking about

 

[lucy_smith]

I'm so sorry huggles xxxx

 

[FTale]

Lucy: WOW...that doc is a winner...IVF? Not everyone can afford to even do that. Everyone know you need your hormones tested to see what needs tweeking. Yeah, I'd count on the RE over that doc anyday.

Huggles: Sorry the witch showed. I'm experiencing the frequent trips to the bathroom too. Way to early for this but my cycles are always like this then close to AF day I get frequent urination again.UGH. Drives me crazy because I can't use it as a sign.

Do you have any special supplements going into this new cycle? I've been so bad totally stopped taking my prenatals. Can't even recall the last day. I guess I haven't been worried to much as I don' think I have a very good Ovulation.

 

[Huggles]

No, I'm Not taking anything other than folic acid.

 

[lucy_smith]

I'm taking pregnancare conception and my partners taking wellman conception

Hi Lucy and welcome! How are you doing? Thanks for replying in my other thread too, it's pretty quiet in there so tend to chat in here more when I can.

Huggles- so sorry af got you, it's so much worse when your expectations are raised too, that's exactly what happened to me this month too and I was SO upset.

Ftale- how are you doing?

Afm I somehow need to get back on the horse. I was just so devastated last month I almost can't face it again. Dh wanted to bd last night and I feel really bad I just replied with 'what's the point?' Haven't apologized yet but will when he gets home.

Don't feel bad. That was me this cycle too. I don't think I even ovulated to top it off.

I'm sure he will forgive you. It is so stressful.

I only got my hopes up about 10% as we barely did any bding and my temp took forever to rise to indication any ovulation at all. Plus, what I did feel of ovulation wasn't much this time.

Maybe next month? I mean, if we stop trying, we for sure won't get our lil beans baking.

FX we can put an end to the BFN saga soon. HUGS all

 

[Huggles]

Mummyduck, sorry you're feeling so despondent. Ttc with no bfp sure does start to feel somewhat pointless.
