***September testing group***

[Suggerhoney]

@Laurabub84 thanks lovely! I did have a dip and spotting with my #2 so we’ll see but I’m not feeling too confident!

@Suggerhoney I understand the negativity, it can be really hard to hold onto hope month after month. We’re all in it together and you can always come vent here when you need!

It is love. I feel so hopeless at the moment.
Been on a bit of a downer all day. I just know it’s gonna be another BFN this cycle too or if I do catch it will just end in another loss. I used to find ttc so exciting when I would just fall easily. But now I hate it.
It’s also seeing how no woman my age have a healthy baby on here. All the women I can think of over the last few years that have been ttc at 42, they would fall but lose. Even a lady that had 10 kids fell with number 11 at 43 and lost it at 13 weeks. This was 2 years ago now and she kept trying but only had chemicals and never got her rainbow.
There was a few others too that were ttc at 42 and yes they would fall but lose and all those ladies never got there rainbow.
It gives me no hope let alone the shitty statistics too

Awwww, thank you all. Your all such lovely ladies here. I’m not getting excited at all just yet, I’m too scared to. Maybe once af’s due date has passed and my lines continue to darken. Apart from my first it’s always taken a little while to fall so I was really trying to prepare myself for that. I’m still so shocked but I really hope this is our keeper because with dh worrying about his age I didn’t want it taking too long, because I think he would have wanted to stop at a certain point. Like I say tho it’s still such early days. Will take it a day at a time for now. I really hope the rest of you get your bfps asap. Thank you all so much for your support. Picked up a digital when we went shopping. They always feel like confirmation. I still dreaded it saying not pregnant.

sending you all so much

I just remembered too the other thing i had changed semi recently (whenbwe moved 2.5mths ago) was stop drinking soy milk and switch back to dairy! I had read sometimes soy could affect fertility but in higher amounts them what i was having but wanted to switch back to cows milk anyway. (Was trialling dairy as a cause of my chronic headaches but i think now they were caused by wisdom terth coming through/moving for 2+ years). Not saying that did help or anything just thought maybe a coincidence? I was not on soy before i fell with my daughter either.

thanks hun. I just want to wait a little longer to be sure this little one sticks. I’m still scared to test again today in case there lighter.

good luck to everyone else. Will pop over to the October group and have a catch up when I have some time later. Hoping it will be a super lucky month with lots of sticky bfps

Hey ladies. Have any of you tried myo inositol? I've been avoiding supplements because my cycles have actually been pretty regular for the past year but I'm still not pregnant so think it's time to try something. I have pcos.

9dpo and bfn as usual so feeling pretty down today.

sorry your feeling down hun. I’ve never tried that, sorry. I have pcos too. The only thing I tried in the past was Angus castus/vitex but that was because I just wasn’t ovulating at all. I had googled so much and was coming up with women having success using this so had nothing to lose. I was having annovulatory cycles that were so long back in 2016. These where my temps from January to July. Was horrendous when all I wanted was a baby.

I tried Angus castus and a month later I was pregnant. I don’t know if it’s ok to use if your cycles are regular tho. I hope someone else with more experience can help you. I really hope you get that bfp very soon

 

[Laurabub84]

Does the 24hr progression look ok do you think? I thought they looked the same as yesterday but I think maybe they are a little darker now I’ve compared them??? I hate these first days waiting to see if they get darker. I really want to feel excited and just happy to pregnant but I’m so scared to let myself because I still can’t shift the feeling this is too good to last. Hoping for darker lines this evening

I had a mmc in Jan 2020 and my cycles were crazy for about a year and a half later which is when I was diagnosed with pcos. I put on weight because of the mc and then lockdown so I think when I started to lose that was when my cycles became more regular again (last aug). I'm so worried about taking a supplement and it messing up my cycles again. I did actually take agnus castus the month I conceived my mmc but I think I only took it for about a week for some reason. I have noticed my peak hasn't been as strong the past couple of months and I'm not sure if I actually ovulated or not. It's all so confusing

Congratulations on your bfp xx

thank you hun. I know what it’s like and it’s so hard. Do you temp at all? Could be something to try for a couple of months to confirm ovulation. I get you with the supplements, I’ve always worried about anything messing with me. I had a long cycle this January, lasted 73 days, then the next was 40 and after those I have been reasonably regular. I tried the Angus when trying for our 4th as like I said back then I really had nothing to lose and the only help the doctors would offer me was to go on the pill for 6 months then see if it regulated me once I stopped. I’d already gone half a year with nothing at all happening and I wasn’t prepared to go another. Those tablets at the time were my miracle. Have you spoken to a doctor to see if they could maybe offer better advice?

No I tried temping but I always end up going for a wee in the night or being woken by kids so it was never accurate lol I think I might give the myo inositol a try anyway because it's supposed to help regulate hormones and reduce pcos symptoms so it can't hurt to try. Just fx it doesn't make my cycles longer again. When I was diagnosed with pcos by gynaecology they said they don't give met or anything anymore so I would need referred to fertility for clomid. I've been putting off the referral though because I know I'm too overweight for them to give me clomid yet. Myo inositol apparently reduces hunger too so maybe it'll help me lose the weight I need even if it doesn't help me conceive.

They look a bit darker today @Laurabub84.
It’s so hard those early weeks.
With all my chemicals my lines were never dark but with my miscarriage in June my lines got darker every day and by 13dpo my Frer lines were matching and my ICs were almost matching I felt because my lines were progressing all would be good. Then from 14 to 16dpo they stalled and I was only getting a 1-2 on a digi. At 17dpo my ICs were so close to matching, I even had a line stealer on a Femometer test but when I did the other digi it was still saying 1-2 and I was almost 5 weeks and it should of been a 2-3 and that’s when I new something wasn’t right.
Then at 18dpo my tests were fainter and just got fainter and fainter and I lost it at just over 5 weeks. I was so so devastated because I’ve always relied on lines getting darker being a good thing.
I was so heartbroken and still am now. Think I would be about 20 weeks pregnant now and Instead I’m still ttc. The miscarriage was 4 cycles ago now and not fallen Pregnant since which concerns me but all I can do is keep trying and just pray pray pray so so hard my rainbow is coming. Even tho I feel as it’s now cycle 8 ttc I just feel like it’s never going to happen and my 43rd birthday is looming.

I really hope this is a sticky for you.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@salamander91 im so sorry about the bfn love. I’ve not heard of those supplements.
I’ve just started taking Galatanised maca root again which I really feel helped my youngest to stick because b4 I was on that I kept having chemical after chemical after chemical.
Then started the galatanised maca and Folate After the 4th chemical and that was on November 1st 2020. Then fell pregnant again in January 2021. I also took baby aspirin from 10dpo when I first had lines with him.

I did start the aspirin again at 10dpo in June when I got lines and as my lines got blazing and I thought ah it must of been the aspirin that helped my youngest stick. But then I miscarried and the only thing I wasn’t taking at the time was the maca.

So I’ve started taking it again now and the coq10 but like you I’m worried it’s gonna mess up my cycle.
I really hope it don’t and I end up ovulating around my normal time.
I’m so hoping these work for me. I really hope yours work for you too love. I root for you so so much because u been trying for ages. I pray we ALL get our forever take home rainbow BFPs


Sending you so much healthy sticky baby dust love

Nice I used to use vitex and noticed it helped with regularity so I might try it again. The Myo inositol has helped me with my blood sugars I take it at night and a lil bit if I’ve eaten something during the day that I feel has spiked my blood sugar. I’ve noticed a difference with shorter cycles the last two months. @salamander91 xx
