No kidding. That is just not right. Seriously NOT RIGHT!

Just wanted to rant that my post-labour bleeding won't stop! I want my AF so I can start TTC!

I'm on my second cycle of clomid and Im using ovulation kits so I know I ovulated this cycle (I hadn't on my first cycle).

On cd 28 I started spotting brown blood so assumed it was my period starting... 5 days later however, no period! Just on and off spotting - if you can even call it that (only when I wipe sometimes). I took a preg test a few days ago and negative, so I've ruled that out.

My doctor told me to wait till the 2nd day of full flow before I can start my next cycle but I don't seem to be starting! I have no symptoms whatsoever... anyone have any clue or been through anything similar?

Desperate for some answers so that I can have a better shot at getting pregnant.

... I just wish my body was working properly

 

[littlegirl87]

try waiting a few days and then take another test just to make sure! It can take quite some time for the HCG to reach your urine!

I'm taking a break this month, as per my dh's request. He wants to make sure his job is stable enough for us to have a baby. I understand that, but I feel like its never going to happen. That we have to give 100% every time. I want to be in every cycle not out from the beginning. I just want to be counted in, you know?

I hear you... I feel like that as well when my husband tells me we should take a break or stop focusing on it so much because its starting to get in the way of our happiness.

Sometimes a break might be good and you never know.. it could still be the month things happen!

My husband and I are in our second month TTC. We got preg two months before that and I lost the baby after about 3 weeks. I have an ovulation tracker on my phone, but I can always feel it when I'm ovulating. My husband and I BD every day, so hopefully it'll happen for us! Any tips would be appreciated!

I know I posted this in my journal thread a few days ago, but it still bothers me. So I'm just going to leave this lovely quote here, that was said to/half-way shouted at me a few days ago. I think it speaks for itself:

"SO ARE YOU FREAKIN' PREGNANT YET OR WHAT?? YOU'RE TRYING, AREN'T YOU??"

 

[littlegirl87]

firefly that is crazy....I hope you punched whoever said that to you in the face


just saying

 

[Phoenix82]

That is insane!!! How bloody rude.

I would have been devastated - unfortunately a lot of people are insensitive

Today I had my fertility appointment, so I rock up only to find it's in the maternity section if the hospital REALLY!!

Great idea, put the people that are struggling to get pregnant in with the people that are pregnant, that's a great idea - idiots!

I would have loved to, unfortunately it was in the workplace. Which, IMO is even worse, because really how unprofessional is that? But this person is well known for their brusque personality so I brushed it off and left.

I wish people would realize how rude or hurtful it can be to ask in the first place, even if you do it nicely. If I haven't said anything, then clearly I'm either not (and don't want the reminder) or I've chosen not to share yet. I promise I wouldn't just "forget" if I was.

[hopingnhoping]

Advice pls!?!?

Miscarriage in march. No period april but came may and june. Now im 13 days late this month. At 7 days i took a test BFN. Yesterday i took another (12 days late) & i got a extremely faint line on two tests.. looked like indents though so i just tossed em both.... around 11am i then went to restroom and when i wiped i noticed bright red blood but very little and by third wipe there was nothing. Still today i have no bleeding. What could that have been? Could i have ovulated later than i thought!? Also i have been cramping, using restroom a lot and my lower back aches. Could i still be in the run for this month or no?? I will test again in 3 days of AF doesnt show... Im just extremely confused. Im really hoping for my BFP this time.

Hey,
My husband (34yrs) and I (33yrs) have been TTC for about a year now. I tracked symptoms and temps like a mad woman at the beginning, but had to stop because it became overwhelming. I had a loss in my family and had a super stressful past year (moving states, buying first house, wedding, horrible job, car accident, gained 30 lbs). My doctor and I discovered that I had a few anovulatory cycles due to bouts of depression from my brother passing away and all of the stress noted above.
Fast forward and my grieving process has become more tolerable, we've moved and are more settled, the wedding is over and I took a month off from working because I am starting a new job in a week. I feel like I am in a better position now to full force TTC. I am going to track temps again, symptoms and take Ovulation tests. I am also going to schedule that 3 day after AF test with my doctor. She feels that I will have no problem getting pregnant because my cycles are 29 days exactly every cycle for years (except those anovulatory cycles last year), but honestly I DON'T BUY IT!! We've been BD every month during the times when I am ovulating and NOTHING is happening. Not one sore BB, not one symptom and I am PISSED. My husband and I are frustrated. I often think that I will never get pregnant and I'll never feel what it is like to be a mother. I am SUPER FRUSTRATED.

Does anyone have any advice? What worked for you? Did you eat certain things, consistently exercise, drink more fluids, cut anything out?

Best
EB

Hopinghoping - how many dpo do you think you are?
You may have ovulated later this cycle hence the faint lines. If I were you I'd get a digital test (I know they cost a bit but it's less guess work). If it was a faint line thats still positive (usually they take some time to show properly). Can you take a pic and put it up so we can take a look?

Or get bloods done at the gps to confirm.

Eiffelbebe big hugs sweetie, I know it's tough and nothing I say will make it feel better but I'll tell you what I did differently then maybe it will help you. My ttc journey was 13 months and I was beside myself before I got my bean (I'm now almost 6 weeks and hoping for a sticky bean).

After 10 months of ttc with no luck I decided to buy a fertility monitor which picks up 2 diff hormones rather then the one on ovulation sticks. Within 3 months we got there.

Using this and not temping or using any other form of monitoring we did the SMEP and it worked. Let me know if you want it explained (just don't want to teach you to suck eggs if you know what it is)

The 2 weeks after my ovulation I had pineapple everyday, I've also been on multivits for conception.

I thought I was out as I had spotting right before AF but AF never showed. I'm having odd light beige spotting but have been told not to worry unless it's red. The first few weeks are scary as it's constant worry lol and I thought the BFP would be the worst wait but waiting for a scan us far worse
Fingers crossed for you xxx

EiffelBebe when hubby and I were first trying our doctor suggested a diet high in folic acid so maybe try adding some of these foods into your diet. Such as lentils, leafy greens,citrus, asparagus,kidney beans , broccoli and avocado. Hope everything works out for you!

I'm new to this site but I needed some advice which I would be very grateful. Here's the situation.. Hi, I am now 5 days late for my period, But I'm getting negative pregnancy test results after taking one every day, Iv had cramping for just over a week and a half now and still nothing, This is unusual to me. I'm slightly more tired and iv had more discharge than normal.. Is there still a chance I could be pregnant??

 

[EiffelBebe]

Well, I feel like I am in better spirits today. I have come to terms with getting a BFN and am just waiting for AF to come along and punch me! I'm excited about the next month and doing everything I can to improve my chances. I really appreciate all of the advice from Phoenix82 & Babymoma89!

Phoenix82 - You're such a doll. I have not yet done a fertility monitor, but am now going to Amazon to buy one! I have been off of work for about a month and not in a routine or schedule so starting Monday, I am going to start making those fertility smoothies with LOTS OF PINEAPPLE and up my vitamins (besides the prenatal I already take) I am crossing my fingers for you and your bean. Good luck with your scan. I'll think good thoughts for you from over the pond!

Babymoma89 -Hey! I really appreciate the advice. I am going to incorporate more folic acid items into my diet. It's like I really do know what to eat and what to do to be healthier, but I've got side tracked. I have to be ALL IN! You know what I mean?

Have a great day, ladies!
