[sla545]

Morning ladies, to all the that sucks...but still early so let's keep fx!

Allismom, woohoo on the !!!

My good news....on Friday I thought I had some very slight spotting but figured it was probably wishful thinking because there was nothing Sat. But Sunday morning there was def some spotting and continued light spotting throughout the day. AF still hasn't made a full appearance but I think she's anytime now. Such a relief! I just want to get on to a fresh cycle and hope I actually o this time!!!!

Excited for you MamaMac!! Hopefully she gets you today!! Then you, runnergrl and I will be really close for July testing!

Count me in for July testing also, although I may not actually test as I have none left and don't intend to buy any more unless I Defo Feel more pregnant! cd 2 today so hopefully only 12 more days until O day! Come on girls let's get some more bfp's Xx

Sweet!! So excited for this month to fly by!

[mimismom]

I have found waiting for O has been way easier than waiting for AF! (so far anyway) I guess I just know that if I have something to pee on and hoping this is my last AF for a while helps me stay positive, lol!

 

[IsaacRalph]

on FRER
I feel so sick today too, wish my body would stop doing this to me

Total bummer! You sound like me a few days ago just glad I haven't got to go through it for a while yet. Hopefully it will come soon Xx

Agree i'm well chilled! I'm guessing it took about 5-6 months to get pregnant with my ds so anything around then would be good Xx jeep positive

I agree! For me at least, waiting to O is really only about a week, since I dont start paying attention until after AF leaves. Waiting for AF is a nightmare! We are moving in about 4-6 weeks (not sure when our house will be done yet) and I am so grateful that I have distractions like packing and complaining that they did something wrong and need to fix it with the build! It is helping to take my mind off the waiting game. I also work Mon-Fri so I don't normally think about it a whole lot during the day since I stay so busy. I hope I get a BFP before we move though, cause once we move we dont have anything going on for the rest of the summer and that will make it really hard to go through more cycles!

 

[mimismom]

Thank Isaacralph im trying to. Im trying who knew 2 Weeks could be so cruel lol

i find the 2 or 3 days right before you expect AF to be absolute torture. I hate the constant am I or aren't I that I do in my head. At least when AF comes I know one way or another!

I find that I'm starting to get a little less stressed about TTC. I mean I still think about it constantly but I find that I'm not as negative as I was the first couple of months. It sucks that it's taking so long but I think I'm handling it better now.
I've learned that the relaxed approach just doesn't work for me since I ovulate on different days each cycle and I need to know what I'm ovulating so I feel like I have at least some control over the process. But I've also decided to stop temping after I have a good confirmed thermal shift because after that I'll just be looking for implantation dips and triphasic patterns.

I'm with you girl! I'm on my 5 month tcc too and it Defo gets easier. I don't chart for the first 7 days of cycle, then confirm ovulation then stop temping otherwise it drives me mad x

 

[HappyCpl]

Another BFN for me too. I swear I keep seeing a super faint line... But I think it's my eyes playing tricks. Even if it is super faint, I won't believe it till its darker anyways.

Why do we torture ourselves??

I get that all the time especially on internet cheapies! Is there a line, isn't there? Holding up in different light etc. Yup we certainly do torture ourselves but I intend to chill this month! Holidays at start of July will help take my mind of it all. How many dpo are you now?

I am between 10-12 DPO. I wasn't temping so I'm not sure of the exact date. First + OPK was on 6/06 (CD20) and I got + on 6/7 & 6/8 as well.

Hi ladies it been long time since i logged on .. im been really sick since 2 weeks . well today makes me 28 days late so im really confused .. im been having fever and cough so severe . but me and my hubby are still trying to conceive for baby # 3 do yall have any pointers ...thanks

 

[Hann12]

Happycpl you def still have time to get your BFP! Could happen in the next couple of days!!

I know what you mean about the Internet cheapie tests - you can see the line if you look carefully so it has to be properly dark to trust them! It's the same for opks. I'm now getting lines for opk but not as dark as the test line so I'm assuming I still have to wait for my positive opk. I'm BD'ing every 1-2 days anyway just to be sure I get it. No ewcm though, but have had some ovulation pains. Urghh I hate all this guessing, wish we just knew more to help us get pregnant easily!!

 

[marieb]

Anyone else get lots of fertile signs before a +OPK?

I'm having watery cm and my cervix is high, soft and open but I have a very -OPK only a hint of a second line.

Yup I get ewcm from about cd 9/10 ovulate around cd 15, also get ovary pain days before too which I gather is ovary stretching rather than ovulating cuz this is always way before +opk

 

[mummyclo]

I think AF will be here by the end of the week! So hormonal and getting crampy sort of pains now. Still too!
I very much dislike TTC today!

Funny you posted this, I get pains too, I have no idea if they arrive before, during or after ov, however still no positive opk (not checked today) and I have had the pains on and off for a few days. The pains I get tend to arrive mid month and stay until AF, they aren't continuaos though. I hope that now the pains are getting stronger maybe I'll get a positive opk. Having said that still no ewcm but then again as we've dtd a lot I've had a lot of stuff so maybe I've missed it. Argghh I have no clue lol!

Yeah i get pains that start about cd 11 until about a day after I ovulate, the day of ovulation being the most painful and it really hurts to BD. Hope bfp happens soon cuz like before its starting to be not so enjoyable

 

[Hann12]

I know what you mean, I'm okay for now but if I end up in months of it I will not be so happy! I'm more bothered at the moment with when I'm ovulating and if theres an issue at the moment.
I'm now taking opks twice a day as I saw another thread where someone took one once a day and missed it, and another person did hers 3 hours apart and got the surge and then 3 hours later it was back to a faint line.
