TTC #3! Anyone welcome!!

[jellybeanxx]

I did my first test yesterday BFN.

Not going to test now until at least Friday. I’ve had AF type cramps for the last 3 days. Cervix is still high and kinda firm . Not sure if checking actually means anything ? Anyone know ?

I so hate the week AF is due. I find it incredibly frustrating and long !

The cervix is supposed to drop low before AF and go higher when you’re pregnant. I was convinced I was out in my last pregnancy as my cervix wasn’t that high. It was a while after my BFP until it went higher. Apparently it can move throughout the day as well as throughout your cycle. I always get confused by my cervix
Hope the time passes quickly for you. Time definitely seems to slow down whilst TTC.

Yup I defo find anxiety goes up after having kids I have had health anxiety I’m really scared of dying or anthing happening to my kids. I think it might stem from losing my parents so young my dad died when I was 6 and my mom when I was 21 and I’ve lost both my grandparents on my moms side and I was really close to my nan. And like you said having kids makes us more worried x
No more spotting here fingers crossed it stays away x

I am very sorry you are all dealing with anxiety, however it does make me feel a little less crazy that this appears to be common with moms!

BB I wouldn't put stock in your cervix. It's pretty good for predicting fertile days but not pregnancy. As was said, it can change well after a positive test.

Yeah do not worry about the cervix. It moves to much during the day to know. I have come to realize this. I can tell you that before I got my positive this cycle I was super DRY CM wise and that is totally unusual for me. They say that happens before AF but I was always wet. Gross I know sorry guys. Anywho.. my FITBIT told me I had ovulated and was pregnant and even is telling me now about the loss.. Crazy! Yay Donna! Hope the bleeding stops and you ovulate. I am still having the slight ovulating pain feeling. So strange lol body doesn't know what to do.


Giggle= THAT IS exactly what they want haha! We like the romance they just want the sex.

 

[gigglebox]

Woooah what?! Fitbits can do all that??? How?!

Do you have any opk's just to make sure you're not ovulating early?

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

Well Giggle they said it is inconclusive from everything I have seen but some people swore by it so I kept an eye on my charts from fitbit. You have to have one that can do the heart rate monitor. If I can figure out how to do a screen shot I can show you what I mean but it is similar to how the AVA bracelet works I imagine. SO basically my resting heart rate is normally 60 or 59 sometimes it gets to 55 but anyways this cycle it slowly climbed up every day from 59 to 69. It dropped down two days before I got my positive which I assume was implantation (the attempt) then went back up again and after I started bleeding it dropped from 68/69 to 65 (hcg of 2 at rhr of 65) and today it is back to 63 (totally negative test)

My previous cycles never had a climb up .. They would be choppy looking like wave. So since this one climbed up and up I tested and boom. So I expect if I am pregnant again it will go up and up and up and not fall until a little after my body is used to the pregnancy.

and no I do not have any OPKS right now but that is okay. We DTD very often so we should be fine getting pregnant again if meant to happen lol

Yeah I’ve come to realise cervix checking means nothing haha . It’s here there and everywhere I’ve noticed !

That’s interesting to know Hoping and how amazing is the Fitbit I’ve not got one personally but read many stories of women finding out they are pregnant because they wear one !

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

Yes it is pretty cool Babybump!!

So I took an ovulation test and I either ovulated already or am about to cuz the line is pretty dark but not there yet! WOOT WOOT I would say it may be picking up the HCG but my Frer was negative this am so should be gone pretty much

Hey ladies I am new here. below is a little bit about my current situation. I am hoping to make some new friends on this journey. So many of my friends and family members seem to be getting pregnant and it would be nice to have people to talk to that understand what i am going through.

I am the proud mamma of two babes ages 11 and 9, but I am having trouble this time around. I never had any issues getting pregnant with my first two, so this go around has really got me feeling hopeless. I have been doing a lot of research and it appears as though i have a luteal phase of about 11 days. I know drs say a lp of 10 days is good but many fertility specialist say that a lp of 12-14 is ideal. I am currently on cycle day 9 and I started taking a 100mg of vitamin B6 on cycle day one of this cycle. I have heard many great things of b complex vitamins helping women to get the bfp they dream of. My question is do any ladies out there have the same issue or has anyone had bfp success after starting B vitamins for luteal phase defect. any advice or even support from other ttc'rs would be wonderful. Seeing all of my friends and family members getting pregnant really makes me feel down.

I think i just got my BFP but nervous as I worry I am one of those weird ones who pops a positive frer test. I did an easy@home this morning stark negative and the frer was taken on maybe a 2-2.5 hour hold. I just feel pregnant this round but trying to not get my hopes up

Hi ,

Welcome ! Good luck with your journey . It’s hard when other people are pregnant before you.

 

[jlmeans0422]

Of course I just had to get on my laptop so I could resize the pictures. Its still very light but I can def see pink but I won't officially call it until a digital tells me I am pregnant and I probably have 3-5 days before I use them.

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

I SEE IT!!! Early congrats!!!

Hope it is a sticky one JL!


You should be able to get a positive FRER GOLD digi soon to say YES!

 

[jlmeans0422]

Hoping- can you see it in post above yours?

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

Hi I edited my post lol sorry! I think I was behind on the comments and it loaded right after I saw your test!

 

[jlmeans0422]

All good that is what i had assumed. I am hopeful but nervous. Cycle 3 I didnt get a positive til 12dpo and here I am 7 to 9 dpo and have a faint positive but I wont call it true till the digital tells me. Im going to take the first response digi on thursday. It says 5 days before and my period is due between the 1st and 3rd.

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

OOO a positive that early! GOOD I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

 

[jlmeans0422]

I know I was surprised when it popped so early. I may have to sneak out tonight and buy another pack of frer to test with till I can us my digi

 

[donnarobinson]
