TTC #3! Anyone welcome!!

[gigglebox]

Jl congratulations! When i was previously doing research on tests i did come across some statistics that stated the later the implantation, the higher risk of m/c (talking 12dpo and beyond), and earlier ones have a better chance. Obviously that doesn't guarantee the outcome but i think it's certainly a good sign to get such an obvious line this early! Eee!!! I am excited for you ^_^

 

[jlmeans0422]

Omg thats awesome to hear!!! Thank you for that info giggle. My only fear is what if I have a small amount of HCG in my system always and able to make a frer positive when its not actually positive. Time will only tell I cant wait to take the digi. What would make this even better is if some of these other tests i bought come out positive to. In previous cycles i have gotten positive frer but others were all negative

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

Oh dang! You must be one of those ladies that start off with 5 HCG in their system at all times.. If my FRER still had a line at 2 that was visible I can understand how it would show up nice at 5 .. I bet it will get darker though. GOOD LUCK hun!

 

[jlmeans0422]

Thank you Hoping- i wish I would have tested last cycle with a frer to see what that would have said but never really got that pregnant feeling like i have now so didnt bother testing. I bought a walgreens brand test, pink dye I will try tomorrow and we shall see if that gives me anything

 

[Babybump87]

Woop congratulations JL !!

 

[Babybump87]

I’ve just caved and done another test . BFN .

Now spotting pinkish discharge . AF due in 4 days . I might test again on Friday if it’s not AF just because I have one more test left lol

 

[jlmeans0422]

So this morning with FMU i used a easy@home and a walgreens brand of esrly response both BFN. I am really starting to feel like me and frer dont get along. I guess there is a chance its still to early for the other 2 test. I guess time will only tell

 

[Babybump87]

So many ladies have issues with frer tests . We all seen your BFP though !

You may be too early for those other tests . I’m sure your digi will settle your mind ! X

Hey guys, sorry I've been absent. I wasn't pregnant this month and now my mum has booked us a holiday with them for May so I'll be taking a break from TTC. If I had booked it myself I would have taken the chance on having to change/cancel it, but as she's paying and having to book her and her husband off work etc I don't feel like I should. Though it does somewhat feel like the universe has it in for me with this 5th baby lark.
I wish you all the best of luck TTC and hopefully I'll be back in the new year.

Hey ladies, I am new here. 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.

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

Sorry Motherofboys! A vaca sounds nice though. Maybe it will happen anyways if you just do the "Not trying not preventing"?

Sorry to hear JL but it could just be to early to pick it up. Try again tomorrow!


Goodluck Sarahann!

Thank you Hoping4numbr3!!! 9 years since dd was born and I was starting to lose faith. I just didn't and still don't know why my body has been having trouble. I have noticed some changes in the short 10 days that I have been on the b6. I started it last monday Cycle Day 1 AF arrived. Normally i bleed normally for a day or so followed by 5 or 6 days of spotting that comes and goes. This cycle while taking it, I've noticed that my stopped earlier with no spotting after day 5, and now on cycle day 10 my cervix is almost unreachable, soft, wet, and i think it is open. I have noticed way more discharge in the past two days also. Normally I have a 29-33 day cycle with ovulation on cycle day 20 or 21 with an 11 day luteal phase. Could the B vitamins be working this quickly, and could they move my O date up? Hopefully this is the beginning of a new path towards becoming pregant

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

I have heard it can help regulate your cycle naturally so hopefully it is working super quick for you!

I am hoping so too! 9 years since my last birth and it is starting to take its toll on me. I am seeing all of my friends and family members getting pregnant recently and it has made me feel inadequate. I have found comfort on here though as many women have had success after many more years of unexplained infertility. I am willing to bet my progesterone levels and my luteal phase are playing a big part. So heres to the B complex leading to a miracle bfp. I am really hoping that i am close to O seeing as my cervix is pretty unreachable and soft. Maybe if I o earlier My body and the vitamins will have time to provide a healthy place for egg to implant.

Sarah how many cycles have you been ttc? I don't have experience with trying to correct my cycle but I do normally have an 11 day LP and conceived this time on our 4th cycle trying.

 

[jlmeans0422]

Hoping- i am really hoping its just to early.

Sarahann- good luck! My youngest is 9 as well but we only started trying 4 months ago

Gigglebox: I wouldn't say we have actively been trying, more like not preventing. Either way though, we have been having unprotected sex for 6.5 years. I had two healthy pregnancies unexpectly and quick when i was 19 and 20. I am now 31. I was extremely underweight for most of the past nine years since dd birth. At 5'8 I only weighed 115-120 max with serious effort to gain. I can now proudly say that i am a healthy 145 lbs. I am leaning towards it being a luteal phase or low progesterone issue. My cycles vary from 28-32 days, and i seem to be ovulating late. My bbt has always been on the low side even after ovulation. I do not notice spotting before AF, but I will spot on and off for sometimes a week af FLO has gone. I have only been on the b complex for a total of 10 days now and i will say i noticed change immediatly. My period started on Monday of last week and by friday i was done both bleeding and spotting so thats a good thing in my book. Also, I mentioned above that i am a late ovulator. Apparently my body thinks ovulation should occur on cycle day 19-21, but today I am at cycle day 10 and already my cervix is so high that i cant quite reach it and it appears to be soft wet and open. I wonder if I am going to Ovulate early this month.

jlmeans0422, Thanks hun. My dd is 9 going on 10 next month and she has been bugging for a baby sister or brother. although we havent been actively trying for the past nine years, I was not preventing it either. after nine years and many pregnant friends and family members later, I am praying for a miracle. I had my youngest when i was just 20. I am now 31 and about to marry the man of my dreams, and I would love to have a child with him, I just pray my body cooperates.

 

[jlmeans0422]

Sarahann- we sound like we are in very similar boats. Only thing is after my youngest DD I had an IUD placed in and had an IUD in for a total of 8 years, just had it removed in Feb. My DH and I just got married April 22, 2017 and I have always been on the fence about having another baby (he has 3 girls to his ex, and I have 2) but I just feel this will complete us. I havent told anyone but my mom and sister that we are trying in case it doesn't happen. I had to have a LEEP procedure done and she warned me it could case issues conceiving.
I had my first daughter at 17 (wasnt trying so no clue how quick it happened) my youngest I was 21, i came off birth control 4th of july weekend and my 1st cycle I was pregnant. Now I am 30 and on cycle #5 of trying and although I got a positive frer I am not calling it til a different brand pops positive or a digi says pregnant

jlmeans0422, wow we really do seem to be in a similar situation. I too had the Mirena Iud put in after the birth of dd. However, I had mine removed within a year of having it put in due to bad pain. when they attempted to take it out they could not locate it and had to use ultrasound. A part of me thinks the IUD has something to do with why i am now having issues. I think it messed up my cycles and hormone balance completely. since coming off it in 2010 I briefly used bc pill but for about 7 years now i have not taken any type of bc. I was reading on here some women got their after 10+ years, so that gives me some hope.
