TTC buddies :)

[Pitbullmom29]

I'm 23 and me and my husband are trying for our first! I am looking for buddies as well I am kinda young and no one is really going through what I am. We are two months in but no BFP. AF just ended so yay! Now comes the fun part of trying again. I don't know how people do this for years and years with no results. I am already exhausted. Anyway here's to hoping this month is different! IF anyone wants to be buddies I am available!

Hi Pitbullmom!

I'm 25 and also TTC#1. I'm going on a year next month.....and trust me it's the roller coaster that just keeps going!...hopefully you don't have to stay on the TTC ride too long though. How are you tracking your cycles?

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Oh wow a year! Best of luck! I am using an app called OVIA and I track my symptoms. Hoping that it's right if no luck this month then I will get OPK

have you heard of or read about tracking your body temperature? I'd recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility . Super good and informative read!! Could help you along your journey are your cycles usually regular?

Hi pitbull! Good luck on your ttc journey. I'm a bit older, 32 and been ttc for a year now with PCOS. I really hope your journey is a lot shorter than what ours has been cause it's definitely not an easy rollercoaster to ride,very emotionally draining. But it will all be worth it in the end...fx!

I haven't actually but I may check it out. Yes they are very regular. Always have been.

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Good luck to you! Hopefully you get a positive very soon!

Hi ladies, I'm also trying for #1. I'm 25 so I know what you mean about how nobody you know is going through the same things. We started trying in July, bfp second cycle but that ended at 5+3 unfortunately. We were trying again right away and I was actually really confident but now af is 8 days late and no positive so I'm waiting for af and getting really frustrated that she is late. Just want to start trying again! I'm totally needing some solid buddies for this journey!

 

[Pitbullmom29]

The waiting is the worst! I hate how I have to wait 2 weeks for AF and then still need to wait another 2 weeks to try again. I should be getting ready to ovulate again so I am feeling hopeful! IT is hard when no one seems to understand what we are going too.

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Ovulation should be coming this week. I am hopeful this is the month. Just found out another girl I know is now pregnant and I just want to it to be my time. I know I need to be patient and others want it just as much but it's hard.

 

[MissYogi]

Pitbull- it's completely understandable to feel frustrated when hearing about other ladies getting pregnant. The desire to be pregnant is almost a physical pain isn't it?

So I finally spotted just a little bit after bding on Saturday night so I assumed that af would follow but so far I haven't had any more spotting today. Now af is 10 days later than my normal cycle. I guess I'm not necessarily out yet, I'll probably test on Tuesday again if no af.

 

[Pitbullmom29]

It really is a physical pain! Good luck hopefully you get a bfp! You have much more patience than I do. I would have tested already.

Oh I've tested already, tons. I just kept getting negatives and since it's the first post mc cycle I don't know if I ovulated. When I got a bfn when af was 8 days late I assumed I was definitely out, and then I spotted, but now no more spotting. I'll test tomorrow again if she doesn't show today, but it just feels unlikely because of all my negatives before. I'm just in limbo because I don't know if af is actually late, or if my cycle is just messed up

Ah I gotcha! I know what you mean. I got OPK and it was low! My app says I am in my fertile window so I am unsure of what this means. I do have a feeling that I O before my app says but I have no clue.

 

[Pitbullmom29]

So so confused lol. My app pointed to me O last week. I got an OPK and I tested Tuesday and it said low which I was shocked about. I finally got a positive on Friday which is when my app said my window would be over. I got a high result friday, saturday and today. This is CD19. AF is due the 3rd. I am having trouble finding out when I actually O.

I am 24 and TTC been trying for about 2 years now but still no BFP. i'm not giving up hope though!

Oh wow! That's crazy! Good don't give up hope. I'm still struggling to figure out when I O lol

Pitbull- have you been temping? Most apps will assume you ovulate on day 14 before they learn about your cycle. You could very possibly ovulate on day 19 instead though which the app wouldn't know until after a few cycles. If you temp it will be easier to pinpoint ovulation for next cycle.

Mikomi- I'm so sorry it's taken so long for you, that must be so frustrating. Have you gone for any fertility treatments or tests?

 

[Pitbullmom29]

I do not temp. I input my data and it says it helps which I am sure it does. If I don't find results with my OPK then I will start to temp. I do believe I O later in my cycle than I originally thought.

i have seen the Dr and have an appointment to discuss tests and such on the 2nd but it has been a long wait so far
