Welcome to Trying To Conceive #1

[ttcbabyisom]

Hi everyone! Have you guys ever spotted before AF and then spotted before your BFP? Last Sunday I had a sharp pain in my right side and then went to the ladies and had a drop of blood. Continued spotting brown for 3 or 4 days. AF is due on Monday. So frustrating! GL everyone!

Yes and yes! Good luck!!!

Hello ladies!

I am 32 and my hubby is 29. We got married last June. We have only just started TTC. I am CD 13, have only just started OPKs 2 days ago (it's possible I may have missed it) so no idea when I O, or if I am already a few dpo. I have a cycle between 23 and 27 days, so it might be a nightmare to pin point. We have bd'd the 2nd, 3rd and 4th and will again tonight. So fingers crossed we have guessed the window right!

Anyone else in a similar situation? Can't wait to be a mama and make some other mama friends.

welcome mama2014 and best of luck to you hun!!!

Hi everyone, I'm new here. We've been TTC #1 for a year and I'm about to give up hope.

I'm 33, hubby is 39. I chart, do opks, vitex, etc.

I'm currently 2 days late for AF, but only have BFNs and got a temp drop this morning, so am waiting for AF to show later today.

I'm making an appointment with the doctor today to see if we have any fertility issues.

Hi to all! I look forward to following your TTC adventures!

welcome brinbrin!! hopefully you will find this site helpful. i know i have! i've been on her for a little over a month & it's so nice to be able to talk to/vent to other women who are in the same boat.

my dh & i have been TTC since september 2013. he's 36, i'm almost 32. i used OPK's in Oct, but never got a smiley it might have been user error though, because i forgot that i wasn't supposed to drink anything for 4 hours, so who knows.

i started temping in feb. for the first time. never saw a spike. but my dr. told me she thought i was ovulating because my cycles have been so normal (28-31 days at most). coincidentally, this month is the first month where i've had an irregular cycle (currently on CD34), but i've taken to HPTs (1 on day 31 & 1 on day 32) both BFN, so who knows what's going on!

Enough about me, i know you're feeling frustrated. just wanted to let you know you're not alone hopefully your dr. can give you some answers! my dr. told me last night that she won't refer me to anyone until we've been TTC for a year. it's so not fair!

also, you mentioned vitex...i think that's the same as chasteberry, which i've thought about taking. did someone recommend that to you, or did you do your own research...just curious

Good Morning Ladies..!!

Just joined here so wish me luck As it stands I'm currently 16dpo and so far I've had 3 BFNs Currently trying for my first - partner and I are both 25 and have been TTC since December 2013 so this is all new to me! I'm trying not to symptom spot but I'm usually pretty good on my due date and now I'm 2 days late which no indication of the witch showing her head I'm a little confsed...! But by reading these posts we all seem to be somewaht confused! Just wondering if any one has had a BFN at 15/16dpo but still gone onto a BFP? I'm using IC to test at the moment and had a very very faint BFP yesterday morning on one but I'm convienced was a evap line.

Sticky baby dust to you all thanks in advnace for your replies! xxx

Hey Girls

I'm looking for some advice please

Ok so I have 28 day cycles roughly.

I don't temp as I've never really got on with it.
I use OPK tests but never get a positive, usually the 1 line goes to 2 for 2 days and then back to 1. (I've heard that as there is an increase this is the same as a positive OPK for some women) I've had a 21 day blood tests which has confirmed I do ovulate.

This month we bd every other day cd8-cd16 and I'm now on cd20 or I think 7dpo.
For the last 3 days I've had bad AF type pains in the tummy and pelvis, bachache and bad nausea (I do get nausea around o due to the hormones).

I decided to temp for a couple of days to see if my temp is rising like I think it's meant to before AF - my temps have been cd17 35.65, cd18 35.90, cd19 36.06 and today 36.57

Randomly I read that a positive OPK once you have ovulated could mean pregnancy - so I took an OPK at 9.30 today (I know that was stupid as the hormone may be high because it's early morning but usually if I take one early it's still neg) I think I'm just hoping and being irrationally.

So my question is what do you think?
Also when before AF should the temp rise drop off to show she is coming??

Thanks in advance for your thoughts - I'm soooo confused x

 

[Phoenix82]

Just an update, I've just been to the bathroom and have just had quite a lot if clumpy white cm, no odour ?? (Sorry if tmi) I'm just really confused

 

[ashntony]

Well, my DH and I are putting the breaks on TTC... My AF is late. However on the 25th and the 26th I will begin testing....

 

[Cuddles28]

confused!! I'm a day late but finally got regular periods a few months ago so a little confused as to what to do.......doesn't help that I have pcos, celiacs and i'm a diabetic aswell! (i know sucks to be me) Just wondered how long i should wait before i do a pregnancy test

 

[Phoenix82]

[ashntony]

Edit on my post 2 days ago. I miscounted. M cycle was 37 days last time! Still going in to have a check up so hopefully I will learn something...

 

[Cuddles28]

Done a test this morning BFN yet still hasn't turned up and she's 5 days late......going out of my mind doesn't even come close!!!! As I've said before been normal for a while so shouldn't have missed one. Not sure what to do as one of my friends said her pregnancy didn't show a positive for a few weeks do i test again monday or leave it a couple of weeks?????

Hello! im new to this site. Hubby and i have been ttc for two years. I'm 24 but have been diagnosed with pcos. I have been on Metformin prescribed by my obgyn for almost 2 months and havn't gotten preg yet. I met with a fertility specialist today and she has set a plan up for me. when i get my next period, I will go in and get on Letrozole. My Dr says i have nothng to worry about with this drug as far as side effects go, but im looking it up and seeing people saying it causes birth defects. I havnt seen any studies saying this, just women who have used it. Does anyone have any experience with Letrozole that they wouldnt mind sharing>?
thanks ladies

I'm on Metformin for my pcos aswell but have never taken Letrozole when do you start?? Can you let us know how you get on and if you get a BFP please!! I'm using clomid again but found it didn't work first time round so giving it another go before ivf in june fingers are very much crossed for you!!!

 

[courtlynn123]

Im very new to blogging, but I always look online for some inspiration. I've been TTC for almost 2 years with my fiance , but never received a positive test. I started clomid on March 5, 2013 and Im currenlty in my clomid fertile days. I basically need to know if anyone ever tried clomid and had success with it. Im on my first cycle and Im very anxious to see if I will get a positive test result. Thanks ladies!!

 

[courtlynn123]

test results yet??
