Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

Claire_A87

So sorry to read what you're going through rachy. Sending big hugs.

Well I've not even Ov'd yet this month and we'll be out. My OH has a fairly bad infection in a rather critical region (!), so he can barely walk let alone do anything else. I'm going to use this month to try and get in a bit better shape. My weight is fine but I'm not eating well, so I want to get a bit healthier. Losing a little bit of weight couldn't hurt before the xmas binge either! It completely dropped off me after having my LB but I've just been snacking on rubbish to make me feel better about not sleeping, so it's creeping up a bit.

Hope you're all ok xx

Rachy I am so sorry you are going through this. I wish I could tell you if/when it will all work out but I can't. I've been where you are and I know how you feel. I have everything crossed for you and sending lots of love x

I've just been to the loo and have some pink/reddy CM so think AF is starting as this is what usually happens.


Annoying as I had what I thought was implantation spotting and having never had that before it got my hopes up , and being a day late as well. Can't ever see this happening for me! x

Sorry AF's on her way B]A0503[/B]. It's so frustrating.

TTC certainly sends us in to crazy mode analysing every small change and even the things that happen every month just to see if it's usual.

Agree Athensgeorgia - I find myself wish that it was like the old days and we didn't have so much information at our fingertips. I need to stop reading about BBTs and whether the implanatation dip is real! I had a temp dip at 7DPO and my temp has been up the last two mornings, but I generally think so many factors must affect your BBT reading.

AF probably due somewhere around Monday for me (which would be CD30). If she hasn't arrived by then, I'll test, though I'm sort of thinking about testing on Saturday or Sunday because I'm impatient! At least if AF arrives, it'll be a wake up call to not read too much into everything next cycle!

FX for you then Ratison that AF doesn't show at all. I normally have no will power to wait to test. I definitely have a poas addiction although the past couple of cycles I've not felt that positive so didn't test at all.

2nd November last year (which was a Sunday) I wasn't TTC, AF was due and my boobies were really sore and thought I should test. Finally got around to it and tested on the Wednesday and got a BFP. I'm really feeling the grief of the loss. I'm also thinking sod's law says this is our cycle.

Fingers crossed for you ratison, I agree so much info readily available isn't always helpful.
Sorry AF is on her way A0503
Athens sending hugs, it's never easy.

I know I found that the only real thing different for me BFP month symptom wise was my boobs growing and becoming veiny. Since our MC's this year all other PMS symptoms got stronger and were very similar to pregnancy ones, which seems really mean of mother nature. I have fingers and toes crossed for everyone xx

Thanks all, AF arrived today so can only guess I ovulated later than usual. That is one of the benefits to using OPKS because if you know you ovulated later you can expect AF later.


I have realised though that I am only on cycle 7 which has made me feel a bit better. I thought I was going onto cycle 9/10.


So I won't have much to add on here for a while as I'll be waiting for AF to finish then be ovulating. Will still be reading and hopefully adding congratulations to those who get Bfps this month! x

Hey all

GP was great and is doing blood tests to check hormones, first one this week and the second at the end of cycle. FSH was mentioned but that's it so I don't know if they are both that test or different. Does anyone know? And did anyone find abnormality with theirs?

Next step is SA but may wait a little while longer for that, I don't want OH to think I am making all the decisions. He is very supportive and this is affecting him too but that feels like a big step at the moment and one he needs to be ready for. Could maybe leave that until after Christmas.

Counselling was good. We will have up to 8 sessions fortnightly. It's good to talk to someone who won't tell me 'It will happen' or 'stop being so stressed'. She will help me to handle my stress better and I know that starts with relaxing a bit more so will certainly try.

What is majorly frustrating though is I didn't lose weight this week on SW. So annoyed it's taking so long to shift just a half stone and I want to lose one and a half
