Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

KatieBee123

Hi everyone!

Welcome all newbies!

Celepie - sorry your lines haven’t gotten any darker

Afooolandhermoney - how nice other half is concerned for you like that! You’ll be well looked after for the next 9 months I’m sure!

Ladies I don’t know what to make of these opk sticks and tbh im slightly confused. The last few days I’ve take a couple a day. The morning result is always a darker negative and then evening is a lighter negative. Day 13 I thought I was getting close the opks were negative but very dark negatives so much so I took 2 that morning to ensure it wasnt a duff stick. Anyway next few days I go back to super light negatives, which was disappointing as I thought my levels must be rising to get darker negatives. This morning I then took two I rushed my first one so decided I had time to test again before work and it was the darkest negative I’ve had, again I was really pleased expecting to come home and test this evening possibly to a positive and the line is barely there :@

I am supposed to be in my fertile window but I’m not sure these opks are working for me. I will continue to test but I’m not sure I will be getting a positive from them this month. Next month I may invest in more expensive ones, unless by some miracle I get a full blown positive between now and AF. We have been BDing but tbh I don’t know if I have already ov’d or not so looks like this month is a write off

Sorry for the grumbling I’m just so disappointed

Hope everyone is looking forward to their weekend! X

tryingin2018 - welcome to the thread! We are all here for the same reason, to talk away to like minded people who know how we are feeling!

KatieBee123 - as long as you have BD'ed it isn't a complete write off! See how the OPKs go, fingers crossed you see the positive soon.

CD1 today for me. Brown spotting yesterday, which I was 99% sure was AF on the way but that one little % was still saying there was still a chance as it could be implantation bleeding. I was still really disappointed when AF arrived today, even though in my heart I knew we hadn't conceived. We timed everything perfectly so I find it frustrating that we haven't conceived. I don't like that we have no control over this! I am feeling very sorry for myself today.

Hello new people! Hope your stay here is short

Sorry AF got you, Kitty. Allow yourself some time to wallow. It’s tough.

As feared, I started bleeding heavily and cramping this morning so it wasn’t to be. I guess I’m on CD1 although AF wasn’t due for another day or two. Feel pretty devastated and wish I hadn’t tested as then I’d just assume it was a normal AF, but never mind. Really hoping we can do it this month and get a sticky bean.

Can I be moved into the "if in doubt" zone please.

I don't know what my body is up to. I had the 3 days of pink spotting (only when I wipe TMI!) then 2 days of bleeding. I'm usually a good 5dayer when AF arrives. Today I've had loads of watery CM so did an OPK and it was positive. On CD7 ??? I am the most regular OV CD14 and AF CD 28. What's happening :rotfl:

KatieBee123

Sorry to hear AF has shown PKK and Celepie

Toots I swear if we weren’t tracking or TTCing everything would be normal or go unnoticed, now we are interested in our cycles and taking note and looking for the slightest symptoms are cycles are playing havoc with us!

I’ve been trying to take my mind off all my negative opks today but I just feel a bit down and worried I may not ov at all. Thinking too much into things I think, but you can’t help but worry can you.

I’ll continue with my opks as I have enough for this cycle, Ovia predicts my fertile window up until Tuesday so there is still time I suppose although my other tracker that I’ve been using for longer predicted ov today but this obvz hasn’t happened.

Hope everyone is ok xx

Hey everyone

Celepie & PKK I'm sorry AF has arrived for you both, I know it's disappointing

Hi NelliePie & Tryingin2018, I'm new too and found the support here lovely

So I have to say I spent all last week thinking I'd struck it lucky and got pregnant straight after the coil came out. I'd all the symptoms, nausea, headache, the feeling, I tested daily and of course - - nothing! So still waiting on AF at some point soon so I can start tracking properly

Finding myself really emotional this week, just want something rather than nothing to happen

Hugs to those who AF found

Tmi but I've been suffering with a poorly tummy yesterday and still sore today . I don't think it's a sign of anything other than I maybe need better diet!

Today is CD26, looking at my history on apps it would appear I usually have sore boobs by now before AF, but they still feel ok to me. It is only early still I guess though and I'm not sure that would mean anything either!

Apps disagreeing on AF date - so it's 5-7 days away.

Talking of AF has anyone here tried mooncup? I was considering it but hoped to get pregnant soon so perhaps not worth the investment, although the rate I'm going i probably could lol (or buying one would make me get a bfp haha, it's like at work when waiting for someone making a cup of tea usually does the trick)

Munchkin84

Buy one and get your bfp. That’s the sort of thing that happens to me too

KatieBee I didn't see a LH surge in December. I did some googling and it doesn't always mean you didn't ovulate and there were some bfp success stories.
I got a clear LH surge this month so it might be easier to catch next month.
Also hopefully there aren't issues but if there are when you see gp having this kind of information might make them more likely to help I hope? If I'm still ttc in September I will definately be mentioning that I'm not sure I'm ovulating every month
