Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

Thanks slothsocks I might try a test but I don't want to get my hopes up...

Good to hear from you, let us know how ivf goes

I'm quite open about things so I don't really mind people knowing I'm ttc the difficulty for me is some ask how it's going when clearly I would tell them if there was news I wanted to share.... I don't mind that much though . I wouldn't want everyone k owing but closest friends and family are part of support system and if I'd tell them if we miscarried may as well tell them once I'm pregnant I figure.

I don't mean to get your hopes up if I shouldn't Selement but I would also say test in a few days if AF doesn't put in a further appearance. I had a day of bleeding a couple of days before AF was due, wrote the month off, got put in the wine and chocolate zone (probably consumed both). Felt really out of sorts a couple of days later so tested then and got a solid positive. I'd had the full on cramps and everything. All must have just been the implantation in hindsight. Good luck to you x

I didn't tell anyone we were trying, MIL knew we wanted a family and DH didn't lie but I think that was helpful, she is tactful with these things and I think he needed to talk to someone about the issues we had. We told family after 12 week scan and the rest of the world after 20 week scan. Can make it a bit harder to tell people if they had no idea you were trying, but I find it's a very personal thing, and if I'd told people when we started trying then I also would have had to tell people when we found a problem. No-one else needs to know about my excessively frequent heavy periods!

Baby dust to you all x

CD8 or maybe 7 for me, can't actually remeber! And so the ov tracking begins! Fingers crossed. My CM is doing stuff so seems I'm back to some sort of normal following stopping the pill, just need to time DTD right, we've got people staying this weekend so not sure it'll happen!

Selement - I have found my AF can be different every cycle since I came off the pill. Sometimes I spot before, sometimes after, once it was so light I wasn't even sure I would class it as AF! I hope the fact you had other symptoms too means it was a positive outcome for you like slothsocks and LavenderBee say, I just wanted to give you another view.

CD11 for me today. I am going to hold off until CD13 before starting my OPKs just to make sure I have enough to last me. I have the same holder as last month which will have saved my baseline so I'm hoping that means I am ok to start a day later than suggested. I OV on CD20 last month so it gives me a leway of a day as I have 9 sticks left which will take me to CD21 if I start on CD13. We have DTD two days again and will be doing it tonight, going to aim for every other day again until OV.

13 dpo for me. Testing negative. Lots of crampy niggly feelings so think AF will be with me in next few days.

Don!!!8217;t think it!!!8217;ll be too long as I!!!8217;ll be joining you with AF ladies feeling really crappy and usual AF symptoms think I!!!8217;ve been over symptom spotting because I want this so much, I will test Wednesday as planned but right now not very hopeful xx

PrettyKittyKat

Sorry the signs aren't looking good for you ladies. It's not over u til the witch arrives though so fingers crossed for you both!

I found it reallydisappointing last month as I know we times it perfectly, so I have struggled to feel optimistic the kast couple of weeks. I am starting to feel exited about my feetile week coming up again now though.

I have decided to have some pomegrante juice with breakfast each morning this cycle. I read online that it is said to help with implantation. It may be an old wives tale but it won't do me any harm!

Tested last night and BFN. I could make excuses like it wasn't held for a long time and I didn't wait till urine cooled (cheap ones say use room temperature urine) but I think for now I'll just accept it isn't this time (if I get high results once I'm doing opk again I'll test again though!).
I did have some spotting since stopping yesterday (overnight til late afternoon i was stopped) but this is still a lot less than normal.

Is it a bit dramatic to start feeling like it's never going to happen already? I know in ttc terms it hasn't been that long really. Only 3 cycles but because I know I came off the pill in September counting that way makes it seem like ages! I do know it isn't really though and these things can take a year or more... hope not though

Selement - this one month seems to be taking forever, and I haven't even ovulated yet! The TWW is going to be painful I think.
