Who wants to get Sept BFP's!! After trying for a few months.
Hi Everyone!
I am trying to muster up any confidence I have left at this point and feeling very discouraged do to our situation. In comparison to some ladies I know I am not as bad but still feeling down from last month and the prior 6 months total as well. Me and my husband have been trying since beg March this year and we are both healthy and young enough to start a family but no luck yet. I have connected with some ladies and it seems everyone of them has gotten a BFP on their first try or so and I would like to hear from those of you who are in my position where you are still trying and its just taking longer. I am looking for some support and stories about your journey so far and what you think of timing and any other methods you have been following. I'm interested to hear your thoughts now that we've all been at it for a while. What do you beleive in and what are you not going to try anymore?
For us, we tried for about 2 months the normal way just with me taking prenatals and not really understanding the timing of the O day and OPK's or anything like that. After that I researched about those things and figured out what timing was better than others and started using OPK's just to pin point my days, however, I have always been on a solid schedule of 26 day cycles and I know when AF comes each month so I'm not sure how much that has really helped me honestly. I also logged my BBT for a month and it felt more stressful than I think it should and it didn't help me really so I stopped that too. Now that we have passed the 6 month mark, I am scheduled to go to the fertility doctor and see what they can tell me or test for incase there is a bigger problem going on. I feel we have timed everything right for at least 3 or 4 months now and nothing ever changes. I even had my DH do a home test that came out positive for being at least at a normal sperm count.
So, what are your thoughts? What's your story? How long have you been TTC and what are going to do from this point on different?
I can't wait to hear from you! I need to know I'm not alone in this!

Off topic but worth mentioning to my CTP friends... My friend Angie's son Lane Goodwin is losing his battle with cancer. We are trying to get him as many "likes" on his Facebook page as we can to help lift his spirits. We are also posting thumbs up pictures for Lane. If you want to help and like his page.. It is "Prayers for Lane Goodwin" on FB. Thanks!

Hey there adkins!! It really depends on when you truely ovulate. Depending on how normal your cycle really is, it is sometimes hard to just follow the online calculator. Have you tried using an OPK? This will ensure the best time(s) for you so that you know exactly when you ovulate. I have been tracking my bbt an I think it is so cool how you can monitor from day to day what your body is or should be doing. For example, i know that my temp dips at ovulation and i know that once it goes back up its over ( my ovulation time that is). The next dip (should you see one), about 6-10dpo, is called your implantation dip. You probably know all of this stuff,... I just think it is all very fascinating!! If u were you, i would try an OPK just to see.

Hello everyone,
well this morning it appears AF has decided to visit again, im a bit bummed as there were alot of stronger symtoms this cycle..
i think next cycle im not going to keep track,its just too nerve wracking and stressful.
ive spent hours each day of the TWW researching online what symtoms may or may not be.
i think i am however going to track my ovulation with OPK's this time so i know whats going on and what day i did ovulate.
Congrats to you girls who did concieve this month, and to those who are waiting, good luck. and to the rest of us who get to try again....have fun;)

@BGGirl - You're a true sweetheart. I liked the page. My heart goes out to him and his family & friends.
@Tasha - so sorry. I know it doesn't help to say sorry but ugh, I really feel for you.
So ladies, I, of course, am officially not not pregnant until I get my lovely AF. But the BFN's make me think I will be getting her in three days or so.
I called the fertility clinic today. I just cried and cried when talking to the Dr. It's been awhile since I have done that. They will send me some forms and then after I send them back, they call to make an appointment. It feels like I have been defeated. =(
BUT, I will keep going and keep believing I will have more children.
I am happy for those who got their BFP. Cheers to healthy and happy pregnancies with beautiful babies as your outcome. Having a child is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
If for some reason I do get a BFP, I will for sure let everyone know!
Thanks for all the support!
