First time TTC; going crazy!

View Full Post

Hello all, I have found this site while going crazy during this two week wait. I am inexperienced with symptoms and waiting and what to expect...I would appreciate anyone's advice...

My LMP was 2/11, I'm sure I ovulated between 2/25-2/27...I began with breast heaviness & soreness on 2/28 which is unusual for me to start with that early before AF. And it as continued - still sore boobs/swollen. I have noticed I've been a little more tired; requiring a nap the other day and going to bed earlier. And finally, on 9 or 10 DPO, (yesterday) I started with some dull lower abd cramping/pressure on & off all day... I have tested the last couple days because I am so impatient!!!! And obviously BFN... I know it is too early... Does it sound like I may have a chance?? Maybe I'm making up these symptoms?? AF is due 3/11... and I'm thankful for working 12 hour shifts the next couple days to distract myself! Please advise!!!

@JHawkins- congrats! Crazy thinking you were out to getting your bfp! I'd love for that to happen to me. I'm on CD27 now and roughly 13DPO and have been spotting both brown and red since 9DPO.

I have had enough and scheduled an appointment with the RE on January 7th. Hoping to get some insight that will get me pregnant. I'm thinking of self-medicating with Clomid again this cycle. I may do 100mg CD3-7. I really think I have a luteal phase defect, and Clomid could help. We shall see. I may change my mind.

Welcome to the new ladies. Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me dropping in on this topic :)
I'm 28 and on 10dpo of my 2nd cycle ttc. I'm a serial POASer and there's nothing that can stop me!! I'm also crazy at symptom spotting and really hoping that this month we've been successful!
I was on cerazette for 3 years so had no AFs and my first full cycle was 33 days. This cycle I used OPKs (see I like to POAS) and I'm pretty sure I OD on CD15
The TWW is killing me! Tested this morning and although I can see a very faint line I thinks it's a BFN and it's just my eyes playing tricks! Not testing tomorrow as I don't want to be on a downer all day if it's another BFN. I, trying to wait until New Year's Eve....
Baby dust to you all x

Happy holidays ladies!!

JHawkins congratulations. Woohooo im so happy for you. DH was jus asking me wts happening cos I was so excited I kinda screamed. Wishing you a happy healthy 9 months. You truly did get your christmas miracle :) stay blessed.

Welcome to blynnstrecker, marmitelove & hazal.
I have heard of fertility blend..infact I as taking it last cycle. I was having ridiculously long cycles and I believe that vitex & fertility blend kicked of My new cycle. & I sed both as fertility blend had a low dosage of vitex as compared to my vitex supplement. I haven't been taking it this cycle cos when you are on fertomid or Clomid you aren't supposed to take anything wit vitex in it(fertilityblend has vitex in it)

So im now on CD17 & not sure if i've ovulated yet but I been bd'ing every other day since CD9.im going to try my best not to poas till th 8th. If I dnt get my bfp i'l also be bumping up to 100mg of fertomid next cycle.

Abennett how is the tww treating you? I just realised I never responded tht I have been ttc since June.
Marmitelove hope you manage to hang in there til New years eve.
AshleyLauren fingers crossed for you

Well...a lot has happened with me. I got my progesterone levels drawn the other day and I was able to find out from the lab what my results were bc my doctors office wasn't opening back up til tom. Anyways, the level was 50. Which is what it normally is for pregnant women in first trimester. The lab tech asked if I was pregnant! Not that I know of! So she told me she would do a serum preg test under the table. Unfortunately, it was neg :(. I'm so upset! I got my hopes up when my progesterone levels were so high and then I got tore down. Now, I have 2-3 days to just wait on my period to come since I know I'm not pregnant. So let down right now :( after almost a year of trying, when will it be my turn! On the upside, the elevated levels mean that I did in fact ovulate and clomid is doing its job so that if I get pregnant, I can stay pregnant. Sorry for the rant. Just needed to vent! Ontoy 3rd cycle of clomid...upping the dose to 100 mg this time!

Abennett: we all need a good rant and rave evry now and then. Rly sorry that this month wasn't the month. But like you said at least we know Clomid worked, praying that th 100mg wil do the trick. As soon as af starts then you can start the Clomid, which is good cos its not just a waiting game :). What day does ur Dr get you to start taking Clomid?

Ugh! Sorry, ABennett! I really hope your time is coming soon. Ranting is definitely allowed after having been TTC as long as you have. :( I have been more "ranty" lately as well. All my optimism and hope didn't really get me anywhere, but I know negativity and feeling bad for myself will only make matters worse!

Hoping the extra dose of Clomid works for you this cycle! The new year will hopefully equal new luck. It kind of feels like a fresh start! 4 days until my RE appointment, and I honestly cannot wait. Hope we get our BFPs soon. Although it has been a great thread, I would love for new TTCers to take it over completely VERY, VERY soon! ;)

Hope all the girls that have ever posted or even just read our posts have their babies this year. GL, everyone! XO
