More symptoms just no bfp ..last pg didn't get positive til 1 7dpo AF 8 days aways so there still plenty time testing at 17dpo cd 28 4 more days

Hi all,

I have lost track of the enteries on here Im afraid sorry. I tried to keep names and comments in mind so I could give out some personalised comments but it's gone already but let's see what I can remember:

@ HopefullyAMommy
Only a few more days until you find out - the days don't feel any shorter but your symptoms sound promising. What I enjoyed about testing late was that I could imagine that I was carrying a baby right at that moment. It always made me smile.

@ twwtoolong
I am also cutting back on caffeine. 1 cup of tea a day max, at least 2 hours after food and not too soon before eating (iron intake is cut down by up to 80% through drinking tea apparently - not a caffeine thing but drinking a leaf, so I imagine that would apply to any leaf: peppermint, not chammomile since they are flowers). I have also shifted drinking it from first thing in the morning to in the middle of the day. I just feel that any kick from it would be extra strong on an empty stomach after hours of fasting (sleeping) so that might translate to extra availability to baby. Hocum or not, I think I'm ready to break my morning habit.

@ Baby_Dreams8285
Sorry to hear about your periods turning up. Best of luck with this new cycle.

@ PrettyMama3boys
I think you are 9dpo today? I think that you could definitely test with a First Response test or something that is very sensitive like that. If you feel different then that's something to go by. I spent ages looking at the image galleries for each dpo I was going through and it made me much more aware that the line ~can~ appear early but to not get my hopes up too much. Quite grounding for me.

I am 18dpo today. I did a test this morning and my test line is now darker than the control line! I am so happy to see the progress and am going to continue doing this every three days for maybe the next two weeks. I am still very cautious about everything and I really don't know what I can do from this point to help the baby move in for the 9 month ride. I feel hungry a lot more now but sometimes I wonder if this is queasiness.

All the best sistas, with trying on the new cycle, waiting for the day you test, and keeping the baby stuck well and firmly in you.

twwtoolong Thank you for your concern. I have been trying on and off for 3 years. I have always known that it would be harder for me as I have some crazy irregular almost non existant cycles. I just did not know it would be this hard. for you though

Baby dream yes it is my way too. I am just thinking about that as a manner of comforting myself . Like not every woman can conceive but everyone can adopt. Of course carrying a baby is probably one of the most beautiful feelings in the world and I would love to experience that one day. FX you get your soon

Sophe thank you as well. I am hoping that maybe I am ovulating or will ovulate later like the previous month. I just need the strength to keep trying and not get discourage. About your BBt: it seems like you got it spot on this month , even the previous month for you as well dear

Lucidity and enjoy your

AFM I am still feeling a little sick like maybe I caught a cold. I have no symptoms except I am very warm but no high temperatures at all. I think I ovulated 2 days ago because of EWCM and dip but I have been feeling some dull cramps all day and now wondering if I am ovulating today. My cycle is so confusing. And i just hoped I will have strength to keep on BD. The other thing is I feel some heaviness in my lower uterus almost between my under belly and pubic area. No idea what it really means .

Happy Halloween in advance ladies if you celebrate it.

Think I had a faint after time limit tho going to retest 14dpo currently 13dpo

@ xoxojadorecouture - that is so exciting! Good luck testing today and keep us posted!

@ Lalou3tt3 - that is so hard - have you gone to your dr to see if there is anything you can do to support you? Try to BD whenever you have signs of that fertile cm and hopefully it'll work out for you - we are all on here cause we want to experience the magic of carrying our own child. My fingers are crossed for you too!

@ lucidity - That is so exciting!!!!

How is everyone else doing?

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate it!

@lucidty congrats

Hello ladies!
I'm 8dpo. 5th month ttc. I really didn't push the issue until last month with the hubby. During ovulation (TMI alert) my cm can actually hang like snot. Last month, I charted 2 hearts on Period Tracker around the 13th day and 14th day. I also charted spotting on day 14. The Red Aunt came very very light on the 10th and a flood on the 11th.
This month, I charted hearts on the 9th-11th, 13-17, and 19th-20th. I didn't plan on making so many hearts and I know alot of hearts can lower his count.
On the 19th day - a heart with brown spotting afterwards (had to wipe to notice) mild cramping
20th day - a heart that morning and faint spotting later that evening that was bright pink. Slept most of the morning and another nap that evening. Light cramping. Dry cm
Yesterday and today- light cramping, pulling feeling lower left. Body warm all over. The smell of my body soap starting to remind me of the Mc I had 2 yrs ago. Semi wet/slimy cm
Yearly exam Monday ... maybe news of a July Baby ?? My son says he wants a brother or sister. It would be an awesome b day gift for him. . .he's a July baby! Fingers crossed! Good Luck Ladies!

Twwtoolong unfortunately my Dr is limited. The only thing she can prescribed me is Clomid but also she keeps reminding me that I am still young and whatever when the only thing I want is to get pregnant. So ironic because she just gave birth last month and she was pregnant last year I had no idea until 3 months ago when she was in her trimester. My point is I only have 2 choices Clomid (again) or an RE and we can t afford one. when are you testing?

Xoxo good luck on testing. Hope you get that

Shethatholdsthe key for you as well

AFM no changes I hopes I ovulated 3-4 days ago or 9 days ago like Fertility Friend seem to think. DH is very focused on us moving out and me still not feeling so good , so for now is on break.

@ Lalou3tt3 - I am surprised your Dr. is so relaxed about it, especially given how long it's been and if you've been having irregular cycles. How many times have you tried clomid? My fingers are crossed for you- hopefully you get your sticky bean this month!

I am only 5 dpo right now - so was going to wait another week until 12 dpo - I am usually a 27 day cycle so AF would be due that day.

SheThatHoldsTheKey - What dpo are you? All sound like good signs! Good luck on Monday and keep us poste!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

xoxojadorecouture - I hope you got your bfp!!!
