Temp is down even more today. Still above cover but barely. It's 12dpo today and got a bfn. I expect AF to show up tomorrow night or Thursday morning. Not sure how to feel. Crying a lot today. Just feel defeated. I think I'm gonna take time off for a while. 7 months is a long time for me. I know many of you have been trying muuuuuch longer than me. Not sure how emotionally you do it. But I'm ready to sit out for a while.

@Nelle - sorry to hear that your temps are down...I know how you feel in terms of needing a break...that's exactly how I feel this cycle, which is why I haven't been around much...it does get overwhelming at times...take some time...hope you feel better soon!

@nelle trust me I know exactly how you feel. I started spotting on Tuesday which is normal for me right before AF and when I saw that I was just devastated as I have been literally trying for 7 years and it still never get easy to see . I am like you feeling really defeated and depressed. I feel like everyone else around me is getting pregnant and I am not. It is so hard because I know I should not feel this way but I can not help it. I just spent the holiday very depressed and crying. I sent the kids and DH away just to be alone. I just feel like why can't I finally get my miracle. .

Hi Ladies! Anyone in the TWW process? Any strong symptoms?

Hey Ladies!
I'm 7 dpo, the wait is always so hard. I thought I got a slight positive today but I'm sure its just wishful thinking. I never have very strong symptoms with any pregnancy so I have to patiently wait for 2 lines.
So sorry to those already out this month. Baby dust to you all next month!

Hi nelle, ladybugsmom and smartbaby,

I haven't been on here for a while, since it has been depressing for me. I am sorry to hear that AF seems to be showing up ladybugsmom, i can only imagine how you feel after trying for so long.

Nelle, i know you are losing hope but stay strong. If you need a time out, take it. I found by doing that when you decide to jump back in you will be ready mentally. Maybe in the mean time you could devise a new plan - look at what didn't work and what might work.

Smartbaby, i hope things are going better for you. on the bright side, if there is one, we have each other to rely on when we need it.

I am still waiting for AF to arrive after the miscarriage. I was hoping she would come early this month so i could have a chance when i see DH in a couple weeks but that doesn't look like it will happen. Been temping but i haven't seen a rise so i don't think i have O'd yet. But i did have a lot of ewcm over the last couple of days so i really am not sure what is happening.

I guess i just have to wait and see what happens now.

Good luck to the rest of ladies who are in the TWW

Hello Ladies...

Just an update. So I was supposed to start my period yesterday. Temp went up about .18 degrees. Figured it would have dropped well below cover today and I would just have a 27 day cycle. Well my temp went down about .13 degrees today but it is still above my cover, not my much but still above. I have had minimal discomfort today in lower abdomen, not really cramps but kinda. Hard to explain. So I would assume that AF will be here by morning. Not testing because I really don't think there is a point. especially with the cramping and slight nausea today after I eat.

Thank you ladybug and Kerrist for the kind words and Smartbaby I hope you are doing well too! Im going to take a break for a while but I will check in with the board to see how everyone is doing. Good luck to you all!

Hi everyone. I'm cd13 and have a positive opk some last night. Probably going to ovulate today or early tomorrow. Dh and I bd last night and plan another for tonight. I used a soft cup after to hold in the swimmers for about 8hrs.

The end of this month I'm scheduled for a Femvue, or hsg which will find out if my tubes are clear or not. I've heard it's very painful. Id love to just get pregnant so I can cancel it lol.

I'm not on any fertility drugs this month, just lots of vitamins.
Prenatal
Vitex
Vitamin E
Vitamin C
Maca root for the first half of cycle
Coq10
Folic Acid
Vitamin B612
Evening primrose oil for first half of cycle
I'll do progesterone cream after ovulation.

My goodness, it's a lot of freaking pills to take. And dh is complaining we have to bd for 3 days in a row.... Men.

Hi ladies. I am 10 dpo and have had some bloating, increased cervical fluid, fatigue and maybe increased saliva. I had a positive LH test but bfn. So nervous as this is count down time. Had a miscarriage in December 2016. Am hoping for a 2/2018 baby!! Anyone else!!

@mariasboys13 - I hope those are good signs! I have some of the same. I've also been having very mild cramping since a couple days after ovulation. This cycle has been a rough one just because everything has been going "right", but sadly still no BFP for me at 11DPO

@calvingirl - I have been taking all of those except Maca root and have also been taking Omega 3, Myo-Istotol, mucinex, bromelain and green tea...It is def a lot to keep up with...I stopped the Vitex this cycle after I ovulated though

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

and CONGRATS to all the lucky ladies with BFP and February babies on the way!!!
