E Hopefully your symptoms are pregnancy related and we’ll see your bfp in a few days! I’m sorry to see that people are getting fired at this times but happy at the same time that your DH still has his job! Here in Greece business owners cannot fire any of employees during the pandemic. The government is promising that they will help owners and employees as well. We shall see

Dragonfly so sorry AF came especially for you that your ttc journey this time is not constant from both of you! Hopefully this cycle will give you a beautiful surprise!
Did you experience difficulties in getting pregnant previously? Sorry for asking but I wasn’t following you before!

Lalou take it slow mama and please please be careful when you goin out!! I know it’s necessary for you but it’s such a difficult time right now!!

AFM Today is our 9year anniversary with hubby and even though we cannot go somewhere to celebrate I’m so grateful I have him especially at this times! I really thought we would have a baby by now but I guess it wasn’t mean to be... This cycle is the last one that we could possibly have a 2020 baby and hubby wanted this so much...
CD5 today and last one for AF. I ovulate quite early usually so in 2 days from now I’ll be jumping on the BDing train! Hubby said we will make a lot of babies this month now we are well rested lol yeah right... I wish

@Alex. No worries. I don't mind sharing my story. Just wanted to say Happy Anniversary to you and your husband. When my husband and I started trying for our first, I was brand new to the TTC board so I went online and purchased "Conceive Easy" as we tried for a few months and were not successful. I started taking the vitamines and on the third month I got pregnant as I remember that as I just opened the third bottle. I knew something was different as i couldn't lay down on my stomach and cramping lots. March 29/16 our daughter was born. Fast forward to a couple years when we started trying for our second, my cycles were all over the place. Was spotting before my period, which I never did my whole life. Did some Googling and that it was a possible sign of having a short luteal phase so I thought why not; worst can happen is that it doesn't work. I took Maca for the first time to see if that will help balance it out and then got projesterone cream and got pregnant that month. This time, I knew as i had heartburn and I could smell when our daughter pooped even being in the kitchen. This pregnancy took a toll on me as certain things happened that didn't happen in my first pregnancy so my anxiety was always high. Our son was born on my brother's birthday (Oct 19/18). I would like to have 3 kids and then be done but I will settle for one of each should things don't work out.

Couldn't help myself - had to test today. 12dpo : BFN But of course it's still early, and it could be a false negative I really don't think so though. Why do I do it to myself?! Why did I have to get my bfp with my son at 10 dpo! I don't think this is my month. All in God's time.

@E. Don't give up and stay positive. Like you said, it might be too early. All in God's hands.

Dragonfly Thank you for sharing your story! I really hope it won’t have to take too long to have your third one! I have a feeling that it will be soon! Fingers crossed!

E You’re not out yet hun! I know chances are slim with a negative at 12DPO but you know I’ve seen so many late positives in here the last two years! Let’s hope your bfp will show in the next few days!

@E yes I agree with the ladies. There are really late BFPs. You are not out yet. I am praying for you. Stay strong.

@Dragonfly beautiful story. Like Alex said thank you for sharing. Hope you will get that baby soon. 3 is such a beautiful number. We are aiming for that number too or 4 if we have twins .

@Alex yes get busy girl. Don t you love a confident DH. Have fun bd.

@AFM 2nd beta yesterday 238. Nurse did not do a good job calming my nerves although she did said that it is a good number and they are happy with it . But she kept insisting on me taking my meds on time and everyday, so I am a tiny bit worried. But that was yesterday. I said my prayers, left everything in God's hands and I am all positive again this morning. I have a 3rd beta scheduled for the 8th and Viability ultrasound the 20th probably to check on sac and heartbeat. Until I see that heartbeat ,I don t think I will be completely settled down but I will not worry anymore. It is out of my control anyway. I am staying strong for my students. Schools are remaining closed rest of the month of April. Pushing dates for 3rd quarter. Cancelling tests. More business closing. Please stay safe everyone. And today is my mother 's birthday. I feel so emotional. I wished to have a girl to name my baby after her. I got more closer to my mum when becoming a mom myself as I understand her much better now. So I cannot offer her what I wanted to but both my parents are here with us and it is really the most important thing for me. Talking too much today. I am very emotional today. Listen to Diamonds Rihanna does not help neither. Those pregnancy hormones. Lol. Stay safe. Class time.

@ Alex & Lalou. Thank you. My husband and I talked last night and says to go ahead and place the order for the cream. Will have to see if I still have the bottle of Maca; which I hope doesn't expire lol. I asked my husband on when and he wants to try on his birthday (Aug). I wasn't too happy about that but have to respect that. I did try suggesting just once or twice during my fertile window. The only thing that I will have to change are my anti- depressants as it isn't safe to take.

@Lalou. I hope you are blessed with twins. I had a dream after i had my son and I found out that I was having twins. My aunt has twins so I almost feel that it is my turn. Try not to worry too much. Stress isn't good for the baby. All in God's hands.

Hey ladies,

I'm back again! Currently CD 17 / 5 DPO. I started working at home last Tuesday due to the current pandemic. I think it's going to be a long TWW being cooped up inside all day for who knows how many days!

After going to the bathroom for the first time this morning I had some pink spotting when wiping. It really caught me off guard since I'm only on CD 17 of a 28 day cycle. After seeing the blood, I have been a little crampy but nothing too bad. Not sure what's up with the spotting as I think it would be too early to be IB.

@Nasamama welcome

@Dragonfly you are right. Stress is not good. But yes , August is far but at least he is willing to start trying again. There are others ways to persuade your DH. You could seduce him. But respecting his wishes are also important. Look forward to see more bfp as well.

AFM not much. Listening to advices. Trying not to stress. Teaching and studying. Reconnecting with friends. Such a blessing to witness this pandemic. As far as I know , no one has ever loved something like this. Historians , scientists I mean all subjects , will be writing about this for décennies.

@nasa. Maybe it could be ovulation bleed. I get that sometimes when I'm close to ovulating as your right; no way it can be IB. Do you temp at all?

@lalou. I guess all I can say is to wait and see if he surprises me again.
