View Full Post

I wanted to make this for all the ladies out there TTC their first little one.
Let us come together and share in each others heartache and joy.

I feel so alone in my community because everyone I know has kids.

A little info about me.

Been TTC #1 again for 4.5 months. Started tracking this cycle.
Been not trying for 18 years but havent prevented either.
Was on this site in 2011 TTC #1 with my ex but our relationship ended in 2012.
Started TTC again in 2014 with my new bf but in 2017 after no success. I found out he cheated on me and got the girl pregnant.
January 2018 surgery to remove a fibroid that was like a natural IUD as the doc said.
Me the love of my life June 23rd and we basically have been trying ever since.
I'm two weeks away from 35 years old and he turned 38 in July. He does not have any kids and we both really want some.

Well, my temp dropped again. Still above the cover line but now I'm feeling out and sure I'm not going to get my Birthday BFP. I had a goal of having kids by 25 didnt happen then it was 30 didnt happen then 35. No with my 35th coming up this Friday still childless and not even pregnant. I know they say you cant say your out till AF has arrive but my temps always in the past when I was tempting would drop before AFs arrival. Feeling down this morning. Feeling broken.

I am sorry @bug but don’t give up. The time will come. Remember there is only a 20% chance each cycle so you can still get there! This next month will be better! The stress of trying can make it harder at times too. You will get there love! A new month a new try a new adventure!

Well, I'm a train wreck and probably grasping on a little hope. So, SO told me he did/might still have low sperm count. 2 years ago he had some surgery done where they put pellets in his back. Of course I cried but he said we will do this together. 
This morning my tip drop way below cover line, but ladies no sign of AF but brownish clear CM. So, I took off my ovulation override today on both FF and CTP. Hoping I O later than I thought and that maybe just maybe AF isnt coming. As the day progression. I'm on AF alert. If she doesnt show today/tonight. I'll be hoping to see a rise in temps in case it's an implantation dip. Here is my FF chart.

Thanks Shay!

Ladies, my AF still hasnt fulling arrived. Temp went back up from 97.32 to 97.60 which would be above the cover line but I'm just chalked it off has AF is coming. If AF hasnt shown full blown by Friday or tempts dont drop or they climb. To many factors to weigh in, I will test. Either way I'm excepting AF.

I am still figuring out how to use my thermometer well enough to do it in the dark while DH is still sleeping. Totally failed st it this morning but will try again tomorrow morning. AF still hasn’t shown or have any sign of starting. I am starting to Take vitex to see if it will help regulate my cycle some. I will also start using my opks once I get them.

@bug you aren’t out until AF shows! Stay positive!! I am excited and keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

@Shay, yes doing things in the dark isnt easy. I or only thought I bought a bbt thermometer that would have a backlight and it doesnt lucky my BF sleeps with the TV on and I have light from that.

Well I can officially say AF is here. temp dropped again and after what I thought was a spotting day yesterday, in going with super light. Today, its light but bright red and cramps have started. On to a September baby. I just hope AF goes away before. My birthday on Friday and my vacation to Disney
