Morning Everyone

So just an update from my side... Tests came back and everything seems normal so I won't be going on any fertility medication... Doctor wants to see me again in 6 months for another follow up... Honestly, I have no idea how I am feeling right now... I was terrified but excited as I felt it was going to help a little with the struggle but I was so heartbroken to be one of those who needed medication (not that I have anything against using them)… I am slightly disappointed that everything is normal not because I'm not glad but I'd rather deal with me having difficulties than SO if that makes sense? I mean, we got pregnant on the 6th month so I know both of us can have children but it's month 7 now and still no babies so i'm kind of concerned that something might be up with SO but he feels okay so I'll give it a year and see if no babies I'll get him checked...

But on the plus side I do ovulate so just pin pointing when is the struggle because it seems like we don't do it on ovulation days

Hey everyone, I'm here just hanging out 6dpo and trying to wait another week to test.

Anna, I would definitely suggest the opk/temping combo if it won't stress you out to do everything everyday. For me, it helps take some of the guess work out because my CM and physical symptoms don't always line up with my actual O day or they happen multiple times so I don't know which is the actual O. I'm glad everything is normal for you. It might just be a timing issue and that is completely within your control.

Hi girls,
Last night was really special my husband bought me two dozen roses and we had a romantic night. He was previously on the fence about another baby right now and timing, but is now eager and excited for #2. Previously we would bd at random times, could be that it wasn’t proper timing. I’m hoping this is the month. Got this yesterday, did my trigger last night. Will prob ovulate sometime today or tomorrow. The 2 WW is going to be so hard! The trigger has hcg so I can’t start really testing until like 11 dpo. It has to leave my system.

I have a quick question. I am like a super weirdo I feel lol- So I am on day 2 of aunt flo...now most people get acne and zits on their period however my skin is the BEST on my period...could I be lacking something? and could this be a cause to my infertility? It just seems so strange to me.

Hey All I’m new to all of this, but have felt so less alone reading everyone’s stories and symptoms seems a great place for support.

I am due on any day now... temp dipped today 11Dpo. Took vitamin b6 complex this month and ovulated 6 days earlier than avg so that’s a plus. No real symptoms of AF yet but BFN and temp dip tells me she is round the corner!

Fingers crossed for all I love seeing the word BFP in people’s post’s :)

@shay i understand.
@itsAna i love your attitude. Keep positive.
@Kait almost time to poas.
@photomama that is fantastic news. Have fun baby dance.
Had some heavy cramps today and my cervix went medium low and it seems to be hard like the tip of the nose and slightly open. So our "favorite" aunt might be on her way. So far BFN. Will poas on Sunday if no visit by then. Welcome to the newbies and stay positive.

Hi ladies. I'm 5 dpo. Tested around 7pm with BFN. Breast got heavy and full about 7 days ago. Seems to be less full today. Feeling emotional & irritated. I know it's early to test but I think I'm out this cycle. Read somewhere about breast decreasing in size indicates drop in progesterone which is also a sign AF is on her way. Does anyone know much about breast changes between ovulation and conception?

Jenny! This is only anecdotal but in ny cycles my first sign of af is my boobs start getting huge! The month that I was pregnant my first sign was that my boobs didnt hurt or grow at all.
And 5 dpo is super early the little egg cant even implant for a few more days, maybe even a week.

@katemm I'm not really sure, but your doc can test hormone levels for you if you haven't had that done.
@kerlinky welcome! Hopefully AF stays away
@jenny 5dpo is still pretty early. How long is your LP normally? The chart below has helped me a lot. Progesterone naturally starts to decline midway through the LP, but I think if implantation occurs it increases again or holds steady.
I've learned that estrogen and my mood don't get a long very well because I always have a crabby day when it's surging.

Thanks Lalou
We got another session in last night yay! I was super crampy yesterday around 6 pm so I’m thinking that’s when I ovulated. Only issue is, there was barely any cm. It was wet but barely any. I used a softcups as well, hopefully at least some of the little guys made it up into the tube. Feel fine today. I triggered Thursday at 11 pm so that makes 19 hours after trigger. No crampy full feelings today so I’m pretty sure today is 1 DPO. I wore my Ava bracelet last night and was so excited to see a temp rise this morning and confirm ovulation, but Ava said my bracelet was blocked!!! WTH?! Now I don’t have a temp reading on the most crucial day. Pretty sure I’m 1 dpo though.
