Essence, I am soooo sooo happy for you!!!
We decided to go all out this cycle. Will be doing an iui and and a low dose of fertility medication injectibles. Part of me feels like giving up and “what’s the point” but the other part of me feels hopeful. I don’t know why it’s so hard to get pregnant again when it was so easy with my daughter. Today is cd 30, waiting on cd 1, should be here anytime now.

@Alexplpl - It's OK, I know what you mean. I don't trust ICs either. I don't trust squinters on any brand at all to be honest. I've had way too many chemical pregnancies, so I don't trust a line until it's fairly strong. But they're fun to use while waiting to see if it gets darker or not.

@vs1234 - I know all of them aren't positive, but still fairly strong. They are normally way lighter for me though, not this strong unless I'm about to ovulate. That's why I'm confused at the moment.

@ItsAnna - I don't trust them either, especially this faint. But I guess it's a bit fun to speculate wether it's a faint line or not. Probably 'cause I'm hoping so bad.

Oh dee. I'm sorry...I have anxiety as well and sometimes it just gets the best of you. I dont think your being weird about nausea... it can be a pregnancy thing or something else. But your husband shouldn't dismiss it.
And not having a 28 day cycle is not unnormal.... it's just how your specific wonderful body works.
Head up! It will happen!

Well my spotting just turned red, so now just trying to decide if today is CD1 or not.

Espensce, thank you for your kind words!!!
How are you doing? did you talk to the drs yet?

My hubby is more of a realistic as he likes to put it, but I dont blame him. We have made a plan to try IUI if this cycle and next cycle doesn't work. I honestly have PTSD from the HSG so i wanna give myself more time prior to going through something similar like that

@hotdamn sorry for the evil witch! shes the worst.

@hot I'm sorry she arrived

I'm just damn fed up now. I did a cheapie. Stark white. Decided to add my last cycle back into the stats and it reckons I could be due Friday which I estimated anyway. I just don't get how I've always had a 14 luteal phase and now these last two cycles it's increased potentially to 17 days I'm taking all of this as data analysis anyway, so if we haven't fallen pregnant in 6 cycles I can go to my doctor for some tests. They'll see the longer phase and maybe suggest things to help. Does anyone know of some natural things I can buy to help get it back to 14 days? xx

@scuba I was using vitex to help with my LP. I was trying to lengthen mine though. I took it few a few months and it made zero change. Though some people swear by it.

I didn't think I'd be in this cycle, positive opk this morning (at CD13). DTD 2 and 4 days ago. So I guess we will see. I was just getting used to Oing at CD20-22. Then the last 3 cycles have gone CD16, 13, 13.

Hello! I’m new to CDTP, hopefully it’s okay if I jump in? I was reading this board a bit so as to not feel so lonely and you are all so wonderful and supportive so I wanted to join :)
I am on Cd 28, 11 dpo. Have had a couple of negative pregnancy tests. We had a early mc/cp in November so are even more excited to conceive... I think next cycle’s fertile window will be while we are on opposite sides of the country so I’m anxious for this one!

Congrats Espensce! I will hopefully learn more and keep up with the rest of you as we go along...:)

@mistique thank you. Yes I read that too. Oh well maybe it's just how my cycles are changing. Just going to make it harder and longer at this rate.

@teachers welcome to the board! Fingers crossed for this cycle for you! Not too long to wait to know for sure xx
