Hi everyone, no bfp for me yet, and since this is my sixth cycle postpartum we met with my OB today who’s referred us to a fertility specialist with a view to starting ivf. I saw the same fertility specialist before I conceived naturally with baby #1 at 39. Now I’m 40 3/4 so no time to waste. I don’t really know much about what ivf entails though!

I’m so sorry to anyone AF got.. I was watching you all with hope for more bfps this cycle. Don’t give up ladies you got this!!

Biggles I hope you get a nice surprise from your hubby this next cycle!! Fingers crossed!

Mummyof4 welcome aboard! I hope you won’t have to stay for long in here! Hopefully you’ll get your bfp soon!

Miam good luck this cycle! Hopefully you’ll catch that egg

Russian I hope you won’t have to take the IVF path and to conceive naturally for once more! You got this girl!!

AFM not much. I’m currently around 6-7dpo but I’m not really tracking anything. I could be wrong. We BDed as normal this cycle and I’m wishing for a miracle as any other cycle for the last 10 years... yea I know don’t laugh at me.. hope dies last

I haven't been in here as ofthen as I used too, but just wanted to let you know I still read occasionally but don't have the energy to write as much. My fibromyalgia have been getting worse for a few weeks now and my meds aren't helping as much. So my energy are really low. Having pain 24/7 takes a toll on you, and all other symtoms/issues related to the disease aren't helping. I'm just thankful the weather is getting better, being out in the sun and pet my rabbits helps.

As far as TTC goes I'm roughly 6-7 dpo. Had some sharp pains on my right side yesterday that now has turned into light cramps. Other than that I don't feel any different at all. Itching to POAS, but know it's no use since I only have regular strips that measures from 25, so it would be a total waste testing this early anyway.

Pandorica same here girl, same here... I cannot find the energy to write as often anymore but I’m sure reading everyone and cheering silently!
I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well with your fibromyalgia. My mom has it and I know how painful it can be. I really hope now that spring is coming to feel a lot better!!
I’m now around 9-10dpo maximum and I also don’t want to waste my last two strips since as you said they are 25miu. I’m not feeling anything at all and I’m sure I don’t have any bean in my tummy!

Hopefully everyone else is moving smoothly in their cycles and I can’t wait to see some bfps

Hey all! So, so sorry so many of us got af. Boo!!! I'm on cd 9 today. I'm supposed to ovulate friday according to Flo but a different app predicts Sunday. And this site predicts Friday. Considering my OPK isn't very dark I dunno if I will. Who knows what day it'll be! I dunno how to feel about trying in March. On the one hand I don't want another December baby so close to my daughter's birthday. On the other hand....it feels so much like the universe is screaming and telling me that skipping march is a bad idea. Back when I conceived my daughter it was march, I was gonna travel right after O, we had a thunderstorm that kinda out us in an amorous mood cause he got all sweet and did the whole notebook kiss in the rain thing, and it was approximately 2 weeks before Easter. This time? It's March, I'm traveling next week after my predicted O, we're supposed to have scattered thunderstorms most of the week, and my predicted O is approximately 2 weeks before Easter give or take a couple days. I mean.... If that isn't a sign to get busy with the baby making..... I have no idea what is honestly! Anyway...that's about it for me. Just me reading too much into things going on lol!

Cd 10 here.... I also have a December baby but feel I'm too old to waist one single month. Do you know I read somewhere that as we age, we only ovulate viable eggs maybe 4 or 5 months out of the year. I may ovulate every month but some months the egg might be a dud? Its all overwhelming these days. I want to start taking foster classes in case we may have to look into adoption. My husband is not up for it. He just says we will have another baby. I'm not so sure these days.

Not 100% sure on dpo, but approx 11-12 dpo. So far my tests have been stark white, until this morning. But I feel I can't trust a faint line anymore, not until it progresses and I can get a positive digital. My cramps are gone and replaced with slightly tender boobs. That's all as far as symtom goes.

Does anyone else see something on the top one, or is it just me?

Pandorica: maybe on the top one? I went to your page to the pics and used tools and I definitely see it with tools. If it's any help, the easy@home ones never give me any faint line of any kind so maybe it's the start of something? Maybe a first response would show better.

Southern - Yeah, it's the top one I think I maybe see something on. On the easy@home I can't see shit. I thought I would give them a go since they were sold in a kit with the OPK (which I like). Unfortunately first response aren't sold here and most of the early brands are, in my experience, quite prone to evaps. Plus, they're usually only sold online. Otherwise I would've used a more sensitive one. But I guess it'll show sooner or later IF I'm pregnant. Still counting on af to show in a few days though.

Pandorica: It's very faint without tools on the top. But with tools I do see something for sure. I hope it gets darker for you! I'm still waiting for O on cd 12. We'll see. I've been pretty stressed and so I'm just hoping I ovulate before going out of town. Or that if I ovualte late, the sex before we go out of town is enough.
