And it would be all thanks to you ladies and this site. I have learnt soooo much since coming here!

Will check in with you all again tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing other ladies

Hi just wanted to say congrats on the bfp and I hope all works out for you xx secondly wanted to ask about your previous pregnancies not showing up on hpt ?? Is that right, how long did it take for them to show?? Last one I did was five days ago and it still was negative. I am now eleven days late and I've been to doctors last week for blood tests when I was seven days late. Not sure what's going on its never happened before and it's freaking me out as I'm on day 40/41 of my cycle. So is it possible I guess is my question there could be a baby in there even tho I don't feel at all pregnant. The alternative is there's something c
Gone badly wrong in there as I have never ever been this late before ever

BR, the line definitely looks like it is darkening! Yay! Btw, waiting to temp while not fully asleep will artificially raise, not lower your temp.

I woke up to light pink spotting and I had cramping in the middle of the night/early am. My temp is up from yesterday but not enough/as much as I'd like. Not that it matters as I'm sure I'm out. Either cramps or spotting alone is a death toll, both and that temp drop is a guarantee. I just wonder how long I'll have to wait to start bleeding. I did spot lightly the day before AF last time on Clomid too.

My Ovulation Chart

The 1st pregnancy, I was told before I couldn't have children, because I wasn't getting periods, how wrong was that doctor.
Anyway I didn't get a positive test went to the doctor and they tested and tested still couldn't find the pregnancy. Sent me for bloods nothing showed up apart from I was making milk hormone. I was called a strange girl. Went and saw a specialist. He wanted to squeeze me breast to see if the milk came out. I refused and went home. A few weeks later I felt this strange feeling in my belly. Thought I had been abducted by aliens or something lol. Ran another hcg test this time it was positive. Went back to see doc at that point they told me I felt about 16 weeks. Sent for a scan 2 weeks later they told me no you 24+weeks and you having a boy ha ha!
There was an investigation into why the docs were telling me I wasn't pregnant and it turns out that they had a batch of faulty rests and after about a month of negatives they stopped looking.

2nd I got an implantation bleed (only time I have spotted the implantation bleed) negative tests for about a week or so after then faint positive tests. When I was about 5 weeks I got awful cramps so was sent for early scan and there they could not find the pregnancy so they made me do a test in front of them. The also got a very faint positive so decided to do the blood test to 100%confirm and to check the numbers were doubling they called me back 2 weeks later for another scan and only then they said oh we can see the pregnancy now but your not 7 weeks your only 5. Did argue that I had to be 7 weeks cuz of the implant bleed the just said all baby's grow the same at this stage I'm 5 weeks. I later gave birth to a nearly 10lber at nearly 3 weeks. I later learnt about slow growers. So I'd say that's what I had because he was so big being born sightly early. I think in fact he was over due. 3rd I was on the pill and didn't test until I was 6 weeks (well the doctor tested) I went in with a water infection passing blood too thinking I was dying come out with a pregnancy ha ha.
In my cases either we was not looking for them or (I'm thinking ) a slow grower.
When 1st started swaying my AF went missing too it went doe about 3 months. Fingers crossed that there maybe a bfp in there somewhere.
How long have you been swaying what is you calories like and what supps are you taking.

Aw hun I hope not I was so hoping that this was your month too.x

Great stories BR. Crazy stuff. You'll have to be pregnant for both of us as this is definitely not my month.

BR the line definitely looks darker... and that's on my phone! I can hardly ever see faint lines on my phone so I would say your line isn't all that faint :) Congratulations! FX it keeps getting darker and we see you over in the EDD group soon!!

🙏 for a healthy 🌈 🚼

The line looks like it is getting darker BR, hopefully it continues that way!!

Sorry you think AF is on it's way Maiden.

I was able to get into the fertility specialist this Friday so I was surprised they had a spot that soon. I guess I will just see what he says. I'm not sure if the will let me go on clomid next cycle or make me wait 3 months or something stupid like that. Now that it is an option I'm feeling impatient like I want to do it now!

I'm not eating red meat at all, I'm not really dieting as such I find it really hard with my job but I'm skipping breakfast most of the time, doing running three times a week between three and six miles. I finished a round of Ivf in Feb which didn't stick. It was a fresh transfer so followed my natural cycle. Was due on the 1st/2nd March and af arrived on the 3rd! That was last period had not a sniff since then!!! I am taking folic acid, magnesium, 200 cq10, 50mg of dhea and mac a root to improve my egg quality as I've got ovarian decline. My test results come back today well lh, hcg, fsh, and estriadol anyway as well as iron and some other stuff. Don't know if they will tell me over the phone. I don't feel pregnant at all but on the other hand I've never been this late before either. Doing my head in

I didn't feel pregnant with any of my 2nd amd 3rd boys until a maybe around 8 weeks in. With my 1st obviously a lot longer he he.
I'm not sure what some of those supps are. Have you run them past atomic. When I first came here I was taking do many different supps (half of them swayed boy) atomic advised me to drop them!
Do you know if and when you o'd this cycle? Are your cycles us ally regular?

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

No I have not noticed cramps 2dpo. I have notice i still have alot of creamy cm and sometimes a little bit of ewcm.
I would guess at that maybe because we are all ttc we are more alert to what is happening with our bodies. Or maybe you over did it yesterday? Or its a good sign? Fx for you though.xxxx

Huge congrats BR!! I can't wait to see what the next few tests show. I just know you have a sticky bean growing in there [emoji8]!


[emoji170]DS1[emoji1379], DS2[emoji577], & DS3[emoji602][emoji170][emoji166]One last pink sway 2016[emoji166]

Maiden- I too am wondering when AF will show. I've had pink CM off and on and also cramping but nothing else so far. This is so strange for me. It must be the exercise. Weird though since I've exercised far harder before while nursing and it didn't effect my periods.

Looks like we are more cosmically aligned than we think [emoji6]!

Going for second beta today, I opened my last box of frer today and yesterday control line was more faint than today. I'm driving myself mad.

On cd29 now and my temp is now in post-O range along with a high reading on the advanced OPK. :confused: My cm has been most definitely infertile since cd24 and still is so surely I'm not gearing up for O? I'm just ready for AF to get here already. :sigh:

BR can't wait for your next test!! FX for a sticky bean! :)

Princessmom, I totally understand! It's anxiety inducing to go through a loss or losses then get pregnant again and then POAS like a mad woman. I hope your little one is super sticky and your beta results are good. Keep us posted.

Ksmom do you have pcos?

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Woo hoo princess mom that looks really good to me!

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

BR, no I don't have PCOS surprisingly. The RE said I may have a *slight* tendency toward it simply because my AMH is on the higher side and my O is somewhat irregular. She said I have no other symptoms of it so she doesn't think I actually have it.

Your cycle sounded like mine. Lol I have pcos. I hope you o soon if you have not yet ksmom

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thanks BR. I don't think I've O'ed yet according to my temps (or at least not when I thought I did) but my body sure is acting like I did O several days ago. It's ironic that I'm waiting to O so I can get AF so I can start meds to help me O! lol

Ksmom, I think you Oed 2 days ago on CD27 and no sooner. As for the advanced OPK, you can't just stop using it for a while. It looks like you probably missed your Peak. After O, it will always give you High readings.

Purple, glad you got an appt so soon.

1moregirl, bromelain, the enzyme in pineapple core, makes me cramp like crazy. But I've had mild cramping around 2dpo in several TTC cycles. I think maybe it's the fallopian tubes contracting, or corpus luteum pain.

Princess, those new FRERs don't show progression well. Also you may be encountering the hook effect at this point. I urge you to stop testing.

XX, I hope AF shows soon for us both. I'm eager to take some ibuprofen for my worsening cramps.

pinklady, if you exercise any less than 60 minutes minimum 6 days a week, that actually sways blue. So if you can't do the full amount do none at all. Eager to see your test results!

So I rang the doctors again and my blood tests have come back, apparently the doctor has only looked at one my estriadol level and asked that I make an appointment to see them. The cold receptionist won't fit me in tonight as they're full they have no appointments left at all so I have to ring on the day in the morning. Clearly it's not going to be good news , does anyone know that with a bad result is a baby impossible at my age ( I'm 36) I'm so close to a melt down you wouldn't even believe

Really ... That's a bit rubbish, I actually managed to get in the doctors they had a cancellation and apparently I have a slightly elevated hcg result . The last thing I was expecting, I have to another one but I have to wait wait two weeks until they can get me in, I don't think I can wait that long I might have to go private at some point this week. He did say it might be a chemical pregnancy , everything else is apparently within normal range. Estriadol maybe slightly on the low side but not massively and everything else was fine I'm so relieved. I'm so happy all my baby making machinery is ok it's been an emotional roller coaster. By all accounts if it is a baby in there it's no doubt a boy because I haven't been swaying pink really, especially with us saying that about the exercise and other half had only just started cranberry supplements then. So I guess I can do nothing but wait... It's so weird I feel nothing even remotely like pregnant. My boobs were so sore and massive with both boys almost straight away. This whole thing is just a head mash xxx

Hah hah me neither for either of my two boys but I suppose I have to wait and see now what these other hcg tests come back as. If there is a baby there it's due around 5th December . Be lovely if we had managed to cook up a pink princess but time will tell I suppose. Got find out first what's going on and then does anyone know if it's is a chemical and the levels drop will af arrive naturally on its own or does it need some help???

I just read maidens reply too and I was fitting in an hour when I could probably was averaging every other day. The last month was just so busy!
Never mind what done is done. There is always a chance at pink

Fx crossed you have a pink sticky bean in there. Maybe a slow grower! Also I don't think 36 is old to get a baby my mum was 36 with my youngest brother!

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Pinklady, if it is a chemical then AF should arrive on her own. With all three of mine, AF arrived a day or so after the tests had become very faint. I know some ladies though that have to wait maybe a week or so after AF normally arrives.

AF full on here now. I hate how it keeps coming in the evening!

I'm so sorry maiden was so hoping it would be your month, that was a short lp.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

It's my normal LP length actually.

Really I thought everyone's had to be the very minimum of 10days

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Mine averages 10 days but 8 or 9 days isn't uncommon for me. Sometimes I have even shorter ones, as few as 4 days, but not often. I've always had a shorter LP. It's not that unusual.

Oh Maiden I'm so sorry AF arrived!! :( Every month I'm rooting you on, hoping you get your BFP.

Sorry AF showed Maiden. One of these months we will get our BFP!

Just got back from my RE appt, I think it went really well. Met with a different doctor in the practice today and really liked her. She was really impressed with my knowledge I think, lol. That's what happens when you are on a fertility board for a year. :) She was going to up my dosage of Clomid this month since they still weren't happy with my estradiol numbers and the later ovulation but I bought up Femara and she said she really likes that drug and uses it but only for certain groups of infertility patients. Well she looked at my AMH level and was happy with it and said I would be a great candidate. So starting tomorrow I will be 7.5mg days 3-7.

Also she asked if I would be willing to come in for an ultrasound before I ovulate, and I was like YES, I was wondering why that hasn't been brought up in the past and she wasn't sure either. So on CD13 I will be going in to see how my follicles and lining are doing.

Another great thing I learned today was what awesome insurance coverage I have, I switched 2 months ago and hadn't really looked into it much. My new plan covers IUI and up to 4 retrievals of IVF, all completely covered. I couldn't believe it, its nice knowing that's there if need be. I am excited to be trying something different, it gives me hope.
