Oh Maxim, I'm so sorry [emoji22]. Take care of yourself. I think sometimes it can take a bit for BFPs to come to pink swayers. Just know that I believe that it WILL happen!! I just realized I have some leftover Clomid...PM me...

Thanks for your support ladies! I'm kind of at a loss here. I know I was younger when I conceived DD1/2, but I could have never imagined that it would take me this long to try unsuccessfully for a third. My sisters all got pregnant first try, as well as my mom with her 4, and so it's just strange to me. I know that we are EXTREMELY lucky, don't get me wrong...it's just strange and I'm trying to figure out what could have changed. The only two things that I can think of: 1) my husband got on celexa back in January. He has a verrrrry stressful job and it has done wonders for making him relax and think through things more clearly, so not sure that I can ask him to get off of it, but wondering if that is somehow messing with the sperm? Of course it has to be him, not me! :giggle: 2) when I was pregnant with DD2, I found out that my uterine lining was thin at 25 weeks as I started having contractions. I was monitored weekly to make sure that I wouldn't go into labor early. When I went into my u/s several months ago, the lady also mentioned thin uterine lining. Last cycle, I got a very faint line on hcg, as well as this cycle. I wonder if the sperm is meeting the egg, but just not implanting correctly due to that? If anyone knows about either of these scenarios (or atomic if you're reading this), could you please give me your 2 cents?
I'm going to call my ob tomorrow or the next day once AF starts to schedule my u/s. I'm sad, but definitely not giving up! I need to talk to DH tonight, not sure how excited he is going to be to try for another month, as well as clomid/femera, especially since we initially agreed to trying for just one month! Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks ladies! Hope everyone else is having a good morning/day!
Pbn - YAY for earlier appt!!
Max - I think you should call your OB and see what they will check. You *might* need to fib about numbers of months you've been trying if you've only been trying 1 month, did I read that right?? Usually they will want to confirm you are ovulating and make sure your tubes aren't blocked. But, ask about the lining. I had a chemical 3 years ago, lost baby at 5 1/2 weeks, as earlier as that was I was devastated and these are all the things they were going to check along with progesterone. I got pregnant before I got checked though. She also wanted to do a SA on my husband, but again we never got around to it. My OB said I need to say I had been trying for 6 months for insurance, when it had only been 2. I think my tears helped her fib [emoji12] I think you need to talk to your husband first though and see if he's on board. Im (again) are in the same situation in that my husband said this month and next because he's training super hard for a climb in July and doesn't want added pressure of TTC. I'm telling myself I'm at peace with that, but I won't really know until then.

As for me - opks are suppose to be here by 8 tomorrow night!!! I'm excited, Thursday would've been cutting it close.

I'm sorry Max! I'm in the exact same boat as you know & I'd love to hear the input from others as well!! Who knew #3 would be so stubborn?! It's so easy for others on the outside looking in to think that we already have it all. Like you said, we are sooo lucky to have our amazing kiddos!! I am thankful for what I have every single day!! However, it's so discouraging when you want something so bad & everyone around you seems to get it so easily. It makes me wonder what's wrong with me & of course want my sweet baby girl even more!! Good things come to those who wait :) We WILL make this happen! Hope you get in to your dr soon. Excited my appt is tomorrow yay [emoji4]

Kat-good advice to Max...helped me too! I am going on month 5 ttc, but maybe I should say 6 tomorrow??

Lola I would for sure say 6 months tomorrow lol they'll never know and maybe will work harder to find answers for you. I hope your appointment goes well

Lola just checked out your chart! Only about 4 days till O EEKKKK.... we need you and everyone else in the ddg!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Also Lola - I will say with my 2nd DD it took me 5 months to get pregnant bc we were basically getting 1 attempt in at O (girl sway). I wasn't swaying, was 50/50 on wanting girl/boy, but we just didn't have sex but once/twice a week and I didn't really want to change anything to get pregnant. But I'm wondering if that might be why it's taking you longer than normal since in the past you were doing more attempts. Don't change your BD routine though - I want you to get your girl [emoji175][emoji175][emoji175] Is your appt tomorrow about TTC or just your annual?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Aww Max. I just want to scoop you up and take away your frustration. I was exactly where you are now and was so upset. My boys came so easily and this pregnancy took almost a year. I started questioning everything down to if I was even capable anymore. Then it happened. I know it's going to happen for you. I just know it. [emoji307]
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks ladies, truly! It's hard to talk about it with friends here (especially since some of them think we are crazy to even have more after we are out of the "hard" stages), so I really do appreciate all of your sweet notes. Lola, so excited for you and looking forward to hearing what your doctor says. Definitely say 6 months of ttc! :)
Dreaming, thank you! I know it will eventually happen if DH is onboard for continuing to try...just don't know how long he will be onboard, you know?!
This will be our 5th month next cycle of trying (I just looked and I joined in December 2016!)! So Lola we are in the exact same shoes! My cycles are just super long and unpredictable at times, so it takes much longer than I would like!
Maxim, lolla, sky. I am waiting for you people for BFP this month. Never get disappointed, there is light after every darkness. I like the patience you girls have. Keep it and remain motivated.

Hello Ladies.
Sorry I have bn super crazy busy the past couple of days. I did try to take a peak whenever I could.
Max - So sorry. I hope u get a bfp soon. What dpo are u? It's a good idea to go see the OB. I just feel that it does take time when u want a girl. Fx u get a bfp soon and dh is still on board.
Lolla - Can't wait for ur appointment. Pls update soon.
Pbn - I m waiting to hear about your appointment. Praying and have faith that all will be good.
LMSM - How are u doing? What cd are u at?
Kat - Thankyou for the tip on Preseed. I do get a fair amount of Ewcm around O so this is a good to know information.
Thankyou for asking about me ladies. Hope all the pregnant ladies doing ok.
We had quite a weekend. I m exhausted and so sleepy and it's only Monday. [emoji12]
I started testing with the digi yesterday and still blank smiley. Honestly, I am not very confident about this cycle. I have really been lazy in taking my folic acid and prenatals due to being super busy. Also had a few drinks over the weekend since we were with friends and family. I hate to go into O like this. Still thinking of giving it the best shot and see what happens. Will keep u posted. Will start testing more often with wondfos now.

Sky I've heard from multiple educators (lol can't think of anything better to call them) it's not one or two days that matter in the diet it's the whole in general. I think you'll get your bfp this cycle 🤞

Hi ladies! For some reason I couldn't get service at work today. Couldn't wait to check in to see what I've missed today!!
Max-I will def keep you posted on what the dr says. Maybe we have something similar going on. I know you feel like you're out already, but tomorr is either 11 or 12 dpo right? You're not out until AF shows!
Kat-Yay for OPKs!! Almost POAS time!! So, I'm going to the dr to discuss my super duper extra heavy AF, mention my past chemical & see if there's any reason it's taking so long to conceive. Your words are encouraging though. Maybe it's it's just the amount of attempts holding me back as you mentioned. If this means I will get my girl...I have all the motivation in the world! "I can if I want" haha-Dreaming, you give me so much hope! It may take time, but it CAN happen. I bet you're getting your girl since it has taken so long & you waited patiently [emoji175]
Sumbal-thanks for your sweet words! Love the encouragement here!!
Ash-I know crazy I'm about to O all over again! Without meds & the upcoming family beach weekend, I'm not too confident this time. How are you feeling?
Pbn-how are you doing? Is your appt in a few hours? Can't wait to hear!! Huge hugs & praying for good numbers [emoji106]

Sky-didn't mean to leave you out! So glad you're not giving up this cycle! I'm not too confident in this cycle for me either...so we're in this together!! [emoji173]

Morning ladies,
Max – so sorry that this doesn’t look like a bfp :( – definitely worth having a chat with your OB – if your lining is a bit thin then progesterone supplements might just do the trick for you! I have been on those for both my pregnancies until the end of the 1st trimester and am convinced that is what helped my bubs be sticky – the one pregnancy I didn’t get progesterone (as was not a medicated cycle and not seeing my fertility specialist) I lost so if your lining is thin, it may be your progesterone levels are a tad low. Did you get pregnant 1st try with both your girls? (if so, wow, am impressed, can’t imagine being so fertile one day haha).
Chin up, you’ll get that sweet girl soon - I read somewhere that baby is just not ready to meet you yet, this is just a delay, not a stop on the road to get you to meet - you will get that beautiful sister for your girls – big hugs!
Sky – thanks for asking – all good, temp continues to be high-ish so O should be confirmed on the chart tomorrow – the only bummer is that if no BFP this cycle and AF shows up, it probably will be juuust as am away for a conference in Sydney and hence have to be available all day (I have a 6am flight – will be up at 4 …gah) for 2 days – and won’t be able to do my usual take it easy, pop the pain relief pills and hot water bottle and jammies on at night (endometriosis makes my AF very painful) lol
It’s just waiting now – too early to know what the go is – in a week’s time I may be able to start feeling one way or another – and verdict time cannot come fast enough :)
I can see you will be stocked up on opks – let the POAS begiiiin ^^
Pbn – thinking of you – you’re only just over an hour away from your appointment – can’t wait to hear when you get back!
Lola – your appointment is today (Tuesday) – isn’t it?? FX you walk out of there with a plan! ^^
Ash – oh how sweet of your brother – that baby is going to be surrounded by love :D
Iwant4 – how are you feeling now?
Dreaming – how are going - and when is it you have your 1st appointment? (sorry, getting myself confused with all these pregnant ladies ^^)
Sumbal – is hubby excited about the pregnancy? when is your 1st appointment planned?
Kat – hard to align everyone’s desires and needs – when the body is aching for a baby, it is hard to put that on the back burner isn’t it?
So if all goes well, after hubby’s climb in July it’s all systems go for you to TTC? He’s otherwise keen TTC?
Oh – and btw – I have a random question for you ladies: how did you announce your 3rd pregnancy to DH? I find that he was less enthusiast the 2nd time around, and am worried that he may not jump up and down for a 3rd (not because he’s not happy but more because it’s not “new” – been there done that kind of a thing).
So am trying to think of creative cute meaningful ways to tell him (hopefully soon!) – can the brain trust here share idea pretty please? :D
(I am not the kind that does a HPT with her husband – I rather do that in my own bubble then get excited, bounce around all day in excitement while keeping it secret until I can announce it to him in a special way ^^)
PS: Toddler lesson #32,749,120 - Do not ever ever leave a full box of soap flakes next to the washing machine – your toddler might think it fun to put whole said box in said machine on the way in from the garden, unbeknownst to her mother who then puts a whole load of washing in (silly not to check, yes, I know lol) - mother then finds a washing machine that has sh*t itself, full of foam (and carton pieces – evidence of former box) and spends her evening getting out foaming clothes to rinse along with the machine , mopping the floor.
True story – don’t tell me you weren’t warned lmao :laundrypole:
That's funny LMSM I've never had soap in there but with toddlers there are so many things I find. The worst two cardboard books and diapers [emoji17] it takes so long getting the diaper gel out once it's exploded
That is hilarious LMSM! Nothing in the washing machine (yet), but apparently Marshall from Paw patrol ended up in our kitchen sink...not a very good sound when I turned the garbage disposal on-lol. My appt is Tues & I can't wait!!! It's still Monday in my neck of the woods....but it will be here soon! I recently had a chemical back in March. Faint lines-they were def pink & noticeable-they just never got darker and AF showed :( The only person I told was DH & I did surprise him. It was the day after DS2's Birthday & I told him that there was another present for the boys. They each pulled out a "big brother" shirt and a toy car (b/c I knew they wouldn't be too excited about the shirt). They are 2 & 3 so it went over their heads, but DH caught on right away & he was so excited. I wish I could post the video somehow...
My Ovulation Chart
Lola somehow I missed your earlier post. I feel nothing still sore bbs every so often. I'm not to optimistic it will be a sticky bean. part of the reason I haven't told anyone.
I love your announcement to dh how sweet! [emoji22] so sorry it didn't work out. Was he upset also? Maybe O will come on cd 12 or 13 and you'll be perfect for timing! I'm hopeful for you and sky this cycle I can't wait to see what it brings for you ladies. My youngest sons are 2 and 3 also lol it's so much fun and a hand full for sure!
Max-I often think the same thing!! Why do we have to wait so long...why can't we just know when we're pregnant right away?? You have some promising signs though! Fx that you'll have a BFP tomorrow!
My Ovulation Chart
Ash-try not to worry (easier said than done I know!). You're still in the early stages & may not feel anything right now. I've mentioned this before & don't want to sound like a broken record, but I didn't feel anything until 6 weeks, then had bad MS until 15 weeks. I had terrible food aversions. For DS2, I barely had any MS at all, but everything was just fine [emoji170] Praying that all goes well with you & that this is your sweet baby girl [emoji175]Each day is getting you closer to your appt [emoji4]
For my CP, my DH was disappointed, but he's better at following the "everything happens for a reason" saying. I believe it, but doesn't seem to make it any easier for me.
Here are my recent OPKs-look how dark they are at CD7 & 8....one of the many things I'll discuss with my OB!

Thanks Lola! I know I've said this a minion times lol I would seriously be in major shock if I actually had a girl! My sway wasn't strong, I got pregnant on second cycle, and well I already have 4 boys! Will be stalking tomorrow. What time is your appointment?
Lol LMSM sounds like my crazy place, poop painting is my worst 😂😂 My DH is kinda like that, over it as its nothing new. now i usually just blurt it out 😂 id probably tell my DH my vag is free reign for 9 months lol 🤣
Sorry to hear about that Lola.
Kat it sure is a big waiting game. My DH hates the whole 9 month waiting 😂
Fx fx fx so tight Max. I used to get really creamy CM which is how i knew i was pg.
Pbn waiting to hear from you 💗
Ash hope you are well
Iwant4 hope you are well xx
I have been to the DRS. They want fasting bloods so I won't be able to get those til Thursday morning however my ultrasound is booked in tmro afternoon. As well as beta hcg she is doing a whole bunch of other tests and hormones. Pap smear is up to date too.
I said to her if it wasn't for my af id think I was pg. And would you believe it, ive had nausea start last night at work on and off and tmi those strange sharp cervix twangs you get in the early pg. Im not sure if my boys are sharing germs but none of them appear to be sick atm. Its likely some strange horrible coincidence. Im just hoping im not getting some horrid vomiting bug as i have 1 more night left.
I haven't pee'd on a stick since yesterday and it was questionable faint line. Ill just wait for all my test results

Wow Lola do you feel like you are about to ovulate soon?
I agree the 6-8 week mark was my wammo your pregnant take all this nausea, irritation and yucky feeling. Hard not to worry though until you have that 1st ultrasound.
