October 2WW

That's ok. It's those stupid internet cheapies I always think I see things too but ive said to myself if I need to tilt or start squinting.. There's nothing there! To save disappointment. Not that it stops me doing both of those things [emoji16]
None of my friends or DH for that matter, know or understand what it's like. They've all come off of birth control and been pregnant within two months, usually the first month! My SIL got frustrated when she wasn't pregnant the first month she was prescribed clomid as she did the first time she took it, the second cycle it took 2 cycles to catch. That was confusing...! her first son she fell first cycle. And she's currently preg with a girl who took her 2 cycles [emoji23] so she knows it is simply an ovulation issue with her and they will give her clomid and monitor her straight away. Ive been told my problems are hormonal, probably knock-on effects from my dodgy thyroid as anatomically im fine!

It does make it so special when it does.. Finally.. Happen but I'm sure the stress of it all decreases our chances further! Vicious circle!

I do have one good friend with ashermans syndrome so she definitely understands as she is awaiting treatment and surgery for that but her prognosis will eventually be good. Id love for us to fall pregnant around the same time. She is becoming my youngest sons God mother this Sunday [emoji4]

I hear ya! My second oldest sister said when I was pregnant with ds1 that us sisters (there's 3 of us) were meant to make and have babies. My oldest sister only had to be looked at by her dh and she was pregnant! All 3 were oopsies! My other sister fell first month ttc then second month ttc her two boys but me - I took 4 months with first and that was many many attempts each cycle, ds2 took 6 months charting using opks etc. I had emergency c section with ds1 so had scheduled c section with ds2 so NO we were not all made to concieve and have babies naturally and it just rubs salt in the wound that I cant be like them :(

In any case I hope you have a wonderful christening? on Sunday and here's to seeing a bfp next cycle :)

Ahh poptart theres always next cycle (my motto 😂) FX for you xx

Pbn- i believe its worth talking to yourndoc but also staying in the game a bit longer. It usually takes 6 months as they say and with one attempt we have lowered that chance but it wouldn't hurt to investigate things with bloodwork, ultrasounds or semen analysis. Whatever you decide though i wish you all the best xxx but im still hoping for a bfp this cycle 😊

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

Aww thanks netti me too but in all honesty I'm rapidly losing hope... I kinda feel like that bad smell that won't go away iykwim lol!

Yes my mum was a walking fertility textbook! I had a sister when I was 15 as she went away for a week and she forgot her pills! Ive not been on any birth control since having my baby 6 months ago and have been timing etc for 3 months already! Most people say I'm mad with a baby but it's because I don't want a big gap and I know I'm gonna be in for the long haul like I was for 18 months before I fell with number 2!

I am 10dpo today but don't feel even remotely pregnant plus my temps are shocking since that nosedive which can't be normal. I'm going for blood work in the next month so will show my GP then.

Thanks netti xx and pbn there's still hope for you! X

That dip you're referring to looked so similar to 'Taytums' the previous cycle I was so excited for you! If you get a chance have a look in earlyish sep 2ww and you should see it. She got her bfp just after me (ended up cp obviously) I think around page 60-80 of thread from memory?

Just spoke to my GP about my blood test results and ultrasound. She asked me if I thought I had ovulated since my LH must have been high (hence the OPK+) but I said it doesn't look like I did. Using that and the fact I have polycsystic ovaries she is thinking PCOS. I do have a lot of the symptoms for it other than being overweight so I kind of suspected it.

Anyway, she will send my referal to the FS so I just have to wait for my appointment now.

I get frustrated hearing about women who get pregnant so easily too but then reading forums online I also think I'm really lucky as some women try for years.

However, I'm one of those annoying women who's body is made to birth as I had straightforward birthd with both boys (2nd at home). Although I couldn't manage a natural miscarriage without ending up in hospital!

You've had a bfp recently? Sorry I didn't realise, and there's me getting the violin out [emoji112] im really sorry to hear that.

I was slightly optimistic I must admit. Though I try not to read in to things too much. Xx

If it is just pcos then clomid tends to be the golden pill!! So I really hope it is something fairly straightforward so you get your bfp sooner!

I completely agree, some people can't have children full stop so I can't imagine how that must feel xx

I conceived DS1 with clomid first round (after a super long cycle) although the dr didn't think pcos then so will be interesting to see that the new fertility specialist says. I'm hoping clomid does the trick again :)

You sound like my SIL she doesn't take BC and doesn't get pregnant.. 1-2 months of clomid and bfp! It's amazing really! Xx

Yep and that's why I'm so thankful for my boys especially the 1st who gave us quite the scare!! Purple I hope you're able to get whatever you need to achieve that elusive bfp it seems this month!!
And poptart its fine!! I had a good line at 7dpo last cycle that slowly got lighter until I could only just make it out at 10dpo. It was my own fault for testing so early but of course I didn't learn my lesson! In a weird way I'm glad my tests have been flat out bfns so I haven't had to go through that again :)

Ohh bless you I had no idea. [emoji26] there's no feeling like seeing those 2 lines together so to then have it taken away again must be dreadful.

Your time will come, as will all of ours xx

Poptart- ikwym about age gaps. My eldest 2 are 10 and 7 but my youngest 2 are 2 and 8 months id like this next one nice and close too.

FX for getting some answers purple even though its frustrating

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

Sorry to see the bfn poptart! :( I really did think I saw a hint of a line. Hoping November is your month.

Purple that's great your referral is being sent and hope you get seen soon.

Pbn it might be worth going back to your GP and seeing what they had in mind, even if you need to fudge the truth a little x

Netti and has2 I'm only barely ahead of you I'd say so hoping you two O at the weekend so I will be able to compare symptom spotting with you lol! Netti what did your opk look like after your hold?

Afm just as I was laying down in bed last night around 10.30pm I had a very strong sharp pain in my right. It was enough to make me sit up and gasp so I am going to call that O and in my impatience I will say I am 1 dpo today lol ;) Telling myself I won't test until at least Oct 20th so hoping I can hold out that long.

I would love smaller age gaps but DH is adamantly against them lol. There is 23 months between our boys and if we got lucky this cycle there would be a minimum of 28 almost 29 months between DS2 and DC3.

This thread is going to go off when someone gets a BFP!!! Come on gals - you can do it!!! :cheer:

I have decided to take the Clomid again. Starting today, CD 3. I have to do the tracking again as the fertility Dr said its not safe not to be monitored, but the receptionist had told me that I could take it without monitoring (then got in trouble for telling me that) so I don't have to pay for this cycle.

Pbn - I'm 'thinking' this will be my last cycle ttc, but I bet I will be tossing up going again if it ends in a BFN :wink:

Good luck hopper!! So excited you're in the 'official' 2ww as such! Fx and hope the time passes quickly to test time!!

Immi all my best wishes for you!! We
started together way back when, imagine us both getting bfps to finish!! All the best to you I hope the clomid does everything and more for you! (As in girl sway not multiples lol)!!

Glad your in the tww hopper. I tend to have some severe O pains. FX🙏🙏🙏

My opk does look a shade darker so im glad i retested. I'll likely keep using the cheapies for a few days and maybe sat or sun ill try a trusted brand. The bottom test is from this afternoon. Still a while away from a positive but better than blank 😊

Best of luck immi. It certainly has been quiet on the bfp side we have to change that ☺



Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

Is boysboys the only bfp this month????

I think so. we really need some more bfps 😄

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

I just read the old thread with taytums bfp pbn! It was on about the 34th page [emoji28] wow there were loads of bfp's! We need to get some come on girls!!!!!!!! [emoji38]

I saw the dip yes but I didn't see what happened afterwards. I was hoping mine would shoot back up but it bloody hasn't!

Ahh I see just went into your chart. It'll be fx in any case to see what your chart does in morning. Have you ever had a dip like that b4?

Great that this cycle is free Immi! Hope it's the one - they say the best things in life are free right ;) Heres hoping :)

Thanks pbn, hope the tww isn't too horrendous lol. I might have to skip logging in here for a few days to try put the tww to the back of my mind!!! Haha we'll see how that goes! The second I get a spare moment I am logging on for updates lol.

Thanks netti, I generally get O pains too but not too bad. Thankfully I didn't wake DS2 who I am STILL co sleeping with! :D
And glad to see your lines getting a little darker netti. Bring on the weekend!

Oh bless you poptart having to scroll through the Sept thread lol. Lots of bfps and only two here thus far. Who is past O and due to test in the coming days? We need more bfps!!!

Good luck immi! I'll be taking clomid again this month!

Cmon netti wanna see that positive opk [emoji120]

Pbn ive not temped for long last month I had a dip at 5dpo but not below the cover line but my overall temps weren't as high as this month and this month they're still lower than they should be! Something is def wonky, look forward to having bw done.
Xx

Pb, I think you should definitely talk to your doctor. Sometimes, it can be the easiest fix. For my sister it was taking something to help improve her egg quality, not clomid.

If it took longer with your boys I just wouldn't stop quite yet. I know you were at peace with your decision at the beginning of the month and I need to shut my mouth!lol I just want you to get your BFP though. :)

My chart updated to show cross hairs today on Monday (cd11) but non of my other fertility signs line up, including that I haven't had a single pos opk and I've been testing 2-3 times a day. If that's the case, I'm out for sure this month since we only bd Tuesday unprotected. We dtd Friday but it was protected because I was still spotting some from AF.

I thought I was out the month I got my BFP with this bub. I didn't get a pos opk either, got cross hairs on CD12, and no other signs or symptoms. Bam, BFP at what FF said was 10-12 DPO!!

FX for you!!


DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!

We also BDed when I was still lightly spotting from AF too!!

That one was protected though, my first (and only) attempt this cycle was the day of my temp spike. I feel like that temp was a fluke though, since today's was pretty low for post o

I haven't been back to see her but thinking I might make an appointment just to see what she actually had in mind. I would have to fudge the truth a little and say we had multiple attempts each cycle but I'm starting to get curious as to what she meant by other options?? I hate the thought of lying to her she has been our family doctor for so long but my curiosity is starting to get the better of me!!!!!

Don't lie. Just say nothing unless she asks (mine never has) and if she dies ask simply answer that you had "multiple well timed attempts" as in multiple cycles with a well timed attempt. She'll assume you meant each cycle and you don't have to lie. ;)
