Jan 2016 TTC / Testing - New Year BFPs!

Sorry Nann, I know that feeling well. I'm in the middle of cycle 7 so it feels like forever. It's been difficult to adjust to the "infertility" title as we were pregnant twice very quickly. It doesn't make sense that my body just shut down like this. Oh well. Just think each month that it takes is another month your dd will be more independent so you can focus on the baby.

9dpo is soooo early to test. I saw a visual about implantation and it made it so clear why most of us don't usually get early bfps. 11dpo seems to be the best day to test early.

We were able to get 4 attempts in about 48 hours of ovulation and one was the IUI with 22 million sperm so I'm soooo hopeful! [emoji120] The problem is my eggs so I'm hoping the acupuncture and yoga has helped me. I'm scared about only one follicle since my eggs may not be quality. Oh well, nothing left to do but wait for what seems like forever. I'm really taking the positive route though. I'm not googling things anymore and saying my affirmations. Anyone else do those?

So sorry nann, hope next month is yours and that is frustrating maidentomother but I agree it is still two early.

Maidentomother I use the clear blue fertility monitor, I spent a few months using the opks, because I did not want to shell out for the sticks for the fertility monitor and for three months I got not one single positive, was freaking me out. I have even got negatives with the opks when the fm said I was ovulating!

I went for a four mile run today and now am sore not like cramps more, A heaviness in my womb area, which is really uncomfortable and sometimes a bit sore, wondering if it is af? Anyone exercise in the 2 ww? Thanks
Maidentomother bring on the bfp! :-) x

Quinn, I know you're right, but I see a fair number of women on Fertility Friend get BFPs at 8 & 9DPO so it makes me think maybe I will too. Plus I felt weird pains on 6-7DPO. I even used one of my 10miu SurePredicts. And it really is rare for my urine to have colour.

it sounds like you are doing everything you can so I am optimistic for you!

Girlie, I am the same way, I almost never get true positive OPKs, but the CBFM and Advanced OPK give me Peaks/work great! That's part of what I meant about being a bad urine tester. I never got a BFP on a HPT with my last (twin) pregnancy that I miscarried at 5w. I think it's a combo of being a hyper metabolizer and having dilute urine.

If I were exercising I would definitely excerise all cycle long, way more effective for swaying and helps your circulation which is good for implantation. The heavy feeling could be anything!

Good luck Quinn! Everything sounds really promising for you!

Sounds like an awesome attempt this month Quinn, fingers crossed for you.

Quinn - really hope this is your cycle. Fx for you.

Maiden - fx this is your bfp cycle too.

Girlie - I agree with maiden about exercise. Exercising during tww is good & helps with swaying still especially if you get a bfn. I was slack though my last tww & didn't really exercise. I regret it now as I have put on more weight. Luckily I am swaying blue but don't need excess weight. Wanted to only put on 2 kgs & so far since swaying have put on about 4.5 kgs.

I'm cd12 today & no pos opk's yet. Expect to get one tomorrow or Wednesday.

My temp keeps dropping so I really think I'm out. I just hope AF comes SOON, like tomorrow! Or even today would be fine, I am cramping again. I just hate these long cycles.

Farmgirl, I hope you see a positive OPK soon.

Then when it didn't work I wanted to try again - I can see the temptation for keeping going until you succeed. It is really very hard to walk away from this dream. If our IVF had worked I would be due this month. I had always said I wanted to have our last baby by the end of 2015 but I think we will give it one more month. Because of my long cycles I will actually miss ovulating in January and it would be into Feb. Then I can really say I tried as hard as I could, I tried everything. I really don't fancy a December baby and for me personally I feel the age gap between my kids etc will be getting too big to be looking to go into 2017. All my boys will be at school this year and I know it will be too hard to go back to the baby stage, plus I had really wanted to have my last child before I was 35 and I will be 36 soon. I know lots of people have kids later these days, including lots of my friends and my own parents, but for me I just wanted to be done by my mid 30s and time is running out! Im a planner! I really hope it's worked this month so I can just stop with the obsessing and uncertainty. I think we are all in a similar boat though!

I was going to be due this month too if I hadn't miscarried. By the time I have another (if it happens) both my boys will be in school or almost in school. My youngest starts preschool next month. I also wanted to be a bit younger too :(

One is Virgo and the other is Libra. Born the same month but different star signs :)

So sorry about your miscarriage purple. I did have an embryo transferred but she didn't stick. Oh maybe I should stop being such a planner and wanting everything to fit into my life so perfectly?!! Maybe I'm supposed to have a huge age gap. Who knows.....

Anyway I also caved and did a frer this morning. Another stark white negative. This is getting very disheartening now. I think I'm 11dpo, af due Saturday, possibly Friday, so although it's early testing it could technically show a positive?

Both great signs, purple! It's why a September baby is always win.

Ttc, those stark white negatives are so awful. :(
