charliefox I know I said it in the other place already but I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this on top of everything else. I hope the meds work quickly!

I am officially in my least favorite part of my cycle. I had a tiny bit of spotting and a negative test on 11dpo. Today is 13dpo and no AF yet. Some very light spotting today, almost non existent. If I'm out, I just want AF to start so I can face the next cycle.

This chart however looks very similar to last month with my CP though. Spotting on 11dpo, temp drop, then rise. The chart over lay is almost the same. I don't want to remain hopeful, but maybe I'm still in? My gut says no, so if I'm out, please AF just get here already.

Charts from this month and last. Green is my CP chart, purple is now. High temp from drinking on 2dpo, and high temps early this cycle from being sick.

SPOILER: Click to show

Yogurt I'd stay hopeful until AF shows. When is it due? Did you test today?

Month/Cycle: I don’t even know. 14/13?


CD/DPO: 19/9


Timing: not bad. Had sex the night before O, and the night after at Dr’s “it can’t hurt” advice.


RRCS: This was supposed to be our third IUI this cycle, but I had already ovulated when I went to the doc to check on egg maturation. High dose of clomid this month so I dropped two eggs (a first for me), so maybe we got it done? I’m weirdly hopeful, even though I know I shouldn’t be.

[shakinros]

sammysam I am feeling you with the discouragement. I want to stop after this cycle. I don’t think I can take the disappointment much longer. DH wants to go one more month. We won’t be doing IVF - no insurance coverage for that and we can’t pay out of pocket. I don’t know what DH thinks is going to happen in the next cycle that hasn’t happened in the previous 15ish tries.

[sammysam]

shakinros I hope this is your month! I'm thinking of giving it until May. So 3 more months. Then I think I'm done too. I just feel too much like my life is on hold while TTC and I can't handle month after month of disappointment. Plus I stop working out etc while TTC because I'm so paranoid that it will negatively affect our efforts (no matter how irrational it sounds) and I need to start getting back to myself. We talked about it before we started TFAS and agreed we wouldn't do fertility treatments. I agreed to 6 months last time but ended up getting pregnant with our loss on the 6th month. I'm doing the same this time...might stretch it until July depending on how I'm feeling...but if it hasn't happened by then I know I'm done. I just want to enjoy DD and not have to stress about TTC.

ETA: SO is the one who is really pushing for a second so if I agree to trying a few extra months it will be for him.

Still no AF. Very, very miniscule spotting. 14dpo. Haven't tested. I just would rather see AF than another bfn. I got my bfp last month at 15dpo. My obvious worry is that if i dont get AF, this cycle will be just like last one right down to the CP.

I had a pretty clear negative yesterday but it was with no hold and in the evening.

[sammysam]

Yogurt What did your temps look like this morning? I would say this just shows a pattern for getting pregnant...which is a good thing! I so hope you get a positive and go on to have an uneventful pregnancy. One miscarriage does not increase the risk of a second. Try to stay positive:)

[Yogurt]

This month's chart plus the overlay with last month.

[Yogurt]

Another clear negative and no AF. Just get here already! (Or don't)

[sammysam]

Yogurt if temps are still up I'd keep testing. Was it still up this morning?

Temp down a little, but well above coverline. Negative test at 15dpo with fmu.
No spotting at all.

[sammysam]

Yogurt That's crazy. I'd keep testing. How long is your LP normally? I feel like if AF was going to show it would have already. Especially since you spotted a bit and nothing came of it. Some people don't see a positive for more than a week after AF is due. Maybe just late implantation?

Ugh, I could scream. I have had my shortest LP being 10 days and my longest 14. My cycle has become more and more "normal" since weaning and this is first cycle 100% weaned from day cd1. I don't think I can trust past usual LPs as an indicator of me being "late". Like my LP is probably lengthening to a full 14 day LP and AF will be here any second. Like, it couldn't be negative today and me be pregnant. I can't even get my hopes up. I just think I'm getting my cycle more regulated and FF just has to catch up to my new normal. I bet cd1 is tomorrow or later today. I just want it to get here already.

Eta, this is my 10 post partum cycle, and I was nursing for 9 of them

[sammysam]

Yogurt I totally get it. I was BFing DD until she was just over 3.5. We would have gone longer but with the hemorrhage, surgery and then a week long hospital stay my milk dried up:/ We tried a bit longer when I got out of the hospital but it just wasn't the same. So we were fully weaned by the end of October. My LP went from 8 days to 10 and my cycle is now at 25 days instead of 23. It still seems weird to me that you spotted for a few days at the beginning of the week but then nothing. You have way more self control than me. Even when I know I'm not pregnant I still want to pee on things just in case. If you feel like AF is going to show then I hope it shows soon so you can move on to the next cycle. Sorry this is such a crap situation for you:(

[Yogurt]

Haha, sammysam, what self control?! Lol, i say i wont test, but then i always do. Ive had bfns from day 11dpo, 14 and 15 i think. I've got no chill.

[Yogurt]

Cd1 has arrived. Glad that guessing game is over.

[sammysam]

Yogurt Glad you can at least move on. I've got high hopes for both of us this cycle:)

[shakinros]

11dpo and a BFN this morning. I feel like my period is going to start anytime now sooooo yeah.

I didn’t tell DH I tested this morning cause he was super stressed about some other stuff. He thinks we’re testing tomorrow, but I may put it off till Monday to give AF a chance to just start already.

[sammysam]

Sorry shakinros . I always felt like my period was coming on cycles I was actually pregnant. And with my loss I had a very negative HPT on CD 11 but a line showed up on CD 12. You're not out until you're out:)

[shakinros]

Thanks sammysam. I appreciate the kind words!

[Yogurt]

shakinros last month I also had a bfn on 11dpo and stopped testing. I got the positives on 15dpo

[sammysam]

shakinros did you test again today? Just being nosey:)

[shakinros]

No need sammysam. AF came overnight. Blah.

I’ll call my RE tomorrow, but we already have a consult scheduled Tuesday afternoon. This was our third Clomid/IUI cycle. My insurance doesn’t cover IVF and we can’t pay out of pocket for it. I don’t know what else the doctor can tell us.
