marigold ,7 cycles hurt. It all hurts when TTC. I am sorry, But you aren't our yet correct? I never pull a positive until 14dpo. Never in all 5 of my pregnancies. LOL. I'm not officially out (just mentally lol!). I'm having a hard time being optimistic. any update marigold? i’m thinking about you!

My temperature dropped this morning, so I didn't bother testing. Expecting CD1 tomorrow.

I’m not 100% sure what DPO I am, but my boobs have been KILLING me for days now. I’ll probably test on Saturday morning.

Bfn today, 12 dpo. We've been trying for 8 months. I got pregnant with DS on my 8th cycle, and now I'm feeling very discouraged, too. Cried on the way to work this morning. Trying to hold on to hope that I'm not out yet.

I'm frustrated. I think I'm 3 DPO today, but FF hasn't given me an O date. I think it was Monday based on a bunch of things, and if I'm right our timing was pretty good. I had a big rise today so if it decides I O'd yesterday, I guess timing is still fine but not as great. I still think Monday though. My temps were kind of all over in the first half of the cycle, probably because the weather has been all over down here, so I think we're all confused.
I'm just frustrated because I used to be so good at charting. I did it for years for birth control (not on its own, but I liked having the knowledge) so by the time we were TTC last time (in 2014, eesh) I was really aware of when I was ovulating. I haven't really tracked a cycle since, other than tracking when my periods start and generally being aware of CM. It's fine if it takes a couple of months to get back into it, mostly I'm just annoyed with myself because I could have been catching up before we were ready to try. Oh well.
As a weird observation though, I remember back when I used to do this, I'd have the initial rise after O, then on 3DPO it would always drop again to around the coverline, and then keep rising... except the cycle we conceived DS, I had a rise on 3DPO instead of a drop. Maybe it was hot that day or something, there's really no way to know that was why (and would that even be a thing? Looking back at that chart I'm pretty sure I have an implantation dip a few days later) and there's no reason to read anything into it... except that that's the only time it happened, and I had a good rise again today. So. Hmm... (But again, maybe that's just normal for me now and I don't know it because I haven't been charting)

Trying to hold on to hope that I'm not out yet. I’m sorry. I feel like I’m in a similar boat. I had a relatively easy time getting pregnant with DD and never imagined it would be such a struggle to get pregnant a second time and actually stay pregnant.

It is nice to have a place to vent, though. No one in my life knows we're TTC except 1 friend, and she got pregnant pretty quickly every time, so she doesn't really get it.

Hi. It’s been a long time since I’ve been around but I need to dump this somewhere that people get it. I didn’t track this cycle so I don’t know for sure when I ovulated. I had a suuuuper squinter on Friday and then a clear positive yesterday and this morning. I just got back the blood results from yesterday’s draw and my hcg was only 3.7. So unfortunately looks like a loss for me. I had 2 losses before my 2 LC were born and the pain of this one is bringing me back to some really hard times. Thanks for letting me throw this out here.

TTC truly is the worst. i feel like i’ve been good this week. as in not emotionally fucked up and acting brand new with my google searches. but we are entering fertile week territory and my nerves are creeping up. i’m not exactly sure when i’ll ovulate because of our loss early this month and we don’t want to track this cycle. it was nice not to stress with OPKs last month (and it worked obviously!) fingers crossed for everyone this cycle!

I'm sorry FearsyCD1 came early for me. I don't know if that means my O day was off, or my LP was short this month.

I have cheapies coming today. I'm gonna start peeing on all the things. But it's only 6dpo so I'm not expecting anything to show up.

So very sorry to all who are struggling in this process. Hugs all around.
I haven't taken birth control since college, so maybe I'm forgetting, but this BC has me an absolute mess. I can't stop crying over every silly thing. Can't wait to get the go ahead to stop and start my estrogen.

Hi guys! I’m not very active, but I was on the 3T board on the Bump back in 2011/2012 when TTC my twins.
We’ve been trying for a sibling for 4 or 5 years now. I had excision for endometriosis in August and have been working with an RE since October. We will try one more cycle of femara + Gonal F + IUI before moving on to IVF.
Month/cycle: 4th with RE Timing: -3, -2, O, 1 CD/DPO: 22/11dpo Symptoms: lower back pain, some cramps. Light BFP but it’s due to the booster HCG trigger shot. Should be gone by tomorrow. RRCS: Feeling pretty down about moving on to IVF but don’t want to continue throwing money at IUIs. GTKY: No real resolutions, trying to focus more on our mental health.

Just got a squinter on a clinical guard test. I thought I was somewhere around 12DPO but my app says I’m closer to 10/11DPO. I’m not getting my hopes up but will take a FRER in the AM.

I may be getting my hopes up but I think I saw the start of *something* on a test I just took. 8dpo. I'm testing with FMU tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed it's darker??

Well I took a FRER this morning and a line popped up in 30 seconds. It’s the darkest line I’ve had since DD!
I’m keeping everything crossed that this sticks. I’ll probably wait to call the OB until I get to my missed period Wednesday/Thursday to make sure I don’t start bleeding again like last time.

Yay katespade!!!!! As for me. Nothing more than a "maybe there might be something there" it's 9dpo, but I got a positive with my third at 9dpo so I'm not holding my hopes up.

I can’t seem to get darker lines yet on the clinical guard, but I’m taking solace in the FRER lighting up right away. I’m still 2-3 days away from my expected period anyway. I’ve been in my head all day though. I’m so terrified this won’t stick and I just want it to be real and stick/grow in the right spot and just come home with me this time.
