It took us a 1.5yr. to have our baby. We are hoping for more so we will start soon. It will work out. I strongly believe that God has His perfect timing and it will all be okay! Stay positive and count all of your blessings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2814146 Wed, 04 Apr 2018 06:21:43 +0000 dc yoga bee 2814146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: Hang in there I’m 30 almost 31. It took 13 months and a HSG with my first when I was 26. We’ve been pretty much trying since she was 1, and she will be 3 in May. I started taking coq10 and fish oil supplement because I have PCOS. I had an hsg in March and am currently 5w praying this baby sticks. I had cramping with this pregnancy, but not with my first. I’m rooting for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2814129 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 21:45:26 +0000 justkeira 2814129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having cramps until 14 dpo but AF never arrived until now. 1 day late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796989 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 23:33:31 +0000 annem1990 2796989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of cramping before and after my BFP.

I've decided to wait 2 more months before getting anything checked because I think it will just make me more stressed if everything is fine. I so wish the waiting for everyone was easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796962 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 19:26:15 +0000 crazydoglady 2796962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: just acupuncture at that better form of coq10 that Shantuck explained. I honestly believe it's an odds thing. I did a little research and the average 33 year old's (my age) eggs are healthy enough for fertilization. So, It's just like rolling the dice of when you are going to get that "good egg." Of course there can always be underlying issues and some people just seem to be super fertile (I used to think I was one of them,) but time doesn't always mean something is wrong.</p> <p><a href="http://mobile.dudasite.com/site/montereybayivf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.montereybayivf.com%2Funderstanding-infertility%2Fage-factors%2F&#038;dm_redirected=true#2610" rel="nofollow">http://mobile.dudasite.com/site/montereybayivf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.montereybayivf.com%2Funderstanding-infertility%2Fage-factors%2F&#038;dm_redirected=true#2610</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796950 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 17:35:01 +0000 MamaBear87 2796950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: we got pregnant with our local first month too. I almost feel guilty being upset when I'm not pregnant just because we already have a little and it hasn't been that long. I am thankful I didn't have to do this with my first! </p> <p>You got pregnant naturally right? Did you do anything different this cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796948 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 17:18:06 +0000 crazydoglady 2796948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: I TOTALLY understand. We started TTC right when DS was 21 months because we wanted a 2.5 age gap. It didn't occur to us that it would take more than a couple of months because we got pregnant with DS first try. 9 months later and we got pregnant, so we are looking at a 3 year 2 month age gap if this pregnancy works out. There are so many benefits of different age gaps that it all ends up working out. I hope you don't have to wait much longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796941 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 15:20:55 +0000 MamaBear87 2796941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Lavender: @crazydoglady: @Mrs. Goose: thanks so much for sharing! Makes me feel better that it's not just me. </p> <p>I feel like it's almost worse with a second because every month you don't get pregnant changes the age gap when you sorta have a preconceived notion of what you want.<br /> I'm hopeful my cycle evens out from here though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796940 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 15:10:54 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2796940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: was charting with opks. No temping though.</p> <p>It’s SO hard to chill. I told myself I would for baby 2, but I didn’t. I was more neurotic and stressed. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796937 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 15:03:24 +0000 crazydoglady 2796937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: My luteal phase range too. In the last 9 months TTC, I have had a 13 at the shortest and 16 at the longest. I know they aren't supposed to vary a lot but mine definitely does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796936 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 14:56:00 +0000 Mrs Lavender 2796936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: Just sharing my experience... My lp is an avg of 10 days but I've had 9, 11, 12, and even a 7 day lp back in August. It was ruled I have an lp defect and have been on progesterone suppositories to lengthen it. My hormones were all tested and came back within the normal ranges except for my amh. The good news is you are hitting 12 (even know this cycle was 11.) I would suggest you keep on charting and bring it up to your doctor if it keeps fluctuating. Sorry you are worried, it's so hard! Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796935 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 14:46:08 +0000 MamaBear87 2796935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: yep I remember 😊 were you charting? So know your lp was short? Or you just had a short cycle?<br /> I'm trying to be chill and just go with the flow but it's so dang hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796929 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 14:25:45 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2796929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were October 2015 mamas together. :). The cycle before I got pregnant with my second it was really weird and I had a 25 day cycle and freaked out about my short luteal phase. My previous cycles before that were 30 days. So sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to the things are bodies do and it makes taking control in ttc difficult. </p> <p>I hope you get your bfp soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796928 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 14:13:41 +0000 MamaBear87 2796928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ninja: I've gone back and counted luteal phase numbers and I sometimes run at 12 so 11 isn't totally crazy. This is the downside to charting, your follicular phase can easily be different but your luteal phase should generally be the same </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796896 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 10:21:49 +0000 ninja 2796896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: so sorry. Cycles can be hard to predict. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796895 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 10:20:28 +0000 ninja 2796895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796891 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 10:11:18 +0000 MamaBear87 2796891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Af appeared this morning 😣 ttc is so hard. Now I'm worried my luteal phase is all over the place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796886 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 09:31:29 +0000 MrsA 2796886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my second I had very noticeable cramping, primarily in one location. I remember telling DH that I was either pregnant or something was wrong in there. But it was around 7 dpo, so pretty spot on for implantation. I hope you get an answer soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796882 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 08:41:28 +0000 LAZB 2796882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know I had cramping and spotting for at least one of my pregnancies, and at least cramping for the other two </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-leading-to-bfp#post-2796792 Sat, 13 Jan 2018 12:41:03 +0000 MamaBear87 2796792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone get cramping and brown spotting before getting a bfp?<br /> My temp has gone up pretty significantly the last 2 days but I'm spotting and feel low dull cramping so that's not making me hopeful 😣 I'm 11dpo so still pretty early to test</p> <p>The tww is brutal. Makes me crazy every cycle 😂 </p>
