AF came last night, so you can count me out
on to cycle 6.. I never thought it would take us so long to get pregnant. I'm really trying to stay positive but it has become so hard. One day we will be able to start our family 
-
Thank you all!
Fx to those still in for this month, and sending luck to those moving onto next month!

@Ashleyf21: There are a bunch of us on this thread in the same boat! I'm on cycle 7 and also never imagined it would take this long. Getting AF on cycle 6 was really hard for me--I cried a lot. It's so draining and the frustration & disappointment can really wear on you. I am trying to stay hopeful for this month and then we are taking a break next cycle to regroup. Thinking of you

Hi ladies!
I didn't join this month cause I was attempting to take it easy and not think about it. Ha!
I just need to share my crazy...
I *think* I ovulated Thur/Fri last week, based on CM. I have a really short LP so when I saw spotting this Thur, I totally thought I was out and AF was here. But nothing yet.
So being crazy I have totally convinced myself that couple have been from implantation and now symptom spotting is in full effect. Latest one: I'm at my parents' having some watermelon and it totally tasted bitter to me. My mom looked at as if I'm crazy. Totally a symptom, right?!
Oh man, haha.

@angelachase I know! It makes it easier to talk to
People going through the same pain and frustration. I'm trying to stay positive, but it isn't easy all the time. I have two good friends that are pregnant right now and they keep telling me I just need to relax and it will happen... They wouldn't even know because they both got pregnant the first month they started trying lol! I am going to work on being more positive this month I wish you the best while on your ttc journey!
-
@Ashleyf21: I'm so sorry, hun. It's especially hard once you've had a loss. Many hugs and best wishes for November.

@Ashleyf21:

@Anutka: it's cool. My husband symptom spots with me. Today, it was my sense of smell.
-
@Mrs. J: haha. Whenever I'm tired at night DH goes "hmm I wonder why that is..." sarcastically.
-
I promised myself I wasn't going to POAS this early (11 dpo),, but random cramps and spotting got the best of me. I'm still in a bit of shock...
-
@Chaosmaven: woohoo!
-
@Chaosmaven: Yay! Congratulations!
-
@Chaosmaven: help feed my crazy here...what dpo did you have spotting and cramping?
-
@Chaosmaven.. That's awesome! Congrats!
-
Thank you all! We are cautiously excited... It's still early and the cramps and spotting I've had were worse than I remember from last time. So I'm nervous that this might only be chemical... But I just have to wait and see!
@Anutka: I had some light brown spotting starting 8 dpo, slightly more reddish brown at 9 dpo, then a steep temp drop, lots of period like cramps and heavier spotting at 10 dpo. I honestly thought I was out, my temp dropped a whole degree, and it felt like AF. But it was way too early for my normal LP, so I was confused. I had just accepted last night that AF was on its way... But this morning my temp jumped back up 1.5 degrees, higher than ever before. I've still been spotting and cramping though, so I'm not sure what is going on. But I got the BFP this afternoon, and I'm going to celebrate for now!
Not sure if any of that helps. Last time, I had one day of mild spotting and a twinge of cramp like pain around 8 dpo. Does anyone know if it's common for implantation cramps and spotting to be heavier and more painful with 2+ pregnancies?

@Chaosmaven: Congrats!

I'm back! Magical week at Disney and universal and ready to get back in the TTC game. Today is cd12 and opks and bd are back to a regular schedule. Dh is excited for this month, so that makes me happy!
Thank you for the continued support from all you ladies about the cp. I truly don't know what I would do without you!
Congrats to the 2 new bfps this week! October is turning out to be such a strong month!
-
@Mrs. Microscope: good luck!!! Maybe this will be a good month for you after all!!
-
@Chaosmaven: Congrats!!
-
@Chaosmaven:
to you in your pregnancy.
@Mrs. Microscope: glad you're back!I'm 9dpo and have a low grade fever. Feel cruddy. Guess I'm getting yet another daycare cold. Hadn't even finished the first!

Okay peeps, I have a mega squinter at 10DPO (I think).. not FMU because I was up north on Saturday and could only test this afternoon when we got back. Im tempted to get a FRER but don't want to be discouraged.. I should probably just wait.. right?
Talk me off the ledge!
-
@Reese: Ah! You should not wait! You should hold your pee and take a Frer!
-
@travellingbee: Enabler! Dumb question, does the FRER need FMU? would it be more accurate? this squinter is killing me. I showed DH and he said he could see it and might go out and buy a FRER. He also things we should just wait a few days.. I know he doesn't want to be disappointed either.
-
@Reese: what kind did you use? Fmu is the most concentrated but if you already got a squinter without fmu you should be good with a hold.
-
@travellingbee: A dollar store cheapie.
-
@Reese: yeah I bet it's not as sensitive as a FRER. Hold your pee for a few hours!
-
@Reese: if you got a squinter with a dollar store cheapie, you're definitely OK with a frer! Just don't drink anything else and hold your pee for 4 hours... good luck!!
-
@Reese: do it!!!!
-
ETA: I think I'm going to wait until the morning to do a FRER
-
@Reese: Fingers crossed! I have used the dollar store cheapie many times...do you have a pic?
-
@Reese: Popping in to say
good luck! Eeek!
-
@Chaosmaven: congratulations!
@Reese: good luck!!!
@jaguar: everything crossed for you!
-
@Reese: Usually if you can see it on a cheapie, you'll DEFINITELY see it on a FR.
-
@Synchronicity: Thanks, girl!
@jaguar: Oh gosh you are making it so much harder to wait!
-
@Reese: not to add fuel to the fire but I tested at 6:15pm at night after an hour hold. Line came right up in 10 seconds using a frer
on to cycle 6.. I never thought it would take us so long to get pregnant. I'm really trying to stay positive but it has become so hard. One day we will be able to start our family 
Fx to those still in for this month, and sending luck to those moving onto next month! 
good luck! Eeek!
