Time to begin TTC 2018!

Think I am out TMI I just had a murky brown bloody spot when wiped so I guess AF is on her way and also have cramps on my left side. Really upset as thought that this was my cycle for a BFP. I will try to remain positive and hoping it was late implantation bleeding but it's so difficult.

@ Ayesha, holding thumbs that it is ovulation pains and you will be ovulating soon, maybe continue testing. TTC does take a lot out of us and the stress is terrible. I still have a few OPK's left over and if I don't get my BFP this cycle I will just be using those but not going to temp or chart. Hoping we get our BFP soon!

@ Nicola, yes it's boiling today! I think I stress more when I use the OPK's and get slightly obsessed. Thanks for the good luck.

I have cramps on my left hand side and think it's the start of AF. I have 2x HPT's in my cupboard and gritting my teeth as Saturday seems years away and want to test now.

Ayesha that is exactly how I felt last month, i realised that the rest of my life was suffering in the process of ttc. I just can't do it anymore, the opk's put so much extra pressure on us too, waiting for that smiley. Honestly I felt such a HUGE weight lifted when we decided to stop them. I know i'll have to start again next year at some point but feels good not to have to now. I pray you get your miracle soon xxxx

@Jaybee GOOD LUCK! I really hope you get a BFP this weekend! Please let us know ok. Fngers crossed xxxx

SOOOOO hot in CPT today, supposed to reach 36c tomorrow too. Hope we get some rain soon

@jaybee I'm testing twice a day, last night got another negative opk but serious cramping in my ovaries, felt like ovulation pains.

We just gonna give it our best and hope for the best, it's taking it's toll on me emotionally and I don't know how much more I can handle. I feel like we putting so much time and effort but we can't force it when we want it. God is the best planner after all.

So I'm thinking of carrying on with my meds and just ditching the opks for a couple of months. I need to remember that we also matter, I put everything on trying to conceive and forget that other aspects of my life need more attention nd I can't carry on this way.

@ Ayesha, how many times per day do you test? Last month I had a 3.5 day surge and this cycle only 1.5 days. What cycle day are you on? Good luck with the learners and know that you will nail it.

@ Carien, thanks and a Merry Christmas to you too.

@ NicolaF, sorry about AF, I was on Fertomid then stopped and took a month's break as was seeing the FS and bam fell pregnant that month. FX for you this cycle.

AFM, 10DPO today and AF is due tomorrow or latest Friday and hubby wants me to test on Saturday. No symptoms yesterday or today so it's a 50/50 if I will get a BFP. Had tender bb's for a few days leading up to "AF" with my first one and don't have those symptoms at all...

Hi Ladies

@Ayesha YAY good for you girl!!! Good luck and let us know ok!! Sorry about the opk but hopefully things will regulate for you again. Fingers crossed. HOpe all is going well in Jozi xxxx

How are you all doing??

AFM...CD1. AF arrived a bit early...today would be CD29 she usually comes on CD32. And its heavy and sore Even though we tried to forget about it this day is always so flippin hard I guess looking on the brighter side it means I can enjoy some festive drinks this December haha!! Got next app with FS on the 20th so will discuss options for next year but for now I don't want to take any more Fertomid I just want to do things normally. Am going to look at seeing a homeopath too in the new year.

Anyway ladies thinking of you all, thank you for always being here. Couldn't do it without you

Hi Ladies, I wanted to say a very big thank you to each and every one of you before I tapped out of the TTC forum. Your unwavering support is really what gets one though one negative to pick yourself up and try again. Good luck to every lady here, I know your little humans are just waiting for you to become their mommies. Send me a PM if anybody ever wants to.

Much love, Merry Christmas and a blessed wish for the most amazing new year for everyone here
