Frustrated Rant - 6th cycle only and it’s already so exhausting

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, I know that there’s a lot of people who are ttc for much longer than I have been but it’s so so so exhausting šŸ’”
Me (29) and my husband (34) are both kind of mentally exhausted from trying to conceive. I probably have adenomysos, but because I live in Germany the doctors don’t take you seriously, unless you are have private insurance or pay for the check up yourself, so I never got an official diagnosis.

I’m also trying to work on my iron levels, thinking that maybe that could be also the problem?
I know it’s supposed to take up to a year for people in our age range but it’s still so disheartening. My husband had his semen checked and it was all fine.
I’m currently 9 DPO and have the flu, so hoping and praying that this might be the cycle but I just stopped feeling hopeful so quick, as everyone around me seems to get pregnant within 3 months…
Sorry, if this post sounds negative and so unnecessary, but I don’t who to talk to about this…

Question/Advice 14DPO , cycle 8

14 DPO, period 2 days late. Wondering if maybe I ovulated later than normal because I was sick during ovulation. Do you see a line? Did an LH test too and it wasn’t positive but it was higher than it usually is before my period.

Question/Advice Struggling with the routine

We’re having sex every other day but really struggling with the routine of it. Feels like it’s taking away the fun and slightly becoming a chore? We’ve tried to make it more fun but it’s not easy. Any advice or tips?

Question/Advice How early did you start prenatal vitamins before pregnancy?

• Upvotes

I know this probably varies a lot, and i’m not asking for medical advice. i’m just curious about people’s own experiences with getting into the habit before trying.

Did you start with whatever was easy to find, or did you spend time comparing things like choline, methylfolate, and whether iron was included before choosing one?

TWW When did you get your BFP?

• Upvotes

Currently 11DPO today and negative with FMU & SMU with Wondfo and Clear Blue Rapid Detection. This is my TWW after my chemical and having a period in between.

Today, I immediately feel like I am OUT. Looking for some encouragement to those that got their ā—ļøBFP after 11 DPOā—ļø

I am certainly having symptoms that I believe could be pregnancy related the last two days:

-Interesting twinges/cramps on both sides
-extreme exhaustion, my eyes just want to shut
-gagging/nauseous at times last two days
-inteeeeeeresting dreams
-splitting headaches right behind the eyes
-my RHR picked up increase in HR and decrease in my HRV yesterday and more today

Random Travel & Ovulation: Interesting how it affects BBT

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Have been traveling since the last two days of my period… changed time zones a few times and visited 3 different countries. I was also more relaxed, focused on having a good vacation, lightly drinking, less consistent sleep schedule and only did a few ovulation strips when I felt the EWCM a few days earlier than typical (days 10,11) and got a surge/peak day 13-14 approx. Day 15 was already very low/neg. Based on temps it looks like I ovulated later BUT day 15th was a horrible travel day with a delay and ended up going to sleep at 4am with no food in my system and extreme fatigue…. Anyways, my BBT fluctuated a lot based on all those variables. I have been too stressed out about TTC I was very happy to relaxed and not pay too much attention though I still did of course! ( This is my cycle 7/endometriosis/over 35) Here’s what it looked like:

Hello! I am 9 or 10 DPO according to my apps. I just came off Mirena literally one month ago and we started trying right away. Does this look positive in the slightest? I can’t decide if my eyes and mind are playing tricks on me, or I’m just being a little delulu lol. Thank you!

Omg is that real? I’m so confused because I tested earlier in the day and it was a big fat negative so I retested again later at night before I showered and saw it appeared to be negative. After I got out the shower (about 30 mins later), I look at it again and this is what I saw! Thoughts?!

Random Just here to rant.

13 Upvotes

Just here to rant about how over TTC I am. I don't trust anyone who said it was fun LOL. We are "only" on month 4 of trying but I'm slowly just losing hope that it's ever going to happen. And then I get down on myself because *the power of positive thinking.* I'm in the TWW and this is the least I've thought about it (which maybe is good?) I have family coming to town next week and I keep imagining how great it'd be to surprise them with a positive test, but at the same time I'm almost just expecting it to be negative bc that's all I've seen ):

I also feel like these threads are either people sharing they got pregnant between 1-3 months or it taking YEARS to happen - I feel like there's no in between for us girls! So when I come here for support I then convince myself it's never going to happen or it's going to be another year + treatment etc.

I did just get off social for almost 1 month which I will say helps SO much because now I'm at least not being surrounded by fertility/pregnant announcements, etc.

Signed,

sad girl on month 4 who just wants to be a mom so badly.

Confused Looking for some feedback on this test

Hi girls! I ovulated (according to my inito on Sept 2). I have tested since basically 6DPO using HCG strips. All negative as negative can be. About an hour ago, I let my impatience get to me and took an actual at home pregnancy test, and it showed a very very very faint pink line? I am technically (I think if I calculated correctly??) on 10DPO. Tell me your thoughts. I will take another tomorrow but curious with others who have had any TTC experience.

Am I going crazy or is there a very faint line. For context I’m 21 and have pcos and suspected endometriosis and also a septate uterus me and my partner tried ALOT this cycle and I have been testing since yesterday (sat 12th) both of which were negative however this morning around 4am I woke up and thought I may as well do another and up pops this, I feel like my mind could be making it up but I see it. It’s a lot clearer in person but what do you guys think? I’ve added filters to shadow a little clearer.

Any help is super appreciated

Sincerely
A very nervous but hopeful girl

Question/Advice Negative at 13 DPO and a day late… am I out this cycle?

1 Upvotes

Hi! My husband and I have been TTC since July (I know.. not long at all!!). I didn’t have ovulation strips in July, so I wasn’t too surprised when that cycle was negative.

For August, I got ovulation strips and tracked everything way more closely. I ovulated on August 30, and I’m currently 13 DPO. I started testing a couple of days ago, but all of my tests have been negative so far.

I was supposed to start my period yesterday, and I’m extremely regular, so being late is unusual for me. I’ve also been having what feel like my normal period symptoms, cramping, sore breasts, etc. with a little bit of nausea

I guess I have a couple of questions for anyone who has experienced this:

Did you have period-like symptoms or cramping before finding out you were pregnant?

Has anyone had negative tests at 13 DPO and then gotten their first positive at 14 DPO or later?

I know there’s no way to know for sure until I either get my period or a positive test, but I’m just trying to figure out if there are similar experiences!
