26F TTC since 2 years
I am currently reading a book in which the lead struggles with infertility and is unable to conceive despite 5 rounds of IVF, and they eventually get separated cuz the guy ends up liking another woman and has a baby with her. Omg this is bumming me out sooo much! It’s not like I think I will end up like that, my hubby loves me but I cannot help but wonder about the infertility part. Someone please knock some sense into me :((

P.s we’re also going through a rough patch, cuz my MIL got diagnosed with lymphoma recently and me with disc bulges in L4, L5 (spinal cord). So maybe that’s why I keep getting bummed out

Hi everyone. I’m feeling a little discouraged and could use some advice or just someone who understands.
My husband and I started trying for baby number two this month. My cycles are usually 27–28 days, and over the last three months of tracking, my LH peak has typically been around CD 12–13. This cycle, it didn’t happen until CD 15, which threw me off. My period is predicted to start today, and every pregnancy test has been very clearly negative.
I’m bloated and cramping, and it feels like my period is going to start any minute. I don’t even know why I keep testing, hoping something will change, but seeing another negative still hurts every time.
We were extremely fortunate to conceive our first baby after one cycle, and I think that experience set my hopes pretty high. I’m 37 now and was 35 when we conceived our first, so I’m trying not to get in my head and worry that I’ve somehow missed my window.
A CT scan in July incidentally showed a corpus luteum, so I have some reassurance that I’ve ovulated previously. I’ve also been under a lot of stress studying for my boards, and I wonder whether that played a role in this cycle being different. I didn’t track my temperature, but I’m planning to next month.
I know one month of trying doesn’t mean something is wrong, but knowing that hasn’t stopped me from feeling disappointed and spiraling. My husband is trying to be supportive, but I think I just need to hear from others who understand the hope, uncertainty, and letdown.

Hi,

I am 12dpo and I am spotting since yesterday. It is everytime more and more intense though, went from light pink to brown. Suprisingly I did a pdg test and it's still positive. Does that matter that pdg is still testing positive? Shouldn't it be negative already if I am already getting my period?

I was actually somewhat hopeful based on my temps, but this morning woke up to this temp plummet.

Granted, I got horrible sleep last night as I was up with my sick dog the majority of the night.

But, I started getting light cramping last night too.

I was hopeful this month after an HSG, but guess will just wait for AF and start tracking to try for cycle 7…I’m so sick of this process tbh.

So the first time I got pregnant I wasn’t tracking I quit my birth control the beginning of that month and had a positive test. But never had any discharge to prove ovulation. Same time this around, I quit my birth control, two weeks later I got a positive ovulation test, slight cramping but no discharge (says supposed to be egg white consistency). Just wondering has anyone else experienced this🥲

I'm 12 DPO and honestly, I'm so fed up with the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive.

We've recently been through IVF, and our only embryo that made it to biopsy and freezing wasn't suitable for transfer after genetic testing. It was heartbreaking, and I'm still processing it all while trying to conceive naturally.

This cycle, I've been analysing everything. My Ultrahuman Ring, temperature, resting heart rate, discharge, appetite and every little symptom. Now I'm experiencing light dark-brown spotting, with a tiny bit of pink when wiping. My period isn't due for another couple of days, and I have no idea what to think.

My mood has changed drastically. I'm angry, emotional, confused and exhausted. One minute I have hope, and the next I'm preparing myself for disappointment. I'm sick of spending two weeks hoping and the next two weeks feeling dread, sadness and frustration.

I spend so much time reading everyone's posts looking for hope, reassurance and wisdom. I know symptoms can't tell me whether I'm pregnant, but when you're desperate for an answer, it's hard not to analyse everything.

I just needed to get this off my chest. How do you cope with the two-week wait, the spotting, the symptom spotting and the constant emotional ups and downs?

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who understands. ❤️

Hi friends, my period should have started today, and I’m having pregnancy symptoms. However, my tests are negative. To protect my heart, should I count myself out this month? FRER, Easy@home and Wondfo are all negative.

Hello,

Today I am 12dpo and I did a pdg test and came out positive. Couple of days ago I did another one that the line was a bit darker compared to today.... Is it normal that it is still positive?

I have a good day 7 and day 8 post ovulation progesterone (12 ng/ml) but it crashes hard day 10 DPO (3-4 ng/ml). But my period doesn't come on until 2 days later. But is that a 10 day luteal phase or 12 day luteal phase?

Should I be getting progesterone suppositories?
