Month 11 TTC and two CPs, looking for encouragement!

kaeineurope · March 2019

Hello all, first time posting here. Just a little about us: Been TTC baby #1 for 10 full cycles, justing using OPKs which have been pretty reliable for me. My partner and I are both 35. My cycles are super regular - 28-32 days with O always happening between days 12-16. Had a CP on cycle 2, 5 days of tests that never got darker, spotting then my cycle. Took us another 7 cycles to get a BFP again, this time I stopped testing a day or two after I got the positive because it was super stressed out it, and a week later, same story - AF reared her ugly head. At this point I went to my gyno who was NOT reassuring at all and said that CPs are not THAT common. Thank goodness I had done a lot of my own reading up on this and knew that they were in fact pretty darn common and not to be too concerned. She ordered up a bunch of genetic testing, they found nothing. I asked her for progesterone because I usually spot for up to 5 days before AF shows so I was concerned about a luteal phase defect. So been using the progesterone for a few cycles now, I usually wait a good 4 days to start it after my positive OPK so as not to block ovulation. I have also self-prescribed baby aspirin which I start taking a few days before AF is expected, just in case.

We are now on cycle 11, and I am 4 DPO. All of my other positives came on 11 DPO so going to test next week. I've been a bit anxious because this is taking so long, I am never missing my fertile window (we BD practically every day - no chances lol) -- but I was wondering if there was anyone out there with multiple CPs that could send some happy success stories my way while in the two week wait? Or someone in a similar situation so we can commiserate :-):smile:

Sorry to hear about your experience but we don’t do one off posts here. Please feel free to intro yourself in the latest newbie thread. We have a thread for those TTCAL (trying to conceive after a loss) with some great ladies in there.

Also, please edit your post to remove the term

baby dust. We don’t use that here out of respect to those who have suffered a loss.

Sorry for your losses.

If you’re looking for success stories, this is not the right place. We are all TRYING to get pregnant here, many for the first time. Boards such as “Pregnant After Loss” or “First Tri” would be more appropriate.

This is probably not the best place flr
encouragement. Not that these ladies aren’t great, but none of us are pregnancy and not all of us are going to have a happy ending. I am myself redoing into month 27, with a mmc/molar pregnancy, 1 for sure CP and 1 suspected. With a 2nd trimester loss to hydrops years ago. We have a wonderful supportive weekly thread for ttcal that you are more than welcome to start participating in. Please lurk and introduce yourself.
