My boobs were sooo sore this past cycle- I was convinced it meant a BFP but AF came along :( we’ve been trying a similar amount of time to you for our second-first one came about quite easily for us too. I feel so under pressure that I want to give my LG a sibling which I don’t think is helping but my heart aches for it!
sending you lots of positivity for your next cycle❤

Yes my boobs were sore too! Literally I couldn’t wear a bra!
 
I'm currently 9dpo and usually by pdg (progesterone) tests are negative after 7dpo but they're still high and my boobs are tender to touch, also my skin is clearer usually I breakout loads, I'm not sure if that's due to progesterone still being high and maybe finally I won't have a short luteal phase. Usually it's 10-12 days not 14 days. I also kept having sharp pains in my groin/stomach yesterday, like a tight pulling, I've been trying for 18 months and I honestly do not want to get my hopes up and it's probably all in my head lol but I need to vent here with you guys. I don't want to tell my husband and get his hopes up or worse, him telling me not to over analyse :rolleyes:
 
CD30 today for me. No AF yet but I’m having some cramping. My cycles used to be exactly 29 days but last month was 31 days after taking Clomid for the first time so I’m guessing this month will be the same.

Once she arrives we’re going to book our face to face consultation at the private clinic we have chosen (the last one was via Zoom and was more general) to try and get the ball rolling on IVF so wish she’d hurry up!
 
I've been scrolling through this thread nodding. I'm sorry so many people are having a long TTC journey.

I'm 7 DPO and trying not to drive myself mad by looking at signs of implantation online. I miscarried a few months ago (very traumatic experience and I'm still shocked at how unprepared I was and how little people seem to talk about it) and my periods have been all over the place ever since so I'm also waiting for some blood tests to check I'm ovulating. I feel like there was so much emphasis on how NOT to get pregnant when it came to sex ed and it's now a shock how difficult it can actually be and how many challenges there are, how long it can take etc.

I hope this is your cycle!!! 🤞

With 10/12 it is still possible to get preggy, the cycle I managed to reach a 10 day luteal I ended up having a CP (not ideal I know). Have you tried vitex? That worked for me to build it up to 10 from my average 7 day luteal? I only stopped taking it as I’m on now a ttc break since the CP for various reasons.

My acupuncturist who specialises in fertility put me on it, I think it’s also sometimes called monks pepper. Just make sure you research how much to take, I’m not sure of the recommended amount, I just take what she gives me. It took until cycle number 3 for me to see an effect. I take it in drop form, diluted in water.
There’s also a number of medications you can take to help extend your luteal.
My acupuncturist says it’s fixable, you just need to find what works for each person.

ps. Just aheads up, sometimes it can extend your cycles to accommodate the longer luteal phase but in my situation, thankfully it didn’t do that.

I think I read somewhere before that it can take 10 days post ovulation for the pregnancy levels to start rising. I'd love to know of anyone who got a BFP earlier than that.
 
Super random. My period was due 4 days ago, I don’t have any symptoms apart from being tired and lots of cm. I don’t have any tests left apart from my ovulation test. I peed on it this morning as I hear sometimes ovulation tests predict pregnancy test. It’s both dark lines! Is it true? No idea

I think that can be true!
I’d be on my way to big Tesco to get a test if I was you 🤣
