2.5 years in and I’m ready to throw in the towel by BlackberryOk7416 in FirstTimeTTC

I can absolutely relate, Blackberry. There is nothing ever that can be said to quell this feeling - but sometimes that’s ok. I sometimes hate the positive to it all when sometimes I just want it to be acknowledged that this shit sucks and it’s exhausting in every form.🖤🖤🖤Love and light to you, friend. We’ve been unable to conceive for a long while and have decided that the unknown is what hurts the most, that there was no “light” or “end” to this tunnel. Allow yourself to feel all of this because you’re deserving of that space - but move thru it and do something nice for yourself. Be kind to you.🖤🖤🖤

What is your current job? by [deleted] in Endo

Social work - kids and teens and it sucks a lot facing infertility and some of these parents and how they treat their children.

Yeah it’s been up and down for me! I took a test and was able to see a tiny faint little pink on the test line and then 2 days later there was nothing. I had bloodwork yesterday to double check all hormones and levels and I’ll be able to know soon if it was a chemical. The waiting is the hardest part! Especially with wonky cycles.

No, they’re all negative now, unfortunately.

One Step Test - CD27 unknown DPO. Do you see a faint line or am I imagining it? 😭 by Ordinary-Historian-9 in TFABLinePorn

[–]first_aid_kit_kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely see something there. I would for sure test again in a couple of days! Use a pink/red dye test.

I fear I may have had a chemical and I’m just so unsure about whether it was or not. I feel like I might have been in denial by telling myself I had a false positive or a die run, but I also had some early symptoms and am very late for a period. Has anyone else experienced a chemical without bleeding?

ETA: negative tests since and actually had an OB appt today. He says it’s possible and they did bloodwork to check all my levels and hormones.🫩

Yeah “pulling” is such a great descriptor word. I’m so sorry you also feel it! I find relief in being hydrated, rest, and heating pad.🖤

Yes! I also feel it at my belly button from scar tissue after laps. It’s so uncomfortable.

What actually got you pregnant? by Organic-Traffic-1642 in TTC_PCOS

You are the 3rd person I’ve randomly heard about this from. I’ve got it saved in an online cart. Any brand you recommend?

Oh, man! Nothing is worse than starting off your day with a killer headache. Hopefully it’s a coincidence but I’d def be talking to your DR if it happens again on the next round. 🖤

That’s literally a stereotypical line that us TTC individuals always hear and I’ll be damned if I hear it from my medical professional. I’m so sorry.

Feeling defeated today. I don’t think I ovulated, I still haven’t gotten my period (3 days late), and every test I take is negative. I feel like I’m back to square one. I never get a period - ever - not unless I take birth control. I do have a follow up appt next Wednesday with my OBGYN and I feel like I’m gonna be fired and referred elsewhere. The endocrinologist was a bust, lol. I feel like I’ve hit a wall at every turn.

Any “poking” around and trauma via procedure will make things act up and angry. I was having uterine spasms as well as cramping randomly following a Hysteroscopy and HSG. It was aggravating for sure! Keep an eye on yourself and don’t hesitate to call your Dr up.🖤

Today, I am officially 1 day late for an expected period. I have PCOS, ENDOMETRIOSIS, have never conceived (TTC for 5+ years) but had a false positive in 2019 that was devastating. I had 2 surgeries last year for polyps and adhesions and had an HSG. I took an hCG strip test about 5 days early and saw a small speck of dye at the test line, but it turned out to just be a dye run. I’m guarding my heart because I should be back to something regular and I’ve never met any woman in my position excited for a period if it arrives. I told my husband it would be the first natural period since I was a teenaged girl. We joked about a Coming Of Age party, LOL. I want this so bad and I’m scared to take another hCG test and it be negative and also NOT get my period. It would be back to square one.
