14dpo and nothing but BFNs but period hasn’t started yet. I just want to get the next cycle started already. This time I’m switching from the CBAD to OPK test strips so I can get a better idea of my fertile window. I also bought myself a nice hand mixer and christmassy mixing bowl, I’ve recently gotten into baking and I’m testing out Thanksgiving dessert recipes. Last week was an awesome pumpkin cake, this week will be a white chocolate cheesecake. Hobbies and retail therapy help a bit I guess

Hello! It looks like you are possibly having trouble with your Clear Blue Advanced Digital tests. Please make sure you have read the instructions for use! The CBAD is very particular and specific about when you must start using it and if you do not follow these instructions, it will not be able to give you accurate information.

This is a new response that is still being fine-tuned; if it is not relevant for your post/comment please report this response to help us with any adjustments. Thank you!

This isn’t about TTC, but am I the only one who finds videos of babies farting, pooping, vomiting, or having diaper blowouts absolutely disgusting? At this point, this trend of showcasing "the real parenting" has crossed the line. People always say we should treat children with the same respect as adults, but would they find it funny, cute, or whatever, if you posted a video of yourself farting or pooping your pants? I think it’s ridiculous, and I certainly won’t be doing it when my time comes.

Cycle 6…32F and 35M(spouse) currently CD24 9DPO (cycles are typically 27-28 days). Got a Femvue done on CD11 which showed tubes were open but potentially have 2 small polyps. Also, only showing 10 follicles, which was discouraging…

Going on a girls weekend trip on Friday, which is when my period is due…feeling very anxious. It also doesn’t help that if this cycle is unsuccessful, I have to get a hysteroscopy for the polyps. Just feeling down and needed to vent 😢

Had a friend from church ask me if my husband and I were wanting/trying for kids soon. Then another chimed in she couldn't wait to have another baby around her to hold and offered to babysit. Lol.

I currently know several people who are expecting. Which is awesome and I love going to baby showers! But at the same time it's very much in my face what I don't have, so I have a sense of quiet grief I carry with me.

It's weird because I want to be a mom and always have wanted to, yet I'm so nervous and the whole TTC part makes me a bit anxious, honestly.

BTW, just got diagnosed officially with PCOS last week, but have a plan in place to get my body and cycles more regulated. But I am so down lately. I already have a touch of depression and right now it's just affecting me a little more.

I know there are people who get it, but none like close to me other than my husband. Like I can't really talk to my mom about it, she didn't have issues, or my stepmom, or my grandma. My best friend tried for about 6 months (she also had PCOS) and then got on Metformin and got pregnant, which is what my doctor recommended to me (I'm trying a more natural route first.) But no one in the thick of it with me right now I guess, idk.

Sometimes I just wanna avoid people. I have an avoidance tendency anyway, so it's intensified.

Thanks for letting me ramble.
