wifey6 · 26/07/2012 18:18

Had a MMC end of April this year :(
Bled for 2 weeks & AF arrived bang on time..horrendous but told to expect that. So last month AF was late & I tested like mad - BFN. AF shows her ugly self on CD34 WTAF!!
Decided to ttc this month & OVed at right time & now AF is late again..HPT are all BFN & I'm finding this awful!! Getting a bit worried & more upset as its just a reminder that although I thought it was...my body is not back to normal yet. :(
Has anyone else had this happen?? What do I do??
Thank you if you have read this far.

wifey My DH is also always a help. He can try to take my mind off things but that's only because he can take HIS mind off it because he doesn't feel every twinge or tweak. It's not a bad thing - at least, one person in the relationship can think clearly.

I am trying to be practical and remind myself that the odds are I won't get pregnant this month - being so close to since I wasn't well. I need some practical "no symptoms" and I've not even come close to ovulation yet!! Well - should be early next week.

I don't want to get my hopes up this month. I am 100% sure I won't fall pregnant this cycle.

lurcher...I had the same on my 2nd cycle...random spotting & then 2 weeks later AF arrived. Feeling a bit more positive after chatting to DH (strange as that might sound). Was feeling upset & he managed to help which was nice. He always has a different way at looking at things..I guess it's because he doesn't have to go through it himself.

Point to remember is that when ttc, we don't know our own bodies. We don't know what to expect and we suddenly think we notice things we have never
noticed before...

lurcherlover · 27/07/2012 09:22

Exactly the same here...mmc and ERPC in May, normal cycle then now my second cycle is all over the place. I'm late but getting bfn and don't feel pg at all. A bit worried as I had spotting a fortnight ago (hoped it might be implantation, but I guess not!) - now worried that was AF for this month, although it was only a few tiny specks of blood - I never spot normally though. Just want to be pg again so much.

Af arrival, a sign of ovulation or a bloody miracle!!

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 22:23

Why are you waiting kitty?

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 22:22

Yeh I said it before but I got myself to believe that my diabetic ketoacidosis and the rapidly increase blood sugars was pregnancy.

When I started to vomit, far be it for me to think there was actually genuinely something wrong with me, I felt my nipples were burning and was so sure it was pregnancy.

And the funny thing is that ovulation and implantation cramps are actually so very rare in real life. As you say, the mind is a powerful thing. You can believe anything when you really want to.

kittykatsforever · 26/07/2012 22:08

Lol kick
I never had cramps until I started reading mn!!!
I guess we are just so much more aware of our bodies when we want something
I don't envy the situation you've been in, you must be torn but being told not to TTC when it's all you want must be alconsuming!
I guess we are all in the waiting club at the minute to see if we can get back on the horse!
Oh and I'm sure I've felt weird things in my boobs today like itchy maybe, I guess our brains will tell us anything to keep believing

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 21:57

I NEVER used to get sore boobs until we decided to TTC

Tell me what the shit is with that?!

kittykatsforever · 26/07/2012 21:56

What cd are you on now wifey? Do you have a guesstimate as to when you did ov?
Well I never have sore boobs but pretty sure I ov as I have a snoring dd in next bedroom Smile

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 21:49

It's hard and painful...

I don't envy you but I get to be back in the TTC soon and I can't WAIT for the 2ww. The being forced to not TTC has made me realise how much I miss even having the opportunity to try!

I hope so kick...they were so painful last week & have increased again today.

Well it's a sign of increased progesterone so it's a sign of ovulation. After about 12 - 13DPO, the progesterone drops off if you're not pregnant and increases if you are.

So it's a good sign of fertility and ovulation and PMS and could be conception Grin

Oooo ok...well mine have been very sore since last week. Got my hopes up that it was a good sign/symptom of pregnancy like last time Sad Sad

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 21:24

There are a few contributing things to anovulatory cycles. Mine are actually lighter and longer when I haven't ovulated.

20% of women who don't OV don't get sore boobs.

Thank you all Smile. Very possibly the only place we can talk about this sort of stuff without weird looks!! Hmm

wifey

There is not a lot you can personally do but if your cycles continue to stay heavy I would seek further medical advice. Do not assume that you ovulate every month, even normally fertile women do not ovulate every month. Do not keep testing, seeing repeated negatives can be soul destroying.

bodi

Charting and OPKs (particularly those as these measure LH and many PCOSers have an excess of LH to start with so the kit reads that) are of not much benefit at all when it comes to PCOS. You'd be better off having blood tests done to see what your hormone levels are like.

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 20:54

I don't get positive OPKs either

I blame nearly dying though

kittykatsforever · 26/07/2012 20:49

Bodi
I stoped bf 3 months ago so I think all things combined has sent my body in a spin! Your lucky of you do get swolen boobs etc mine never change apart from pregnancy and then very subtlety and feel very " empty" these days Sad
