Hi ladies - had to post as I need to talk to someone and think I'm going crazy. I have 35 day cycles so bit annoying when TTC! Only ten chances a yr etc. last night I was due to peak but couldn't test on my CBFM as was out at the 'window'. We are really busy household at the moment but DH knew it was the magic time. He decided he was too tired and didn't want too. I then stewed on it and flipped out, I didn't want TTC coming to this and feel bad and upset. I just frustrated that the windows of opportunity are actually quite small and it took us 5 years to conceive our DS. My DH is 41 and I'm 37 with birthday later this year so I feel the pressure of age too.

Please tell me I'm not the only one too lay it on the table to DH how important it is to me? I feel I'm turning in to a TTC nightmare! Feeling fed up and teary now.

Af visited me yesterday so im out this month. TTC #1. cant believe how hard it has been ...

DisneyDiva87 · 11/07/2013 08:53

I've told a couple of people (another friend who is TTC too) but my bestie will hate me (in a nice way) when I get pregnant, she's in Southampton and I'm in Aberdeen, so I'm keeping the news until I have my BFP. But like I say, she'll already know from little things I've said to her and like how I'm avoiding setting a date for going to Disneyland Paris with her cause I don't want to go if I'm pregnant.

lindamagoo · 11/07/2013 08:50

Yep Dosney I think my body is just making sure I have an eventful last month on the buses Smile

FoxMulder · 11/07/2013 08:45

Oh Linda, I feel for you! Symptoms AND a late period, but BFNs!! Argh!

Disney I've told my 2 best friends, I'm useless at keeping things to myself. And my parents know. And, worst of all, my boss! Well I haven't told him in so many words but I told him about the mc to explain my days off work last month, so he probably has a good idea.

DisneyDiva87 · 11/07/2013 08:35

I think I just accidentally gave away that I am TTC to one of my friends, mentioned my period and then mentioned that on the last pill I was on I never get periods... I made up a fluffy excuse about forgetting to take it a couple of days and that brings on a bleed. She'll see right through me, her next text was about baby stuff in Disney so she knows D'oh! Thankfully it was my bestie so I don't mind too much.

Fingers crossed Londa of all months for AF to be late! She better not be teasing you. And fingers crossed for you guys too Fox and Pixie. It ain't over till the red lady bleeds.

lindamagoo · 11/07/2013 08:34

Welcome back Science, hope this is your month Smile

Fox you might get your bfp yet, the waiting around part is a killer though. It's driving me mad being late and still getting bfn's Hmm

lindamagoo · 11/07/2013 08:31

cd 31 for me and still no sign of af, don't know what's going on as opk's showed I did ov so shouldn't really be late. Still feel sick but my boobs aren't as sore as they were

ScienceGeekGirl · 11/07/2013 08:30

Hello again ladies. I've taken a couple of weeks off mn as I was feeling bit sad after an extra long 40 day cycle and thought if I had another one of there I'd miss a whole month bus. But I've been using a fertility monitor this month and I got a peak on day 14!!! Yay nb only got positive last month at day 28 so this is amazing and so happy so I thought I'd risk coming on to this bus. Taking a conservative estimate:
ScienceGeekGirl ttc#1 cycle 5, BFP 27/07/13

FoxMulder · 11/07/2013 08:19

Another BFN from me this morning Sad. 12DPO but AF not due till Monday, so maybe still too early...

I'm getting these crampy pains just like I did last time I was preg, but DH thinks this isn't our month. He also said that last time though.

There hasn't been a BFP around here for days! Come on somebody!

LeeHandy · 11/07/2013 07:33

congrats jellybean. I hope af's visit doesn't have too much vengeance in it!

JellyBeanDavey · 11/07/2013 07:25

writerwannabe it is very possible lol and even longer probably if it wasn't for taking the pill for a couple of days to give AF a kicking and wake her up. I mean I'm still in this cycle at the moment (CD102) as I'm only spotting and you only count a new cycle from when you see red. But it is obvious that she's on her way as I'm feeling that ache. She's not going to be happy! Confused

Pixie001 · 10/07/2013 22:59

Oh poo. Having stared at stick for 5 mins line still didn't magically appear. Sad
Guess af will prob turn up tomorrow altho obviously I'm secretly hoping I'm still in with a chance coz I didnt use fmu Hmm

seatfor5 · 10/07/2013 22:26

Oh yes please my Cm is now clean and no blood very odd! Hmm I do think its my body having a joke! although I am so smelling things I wouldn't normally Sainsburys this afternoon turn my stomach

lovelygreen · 10/07/2013 21:57

I'm calling it pregnancy limbo seatfor5! Care to share some crumpets? x

seatfor5 · 10/07/2013 21:52

Oh lovely i feel your pain! chin up x

armywag21 · 10/07/2013 21:47

skylerrose how long have you been officially trying then if they won't count the past 2 years? Do you get any pains?

lovelygreen · 10/07/2013 21:43

I leave for a few days and theres a whole new thread!?

Congratulations all those with BFPs! Flowers

I'm still sick and nauseous all day every day, travel sickness bands have helped a bit. AF was due on Sunday, no sign so far, tested yesterday and today and BFN Sad. Not sure what's going on. Shall wait a week and see if AF or BFP arrive... The 2 week wait continues...

SkylerRose · 10/07/2013 21:29

You are not alone armywag21. I'm in same boat but and I've know I've had pocs(?) since I was 18 but they won't help me until we have been officially ttc for 6-12 months even tho we haven't been doing anything to prevent pregnancy for past 2 years..... Hmm

lindamagoo · 10/07/2013 21:02

Think I'll test again on Friday, going to a BBQ on Saturday and don't want to drink if af hasn't arrived without testing again

seatfor5 · 10/07/2013 20:43

Just had a read back though my posts when TTC DS2 and DS3 and I also had red blood when I wiped before i found out I was PG with DS2! So I am clinging to hope lol as the blood seems to have now gone and I usually come on straight away (Oh who am I kidding :) )

gillywillywoo · 10/07/2013 20:25

So many ladies due to be testing! Come on peeps! Show me some BFPs! Grin

linda the first thing I said was about fertility treatment lol
pixie yeah I expected something as my periods are very irregular, I've looked it up online and it's not all doom and gloom. I was a bit shocked though cuz I don't want the stress of struggling to conceive. The pains I've been getting are prob cysts bursting.. Pcos messes up the development of the eggs. Next steps are to see gp next week with the full report and then action plan of hormone/fertility treatment. Never thought I'd need help at 22.
