TTC #2 (August bfps)

Yep Karpuz 3/4 days late now (I'm losing count :( ). I've skipped a period before but I was super stressed at the time. I haven't been particularly stressed this month, it's so weird.

Thanks Mynameis, I want to enjoy all this TTC business but it's so impatient and difficult! I want it to be as easy as last time where it just happened unexpectedly

I've got BHCG bloods tomorrow to try and figure out what's going on. I'm fairly sure they'll be negative too, but at least it'll rule any pregnancy out.

Hi all, I haven't been on mn in a little while, so just checking in again.
Hope you're all well. Any new bfp? Will be going back over this thread, and the July one (if I can find it) anyway to catch up on everything.

Karpuz the clear blue should work okay on the day of your period. They aren't great for early testing though. Really hope that glimmer of a line was there.

Ovaries I remember one random cycle when TTC last time and af turned up 2 weeks late, then the next month went back to normal, negative tests and everything. Sometimes our bodies are just exceptionally cruel. I hope you get a bfp but if not then I hope at least af turns up soon because I know limbo is a horrible place to be.

Youre AF is late now isn't it ovaries if I remember rightly?! Bloody load of bonkers stuff this! Have you tried a different brand of test? Is it possible to skip a period?! How does that work?!

Still no AF, still no BFP. I had period-type pains and a tiny bit of spotting the day before yesterday, and now nothing. I wonder if I'm skipping my period this month?

BFN again this morning although there was a glimmer of a line but I'm talking hardly there at all, potentially eyes making it up! AF is due tomorrow - I'm never late often early but not late so what are the chances this will be the time I'm late! I'm tempted just go and buy the cheapest tests and see if they show anything because this is just driving me nuts! But then I'm like it won't be FMU so just ride today out and test again tomorrow morning I have one cheapy internet test at home and a CB digital don't know whether to use the digital tomorrow or to save it?!

All this moaning over nothing really I'm sorry for posting nonsense

Impatient, our midwives see you between 8-10 weeks here. I know it's less appointments once you're on subsequent pregnancies but I think the 1st one stays the same.

Think we will nubian - af is also due 30th! Although it has been turning up a day early recently, which is just mean. All the baby dust to you

Tiramisu my Af finished yesterday . Think we will be braving the tww together. Let's hope we get out bfp this august. Af due again 29th or 30th. But for now lots of bd this week as Wednesday is indicated as start of FW. All the best and lots of baby dust xx

My 2015 antenatal group has been equally amazing - didn't join until after DS was born (he was premature and I was slowly losing my mind as I didn't know anyone who had just had a baby). Genuinely saved my mind and helped with so much stuff beyond parenting.

Hoping to join that thread very soon impatient if I get my bfp on the next cycle, my due date will be May 5 (how sad am I that I counted!), so maybe I can sneak onto an April thread.

karpuzkiz here you ring the midwife directly to book the booking in appointment. Much preferred arranging those to my GP ones, as they weren't prebookable - very stressful!

Much positivity to you all for a new week! Have stocked up on vitamins and will be trying out my cheapie opk sticks once AF finishes (hopefully tomorrow)

Will join new thread if ever get my bfp Impatient

impatient what's the deal when you find out your pregnant these days I can't remember! Do we just call up the doctors and wait for an appointment to be booked in with midwife?!

Here's hoping for a positive week for us all! Sunday squishes xx

Same here, we've had regular meet ups of locals and a huge meet up this year. They've saved my sanity and made me a better parent.

Mine too june, we still all chat daily two years later! The female bond is a strong one :)

My 2015 antenatal group has been amazing, would love to join another one if I ever manage to get a bfp again.

Nubian, I strangely find af arriving a lot less upsetting than seeing negative tests. I quite like the Schrödinger's cat feel to it 😂

I can't keep up with the other threads would love to carry this group on to antenatal if I ever get there haha!

Hope your late Af is a good sign Ovaries

My period is 2 days late, still no sign of AF, still no sign of a BFP :( so frustrating!

Sorry Karpuz maybe it's implantation bleeding though? Test again in a couple of days, fingers crossed for you!

Karpuz could it be an implantation bleed? With DC1 I had light brown bleeding for two full days with thos pregnancy I had literally one spot of blood 5 days before af another 2 days before and another on the day i was due. It's not over until AF arrives

Sorry for the Bfn Mother. I think we all know too well how seeing that bfn feels. You still have a couple of days left so I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Karpuzkiz could that be a positive sign? To be honest I have given up on looking at symptoms because mu body has tricked me sooo many times. I'm still hoping for your Bfps to arrive this month ladies.

June you ate strong. I always succumb to testing multiple times from dpo 9! So admire your will power.

Sending lots of baby dust to you all xx

Sorry for the BFN Karpuz, our bodies can be so cruel 😔 No advice just a hug from me.

I'm 11dpo but daren't test. I've just decided to wait until af turns up as I'm sure she will. My cycles have been around 22 days the last couple so I'm expecting it any time. At the minute I'd just be happy to have a longer cycle so the egg has a chance of implanting.

Thanks all. squashy we are in process of moving house and I am due to qualify in my profession this week but still focused on the baby stuff! Just don't understand why it takes so long or so quickly when there don't seem many variables!
