TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

Sorry about af being on the way @FlapJackered @Delilah7 xx

@stormtrooperjulian agreed, not knowing is definitely the worst part about TTC!! X

@KatBeCool I'm not going to test at all now, just wait for af x

@Delilah7 @FlapJackered @sunshine1987 thankyou ladies x

So a nurse called me back and said a doctor looked at my symptoms and advised me to go to A&E. Didn't get home until 5 (and I'm up now for a bloody meeting 😩) but they did a pee test and a blood test and nope I'm not pg. The doctor said the pain I'm having could 'just' be ovary pain? Sent me home with no advice really so waste of time. I suppose if bloods have confirmed BFN there's not much I can do...

DH is still convinced I'm pg and I don't know what to do - I remember someone (sorry I can't remember who it was) mentioned LP stays the same; if I ov'd on the 9th then AF should 100% be here by now?

Sorry ladies I'm just bloody knackered with all of this honestly 😩

@delilah7 @flapjackered Only upside is that we’re all in this together. Onto cycle 5 now for me too x

@Delilah7 it’s the not knowing that I hate. If someone could tell me ‘you will get pregnant in month 10’ or whatever then that would be fine, but not knowing if it will take 6 months or 3 years or never happen at all is frustrating for me.

@Delilah7 I'm with you, I just went past 6 months. Not a fun feeling but when you hear the stats that 85% get pregnant within a year of trying it gives me hope that we will all get our bfp soon. We just have to try and stay positive.

Thanks @sunshine1987 @KatBeCool just a waiting game today! I just want to get on with the next cycle now.
@KatBeCool What cd are you on now?
@Delilah7 sorry about the clearblue lovely - it's not our month - 🤞🏻next month will be our lucky one.

Hope you’re ok this morning @cupcakesandglitter xx

Sorry to hear AF is on her way @flapjackered, the only upside I guess is the limbo part. This month I sort of found it easier when I came on even though temp didn’t tell me as it stopped me getting anymore negatives and stressing about why I was if AF wasn’t here yet.

@delilah7 sorry babe you didn’t get the answer you wanted x

Morning all, how is everyone today? I’m 5dpo and so far I’m mostly managing not to do any pointless symptom spotting.

@FlapJackered sorry for AF 🙁 I guess I'm slightly ahead this cycle so we probably won't be DPO twins. But we can still hold hands for support. My apps are all confused about my ovulation day, good thing I got the tests or I'd miss it for sure.

My temp has dropped today so AF is finally on her way, actually do feel quite relieved as I am not sure I could have taken another day of no AF and bfns.
Breathe and onto the next cycle!

@cupcakesandglitter - oh hun, what did 111 say? I would book an appointment today with the docs if it is worrying you this much. As CrossFit said - at least then they will be able to tell you what's normal and also take a blood test to double check. ❤️ Xx

@cupcakesandglitter just to give you some peace, the symptoms you're having aren't the symptoms of something horrible. I understand your anxiety, it's hard not to be, but don't immediately think that something is wrong. Everything will be fine. I'd stop testing for now, it only brings you more anxiety, wait until you see a Dr.

@Crossfitgirl DH looked up my symptoms with the NHS symptom checker thing and it's advised me to call 111 - going to call them now.. yeah either Monday/Friday, won't get a chance for another week x

@cupcakesandglitter do what you need to do to stop worrying. If reassurance from the docs is what you need then go, the last thing you need is to feel like this for longer than you have to. They may not be able to tell you anything different until they have done tests etc but at least they can rule out anything else and discuss what's normal etc and when you should / shoudlnt be concerned?
Will you have to wait another week if you don't go tomorrow or Monday?

@Crossfitgirl I didn't take it that way don't worry, I get what you're saying. That's why I'm so wth about what's going on because all the signs point to me being pg too 😩 x

Oh no I hope that wasn't taken the wrong way, I didn't mean to be concerned / panic, I just meant I would just be too impatient and wanting to find out! @katbecool is right though, if you are pregnant then you still will be in another week. I am keeping everything crossed for You! (And for the other two of you still in limbo!)

@Crossfitgirl @KatBeCool that's how I feel :( I can't stop crying today. I don't want to convince myself I'm pg and then I end up just having irregular cycles but I feel like I could be and it's really hard. Kat how long do you think I should wait? I suffer with anxiety anyway so this is pushing me through the roof, I can't deal with not knowing what's going on and the thought of my cycles messing up again is making me so upset. I've waited so long to be able to FINALLY be in the position to even start trying and now it's like my body is playing tricks on me

@cupcakesandglitter oh hun, don't apologize and don't worry, just because you didn't test doesn't mean anything has changed in your body. If you're pregnant, then you're pregnant, test or not. Usually you wait to be late at least two weeks before you schedule a dr appointment or even begin to worry. Don't panic. Everything is OK, you shouldn't have any concerns this early. Fingers crossed for you!

@cupcakesandglitter omg. That is loads of signs. I'd be going to the docs literally first thing in the morning for a blood test!
Surely you must be. Surely?!!!

@Crossfitgirl and no other stress 😩 I've really tried to take it easy this month and not think about it too much. I was doing fine until AF didn't turn up 😩 my average cycle is 29 days according to Flo which would make me 6 days late. I've also worn a pad for the last six days as I could've sworn AF was here. Even told DH I was out - but never turned up
