TTC cycle 3

bump98 · 01/10/2018 20:23

So from the title you guys can tell I've not been TTC very long, but this is my third cycle, didn't have a period for the whole of September, but all pregnancy tests say neg so I'm guessing I've not ovulated. Getting more and more upset with every neg test. Anyone want to jump on this thread for support ? Feeling like I could do with some right now x

Awww @bump98. That should definitely take your mind off of things. Turns out I haven't come on and decided I'm actually spotting. Never had this before other than first period after finishing breast feeding about a year ago. Hoping it's ovulation bleeding xx

@BLS1983 sorry to hear that, that's exactly what's happened to me, short cycle and ovulated very early. So confusing considering my last cycle was incredibly long. On another note me and my partner have just bought a kitten, she's due to come home to us in two weeks so that's helping keep my mind off ttc ! Cx

Hey @bump98 sorry to hear this. I appear to have come on after an 18 day cycle which would have meant I ovulated at day 5 hence EWCM I had. So strange. Not like a normal period but have cramps too. Confused.com xx

Hi everyone ! Unfortunately I've just started my period again after a very short cycle, well presuming it's my period, it's very light though but quite bad cramps, how is everyone doing x

@BLS1983 I've got everything crossed for you that it is!! Hopefully you can relax until it's time to POAS!

BLS1983 · 18/10/2018 12:27

Well I was remaining calm and not thinking about it and now I appear to have something that resembles implantation bleeding. Never had it before. Has anyone ever had this around 11 days after their period and been pregnant!?

BLS1983 · 15/10/2018 20:33

Hi ladies
Yes definitely a month of not symptom spotting for me and no testing until late. Jealous of a Cyprus tan :-). Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that you are away over ovulation. All this obsessing we have been doing over symptoms etc can't be good for us. I think if I don't fall by January I'll go to the docs. Will be our year anniversary of trying next month xx

SundayShoes · 15/10/2018 20:04

I've been away with work for two weeks with my ovulation time bang in the middle which sucks so no news from me. On the plus side I was so sure that I was pregnant last month that I got myself really worked up so feeling much more chilled this month (helped by the fact I'm working in Cyprus so have been topping up my tan).

Fingers crossed for you ladies!!

@BLS1983 hi lovely ! glad to hear you're well. I've come off my ovia app etc and me and dp are just doing to bd when we feel like it, I hate hate the feeling of being obsessed, I'm going to reduce my pregnancy test taking to when my period is LATE 😂😂😂 and stop symptom spotting because for me everything seems to be a "symptom" of pregnancy which is definitely isn't, also interestingly enough lots of clear and simple tests the one I got my faint positive on have been recalled for giving out false positives !

Stitch not stick lol

BLS1983 · 09/10/2018 17:35

Hi ladies
Hope you are all well.
So after having an epic 42 day cycle with stick pains, cramps and lots of other pregnancy signs I had af which finished Sunday and today appear to have EWCM already and have pee'd 6 times so far today. Feeling like need to go and then it's not much time write home about when I do. I think I symptom spotted and stressed a little too much which delayed my period but now seem to be ovulating at the same time as I would have done. How very odd. Well I have promised myself no testing or symptom spotting this month. I'll start again after next period. Got a bit much last month. Any news from anyone? Xx

@SundayShoes I think maybe we do, the stress of conception and symptom spotting can make you're period late, and awww no, gutted for you :( my cramps have been horrendous this cycle :( xx

*do

SundayShoes · 04/10/2018 08:55

@bump98 so you think it's possible that we trick our bodies into these symptoms? I haven't ever been more than one day here or there either.
AF showed her face this morning which sucks so now I'm sitting in work pretty gutted with horrible cramps!! Is it bad that I can't wait to be pg so I won't have cramps for a few months?!!

@SundayShoes no I'm nearly two weeks late , and normally like clockwork, the test made me think this was it but clearly not meant to be, keep trying and keep us updated !

@BLS1983 yes, I will do, just gutter after that test but ah well, just feels like it will never happen. I'm going to use ovulation sticks too xx

OP posts:
BLS1983 · 03/10/2018 10:19

@bump98
So sorry hun x
I'm ditching the app in replacement of ovulation sticks this month as i clearly don't ovulation when I think I do :-). Good luck for next month xx

SundayShoes · 03/10/2018 08:52

AF still hasn't started but I did a test this morning and it's still coming back as 'not pregnant' which is really frustrating. My periods have always been so regular so I don't get what's going on.

SundayShoes · 03/10/2018 07:06

@bump98 I'm so sorry. Hope you're ok. It wasn't meant to be this month but It will happen. Was this when you were due to start?

@BLS1983 Thankyou so much, you've been so helpful and kind. Just started with light pink spotting again, honestly just want to go to my appointment and find out now, it might make me anxious but will stop me from feeling worse in the long run xx

OP posts:
BLS1983 · 02/10/2018 22:31

@bump98 oh I get anxiety. Best to know then hey. Buy a nice big bar of chocolate maybe and eat it after the doc app whatever the outcome. I sincerely hope it is the outcome you want xx

@BLS1983 I just need to know, leaving it is just going to make me more anxious, plus I need to go and get some more cream for my eczema anyway, so I need to just need to bite the bullet and do it i suppose, just scared xx

BLS1983 · 02/10/2018 21:39

@bump98 if you are that scared hun why not wait a few more days and test again? Xx

@BLS1983 just wish I had more of an optimistic viewpoint ahaha, I'm so scared they'll tell me it's negative, honestly terrified xx

BLS1983 · 02/10/2018 20:39

@bump98 hun you have to keep an open mind. I'm no expert but there are two lines there. Try and find a positive of it not being a positive just in case. It's so hard :-/. Good luck!! Xx
