TTC cycle 3

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

Fingers crossed for you both!!

I'm away with work during my ovulation time next month so was really hoping Sept would be the one.

Ps I have one more test hidden behind the loo just in case nothing more happens this week.. so sneaky =)

@BLS1983 okay okay, you got me, I'll try one more time tomorrow ! also the other thing niggling at me is I found out about DD1 at 9 weeks and my test line for her was very faint for 9 weeks so I'm wondering if I just have low HCG, I'm stressed 😂 xx

Ps I've been trying for close to a year for second and took me 11 months for 1st. It will happen x

@bump98
If you didn't use fmu I would give yourself a break and if has been a couple of days since last test I would grab the bull by the horns and pee on your last stick first thing tomorrow. I have one left too so I look forward to sharing happy news together. Let us know ;-) x

@SundayShoes I also thought it would happen quickly for me as DD1 was a pill baby and I thought if i can conceive on the pill conceiving off the pill will be a peice of cake, clearly not xx

@pemb to be honest they seemed regular, I came off my pill at the end of june, had a slight withdrawl bleed, had normal 30 day cycles for july, august and then for some reason this cycle has just skipped, maybe my body just regulating but considering i have had two normal cycles it does seem odd but all my tests are neg, don't really know what my next step is, do i wait to ovulate or wait for my period, its driving me crazy!! Also no, TTC baby no 2, my daughter is 15 months and ideally want her to be just under or over 2 when the second child is born so just feel like i'm running out of time for my ideal age gap x 7

@BLS1983 my AF was supposed to start on the 21st of September, so that would make me 10 days late, I did a test the other day and zilch :( every neg tests drags me down a tiny bit more as I really thought this was my month !

@SundayShoes my cycles are normally 30 days and were like that before my first daughter, having two regular cycles I just assumed my body had gone back to normal clearly not with this, I did have light bleeding on the 13th, 14th and 15th of September which was a week after my predicted ovulation date, so I got incredibly hopeful it was implantation as it was really light and light in colour, but as I get more negative tests I lose the bit of hope I had, and I'm like that aha I smuggle my tests in my bra into the loo so he doesn't think I'm mad xx

It's my 3cycle too. I really believed it would happen straightaway which was obviously really naive. Are you normally quite regular? I've seen posts from people on here who have cycles longer than 30days so perhaps it's that? I've always just awful period cramps but so far I've just had a few days of spotting. Head says period but heart is desperately clinging onto the fact it could be implantation bleed. I hate how much ttc makes me overanalyse what my body is doing! I'm trying to not look like a complete psycho so this morning I even resorted to doing a test before DP even woke up..

@bump98
So how many days are you late for af hun? I'm 7 tomorrow with my cycle currently at 41 days and a load of neg tests. Hold on in there I didn't test positive until I was 10 days late with my dd. Hugs x

pemb · 01/10/2018 21:10

Aww hun I'm sorry , your defo not alone in a place like this. Are your cycles regular? I totally missed a period once and couldn't work out why but spent a fortune on tests which were obviously negative. Are you TTC baby number 1? X
