Hi,

I'm a serial lurker in general after taking time off MN - long standing MNers might remember me from a few years back but this is my first post in a while.

Ok...backstory...DH and I started TTC#2 in October 2007 when DD was 18months old... fast forward a little over 11years later... 9 MCs under my belt and 2 years since last actively "trying"... DH and I have had some major relationship upheavals in the last 2 years so TTC wasn't really a reasonable idea... all is back on track in a big way and obviously given the topic we've DTD although without the intent of getting upduffed...

So back to my actual reason to post... I use a period tracker as a habit more than anything and generally my cycles are 29-30 days over the last year or so although previous tracking efforts have been a bit hit and miss... I'm now very rarely late unless for the obvious reason Hmm

So I was due on 4 days ago and don't feel particularly period-y.

I am definitely more tired than usual, achey boobs, and slightly queasy feeling in the back of my throat.

I know I should just bite the bullet and test but I'm a bit scared of the potential BFP and anxiety that it will inevitably be MC number 10...Sad not to mention I haven't got a test yet and won't be able to get one till at least tomorrow night!!

I'm looking for a bit of chat about symptoms, your stories, am I/aren't I etc anyone up for that?

Hi there! I'm always happy for a chat! I'm incredibly sorry to hear about your mc's I can't even imagine how hard that must have been to go through! You're very strong to keep going and I admire that!!

We're trying for our first and have been for around 9 months. We've just been "seeing how it goes" for the first 8 months but this cycle we decided to try dtd every 2 days starting from the end of af. I'd like to be hopeful but 8 months of bfn's I think I will be shocked when we get our BFP!! I do love a poas though 😂😂 the only symptoms I feel like I have been having is the last few days I have been super bloated. I had itchy boobs today and they feel like they are pulling when I wake up. I also had unbelievable sweats during the night a couple of days ago which woke me up a good 4/5 times!! I ovulated between 5-7 days ago so just waiting to test on Saturday. Hopefully this is my month!

Please keep me updated when you test. I am really hoping for a sticky one for you if it's a BFP you deserve it after everything you've been through. ❤️❤️

Hello @nomoremarbles, I’m new to all this and I’ve been feeling sick for two weeks now but not due on until Friday. I’ve been sleeping a lot more, exhausted in the day, had lower back ache and mild stomach cramps (like AF is coming however I only usually get pains on the day of AF). Seem to be really thirsty but also analysing every single change in my body! Very little boob change though! I’ve tested many times already, all BFN. It would be my first, and totally unplanned but i’d be really happy. Hopefully my OH would be too!!

Totally understand your anxiety with testing but I guess if AF isn’t coming then you may aswell know. Wishing you so much luck this time x
