Really enjoyed being on the Christmas day testing thread even though I was out before the 25th. I thought it would be good to start another thread for peoplw to join me in the TWW since the January buses are such a long period and some people are 14dpo and some like me are counting down the hours to the TWW. I ovulate on Friday 4th or Saturday 5th. Opks are very low at the moment but hoping to catch a surge. Still trying to DTD everyday (we are newlyweds), keep forgetting to take our vitamins and to use preseed but hoping just to get lucky on our second cycle.

Congrats @foreverthe2ww2! What dpo are you? I’m sure it will get darker as the days go on.

Time for me to bow out - got some spotting today with AF 2 days late. Onto next cycle for me and some wine this weekend!

foreverthe2ww2 · 18/01/2019 13:15

@hope31 and @Louise392 any news?

I have had a very faint positive this morning, .. i got very angry last night and ended up deleting my account on here so hence the added "2" on my name now haha .. but i guess the positive explains why, ... it is very faint though so hopefully it keeps getting darker.

@Soexciting glad that you are feeling calm. Like you have said just enjoy next month and DTD and your relaxed mind might leave to good things! Still no AF for my but another BFN on an IC this morning. My longest cycle has been 31 days so if nothing by Monday I will buy some FRER but I have some cramping today so only a matter of time for me I expect!

Soexciting · 18/01/2019 07:40

Good Morning everyone, AF just turned up bang on time since I ovulated a day early. Feeling weirdly zen about it. I had been just convincing myself I was pregnant so am a bit sad that the little bundle of cells I was mentally encouraging didn't exist.
I understand this process take time the only thing I worry about is what if it's not that it didn't work this time but if it doesn't work full stop...
I am so sorry for all the AFs on the thread but still amazing that we had so many BFPs xxx

Good sleep and feel better tomorrow @sal1987 but yeah, it's so so crap. Nearly the weekend, lots of relaxing and getting ready for next month. Sorry to hear about the other AFs too. Fx for next month!!

JingleAllTheQuack · 17/01/2019 22:24

Sorry to those of you who've had AF - wishing you luck for next cycle!

Another BFN on an IC for me this morning - AF due on Saturday. So hard to resist the temptation to use a FRER!

Kins00 · 17/01/2019 22:19

Sorry to hear that @Baba11 x

Baba11 · 17/01/2019 21:54

Af got me too. I knew that when I didn't get my static it wasn't going to work out but still hurts!
Next month will try to stay on top of opks and take it from there
Sending you all baby dust xxxx

sal1987 · 17/01/2019 21:40

So turns out being upset earlier has pretty much now turned into pure anger!! I'm angry at the world for everything, I'm angry at my body for not being able to just connect with one stupid sperm and I'm angry with myself for being so angry!! I know the fog will lift at some point and I will feel so stupid with myself for feeling this way but PMS is an absolute bitch!! I can't even bring myself to tell DP about AF but I'm just snapping at him as just breathing is annoying me tonight 😂😂😂!!!

I'm sorry for my outburst, it does feel a bit better to type it out but now it's time to get myself to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow!!

Sorry to hear that we are starting to get some visits from AF. Cake and Wine then start getting your bodies ready for a BFP next cycle!

I keep thinking AF has arrived but TMI it is just a lot of CM very clear and wet, sometimes like EWCM so no idea what this means! CD27 and usually between 25 and 31 days. I did an IC but BFN but that was on a short hold and quite diluted wee so hopefully I'm not out yet!

This group is great, especially when you don't want to share your TTC journey with friends and family it does feel like a very lonely time!

Keep the faith ladies! Our time is coming! Xx

Iamgoingslightlymad · 17/01/2019 16:56

Well af turned up at work 6 days late :( I wasn't expecting to be pregnant but still feel disappointed and sad. Big hugs for everyone else today.

Does anyone know what that means for my cycle... have been on the mini pill so no periods for some time so have forgotten how it works. Does this mean my cycle has been pushed back by 6 days for the future or will I just have a shorter time between visits from af?

Have made the decision to not try again for number 2 until June. Thank you for all your support ladies x

LillianFullStop · 17/01/2019 15:11

It’s very hard to keep a brave face - lucky for me I am not in the office today so it’s just me and my disappointment at home today! Cake time for me!

I am turning 40 this year so really feeling the pressure to fall PG with #2 before then.

glowingtwigs · 17/01/2019 13:05

I have been to the doctors @sal1987 had day 2 and day 21 tests, DH having semen analysis done this week. My day 21 progesterone was good, showing ovulation but my fsh was dodgy at 9.7, can be an indicator of low egg reserve but might just be because I'm nearly 38... but doesn't feel good.

Cycle 8 next month, but 6th since mc so I've taken early action... just want to be pregnant so badly and it's making me SO anxious. Doc said wont refer me to fertility clinic yet as not been trying long enough and we know I can get pregnant! Just wish I could see in to the future!

Not too long left of the working day... nearly lunchtime! I hope you start to feel better soon xx

sal1987 · 17/01/2019 12:50

@glowingtwigs it's utter shit!! Especially being at work having to put on a brace face!! Keep going, we are over half way through the day!!
You will get pregnant, just stay positive. Have you been to the doctors? That's going to be my next thing because I can't keep going through these emotions each month!!

sal1987 · 17/01/2019 12:48

Thanks everyone. I did think it maybe IB (after spending far too long on google looking at every symptom for it going) and there is a chance it could be based on the colour but I don't want to get my hopes up either!! I'm going to wait till Saturday night, drink a bottle of wine, eat absolute shit and then jump back on the saddle ready for the next month!!
This is the loveliest group I have been on, everyone is so supportive so hope it carries on for us bfn people for next month!!

glowingtwigs · 17/01/2019 12:46

AF got me too @sal1987 Sad1 day late. It's so rubbish isn't it? I know how you feel. I'm struggling at work too. Just trying to think that this is one cycle closer to when I do get a BFP, hopefully soon.
It's likely I'll get pregnant again one day right ladies? Starting to lose hope and thinking that the pregnancy in August was just total luck that won't happen again.

foreverthe2ww · 17/01/2019 12:44

@sal1987 .. I know exactly how you feel, you are definitely not alone, .. try to think of it like this though, you are now on cd1 so very soon it will be time to dtd, .. you could distract yourself with getting ready for this next egg, ... treat yourself to a little indulge tonight but also buy vitamins etc for tomorrow which is a new day and cd2 already. xx

LillianFullStop · 17/01/2019 12:24

Sorry to hear AF got you @sal1987 - treat yourself this week Flowers and we are all here to listen you’re not alone.

Soexciting · 17/01/2019 12:09

@sal1987 I am so sorry AF got you, I am hoping that it is not AF but actually IB but I don't want to give false hope... 4 days is very very early for AF.
TTC is such a lonely thing it's so hard to talk about. You always have all of us to talk to.

It's amazing how our bodies work. For the past 18 hours I have felt a bit off and getting really down like it wasn't going to be my month. Woke up in an absolutely horrible mood, really down and fed up, just been to the toilet and there AF is paying me a visit, 4 days early. I'm at work so trying to hold it together but just feel utterly shit and in some ways so alone even though I'm surrounded by people.
@ohio91 congrats with your BFP, hope a few more of you get yours very soon.

Iamgoingslightlymad · 17/01/2019 08:01

Thank you. Will try one of those and see what happens.

Just want to stop going around in circles. Will see when I can get a doc appointment like most surgerys they can be quite difficult!

foreverthe2ww · 17/01/2019 07:49

@iamgoingslightlymad well its definetly possible if the timing was right even if you only did it once, it only takes one lil sperm :) .. I would suggest trying a first response as a lot of people on here seem to of had negatives with cb and boots own when they are because they are not as sensitive as other tests. boots own is 25mui so not very sensitive. so yea, try again tomorrow with fmu with a first response and if nothing still then leave it for a couple of days and test again, or/and go doc this morning is maybe a good idea to if you are a week late with no result, it could help to ease your mind. fingers crossed for you xx

Iamgoingslightlymad · 17/01/2019 07:32

I should have come on around the 11th, previous was 13th Dec. I worked out I should have ovulated before the 3rd so would be ok to dtd without any problems? But maybe I have got it wrong?

I don't mind either way. We were going to try for another this year anyway just not this soon but I can't stand feeling ill without knowing why and i have got my head round being pregnant so tying myself in knots Sad

foreverthe2ww · 17/01/2019 07:19

@iamgoingslightlymad ok so if you were due 6 days ago that means on the 11th of jan you were due? .. ovulation happens two weeks before you get your period, so the 3rd would mean its only been a week since you ovulated .. so is it possible you have miscalculated when you are due on or maybe when you ovulated or i might be be misunderstanding the dates. x
