I couldn't find an August Bus so thought I'd set one up! AF got me this morning ☹️

Age 28
CD1
Cycle 5
TTC 1

Have tried temping and testing, relaxed it all a fair bit last cycle due to my temporary insanity!

Morning guys! Sorry to hear about your bfn but remember you all still have lots of time for a positive to show! I have a huge problem with testing too early. I buy a big batch of cheapies off eBay so don’t feel too bad that I’m wasting money but my husband still gets annoyed! I’ve got a second scan this morning to see if the cysts on my ovaries have reduced in size. If they haven’t it could be a reason why I’m struggling to conceive. Also do you get your partners to take multi vitamins? I’m trying desperately to get mine to take a vitamin every night but it’s like dealing with a child! He doesn’t like the taste of them so moans and hides them from me. They are so expensive as I brought the preconception pregnacare ones!

It's so disheartening seeing the words " not pregnant" Sad altho I think I am only 7dpo so maybe too early. I'm going to test again on Friday and NO SOONER!!

Yes do it!! If it's bfn you can always just try again in another day or two (let's be honest it would be one day!)

I will test too Grin fingers crossed and baby dust for you!!

whatsthecraic91 · 29/07/2019 18:31

@Louise190 yes due Saturday/Sunday! I just feel different, I have sore nipples for the first time ever, weird cramps, sore back, tiredness and moody! Could be my body playing tricks on me!!

@rachieg88 I think I might in the morning Blush

Rachieg88 · 29/07/2019 18:24

@whatsthecraic91 omg I am DESPERATE to test!!! Trying to wait until weds which is still super early but even that feels like forever away!! I'd rather just know one way or the other Confused then can move onwards and upwards!

@Louise190 you're so restrained waiting until af is late!! I am jealous that you're so much more strong willed than me Blush

@whatsthecraic91 oh interesting! 🤞🏻 Presumably your app is telling you you're due at the weekend? Are you normally on time with them?

@november90 it's okay to feel that way. I've found recently that using the headspace app has helped me to deal with some things. I've had therapy in the past, years ago for unrelated reasons and it's similar to what I can remember of that. Hate to sound like I'm selling something but it honestly just helps me with my mind. Especially when I feel like I'm just surrounded by BFPs. I love how many supportive people there are on this thread! I just know I can check in and speak to like minded people.

I think I'm holding off to test again as my pattern, as I've probably previously mentioned, has been to test and then get my period more or less straight away which felt like a double gut punch. I've had cramps all of last night. Different to usual but then that little voice in my head says I'm reading too much into stuff. There was some pulling about 5am. Took my temps this morning and they still haven't gone back up since yesterday's dip. Who knows.

I hope everyone who tests gets their BFP and I hope you have screenshot your replies @november90. Keep reading them and focus on yourself and most of all being kind to yourself.

whatsthecraic91 · 29/07/2019 17:53

@Louise190 I also advise against it! I just feel different this month it’s strange Confused

Oh @november90 I'm sorry you're feeling so down! It's so easy to fall in to a negative headspace isn't it! I think focusing on mental and physic fitness is a good and positive distraction. I've rejoined the gym and focussing on our diet and I have found that has helped distract me and give me a more positive mind set, I'm feeling a lot better in general too. Self care is important I think.

I'm 9DPO today and I promise I have been super relaxed but the HPTs caught my eye just now and I couldn't resist! BFN obviously! But I'm feeling ok, I don't think it's going to happen for us any time soon and I have sort of made me peace with it!

Hope everyone else is doing well!
