Being unrealistic with myself

211 replies

Wondering if anyone else experienced this... I am already setting unrealistic expectations for myself. I had my coil out 2 weeks ago, had sex maybe twice since and for some reason am disappointed I am not pregnant ... any tips on how to not do this to myself??

Touched my phone. AF decide to come with a vengeance.... but new cycle and trying now.... as it came early though unsure when to start testing with OPKs.

@27andcounting Went to Drs yesterday because of nausea (if not preg then something wrong!) and she sent me for blood tests as thinks I might be pregnant. AF due yesterday and didn’t arrive.. if nothing today then I’m officially late.

How you getting on?

@ScaredFlamingo give it time, if you implanted late then there may not be enough HCG to be picked up on a test yet. Fingers crossed

Really bad nausea today. Had to leave work; dizzy and sick. 14 dpo 1-2 days before period... tested at 2:30pm... BFN

@27andcounting I hate the not knowing if it’s just unwell, a mean period or growing a tiny human!! I think if AF comes I’ll be sad but if she doesn’t and I get BFP then the freak out will begin! Either way... I’m gonna be emotional haha!

@ScaredFlamingo oh sounds promising! Hopefully you get answers soon, I always think the not knowing is the worst part! Keep me updated

@27andcounting December will be your month!!

I’ve had bad nausea today (13 dpo)... holding out testing...! Keep convincing myself I’m out and then something happens

@ScaredFlamingo I wish.... seems like I just coming on really early this month! So will try again in December! Hopefully I can really pinpoint my ovulation this time! Trying to use OPKs but didn't get a bold line last month just a couple of really faint ones. Least it means I can have a drink on my holiday!!

@27andcounting Could that have been implantation?
I’m having a bit of cramping today (period due in a few days) and bit emotional so I think AF on her way and I’m out this month!

@ScaredFlamingo well I'll keep my fingers cross until AF turns up!
I'm
Okay currently 8DPO I think. However strangely I've had a really heavy bleed and loads of cramping, but AF isn't due for like another week

@27andcounting I know, have to keep reminding myself I’m still early!! Having some dizzy spells as well today... partner keeps asking if I’m ok as have seemed a bit “off” the last couple days!

27andcounting · 23/11/2019 19:52

@ScaredFlamingo don't give up hope yet! Wait and see if AF comes first!

@Kimberleah8 I didn’t know that?! Thank you!!
Ugh my partner doesn’t have a particularly high sex drive... top that with the stress of ttc and I’m not sure we’ll ever get there. Have to remind him “you have to have sex to get pregnant” haha!

I was quite disappointed the first month of officially TTC when it didnt happen. About to ovulate for my second cycle soon. I need to chill. I read its about 1 in 3 chance even when you DTD during appropriate times.

Chlosavxox · 22/11/2019 17:53

@27andcounting ah I wish I did have luck - my body's fine at getting pregnant it's just staying pregnant that's the problem, so hoping I don't lose this baby too! My first signs are always sore boobs + period like cramps (which I only normally get once I'm actually on my period)

@goodforbrian I’m due on Wednesday/Thursday next week so only 10dpo (if that!) so yes... probably too early either way. Will try and hold out until Friday next week.
Yes 3 months next month for me too.
We probably just need to relax...! Easier said then done!!

goodforbrian · 22/11/2019 12:53

@ScaredFlamingo you are still in with a chance! When is AF due for you? And yes fingers crossed me next month! 3rd month lucky hopefully x

@goodforbrian Oh man! Next month!!!!
I did an early test this morning... BFN so maybe next month!

Good luck @ScaredFlamingo I reckon you should take an early response test tomorrow and at least if it's negative you can console yourself in the fact it's early and could change? I'm out this month... AF reared her ugly head this morning grrrrr 🙈

@27andcounting technically I could do the early response test tomorrow but I’m nervous to do it and get a negative!!

@ScaredFlamingo how long you got to wait before you test?

@Chlosavxox well I hope I'm as lucky as you! Congratulations though Grin how early were your first symptoms?
