@Annny27 Trust me babe I won't be.. just did a cheap amazon test after work, BFN I know I'm only 10DPO but I know I'm not pregnant, i think when you have been TTC as long as we have, you kind of just "know"
It's just shit!
Every time I open the drawer on my dressing table I see my big bundle of positive pregnancy tests from before my MC and it's just so depressing! 😔 I'm going to have to move them.

@Missgoldilocks tell me more about these syringes.. what do you do.. is it really just as simple as it sounds? 🤔 I'm with you on the ivf, think I will look at that around the same time if I'm not pregnant. Would probably only be able to afford one cycle though.. still keeping my fingers crossed that neither of us will need it though🤞🏻

@msunflower it really is a mystery isn't it! I had a miscarriage in May so I know what it feels like waiting for AF to come.. makes it worse that we are so powerless when it comes to TTC, getting pregnant on your first try though should fill you with some positivity. Xx

msunflower · 17/07/2020 16:52

@gems7 HcG levels came back normal/BFN which means it could have been a v.early MC. The spotting doesn't make an awful lot of sense otherwise and AF is 10 days late/no symptoms of of arriving. Will start OPKS tomorrow. Can I even ovulate if my period hasn't arrived? So confused about where I am even in my cycle right now after this! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Missgoldilocks · 17/07/2020 14:46

@anny27 I know, but its still given to people who ovulate because it'll make them ovulate twice in one month so more of a chance etc. The doctor was even telling me he could give me trigger shots to help ovulation but I'm not ready for any of that right now. Anyway my OH really wants a baby now and he said if nothing by January we will do ivf.
They're 1ml syringes on amazon Kind of like calpol ones but better. I know I think it would really help us even if we just dtd the day before ovulation and all the other days just do self insemination lol

Annny27 · 17/07/2020 13:33

I think the worst thing is that we all ovulate so its not even something as simple as getting clomid to start ovulation then everything would be okay! We ovulaye and STILL not pregnant 😭😭

Annny27 · 17/07/2020 13:32

@Missgoldilocks what kind of syringes - like calpol medicine syringes?

I am tempted tbh! I feel like maybe I would do that every other day or something and then dtd on the alternate days - its worth a shot isnt it!

Missgoldilocks · 17/07/2020 13:10

@Annny27 @Gems7 oh girls it's so shit I feel exactly the same. I'm. Only 5 dpo but pretty sure we haven't done it once again 12 month for me too. I literally want to burst into tears all the time I'm so desperate to get pregnant! I'm thinking of getting letrozole or something to boost ovulation and consistently taken it for a few months!! It's so depressing and we are all in the same boat so it's hard to be like yeaaaa to another month we've got this 😕 I've got primrose oil inositol and syringes ready for next month in my amazon basket I will be doing self insemination as well as dtd next month if af comes pretty sure it will (shit just can't be positive anymore) xx

Annny27 · 17/07/2020 11:58

@gems7 it hasn't been as much spotting as I usually have but I have had some. Yep this is month 7 moving onto month 8 after miscarriage and 13th/14th month total from when we started ttc in June 2019!

Well fingers crossed she stays away, you could be one of rhe lucky fertile after miscarriage people!!!

Gems7 · 17/07/2020 11:27

@Annny27 are you still spotting?
I haven't tested no, I am 10DPO today, really don't think I'm pregnant though. AF should be here Tuesday for me and I'm expecting some spotting before hand for a couple of days.
It's just so shit isn't it 😒 it's been 12 months TTC in total now for me and I'm just so fed up and upset with it. I feel really hard done by, like why do we all have to go through so much heartache on this thread? It's not fair!!

I know so many people who are pregnant at the moment aswell, and my sister is not far off being due now, it all really gets me down. When I think about it I could literally burst into tears!

Sorry I'm not cheering you up haha

Xxx

Annny27 · 17/07/2020 11:10

@Gems7 I know I sounds like a broken record but it really does suck right now

I actually don't want to see friends or family incase they ask about ttc or when we will have babies. Its too depressing!

Have you tested? I am 14dpo and just waiting for AF either today or tomorrow now

Gems7 · 16/07/2020 13:34

@Annny27 just cramps/stitches/lower back twinges but not constantly, I just feel weird!!
I'm 9DPO today which upset me this morning because I thought I was 10DPO 🤣 I had the wrong DPO in my head for the last few days!
Should start spotting sat/sun (or even fri) if AF is coming and I am just praying I don't.. but I don't feel pregnant and I really don't think I am going to get my BFP this month. 😏 xx

Annny27 · 16/07/2020 13:28

13dpo and bfn so thats me out and onto month 8 after miscarriage and month 14 overall!!!!!! Honestly its scary

@Gems7 anymore symptoms?

@Missgoldilocks Its crazy that we have all been here for so long

@PrettyTulip how are you lovely?

msunflower · 15/07/2020 20:01

@Gems7 it's such a crazy journey, I can't imagine how exhausting it must be 12 months in, thank you and I hope you have a good journey ahead too x

Gems7 · 15/07/2020 19:37

@msunflower our bodies are very confusing at times. I'm 12 months in to TTC and mines still no easier to understand. Good luck for your next cycle though hun xx

msunflower · 15/07/2020 18:32

@Gems7 I had light bleeding probably about two liners a day for 2-3 days, it came with cramps and nausea and it wasn't like a proper period, no clotting and was super dark in colour. Then I had a tiny bit of spotting, only a wipe about a week ago. I thought the same, surely I would have had a BFP if a MC/chemical, but i can't explain this spotting any other way? Never had it before, not on the pill, and had nausea/cramps/heightened smell. At a loss at what could have happened if not MC/chemical but guess I'll never know unfortunately!

Gems7 · 15/07/2020 18:24

@msunflower did you have much bleeding? It could maybe have been a chemical pregnancy.. I would have thought you would have surely seen a BFP though at some point with any kind of loss if you have been testing.. either way it's still rubbish! Really sorry hun xx

msunflower · 15/07/2020 15:22

@Annny27 I didn't use opks but have been tracking my cm for years on my app, everything was normal around the time of ovulation with cm as expected for ovulation. The timing of when I bled and the early pregnancy symptoms then them disappearing after the bleeding I had all point to a very early MC I think 😔

Annny27 · 15/07/2020 15:17

@msunflower are you sure you ovulated when you did? If you haven't had a positive test then I doubt that you have had a miscarriage xx

msunflower · 15/07/2020 14:28

@gems7 the early pregnancy unit think that my symptoms suggest less likely ectopic but more likely that I had a very early miscarriage unfortunately but will never know for certain 😭 currently trying to get through to my GP who asked me to get back in touch.

Annny27 · 15/07/2020 14:00

@Gems7 no but I am having cramps and spotting and its 12dpo so that's how AF starts for me!

Gutted obviously but actual have no tears left to cry about it (that sounds so dramatic 🤣)

So when AF arrives will call the private doctor to set up an appointment!

@Missgoldilocks so many groups that I started in are dwindling down now that they all have their bfps! We sre the ones left behind haha

Gems7 · 15/07/2020 12:58

@Missgoldilocks I think so yes, although all I remember very clearly from before I got my BFP was that I was sooooo bloated like I am right before AF 🤷🏻‍♀️ AF is due Tuesday though so we'll soon see!
@Annny27 have you tested again since Monday? Xx

Missgoldilocks · 15/07/2020 12:47

@Gems7 I get ovary aches but not back pain too. Did you get the same when you was pregnant? Xx

Gems7 · 15/07/2020 12:29

@Missgoldilocks omg yes that was so bizarre. I was replying to @Annny27 but it ended up on the wrong board so I requested to have it removed. Occasionally I'll have a flick through the other threads if I'm bored and all I can think is I've posted it on the wrong one by mistake but how I've managed to do that I do not know!! I'm a bit thick when it comes to technology!

Had achy pains again all morning in my general ovary area and lower back only on my left side. Has it on and off for a few days now, does anyone else get this? Xx

Missgoldilocks · 15/07/2020 10:37

@Gems7 it's so heartbreaking xx I really hope we all get good news soon god knows this group needs it! I think you went to post on the crazy gang thread? It said the message had been pulled but I saw your name. That thread used to be very busy but everyone except a few have their bfps now xx

@PrettyTulip how are you? Any update with the doctors? X

@anny27 how are you doing x

msunflower · 15/07/2020 10:35

@Gems7 I just spoke with the GP over the phone and she thinks it could possibly be an early ectopic pregnancy and she's called the early pregnancy unit at the hospital asking them to call me. She said it may also be that I am pregnant but my HcG levels are still too low. Either way, I will likely have to go in for a blood test to test HcG levels soon and have a call with the hospital - will keep you posted! Feeling a bit nervous as my GP actually called me back after my appointment to say she called the hospital herself on my behalf - just waiting to hear from them now!

msunflower · 15/07/2020 07:55

@Gems7 nope, been off the pill for years so it wasn't that!
