@Skygirl1983 just about but I don't think this is my month, I'm only 3-4 days away from period so it should have picked something up I'm assuming. I'll leave it for now and wait to see if AF arrives.

@Skygirl1983 tested today...BFN for me. I used the cb 6 days early one, took me bloody ages to find one over here 😒

Maisy24 · 20/11/2019 15:29

@Skygirl1983 Fingers crossed for you for Friday! I'll be Friday morning. Xxxx

Maisy24 · 20/11/2019 15:28

@Skygirl1983 Ah right, I've ordered some FRERs from amazon; ready to test Friday morning. I feel like it's not my month though and AF is on her way. 🙈

If I'm not pregnant this cycle I'm going back to the doctors to be referred

@Maisy24 I'll test on Friday evening for the first time. Should have a good chance of picking up a positive if it's there to be picked up.

@Maisy24 I'm only 8dpo today so pointless me even attempting to test! My AF is due on tuesday. I had cramps and side pain yesterday and the day before. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it was implantation. And if it was a positive should show within the next couple of days. I'm trying so hard though not to get excited as I know the reality of it is is that I'm not pregnant. I have had symptoms for that past 3 cycles and nothing so dont know why I think this month is any different.

@Skygirl1983 I am 9dpo today, are you testing today? I keep getting that horrid feeling AF is coming but I'm not officially due on until around Saturday/Sunday so is it all in my imagination 😫 xxx

ceebee21 · 20/11/2019 14:43

@Skygirl1983 @mellymoo86 Thanks girls.

It really was an emotional rollercoaster come to think of it... fingers crossed we all get our BFP's soon xx

mellymoo86 · 20/11/2019 14:41

@ceebee21 sorry to hear that, must have been a massive emotional roller coaster. Good on you for being a strong woman! I hope you get your BFP this time round. Xxx

mellymoo86 · 20/11/2019 14:38

@Skygirl1983 tell me about it!! It's a joke lol. I just hope all our turns come sooner rather than later.

@ceebee21 so sorry to hear what you have been through. Fingers crossed that you aren't trying for much longer.

@Skygirl1983

Thanks, I am feeling fine so far - no different!

Well, to give a bit of background, I had my implant removed on 9th July and fell pregnant straight away - BFP 4 weeks later.

Went for a scan at what should have been 9 weeks, followed by another 2 scans which confirmed a MMC. I had Surgical management on 1st October.

We tried again straight away, but AF arrived on 2nd November, and here we are I guess on my 3rd cycle.

It doesn't seem long, but to me it seems like a lifetime as so much as happened!

@ceebee21 welcome. Of course you can jump on. Some have had BFPs, some haven't but have hung around cos we are all just as nuts as each other and some are still obsessing over every symptom and waiting to test!! How are you feeling so far? What cycle is this for you?

OP posts:
mellymoo86 · 20/11/2019 14:27

@Skygirl1983 yeah I agree, I think if you can fall pregnant quick you don't have to dwell so much on all the ins and outs. My best friend is the same and she doesn't understand why I'm stressing about every little thing. I'm just like THATS BECAUSE YOU GET PREGNANT IN THE FIRST TRY. He husband apparently didn't even cum inside her. So one must have escaped. Seriously!

ceebee21 · 20/11/2019 14:25

Can I jump on?

I am currently 4DPO and likely to test early next week.

Congratulations to those with BFP's already...

how is everyone else doing - all in the 2WW I guess?

@CiaraJ01 I have said for years I think I have SAD. I have zero interest in anything once winter sets in and never want to get out! I'm lucky on a weekend if I'm awake by 10am!

I'm the same with my cycles now though. I have never been so aware of what's going on with my body. My sister couldn't understand why I was tracking so much as she just falls pregnant so easily!! She had number 4 9 months ago and says that's it for her but I reckon she'll be pregnant again soon. And before me!!

CiaraJ01 · 20/11/2019 14:08

I was really laid back all month and convinced it hadnt happened. But now AF wont bloody show up (no pun intended) my minds in overdrive!!

mellymoo86 · 20/11/2019 13:59

@CiaraJ01 😂 tell me about it, I'm the same. Notice every symptoms every minute of the day. And if my AF doesn't come on time I'm in panic mode....why why why!!! I had no idea about cycles etc before I started. I was like wtf?! And I thought I was 28 days and last month I started at 26 days, so now I know I'm between 26-28 days, then I'm reading how a short luteal phase isn't good and then I panic again that I can't conceive because of that.

This month had def been better than last month in terms of worrying and stressing about it. Think the longer you try the more you just can't be assed to go through all that drama. Or so I say, I'm sure I'll be the same 😂 you last did a test ydy right?

CiaraJ01 · 20/11/2019 13:53

Exactly!! Its not the waiting now its the utter confusion!! @mellymoo86 that's also half the problem - like before TTC would I have even noticed? I started the womans log app because I was that oblivious to AF I never really new when to expect it to notice of I was late or not!! Now I expect an hourly schedule 😂

Yep I swear I suffer from that condition SAD in winter!! To make matters worse my anticipated contract review meeting about Mat leave etc just went out the window as every other conversation took longer and we rang out of time! Taking myself home early today to wallow, that's it! 🖕🖕

@CiaraJ01 looking after your big dog will definitely be hard work!! And is so rubbish being home alone. I just want to hibernate in the winter. I'll probably talk myself out of the gym again tonight.

Late implantation is possible, and if so means you wont get a positive until it happens. I think the AF due date is worse than the whole tww!!! You just want an answer!!

OP posts:
mellymoo86 · 20/11/2019 13:43

@Skygirl1983 yeah our cycles are in sync, fingers crossed for both of us. @CiaraJ01 sorry you're having a crappy day, I've noticed in the last few months that I've had different symptoms in my luteal phase which confuses the hell out of me. Makes me think pregnancy and then AF starts. When I feel something i just think am I dwelling on it because I'm ttc or not? Realistically I wouldn't give two thoughts about the symptoms I've had. I need counselling after this lol

CiaraJ01 · 20/11/2019 13:41

@skygirl1983 think I'm just missing my OH and a bit tired trying to be a single parent to my 8 stone rottie 😂😂 Plus I've noticed lately the gym absolutely floors me the next day 🙄

I still have lachey pains, surely this cant be implantation?? Or surely the FRER last night has to be like 99% accurate at this stage??

@CiaraJ01 sorry you are having a rubbish day. I woke in the night for a drink (never usually happens) then convinced myself someone was in the house. It wasnt, it was my cat wandering around but I never usually hear her.

Dont know what to think about your CM though. Our bodies can be really annoying when the do the unexpected!!
