A thread for anyone who’s 11dpo. Mine was a bfn today so kind of counting myself out, anyone else either bfn or bfp? X

@Namechanger0800 confused is an understatement . I haven't dared done another test yet OH bought some more FRER yesterday but honestly I'm
Too scared to do them !!

I had cramps last night (very mild ) but nothing this morning so will see how the day goes I'm 13 DPO today AF due Wednesday

Literally it's a waiting game !

Namechanger0800 · 27/01/2020 08:09

Reading the updates it's just so confusing and emotional isn't it. My pink spotting has not developed into an early AF as suspected and if anything is getting less. Dontt r have sore boobs which I usually get before af but them also get in pg as well so......

Now am 13DPo and trying to have will power not to waste my last Test. With a BFN at 11dpo I'm pretty sure I'm out - my gut says not this month but my heart says maybe?

Donnat89 · 27/01/2020 07:34

@SS123456 how confusing for you ? Maybe go to see your GP see what they say ? X

SS123456 · 27/01/2020 07:28

It was a BFN for me this morning at 14dpo with a FRER so I assume I am out 🤷🏻‍♀️. Still no sign of AF and I am on day 37 of my current cycle (I normally have 28-30 day cycles) and I bled during and after DTD last night 🤪. Only pink spotting this morning so I'm so confused!

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 23:01

@peachypetite thanks hun x I've never actually used ovulation sticks it's bad enough now obsessed I get with the TWW I usually just keep track of my CM but may start using the ovulation sticks if we haven't managed to get pregnant by March .

Yes exactly when AF shows I'm just gonna keep my self busy and prepare for next cycle .

It is stressful but we all go through it and eventually we will get what we are hoping for

I've only just turned 31 but I too have those moments of anxiety where I feel like time is running out for me so totally get your point xxxxx

peachypetite · 26/01/2020 22:38

So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I am looking forward to work this week so I can keep busy and get my period over with, I will plan some date nights with DH so it feels less clinical. I have ordered clear blue ovulation sticks from groupon of all places but they had a good deal on and I hope they will be useful this coming month, mainly to see if it matches up with what the app suggests. I’m 32 soon and do feel the pressure of my clock too.

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 22:33

@peachypetite I think we all get a little obsessed , it took us a year after I had the coil taken on (disregarding the 6 months it took for my cycle to return back to normal ) unfortunately we lost that baby at 14 weeks , it will be a year in March for us .

I get your frustration and upset though , but you do learn to sort of move on from each cycle quite quickly as you can get excited each month at the idea of trying again .

I have pretty much prepared myself that AF is going to show but I still feel gutted as feel like we were soooo close this month . No doubt I will also have a little cry when AF comes but just got to keep going

Keep yo ur chin up hun it will happen ! Xxxx

peachypetite · 26/01/2020 22:20

Urgh Donna :( I have been off the pill for over a year and I am glad I have had a break from hormonal contraception because my cycles were still erratic up until September. Used condoms until October but January has been the only month where I’ve been trying to time it, use an app, etc, as I wanted to start off relaxed. Unfortunately now I’ve become obsessed.

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 22:07

@Chichi2020 yes exactly just want it over with though and move on and try again ! Xx

Chichi2020 · 26/01/2020 21:35

@SS123456 sounds like it’s worth doing a test in the morning! fingers crossed xx

@Donnat89 I hope it’s not af but if it is then its just onto the next cycle and try again Xx

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 21:19

I think AF is her way mild cramps have started tonight .... not gonna lie feel a bit gutted 😟

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 19:30

@SS123456 really hope it's good neee for you xxxx

SS123456 · 26/01/2020 19:10

Yeah I think I might! Don't want to get my hopes back up though after coming to terms with being out for this month 🙈. I have felt dreadful this week though, 4 days of feeling sick and 2 days of headaches so who knows what my body is up to 🤷🏻‍♀️

Chichi2020 · 26/01/2020 18:24

@SS123456 oh wow, are you going to test again in the morning?

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 17:11

@Sparkle2020 at this point I think it's been scared , I've only got 20 miu ones left so more likely to get a negative the earlier I do them . I have prepared myself for BFN but will still be gutted after the 3 I did that looked positive . Soo annoying!

@SS123456 fingers crossed for you hun ! Maybe it will be good news for you after all xxx

Sparkle2020 · 26/01/2020 16:29

@Donnat89 yeah fair enough! Definitely the best idea if you’ve got the willpower to do it!

@SS123456 ooh hope it’s good news for you!

SS123456 · 26/01/2020 16:26

So I thought AF had arrived yesterday after having a half decent amount of red bleeding but today at 13dpo I am back to a small bit of brown blood so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 15:50

@Sparkle2020 haven't done any today I'm trying to wait until Tuesday if I'm honest as AF is due Wednesday. I should start getting cramps over the next few days as I usually do before AF

I'm so emotionally drained from it all yesterday I can't face doing any more tests right now would rather wait and see if AF comes

I also use the gym as a distraction it does help ! Xxx

Sparkle2020 · 26/01/2020 15:47

@peachypetite I totally feel you. Hey if you’re using the gym as a distraction I do that too, it does help sometimes doesn’t it. Such a shit feeling though. How many cycles did you say you’re onto again?

@Donnat89 oh really! Ahhh i see, maybe the they’re the same as the fast first responses then! Have you had any positives today?

OP posts:
Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 15:19

@Sparkle2020 I picked up one of those answer tests today . Had a read about them they are 20 miu like most the others so not great for early testing like FRER which is 6.3miu

But like you said do look exactly like FR just not as sensitive

Hope you are Oki hun try to test as much as possible xxxxx

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 14:53

@peachypetite yes it's hard when you have situations like that . So I get why you feel so crappy . How long have you been TTC for ? Xxx

peachypetite · 26/01/2020 13:52

Yesterday I had two social events and all involved a lot of babies. Probably hasn’t helped anything. A lot of my friends got pregnant so quickly after their weddings too, I feel like I’ll be the one that struggles. I am going to force myself to go the gym later.

Donnat89 · 26/01/2020 13:37

@peachypetite it's horrible isn't it I feel you . I feel like my emotions have been ripped apart last few days and I'm still non the wiser I'm literally sitting waiting for AF now and it's horrible I just want it over I go from being hopeful to being sad to being angry . Like you said it's just the not knowing if someone said to me it will happen in June I could deal with that but I hate the thought of going through this month after month.

@Sparkle2020 yes hopefully it will put your mind at rest a bit and you will get some answers soon .

I really do feel for you all . We are all in the same boat

Xxxxx

peachypetite · 26/01/2020 13:25

I just didn’t expect it to be this hard. I think it’s the not knowing too which is tough, who knows if it could be next month, the one after or months down the line and still nothing. And if a negative pregnancy isn’t enough you then have all the shit that comes with your period to make you feel even worse. I just feel very teary, need to pull myself together.

Sparkle2020 · 26/01/2020 13:12

@Donnat89 thank you! Yes actually makes me feel a bit more hopeful as it may explain why I’ve struggled and may fix things

@peachypetite aw no! Talk to us, we’re all in the same boat! How you feeling?
