Hi all ,

I want some company .... currently in my 10 month of TTC after a miscarriage last March at 14 weeks

Due to ovulate around the 10th so my TWW will start around the 11th

Anyone else in the same boat ? Let's keep each other company

Ps I need support not to test early as drove myself mad last month !

Xxx

Ooh thanks @Donnat89! It’s so amazing to hear support in what feels like such an isolating experience. I’m going to follow your lead and try to hold out until Tuesday with you!

@Sammyclaire22 just because you have no symptoms doesn't mean your out . And as they say it only takes one time . So I have my fingers crossed for you xxxx

@Juno231 yea that's true , I think il Chuck it just in case !

Pains I thought where AF coming have unhelpful hours stopped again ... when usually they would be getting worse .

Arrghh just wish it would come .

I am refusing to test until Tuesday when AF is due as even if it's BFN I will convince myself it's wrong until AF is actually here so it's pointless

@Figey welcome to the thread , sorry to hear of your BFN . But could still be too early I would wait a day or two then test again ?

Fingers crossed you all get your BFP !

I do wish AF would just come if she's going to I hate this wait with a passion ! X

Hi everyone 👋 I’ve been following from the sideline, fingers crossed for everyone and testing alongside you all.
Ladies just after a bit of advice. All month I’ve been convinced I’m out this month. We only DTD once in my fertile window due to OH travelling for work.
Unhelpfully yesterday morning I had what I was convinced was implantation pain 🤦‍♀️ A very short sharp pain in my right for around 30 seconds that literally stopped me in my tracks, which repeated a few minutes later, followed by faint spotting that had disappeared by the evening. I know I released an egg on the right side this month due to scans. I doubted myself as 11DPO seemed late for implantation but AF was due today and no sign of her at all. So I tested today at 12DPO and BFN.
I made the mistake of telling OH about my speculative implantation yesterday and he’s been pestering me to test today, but I just can’t bring myself to tell him it was a BFN. Trying to spare him the rollercoaster. I’m hanging on for a BFN but should I just be realistic and focus on next month?

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre 😞 I think mine is going to come in the next few day. Period cramps for the last few days that come and go but normally I don't experience cramping until the actual day of af...
Just want af to come now and get it over and done with..

What has everyone been doing today?
I'm trying to declutter and hopefully redecorate..was the garage today to keep me distracted and stop me obsessing googling random stuff on dpo lol

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 23/02/2020 17:52

I'm out. AF arrived overnight. Stuck at work today with far too much time to think and really painful cramps. Trying to look forward with hope to next month, but can't stop wondering what we're doing wrong. Scared it will never happen.

Please keep posting your BFPs, knowing that they do eventually happen is really helpful. Fx for everyone testing this week x

Sammyclaire22 · 23/02/2020 17:16

Good luck to all those testing in the next few days!
I think I'm 9 dpo but have no symptoms, so don't think it's my month. Been keeping busy in the garden though so feeling less obsessive than last month. Although I found a IC and caved last night, no idea why as it's too early, and id had water so was never going to be positive!

Juno231 · 23/02/2020 16:46

@Donnat89 keep us updated but do bear in mind that pregnancy tests expire!

@LRHR I use flow app and to be honest always been spot on , my cycles where out for a few months by a day or 2 either side of the normal 28 days but last 2 months I have had 27 day cycles and the predictions have been correct . So I'm pretty certain this month will be correct too .

I will keep you updated , my sister has just given me a clear blue preg test that she had left laying around from when she was TTC . I feel like it's a sign 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm desperately trying to to test unless AF doesn't come but the temptation is strong !!

Hope you get your BFP And if you are not due until next week you are
Defo still in with a chance just means you tested to early xxx

LRHR · 23/02/2020 15:46

@Donnat89 it is torture. Keep us updated.
I'm going off Premom app for dates but thinking they are completely out and I may not be due on till next week 😩😩
Just going to wait it out now

@LRHR these last few days are always torture for me . Like still holding out hope for BFP but knowing it won't happen I had a BFN DPO 11 on FRER so fairly certain I'm out so just wish AF would come now .

Least if AF comes bang on time I know my cycles are correct !

Let's hope the next 2 days go quick ! And fingers crossed against all odds for a BFP !!! Xxxx

OP posts:
LRHR · 23/02/2020 14:58

@Donnat89 I don't normally have any symptoms before AF but last month I started spotting 3-4days before my AF and I thought it was IB 😩
Fingers crossed for all of us xxx

@LRHR no apart from slight cramping and back aches which had stopped for 2 days nothing but I don't usually have any spotting before AF arrives it just "arrives " in full force .

I haven't tested since Friday and don't want to if AF doesn't arrive Tuesday I will then test

Fingers crossed you may just get Your BFP yet ! Xxx

@Donnat89 @bribri1997 any sign of AF?
I'm 2 days late, BFN 😩 xx

LRHR · 23/02/2020 13:25

@LexieBB I'm 2 days late (15dpo) BFN 😩
Think I'm possibly out this month as no symptoms other than period like cramps xx

Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 10:13

@bribri1997 I'm due AF same day and all my aches and pains are back again today after a blissful 2 day break so I think AF is definitely on the way .

Gutted ..... on to next month xxx

bribri1997 · 23/02/2020 08:06

Think I’m out this month. AF due Tuesday but tested this morning BFN. Got cramps like period pains so think AF is on her way! Confused

LexieBB · 23/02/2020 05:07

13 dpo today. AF due tomorrow...

@peyton14 yea I am so literally 3 days , did I test yesterday morning (one step strip and FRER ) at 11 DPO and got BFN .

But for the last week up until yesterday I had back ache and mild cramps ..... which usually means AF is on the way for me . It has all now stopped so I'm hoping it may be a good sign for me , or my body being weird (which if most likely is) .

Anyway I refuse to test anymore unless AF doesn't show as that will be the only way I really know anyway . Just got to have some will power and hope for the best .

It sucks when it takes so long so yep we defo all know how each other feels ! We will see ! Keeping everything crossed for everyone ! X

peyton14 · 22/02/2020 21:08

@Donnat89 are you due for AF on tuesday? Yeah it's a good thing my bfps come early but for both of my daughter's it took 14nmonths-2 years to conceive them so I've also had A LOT of bfns also unfortunately so I know how you all feel x praying for all of ya that af stays well away.

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 20:48

@peyton14 welcome ! Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon

Thinking about it I've never got a BFP early always after AF is due . So it's great you can test early xxx

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 20:44

@pineapple2 I've refused to test anymore , I last tested 11DPO which was Thursday and won't test again unless AF doesn't show .

I read lots of threads with people having BFN test even later than 11DPO and went on to get a BFP so there is still hope .

I feel much better no aches or pain last 2 days which is unusual for me as they should be getting worse if AF was on the way

But could be another nasty trick my body is playing on me .

I'm just gonna hold out and see if AF comes Tuesday if she doesn't I shall test

I do have one FRER upstairs and some one step strips so the temptation is there but I'm holding out ! Xxxx

Hi all. Do you mind if I join in? Literally my first time in a thread, I normally just google and read lol this is my first cycle TTC after having my copper IUD removed. Also my first time using opks.
I am 3dpo but have had previous bfps come back around 9dpo. So not long!

pineapple2 · 22/02/2020 19:53

11dpo today. Tested again. BFN. I am using very cheap tests though, not to sure how reliable they are. I've done my research and they say they are as good as the next brand. I will only do a FRER when I'm past af due date.
@Adrianoska I know how you feel. I'm 37 and husband 37. We have been trying/not preventing pregnancy for over 2 years. I've got a child from a previous relationship who is 18 and my husband has children. We have had tests and there's nothing wrong..a case of unexplained infertility so I do worry that that's it for us but I'm hoping not..
Some of my friends have conceived in their 40s.
It is devastating and so disappointing month after month but like a few have said here stay positive and it will happen, just takes time..(why can't Mother Nature just send a stork with a baby) life would be so much easier.

I've kept really busy today and bought a wonderful new shark hoover woo hoo it's amazing but that's for another thread lol 😂
