Anyone else on the waiting bench of february?

Hello
I’m new here! Been TTC since June 2019 and it’s my first, but I’m 35!

Had a chemical pregnancy in December, which was harder than I expected.

It’s lonely and stressful TTC and nice to see so many people in the same boat. The rollercoaster each month takes its toll doesn’t it??

I’m only a day past ovulation so not due until 23rd Feb. Used to be like clockwork so i was never late with my my period until December when I was a week late! Tested a faint positive but then nothing and period came :(
Not a good start to 2020, messed with my head.

Then last month nothing either and was 3 days late.

It’s that really hard thing of not wanting to get your hopes up but it’s so hard not to!?

Af has just arrived. Well I think it’s af. Other half is still holding out that it’s implantation bleeding lol but who knows. Feel a bit down as I was really hoping lol calendar is pin pointing me at 14dpo now as readjusted my ovulation day as two days later than I thought based on my tracking today as my period. I was still DTD around that time.Who knows tho think I’m just clutching at straws tbh onto to March I suppose

Tested BFN so it is obviously the prenatal vits, I'm gonna keep taking them daily and see if it sorts itself out, bit gutted but I didnt feel pregnant xx

AF is due to arrive today and sorry for TMI but me and my partner did the deed last night and there was blood so I put a pad on and iv woken up this morning to nothing not even a little spec of blood.
Got a feeling she's going to show late on purpose ! I really hate this every month

Hello!! I'm on the bench too..... although feel like I'm slipping off the edge today! I'm 11DPO and got a BFN on FRER. I've had some early positives at 9DPO during last cycles which resulted in chemical pregnancies, so I was really hoping to see a positive line by now. I'm not due AF until 15/16th Feb, so it's still very early. Im having lots of cramping and very sore boobs. I love these forums, thanks for being here xx

Ohhhh fingers crossed!!

Soi just nipped into boots bought frer, now just apprehensive about checking cos guaranteed as soon as you do AF starts without warning lol will check on my next pee and report back

I’ve had no spotting at all. From last week I’ve had my usual af symptoms... bloated, cramps and moody. But I’ve also had extra... feeling full quicker and what I think is indigestion discomfort (which I don’t usually suffer from) feeling like I want to be sick. Sore back and like shooting/nipping pains around sides and tops of thighs?? Also a ‘hungover ‘ feeling. The 3 days before af was due I was having a lot of cm also but all that has since stopped. So confused as these signs can also all be explained by af and a bug as I might just be sick. Ugh so annoyed lol

I'm getting mild cramping at night, are you getting the same? I've had no spotting or symptoms, have you? @2020wish

Not the gummie ones just the normal tablets.. but think they are just the same thing.

Same gummie ones?

I’m 3 days late now. I’ve never been late and have pretty regular cycles. Got bfn on frer today. I started those pregnancare vits also this month although last month I was taking the Superdrug branded ones and I thought they had all the same vits in them :(

Well I'm late 4 days now, AF was due on the 6th, gonna take a frer today. I'm wondering if I'm not pregnant and that the pregnacare gummies vits I started this month has delayed my AF. I'm pretty sure if I dont come up as pregnant on the frer then it must be a delay due to vitamins. I've got no symptoms except mild cramping, which can be a sign of both. Our bodies are not helpful xx

Morning guys and hey to everyone who has joined the Feb bench!

I caved and tested this morning and now have a serious case of line eyes. I'm literally going cross eyed looking at the stick. Can anyone see anything or is is just me hoping?

@Babydancing2020 I'll definetely watch the videos today. How are you getting on?

@Eatsleepbakerepeat it's my partner's birthday today which I why I tested. I'm still none the wiser though, it's probably just too early to tell. I read somewhere that zinc is linked to low testosterone levels, poor sperm quality and an increased risk of male infertility so my OH just makes sure there is zinc in his everyday multivitamins.

Hope everyone has a good Monday! X

Hey! I'm in the wait due af 21st feb the day of my partner's birthday which I cant decide if it terrifies or excites me!
Random question does anyone partner take vitamins to help the baby making?

Evening All,

I've been TTC since May 2018, currently 8DPO on CD26, AF is due Tuesday. I already feel like it's a no this month I always have a low mood in the few days before AF. Fingers crossed I'm wrong!

Evening ladies!

I'be been TTC since October 2019 but keeping my hopes up that every next cycle will be the lucky one! I'm currently 9 DPO and AF isn't due until 17th. I'm doing my usual of symptom spotting like crazy 😜 last month was didn't have any symptoms what so ever. This month I've had a couple but they could easily be a sign of my impending period! Sore boobs and cramping! The TWW feels like torture at times xx

@Babydancing2020
I'm the same, I want to be happy for them but I just can't be, my partners mother wants a grandchild too and she keeps saying we've got a year because she wants it before 35 jokingly and I just think to myself we've been trying to give you one for over a year now but it doesn't seem to be happening, Iv got a feeling my period is coming tomorrow but I'm still clinging on to the slightest bit of hope that it doesn't which I do every month and it gets me every time, here's to this being it

I love the fact that we're all due af around the same time so are all exactly in the same boat. It's so hard to resist the urge to test. But trying to be strong and hold out until the weekend.

@Babydancing2020 I'm not on a special diet. But now I'm going to look up fertile diets obsessively on Google haha. We literally DTD every day for when my app said I was in the fertile period and then one day extra for good measure! I've never heard of maca powder before! What is it and where did you get it from? I also have internet cheapies at the ready! (And a lot of them..) when do you think you'll test?

@courtney229 it does all sound promising! TTC drags soooo much and watching everyone else you feel happy for them but also so disappointed that is not happening for you. I have everything crossed for us and sprinkling baby dust everywhere.

Hey @butterflylove81 hopefully it will be a valentine's Day to remember. Let us know how you get on! X

@Babydancing2020
It would be beyond amazing, this whole process seems to have been going on forever with the months just passing by and everyone around me falling pregnant or giving birth!!
