Hello, I'm new to this page so please go easy on me.
I'm Leanne, I'm 29 and been TTC for almost 9 years (2 different partners, at different times obviously lol). About 6 years ago after numerous tests, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, but apart from that, nothing is stopping me from getting pregnant that they could find. Been with current partner over 3 years, neither of us had any children and we have never full on TTC as before it didnt do good with mental health and OH didnt want me getting like that, but we have never not tried either.

Right now I've got past the boring stuff about me, I will tell you what's going on right now.

So, basically, I am now days late. AF was due on the 8th. Due to my endo, I have missed full months before and my cycles can be all over the place but I'd say the last time I actually missed a month was over a year ago.

No I haven't tested yet, as we dont want to get hopes up too much but have agreed we shall test on Friday if AF dont show by then. We are both off Friday so I have a full day to come to terms with whatever the result will be! (Plus we both work in a shop and Thursday night will be the only time we can pick up a test without any work colleagues seeing).

Here's my symptoms and I also have reasons as to why I could be getting them too, I've questioned myself so much recently. (sorry if TMI)..
• slight spotting (was more like old blood and the probably a little bit no bigger than a pea in my underwear, nothing on toilet paper)
• sooo tired
• I'm really (sorry) wet. Like I keep thinking I've come on yet it's more like I've wet myself (defo havent haha)
• nausea and really watery mouth like I'm going to throw up
• I did have really sore boobs where they felt bruised but now it's just my nipples that are sore
• I literally cannot stand the smell or taste of chocolate, and chocolate is usually my biggest downfall of all time but no easter eggs for me this year!!!
• and obviously NO AF!!!

I'm so sorry for the long winded post and I appreciate anyone who is still here after it haha. Is it just my symptoms and no af that's playing with my mind? Could it just be the stress and worry of what's happening around the world right now that's on my mind causing my body to act like it is? And wow can I ramble on Haha. Thanks everyone 😊

So there is a chance you may have ovulated later?

LAG1986 · 25/04/2020 19:03

Leanne I’m sorry to read this, I was thinking about you and only hoping it would be for you. 💐

Leanne0215 · 24/04/2020 20:21

When was the last time you dtd? Maybe you ovulated late and its to early to test!?

Leanne0215 · 24/04/2020 18:13

Is effected my oh more than he is letting on too. Hes always been one of those 'itll happen when it happens' kind of people but I've caught him crying twice now. I just feel like such a let down and failure. There's so much bad news in our families at the minute and this would have been the perfect thing to cheer everyone up and give everyone that push. For 9 years I've wanted nothing more than to be a mummy and after this, I know for certain it wont ever happen. Even had a mini breakdown at work today when a customer came in with her newborn baby (bit stupid considering what's happening at the moment but shes not the first). I really did think this was our time 😭😭😭

And I have a bottle of prosecco for tonight, we actually brought it for oh's mum and dad when we delivered them the news they've long been waiting for 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

Spotting is very normal in pregnancy btw so don't worry too much about that! Got my fingers crossed for you, can't wait to hear the results!

jazzibelle · 23/04/2020 20:40

@Leanne0215 I've been checking back on this post for updates and just want to say that I'll be thinking of you for tomorrow. Whatever the result is: be kind to yourself, and know it will be ok Flowers. I think I speak for everyone when I say we're all rooting for you here!

Leanne0215 · 23/04/2020 20:13

LAG1986 · 23/04/2020 17:20

@Leanne0215 even I'm excited after reading this and it's not me!!! Haha. I so hope you get a positive result. Will be back in morning to check. Sending tons of good luck to you. Xx

Leanne0215 · 23/04/2020 17:12

WE HAVE A TEST!!!
Will do it in the morning, had to get a clear blue one as that's all that came on the delivery xxx

Leanne0215 · 22/04/2020 22:40

I'm so hoping we get a delivery of tests in tomorrow! If not it means queuing for hours outside a chemist or the bigger supermarket near us.

The bleed last night has really confused me. I've never had anything like that before, but if it was implantation, surely that would have happened already with me being 2 weeks late?? Xxx

All sounds hopeful - good luck! Not long to go now until you test.

Hotpinkangel19 · 22/04/2020 21:55

Sounds possible. Good luck!

HelloTerrance · 22/04/2020 21:52

They sound like my early symptoms. Wishing you so much luck!

ShinyBadger · 22/04/2020 21:49

I would say you sound like you possibly could be, how amazing if you are.
Good luck x

Leanne0215 · 22/04/2020 20:10

I've had nothing since. Our shop hasn't any tests left at all!!!!! Hope we get a delivery tomorrow xxx
