Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

Thanks @CaribouCarafe it’s rubbish isn’t it? Feeling at such a loss as to what else to do. It’s so hard not to get your hopes up every time.
Aaah well if you do, we expect photos 😊

I don’t think that is weird @Lbiddis I think that’s very sweet actually, thank you.
I’m so sorry to hear about your troubles, there’s no such thing as good timing I know but that’s awful timing. Sending love

I’ve nothing to report, really. I’m on another long cycle, currently day 60, and still waiting on the fertility clinic appointment.

How is everyone else doing? X

@CaribouCarafe @LS2020 @Ughmaybenot @mrswilso I hope this doesn’t come across weirdly but I’ve just spent the last 2 hours reading your whole thread. I’m so so sorry for everything you’ve all been through. I am in tears reading your journeys and I just wanted to say I really hope everything works out for you

@mrswilso are you ok? I can’t imagine how hard the past month was. How are you doing?

I’m quite new on here, had an early mc on Christmas Eve but fairly lucky it was all over quickly. The kind people on mumsnet really helped me on Christmas Day just having someone to talk to. Sitting here expecting AF tomorrow, feeling all the usual cramps and just feeling sad about what I lost. Sending thoughts to you all x x

Not sure if people are still posting on here or not but would appreciate someone’s opinion on something:
TTC month 1 (now technically on month 2) tracked cycle using Flo after coming off the pill in November. First AF 15/12/20-21/12/20 so was expecting to ovulate potentially around 28/29th Dec according to Flo - all tests so far have been negative and I was due to start AF 2 days ago. On that day, I had very light spotting in the morning which I thought could potentially be implantation bleeding but then it became more bleeding rather than spotting, but nowhere near as heavy as last month. Last month was pretty heavy for most of the 6 days, whereas this month, I’m only on day 3 and already seemed to be getting a lot of (sorry for tmi) dark brownish blood. Is this just a regular period and last time was heavier due to it being first period off the pill? Sorry if that’s a long post but I know people have different experiences with implantation bleeding and I think I just need to get the idea that it’s implantation bleeding out of my head!!😂

Light Bleeding since 4dpo and still at 6dpo anyone had same???

Oh gosh @Sunbird24 hope the worst of it is short lived!

AF has arrived with a vengeance. I knew it was meant to be heavy after a MC but didn’t realise it would be this bad! 😳

On the positive side, hopefully this means I may be able to do a FET this month...

Oh the limbo is a killer @Busybird123 ! I will keep everything crossed for you.

I’m an idiot. Have got my hopes up again 🤦🏼‍♀️ Currently cd 45, no sign of af (not unusual for me) but I had a day of super light spotting three days ago and now I’ve got it in my head it could’ve been IB. For sure it isn’t but it’s so hard not to get your hopes up!

Lovely to get support here , I'm on cd 21 after a weird 3 day bleed, rang GP and she says its either IB or very early period - like 10 days early. Now i need to wait for the weekend to see will another period come when it was supposed to or test for pregnancy. Being in Limbo land is no fun :-/ ... 2 years TTC #1 :-(

Oh that sucks @Sunbird24 sorry it’s all taking so long!

I’m still waiting for our fertility clinic appointment, and am on day 42 of my current cycle, negative test yesterday morning. So still in no mans land, of sorts.

Still waiting. MC started 27 Nov, passed the embryo 1 Dec, bleeding stopped 3 Dec, had negative pregnancy test by 11 Dec. May have ovulated around 17/18 Dec as I did get spots on my face which is my usual indicator.
Feels vaguely ridiculous to be desperate for AF to show up given all the effort that’s gone into getting pregnant, but she’s the one thing I need before I can start getting ready to try again.

Oh god help!! So today (23rd December) my period is 3 days late but I’ve had a negative test. Tomorrow will make it 34 days since my last period started, a 34 day cycle? Come on, I MUST be pregnant, right?!! I am never this late, the longest I’ve ever gone is a 31 day cycle. And it’s even harder as I’ve lied to my hubby and told him I already got my P as I want it to be a huge, amazing surprise for him when I can finally tell him we are having baby No.2 (he knows we are trying, of course and is absolutely desperate for another baby). So I can’t even share my anxiety with him, I’m just having to internalise everything (I know it will be worth it if I am in fact pregnant and I get to tell him tomorrow on Christmas Eve) but still, it is very hard keeping my excitement and extreme frustration at having a negative test, at bay!! The waiting is so so hard 😭 And I have zero patience. TTC takes over your damn brain!

Hi everyone,

I'm completely new here so now sure I'm even posting in the right place/thread!

Just wanted some advice. TTC for 3 years now (male factory infertility) just been referred for IVF.

I've been taking BBT for the last 2 months. Last month luteal phase was 14 days long, this month I'm currently 17dpo, no sign of AF and temps still above coverline.

Would be so grateful if someone could take a look at my chart and let me know what you think?

Thanks! X

Sorry I've not been around all! Took a few weeks away from MN as things still haven't progressed naturally for me 🥺
I chose to opt out of the MVA that was booked a few weeks back as I couldn't cope with how invasive it all seemed so I'm heading in tomorrow for the pessaries for home management.
Feeling quite apprehensive about it all but keen to get it over and done with before we head into a new year...
Just catching up on what I've missed here - will pop back later 😘 hope everyone's doing okay ❤️

Thank you @CaribouCarafe, there just seem to be so many options I don’t know what to go for! It helps to hear from someone else who’s peeing on things, in the nicest way possible... 😂

Evening all! My miscarriage appears to be finishing, (1st attempt IVF, fresh transfer, MMC) the clinic want to try a FET in Jan/Feb depending on how quickly my cycle gets back on track. It’ll be a natural cycle so I need to know when I ovulate for us to time the transfer to match up. Have you any recommendations for OPKs please?

It’s awful tho isn’t it @CaribouCarafe this weird state of limbo, completely prepared for pregnancy but no idea when it’s actually going to happen. It’s the worst. I’ve everything crossed for you!

@gln1989 tbh I’m the total opposite, to my mind I’d rather just know if it was a negative otherwise I let myself start with all the wishful thinking and then it just makes me even more upset at that damned single line. The result wouldn’t change just from not testing iyswim?
Gosh that all sounds so doom and gloom. Of course I really hope it’s a positive for you, but false hope can be so damaging ime.

Hi ladies,

I hope you don't mind me jumping on. I am currently 15DPO and AF was due today (usually she welcomes me when i wake up :-(

As of yet i have she hasn't come, i would normally have a couple of sharp cramps the day before or the day she is due and i haven't had any of these.

I am so scared to test as i had a BFN at 9dpo and 12dpo but i am normally on time with my cycles so i am holding out for some hope that i could still be in with a chance.

Anyone else get scared to test in fear of the BFN again? Should i hold out another couple of days in case she shows up?

Good luck ladies I'm sending baby dust to all xx

Thanks everyone ☺️
