Hello! We are trying for our second child and I am frustrated. I am sure several of you can relate to being frustrated with this whole TTC thing. 😅 Anyways. AF was due 3 days ago and has not shown her ugly face yet. But I have also gotten nothing but negatives (and one invalid). I was planning on not testing again until AF is a week late. Anyone get their BFP that late or even later? I am irregular, so it could just be a late period? I just want to know if I really am pregnant or not, so I can move on! Thanks for any insight you all provide! 😊

@HJen22 so sorry about this! When I had my coil removed before last baby I had constant bleeding due to worry about cer cancer as my nanna died of this and mums had abnormal cells they sent me for a colposcopy but everything was perfect! I was also ttc at the time , please try not to worry and take day at a time?! Where are you in current cycle? I'm 6 days to at but isolating as partner and children all tested positive so won't be getting any tests only have cheapo so will wait till late or couple days before xd

Hello ladies, happy Saturday. How are you all? I am so sorry for those of you still in limbo with long cycles, I really hope it results in some BFPs 🤞🏻

Haven't had a great time recently, queue meltdown #187 of TTC. To cut a long story short I have had a letter for a colposcopy after abnormal cells. Panicked this was what was stopping us conceiving, I was really ill, it would delay us trying. Decided to carry on as normal, should get app in the next 8 weeks. I read online you can still have done even if I did fall PG, and if I did need treatment it could wait til after as the chances of cells changing in that time were little. Haven't asked the dr as I'm sure they'd advise to wait. Also freaked out reading somewhere they can say wait 6 months after any treatment before TTC but then somewhere else a month! The thought of not being able to try for potentially 8 months after trying for the last 10 was what upset me the most!

Onwards and upwards though, am trying to not worry about it, don't need the added stress! X

Marvellouslymadmum · 08/01/2021 16:58

I guess it's just a waiting game for all of us really! @lastbany fingers crossed for you!

lastbany · 08/01/2021 16:54

@HT1335 ah no! I feel blessed that uptp now I've had 2 "normal" cycles as it's awful not knowing! @Marvellouslymadmum I know I didn't think so when someone said to me! I was sore sonething was wrong eg late fertilisable etc but the fact your late with a net test means you prob are stressed but just don't feel it , why can't videos ve straight forward hey!

So we are all in isolation as my partner and two kids tested positive however I tested negative!! Only symptoms we all have is extreme tiredness I now said to my partner well if it's not covid could it be a baby???? I am shattered to pour. Can't open eyes!

Marvellouslymadmum · 08/01/2021 16:13

@HT1335 sorry to hear that, I'm a few days behind you on cd39 and still nothing for me either, I'm trying to hold out until wed to test again which will be cd 44 and I'll be calling gp after that! Hope you get some answers soon

HT1335 · 08/01/2021 14:28

Good luck to everyone else 🤞🏻

HT1335 · 08/01/2021 14:27

I have tested today, another disappointing bfn and I’m now day 43 of my cycle with no sign of AF so I’m baffled 😕 also can’t get thru to the doctors as they are really busy with the Covid vaccinations so I don’t know what’s going on. I will try the gp surgery again next week when all the Covid stuff calms down a little

Marvellouslymadmum · 08/01/2021 14:14

@lastbany I'm not stressed tbh I never really get stressed so I've no idea what's going on! I'm still hoping for a late bfp - you never know right?!

lastbany · 08/01/2021 13:31

@Marvellouslymadmum this was me couple months ago! Relax and af will come and you can try again! It's stress it stops it I have been using purely old fashioned have sex when wabt! So hoping will work this time x

Marvellouslymadmum · 08/01/2021 13:20

@lastbany fingers crossed for you! I'm 10 days late for af now and still no sign but hey ho trying to stay positive

lastbany · 08/01/2021 12:17

I am due af in 7 days!

Marvellouslymadmum · 08/01/2021 12:01

How is everyone doing now? Any news good or bad?

Marvellouslymadmum · 06/01/2021 13:17

@HT1335 yes it's so expensive! I had been taking my bbt but with all the Christmas stuff going on I forgot a few days right after ovulation was due so then decided to leave it for the rest of the month! Typical, not that I could tell that well what was going on from it anyway haha I'll have to get some ovulation tests as well and see if that helps. I hope you do too! As they say we are not out until af arrives Smile

HT1335 · 06/01/2021 13:11

@Marvellouslymadmum oh thanks that’s good to know! I’ll maybe test again at the wkend and see what happens from there. It sure is expensive business. Next month I will test for ovulation so I get a clearer idea of what’s going on... hopefully anyways! And that sounds a good plan for you I hope you get your BFP!

Marvellouslymadmum · 06/01/2021 13:07

@HT1335 I've done a bit of Googling Hmm lol but found out more about late ovulation etc and although I'm generally pretty regular apparently it doesn't always mean anything if you have a none regular month. It does say that if you ovulate late then your af will be later so I'm hoping it's that and I'm still in the running for bfp or just a very late af. I'm going to wait until payday (a whole week away!) and if still no af I'll test again then if still negative I'll contact gp that's the plan anyway!

HT1335 · 06/01/2021 13:02

@Marvellouslymadmum I really don’t know I would maybe ring your doctor for advice I am in the same boat I am cd 41 no AF and no spotting I don’t a test at the wkend if I do another it will be negative so I don’t know what to do either

Marvellouslymadmum · 06/01/2021 11:08

Well I caved this morning and tested again with fmu and still a bfn! Why did I cave? I still had hope and now I just feel deflated I am now 8 days late from when app predicted af and cd 37 never been this late and there's no sign of af at all but I'm bloated and nauseous having dizzy spells and have an achy back Hmm what on earth do I do now?!

Marvellouslymadmum · 05/01/2021 12:55

@ImpatientMama my oh would have a nightmare if he knew about all the testing lol this is nice, somewhere to vent and chat without judgement! @Emc16x sorry to hear about af - she's a taunting minx, wishing you luck for your fertility app though!

HT1335 · 05/01/2021 12:53

@Emc16x aww I’m sorry but at least you know what’s happening for this cycle and yes you’ve got your appointment to go find some answers and hopefully they can provide you with the correct treatment, all the best for your appointment

Emc16x · 05/01/2021 12:50

@HT1335 @ImpatientMama glad I didn’t waste money on yet another test as I’ve just been paid a visit by AF Can’t believe it. Really thought it had happened this time around!! Bring on my fertility appointment at the end of the month. Need answers!! X

ImpatientMama · 05/01/2021 12:49

@Marvellouslymadmum I am so glad I started this thread. It has been such a great support system. I really don't talk to my spouse about the tests, both opks and pregnancy. He would think I was crazy how many pregnancy tests I've taken. Haha. That is why coming here is so great.

Marvellouslymadmum · 05/01/2021 12:20

@HT1335 no it's not! My partner gets so stressed with it all I try not to talk to him about it too much lol, I read this whole thread yesterday and it did calm me quite a lot, it helps knowing I'm not on my own!

HT1335 · 05/01/2021 12:14

@Marvellouslymadmum yes this group is so supportive and helpful! It’s nit really a subject you can go round discussing with everyone is it

Marvellouslymadmum · 05/01/2021 12:05

@HT1335 thank you, this is the only thing keeping me from going crazy at the moment knowing that others have had the same thing! 😂

HT1335 · 05/01/2021 12:03

@Marvellouslymadmum aww thanks I will keep the group updated good luck to you too.
And I hope everyone else is doing ok?
