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! 😊

@ImpatientMama me too! Now I know how excited he was at the prospect of me actually being pregnant I'll definitely become more active with tracking etc!

ImpatientMama · 20/01/2021 00:08

@Marvellouslymadmum I completely understand. Haha. I am glad your partner is so enthusiastic!

@ImpatientMama I don't think I am to be honest but you know what it's like, there's always a little hope and if not back to trying again with a more enthusiastic partner haha

Yes it was a good appointment feel like I am getting somewhere! I don’t another test yesterday got a bfn I done one as I had my Covid vaccine so wanted to double check I wasn’t pregnant for that
We all need to keep trying and try to remain positive and stress free... even though it’s easier said than done! 🤞🏻X

HJen22 · 19/01/2021 19:30

@HT1335 it sounds like you had a positive experience with the nurse today and I'm really glad to hear that the doctor is taking steps and has arranged all the tests. Do you feel a little better for going?

@KES22 I know, it gets to the point when you just want AF to come and get onto the next cycle. I've managed to hold it together a little bit better this month on the arrival of AF, just need to keep trying x

ImpatientMama · 19/01/2021 19:13

@HT1335 glad they did all that. Hopefully it will provide some answers!
Boy it would be wonderful if you are pregnant @Marvellouslymadmum! But I guess it would be best to go into it thinking you aren't just in case. Hoping you get some answers!

@HT1335 that's really good, when I spoke to the doctor yesterday she just assumed pregnancy would be the main likely reason for af being Mia which kind of gives me a snippet of hope still but the one positive to come out of this is that my dp got very very excited when he thought I could be even though he's been up and down with it in the past so that's good

HT1335 · 19/01/2021 18:11

@Marvellouslymadmum yes I feel a bit more relaxed now, the nurse said that it can take time etc so I’ll wait and see what results come back..
I hope everyone else is doing ok and trying to stay positive x

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/01/2021 18:08

I don't mean I hope the sti's they were all clear anyway and would be again I just mean everything lol 😂

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/01/2021 18:07

@HT1335 that's good that they're checking for everything! I had a thorough check up after my mc including all sti's and everything! Which was all fine so I'm hoping that's all still the same

HT1335 · 19/01/2021 16:37

It’s very frustrating I’ve just been to my nurse appt she said the doctor has requested every hormone blood for me and gave me a vaginal swab to do, then said I will possibly need my cervix examined so had a thorough check thankfully.. just a wait to see what happens with the results etc now x

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/01/2021 13:40

Thanks @HJen22 it's frustrating having to keep waiting but at least I'll hopefully get some answers soon!

KES22 · 19/01/2021 13:33

Thanks @HT1335 and @ImpatientMama, hopefully it is just a very late cycle, although I am on CD 45 now and still no sign so it’s well beyond a late period even if my cycle was 35 days 😞 I just want AF to arrive so I know where I’m at and we can try again...x

ImpatientMama · 19/01/2021 13:26

@KES22, I agree with @HJen22! I ovulated late this cycle, so I am expecting my cycle to be around 35 days instead of around 30, which is my average. I wish ttc didn't have so much waiting involved! It is very frustrating.

HJen22 · 19/01/2021 13:12

@HT1335 @Marvellouslymadmum I hope you ladies get on good with your appointments and tests, and get some answers 🤞🏻 not fun having to wait even longer for results.

@KES22 I'm sorry, BFN tests are just the worst aren't they 😔 could you have ovulated later? The month I had a really long cycle I didn't track so figured I'd ovulated late x

ImpatientMama · 19/01/2021 13:07

Good luck with your tests @Marvellouslymadmum and @HT1335! Hope you all get some answers!

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/01/2021 12:51

@HT1335 the waiting is driving me crazy now! Yes I'm Planning on trying to do the same lol

HT1335 · 19/01/2021 11:41

@Marvellouslymadmum thanks! Good luck with yours too, then another waiting game for us!
I’m going to try ask some more questions in my appt today with the nurse x

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/01/2021 10:31

@HT1335 good luck! My gp is just taking bloods for now, she's said she will look into something else if the bloods come back ok!

HT1335 · 19/01/2021 10:07

I’ve got my bloods today at 4pm, have to do a vaginal swab and then ring to discuss the gp said about them possibly examining me too
They ideally wanted my bloods on cd21 but as I’m not having regular periods they’ve decided to do them today so when I go for bloods I’ll ask more questions 🤞🏻🤞🏻X

Marvellouslymadmum · 18/01/2021 22:25

@HT1335 🤞🏻 you get some answers!! I've got to wait another week for my blood test then another week for the results so it's like the tww all over again 😂 please let us know how you get on

HT1335 · 18/01/2021 20:52

I’m now cd53 bfn again this morn, a little spotting 2 days ago and no AF I have appt tmorow for bloods and gp telephone call so I’m going to stress my concerns and how worried I am
I hope we all get some answers soon x

Marvellouslymadmum · 18/01/2021 20:42

It's so frustrating not knowing isn't it @KES22 and because the doc isn't in any hurry to do these tests it's made me even more impatient to know what's going on!!

KES22 · 18/01/2021 19:38

Still no sign of AF for me...CD44 now; Did a CB test yesterday and another BFN but I already knew really!
Very anxious that there’s something wrong but I guess not a lot I can do but wait and see 😔

Marvellouslymadmum · 18/01/2021 18:47

Hi all how are we? So I got impatient today, I'm now CD49 so about 20 days or three weeks late! I took my other first response just to make sure but same old bfn, so I called the docs and she was quite surprised I've had negative tests and has booked me in for bloods next week to check hcg and for early menopause just in case but she doesn't think it'll be that. She also said she's not worried, blood test isn't until next Tuesday (more waiting) and results will be a week later (even more waiting!!) by then af will be due again!

The only other thing I did think is maybe I could've had a chemical at the beginning of December and that's messed up everything else!
