Missing period! Stuck in limbo

Hi everyone just wanting some advice or experience. Ttc #3 last period was 19.12.2020 so was due on around 20th January. That has come and gone and still nothing. Negative tests obviously. Always been regular have missed the odd one before. Have also been using opks but there still all fairly light so nothing happening on that front. Just feel like I'm stuck in limbo. No ovulation happening up to now and no period. What do people do in this situation?! Just keep DTD? Or is it pointless with negative opks all the time. Soo frustrating. I'm now cd 49 roughly. Confused driving myself mad testing all the time . Why does ttc make us go so crazy??!! Grin

Hi Ladies, hope you don't mind me joining this post. I was due AF on 11th April, but she's still not arrived I am going out of my mind, I've done 5 tests so far and all have been BFN's. We have been TTC since Sept 19, fell pregnant after 9 months (first pregnancy) in June 20 but ended in MMC in Sept 20. Ive been doing ovulation testing and had my peak ovulation on 27th March. I've been feeling nausea, tender nipples, constipated and just generally tired but I'm not convinced I am pregnant if I am truthful and I don't trust my body anyway after it not realised I'd had a miscarriage for 4 weeks. Hmm xx

Skl2021 · 13/04/2021 20:24

@Crazydoglady123 that's positive then? 🤞 Sorry I don't really know what happens when you have IVF. But the cyst situation seems good! Glad your finally getting the ball rolling! I'm doing ok. I'm 9 dpo today. I gave in and tested today bfn. Which I expected don't know why I even tested as it's too early. Really dragging now it's all I can think about. So close yet so far! One minute I'm hopeful next I'm not. Such a rollercoaster 🤦 x

@Skl2021 I had it today. My lining is too thick as I haven't bled but it looked like it's breaking down so hopefully my bleed is imminent! Also there appeared to be a cyst/follicle still around 4. something cm. On my previous scan I had two large follicles around 5cm each and a haemorraghic cyst at 5.7cm but this on the screen looked a different consistency to the cyst previously so they think it could be a collapsed follicle 🤞 Repeat baseline scan booked for Monday and stim scans booked in for the following week so I'm only 6 days delayed. How are you doing?

Skl2021 · 13/04/2021 20:12

@Crazydoglady123 how are you doing? Have u had your scan yet? X
@Sparkles512 hope your doing well in your pregnancy xx

@Skl2021Thank you so much 😊

Well my husband was impatient and wanted me to test so it was 12DPO and I've had cramping and nausea for the last 4 days!

Skl2021 · 03/04/2021 21:06

@Skl2021 ooh how exciting! Get DTD!

I got my BFP yesterday 😀

Don't want to get my hopes up too soon but very excited. DH wants to tell everyone immediately but I've told him we have to wait a few more weeks.

Skl2021 · 03/04/2021 20:00

Thank you @Skl2021. It's so up in the air still but first injection tomorrow so at least "something" is happening. Just to pray that my next scan in two weeks time my cysts and follicles have gone and my ovaries are nice and quiet to start 🤞

Skl2021 · 31/03/2021 21:39

@Crazydoglady123 I can't even imagine the rollercoaster your going through. I'm so glad he understands you and didn't delay things for you! I hope whatever you try brings some positive news. I have everything crossed for you. Keep positive you will get there!! X

OP posts:
Crazydoglady123 · 31/03/2021 21:26

Everything crossed for you @Sparkles512 and hope you ovulate soon @Skl2021 🤞🤞

Crazydoglady123 · 31/03/2021 21:25

So had my scan this morn and I have apparently ovulated since Saturdays scan as 3 are gone but I have two follicles left which are 4-5cm each and also a 6cm haemorrhagic cyst. I’ve got lots of blood and fluid again in my uterus and pouch of douglas. He said after he doesn’t want to start my IVF yet but I got really upset and he came and gave me a hug which is sweet of him. He understood how I felt delaying things and deliberated over a few different treatments protocols. He was thinking to start with not down regging me and just starting me off on stims when on my next bleed or whether to wait two weeks then start as we’d originally planned. Any how, he’s decided I’m going to start buserelin tomorrow and have a scan in 2-3 weeks. I don’t fully understand if that’s then stims after if all good and if it isn’t what happens then but at least it’s starting something

Skl2021 · 31/03/2021 21:19

@Sparkles512 you have more control than me 🤣 mine would be ordered now 🤦 I can't wait to be in the tww so I can relax 😁 need ovulation to hurry up!
