@alexalexalex18 I hear you. The waiting part is okay for me, it is more the worry something may be wrong.
Let's hope December is the month for both of us!

@ExPatHereForAChat
Last night I dreamt 3 times I was pregnant.
3 tests, all turning positive immediately.
I really hate going through this I have so much anxiety.

There’s some fertility tests that hurt and I really don’t want to go there, like checking if the tubes are not blocked :(
My doctor told me it’s not detectable through regular scans and it can happen due to past untreated colds infections or inflammation.
I’m absolutely terrified.

@brunette1989, sorry wrong tag below!

ExPatHereForAChat · 11/12/2021 11:45

Sorry to hear that @brunette1999. I would do the exact same and say its been 2 years at about the 1 year mark; would hate to get told to "just go home and try for another 6 months."
It's great the first blood test was normal. Has your OH had his sperm checked? We got a cheap amazon lateral flow test that checks sperm is being produced, just for our peace of mind.
DH did it during my AF, when his sperm supply wasn't neededWinkGrin

ExPatHereForAChat · 11/12/2021 11:34

Sorry @waldoyle I know how disappointing it is. I always plan something lovely for the week of AF as my "treat". Last month was a new hair colour, this month will be my Xmas nails. It helps me cope!

I'm about the same @alexalexalex18. 7dpo today and the closer I get to testing the more I'm overthinking it. I had lots of cramps yesterday but nothing today.

alexalexalex18 · 11/12/2021 10:24

Day 8/9 post ovulation here, going cray. Ofc, weekend, I have more time to think about everything.
No symptoms :(
I’m tracking temperature and jt hasn’t dropped, I read it sometimes does that after implantation.

@Cmacq32
How are you holding up?
What’s new?

Still hoping for a miracle.

alexalexalex18 · 11/12/2021 10:11

@Waldoyle @Brunette1989
I’m sorry, ai know exactly how you feel 🄺 Maybe the partner should do some tests as well?

Waldoyle · 11/12/2021 08:55

@frenchie4002 thank you. Maybe I needed that to stop me symptom spotting and getting my hopes up. Best of luck to everyone this month x

frenchie4002 · 11/12/2021 08:35

@Waldoyle sorry to hear that, I was the exact same last month and it is really hard. Hopefully next month is the month for you x

@Brunette1989 it’s so unfair isn’t it, I think you’re doing the right thing going to the drs. It can take a healthy couple 12 months to conceive though so please try not to stress too much. Fingers crossed for Jan! Xxx

Waldoyle · 11/12/2021 07:52

@Brunette1989 its very frustrating when some couples can just look at eachother and get pregnant. Ive been trying 6 months and af arrived this morning.

It'll all be worth it when we get our bfp. Hope you get yours this cycle x

Brunette1989 · 11/12/2021 07:40

Morning all,
I have been on previous posts but missed the last one as I was moving. AF arrived yesterday so I'm back to being gutted again as now 9 months TTC just don't know how it's so easy for some people and so hard for others. I went to the doctors and fobbed said we had been TTC for 2 years. He sent me for 2 blood tests on different parts of the cycle. First 1 came back fine just waiting on the other, just felt like I needed to feel like I was doing something and getting answers if there was something I needed to know.
Think I don't help myself as I built it up in my head that I could have a Christmas miracle and now not.
Sending BFP's to you all xxxx

Waldoyle · 11/12/2021 06:33

Af arrived here this morning, feeling disappointed as I really thought my symptoms the last week were leading to a bfp. Onto the next cycle I go

alexalexalex18 · 10/12/2021 20:09

@ExPatHereForAChat

Fingers crossed! We’ve got this ā™„ļø All of us.

ExPatHereForAChat · 10/12/2021 20:06

@Glago2017 Yey, congratulations, this is a lovely, strong line!

I'm 6DPO and feeling lots of twinges but I think it's just a good case of 2ww symptom spotting.

This 2ww is really dragging by...

Waldoyle · 10/12/2021 16:57

@frenchie4002 thanks. I'll go get more tests for the weekend and if I've no joy by Monday I'll book an appointment with Dr.

frenchie4002 · 10/12/2021 16:20

sorry @Glago2017 the page just updated and I saw your most recent post, congrats!!

frenchie4002 · 10/12/2021 16:19

@Waldoyle yeah that's weird, going by those symptoms I'd have thought you'd have a positive by now! If there's still no second line by the start of next week maybe try the drs for a blood test?

@Glago2017 I can see a line but not sure if it's indent/evap, I literally never had any hint of a line on those tests until I was actually pregnant so could be a positive!? try again tomorrow/ Sunday xx

Glago2017 · 10/12/2021 15:54

@decaffe I have a tshirt my dd could put on saying 'big sister' (overly prepared 🤣) still doesn't feel real as don't feel any different. 😁 x

Glago2017 · 10/12/2021 15:50

@tor88 this is only our 2nd cycle properly trying so feeling very lucky. X

Decaffe · 10/12/2021 15:11

🄰🄰🄰 @Glago2017 how lovely!

How are you planning to tell your DP/DH? Sometimes I daydream about how I would tell mine… Blush

Waldoyle · 10/12/2021 15:10

@Glago2017 huge congratulations and best wishes ā¤

Tor88 · 10/12/2021 15:02

Ahh congratulations @Glago2017!! So exciting!! How many cycles did it take you could I ask???

Glago2017 · 10/12/2021 14:46

@Decaffe thank you so much, I wouldn't have know if it wasn't for u telling me and would still be wondering. 🄰
@alexalexalex18 nothing major. I did have a little more cm than normal but not hugely different, didn't have sore boobs which I usually do. However looking back I defo had/had brain fog. I was forgetting things and saying the wrong thing when I meant something else etc. Don't know if that is related but I'm saying it is. 🤣🤣
