TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

I’m in the same boat girls. Did a test this morning and it was a BFN, I’m 9dpo today. Soooo disappointing! Also I’ve started having af type cramps now so I think I’m out. I really thought we did it this month, I had all the symptoms! :( so unfair xx

I did too today at 10dpo and negative, i think i would have had a positive by now if i was pregnant so another month gone down the drain...

I did a FRER this morning at 9dpo and bright white negative. I know it's too early really but I can't help but feel disappointed.

@Kitchiekobo thank you lovely. I’ve accepted in my heart this is a chemical.. bfn again this morning so I’m going to enjoy my weekend and spend time with loved ones and friends and even have a couple drinks because I think I deserve it after the last few days!!!

that’s a really positive message to read! Dancing all over the ovulation period so massive baby dust to you!

Massive congratulations @Lulux33 & @MrsUSAinUK amazing news!

Sorry you’re going through this @Hjudge56 wish I could give you a big hug!

After having all those weird symptoms and thinking I had ovulated shortly after stopping the pill, and then that stopping with negative tests. I was just waiting for AF to arrive.

However, the day AF was due, I definitely ovulated! Turns out, the ‘symptoms’ I had were my body reacting to the lack of pill. (Spoke to pjs of the docs at work). Luckily for me, I had been doing a lot of dancing thinking AF was to arrive any minute, so I’m hoping for the best still!

TWW, continues 🤣🤣 x

@MrsGrealish thank you so much.. it’s just the worst when you’re usually so regular!

i think I’m 95% certain this is a chemical but then there’s 5% of me that’s unsure because I’m having lots of early pregnancy symptoms and I’ve read that it’s unusual to continue to have those symptoms if you’re miscarrying. But my boobs are so sore and swollen, I keep feeling sick, I’m cramping and I’m so tired! I think feeling rubbish just doesn’t help at all does it :(

@Hjudge56 I feel for you so much. My period was 2 weeks late once. I did a positive clearblue ultra early and my DH who is the biggest doubter of lines saw it and said it was positive. The next day nothing. Negative tests. I have no idea what went on that time but honestly I was losing my mind. My period arrived 2 weeks later and it's been regular every since. Sending you a massive online hug xx

@RMS0209 I will no doubt start with the cheapies at the weekend, can't help it. Will do a FRER at 10dpo and then take it from there. I've had squinters on cheapies at 9dpo before.
I'm taking the progesterone at the moment which has made me really crampy in the past and this month is no different. Feeling really inpatient this month which is not like me.

@Kitty901 yesh I think if I didn’t have those positives the other day I’d feel more hopeful but I think they’ve made it clear that im going through a chemical. I keep feeling like AF is coming one minute then no feelings down there the next. Nothing excruciating which is good news but I’m very worried something really isn’t right… I’m just never late and never wanted AF to come so much in my life

@Hjudge56 sorry to hear you are having such a tough time. The waiting and not knowing is the hardest part. Fingers crossed you will know either way soon.

@MrsUSAinUK huge congratulations to you that is a very strong line! I hope it is the start of a trend of all of us!

@alwaysseeingstarsI feel tired and not as hungry as normal but I would feel like this coming up to my period anyway. I almost tested today but stopped. Only 10DPO so too early yet! How are you doing?

@RMS0209 you are not out by any means, loads of reports of people conceiving on the months they weren't trying and only did it once. Best of luck!

@Mc3209 thank you for your kind words ❤️ A few people have said to me that they didnt get BFP until way after AF! And I mean it’s soooooo unusual for me to be late. But I had 3 faint positive on cheapie 2 days ago and since nothing so my heart is telling me I could be going through a chemical :(

but I guess we’ll know over the next few days

@Hjudge56 it must have something to do with the positive tests you had the other day, you probably just want this to be over now. I hope it turns out positive for you in the end, fingers crossed you have been through so much this cycle it is awful. Xx

@Hjudge56 I'm really not sure about what DPO I am as I wasn't tracking ovulation and still haven't had a proper period since stopping the pill, but judging by CM it should be imminent AF territory.
I'm sorry your body is playing tricks. Big hugs.

With my first, I only got BFP on 15-16DPO. Was uneventful pregnancy thereafter. So technically you are not out until AF shows.

@Kitty901 nope! Honestly nothing different this cycle!

I’ve actually just been sick too. Literally stood up and had a huge amount of nausea build up and ran to the loo and was sick! God knows what that means! Feeling a bit worried about my body niw

@Hjudge56 that is very annoying! Did you take any medicines this cycle that could have delayed it?😕 i am 9dpo today and sure my AF is on the way.

Another day of no AF ladies! 3/4 days late and twinges down there but no AF!

this is getting very tedious now… tired of the BFN’s and delay in starting a new cycle 😔 I’ve got no hope left for a BFP this month because I’m so over the AF mark

@RMS0209 we are in sync this month I'm 5dpo too. What day are you testing and what are you using?! I tested yesterday with a cheapie I couldn't help it haha. Obviously BFN.
As for not DTD on ovulation day. When I got pregnant the second time we DTD leading up to it with the last time being on the Monday (peak). I went for an internal scan on Tuesday night and and they said I was going to ovulate in the next 24-48hours from the follicles they could see. DH refused to do it again and I cried. Still got my BFP that month!!

@Mc3209 sorry about BFN! How many DPO are you?

@Mc3209 sorry about the bfn. I'm exactly the same was totally convinced it had worked last month too

@Mc3209 sorry about the BFN, hopefully you manage to get a good understanding of your cycle with the OPK's! 😊

So happy to see all BFPs!! Congratulations to you, ladies! 🥰

I had yet another BFN yesterday. Not even a squinter. Onwards and upwards, I guess.

I am terrible for symptom spotting. If I really get into it, I can convince myself I am pregnant even before DH gets a twinkle in his eye 🤣 nausea, exhaustion, insomnia, the works 🤣 All magically resolve after couple of BFNs.

I am working late today, so no dancing for me until the weekend realistically. Got some ovulation sticks arriving in the post today, will try to monitor the sitch a bit more closely.

@RMS0209 I read an article yesterday that said the best thing was having sperm in the tubes waiting to meet the egg ;) So surely you'd have had an army of soldiers ready doing all the days in the lead up 😂Have my fingers crossed for you for this month! It seems a bit cruel for you to have had only one cycle in the time many of us have had two, so hopefully your body is doing all the right things and just taking it's time to get it right. Really hoping over the next couple of months that everyone gets their BFP!
