TTC again end of Feb beginning of March

Congratulations! I think sometimes you want something so much that when it does happen, your mind can’t believe it. Hence the numb feeling. I’m only on CD3 and already wishing this week away so I can start tracking ovulation next week. It’s very sad I know that I’m wishing my life away!

@Beckyc23 heres hoping none of us get a visit from AF this weekend. Im not tempted to test because I fear the disappointment too much (I always wait until Im a few days late) I've never wanted those achey boobs back so much! 😂🤞🏼 xx

@JJ2023 congratulations! I know it’s hard to process the news… it could be old implementation bleeding. Wishing the best outcome for you 💕

@Infinitebows / @EllieBelly93 - I am really trying not to symptom spot as it’s so early for me but I’ve got a bit of a runny nose, heavy/sore boobs, feel a bit sick and had tingles… all could all be period related or I’m not well but you cant help to hope that it’s the thing you are wishing for. All very similar symptoms to my previous early loss so also very anxious.

Really trying not the test before the weekend when AF is due but I’m tempted with every morning wee 🤣

I need serious help to keep me sane this week

Thanks everyone for responding when I shared my 8 DPO test yesterday. Today it’s so much clearer and clearblue has confirmed it too. AF was due tomorrow.

Today I have a small amount of brownish/light pink spotting which makes me nervous. I previously had the same when I conceived last time, it was also a small amount when wiping but then stopped, but a week or so after that I had an early loss.

So basically I’m pregnant but I just feel numb 🥺

@EllieBelly93
It could still happen though - I have my fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't come tomorrow. It's a cruel game this TTC business. Have you been trying long? Xxx

@Infinitebows I’m with you, constantly hoping and praying for a sticky little bean. AF due tomorrow but I’m not feeling so positive as my BBT is low this morning which usually happens before AF makes an appearance. It’s also torture as since we’ve been trying I’ve had sore/sensitive boobs for around a week before AF/ a week after ovulation so it gives me hope then AF comes along 🙄 xxx

Think no luck this month again 😭

AF is due tomorrow and my BBT has dropped today to 36.40 since ovulation I’ve been 36.50-68 :( drop in temp usually means not enough progesterone and AF is on her way xx

Morning everyone.

Just wondering is anyone else just constantly waiting for the symptoms to kick in before testing in the hope it's a sticky little bean? I am! 2 MC's this last year so know exactly what to expect and every time in the waiting zone (doesn't it all just feel like such a long ass waiting zone!) im just waiting for the tender boobs, vivid dreams, constipation and tugging feeling in the lower tummy to give me an idea. Not got a good feeling for this month for me I'm sure - AF due this weekend I think. Thinking of you all because this is such a difficult time when you're desperate for a baby. 💕

Thanks @madeofcodes and @EllieBelly93 I’ll keep everyone updated!

@EllieBelly93 natural cycles usually gets my period dates spot on or within a couple of days, but I guess it just depends on how regular you are etc. It’s so difficult to not test especially when you get super close to the AF due date! I am probably not the best person for this advice seeing as I have tested two days before AF due 😂

Hi, TTC came off the pill at the start of November. Period is 2 days late. 5 dpo in the evening I came over really sick feeling and then was sick I also had a bad tummy. Has anyone experienced this around implantation time?

I feel sick today and so hot also having vivid dreams and today nipples are tender, I’ve taken two pregnancy tests. 1 clear blue ultra early and one cheap one both negative! Feel like I’m imagining symptoms because I want to be pregnant

I’m in my TWW a trying sooo hard to stay chill but I’m so excited/nervous to test. Every month I say I won’t test early but it’s sooo hard not to.
My periods seem to be a bit longer than usual as AF always arrived CD 27/28. But last month I was 12 days late. This month I ovulated CD18 and natural cycles is telling me period would be due 8th of March. I’m thinking that’s a really short time from ovulation what do you all think? Should I test on the 8th or wait to be a few days late? 🙏🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼

@JJ2023 i also see a faint line praying it’s a positive for you - let us know 🤞🏼

I see a faint line there. Give yourself a couple of days and test again ❤️

@Beckyc23 thanks for responding, appreciate it! I’m going to wait and test again on Weds when AF due (if it doesn’t arrive) and for now not getting ahead of myself and just telling myself it’s an indent.

It really is so difficult to hold out and not test isn’t it! Keep us updated x

@JJ2023 - I can see a bit of a faint line 🤞🏼 maybe try to wait a few days before testing again? (If you can!)

I know exactly how you feel, I’m also now officially in period week so trying my hardest not to test before Sunday but we will see.

Hi, haven’t commented much since my original post in this thread as I’ve just felt nervous since my early loss. I’m 8 or 9 DPO and have done exactly what i said I wouldn’t do as I had a sudden urge to POAS. AF is use between Weds-Fri this week.

What do you think of this? Came up within time frame but I’m thinking just a shadow! I know it is so so early and I’m kicking myself for even doing this

Sorry about your loss. The body is a funny thing. Even when you don’t realise it, you’ll be under immense stress with it being at the back of your mind. Was there any reason when you were younger that you didn’t have AF for months?

Keeping busy seems to help a lot but then I’ve had close friends announce pregnancies recently and I smile and say all the right things but it’s hard not to compare and think when’s it my turn? I suppose you get to know your body more and notice every little change being so aware of ttc.

I became very anxious and emotional every time AF arrived. I have remained fairly composed the last couple of cycles.

It can be anywhere in between 27-32 days. No rhyme or reason to it. However it is a lot better than I used to be. When I was younger before having my first and going on the pill I could go months without a period.

When I came off the pill last year I conceived within 6 weeks. That unfortunately ended in miscarriage. My periods then went to 27-32 days since. I was in a lot of pain each month. Someone recommended conceive ovulation plus tablets. Periods are now much less painful and lighter. I seem to ovulate earlier than I used. I get ovulation symptoms around CD16 instead of CD18-20. If I have a shorter cycle the next month will almost certainly be longer… my body’s cruel way of playing games with me!

@B93 This will be month 7. From summer up until Christmas, it was all very carefree and not a chore. But since January, it’s been anxiety ridden as it’s not happening. Are your cycles always 32 days? Mine seem to be 30 but every few months it can range from 29-34.

@DiamondApricot still hope then… maybe you ovulated later? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am on CD19…. just got to wait another trillion days to test 🙏🏻

@Dreamer88 how long have you been TTC?

New here. Wanting to join. Just got AF today. Each month passes and trying to remain positive. Starting to think I’ve left it late to start trying at 34. (Life got in the way).

@B93 I'm just confused, no sign of AF, positive test this afternoon 🤔
Which cycle day are you on?

@DiamondApricot hope you are ok? Fingers crossed for next cycle 🤞🏼

@Beckyc23 I have been trying to be good and not test. However I have 27-32 day cycles. So I get to day 30-32 and test 🙃

BFN for me, onto the next cycle, good luck to everyone still standing!

Fingers crossed and good luck @DiamondApricot @B93

So I’m really not sure when AF is meant to arrive! I’m usually a 28/29 cycle girl but recently had a miscarriage/surgery in January so this is my first cycle since then.

I didn’t ovulate until cycle day 18 so I’m not sure if AF is meant to arrive on the 12th or later. Really hoping that it won’t arrive at all but don’t want to get ahead if I’m just going have a longer cycle.

Anyway baby dust to everyone 🤞🏼
