no af currently 4th day late bfn on Saturday haven’t retested, had some more browny red coloured cm yesterday. i’ve woken up this morning with my left side of my stomach feeling bruised (as if someone’s kicked/punched me all night!) and the pain worsens when coughing or moving :/

Every negative test, I buy a baby item, i’ve found it helps with the disappointment.. ish😂

i haven’t felt mine either! im so confused I don’t even know if I should count mine as a period? was meant to start af friday just gone but i’ve mainly had coloured cm (pink or brown). have only had fresh blood when wiping on thursday morning and yesterday evening. today has been nothing :0

Bubs94 · 22/02/2026 16:55

@MamaB12 i know my rational brain says this but then I look at booking different things and i just end up holding off ‘to see’ 😂

It’s jus so deflating isn’t it @Starryxx @MamaB12 i keep telling myself ‘ur not out yet’ and it still could be etc but deep down I know that’s me into another cycle of trying, it’s exhausting! How long is everyone trying for now? We started in Sept, took a break the month of Dec just with a lot on. I feel like I put all plans on hold ‘just incase’ like we haven’t booked any holidays or trips at all just incase I might be pregnant/due/ too far on to travel etc I feel like I’m so tired of it all!

we’ve been trying 10 months now 😩 seems like a life time
my advice would be don’t plan around TTC get as many plans & holidays booked! atleast it gives you something to look forward too
when we started TTC i was the same and didn’t want to make any plans or anything just “incase” and still didn’t conceive so now iv just come to terms with it'll happen when the time is right and for now im just going to say “yes” to all plans or holidays!🫶🏼

i know like everyone says “your not out till AF comes” erghhhh but i just know im not soo🫣

to add to this post, i had an appointment at the doctors on monday for infertility, the doctor is booking me in for bloods and my partner for a sperm count so we will see!
(he doesn’t have any children) but i already have a little boy who’s 6, the doctor asked me about my history and i had to tell her about my traumatic birth (Emergency C section, blood transfusion and suspected sepsis) does make you wonder if any of those complications have caused secondary infertility , iv been deep diving into research about C sections and scar tissue causing infertility
rant over.

@MamaB12 negative here this morning so I’d say that’s def me out unless I ovulated a day later but doubtful 😫😵‍💫 back to another month of it! Prob still a few days to wait for af to arrive too which is the killer

did u test?

negative for me this morning aswell 😩
i used the 25mIU test but i still think regardless it is negative..
onto the next cycle!!!
