Hi ladies :) me and my fiancé have been trying for a while and I've got to the point where every little thing seems like a possible sign I'm pregnant, now! I was due on my period today but no sign, I've had spots popping up all over the show and I never get spots due to super dry skin. I've got really bad backache and lots of CM at the moment. Only thing is I don't want to go and get excited over nothing like I have the past months. I'm testing at the weekend when my fiancé is home from work's training course but in the meantime would love to chat to someone in the same boat! Thanks ladies :) x

Hi everyone!
I have been keeping up to date with this thread and thought I would check in as AF date is approaching! AF is due between 14th-18th I'm guessing. I ditched the opk this month and it's suprisingly refreshing! Im not counting down days and I haven't got any tests in the house, so I won't be tempted to test early! Will test next Thursday of AF hasn't arrived! Would love to get a BFP this month after a year of waiting and our best friend just had a little girl, would love to be able to share good news with her! When is everyone else AF due? X

Happilymarried155 · 11/04/2012 08:05

Pinkie I will be visiting the doctor if we don't get a BFP this month, Its such a scary time! X

happilymarried155 I have to keep my worries at bay for dps sanity! I had a little cry last night and he got a bit arsey :/ I know this is only our 3rd cycle but it's like I have a sixth sense knowing we'll have problems, sounds daft i know but I've never ever been pg in 14years of shagging and being very careful most of the time… I caved and ordered preseed and instead cups last week, not here yet so late ov would be ideal (no smiley face either in cb)

Happilymarried155 · 11/04/2012 13:07

It is hard, we are on cycle 12 and I often get upset. Dh trys to comfort me whilst saying really annoying things such as 'all this stress cant be helping' and 'it will happen when it happens!' He is not keen on visiting the doctor yet so we have agreed to wait a couple more months and then I have told him we need to go. The stress it getting to much, ALL of my friends either have young children or are pregnant and Im beginning to find it all just abit too much :(

On the upside though, I went abit crazy like you the first few months and went straight into pregnacare vitamins and opk and I'm so pleased to be having some time off them. If it doesnt happen straight away these things can get very heart wrenching and mean that you are constantly thinking about it. I feel much better having not used them this month. I dont however know when AF is due as I dont know when I ovulated but its anytime around 29-33 days which is saturday-wednesday.

I have a mild cramping in my tummy today, Im not sure if this a good sign or a sign on AF arrival. I also have been feeling a little sick after every meal but who knows-Every month I imagine symptoms and it hasnt happened so far! I cannot tell you how happy I would be to get a BFP, but every month that goes by I wonder if it will ever happen! (to think I honestly thought id be pregnant within the first few months :o I am never using contraception again!!)

Pinkie29 · 11/04/2012 19:42

I'm the same I convince myself each month I'm pg especially last month when my cycle was 44 days! I've just made my dp sound a right meanie haha! I was just having a wobble and disappointed at no smiley we still dtd tho Smile I get the same 'it will happen, stress won't help' easier said than done... Men lol! Beggars belief that we all spend so long trying not to get up the duff now we want to its not a case of 'just happened' my partner tells me we don't know what goes on behind closed doors maybe he has a point hmm! We haven't told anyone we're ttc but once it happens we'll let them know it was very much planned Grin

same here everywhere I look there's pregnant people most friends (younger an older) have kids and all celebs seem to bee preggers hff! I've no idea when af is due, average cycle for me is 33 days

WonderlandAlice · 12/04/2012 23:49

Another of my friends announced her pregnsncy this week! So hard. AF due for me around a week or so from here for me. So busy this month I've barely had time to keep track. So hopefully the whole, it happens when you don't expect it to thing will kick in! X

Fx for you alice! I secretly rage inside when it's announced haha, my brothers wife is due their first next week! Wasn't trying when they announced do I'll let them off ha! My dp says we should stop trying so hard :/ maybe I should let him think we're 'not trying' and keep the mentalness to myself Grin

WonderlandAlice · 13/04/2012 16:30

Thank you Pinkie and to you :) my OH has said that if we don't get there this time we should stop trying for a while :( xx

Oh that's a shame alice, how long have you been ttc?

Cd 28 for me so it's the final countdown now I've got all my fingers crossed that AF won't arrive between now and Wednesday, got a weekend away with the girls so that will keep my mind off it? X

WonderlandAlice · 18/04/2012 22:37

Hi Happilymarried. Any sign yet? Hopefully not! Me and OH have talked some more and we're going to see what happens this month before we decide anything for the future. Some of our friends have recently had babies and others are pregnant and I think it's all a little much for him. We've not been trying for a full year yet but nearly. I have cysts on my ovaries but wasn't sure if that would prevent me completely? The doctor said not but she did say they could slow things down. AF due early next week so fingers crossed she stays clear! It would be perfect to have a December baby :) Hope this is the month for all of us ladies! How have the rest of you got on? FX xxxx

No AF arrived on Tuesday and I had abit of a breakdown, cried all morning! Then decided enough was enough and took myself to the doctors. I am booked in for day 21 blood tests and I feel a little more positive about everything, at least we now have the ball rolling with regards to imvestigations. It is difficult when alot of your friends have babies or pregnant, lots of our friends are and I find it so difficult! I wish you the best of luck this month! Xxx

WonderlandAlice · 22/04/2012 16:26

Oh no :( I'm sorry for you, I know how hard it is when the cow arrives. I always seem to find that she arrives just as I start to think, "this actually COULD be it". Hopefully the visits to the doctor will help things progress and you will soon be sharing your BFP news. One of my sisters is due in September and another is trying, so if nothing happens this month we're going to give ourselves a break for 6 months or so. I didn't want to at first, but with the neice/nephew arriving later in the year and the potential for another to arrive early 2013, I don't want to be looking at the babies feeling jealous when they're family. If this is the month then it's going to be a busy knitting year for our mother! :D If not, it's not meant to be for the moment and we'll break for a while. FX for the rest of you and I hope things go well at the doctors HappilyMarried xxx
