hi all. DH and i have been ttc #2 for 16 months now.

we've had 2 mc. the last mc happened over xmas so waited for my AF to come then carried on ttc. im taking folic acid and 75mg aspirin and according to bloodtest im fit and scans showed im ok internally.

anyway this month had a AF on march 9th have been ttc all month i know im on a 28 day cycle. about a week after ovulation i started getting dull cramping not painful but i knew they were there this carried on for 1 week. So was due on good Friday and nothing, i have been to the day since last mc. i have got sore breasts and am so tired all the time. did a test Friday and got negative? I feel pg but scared its all in my head.

anyone got any thoughts? im driving myself mad (which i know won't help)

Ooh you could be but just not enough hCG yet. Do you chart or something to pinpoint ov? Otherwise I would suggest you ov'd a day or two later than usual. Incidentally, why are you taking aspirin? Have you had tests and know this could be a factor in your mcs?

I'm TTC #2 as well and had 2mc in 15 months, so in a similar situation and desperately hoping that this month is our month. Hope it is for you too - mcs are horrible and you sound like you are due for some good luck.

no dont chart as i felt id just get so obsessed (even though i am already!) have a good idea when i ovulate get a cramp and sticky discharge.

yeah I've had bloods done which were fine and internal scans which were also fine Dr said its pure bad luck. Dr suggested 75mg aspirin a day to thin my blood because of the mc.

yeah it is so hard and really hope this is it is. good luck to you also think its time we both had good news.

Foxy and Generic- so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. Not sure what it means exactly, I just came off the pill last month so don't know my cycle yet but I think I was due on Sunday but still no sign. I did a test yesterday but negative. I wish you both luck and hope you're blessed with a second child.

My first couple of tests for DD were negative but I just knew that I didn't feel the same. Sore boobs were a dead giveaway for me. Wishing you lots of luck.

Wiggy29 · 09/04/2012 21:52

I haven't had sore boobs but freak nipples that won't go down! I seem to have cramp but just on an evening (although I know from DS that I had cramp when pregnant), I also have ewcm today so that's confusing too! I have no idea what's going on with my cycle but I wish you guys luck.x

I had this last month, ended up coming 14 days late. there are many stories of "no bfp until 8 weeks" and just as many like me who just came much later and heavier. My honest advice is try not to think about it. Pick a date by which you will do a last test and/or go to the doctor, say in another 2 weeks, and just pretend you are on the 2ww again or you'll go nuts (and/or be inconsolable when af arrives)

Wiggy29 · 10/04/2012 08:53

I totally agree mrstwinks, although there will be times when you get a negative which turns out to be a positive,I imagine these are few&far between.I think in the vast majority of cases it's just a late af. I suppose it's easier said than done to not get hopeful though,especially if you have been trying awhile&normally hav a regular cycle.

I didn't get a BFP until I was 8 days late with DD, good luck!

MmeBucket · 11/04/2012 00:41

I kept taking them when pregnant with DD, because I knew I was pregnant, and it took me 10 days of that to finally get a BFP. The Dr. concluded I had ovulated 10 days late. Sometimes it is all in your head, and sometimes your body knows more than a stick. Good luck.

thankyou all for the great advice. still no AF just sore boobs, tiredness and weeing constantly. spoke to gp who was lovely and said there is every chance i could be and its just too early. going to wait till Monday and test again.
