Hi I'm TTC my 2nd baby n so far 4 failed attempts! :( thought it would be nice to share experiences with others TTC and then hopefully celebrate with ppl when they get their BFP! AF is due tomorrow for attempt no. 5 so keeping my fingers crossed! How long have you been trying?? X

its really frustrating isnt it zo, I just want to know one way or the other.

I haven't mentioned it to dh

ZoBo1234 · 14/03/2014 12:22

It is so so hard. I haven't mentioned to my hubby either. Don't want to tell him until its all completely confirmed that I am. I just don't know where to go from here.....why are my boobs sore and really veiny, why have I been spotting if I'm not pregnant. It's so confusing :(

How late are you now? X

littlemisswine · 14/03/2014 12:50

I think af is due about now but dont have regular cycles so not 100% sure

ive been frantically on Google as I had the mri on tues and because my tests were negative they used a dye but it seems ok so im relieved. My consultants given us 6 months to conceive then if we dont by sept ill start treatment which you can't have during pregnancy so im really hoping to ring her next week and tell her ive got a bfp

toothachereturns · 14/03/2014 17:33

Well, still no sign of af here either. I just want to know one way or another!!!

littlemisswine · 14/03/2014 18:01

Hi everyone im new to the site just trying to find my way. I currently have 3 sons and had my mirena taken out last Oct had 2 normal periods my last being 7th Jan. I did a hpt on 13th Feb with a positive. Since then ive had a blood test with a hcg level of 10700 almost 2 weeks ago and 2 U/S. First one was almost 2 weeks ago with egg sac visable measuring at about 5.4 weeks and no heartbeat of course. I was then sent for another U/S yesterday with blip suppose to be measureing at about 7 weeks could hardly see anything but went to a different scan centre and still no heartbeat and blip still measuring at about 5 weeks. Based on this information I was so gutted as we really want this baby and its our lucky last hoping for a girl but would be happy either way. I had another hcg bloodtest yesterday and today I got results of 36400. So could it just be too soon for the heartbeat. I was so devastated yesterday I havnt said a word to dh. Just need some advise and maybe others who have gone through something like this.

littlemisswine · 15/03/2014 07:22

sorry nurse ive never been through that so hard to advise, are you booked in for another scan next week? all I can think of is if not seeing if yoy can get a private scan they are about £60 where I live

littlemisswine · 15/03/2014 07:26

sorry that af got you princess, I hope you are ok and get your bfp very soon

ive decided not to test again for a few more days as on the tests so far ive only had very very faint lines so im leaving it a while to see if they get any stronger or if its just very badly placed evaporation lines. ive had bad cramps, ewcm and a bit of a sickness feeling in the afternoon for the last few days which could be symptoms or pre af

toothachereturns · 15/03/2014 10:46

I don't have any words of wisdom for you Nurse, other than the fact the hcg is increasing might be hopeful? Fingers crossed. x

Well I got a BFN again this morning. No sign of af. I'm feeling really sad. I'm going to stop POAS for a while. Sad

littlemisswine · 15/03/2014 11:26

sorry to hear that tooth

ive done another test and think its faulty as theres pink dye where the white should be so still unsure

toothachereturns · 15/03/2014 11:41

I see what you mean. Can you do another one later?

littlemisswine · 15/03/2014 12:19

ive run out now!

nurse1 · 15/03/2014 12:39

Thank u ppl. Hopefully someone has been down this road. Can someone please explain wat the short coded letters stand for im so lost reading some of these posts

littlemisswine · 15/03/2014 15:10

The ones I can think of are
bfn -big fat negative on pregnancy test
Bfp- big fat positive
Af-period
Poas-pee on a stick

Chloelouises31 · 15/03/2014 15:18

Hiya i'm a newb too, been waiting 6 days for AF but still no sign, did a test yesterday but BFN :( gunna try again Monday morning - been TTC for 4 months now, but only had my implant out in November so hoping everything is back to normal now & this is out month!! Good luck to all ??

Hibou7688 · 15/03/2014 15:44

Just got a question about clear blue digital opks. I just did one came back as the empty circle. But when I took the stick out there were two lines that were equal in darkness. Just wondered what the lines mean? Because if they work like normal opks then I'd assume I was high/peak but the monitor said otherwise.

littlemisswine · 15/03/2014 20:18

im not sure sorry hibou, it might be worth starting a seperate thread with the clearblue ovulation tests in the title as I dont think anyone on this thread used them when I asked before Smile

molly123d · 15/03/2014 22:55

Hello every one am 27 i have been TTC for 10 months now and yet nothing. So i have now started taking Femibion and have taken 15 pills so far, Now am experiencing metallic taste in my mouth. Has any one experienced this and has Femibion worked for any one.

toothachereturns · 16/03/2014 11:17

Hi Molly. I'm sorry, I don't have any experience of that, but I did get a metallic taste in my mouth in early pregnancy. Have you ruled that out?

I'm still in limbo here. Bfn, no af, no sign of impending af. My last positive opk result (of the 9 days worth I had Hmm ) was 8th March, but had my first positive one on 28th Feb. Don't have a clue when I actually ovulated! Although i did get distinctive pains in my right side around the 4/5th March. So maybe af isnt even due yet. Confused

molly123d · 16/03/2014 12:39

Hi thanks for the response. Actually I have thought of that but am afraid of raising my hopes up. I ovulated from the 7th of March so am thinking if I took a home pregnancy test its probably so early. Am going to wait till few days to my period then I can take the test. Wish me luck . Will keep you posted.

toothachereturns · 16/03/2014 12:44

Good luck. Smile

littlemisswine · 16/03/2014 16:24

I was expecting af either yesterday or today but nothing yet

did a cheap test this morning and there was a faint line, but on a 1st response early response this afternoon I cant see one

going to try another cheap one in the morning

Hibou7688 · 16/03/2014 19:16

X posting this in my excitement!

I just did a cheapy opk, two dark lines (first time ever!!) so went all out and checked on cb digi and I got a solid smiley!!! Bit weird cos yesterday it was an empty circle. Does this mean I have to dtd for next couple of days? Did it last night anyways so guess that was good timing!!

So glad to finally get proof I am ovulating, god knows how excited I'd be with a bfp.
