Second cycle of trying...sort of. Tried at beginning of jan but missed ovulation as was at the end of dec. Period due 6th feb.

Am impatient. Want to take a test, but know its just a waste of money!

So sorry, Lily. Flowers I guess your body just needs a bit longer to recover.
Been having period pains for over 24 hours now, but still no AF. Normally, bleeding and cramps come as a package so this unusual but it totally feels like period pains. AF still not due til tomorrow at the earliest, more likely Tuesday or Wednesday.
I have the shits this morning (nice!) but that could just be my body's response to being woken at 3.30am to watch England be humiliated by Australia in the cricket. Sad

I got mine from e-bay, they were about a tenner for about a 100! Grin

Hi everyone. I'm 38 and ttc baby number 3 with babies 1 & 2 now being big babies of 19 & 17!

This is our first month of ttc having had the mirena coil removed on 11th December, a two day withdrawl bleed and my first AF on the 17th Jan. I "think" ovulation was around the end of jan but I wasn't very good at remembering to temp before getting out of bed every morning!

So on my old pre Mirena 28 day cycle AF is due today. I had what I thought might have been some implantation spotting on Tuesday (it was brown! Is that right??) which then stopped and then yesterday another tiny bit of brown bleeding. Is this AF starting or could I be pregnant? I have convinced myself I feel nauseous but apart from bursting into tears for no reason for the last week I don't have any other symptoms.

temperamentalamongcorvids · 14/02/2015 15:48

Sorry to hear that lily
I used to get spotting 2 or 3 days before af arrived, so frustrating when ttc as it mimics implant bleeding so closely.

temperamentalamongcorvids · 14/02/2015 15:52

And hello monkey! Similarly your spotting could be either... I'm finding it hard to deal with how closely pmt and early pg symptoms mimic each other. In October I was convinced I had a bad case of pmt, and turned out to be pregnant. Took loads of agnus castus for the symptoms before I realised, subsequently miscarried. now I feel pregnant but who knows...?

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 14/02/2015 16:01

when foreplay involves deep heat the romance has gone from TTC!

temperamentalamongcorvids · 14/02/2015 16:10

Deep heat? That makes my eyes sting just thinking about it.

SeldomAthleticFC · 14/02/2015 16:47

Well, having googled "period pains and diarrhoea but no period" I've convinced myself these could be signs I am pg - although I never experienced anything like this with either of my other pregnancies. I just HAD to poas this afternoon - BFN. But AF probably isn't due for another 3/4 days. I can't stand not knowing. I want to tell my OH what's going on with me because I'm feeling a bit crazy, but I'm holding back in case it turns out to be just a tummy bug. Blush

MyCrazyLife · 14/02/2015 20:11

Fuck, Seldom! Aren't we due AF around the same time? I also have the same symptoms!! lots of poo and period pains

Fingers crossed for us x

SeldomAthleticFC · 14/02/2015 20:33

Blimey, My! You've either been frequenting the same dodgy takeaways as me, or it does look suspiciously like we might both be upduffed. Fingers crossed!

MyCrazyLife · 14/02/2015 20:38

Honestly, I've never crapped so much in my life! prays she doesn't know Seldom in real life

Haha, haven't had a takeaway all week, one is on the way now though :)

When are you next testing? Be strong!

SeldomAthleticFC · 14/02/2015 20:58

Haha! My shits seem to have subsided for now - thank god!
I was planning on testing again in the morning, even though it's probably pointless. My Sainsbury's tests say they can show a result 4 days before P-Day and tomorrow is 4 days before AF is most likely due. But it could be due any time in the next few days, based on the last few months' weirdness. I'm committed to keep on testing until I get a line or AF.

MyCrazyLife · 14/02/2015 21:33

Mine have too! Thank fuck.

Oohh keep us posted Seldom :)

Jen2211 · 14/02/2015 23:16

Well where to begin! Had my first IVF cycle this month, unfortunately it was an epic fail. Had the beta yesterday which was negative and then started bleeding today. What can I say, I feel so alone and hurt. On top of this there have been issues with the mother in law. We had a full blown argument on Thursday because I wanted my own space in my own home. Needless to say, my husband has decided to side with her. I have been called every name under the sun and publically humiliated by her in the past few days. On top of this, I must now deal with the disappointment of a BFN which I am finding hard alone. I try to talk to my husband, however, he seems to have no idea how this disappointment feels. I feel empty inside. I didn't have the easiest of IVF cycles, the drugs made me feel decidedly ill. Need some motivation to pick up the pieces and try again.

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 15/02/2015 09:32

I'm so sorry Jen, it sounds crap that you are going through this all at the same time. I wouldn't stand for DH siding with MIL over you, but what can you do? IVF sounds so cruel because it must batter you physically and emotionally, not to mention the financial implications. Tomorrow is another day, Thanks for you.

SeldomAthleticFC · 15/02/2015 09:51

Hi Jen. I hope things are feeling better this morning. Sorry you're having a hard time at the moment: a BFN when you want a BFP is miserable without any additional crap. It occurs to me that your DH may be finding the stress of ttc harder than he lets on, and that may be why he seems unsupportive - not an excuse, but possibly an explanation.

My phantom period pains have stopped, as have the shits. Poas at 7am - BFN. I thought I saw something for a second but, despite squinting and looking at it from every angle, there's definitely nothing there. But AF may not be due for another 3 days. Or longer.. Who knows?

Jen2211 · 15/02/2015 14:28

Do you think there is anyway that bleeding could possibly signify something good? Is there anyway your body can shed a single embryo through bleeding while the other remains. Have an appointment with my gynae on Tuesday, however, not sure whether to be excited or worried. All of this is now becoming too much!

SeldomAthleticFC · 15/02/2015 17:11

Hi Jen, I honestly have no idea but it sounds extremely unlikely to me that an embryo could survive in those circumstances. I'm sure that's not what you want to hear. Sorry. Flowers

SeldomAthleticFC · 15/02/2015 19:58

God almighty! I'm driving myself round the bend: pacing up and down and googling symptoms every few minutes like a total pillock.
I hope it's pregnancy hormones to blame, otherwise I really need to be put away - or down. I am not going to poas again until Tuesday. Really! I'm not. Honestly.

MyCrazyLife · 15/02/2015 20:34

I am the same, Seldom. Must remember to delete ipad history... It's just embarrassing! Currently having a glass of wine to reverse psychology my body into being pregnant...

SeldomAthleticFC · 15/02/2015 21:07

Thanks, My, for keeping me company in my lunacy. You haven't been googling "vaginal discharge" by any chance? Of course I haven't in the last 5 minutes.
Wine sounds good. A G&T for me. Cheers!

temperamentalamongcorvids · 15/02/2015 21:28

Jen I am so sorry that life it so hard for you at the moment. It must be so hard to go through a failed IVF cycle even without being treated so badly by the closest people in your life.

Flowers
Jen2211 · 16/02/2015 06:38

Still going to see the gynae tomorrow and praying that there will be something which can glue back the pieces of my broken heart.

SeldomAthleticFC · 16/02/2015 08:13

Oh, Jen. I don't know what to say, but I'm so sorry for you. Stay strong. You will get through it.

MyCrazyLife · 16/02/2015 09:35

Oh god no, vaginal discharge was so last week. According to google it should be "white and tacky" right now, which it is. So AF is obviously round the corner, yes. I've googled everything else though! Even baby names...

Good luck Jen xx
