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!

Hi all, i'm new to this site and starting to feel like every month when AF comes a little piece of me is dying. I'm due AF in the next few days and can start to feel her drawing into town. Can I ask how long some of you have been trying for? It just might help knowing that I am not alone. x

MrsG23 · 04/02/2015 16:43

Good afternoon... Congrats everyone on their BFP! :)
Just wanted to say a quick hello.. I've been lurking around here since I came off my pill in August 2014 - worrying every month! My cycles are around 35 - 38 days ish... Been trying to track my body and CM to determine ovulation - I think it was early last week.. Then my husband and I had a drunken evening with no protection... Low and behold - 7 days later, I'm crampy and with the slightest amount of spotting yesterday. But that's it?
Could this be the myth that is implantation??

gingerbreadmam · 04/02/2015 17:23

fig i wasnt actively trying but came off my pill about feb last year and didnt get a bfp until the beginning of october. unfortunately ended in mmc.

what u describe does sound a bit like implantation. i didnt know when i conceived as wasnt actively trying but a few days before af was due i got light spotting which isnt unusual but then normally af would come and it didnt so that must have been implantation. i was very surprised when i got my bfp even tho i tested when about 8 days late.

MrsG23 · 04/02/2015 17:29

Ginger - that's what I'm thinking! It would be just my luck that the few days my husband is home from work and the only time we don't use anything, I would fall pregnant!
I panic most months as I've been pregnant on a pill before .. So to be on nothing (on the advice of my gynae cons, due to endometriosis) is really scary for me!

gingerbreadmam · 04/02/2015 18:13

dont u want to be pregnant mrsg? do u av any dc?

i definitely hadnt guessed got a shock when saw bfp.

MrsG23 · 04/02/2015 18:28

For me it isn't something that I do or don't want.. I'm happy if we are or we aren't. There are things we wanna do but it wouldn't be the end of the world if we had children whilst doing them - if that makes sense.
My OH on the other hand.. Would think his life had come to an end. He isn't in a good place emotionally at the moment so wouldn't be brilliant timing...?
We didn't go through with our first pregnancy.. We were 18, both just started our nursing training and had only just got together. We've been together 6 years now, married 6 months... It's a tough one! X

gingerbreadmam · 04/02/2015 18:53

sometimes i think you have to go down that route. it's a big decision and i dont know if there is ever a right time.

we weren't trying to conceive either when got our bfp we were also kind of if it happens it happens. once we had it though we couldnt be more pleased. hopefully that will be the case with you and your oh.

try not to worry too much your oh might be more pleased than you think plus he doesnt have a right to be mad if he knows you are not using protection. hope ur ok.

ive poas again tonite, bfn. im feeling a bit gutted. af not due till monday so im not necessarily out but think i am. i really want to be pregnant again. i believe a lot in fate and thought i might get lucky fast after all the crap i had with mmc.

MrsG23 · 04/02/2015 18:57

I can't imagine what having a mmc does to you.. Emotionally, it must be so tough! Sending you plenty of baby thoughts - my first one I didn't BFP until about 9 weeks! It's not over until AF tears her ugly head! I shall keep you updated ... Let me know how you do ginger! :) xx

gingerbreadmam · 04/02/2015 19:11

its awful but so common. im through the other side now. just want to be pregnant again.

was soo good feeling like protecting my little baby and seeing the funny changes that happen to your body. i wanna be there again! ill get there Grin

MrsG23 · 04/02/2015 19:18

My cousin has just had the most gorgeous, scrummiest little boy ever... So I'm a little envious. But also shit scared of being a mother! My OH puts me off being a mother purely for how he will react - although he'd be an absolutely amazing father (same wavelength) haha :)

I'm in love with the idea of carrying a child. It just seems so magical and wonderful - it's the baby thing that freaks me out haha

pissovski · 04/02/2015 19:29

"Its Day 32 in the pissovski house and more arrghh"!!

still no af but another BFN this morning. This evening I have had a tiny bit of brownish discharge on wiping but not every time though. I think I am weeing more, but that could just be an excuse to check knickers!

MrsG23 · 04/02/2015 19:37

What are your normal cycles pissovski?

gingerbreadmam · 04/02/2015 19:44

mrsg does oh know u could be pregnant now? have u discussed?maybe best to bring it up get an idea.

pisovski still in it till af fingers crossed for u!

Frantasic · 04/02/2015 19:48

Well this thread has filled up a bit! Welcome to the newbies. Congrats to the BFPs... Hope it's a smooth ride for you.

If I did have AF it only lasted 1.5 days and stopped abruptly... Bit odd. No more pain from the kidney infection. POAS this Avro and got a BFN but it's still quite soon after DTD so I don't know what to make of my current situation. Still a bit nauseous and my boobs have fattened up a bit and am still super fatigued. Gonna POAS on Saturday, if BFN then I'm just gonna assume that was AF at her most confusing. :0)

MrsG23 · 04/02/2015 19:48

I don't like to talk about it with him until I know for definite either way.. It's unnecessary stress on him as I worry about it a lot!
When I know what is happening, I can work out the best way to put it across to him..
Our bodies LOVE playing with our minds, aye?

cremedecacao · 04/02/2015 20:21

Ginger- I feel exactly the same. My pregnancy that ended in mmc wasn't planned either but made us realise that this was absolutely what we both wanted. Now I am desperate to be pregnant again! I also had the feeling that I might get pregnant quickly. Almost as if I deserved some good luck? Silly really. My AF is due Friday/Saturday and I've had bfns so far. Here's to next month if this one is no good for us!

gingerbreadmam · 04/02/2015 20:28

creme we must be on almost same cycles. due af monday.

im glad someone else feels like me its silly but its such a traumatic thing to go thru i jus think its only right we get some good news.

i cnt fight the urge to poas. everytime i get anything remotely symptom like i convince myself oooh yes i am. i av already decided if no bfp this month i am going to relax about it all or i will drive myself crazy.

how r u feeling?

mrsg see what happens wouldnt waste time worrying right now.

cremedecacao · 04/02/2015 20:33

Probably. Have we discussed this before or was it Sarkymare?! I know there was someone who had their mmc the same time as me at the same number of weeks, then resumed normal cycles at the same time too!

I had loads of awful family/work things happen at the same time of my mmc. Worst time ever. I feel I have moved on from the mmc but I agree I could do with some happy news!

I'm also going to try and relax a bit more next month, one month of TTC and I am already going nuts!

MrsG23 · 04/02/2015 20:36

No definitely not... I shall see what the next few days bring.
Right nipple SUPER sensitive the last few days - I have it pierced but it's never been this sensitive. Can't even put pens in my top pocket at work! Ouchies!
