Last month I drove myself nuts with symptom spotting and early poas. I had every sign and symptom going and was convinced I was pregnant. Luckily I kept a list of all my many symptoms on a calendar so this time if necessary I can remind myself that pms has all the same same features as early pregnancy.
I'm determined not to test until 23rd, as I think I should come on then if I'm going to, must stay strong!! Anyone want company in ignoring the whole thing?!

Feeling exhausted today, doubt it's a symptom cus don't think timed BD right this time but couldn't keep my eyes open coming home from work and slept from the moment I got home at18:30 til 21:30 had tea and heading back to bed as still feel like I haven't slept for days.

Doom, are you sure you totally missed the ov window? I thought I had last month and I hadn't.

Everything crossed for you.

doomkittycleo · 22/05/2015 08:55

I'm not 100% sure I missed it, had 5 days of ewcm, 1 day of creamy cm, bd'd that night, then had another day of ewcm (could have been left over semen, but didn't appear to be. Either way only BD'd once this time.

Exhaustion is still here and I'm estimating I'm about 7-9dpo.

Don't wanna get hopes up tho cus last few months every time I've had "symptoms" they've turned out to be pre menstrual symptoms.

fuzzywuzzy · 22/05/2015 10:49

OK, but I really have everything crossed it's your month.

drinkyourmilk · 22/05/2015 17:31

Hi,
Can I join you?
I'm tying not to symptom spot, but in the past I've felt very bloated and bubbly when I've conceived (recurrent miscarriages) and I'm feeling the same this month.

birchygoo · 22/05/2015 18:15

welcome drink

sorry to hear about your mc

fx for you - when are you due to test?

drinkyourmilk · 22/05/2015 18:22

I have a long cycle, so symptoms started nearly a week ago, but not due to test until a week today.

We've had ivf in the past, but can't afford anymore, so it's bd and fx each day from now on in!

birchygoo · 23/05/2015 10:24

g'luck drink you will get lots of support here so have come to right place

drinkyourmilk · 23/05/2015 18:12

Thanks birchy.

I'm not really holding much hope. I'm in a foul mood, which is generally pms related, so I think it's a no go again this month.

Does anyone else feel that sex can be a chore these days? We've had breaks in the past, and it's worked, but at 98 I'm concerned that I don't have much time left

drinkyourmilk · 23/05/2015 18:13

Good grief!!! I must learn to proof read.

fuzzywuzzy · 23/05/2015 22:48

Oh my that's such a funny typo, I was Shock!

Grin very funny typo. I'm 37 think there are some PP on this thread around the same ages.

Good luck for this month.

doomkittycleo · 24/05/2015 02:50

Started with tingly boobs and am on day 25, defo think I'm gonna be coming on in the next few days :-(

doomkittycleo · 24/05/2015 09:01

I caved and tested even though I didn't think I'd have much chance this month and it's negative. Most likely between 9 and 12dpo today.

fuzzywuzzy · 24/05/2015 09:05

Good luck doom. I guess at least as I have to test daily due to the clinical trial, I get that out of my system.

doomkittycleo · 24/05/2015 10:19

I'm just fed up of my partner not wanting to BD enough. I start thinking there's something wrong with me, but it's possibly just cus we're not BDing enough :-(

fuzzywuzzy · 24/05/2015 14:26

Oh doom, I feel like that too some months. It really feels like DP always has something on right slap bang when I OV or we've fall end out or he's tired. It's so frustrating, he's so laid back about it and it really puts me on edge.

Especially as I'm now aware how small a window I actually have to get pregnant.

So unromantic too feeling this way.

doomkittycleo · 24/05/2015 22:15

Oh fuzzy, you have no idea how nice it is to know I'm not on my own with feeling this way.

drinkyourmilk · 25/05/2015 00:29

Sorry to hear that doom, though in a way it's good to know I'm not the only who feels that way.

doomkittycleo · 26/05/2015 13:00

And... The witch got me. Knew she was coming :-(

fuzzywuzzy · 26/05/2015 13:12

sorry to hear that doom, I got a smiley yesterday aaaand DP was not in the mood........

I'm getting really upset over it too. I do not want to force him to BD, but it's really frustrating and hurtful to be rejected. Really feel like just refusing to BD unless I have that smiley... that would be like twice a month then!!!

I feel quite petulant but right now, I'm just going with it. Think I'm allowed to be emotional (on here).

UnMN hugs doom, know how you are feeling.

Hi guys can I join please?

Just had a mc I was 13 weeks lost baby just after 9 weeks even harder seeing the baby at a scan with a healthy heartbeat the day they predicted the baby to have passed. I had a blood clot :(.

my d+c was 9 days ago now. Stopped bleeding Saturday got horrible taste in my mouth again like I had before and boobs started hurting again which is so cruel my body is just tricking me in to thinking its pregnant again.

Me and OH are trying every other night but now I am on my WTF cycle I have no idea when im ovulated etc very frustrating. Fingers crossed I get bfp soon and hope you guys do as well :)

keys27 · 26/05/2015 13:32

Sorry to hear AF got you and about your OH's sometimes they just dont understand how we feel do they :(.

birchygoo · 26/05/2015 13:43

Keys Im so so sorry to hear about your mc - no-one should have to go through that. It must be the pits with your body still telling you are pregnant :-( We are all hear should you want some support!

drink you did make me laugh - 98!!! Wonder how long it would have taken one of us to tell you we think you might have missed the boat

All I have a dp as well who is a bit reluctant at times grr he has got much better after trying for a few months and nothing is happening. I did send him to dr's and who gave him a kit for sa, and I told him that maybe he has defunked sperm or maybe actually we dont just bd enough ... so bd has upped its game this month and sa kit is still sitting in our bathroom hahah - worth a try maybe ... more bd or go give a sperm analysis to see why it is not happening hehe
