Sorry to those who have got bfns. Hopefully next month will be your month.

How do you stop yourself going a bit mad with this whole process?

This is only month one for me and I feel myself getting obsessed already. I am expecting my period on Wednesday but my cycle lately has been between 27 and 31 days so it could be later. I have been using a first response (plus a couple of cheapies) every day for the past 3 days even though I know it's too early for anything to show. I then feel like shit for the rest of the day because I got bfn.

I am pretty much thinking about it constantly though. Perhaps it's a first month thing and then I'll calm down?

I think I have some symptoms but I'm not sure. I had some yellowey cm the other day, I had some crampy pains yesterday (although that could be caused by the constipation I currently have -sorry, tmi!)

Any tips on how not to go crazy?

toadierocks · 08/01/2016 12:25

Morning ladies
BFN for me this morning. ..... Big sigh, just going to wait for the inevitable witch to turn up in a few days Sad

Celen, how are you feeling today?

Vivi I'm afraid I'm the worst at driving myself crackers with the 2WW especially, but you'll be in good company on the MN buses to be around fellow symptom spotters

Rememberallball · 08/01/2016 14:50

BFN here this morning too (done on the qt while DH snored his head off in bed). Think af is on her way as had a little spotting today though feel fine otherwise!!

Another BFN over here! 11dpo. Good luck ladies one of us has to get lucky soon!

Celen · 08/01/2016 18:18

Hey girls, thank you all for your kind thoughts. I love the suggestion of lighting a candle so will do that later and raise a glass of vino in her memory, she loved her vino Smile Just need today to be over really, there's been a lot of tears Sad

11dpo, another bfn this morning. I know I've been testing from very early but the ttc journey is so different after you've had mcs. And I'd rather know if I have a chemical pregnancy to be honest, also I'm taking painkillers too so need to know when to stop! I probably sound really defensive Blush

If it's bfn tomorrow, I think it'll probably be a trip to the Feb bus. Having said that, I did have the oddest TMI ALERT watery pale pink spotting earlier Confused Trying and failing not to read too much into it!

toadierocks · 08/01/2016 19:20

Ah crap to all these BFN'S!!! I suggest we all get stuck into the vino celen rememberall and english what a shitty day eh!

Think I'll be joining you on the feb bus Celen, I totally feel you with the TTC journey after MMC and miscarriages, it's just a stressful time,in fact, I'm off to the local store to get a bottle (or two) of something dry and cold. It's not like I was expecting to conceive the 1st month of trying again it just so disappointing.

To top it off today, I went to my lovely hairdresser today to get the roots done and she's just announced she's preggers, I'm of course over the moon for her, she's such a doll but it just makes me want to shout at the sky ''when's it my turn'' !!!!!

too the end of a bottle I go xx

Annarose2014 · 08/01/2016 19:32

BFN here. 10 days since +opk so is that considered 9dpo? Or what?

Anyway, I know this month is a bust. No symptoms. Even with all the vitamins and the endless opks.....it looks like I just didnt ovulate again. Sad

So what to do in Feb? I honestly dont know. Should I continue with the vitamins in the tenuous hope that somehow my progesterone is invisibly increasing behind the scenes?

Should I order more cheapie opks?

Or should I not bother TTC at all until I get my appt for the clinic since the vitamins are prob just not strong enough? I mean, we may be talking Clomid......

Really not sure what to do. Going to go out for pints tonight and let it simmer for a while.....

Celen · 08/01/2016 19:46

Well I'm on the wine, it's what my friend would have wanted and if by some miracle I'm pregnant, then wine isn't going to make a blind bit of difference. Anyone joining me? Wine

KitKat1985 · 08/01/2016 19:58

Well I'm on the Baileys Celen if that counts?

Bit sad there's been so many BFNs on this bus so far. Hopefully our collective luck improves!

Celen · 08/01/2016 20:02

Lovely Kitkat, I don't mind the odd Baileys myself Grin

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 20:12

I'm on the gin celen, here's to your friend

toadierocks · 08/01/2016 20:15

Yep I'm half a bottle down celen cheers to us all lovely ladies on this journey xx ooh have a baileys for me kitkat love that stuff!!

Anna 9dpo is still early to be testing positive so don't be disheartened. There's no harm in continuing to try until the clinic appointment, just don't bust a gut if you see what I mean. if you get put on clomid then that will trump any vitamins you're on, I've heard some great success stories of ladies on clomid. Enjoy your pints for tonight, it's always good to have a night off from this TTC business. If you want to use OPK for next month, I use and recommend the boots own brand, I get a big box of 20+ something sticks for about £20, will last a good few months if you know your basic cycle. FX for you in the next few days

toadierocks · 08/01/2016 20:16

Yes to the gin firstgo love that too, shame we're not all in the same pub, we could have ourselves a cocktail party xx

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 20:21

toadie I had to order 100 opks with my crazy cycles!

toadierocks · 08/01/2016 20:30

firstgo did you get them off amazon? ah crazy cycles are tough, do you use an app to help track them as well? It took me ages to regulate again after my last MMC, in the end I went back on the pill for 3 months just to try and regulate a bit but even when I settle I'm on a 31-32 day cycle with a very late ovulation, I use period tracker to help tho

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 20:37

toadie yes but not before I had spent a fortune on CB!

toadierocks · 08/01/2016 20:43

ah firstgo imo CB are rubbish, especially the digital OKP and pregnancy tests, so many people get worried over nothing with the pregnancy ones and I've never had a OPK that works once, they always jam and some silly smiley face gets stuck on there until the battery runs out...... grrrr

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 20:49

I now use CB to confirm.

EnglishExpatUSA · 08/01/2016 21:05

toadie and celen right behind you with the wine! It's then only thing improving my mood right now!

Weirdly celen I have also just had the palest pink tinted cm today. No AF cramps whatsoever, googled it and it does sound exactly like implantation bleeding. Probably wishful thinking. Is that even possible at 11dpo?

Even if it is AF I'm quite excited to know something, anything is happening down there now I've stopped bf (23 days ago, not that I'm counting).
