Sorry about that mummyashy

I jumped out of bed at 6.30 to POAS. BFN, obvs, but am 11 dpo so I guess there's still hope. Feeling like in out this month as BBT is on the decline Sad

So much for relaxed!

Mammyashy1 · 04/06/2016 10:42

Thanks buttontum but I was happy it came I came off the pill and was waiting for first AF so I could start ttc. I hope your AF doesn't show xx

ButtonTum · 04/06/2016 20:07

Ah should have read back further! Good luck this month!

Usernamegone · 04/06/2016 22:29

No AF yet. Never wanted AF before! Normally if I missed a pill or two before AF came straight away!

Mammyashy1 · 04/06/2016 23:03

How long have you been waiting 24 days for me I was the same if I missed a pill

Usernamegone · 04/06/2016 23:38

Only 4 days I'm just being impatient 😀

Mammyashy1 · 05/06/2016 00:20

Hope you don't have to wait too long I was going crazy waiting lol I'm suffering now forgot how crappy AF is when not dulled down by the pill

Samanthalouise1989 · 05/06/2016 11:11

Hi all. Just thought I'd say hi! I'm TTC with number 2. I have a 5 year old with my ex who wasn't planned so I'm new to this trying business so very excited and nervous! Any tips on being patient would be greatly accepted!! Smile

Starmist · 05/06/2016 17:38

I had stopped following this thread. Everything was just feeling so stressful so I deleted my apps & unfollowed these threads to try & put TTC out of my mind. I haven't caught up on everything but I see there have been some BFPs, congratulations!
I'm 8 days late. Just done another test & its BFN. I'm so upset. I don't know what's going on. I've been having regular 31 day cycles since coming off the pill in September. I'm so sick & tired of this TTC business, it's so emotionally draining & I just wasn't prepared for how hard it would be Sad

AlexiaB · 05/06/2016 18:24

Starmist which test did you use? I don't want to give you false hope but sometimes BFPs don't show up for a couple weeks or even longer, so there's still hope. Have you been very stressed? That can obviously delay AF. I feel you though- ttc is horrible and upsetting, our bodies play so many tricks on us! Fx you find out what's up soon x

Samantha welcome! I've got no tips other than keeping off the internet and trying to forget lol

Starmist · 05/06/2016 18:35

Thanks Alexia I used 2 Boots digital tests earlier in the week & an Early Response today, which I was convinced would give me a BFP but it didn't. There wasn't even a hint of a second line. I haven't been stressed at all, I've been much more relaxed than I normal this month

SoozC · 05/06/2016 18:40

Starmist We all know how you feel. It is stressful and horrible for us who don't get lucky quickly. Let it all out here and we will listen. I hope you feel a bit happier soon. Big hugs.

AlexiaB · 05/06/2016 19:28

Aw that's hard to take Starmist. I've been there a few times and it's the absolute worst feeling. Fx for you x

Samanthalouise1989 · 05/06/2016 19:34

I have everything crossed for you starmist Star

Starmist · 05/06/2016 20:30

Thank you lovely ladies xx

Mammyashy1 · 05/06/2016 22:07

Aw starmist fingers crossed for you don't lose hope their is still a chance of AF ain't showed up how long you been trying? X

Sienna9522 · 06/06/2016 15:16

I think I have gone absolutely nuts! I have at least 6 - 8 days until AF is due and I did a FRER this morning. I've been looking at the test all day imagining a second line. I convinced myself I could see a second line but DP is having none of it! This TWW has been one of the hardest so far, I've even been asking DP if my nipples look any different. Oh dear Sad

Starmist · 06/06/2016 18:17

mammyashy we've been trying since January which I know isn't long at all in the scheme of things but it feels like ages.

sienna I think TTC sends us all a bit crazy!

AF has arrived today. She clearly just turned up late to mess with my head. It really doesn't help that my sister is pregnant & is constantly moaning about it. I've been upset today but DH thinks I'm overreacting. I just need to snap myself out of it & focus on this next cycle now.

Mammyashy1 · 06/06/2016 20:48

I'm sorry starmist I hope next cycle is lucky for you I think you need to try and stop putting pressure on yourself although I can't imagin how I will be on my TWW. Maybe try and find some time to pamper yourself. Does your sister know your trying? Maybe she doesn't realise how down it makes you when she's complaining on the other hand maybe she's having a hard pregnancy? Try and support her even if it's hard for you because hopefully very soon she will have to repay the favour xx

Cosmicbird · 06/06/2016 20:59

Can I join in here? Trying to be relaxed about ttc but found myself getting v upset last month when AF arrived so clearly not as relaxed as I thought I was! Have 5 DC and just doing a "lets see what happens" kind of a thing with regard to one more, it's always been our approach but before I would have temped/charted and this time I'm not. Anyway, in my fertile week round about now so plenty of dtd and we will see!
Good luck to everyone!

Eva30 · 06/06/2016 22:31

cosmicgirl welcome and hats off to you for having the energy to dtd after I imagine a busy day with 5DC!!!

TryingToStayRational · 07/06/2016 00:00

Awww Starmist it sucks, doesn't it? It's ok to get upset, it is really frustrating. I don't think anyone knows until they start ttc and it doesn't just happen immediately how they will feel, but judging by how many of us are on here plenty of people do find it tough. Most things in life you can work hard towards and eventually make them happen but apart from the obvious there isn't much we can do, which is blimmin frustrating. Hope you soon feel a bit better and this is your lucky cycle.

I find googling ttc humour images can help make me see the funny side when I'm feeling a bit fed up with it all. The one at the top is one that I found during my first properly obsessed cycle and helped me realise I needed to get things a bit more in proportion! X

ButtonTum · 07/06/2016 19:39

Starmist I think we all know how you feel. Let it all out here and hope that helps

Sienna I have been doing exactly the same things with my DH! I was convinced I got a v v v faint positive Monday but DH thinks I'm nuts & already ha his mind on the next cycle.

AF due tomorrow so I think one more test if she doesn't arrive by the morning then will see. Started cramping so think I'm out Sad

Starmist · 07/06/2016 20:11

MammyAshy she's my half sister (my mums daughter from her previous marriage). We've always had a difficult relationship & so we aren't particularly close so she doesn't know we're TTC. I do hope that when she has the baby it helps to bring us closer to be honest. You're right I should try to be more supportive now though.

Welcome CosmicBird

TryingToStayRational I am feeling a bit brighter today thanks & I'm trying to keep reminding myself what I do have in my life right now to be happy about, rather than being upset about what I don't have.

ButtonTum fingers crossed for you that its not AF making an appearance.

Mammyashy1 · 07/06/2016 21:15

Aw starmist I get it can be difficult i have 2 half sisters on my dads side and we arnt as close as I wish we where. Maybe as she doesn't know your trying she doesn't understand how hurtful her complaining is. With my daughter I was over the moon I was having her but between the summer heat and morning sickness that only stopped for 3 weeks in the middle I was prone to a winge. Try not to take it personally focus on you x
