Can't believe we've filled that thread, hope you all find this one!

Ali - so uncomfortable isn't it?! But I like that I can feel it happening, gives me a bit of warning at least. Yeah, I'm expecting I'll ov Thursday/Friday now which would work out much better than Saturday so fingers crossed.

You're probably right Mel.

AF due Sunday.

I know bear, I'd really have thought they could sqeeze a quick phone call in, it would take 2 minutes, but they were instant that they couldn't until the 18th. Chances are that I won't get a positive this month anyway, but if I do I think I'm going to start taking aspirin and Insit on speaking to someone.

Not long to wait at least then Ali, I know arent hopeful this month but I will quietly be keeping everything crossed for you anyway.

Any sign of Af Ali?

Any symptoms bear? I'm 8dpo and nothing, none of the cramping I had last month.

It hasn't arrived yet but I think it's imminent and I have zero pg symptoms.

Still early days Mel and every time is different I think.

thatsnotmybear · 09/10/2016 14:24

No symptoms here either. Not terribly surprised as we were only in with an outside chance this month anyway.

Yes, didn't have any symptoms with first mc pregnancy before I tested, so I guess they're all different. Will probably test at 11dpo, I know I won't be able to just wait for Af, don't have the patience.

AF arrived this afternoon - like usual, almost exactly 2 weeks after my ov pains finish.

I've been feeling ok. Quite sad about my MC due date coming up. Not sure I will be pg by then, if at all.

But I had one of those days which puts things in perspective.

How many dpo are you Mel and Bear?

Sorry Ali. Hope you're okay. Also feeling sad about mc due date approaching, 28th November, when is yours? I was sure we would be expecting again by then and that's looking increasingly unlikely. My friend is due the week after and it's all a bit depressing!

8dpo today, going to be a long week!

OP posts:
Alibaba2 · 09/10/2016 20:43

You're nearly there this cycle Mel and hopefully you will be pg by end of Nov.

Mine was 11th Dec Sad

It's so hard isn't it. The due date Is also my sons birthday, so I'm grateful that I have something positive to think of on that day, but I feel a bit like time has moved on and left me behind :(. Just have to keep hoping that we will get there soon.

Do you think you will ask your GP about the hormone testing or not?

OP posts:
Alibaba2 · 09/10/2016 21:49

Yes I'm going to ask whether there's any tests that can be done - I wouldn't go down the ivf route but there could be something slightly amiss which could be fixed. I find it really odd that my boobs no longer change with the prog like they used to. I'll also mention the spotting although I think that is normal for me.

jinglebellmel · 09/10/2016 21:55

Maybe low progesterone? My boobs have never hurt after ov, but maybe if it's a change for you it's significant. Definitely worth checking for the sake of a couple of blood tests.

OP posts:
thatsnotmybear · 09/10/2016 22:13

I'm 7dpo. My due date would've been 21st December, right before Christmas. I'm determined not to let it spoil things but if I need to take a day to be really fucking sad about it then I will.

Ali you can have Day 21 / 7 dpo bloods to check progesterone levels.

On a slightly different note, I'm having to stop taking the folate & B12 as they're making me ridiculously constipated! Blush

Alibaba2 · 09/10/2016 22:27

I'll see if I can get the cd21 and cd3 tests done. On cd21, I always feel shivery and cold so I'm sure that's the prog peaking. I also get crazy dreams so I definitely have progesterone in my system.

So the epo and grapefruit juice starts tomorrow - here we go again!

Absolutely have a shit day if you need one bear, it's a horrible time of year to be feeling this way but hopefully you'll be able to enjoy your Christmas.

I used to think ttc would be fun! But I think 'here we go again' describes it perfectly Ali!

Still nothing to report here, I don't think I've ever had less symptoms. I can't feel cramping no matter how hard I try and I'm normally great at imagining symptoms!

OP posts:
Alibaba2 · 10/10/2016 19:36

It's early days Mel but the waiting is torture. Will you test in a couple of days?

There is hardly any excitement left in ttc for me. I hope I feel more positive in a few days.

thatsnotmybear · 10/10/2016 20:33

I agree it's starting to feel like a right old slog with no end in sight! Have been a bit tearful today, I was packing away some of my DS's old clothes and our loft is full of all the baby stuff we've held onto. Thought it was a good opportunity for a self-pitying weep!

jinglebellmel · 11/10/2016 08:55

Hope you're okay bear :(

I'm sure you'll be feeling more positive soon Ali, it's totally shit to have to go through all these ups and downs every month. I think I might test tonight, fmu never seems that great for me and I'm feeling impatient. 10dpo today so should get something with a sensitive test if I am I think.

OP posts:
Alibaba2 · 11/10/2016 09:26

Exciting Mel - do you have any inkling either way?

Original poster
jinglebellmel · 11/10/2016 09:58

No symptoms at all, and I think I'm expecting a negative as I'm so used to bad news lately. Desperately hoping it will be positive though, but not sure i"ll be able to get excited about it even if it is this time. Ttc is a whole different ball game after mc sadly isn't it?

OP posts:
Alibaba2 · 11/10/2016 10:22

It really is.

And if it's negative, it could be too early...

thatsnotmybear · 11/10/2016 13:05

Fingers crossed for you anyway Mel although I know how you feel. I'm sorry I've been such a Debbie Downer this week, I guess the pre-menstrual moodiness has started early!

jinglebellmel · 11/10/2016 15:35

Know how you feel bear, feeling v negative and down already. I hate that this has become my life, it feels like another failure every month and it's all I think about. How do you both keep things in perspective?

Are you going to test before af is due this month bear?

OP posts:
thatsnotmybear · 11/10/2016 16:37

I wasn't going to test until the weekend but I walked past a chemist this morning & bought a FRER. Bfn, of course! But at least the 2ww is over, I can drink on holiday & put a bit more effort into ttc next month. AF isn't due until Sunday according to FF, but I feel very pre-menstrual so it may arrive early.
