Some of you may recognize my username from the pregnancy and miscarriage boards. DH and I have been TTC since September 2016 and I had a MMC in January followed by an early MC in May. We took a break but got back on the wagon last month and this is our second month of TTC again.

I think I ovulated yesterday and we have DTD three times in the last four days, so I'm hopeful this might be the month for us! AF is due on 3rd September and I know it's going to be a long wait. Anyone want to join for some 2ww support? Smile

RandomUsernameHere · 30/08/2017 15:05

Congratulations @AlexsMum89 !!! 🍾
Also to others who have had a BFP. Just catching up with the thread!

Mrsjones17 · 30/08/2017 15:14

@alexsmum congratulations!

I feel like caving but think I'm going to to be disappointed...12dpo AF due monday but had a little bit of spotting which is how it usually starts. I have a frer at home is it worth it or not?!

PollyCazaletWannabe · 30/08/2017 15:19

Congrats to all those with BFPs! Flowers
I think I'm almost certainly out. CD28 and I have had some brown spotting which I think is probably the start of AF :(

Yes yes yes @Mrsjones17 do it!

HolyShmoly · 30/08/2017 15:53

Congratulations Piewrath and AlexsMum

AlexsMum89 · 30/08/2017 16:01

I'm wishing you all the best of luck xxx
I literally don't know what to do with myself now. I've got loads of stuff I need to do if course but I can't really concentrate!!

PabloEscobarlo · 30/08/2017 16:08

Bfn for me, af due on 6th but I think I know I'm not now. My symptoms have disappeared completely, I am so disheartened even though it's our first month trying!

Cinnamonstoothbrush · 30/08/2017 16:09

Congratulations @alexsmum- great news but yes, now I'm tempted to test right now!

loobylou124 · 30/08/2017 17:01

@pablo don't give up yet, there's still a week before your AF!

@alexsmum, yippee!! Time to buy lots of pregnancy books!

I'm currently on CD18, about 5dpo. AF technically due on wed 6th but last cycle was curiously short (24 days) so I'm going to hold off testing until Sunday 10th just to give add 28-day chance to arrive. I think I'd rather suffer a longer wait than have to face a bfn. If she's not here by Sunday I'll be suspicious enough to justify a test! Anyone else #waitingtowee around then? X

PabloEscobarlo · 30/08/2017 17:02

Thank you @loobylou124 I'll try :-)

Fia256 · 30/08/2017 17:19

Unfortunately I think I am now definitely having a chemical pregnancy 😞

Did a Superdrug one earlier which was pretty much negative just a squinter of a line, and a first response just now which is also nearly negative. I got my bfp 48 hours ago now so the levels should have doubled but are obviously dropping for there to hardly be a line. What a rollercoaster these last few days have been so far. Just want it to be over with now x

Cinnamonstoothbrush · 30/08/2017 17:20

@loobylou124- due on tues 5th so planning to test on Sunday :)

EsmeGNU · 30/08/2017 17:33

I'm sorry things are so up and down @Fia256. The not knowing is so difficult. FX for you.

DragonsandDungeons · 30/08/2017 17:47

Fia it can be concentration of urine or the test itself. I hope you're okay x

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 30/08/2017 18:00

@AlexsMum89 congratulations! Fantastic news

PabloEscobarlo · 30/08/2017 18:06

Oh @Fia256 sorry everything is so up and down for you x

Fia256 · 30/08/2017 18:06

Thanks all for your support, but I really do think this is the beginning of the end.

Just feel about down now about it all. My first two children were problem free pregnancies, they both were surprises in fact. Then since them I've had a 5 week chemical, miscarriage at 7 weeks and then my late mmc in June this year at 16. Feel like why does it keep happening to me 😞

AlexsMum89 · 30/08/2017 18:37

I'm sorry @dis sending you loads of love xxxxx

AlexsMum89 · 30/08/2017 18:38

Sorry phone autocorrected, I meant @fia

Opensesame1 · 30/08/2017 19:33

Aww I'm sorry @Fia256 .. that's awful
That you have had such a rough time!!

I am having a few wee pains today on my left side so I am hoping that it might maybe be implantation but I am also doubting myself as I think I had quite bad cramps and pains cycle before last around this time too so it probably means nothing!!

I also go carried away with the early testers and got a BFN... I'm only 8dpo!!!! What the hell was I thinking!!! 😂😂

HolyShmoly · 30/08/2017 19:40

Fia, I'm really sorry. Hopefully things will turn around for the best soon.

When I told DH last night that I was pretty sure I was out he asked if it was time to go see the doctor. He hates the doctor so I'm not sure if he was more disappointed or relieved when I told him it would be ages yet before a doctor would look to help us. I don't know whether they'd be any quicker as I've already been diagnosed as having PCOS but that was long before we started trying?

Sictransitgloria · 30/08/2017 20:12

I'm still convinced i'm out despite not af showing up yet. Think that will be my Thursday treat. Has anyone noticed their cycle lengths changing since ttc? I used to have 27-28 day cycles, now they are 30 days?

felicityheather · 30/08/2017 20:33

@Fia256 sorry you're going through so many ups and downs.

Fia256 · 30/08/2017 20:48

Thankyou all, MN has been my support the last couple of days, more so than hubby who has the typical "stop stressing and wait and see" attitude 🙄

Hoping to get in with drs tomorrow for bloods to be taken. I feel I just need a definite answer. Also REFUSING to test again now. I'll either wait it out to start bleeding or if in 3/4 days there's still nothing I'll test again.

All this is happening round DDs first day of school tomorrow. Feel so frustrated that it is tainting my excitement for that!!
