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

@ kimbiscuit. It was just a chemist own one. I assumed it was bfn or faulty.

PabloEscobarlo · 05/09/2017 15:55

And you @Xjo1992x

lindypops33 · 05/09/2017 15:59

@kimbiscuit. It was called Clear and Simple

My period has started. It was only our first month of ttc number 2, but I am so ready now for another baby and just wanted to be one of those women who gets pregnant super easily. As it is I am beginning to think I conceived last time because I had a uterine biopsy. It took almost a year and I just hope it doesn't last so long again. Or worse not happen at all. I am sure it's only hormones speaking but I am very down in the dumps today Sad the thought of it being such a struggle terrifies me. And I keep thinking, what it the hospital refuse to give me another biopsy, what if it never happens, etc. Argh. Sad

Good luck to everyone still waiting x

I'm sorry @Freezingwinter, been kind to yourself the next few days and regroup for next month. FX the next cycle will be your lucky one.

I'm on an ever tightening spiral of complete madness. AF still hasn't started and I am inventing ever more ridiculous explanations for why I might be getting BFN whilst still actually being pregnant. This despite the fact I got a faint BFP at 10 dpo last month with my chemical. My husband is on a stag do and I've only seen one other human for an hour today which I suspect is making the craycray worse. Confused So that's fun. In other news how many cups of tea is too many? Hmm

PabloEscobarlo · 05/09/2017 17:31

@Freezingwinter I am so sorry to hear this. Be kind to yourself.

@EsmeGNU Im on lots of tea today too!

Freezingwinter · 05/09/2017 18:07

Thanks both [flowerim scared and fingers crossed it can happen without any help

surreygirl1987 · 05/09/2017 18:15

Af had just arrived for me too. Damn. I know it's only my first month trying but i naively thought it would be that easy!!

lindypops33 · 05/09/2017 18:22

@surreygirl1987 I'm the same. I've read and heard so many stories of people falling pregnant straight after stopping BC. I was hoping I would be the same!!

EsmeGNU · 05/09/2017 18:45

And biscuits and cake I hop @PabloEscobarlo

loobylou124 · 06/09/2017 07:05

Flowers to everyone this morning! No news here. I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated and my last cycle was a real shorty at 24 days so I don't know exactly where I am this month. AF would be due today if it's another 24 day one but will give it until the weekend just to be on the safe side. Never realised that ttc would be mostly maths 😉 x

MrsEmK · 06/09/2017 08:35

BFN this morning. Due AF tomorrow so no doubt I'm out. Had so many symptoms as well so now I'm thinking I won't have a clue when I actually am!!

EsmeGNU · 06/09/2017 09:01

AF finally arrived this morning. She'll be due again 2nd October, hopefully I'll have better luck next month though. FX we get some more BFP's before then!

Freezingwinter · 06/09/2017 09:04

Why can't it be easy for us all!!! Angry

It's so shit! Sorry to those who have also got BFNs this month. Some positives -
We all have another month to save more towards baby/mat leave etc
We'll look back and remember these shitty times during the nights with feeding our new babies!

Gudgyx · 06/09/2017 09:44

Officially late. AF due yesterday, hasn't appeared and no signs she is going to. BFN yesterday morning.

Just wish she'd hurry up already!!

kimbiscuit · 06/09/2017 09:49

I'm officially out too. AF arrived with a vengeance today on day 35 of a 29 cycle. Hopefully you all have better luck this month. See some of you next month on the 2WW. Good luck to all 😘

Xjo1992x · 06/09/2017 12:02

AF is due tomorrow. I'm scared that she'll turn up :( testing tomorrow morning so long as she doesn't!

Littlebee12 · 06/09/2017 12:50

Big hugs to you all who have had the bfns. I'm still waiting for af to appear. Bored of waiting for her now. Had no energy all week until now when I've had a massive migraine. Usually a sign she's on the way so fingers crossed she'll just crack on now and end this craziness.

Gudgyx · 06/09/2017 15:59

Boots have a 3 pack of FRER just now for 10.95.

Just went and got some, this is driving me insane. I've kept calm and nonplussed the past month or so, but this being late and showing no sign of coming, but having a BFN is annoying. I just want to know either way!!

PabloEscobarlo · 06/09/2017 16:16

I'm still waiting for af too, so frustrating.
I did check my cervix and it's really high and quite soft but closed x

Xjo1992x · 06/09/2017 16:18

This is going to sound stupid... But how do you check your cervix? Isn't it quite far in?

lindypops33 · 06/09/2017 16:34

@xjo I've been wondering the same thing myself! 😄

PabloEscobarlo · 06/09/2017 16:54

I kinda googled how to do it! I'm not totally sure I'm doing it right

Xjo1992x · 06/09/2017 17:27

Haha Grin I'm glad I'm not the only one clueless about my own body! Haha

lindypops33 · 06/09/2017 17:57

Anyone got any experience with anemia and trying to conceive? X
