@LookingAtTheStars89 It's a possibility. Keep an eye on it :)

LookingAtTheStars89 · 10/11/2017 21:59

UnicornsandRainbows1 Nothing else yet. Testing again in the am. X

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 11/11/2017 00:28

Hope you're doing okay as can be weasledee

I sit here writing this with big ploppy tears rolling down my cheeks - I just got my period :-(

TheGrumpySquirrel · 11/11/2017 05:56

@LookingAtTheStars89 I’m so sorry 😔

Bought a cheap pink test as I’m out of FRER. Can’t face another bfn. Af due Monday so this one should show up if it’s positive. Argh. Maybe I’ll wait till tomorrow.

I got a bfn this morning and cm has been sticky for a few days now so I know I’m out. AF should be here on Monday. I’m going to take next cycle off from trying because I can’t face testing on my due date, or Christmas being this miserable. Then next ovulation date should be just after Christmas so will start trying again. Hopefully will get some tests done in the mean time.

Oh grumpy I'm so sorry. It's so hard to keep going, to continually keep that hope. I really know how you feel. I'm so glad you have a doctors appointment and also taking a month off. I took two off and it was a relief not to feel the pressure of the two week wait, to drink without worrying and just not think about it all every waking second.

stars oh crap, it's just so awful that moment your period arrives. Like all hope gone an you know you have to start again, the crushing disappointment. I hope you can do something nice this weekend and treat yourself.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 11/11/2017 09:10

@TheGrumpySquirrel. Yeah it sucks. We are going to make a few adjustments this month. I'm going to get Dh to use dude vitamins, use OPK's and eat ridiculously clean!

@NoCatsHere. Yeah, it really is a crushing moment. You feel like a complete failure.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 11/11/2017 10:41

Which vitamins are meant to be good? What about stuff like pregnacare conception? What stuff can my dh take? x

TheCatsPaws · 11/11/2017 11:18

I ventured into AIBU after asking a question about DS. Big mistake. Got into an argument on a thread about whether parents should get Christmas off and someone said to me “well you clearly have no idea what it’s like to struggle with infertility” and now I’m crying in my bathroom because it’s bought back horrible flashbacks.

Never going to that part of MN again

LookingAtTheStars89 · 11/11/2017 11:56

@TheCatsPaws Some people just don't think before they speak...or at all! Hate people that think that they are the only victim in life x

Flatwhite32 · 11/11/2017 12:12

Some people on here are horrible @TheCatsPaws. I posted on a thread a while back and got abuse. I reported the user!

TheCatsPaws · 11/11/2017 12:16

I think I didn’t make my point very well and some people got the wrong idea and thought I was saying something I wasn’t. I’m not commenting there again for a while!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 11/11/2017 12:25

I think I saw that thread a few days ago and some of the comments are ridiculous. I'm so sorry someone has made you feel like this TheCatsPaws. Some people are really tactless and just don't think about others

weasledee · 11/11/2017 12:43

Some just like to be trouble causers!
Would ignore them, most just say stuff to get a reaction Smile

LookingAtTheStars89 · 11/11/2017 13:14

I've never commented on other threads but I've read some of the "parenting advice" ones and some people really slam the op telling them the problem is all their fault and all sorts! Not helpful at all!

TheCatsPaws · 11/11/2017 21:24

Feeling down today. I’m scared I’ll never have another baby. It’s akso worrying me as to how many I’ve lost. I’ve only found the last two due to early testing. By AF it turns BFN. :/

LookingAtTheStars89 · 11/11/2017 22:01

@TheCatsPaws. I must be channelling you as I feel the exact same way. My oh kept making "start smiling" expressions at me at the in laws tonight and I just wanted to tell him to bugger off lol.

I'm worried the same thing is happening to me as I swear I've had squinters and then two days later flo shows up really heavy :-(

TheCatsPaws · 11/11/2017 22:05

Looking it’s horrible isn’t it?

That’s what happened to me two months ago, although my bleeds are extremely light which makes me think something is off. This time, I got a fairly obvious line it just didn’t get darker, then bfn. It’s so frustrating.

I suspect I may have clotting problems, as my great nana lost 3 babies and had high blood pressure and had a stroke, my nan has high blood pressure and me and my mum get severe migraine. Next bfp I’m taking aspirin.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 11/11/2017 22:13

My Mum lost two babies. My gran lost two and my cousin and aunt lost one. We all suffer from a higher blood pressure. How do you go about aspirin? Do you just take a lower dose? I took aspirin for my second pregnancy but it was prescribed it by the consultant.

TheCatsPaws · 11/11/2017 22:18

Baby aspirin, you can buy it. I get mine from Waitrose. Have it in stock as I’ve lost the last two at 4weeks ish.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 11/11/2017 22:31

When do you start taking it?

TheCatsPaws · 11/11/2017 22:34

Different doctors say different things but I’ve been told as soon as you get a bfp. Some take it after ovulation.
