Just ranting. Sick of seeing one line. Sick of my body playing tricks on me. Sick of AF. And sick of TTC all together!!!

This was cycle 12, AF due 4th Feb. Had a strange one this month. No PMS at all, usually regular 28 days, boob ache after ovulation right up to AF but this month, nothing. Been really crampy too. So i hoped for the best, let down again! I know its still 5 days until AF but hoped a first response would give me that illusive BFP!! Ah well, I'll moan, nothing will change and I'll be back here again next month 😂

Rant over!!!

Totally feeling your pain - TTC is so hard and demoralising, I am trying not to test as I find it easier just to get AF. Sending lots of hugs x

LouLouB1987 · 30/01/2018 11:08

@theworstwife I think I need to do the same in future! Pack up the tests and just go with the flow lol!!

Best of luck to you. Hugs Flowers x

I feel your pain. 2 years TTC here. I've hardly ever actually taken a test as I usually get AF symptoms (post ovulation boobs etc) in the window between when it would show up on a HPT and AF. But when I do it's crushing to see absolutely nothing. I just want my second line!

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 11:29

Hey Lou, I had a similar month no PMS nothing. Loads of negatives got some faint positives on CD42 (usually 32day cycles). Went to the dr who was not helpful at all refused to give me a blood test and told me they were negative, I felt super stupid. However the next day I started bleeding lightly, so I thought this was AF. Fast forward 2 weeks I still feel not right. Took 2 first responses 2 days ago, again faint positives. Waiting for some more tests to see if the lines get darker in case I'm imagining them. But this would now be CD55, my first pregnancy I didn't ever test positive on urine until 7.5 week mark. So stay hopeful, your not out yet xx

LouLouB1987 · 30/01/2018 11:46

@shortgreengiraffe its so hard. Month in and out going though the same struggles. 2 years wow! Have you had any fertility checks? Best of luck though 💕

@ReeRee6108 thanks for the positive vibes! I guess your not out until a proper period kicks in! Fingers crossed as always and lots of luck to you that it all goes well!! X

Yes feeling your pain! Really really fucked off with ttc at the minute. Beginning of March will be 1 year since i came off the pill, just never imagined it would take this long.
No idea what's going on with me this cycle, been regular 30 days since July so af should of arrived on friday past, now cd 35, been getting mild af type cramping as if she's on her way since thursday but no sign and BFN on FRER this morning Sad
ReeRee that's interesting, now i'm going to get my hopes up. Doubtful though, 16dpo today and 4 days late so surely would be showing something by now if was bfp

Owlpatrol · 30/01/2018 12:27

Omg same here exactly the same since ovulation as well! Think I'm out as tested Friday and bfn I'm on cd30 and no sign of af or spotting and trying not to get hopes up as I'm sure I'm out. Just want af to come or I'll be testing tomorrow

ConfusionIsNothingNew · 30/01/2018 12:30

Feeling your pain today too!! It's been almost a year since I've had my mirena removed, I've got PCOS so very irregular periods and have been taking Clomid the past few months.

Got a BFN on IC at 11 DPO this morning (well, very faint shadowy line but I think it's an evap). Ive sore boobs and no pms yet, I've no more cheapy tests left and I'm not wasting my digis!!

My consultant and gp surgery can't agree who needs to prescribe me more Clomid so I'll probably need to do a non medicated month next month and see what fuckery my body throws at me!

Sorry for the rant, feel better now!!

SLR1906 · 30/01/2018 13:06

Im in the same boat too!! 10 Dpo and have no symptoms at all really! Am waiting for AF because i can face another BFN. Been almost 2 years now, so frustrating!!!

Merrz · 30/01/2018 14:53

It's really weird there seems to be a few of us on MN having a strange long/late af cycle just now. I really hope for us all it's a good sign, fx. Otherwise do you think it could be something to do with xmas?? Like bad diet for a week has messed up our cycles, lol maybe i really am losing my mind Blush

shortgreengiraffe · 30/01/2018 18:17

Yes I've had a whole load of tests. Diagnosed PCOS (although I believe I am ovulating) and now on Clomid for up to 6 cycles. No idea are that, can't quite bring myself to think about it.

I handle it quite well (I think) most of the time but then the reality kicks in and I feel sad that I really thought I would be starting to think about a second child now not still trying to conceive the first.

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 18:29

I'm hearing everyone and relating too much. I'm feeling defeated and like I'm going insane. More pics from today's test. I can't believe how shoddy my body is, how can something we were born to do be so hard Sad feeling super disappointed in myself, just had enough no answers just in la la land.

Kentnurse2015 · 30/01/2018 20:31

You’re only 11dpo though. I have to be over a week late before I get any sign of a bfp so who knows what will happen!

ReeRee6108 · 30/01/2018 20:33

@Kentnurse2015 this is true. Blush fingers crossed otherwise back to trying x

Hopefulbunny · 30/01/2018 20:55

I'm with you on this. I thought I had all the symptoms after having a early miscarriage in Nov but no it was AF on the way. You have to stay positive it will happen and hopefully soon!

LouLouB1987 · 31/01/2018 12:22

Glad to see everyone having a little rant. It helps!!

Somehow managed to not test today! Im going on holiday tomorrow so trying to do the whole 'its fine at least I can drink' when really im dying inside and cursing my failing body 😂

Hang in there everyone and keep me updated! If anyone gets a BFP would love to hear!! Xx

JustWonderingNYE · 31/01/2018 12:57

@ReeRee1608 that middle test...

ConfusionIsNothingNew · 31/01/2018 17:59

Just got this-shaking I can't believe it!

ConfusionIsNothingNew · 31/01/2018 18:00

Awk it won't let me upload it but it's a BFP!!

ConfusionIsNothingNew · 31/01/2018 18:42

There it is!

BFN at 11dpo.. anyone else just fed up?!!
LouLouB1987 · 31/01/2018 20:53

Ahhhhhhh congrats @ConfusionIsNothingNew Flowers hope it all goes amazingly well xxx

raraa · 31/01/2018 21:59

Yup I'm on cd41 with pg symptoms but only BFNs and what I think are probably evap lines but most of me is trying to believe they're very faint BFPs.

Had bloods taken today so will hopefully find out soon!

itshappening · 02/02/2018 19:09

I am sorry OP. I know it is impossibly hard. It is easier said than done but I do think not keeping tests in the house and only testing when your period is overdue by at least a day or so is the best way to keep sane. You'll still be thinking about it all the time of course, but somehow not going through the testing repeatedly will help. Maybe. Hopefully. I wish you so much luck anyway.

raraa · 05/02/2018 13:57

How are you doing @LouLouB1987?

LouLouB1987 · 05/02/2018 14:14

Hey @raraa

Well AF due yesterday and nothing yet! BFN on a cheapy I brought with me as we're on holiday in Egypt at moment! Trying to hold out buying a test as im pretty sure AF will show!!

How are you getting on? Update on bloods? X
