Gutted!

Just a rant really. Been ttc since November 2016 but super stressed due to work in 2017, there was little chance of conceiving. 2018 I am in a better place....work is good and i am so much happier and calmer in my life. Normally my cycles are 24-26 days....last month period arrived on day 23 and although lasted 4 days was very light. This month I have been super bloated, lots of twinges and strange shabby pains as well as gassy, constipated and period was late. Looks like I have started bleeding today on cycle day 31.

I honestly thought this month was it and I feel shit as well as utterly confused as to what is going on. It has literally been years and years since my cycle exceeded 28 days. Poas on day 28 which was negative. Just turned 39 so feeling very low as clock is ticking.

Anyone got any thoughts as to what is going on?

Stabbing pains, not shabby pains!

No words of advice other than solidarity. We’ve been trying since Oct 16 and it really is shit.

Have you been to the GP for help yet?

I feel for you, its rubbish. That said stress does not stop you conceiving, if you haven't already been I'd go to the doctor and get checked out.

I'm sorry to hear that badgers. I 'know' you from the beauty hoard thread but I use a different NN for that. Just came on to offer my sympathies really, I agree with PP that you should think about going to see the GP, if that's a route you want to go down of course.

Thanks for the comments....I am just so unbelievably fucked off today. I did mention ttc to gp last year but I was signed off due to stress and in the throes of a breakdown and was very much told that under those circumstances I was unlikely to conceive. Will make ano appointmentioned after easter. I just feel gutted 😢

Similar boat to you, been TTC since March 2016 and finally been referred to the infertility clinic. I don't have any answers but have you spoken to your doctor? I had bloods done (normal) AF is like clockwork (28 days) and OH sperm came back normal which I think is why my GP didn't want to do anything. Thinking of you, it is absolutely crap when people seem to conceive after a month of trying and you're still here a couple of years later 😔

Thanks juniper - I'm really low and having a small stampy feet tantrum tonight. Not been to gp yet but going to make an appointment. So pissed off.

It's awful isn't it? Definitely get an appointment with the doctors and hopefullly the tests will be able to give you some answers. I've always imagined I would fall pregnant at the right time coming off the pill but I have not even had a whiff of a BFP which makes me wonder if something is actually wrong. Fx for you Thanks
