@delilah7 that’s good then! When Is AF due? It could be just too early? We’ve DTD Friday and Tuesday, I’m apparently OV today so two week wait after DTD again today. AF due 15th so just ordered some tests from Amazon.

@AmyLouise94 welcome! Wishing you lots of luck and baby dust.
Xxx

Delilah7 · 31/05/2018 11:07

@MrsA89 If I work out 28days from my 'withdrawal bleed' it should be tomorrow. If not my normal bleed would be Monday! Hopefully it's just too early.

@RobynC19 welcome. Sending you lots of baby dust xxx

@AmyLouise94 yay we are buddies! This is our month 7/8 too! Actively trying for 7 but unprotected for 8. My AF is due on 7th June so we are in a similar boat. You probably feel as disappointed as I do when everyone else seems to be pregnant after 6 months. I also find it hard to believe that it's 'normal' to take a year. Does anyone actually get pregnant after trying 9-12 months? X

AmyLouise94 · 31/05/2018 12:15

@RobynC19 I wasn't going to tell my family but i was so excited to start trying and I honestly didn't think it would take this long. But I do understand why you didn't Tbh. Good luck to you to :)

@MrsA89 thank you so much. Spreading baby dust to you to and positive energy!!

@buntingandstarcharts omg!! That's amazing that you are in the same position as me! After the 6th month that's when I started feeling really down about it all because everyone around me finds it so easy. But the doctor insists it can take a year or more and that it's the norm but my goodness it's hard isn't it!! Well we are on the wait together. Let's hope at least one of us gets the BFP!!! I'm so ready to be a mum it's unreal haha!! Looking out for implantation symptoms but nothing yet

buntingandstarcharts · 31/05/2018 14:39

@AmyLouise94 this is amazing, so good to have a friend in a similar position! Month 6 was hardest for me, literally had a weeping breakdown. I feel so much less optimistic now that it's almost more healthy mentally. I'm 30 so I guess if I'm not pregnant within the year they will do some tests? I love your doctor for saying it's normal, but is it? I don't know anyone I don't think who has fallen pregnant naturally after a year of trying, does anyone else? Not that I'm being negative nancy here, just trying to gain some hope! Smile

AmyLouise94 · 31/05/2018 15:02

@buntingandstarcharts omg we are pretty much the same person right now!! It feels so good! Yes he literally said I need to basically just take it easy and it will come naturally and if it didn't within the year then that's when they would start looking into it all. Yes I've known people to get pregnant after that long, that's the only thing that keeps me positive in all this and not like a failure. You got this!! Smile

Delilah7 · 31/05/2018 15:07

Loving the bonding on here. 😍

Me too @Delilah7 it's so so nice to have friends in the same situation as itshard to talk to real life people without them feeling sorry for you (which I can't cope with!!) @AmyLouise94 I'm so glad you know people who got pregnant after the 8 month point, that's so hopeful and makes me feel so much better! Let's all stay in touch ❤️

Delilah7 · 31/05/2018 17:55

@buntingandstarcharts agreed. I love it. I feel like an agony aunt when I know nothing about it 😂😂 but it's just nice to hear support isn't it? I just want that BFP. Im gonna ball so much when I get it xx

MrsLStone · 31/05/2018 18:33

Looks like everyone is organised and knows exactly when and what’s happening had my implant out nearly 3 weeks now and on it I usually would be on by now but nothing do you think it’s my body getting used to having no contraception??? I’ve got no symptoms or nothing so I’m guessing it is xxx

Delilah7 · 31/05/2018 18:51

@MrsLStone I would say that. You'll have to just wait it out till AF comes and then track from there xxx

OP posts:
AmyLouise94 · 31/05/2018 20:48

I have felt so much more positive today talking to you ladies. Feels so good knowing people actually feel the same way💖

MrsLStone · 31/05/2018 22:00

Thanks @Delilah7 I think I’m just thinking about it too much xxx

Delilah7 · 01/06/2018 07:23

Hey ladies.

Think I'm defo our. The start of AF has arrived on the plus side. Who knew she'd come dead on when I thought she would!! Xx

OP posts:
Delilah7 · 01/06/2018 09:43

Ladies I thought AF was here but... it's stopped. Bare in mind it was only the browney start of it.. but now it's gone away lol. Hopefully she will return!

OP posts:
RobynC19 · 01/06/2018 10:06

Take a test could it be implant bleeding

Delilah7 · 01/06/2018 10:07

@RobynC19 I took one yesterday morning though and it was negative.

OP posts:
Amz60 · 01/06/2018 10:16

@Delilah you won’t get a positive before implantation as implantation needs to happen to produce the hormone which a test checks for! Test again in a few days xx

RobynC19 · 01/06/2018 10:20

@Delilah7 fingers and toes crossed for you x

Delilah7 · 01/06/2018 10:20

@Amz60 oh god so there's me getting excited for Aunt Flo now 😂😂 I doubt its implantation I'd be like 15dpo surely that's too late xx

OP posts:
AmyLouise94 · 01/06/2018 10:30

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @Delilah7

Delilah7 · 01/06/2018 10:35

@AmyLouise94 is it not too late though? Surely x

OP posts:
AmyLouise94 · 01/06/2018 12:20

I honestly don't know lovely, our bodies do surprise us. It should be your AF appearing because implantation is usually a week after ovulation but our bodies are different. It's so confusing isn't it xx

Delilah7 · 01/06/2018 12:29

@AmyLouise94 ridiculously confusing lol xx

OP posts:
AmyLouise94 · 01/06/2018 12:35

@Delilah7 literally I wasn't made to be a woman because I just can't cope with all the patience we have to have when ttc!!😂 I'm 6 dpo and all I've had is a few cramps but that could just be my body getting ready for AF. I just want to know!! Ahhhh haha x
