Been TTC for 16 cycles..... felt pg for over a week now , nausea , sore breasts , fatigue. Usually no CM a few days before AF but this time I feel wet (sorry if tmi) don’t feel like AF is coming . BFN Tuesday after having a faint BFP Monday . Anyone else ??

@Baggyb94 my AF is due on Sunday. Earlier in week I had symptoms - fatigue, swollen boobs, nausea but now I don't feel so pregnant and boobs aren't swollen and I have slight cramps so I think AF is en route.

Good luck @Baggyb94 FX you get a BFP tomorrow - Monday/Tuesday was quite early so would not read too much into it.

Still no sign of AF I’m really nervous to test because every time I’m slightly late and test AF arrives within hours . I’m hoping I can hold off testing until Monday then I’m really late for the normal me

That happened to me. Literally opened test went for a wee and there it was!!' Still annoying.

I feel the same way. I'm due tomorrow so if it doesn't come I plan to test on Sunday but I'm worried it will show up then. Really don't want to see a bfn!!! Even though I'm pretty sure that is what it will be.

This morning this post was me through and through - the same ‘symptoms’ - feeling a bit queasy, tender breasts, very different CM and just feeling really odd - muzzy headed and not quite myself.
Well this afternoon that bubble well and really burst - f***g, gutted is the understatement of the year. 14 months of trying and I really thought this was our month. If I wasn’t already in tears I would go and greet in a corner. And if one more person mentions my bloody biological clock this month, I’ll hit them! Life officially sucks!

Sorry to hear this month wasn’t your month . It’s really disheartening I hope you get the news you want next month

Thank you , hope this month is your month . I’ve still got no sign of AF . I’m obviously due today but it’s 9/10 early hours in the morning around 2am so I’m classing myself as late now

Thanks @Baggy and @Tiddles, and sorry for being so negative. Some months I can brush it off and think, ‘Oh we’ll, next time.....’ but some months it really gets to me and I just feel like such an utter failure. What isn’t helping is that every second person around me is either asking why we’re not having a family or popping out a wee one of their own. I just wish there was some magical solution.

Teachermummy83 · 20/07/2018 22:06

Sorry Baggy, meant to add - fingers crossed for you xx

@Teachermummy83 I can totally relate to this , last month I locked myself in the bathroom and just sat on the floor crying , rang my friend for some support and she said oh well I will be pregnant soon low and beyond she’s now pregnant 2 months after her implant being removed. I’ve not spoken to her since I feel nasty but I can’t hekp but be jealous

Teachermummy83 · 21/07/2018 09:29

It’s so hard not to be jealous. I’ve spent last night wrapping 3 newborn presents that I’m dreading delivering. 3 close friends who’ve all delivered within a year of getting married. I’m happy for them but it’s hard to keep picking yourself up when Luck doesn’t come your way. The assumptions from everyone else are the worst part - we constantly are told we’d be brilliant parents and that we need to hurry up, if only folk knew! Seriously thinking we might need to go to the GP but really want to avoid that too as it’s admitting we’re the barren ones.

@Teachersmummy83 if AF makes an appearance I’m going to book in with my GP but I’m really worried she will tell me I can’t have children. I MC 17 months ago but I can’t help but worry

Teachermummy83 · 21/07/2018 11:16

Baggyb94, I totally understand. I keep thinking to myself, don’t be silly, next month it’ll happen but I’m seriosuly starting to worry now. Then I try to relax as I know stressing won’t help. It’s a viscous circle. I just hate the thought of admitting defeat and making that appointment but it’s lookinglike we might had to. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll feel more confident but this month has just hit hard.

@Baggyb94 I hope it isn't the start of AF. Still have my fingers crossed for you.

Hello Ladies. I am 8dpo and was really anxious to test so I tested this morning on a cheap Dollar Store test. Where the positive line would have been there was a very small pinkish/purpleish dot ( as if the line wanted to start there). After 5-10 minutes it was gone and the test only showed a negative. Anyone ever had this and days later got a bfp?
