TTC cycle 3

[bump98]

So from the title you guys can tell I've not been TTC very long, but this is my third cycle, didn't have a period for the whole of September, but all pregnancy tests say neg so I'm guessing I've not ovulated. Getting more and more upset with every neg test. Anyone want to jump on this thread for support ? Feeling like I could do with some right now x

Can I join in?
I'm just about to start ttc on cycle 3.

I think my ovulation maths have been off the last two months as I've been getting a lot of old (Brown) blood at the beginning of AF but apparently you shouldn't actually count that as period!
I came off the pill in June so maybe my body still catching up.

Also I'm 34 and hoping I haven't left it too late 😭

I'm using ovulation tests this month! Is anyone using the clear blue ones?

I've been though so many pregnancy test already, I'm feeling bad for the environment 😂

@SundayShoes ahaha two is pregnant, I can see a line and so can a few of my friends and there deffo is one when I look at it in person, but could be an evap, will try and book in with my GP tomorrow as I've had enough and just want to know !!

@bunhead34 of course! I've never used the clear blue, only the strips which in my opinion are shite, if I'm not pregnant I'm deffo switching to clearblue. And lol tell me about it, everytime I do a pregnancy test I feel bad chucking it in the bin, I've been thought at least 10 this this past couple of weeks if not more 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

Thanks @SundayShoes and @bump98
I'm ok. A tad disappointed to have had a 42 day cycle for nothing xx

Hi @bunhead34
I've used the clear blue ones (although I didn't actually OPK this month because I was on holiday) and I found them so simple.

I use the clear blue tests too (hence being clueless about lines!!). I've seen quite a few bad reviews on here though so may have to switch, not that it makes any difference if I'm not pregnant anyway!!

@bump98 That's such great news!! So exciting!

@BLS1983 I really feel for you, if I'm not pregnant I just want to start my period now and have a fresh cycle x

@SundayShoes I'll hope for the best but I'm not feeling positive, the test seemed a bit off, there's no reason for it to be as it's in date and I did everything correctly, just pessimistic and I'm inclined to believe it's an evap not a baby xx

@bump98
I have everything crossed for you. Please keep us updated x

I edited the picture to show my friend the line and you can see it more clearly, found another secret test at my boyfriends house ! Will do another test in the morning with FMU and then will either go to the docs either with the thought I might be pregnant or about a missed period and see what they say, thankyou so much for your support, it's really helping me :) xx

@bump98 even I can see that now!! Have you told your boyfriend or are you waiting till you've done another test? So exciting!

@SundayShoes I'm waiting until I've been to the doctors, he works night so he won't even know I've been to the doctors until I know what's going on ! It's very exciting but I'm so scared it's just an evap :( xxx

@bump98
Omg! It looks like this is it for you my love. Fab idea to have an open mind going to the docs just in case but that looks positive. Awww huge congrats lovely x

@BLS1983 do you think it's actually pos and not just evap ! I'm so nervous ! I literally get anxiety in my chest thinking about it being an evap, so scared to go to the docs and them tell me it's not a positive xx

@bump98 hun you have to keep an open mind. I'm no expert but there are two lines there. Try and find a positive of it not being a positive just in case. It's so hard :-/. Good luck!! Xx

@BLS1983 just wish I had more of an optimistic viewpoint ahaha, I'm so scared they'll tell me it's negative, honestly terrified xx

@bump98 if you are that scared hun why not wait a few more days and test again? Xx

@BLS1983 I just need to know, leaving it is just going to make me more anxious, plus I need to go and get some more cream for my eczema anyway, so I need to just need to bite the bullet and do it i suppose, just scared xx

@bump98 oh I get anxiety. Best to know then hey. Buy a nice big bar of chocolate maybe and eat it after the doc app whatever the outcome. I sincerely hope it is the outcome you want xx

@BLS1983 Thankyou so much, you've been so helpful and kind. Just started with light pink spotting again, honestly just want to go to my appointment and find out now, it might make me anxious but will stop me from feeling worse in the long run xx

Just started bleeding with really bad backache and cramps :( guess it wasn't meant to be this month x

@bump98 I'm so sorry. Hope you're ok. It wasn't meant to be this month but It will happen. Was this when you were due to start?

AF still hasn't started but I did a test this morning and it's still coming back as 'not pregnant' which is really frustrating. My periods have always been so regular so I don't get what's going on.

@bump98
So sorry hun x
I'm ditching the app in replacement of ovulation sticks this month as i clearly don't ovulation when I think I do :-). Good luck for next month xx

@SundayShoes no I'm nearly two weeks late , and normally like clockwork, the test made me think this was it but clearly not meant to be, keep trying and keep us updated !

@BLS1983 yes, I will do, just gutter after that test but ah well, just feels like it will never happen. I'm going to use ovulation sticks too xx

@bump98 so you think it's possible that we trick our bodies into these symptoms? I haven't ever been more than one day here or there either.
AF showed her face this morning which sucks so now I'm sitting in work pretty gutted with horrible cramps!! Is it bad that I can't wait to be pg so I won't have cramps for a few months?!!

*do

@SundayShoes I think maybe we do, the stress of conception and symptom spotting can make you're period late, and awww no, gutted for you :( my cramps have been horrendous this cycle :( xx
