@beibikeiks good luck!!!!!!!!!

Langpants · 19/12/2018 10:06

@beibikeiks - thank you! That's promising! I'm still getting lots of cramps. If I didn't have that faint line, I'd be convinced AF was coming. Nausea for two days now as well. My period is only due on Sunday so I'm lucky to have seen a line this morning! Xx

melonballer1234 · 19/12/2018 10:52

@Langpants Congratulations! When are you going to tell your OH?!
I have been trying not to symptom spot but it’s so difficult. Last night I was like a furnace which is very unusual for me as I’m normally allways a cold fish. It must have been bad as my DH commented on it!

Langpants · 19/12/2018 11:08

@melonballer1234 - thank you. That sounds promising! How far are you?

I'm going to tell him on Sunday if all is still well and the line is dark enough. We have a date night planned before the family arrive for Christmas. :) xx

beibikeiks · 19/12/2018 12:40

I think I'm out unfortunately. AF pains and bleeding. I'm gutted. Thought this might really be it right before I was supposed to go see a doctor 😩 (3 years since starting TTC and 1 year since ectopic)
So now there's no postponing it...

Langpants · 19/12/2018 13:10

Oh @beibikeiks - I'm so sorry to hear this. You mean you thought you wouldn't have to see a fertility doctor? Sending hugs. 3 years is a long time to wait. Although I haven't had the continued disappointments, I know what it's like to wait. My OH and I wanted to try for a baby 3 years ago but I got breast cancer and had to put it off. 2 years after chemo, so 3 years in total. I then used frozen embryos for two rounds of IVF as need to get back on my cancer drugs, but both failed (one was a chemical). This is my first month trying naturally. Wishing I'd never bothered with the IVF now, but you never know how long it'll take to conceive. I really hope things work out for you very soon. Xxx

heiheithechicken · 19/12/2018 17:08

I'm definitely out.

2WW anyone??

beibikeiks · 19/12/2018 17:46

@Langpants Yes. Or I was told I should try for another year after my ectopic at the end of last year because according to the doctors that was a good "sign" that I actually conceived (just didn't make it all the way). And I was just really hoping this would happen before I needed to go see them again 😩

This is just very frustrating since I've already had a healthy pregnancy where I conceived (unintentionally) after only dtd once! But that was 8 years ago and I was really hoping to have a shorter gap between my children and I just feel like I'm running out of time... And then keep seeing everyone else having babies (my sister has had 2 while I've been trying!)

And I'm so sorry to hear what you have been through 😔 sounds awful and I hope you're feeling better and that you get your BFP soon!

Langpants · 19/12/2018 17:52

Oh @heiheithechicken - I'm so sorry. I know how disappointed you must be. Xx

Langpants · 19/12/2018 17:58

@beibikeiks - thank you. I'm sorry you're going through this. It's all so disappointing and frustrating and it's hard not to feel resentful.

It was a punch to the gut when my OH sister told him she was pregnant on the day I found out I was no longer pregnant. (My OH told me at dinner on our official test day and I couldn't help but burst into tears) Super happy for her now but it was hard to hear at the time.

Out of interest, do you use a fertility tracker/temp/pre-seed etc? You've probably tried lots of things. I was going to start acupuncture in Jan, but if my faint BFP sticks around, I'll save the money instead. Xx

goldflakepaint · 19/12/2018 18:23

@Langpants Congratulations! So pleased for you. When are you next testing?

@beibikeiks Sorry to hear and can completely understand the disappointment as it sounds like you've had a tough time. Look after yourself. And good luck with the fertility doctor, hopefully it'll help and get you that BFP.

@heiheithechicken Sorry to hear you're out, sending hugs.

I am technically still in 2ww as on 6th day of spotting on and off Xmas Angry. So annoying- this happens to me a few cycles ago and af did not start until after 7th day of spotting (I tested on 7th day and got BFN). Expecting af to finally show in next few days, not even thinking about testing unless it does not show by Sunday. Feel like I'm in limbo which is pretty crap as would just like to move forward. I just can't imagine that all this spotting isn't impacting our chances of getting pregnant. Oh well, I have gynaecology appointment on the 3rd so will hopefully start getting answers soon. Good luck to everyone else still in 2ww.

Langpants · 19/12/2018 18:33

Oh good luck @goldflakepaint - please let us know how you get on. Fingers crossed all ok and you've got your BFP.

I'll be testing again tomorrow morning (10dpo) xx

diamondofdoom · 19/12/2018 19:03

Hello ladies!

I've RTFT and commenting to save my place to see what happens to your 2WW's! Me and my partner are trying (only since start of the month), but I've not had a period in 6 months (doc unsure why, blood results next thurs) so if it isn't hormonal I'm going to be given Provera to kick start my periods and hopefully that'll work!

This will be my 2nd child and my DP 1st (although he has become daddy to my daughter as her bio dad hasn't been in the picture since conception) and he will be adopting her too. I just can't wait for us to have a child together to share the newborn and first years together. My DD is 2 and a half so he missed the first year and is excited to have a child with me.

Sorry for the rambling, we aren't telling anyone that we're trying so I have no one to talk to about it! Good luck ladies Thanks

tinatsarina · 19/12/2018 20:28

@Tracy472018 good luck to you. If you aren't menopausal I don't see why you shouldn't keep trying

heiheithechicken · 19/12/2018 20:45

Thanks everyone.

New year will hopefully bring some luck to the rest of us Xmas Smile

Hi ladies o think I'm around 4/5 DPO anyone around the same?

Langpants · 20/12/2018 05:32

Hi everyone

Slightly darker today at 10dpo. Was hoping it would be much darker already. I'm impatient and petrified it's going to be another chemical pregnancy. What are the chances of two in a row, one month apart?? x

2WW anyone??
lavenderbluedilly · 20/12/2018 13:28

Langpants I think it’s a great sign that it’s a wee bit darker. Last time I had a BFP I only had a line like this at DPO14. I’m coming up negative today at 10DPO but I only have those One Step tests in the house while have 2.5 star reviews on Amazon! I have sore boobs, creamy CM and cramps, so trying to keep optimistic

Langpants · 20/12/2018 13:42

@lavenderbluedilly - I've got everything crossed for you! Those internet cheapies are no good for me. Not had a positive on them yet.

Really hoping it's a lot darker on the weekend. Would love to give my OH a test that looks very very positive. 😂

Going to do a CB digital on the weekend as well. Fingers crossed this little one sticks around. Xx

lavenderbluedilly · 20/12/2018 13:46

Thanks, I hope it all works out for you too Flowers

beibikeiks · 20/12/2018 16:38

@Langpants Yes, tracking, OPKs, Conceive +, acupuncture... The whole shebang. Not the whole time through because I had a very bad unexplained uterine bleeding for a few months, with very long periods and sporatic cycles. But I think I might just stop all tracking for now until I see a doctor. Take a little break 😊
Have you tested again?

@goldflakepaint Thank you 😊

beibikeiks · 20/12/2018 16:41

@Langpants Sorry, just saw the test now! Must not have refreshed! I'm glad the line is still there 😁 You're still only 10dpo, so I'm sure it will get darker now everyday. Fingers crossed, really hoping this will turn into a lovely dark line for you!

Langpants · 20/12/2018 18:46

@beibikeiks - wow. You've been through it. Good that you're having a break. Poor you. :( It's so much pressure.

I have tested again. Lol. Xx

2WW anyone??
beibikeiks · 20/12/2018 18:50

@Langpants YES! So happy for you! That's definitely getting well stronger 😁
