BFP or AF due 19th January

[Soexciting]

Really enjoyed being on the Christmas day testing thread even though I was out before the 25th. I thought it would be good to start another thread for peoplw to join me in the TWW since the January buses are such a long period and some people are 14dpo and some like me are counting down the hours to the TWW. I ovulate on Friday 4th or Saturday 5th. Opks are very low at the moment but hoping to catch a surge. Still trying to DTD everyday (we are newlyweds), keep forgetting to take our vitamins and to use preseed but hoping just to get lucky on our second cycle.

Guys these ICs are super un sensitive! 😂 Either that or I'm really not pregnant at all!

Given the FRERs and your nausea, I don't think you have anything to worry about - it has to be that the ICs are crap!

Thank you for posting that though - I'm using a different brand of ICs, but your post prompted me to look up some reviews and most people are saying that they only got a positive when their period was a week late So I'm feeling better about this morning's BFN!

Congratulations, @GMB2000!

@ohio91

My IC are coming up the same but I'm just going to believe the 4 first response ones I've done. I'm not going to test with them anymore because they upset me ha.

Myou friend and cousin told me it to weeks past AF to get a good positive on the IC.

@jingleallthequack @user258 yeh I really wish I hadn't bought the ICs lol they make me feel quite anxious about the whole thing! Got a pack of two digitals so fx... Currently doing a pee hold lol. (keep in mind I'm in America and 5 hours behind you guys so I'm not just doing a random pee hold at nearly midnight lol) I had a look my one of my fertility apps and honestly I think I may have ovulated about 2 days after I originally thought I did which would only put me at 12 dpo today. Still no sign of AF so that's promising. Wishing away the next hour so I can pee on a digital and settle my mind!

@glowingtwigs oh that is frustrating!!! At least now you can keep it for fmu!

Well ladies - first response rapid result and clear blue digital! Feeling a lot more calm about the whole thing. Fx for everyone else. I really hope we see some more BFPs in here!!

Ladies apologies for jumping on your thread but I need help/advice/someone to stop me going crazy.

Af was due 6 days ago and didn't appear, we dd the deed once without precaution as I thought I was in the clear. Since at hasn't shown I have had nausea every day, and in the last day a pulling sensation in my abdomen feeling boiling hot every so often and yesterday only had cold chills, also feeling hungry but can't eat. However I have also come down with a cold very suddenly (came from no where one night) also suffering headaches. Have done alot of walking in the past 5 days and working on my planking.

Have done 5 tests so far all bfn, this would be my second baby.

Since have dc1 my cycle was all Over the place but in the last 4 months it has been like clockwork 5 days between 28 to 30 daya apart.

Can anyone help me decipher if there is something going on and I am testing too early or if perhaps there is something else wrong with me ? Af taken a little vacay this month maybe? Physcosamatic symptoms because I have gone mad?
Feel like I am going insane and lying here awake every night isn't helping

Thanks all.

@imgoingslightlymad hey, wow yea i can see why you are feeling a little confused, i think the quickest way to clear things up would be to go to the doctors for some blood test that should confirm either way about pregnancy. did you try a first response test? the only other things i can think of right now if it isnt to do with prenancy then: have you been stressed lately or have you lost a lot of weight recently? i know these two things can cause a period to not appear.

Ihope being on here to talk helps ease your mind a bit, although as i said id say call the docs, this morning even as soon as they open just to get it sorted quickly so you can rest at night.

I did another test this morning just been using boots own brand and still negative. Woke up again feeling sick with hot flushes.

If I didn't ovulate until about the 3rd jan (which would have been later than expected but when we dtd) would it show yet?

With my first it happened so quick and the test showed first time I did it but I can't remember when i did the test /how long after etc.

Told dh what you suggested @foreverthe2ww going to phone doc to make an appointment for early next week, do another cheaper and clear blue test this weekend so if they don't show anything I can go to doc to work out what is going on

Fed up of feeling unwell with no reason. This feels the same as my first dc but i am starting to think it's all in my head

@iamgoingslightlymad ok so if you were due 6 days ago that means on the 11th of jan you were due? .. ovulation happens two weeks before you get your period, so the 3rd would mean its only been a week since you ovulated .. so is it possible you have miscalculated when you are due on or maybe when you ovulated or i might be be misunderstanding the dates. x

I should have come on around the 11th, previous was 13th Dec. I worked out I should have ovulated before the 3rd so would be ok to dtd without any problems? But maybe I have got it wrong?

I don't mind either way. We were going to try for another this year anyway just not this soon but I can't stand feeling ill without knowing why and i have got my head round being pregnant so tying myself in knots

@iamgoingslightlymad well its definetly possible if the timing was right even if you only did it once, it only takes one lil sperm :) .. I would suggest trying a first response as a lot of people on here seem to of had negatives with cb and boots own when they are because they are not as sensitive as other tests. boots own is 25mui so not very sensitive. so yea, try again tomorrow with fmu with a first response and if nothing still then leave it for a couple of days and test again, or/and go doc this morning is maybe a good idea to if you are a week late with no result, it could help to ease your mind. fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you. Will try one of those and see what happens.

Just want to stop going around in circles. Will see when I can get a doc appointment like most surgerys they can be quite difficult!

It's amazing how our bodies work. For the past 18 hours I have felt a bit off and getting really down like it wasn't going to be my month. Woke up in an absolutely horrible mood, really down and fed up, just been to the toilet and there AF is paying me a visit, 4 days early. I'm at work so trying to hold it together but just feel utterly shit and in some ways so alone even though I'm surrounded by people.
@ohio91 congrats with your BFP, hope a few more of you get yours very soon.

@sal1987 I am so sorry AF got you, I am hoping that it is not AF but actually IB but I don't want to give false hope... 4 days is very very early for AF.
TTC is such a lonely thing it's so hard to talk about. You always have all of us to talk to.

Sorry to hear AF got you @sal1987 - treat yourself this week and we are all here to listen you’re not alone.

@sal1987 .. I know exactly how you feel, you are definitely not alone, .. try to think of it like this though, you are now on cd1 so very soon it will be time to dtd, .. you could distract yourself with getting ready for this next egg, ... treat yourself to a little indulge tonight but also buy vitamins etc for tomorrow which is a new day and cd2 already. xx

AF got me too @sal1987 1 day late. It's so rubbish isn't it? I know how you feel. I'm struggling at work too. Just trying to think that this is one cycle closer to when I do get a BFP, hopefully soon.
It's likely I'll get pregnant again one day right ladies? Starting to lose hope and thinking that the pregnancy in August was just total luck that won't happen again.

Thanks everyone. I did think it maybe IB (after spending far too long on google looking at every symptom for it going) and there is a chance it could be based on the colour but I don't want to get my hopes up either!! I'm going to wait till Saturday night, drink a bottle of wine, eat absolute shit and then jump back on the saddle ready for the next month!!
This is the loveliest group I have been on, everyone is so supportive so hope it carries on for us bfn people for next month!!

@glowingtwigs it's utter shit!! Especially being at work having to put on a brace face!! Keep going, we are over half way through the day!!
You will get pregnant, just stay positive. Have you been to the doctors? That's going to be my next thing because I can't keep going through these emotions each month!!

I have been to the doctors @sal1987 had day 2 and day 21 tests, DH having semen analysis done this week. My day 21 progesterone was good, showing ovulation but my fsh was dodgy at 9.7, can be an indicator of low egg reserve but might just be because I'm nearly 38... but doesn't feel good.

Cycle 8 next month, but 6th since mc so I've taken early action... just want to be pregnant so badly and it's making me SO anxious. Doc said wont refer me to fertility clinic yet as not been trying long enough and we know I can get pregnant! Just wish I could see in to the future!

Not too long left of the working day... nearly lunchtime! I hope you start to feel better soon xx

It’s very hard to keep a brave face - lucky for me I am not in the office today so it’s just me and my disappointment at home today! time for me!

I am turning 40 this year so really feeling the pressure to fall PG with #2 before then.

Well af turned up at work 6 days late :( I wasn't expecting to be pregnant but still feel disappointed and sad. Big hugs for everyone else today.

Does anyone know what that means for my cycle... have been on the mini pill so no periods for some time so have forgotten how it works. Does this mean my cycle has been pushed back by 6 days for the future or will I just have a shorter time between visits from af?

Have made the decision to not try again for number 2 until June. Thank you for all your support ladies x

Sorry to hear that we are starting to get some visits from AF. Cake and Wine then start getting your bodies ready for a BFP next cycle!

I keep thinking AF has arrived but TMI it is just a lot of CM very clear and wet, sometimes like EWCM so no idea what this means! CD27 and usually between 25 and 31 days. I did an IC but BFN but that was on a short hold and quite diluted wee so hopefully I'm not out yet!

This group is great, especially when you don't want to share your TTC journey with friends and family it does feel like a very lonely time!

Keep the faith ladies! Our time is coming! Xx

So turns out being upset earlier has pretty much now turned into pure anger!! I'm angry at the world for everything, I'm angry at my body for not being able to just connect with one stupid sperm and I'm angry with myself for being so angry!! I know the fog will lift at some point and I will feel so stupid with myself for feeling this way but PMS is an absolute bitch!! I can't even bring myself to tell DP about AF but I'm just snapping at him as just breathing is annoying me tonight 😂😂😂!!!

I'm sorry for my outburst, it does feel a bit better to type it out but now it's time to get myself to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow!!
