Had 2 pregnancies in past (2002,2011) ending in MC
Married now for 9years so yeah looking to start a lil family.
Currently 2dpo and wait is already horrendous and symptom spotting is in place 😂

@Lammoshay wow how lovely!! What better way to take ur mind off af.

Another bfn this morning and no sign of af. I'm starting to think I'm just late. What do yas think?

Louise392 · 17/01/2019 07:58

Tested this morning with frer bfn :(
Yet I am nearly throwing up every 5 mins since I got up.
Hope a bfp is on its way as I don't usually feel sick like this every other day in the morning.

hopeful31 · 17/01/2019 08:21

@Louise392 I'm very nauseous this morning. I can't even have my morning coffee, which is like a ritual .
Fingers crossed .

@hopeful31 you have to be preg, No af, feeling nauseous and off your coffee, fingers crossed for you. When you testing again?

I only had a pack of 2 frer so gonna wait til Sunday to do the other one I think, will use one step strips over the next few days I think. Not even a slight line yet,

Got a headache again this morning and last night I had blue veins all over my bbs.

hopeful31 · 17/01/2019 12:22

@Louise392 I'm prob going to test everyday now until af comes . I'm out of patience to wait more than a day lol.

foreverthe2ww · 17/01/2019 13:01

@Louise392 and @hope31 both of your situations do sound promising, i really do have my fingers crossed for you both!

i still have a BFN too and still no symptoms, in fact the hcg strip looked more positive before i bloody peed on it sheesh. Actually i have been super emotional last couple of days but thats a normal af symptom for me, I did also dream about catching fish last night, i had two fishing lines and both caught fish ... that can mean pregnancy but it could just be coincidence too.

Louise392 · 17/01/2019 13:45

I hope so @foreverthe2ww, hopefully we will all get bfp's soon,
your due af the same day as me aren't you, Saturday?

I have been emotional too but that is not usual for me at all, had to hold back the tears a few times the past few days over stupid things i see on tv or hear on the radio that are not all that sad lol.

Ive not heard of that one with the fish, hopefully that is a good sign :)

foreverthe2ww · 17/01/2019 16:16

@Louise392 yea thats right :) .. Oh god yea i know what you mean with crying over things that are not tear worthy haha, crazyness. god damn hormones.

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2019 16:38

Can I join?

Been TTC no 2 for the last 2 years. DS took 18+ months and I have PCOS so waiting for help from hospital - just need to send in a sample from DH To check it's def me thats the issue

hopeful31 · 17/01/2019 16:51

@foreverthe2ww I really hope so. My moods r up and down like a yo-yo .

Wow that is an interesting dream. Could it be that u were just thinking of those double lines so much but I'm hoping that it is ur body's way of telling u .
Maybe we all need red heels like dortathy and click our heels together and it will happen lol

Hi @SleepingStandingUp welcome. Sorry I don't have lots of info on pcos and ttc. Does it really get in the way? Is there anything u can do to help

foreverthe2ww · 17/01/2019 16:55

@hope31 now that would be cool haha.

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2019 17:14

The biggest issue with PCOS is that when you ovulate, the egg doesn't necessarily go anywhere so p u ovulate far less frequently, periods are all over place so harder to track. Option from hospital is pill to cause a bleed then clomid to increase ovulation

hopeful31 · 17/01/2019 21:22

@SleepingStandingUp as if ttc isn't hard enough with out all that! Stay positive xx

hopeful31 · 17/01/2019 22:07

Hi everyone. So still no sign of af. I'm totally exhausted and super nauseous. Does anyone know about cm before af or cm if u r pregnant?? I'm having thick ewcm. Sorry tmi. Any ideas

Louise392 · 17/01/2019 22:46

Hi @sleepingstandingup, sorry to hear that you are having a rough time ttc, i dont know anything about PCOS sorry,

Hi @hopeful31, hubby has had me putting down a new carpet so i ache all over now, my back really hurts, had pains in my right side, hip/pelvis area, again all day (before putting the carpet down) dont know whats going on with that!

I don't know much about cm before af/pregnant wish i did lol. Mine seems to have gone dry today which the ovia app says is usual before af arrives, hope not!

@hopeful
Ah ok so a day late an 20dpo- are you around a 33/34 day cycle?
From everything you have said it’s all pointing to a positive but you possibly should be showing a light + at 20dpo based on if the above is correct, however I’ve also known people get there bfp a few days after missed period so fingers crossed for you.
Have you taken a FR or CB? X

OP posts:
hopeful31 · 18/01/2019 07:32

Yes thats my cycle. It can vary from 30-34. I did a fr on the day I was due and a cb yesterday and today. Again bfn.
Thanks for ur comment xx
I'll just have to wait it out and hope for the best .

Hope ur enjoying the beautiful castle in wales x

hopeful31 · 18/01/2019 07:42

I've also been testing first thing in the morning. Should I wait until second pee? Or afternoon

Lammoshay · 18/01/2019 13:27

@hopeful
I would test both morning and afternoon as if your pregs your hcg levels should be on the up x

hopeful31 · 18/01/2019 16:00

Ur eighth. I should be seeing at least a faint bfp. So I've kind of lost hope at this stage. Must be just a late af
