@BostonFern thank you! Sorry to hear AF arrived 😔 hopefully next month will be your month. I’m also due today and the cramps have started so I’m expecting it’ll start tonight 🙄 I’ll also be moving onto cycle 3.

@LuckyPenguin
I agree! It’s so hard each month when you’ve felt like you’ve done all that you can! I really can’t believe how people have a baby by accident! I’m so jealous 😫
I hadn’t read that before, so wasn’t aware. I had December off trying after I’d finished the pill at the end of November but started trying in jan.
I’ve started getting cramps so I’m sure AF is coming. I was trying to hold off testing until maybe Wednesday just in case as I’m worried about getting my hopes up. Haven’t bought any tests yet or I’d have given in 🙈
Are you using ovulation tests each month? Or an app or anything?

OhMarnie · 25/02/2019 18:22

@MrsLBear I'm so so sorry to hear that 😞 sending lots of love 💕 I'm sure your next BFP is just around the corner

Hannah192 · 25/02/2019 18:27

@MrsLBear I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending my best wishes to you 💐

LuckyPenguin · 25/02/2019 18:28

@MrsLBear - I am so so sorry to hear this. I always believe everything happens for a reason, but find it hard to swallow at times like this!

@Hannah192 I use OPKs from Amazon every day from end of period until I get a positive then it goes back down again, I use the GLOW app & preseed. What do you use?

Hannah192 · 25/02/2019 18:47

@LuckyPenguin I haven’t really 🙈 I’ve just been putting my dates and cycle length into google to work out my fw but still dtd every other day for the rest of the cycle (sorry if tmi!)

FlapJackered · 25/02/2019 18:47

Thank you for all your lovely messages ❤️ I have started bleeding a bit more so I think I probably sadly won't have to wait the two weeks for the scan. 😢

@MrsLBear I hope you're doing ok. It sounds like you are getting through this horrible time like the strong woman you are. ❤️ I am ok but feel like I have been given hope again and now it's going to be like going through it all again. The scan is booked for 8th but I am going to call them tomorrow and tell them about the bleeding and see what they say.

@Fuiseog I had a bfn on 12dpo and a positive on 13dpo. The same happened to another graduate of this thread so it's not over yet!

@KatBeCool I am a cgi artist so can hide myself a bit away from the world which is helpful at the moment. Keeping my fingers crossed for you this cycle x

LuckyPenguin · 25/02/2019 18:59

@Hannah192 - one thing I've learnt since TTC - nothing is too much information! 🤣 well my app got my ovulation two days early (I'm 27/28 day cycle and ovulate roughly day 16, not 14. So felt sure it would be good this month - but no...😔

TrashKitten10 · 25/02/2019 20:43

@FlapJackered @MrsLBear You two gave been through so much, I admire your strength.

@orangeloo boo BFN! Fx it turns into a positive

@thumper59 is it sinking in yet?

@PinkFizz19 Your symptoms sound hopeful! I know what you mean about trying not to get your hopes up, it's so hard though!

@KatBeCool pleased your temperature has gone up :)

@JellyBaby666 That's really annoying how your OH's job might rule you out. Hopefully your dates may change a bit and you might manage to wangle it.

@Hannah192 Welcome! Any sign of AF today?

@LuckyPenguin Gutted for you, after all those positive signs

@BostonFern that's so disappointing, I was really hopeful for you :(

First day back at school after half term and, oh my goodness, I ache everywhere! I think I sat on my arse on mumsnet for too long on my week off and forgot how to move 😂 my back, hips and legs are so achy 😩 I want to report sore boobs and tummy, not bloody back, hips and legs. Stupid body!

@Lozzlepop thanks, lovely! I'm excited!

@BostonFern thank you hun! It's very different to drive from my old car, but my dog absolutely adores it! Sorry to hear about AF...

@LuckyPenguin that's the attitude, girl! Love it!!

@MrsLBear omg, I'm so sorry to hear your news! I'm afraid I have nothing to offer other than virtual hugs... you come back to us whenever you're ready! Xx

@FlapJackered I'm sorry my lovely... I can't imagine what you're going through right now! You've got our love and support as and when you need it xx

BostonFern · 25/02/2019 21:03

I am so sorry for your loss @MrsLBear xx

Thanks @TrashKitten10

Lola871 · 25/02/2019 21:08

I was away all weekend and missed the BFP! Congrats @thumper, super happy for you!!

So sorry to hear your news @MrsLBear, I know there's nothing anyone can say to help you feel better but we're here if you need to get anything off your chest!

thumper59 · 25/02/2019 21:24

@Fuiseog Thankyou so much, i hope things are looking up for you, you could always be in the lesser percent! Did you know when you ovulated? If your cycles are a bit unpredictable maybe you ovulated late. Fingers crossed for you x

@BostonFern Sorry about AF. She's a cow. good luck for your next cycle xx

@MrsR16 glad things are looking up for you!! Enjoy the motor!

@MrsLBear I'm so sorry for your loss 💕

@TrashKitten10 I'm keeping everything tightly crossed for you!! Going back to work is killer. It's sinking in a little Thankyou I just don't wanna get carried away but I defiantly am 😂 OH is throwing names out all over!

@Lola871 Thankyou so much! I hope your well.

MrsH497 · 25/02/2019 22:03

So sorry for your loss @MrsLBear x

EssJayyCee · 25/02/2019 22:20

Sorry for your loss @MrsLBear

What cycle is everyone on TTC?
Does anyone too BBT Charting?

Hannah192 · 25/02/2019 22:31

@LuckyPenguin no I guess there isn’t 😂 So frustrating! I have everything crossed for cycle 3 for you 🤞🏼
@TrashKitten10 no sign yet! Trying not to get my hopes up at the moment
@EssJayyCee I’m on cycle 2. What cycle are you on? I don’t do BBT charting

EssJayyCee · 25/02/2019 22:41

@Hannah192 I will be starting my first cycle in March.

If AF comes roughly when it did last cycle I should be due two days before my holiday (typical) on the 8th March. So after that AF will be when we start! Eek!

I starting BBT charting just to see if there was any kind of pattern and to find out if/when I ovulate because of my irregular cycles.

In the last 7 months I've had 5 cycles ranging from 18-64 days! So it's going to be a long and bumpy road for me I think! Sad

IoMoon · 25/02/2019 22:45

@EssJayyCee I do bbt and it works really well for me, in that it always pinpoints ovulation and exactly 12 days later my AF arrives, irrespective of the length of the cycle. But it only works if I don’t sleep in on the weekends!

KatBeCool · 25/02/2019 23:25

@FlapJackered oh no :( even with the worst outcome, the limbo is even worst. Maybe you can ask for a blood test to check your hcg? At least you'll know sooner.

@BostonFern sorry AF arrived.

@TrashKitten10 the temp rise came with my usual insane hunger. I told DH that I'm hungry literally after dinner. He finds it amusing.

@MrsLBear I'm so sorry, hun. But you're right, saying it out loud (or in writing) might help finding peace sooner.

BabySquid · 26/02/2019 06:44

@MrsLBear I'm so sorry to hear about that. And @FlapJackered what an emotional rollercoaster you must be on.
@EssJayyCee I'm currently on cycle 10, CD31, 12DPO, AF due Thursday/Friday. I used to BBT but stopped everything for a sort of break in November and didn't continue with it, but I used OPKs this cycle and pre-seed.🤞🏻
DH said my boobs were looking slightly bigger last night like they were - last time, I'm not very gifted in the boob department so it's fairly easy to notice a change like that. Feeling hopeful for Fridays test.

granddesigns · 26/02/2019 08:20

Made it this far - af due today and no sign of her so far. Have been relatively good, and not tested (except for getting excited at a twinge last week when it was too early probably!) that said, no great symptoms apart from every niggle twinge and ache being something. This week seems to be baby filled already with lots of news, info and updates about friends pregnancy, ttc etc - af is usually like clockwork and returned to normal immediately after stopping the pill. Have felt queasy for a day or so but could just be nerves, stress and an essay deadline looming!

So sorry to read some of the updates on here over the last few days when I have had my own head buried. Sending healing thoughts to those who are hurting and patience to those waiting.

Suspect I will be back by the end of the day and onto cycle 4 but keeping those fingers crossed!

DayDreamer1707 · 26/02/2019 08:38

Morning ladies, it is safe to say I certainly go into hibernation when I am having AF. She has finally gone away now so it is onto the next cycle for me and the OH. This has been the best (I say this loosely) AF I have had since my MMC, no spotting, healthy flow and longer than 2 days, so here is hoping for a positive outcome. I am predicted to ovulate in the next week so time to get the SMEP back into action.

@BostonFern sorry AF arrived, those Asda test should not be in the shops!! I am just finishing AF so looks like we won't be cycle twins this month.

@FlapJackered I am so sorry you are going through this and it has been such a difficult time. Thinking of you.

@MrsLBear so sorry you have gone through this. I suffered a MMC the same as yourself back in October. I should of been 11 weeks also but baby stopped developing at 7 too. Any questions please ask away. I know the must frustrating and painful thing for me was 'Why'. Stay strong x

@BabySquid good luck for testing on Friday and all sounds positive. Hoping for a BFP for you and I may have to invest in some of the pre-seed if it works?

@granddesigns hoping AF does not arrive for you FX

starkid · 26/02/2019 09:13

@BostonFern- aw I'm sorry :( might chuck the Asda tests I've got, ridiculous!

AF has turned up for me today bang on time (at least my app is accurate...). Had textbook pmt yesterday so no surprise at all! Sad

So onto cycle 7! Will use the soya isoflavones on days 3-7 this month and see if they do anything except make me hyper 😂 Only 2 and a bit more months til I can go back to the docs at least Smile

DayDreamer1707 · 26/02/2019 09:23

@starkid yes please throw them!! I got a clear pink line on the Asda test I did. It's awful!! Sorry AF has arrived but good luck for cycle 7 x

Lozzlepop · 26/02/2019 10:07

@LuckyPenguin so happy to hear it wasn't a big bill for you guys

@BostonFern I've just turned 35 recently and was the exact same, thought I would have already had kids by now!

@MrsLBear so sorry to hear your news, sending lots of love your way xx

@MrsR16 glad the pooch has given his seal of approval hehe!

@EssJayyCee Im cycle2 CD7 OV predicted in a week, I don't temp just use OPKs

@granddesigns I hope AF stays away!

LuckyPenguin · 26/02/2019 10:20

@Lozzlepop @BostonFern - seems like we're all in the 1984 club!

I honestly did think I would have kids by now, but didn't meet my husband until I was 28 and wanted to get married first. Did that last year in October (BEST day ever!).

Then foolishly thought I'd 'plan' my pregnancy around school holidays. How pathetic do I feel now 🤦🏻‍♀️ my anxiety means I like to have control of situations...so this TTC malarkey absolutely kills me! 😫
