Feeling pregnant but no bfp yet

Hi ladies,
I've been pregnant before and feeling similar symptoms but AF not due for a few more days. I have tested a few times with different tests, all came back negative. AF is due in 5 days so I tried a clearblue digital but came back negative. I know it might still be early or I might just be imagining my symptoms. Anyone have a similar experience? Did you end up being pregnant or not?

@katy85 congratulations! I am so so happy for you ♥️ I'm having a weepy day today so that set me off all over again 😂 enjoy every second of your lovely bump to be x

Mum637k · 14/03/2019 13:45

@guinicorn enjoy it!! There is something satisfying about having a weepy day in anticipation of pregnancy ☺️

@Pop1234 @Katy85 + everyone I'm only on cycle 2 of trying and I don't know if I can do it any longer!🙈 the not knowing is so stressful , I'm not sure I'm cut out for this 😞

@Mum637k I know how you feel. I've been trying to chase up my recurrent miscarriage results all morning and just terrified something is wrong. I'm such a worrier I hate it. Just feel like going home and peeing on a FRER just for the sake of it 🙄😂

Katy85 · 14/03/2019 14:23

@guinicorn thanks lovely, can't quite believe it yet, 3rd cycle ttc for our second child (he's 5 now)

Keep going everyone, we all know how hard it is, the constant waiting and hoping x

I'm absolutely exhausted today, sitting here at work yawning constantly, and my eyes are sooo heavy, also my lower back is killing me now.

Mum637k · 14/03/2019 17:11

@Pop1234 i hope everything is okay ❤️ were you able to get a hold of them? I got the internet cheapies for this month so if I do waste tests it's not as expensive 😂

@Mum637k - I think I wouldnt feel so stressed if I could tell whether I ovulated or not but i never got a peak on an OPK just that my CM went from very watery to slightly thicker the next day and then back to creamy so I'm guessing that was the day but it means im anywhere between 8 and 11dpo, I'm unsure when AF is due to start, I'm seeing positive signs but just waiting for that crushing blow when AF turns up... sorry to sound so negative, having a really bad day today.

Mum637k · 14/03/2019 20:12

@guinicorn I totally understand, the ttc process is so stressful. When do you expect af? Approximately. If your ccles are regular you might have an idea

@pop1234 hope you ok x

Hope you all have more success than me TTC ladies x

guinicorn · 14/03/2019 20:21

@Mum637k If my cycle is 28 days then it would be this sunday. my last cycle was 27 days so that would make it tomorrow. I had an implant in before that so everything was very irregular.

Mum637k · 14/03/2019 20:25

@Pinksunset1 thank you and hopefully next cycle is the one for you!😊

@guinicorn oh yes so hard to say really. Have you tested yet? 😁

@mum637k of course! 😂 Bfn yesterday morning... x

Mum637k · 14/03/2019 21:17

@guinicorn i hope you get a positive in a day or two!!!😊

Pop1234 · 14/03/2019 21:31

@Mum637k @Pinksunset1 thank you. I've felt really down tonight worrying about my RMC results.

I stupidly did a FRER and it was negative. Obviously it would be I'm only 8dpo and only after an hours hold grrrr. I'm so mad at myself.

Mum637k · 14/03/2019 21:35

@Pop1234 I'm sorry you had such a tough day :( dont be so hard on yourself, anyone would do the same. Your month will come, please hang in there :) It will!

@mum637k thank you! The same to you, lots of luck for your bfp ♥️ xx

Hi, hope you don't mind me joining.

Firstly congrats to all those with the BFP's, this TTC business is driving me a little crazy.

I had a MC in Dec but have been TTC since and have become slightly obsessed since. So my first two cycles since have been fairly regular (30/32 days) but this month what I assumed was AF turned up on day 23. It wasn't as heavy as normal but it did feel like AF and only lasted 4 days (normally 5/6). However since then I seem to still have sore boobs, lower back ache and super tired. I've POAS the last couple of mornings using Home Bargains £1 sticks and got BFN both times but I can't shake these feelings.

Has anybody had something similar and ended with a BFP or do you think I should just move on and get set for the next cycle?

Sorry for the long post.

Pop1234 · 14/03/2019 21:48

Thank you @Mum637k I'm not going to test again now until 12dpo. I have a long weekend off of work and I just want to enjoy it!

Pop1234 · 15/03/2019 08:35

@Mum637k did you test again this morning?

Mum637k · 15/03/2019 08:50

@Pop1234 yes 🙈 no more now till next week, promise! I have an afternoon and a fmu one now plus I'm somewhere between 6-8 dpo so it makes no sense. It's a horrible addiction 😂 plus ic so I don't feel as bad. But there really is no point anymore this week. How are you holding up?

OP posts:
Pop1234 · 15/03/2019 09:35

@Mum637k it is an awful addiction you're right. I don't have any in the house so that's helping the temptation 😂 I'm feeling ok this morning. Keep thinking I've got quite a few symptoms but then I think I did last month too so they mean nothing do they? I'm 9dpo today I think.

Mum637k · 15/03/2019 10:04

@Pop1234 my friend said once you start ttc your body does weird things and your period can change. Basically your mental state affects your body and I definitely think that's true. I had very predictable periods with the same symptoms every month but then last month it chnaged completely in symptoms and timing 😳 now that I actually want to conceive. So yes I think our mind plays tricks on us and maybe even our bodies. We will probably notice symptoms every month, but one of those months will be the one ☺️ it would be great if we could just forget about it, but it's hard when you want to conceive so bad

OP posts:
Pop1234 · 15/03/2019 10:27

@Mum637k our body definitely does play tricks. I wish I could be one of those people that just waits for AF. Is this your first you are TTC?

Mum637k · 15/03/2019 10:35

@Pop1234 me too, I wish I could just wait for AF 🙈 yes, ttc our first. What about you?

OP posts:
Pop1234 · 15/03/2019 10:37

@Mum637k yes this is my first. I know I'm not going to relax when I get a BFP anyway after my 3 miscarriages. I think I'll just feel like we are one step there but lots more steps to go.

Mum637k · 15/03/2019 11:11

@Pop1234 I will also be worried since I had a mc before too 😕 I think we need to keep in mind it's okay to worry about it sometimes but try to enjoy most of it. One of my friends had 3 mc's before she got her rainbow baby. You just never know 😊
