And so the 2ww begins. 15th April count down.

Hello there,

Currently on cycle #5, trying to conveive baby number two (many years after first), and realising ttc is one of the most frustrating tasks I have embarked on.

I had a chemical pregnancy in january which has completely taken all joy out of trying because even if that BFP appears, I do not think I could bring myself to be excited about it.

That being said, there is only one way this is going to happen so on I go with the 'ahem' BD and peeing on ovulation sticks and then pregnacy tests at any given moment.

AF due 15 April, let the obsessing begin..

Oh, and is anybody else actually sick of doing the deed yet (sorry husband)?

Af has made me all weepy, just saw Notre Dame go, and feel so sad.

@sleepyhead11 yes I think I’m out this time, I’m just not feeling it. Been off the pill since November and very regular since then, think this is just a blip. I would just like AF to turn up now so I can get focused on next month (and jump over to the May bus with you!)

Pulling my hair out here. Still no AF 😡

Argh @Novella12 this is awful for you! Are you going to test again?

@peasando not today- can’t handle another BFN!

@Novella12 I know what you mean. Really feel for you, it's the not knowing that's hardest!!

@Novella12 how certain are you on the date you ovulated? Because your luteal phase should be the same each cycle I think.

AF arrived for me on Sunday unfortunately, right on schedule. At least I didn't have to go through any uncertainty though, I didn't even have time to start doing hourly tests!

@charlotte9876 Sorry this month wasn’t your month! Fingers crossed for next month. I’m fairly certain because I was using OPKs - but I may have peaked and then not ovulated until later. I wasn’t temping (can’t hack it 😂). If I did ovulate late then I’m definitely out because of the dates when we DTD. So if AF can hurry up that would be awesome! I caved and did another FRER just now. Of course it was BFN!

Fingers crossed she’ll show her face in the next day or two and I can move on.

Well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you still @Novella12 that AF doesn't show and you just don't have high enough HGC levels yet. This was starting to be a lucky thread so hopefully there's more BFPs to come!

@Novella12 you're not out till AF is in.

For anyone still waiting for AF getting and bfn I thought I’d tell you about my friend who started feeling unwell
She took 5 negative pregnancy tests and it was only confirmed when she went to the doctors about feeling ropey
She now has a very healthy baby

@charlotte9876 @ayslon @comps83 thank you all! I was feeling a bit down after the BFN but I think I need to step back and see what happens now! Luckily I’m back at work tomorrow and I’m sure the kids will stop me from thinking about it! No testing until Friday at the earliest!

And literally just after sending that message, I found myself googling ‘static hair - sign of pregnancy??’. 😂😂

Hahaha!!! And is it a sign of pregnancy @Novella12 ????

@charlotte9876 inconclusive 😂😂

AF came today and a man tried to rob me on the way back from work - just had a chinese, glass of wine and a whole Easter egg. Partners booking us in to get checked out. Deep down I think something is wrong

@headswim oh what a double whammy, so sorry to hear that 🙁 hope the Chinese and wine makes you feel a little better! How long have you been trying for?

Just the worst day!

It's been about 6 months since we decided we wanted to have babies... first two months were half-hearted shot in the dark style, but then more tracking and consideration for timings in the last few... with one month where we couldn't DTD on the right dates.

I know that's a very tiny amount of time compared to some people but I am 36, and he is 35, so I don't want to waste time if there is potentially something wrong.

I will see what the NHS have to say tomorrow, I just want to know if everything's normal or not. I'm going to get a few more supplements this month - ubiquinol and a decent b complex, and him on the Wellman Conception, and pre-seed seems to be worthwhile trying out too. I actually defo did not have have EWCM around ovulation (a few days before I did) so maybe it will help.

anyway I hope there's some more BFPs here xx

Weirdly it's just v v light. Normally it's super heavy.

@headswim I think it’s a good idea to get checked out, there’s probably nothing wrong but at least if they did find something you’ve got time on your side.

I’ve just started on some conception supplements too - we’ll see if it works.

AF still AWOL today. Annoying- I want to get cracking with my next cycle!

@Headswim that's bloody horrible, I'm sorry.

@Novella12 AF is really messing you round, hope it comes soon. Or doesn't and you get a positive pt.

Just an update- AF finally arrived today, so I’m jumping on the May bus!!

@Novella12 so sorry AF came but at least you know what's happening now. Fingers crossed for this month x

@peasando thanks! I’m feeling pretty positive about it - at least I know what’s going on now 😊 hope you’re feeling well!
