I’m all over the place, please tell me others feel this way?

[June1987]

Hi All,

We are currently trying TTC number 2, and I thought this time I would be so relaxed but I’m almost worse. We have been trying for a few months and nothing yet.
So far I’m 14/15 DPO and was due on 2 days ago. All I have had so far is negative PT though so don’t think that I’m pregnant unfortunately.

I am however driving myself insane. It’s all I can think about. Keep going to the toilet to check if I’m come on. I’m having cramps now and have been since last night so had a little cry as I’m pretty sure AF is on its way. Please tell me I’m not insane and you guys do and feel the same way sometimes?

It’s horrible isn’t it. I’m definitely worse this time. My first was conceived first cycle so the trying is all new for me. How long did you try for your first? How long have you been trying for your second? I’m now on cycle 6.

With our first I came off the pill in the May but didn’t start trying until October as we got married in the September and I was pregnant by the November so this is kind of killing me.

I’m not sure I can do this every month and it’s only been 3 cycles so far. I’m kind of glad I’m not the only one. Does anyone else keep how many tests they do from their husbands. I don’t want him to think I’ve lost the plot!

Sorry Explorers10 it hasn’t happened for you yet. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for everyone of these threads.

@June1987 you are not alone! I'm exactly the same!! Last month I was 2 days late with bfns... it was the limbo part that upset me the most. When AF finally came I could start looking forward. Still depressing tho. I took 3 different tests but my partner only knows about one 🙈 x

I know how you feel about not being sure you can do this each month, it’s so tough to keep trying and stay positive! I always go back to when I conceived first time and how easy that was and keep comparing. I also sometimes go into panic mode that number 2 won’t happen. However we need to keep going with trying each month and try to keep ourselves occupied with things other than TTC. Easier said than done I know! Good luck, hope you get your BFP soon X

It’s so hard as you said just being in limbo. I don’t think it helps I have long cycles 36-38 days so it seems we have even less chance of getting there.

If only their was a magic wand. I know I should be blessed as I have an amazing 4 year old but can’t help how you feel.

I’m guessing it’s still the case of FR being the most sensitive tests?

Thanks for making me feel less insane everyone. Think I will be needing these boards just to stop me driving myself mad.
