Anyone get a BFP after BFN

I'm approx 9dpo and have been having lots of twinges and pinching on my right side, been very very tired so decided to test today and got a BFN.....

Anyone had this and then gone on to get BFP? Or am I out this month?

Sorry been trying for 9 months and getting restless 🙄

@Gigi318 we're the same, you can drive yourself crazy each month with what that pinch was or did that cramp mean something so it's really nice to be able to hear other people are going through the same!
After being in here you think there so much I just didn't know! 😂

@Cabbiefix that's exactly it. I'm just soaking up all the information and I'm blown away by what our bodies do. If mine is currently moving about and making room for a little baby, I'm just flawed by that! Either that or my back is growing or something 🤣

Hi Ladies!
I thought I'd join in...
I promised myself after my last miscarriage (May) - it was my 3rd one that I would never test early! But what have I done this month...tested at 10dpo, 11dpo and today at 13dpo and all are BFN's! Have sat on the sofa feeling sorry for myself! Why do I do it to myself! Just to make matters worse my bestie's hubby's just called to announce she's had a little boy! The other bestie had a little girl last week so I feel like absolute rubbish right now!

Gigi318 · 13/09/2019 18:18

Oh sweet @HoldingOn2Hope don't be too hard on yourself. All of the lovely ladies in here do I - I'm on cycle one so not tempted yet. But I won't hold my breath. You're just excited. When is AF due? Do you think you nailed ovulation this month? Sometimes things line up and it feels like the world just isn't working with us, but it may be. Keep that hope. Is AF due this weekend? Are you having any symptoms? Sending lots of virtual cuddles and baby dust to you 💫🤞🏻

HoldingOn2Hope · 13/09/2019 18:30

@Gigi318
Thank you for your msg. AF is due tomorrow/Sunday and I'm sure the witch is on her way hence why I feel so low.
I tested ovulation and thought I'd definitely nailed it but looks like I'm wrong. These 2ww's are awful :(

Trying93 · 13/09/2019 18:52

Fingers crossed for us all this month.

@holdingon2hope sorry to hear about your miscarriages. Nothing worse than people announcing they are pregnant or have given birth. Your happy for them but kinda jealous at the same time

HoldingOn2Hope · 13/09/2019 19:09

@Trying93
I know it's the worst thing ever!
The 3 of us have been best friends for 25 years and spend a lot of time together so it's not like I can even avoid them for a while.
Life just feels very unfair right now.
The bestie who's had the little boy is also married to my cousin so you can imagine the convo on the family group chat right now! 🙄

Cabbiefix · 13/09/2019 19:29

@HoldingOn2Hope I know exactly how you feel, my friend, close cousin and woman who I work closely with have all just announced their pregnancies, it's not that your not happy for them at all but it does sling a bit, even more so after you have experienced miscarriages ❤️

But we have to keep trying and our time will come 🥰

@Cabbiefix
Thank you for your msg.
I really hope so. I just wish it was this month but I guess we just have to keep trying again.
I know this is dramatic but every period each month feels like a miscarriage. Like a missed opportunity for that teeny egg to get fertilised. I'm 37 so don't have age on my side either.

Gigi318 · 13/09/2019 21:06

@HoldingOn2Hope perhaps - that dip in hormones in the worst. I hate feeling emotional because of hormones! Keeping 🤞🏻 crossed for you that doesn't come. The wait really is the worst. Every day seems so long!

That sucks about the closeness of your bffs, should be a good thing but it's so hard. My bestie caught right away and hated pregnancy, that's also tough to listen to! So true about every period, because you never know if an egg did catch but not stick, or anything else!

Great positivity @Cabbiefix - you're right, our time will come!

Trying93 · 13/09/2019 21:39

@HoldingOn2Hope I totally get how you feel. Two of my close friends have had a baby in the last year and both got pregnant on first month of trying.

Its not dramatic at all. When I know my period is due I hate going to ths toilet. I dread seeing blood on the tissue. Brings back my miscarriage even though I know its completely different

HoldingOn2Hope · 14/09/2019 08:02

@Gigi318 ah tell me about it, at the beginning they would both go on an on about how they hated pregnancy symptoms and how they hated taking the pregnancy vitamins blah blah and this was literally a few weeks after my miscarriage. I didn't say anything at first as I didn't want to come across bitter however it got to the point where I told them how insensitive they had been. They agreed and things have been better.

@Trying93 totally how I feel. Some days I'm okay and other days I can't seem to focus on positivity and end up spending the day crying.

Gigi318 · 14/09/2019 09:29

@HoldingOn2Hope good for you saying something, that really is insensitive! As symptoms might be a pain but you'd welcome them to have a sticky 💫 Hoping all is well for you. Any sign of AF?

Cabbiefix · 14/09/2019 14:51

Sorry ladies, my AF just turned up... I had convinced myself this was our month so just gutted right now.

This is now 10 months of trying and I can't lie it's really getting me down...

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 14/09/2019 15:22

@Cabbiefix sorry to hear that lovely. I can't imagine how you feel. Be kind to yourself, get a takeaway and relax tonight or something. You might be out of the round, but there's always next month 💖🤞🏻 this time next week you can get the opks going and see what happens. Lots of love xxx

HoldingOn2Hope · 14/09/2019 15:46

The witch has arrived for me too 😭😭😭 explains the extremely low mood yday!
I still had that tiny bit of hope even though I'd had negative tests for the last few days! The only positive is that I can feel normal for the next 10days and my anxiety levels wont be as high.
I think takeaway and some chocolate sounds good :)
@Cabbiefix we should be ovulating at the same sort of time so can keep each other motivated and positive! Next month will be our month 🤞🏽

Cabbiefix · 14/09/2019 16:03

Thanks @Gigi318 your possitivity really does help 🥰

@HoldingOn2Hope yes our cycles seem to be the same so will be nice to give each other little boosts! Especially during the dreaded two week wait again 😂

I do honestly believe all of our times will come, even though it can get you down sometimes, stay strong everyone xx

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 14/09/2019 16:20

@HoldingOn2Hope that's the spirit and like you say, when AF does arrive you do get that relief and lose symptoms. So there's a very small plus! And yes, have a really lovely evening - you deserve it. Nothing like a takeaway and good film to chill you out a little!

@Cabbiefix yay you can be ov pals. What sort of date would that be? End of Sept? Not too long to wait 🤞🏻 they certainly will babe. When it's meant to be, the right little bean will be yours and you'll look at them and glad it took a while to get that special little baba 💫

Trying93 · 14/09/2019 22:18

@HoldingOn2Hope @Cabbiefix gutted for you both but stay positive and try again next month

Gigi318 · 15/09/2019 12:40

Happy Sunday ladies, how is everyone today? X

Trying93 · 15/09/2019 15:51

@Gigi318 iv had some spotting today which I dont usually get but im guessing my period will come later or tomorrow.

How are you?

Gigi318 · 15/09/2019 16:19

@Trying93 you're due in the next few days, aren't you? Maybe its IB? Ever the optimist! But if it's AF, next month is still a possibility! I'm good thank you chick, actually feel 'normal' today which is a good feeling! X

Trying93 · 15/09/2019 16:39

@Gigi318 if my period isnt here tomorrow it will be the latest its ever been.

Your so positive. I think I would be kidding myself on saying its implantation bleeding. Dont want to get my hopes up. Im surprisingly calm tho.

Good to hear your not stressing

Gigi318 · 15/09/2019 16:49

@Cabbiefix oh wow, quite late already then? How many dpo are you? Sorry, you've probably already told me.

I am, I am - but it's just how I am with everything. I try to see the positives in as much as I can so as not to get too bogged down with things. Positive thinking serves me well. Oh lord, I sound so fruity saying that 🤣 but I promise I am normal. Well, a little haha!!! Glad your calm, it's good for you x

Trying93 · 15/09/2019 17:14

11 or 12 dpo. My cycle is usually 28-30 days and today is day 30. Going to test Tuesday if it's not here but iv got a feeling it's on the way.

Im usually like you but after trying so long it's hard to be positive. Your positivity has been good this month 😊
