11DPO and still getting BFN :( is there still a chance this cycle?

I’ve been testing since 8DPO and have had consistent BFN and a couple of evap lines. Since we BD I’ve had consistent cramping - particularly bad around the time implantation would be happening but I’m worried I’m looking for symptoms! Has anyone else got their BFP after 11DPO? I feel like I’m going mad!

@halfpenny28 I will keep my fingers crossed for you. If not we have next month and hopefully being at home will help us relax.

I am ok I had really sharp unusual pains yesterday it was really odd and stopped me in my tracks. Lasted on and off for about 40 mins.

God knows what that was but it was weird xx

HalfPenny28 · 15/04/2020 19:58

@rosie990 AF just turned up this evening so having a cocktail and a mope then will get ready for the next cycle.

Got my fingers crossed for you though my lovely 💕🥰

@HalfPenny28 sorry for poking my head in but just wanted to give you a heads up that they don't recommend you take evening primrose oil during the TWW as it causes uterine contractions and could prevent implantation.

HalfPenny28 · 15/04/2020 21:13

@Juno231 oh thank you!! 🥰 luckily I only started taking a day or two ago so don't think it would of had any effect this month but I absolutely wouldn't of known for our next cycle!

Do you know if it's okay to take otherwise outside of the tww? Xx

Juno231 · 15/04/2020 21:53

@HalfPenny28 from what I gather it's safe up to TWW and then during TWW you can swap for flaxseed oil? Best double check the latter though, but definitely safe during your follicular phase. Best of luck! X

Kirl1988 · 18/04/2020 16:30

Hey :) sorry to jump in on your post but need people to talk to. Im currently 5 days late did a test today and was negative ☹️ trying to conceive is stressing me out now!

HalfPenny28 · 18/04/2020 17:31

Hi @Kirl1988 🙋🏼‍♀️ no need to apologise 🥰sorry you're having a tough time 🥺 are you keeping track of when you ovulate? Could it have been off the last cycle?

I know what you mean - I'm totally fed up too! Just got to keep pushing on and know that one day it will happen!

How long have you been trying? Xx

OP posts:
Kirl1988 · 18/04/2020 17:51

I've only really been trying three months and I use an app to track when I ovulate and should have ovulated around two weeks ago

rosie990 · 18/04/2020 18:37

@kirl1988 random question but when did you come off contraception? I found it took awhile to regulatemy periods.fingers crossed you get the answers you need soon. Are you going to test again?

@halfpenny28 my period came today earlier than expected according to my app but online with when I suspected I ovulated. So I think iam finally regulating to a 30 day cycle again. Onto the next month.

Xx

Kirl1988 · 18/04/2020 18:48

Rosie I've been off contraception for about a year but I knew it took a few months for it to come out my system so I never tracked my periods until about three months ago. My periods have been on time every month except for last month when I had a period twice so I'm thinking have I not come on this month because of that

Kirl1988 · 21/04/2020 09:58

Just an update got my af this morning ☹️ guess will have to try again next month, can I ask what ovulation tests you use?

rosie990 · 21/04/2020 11:10

@kirl1988 I am sorry to hear that. I dont use them I got too obsessed. I am using conceive plus and soft cups during my fertile period xx

HalfPenny28 · 24/04/2020 08:01

@rosie990 sorry to hear AF showed 😢 but the small positive is that you have a regular cycle now 🤞🏼

Lucky number 8!

I'm now waiting to ovulate sometime between Tuesday or Wednesday I think 🤔 using two lots of opks this month 🤦🏼‍♀️

OP posts:
rosie990 · 24/04/2020 09:50

@halfpenny28 I am keeping my fingures crossed this month. Let's hope we do it.

I dont know whether we are dtd enough of to much. Last month we dtd 5 times in my fertile window but should I do it less.

Just dont know xx

HalfPenny28 · 26/04/2020 16:29

@rosie990 I think I've ovulated earlier than expected this month! Got a static face on CB and a peak on my OPK today 🤦🏼‍♀️ so DTD twice today as I fear we've now missed it!

Going to try again tomorrow in case I can catch it but not hopeful that it's worked out this cycle - couldn't believe it 🤦🏼‍♀️

How's everything going for you? Xx

OP posts:
rosie990 · 29/04/2020 16:18

@halfpenny28 how are you feeling? Fingers crossed you caught the big o 🙂

I hope this month is our month. I am starting to get fertile cm and expecting to ovulate around sunday/monday

Just trying not to stress and started training in the house to keep fit and sane during lockdown

Here is hoping to this being our month xx

rosie990 · 01/05/2020 08:16

@halfpenny28 discovered a slight issue with our attempts to fall pregnant.

Read an article last night about men who take protein skakes for work out recovery

My other half is bulking so has two shakes a day along side weights and working out.

Now he is upset that he has lowered his sperm count and how long it can take to repair any damage.

Luckily I have a 16oz steak in the fridge to keep him happy but what if it has been the reason we havent got pregnant yet xx

HalfPenny28 · 05/05/2020 18:43

@rosie990 oh my love 😢 please try not to worry about things like that - I've read so many bits and pieces over the last 8 months about things you should do, things you shouldn't and in all honesty I really don't think any of them make a massive difference in the end.

If you are concerned you could maybe have a chat with GP to see or ask a nutritionist maybe? Good can be your worst enemy sometimes.

I freaked out the other day because I ate some Philadelphia! And I'm not even pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'll be testing in the next couple of days but just don't feel it's our month this month. And I'm starting to lose track of what cycle I'm on 😔 I think my next one will be 9?

How are you feeling otherwise? Xxx

OP posts:
HalfPenny28 · 07/05/2020 17:54

@rosie990 just tested and another BFN for me.

I guess it's onto cycle 9.

Hope you're okay xx

rosie990 · 07/05/2020 18:37

Hi @halfpenny28 sorry about the delay. Working from home with a toddler is very hard. I feel so bad for him.

I am sorry to hear of your negative I hope you get your positive next month.

I joined a group on facebook with woman giving psychic readings. I got two readings and both said june/july will be prominent in my journey. If you want the link direct mail me :-)

However, I am ovulating today so I am still going to try.

I just feel disheartened. I thought being at home would help but I dont hold out any hope again.

Xx

HalfPenny28 · 07/05/2020 19:10

@rosie990 oh that would be amazing! How do I direct mail you?

I feel exactly the same 😔 I just keep thinking I've got to just keep looking forward but it's so hard.

rosie990 · 07/05/2020 19:16

@halfpenny28 that's a point it doesnt let you. Here is the link

www.facebook.com/groups/420954971799813/?ref=share

Hopefully it works xx

HalfPenny28 · 09/05/2020 16:29

@rosie990 thank you 😘 I had a ready today and got another one tomorrow. Today's said I'd conceive in August and have a little girl. I'm so so hoping they're right. I'll wait and see what the other reading comes back as but thank you for sharing the link.

Howre you feeling? I think AF is on the way early for me today. Started spotting about an hour ago but not due till Monday.

The sooner it starts the sooner we can get going on the next cycle I suppose!

OP posts:
rosie990 · 09/05/2020 16:35

That's awesome @halfpenny28 who did your reading I had amy and jade. Hoping to book in another reading soon.

We can only keep our fingers crossed but having the readings certainly gave me some comfort.

I am ok thanks enjoying the sunshine. We dtd every day for past 8 days bar tuesday so hope I havent missed my ovulation period.

Aww I am excited for you. Do you feel better after having the reading xx

HalfPenny28 · 09/05/2020 19:54

@rosie990 I had the same! I'm getting jaded reading tonight.

It has made me a feel a little less stressed so either way it must be good!

I was hoping my spotting was a late implantation bleed today but I think AF is started which has gutted me a bit but I kinda knew it, just never want to fully accept it!

Going to stop using opks and just DTD every other day and see if that works. Take the pressure off a bit.

I'll let you know when I hear back from Jade 🙂
