Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

@katie1109 I'm either 10 or 11DPO so still early. Just confusing I got such a stark white BFN on frer this morning but maybe a line on IC. Just going to have to wait like you. It is so hard isnt it!

@Mumofboys17 I thought the same too but only was going off my FRER this morning that was so clearly BFN but had a line yesterday.

I hate this rollercoaster!

Katie1109 · 02/02/2020 15:30

I’m not finding it too bad at all atm. I’m just doing it to avoid heartache x that keeps me in place and away from tests x

Ange211 · 02/02/2020 18:11

@Symptomspotter86 looks like a line to me!!!!

Katie1109 · 02/02/2020 21:17

A bit of brown discharge appeared on when wiping about an hour ago, but nothing since. No cramps or anything. Boobs still sore, weird feeling in my abdomen and quite gassy but nothing that would normally alarm me x for now I’m expecting af to show tomorrow x
14DPO today and CD30. Let’s see what coming days will bring x

hampshirerose34 · 02/02/2020 22:45

Hi all,

Hope you have been well.
Have been ill with Tonsillitis and ear infection for the past week. Been on some antibiotics that make me feel hella sick.

So due to ovulate on 6th not really feeling up to DTD to be honest but OH said we need to and maybe could I try.

Done a OPK today and it's is faint so will try to DTD tomorrow.

Got OB-GYN on the 2nd March for review and bloods so hopefully good change and ovulation for the second month in a row which is good for me.

Fredthespider · 03/02/2020 06:13

Sorry to hear af is on her way @Katie1109 but at least you won’t be in limbo anymore.

@hampshirerose34 hope you’re feeling better soon and manage to get in a little DTD before ovulation. Also not too long to wait until your appointment, fingers crossed that goes well.

I had a bit of spotting yesterday. Currently lying in bed avoiding getting up to see if there is any more. I’m 11DPO today and was planning on testing this morning but I don’t know if it’s just a waste. I might pee in a cup and see how I feel in an hour. Last month I started spotting at 2DPO and carried on until af so this month is a definite improvement so I’ll take it as a win!

Katie1109 · 03/02/2020 06:42

Af arrived in the middle of the night with vengeance x good luck to everyone still in the game x

Ange211 · 03/02/2020 07:28

@katie1109 that sucks :( X

Katie1109 · 03/02/2020 07:39

I don’t even feel disappointed anymore, I was expecting it to arrive. I think I’ve given up months ago. It’s just hard seeing my OH build his hopes up, and then they’re coming crashing down in the middle of the night when my af arrives. Oh well...it’s not a given that all people will have children, maybe we’re just one of them 👍

Mumofboys17 · 03/02/2020 08:30

@Katie1109 sorry to see that this morning lovely 🙁 xxx
Have you contacted the GP at all yet for additional support? Might be time to consider it maybe? If anything to put your mind at ease.
Be kind to yourself, TTC is hard enough without you punishing yourself further ❤️

Katie1109 · 03/02/2020 08:40

@Mumofboys17 we’ve only been trying since June, so GP won’t do anything, I have already asked.
I’m fine, I don’t get disappointed anymore x it is what it is x I just feel sorry for my OH, not bothered about myself anymore x

Mumofboys17 · 03/02/2020 08:54

@Katie1109 I know it's just words but I really, really do understand. It took us 18 very long months to conceive the first time. Really felt like we were just not destined to be parents, then by some miracle it did just happen one lucky cycle.
It makes you feel like you're failing them sometimes doesn't it? Like you're not doing what you're "supposed" to do.
Have faith xxx

Katie1109 · 03/02/2020 08:57

@Mumofboys17 thanks hun x
I thought af will be heavy because cramps were quite strong. But at the moment it’s light, quite dark almost brownish with few clots/tissue but not a lot of blood at all. I just want it to bleed properly so I know it’s definitely af! Although, it can’t be anything else 15DPO can it? Don’t even know why I’m considering anything else - idiot!

Ellsbells112 · 03/02/2020 08:59

@katie1109 sorry to hear af came. Look after yourself today xx

@Fredthespider do you think it's af coming??

I'm 8dpo today no symptoms at all lol thus morning I woke up with tons of watery lotion like cloudy cm, I mean there's a wet patch in my knickers 😂 I was like wtf is that!! But I also know it's not an indicator of pregnancy so taking it as a meh situation.

How is everyone feeling? Happy Monday 😁 x

Beau2020x · 03/02/2020 09:30

@Katie1109 arggghhh so sorry AF came, but at least you have some closure on this cycle and on to the next one! Please pleaseeee try and not get yourself down about it, you WILL be parents it will happen! I honestly believe this whole TTC thing is psychological - you want a baby you don't get one, you chill and 'stop trying' and it happens!

My cousin was trying for 2 years, she had a miscarriage when she conceived straight away and then ended up having IVF 2 years down the line because they couldn't get pregnant again. Anyway, she had her daughter and then fell pregnant again 3 months after having her! She didn't think it would happen. Our bodies are weird things! Honestly tho, I don't know how people just stop trying, it's impossible. I'm debating not doing OPKs this month but at the same time I don't want to miss an opportunity.

Katie1109 · 03/02/2020 09:43

@Beau2020x thanks hun x I got to the point now that I really couldn’t care less. I’m not even sure if I want to keep trying. It just takes over our life and I’m not sure if it’s all worth it. I feel emotionless at the moment and the only thing that hurts is my OHs disappointment which he tries to hide but I can see straight through it while I don’t feel disappointed at all, I was expecting it as always. Our situation is really complicated and I cannot really say it here because its very outing x I think it’s time to give up and move on with life x

Fredthespider · 03/02/2020 10:14

@Ellsbells112 No more spotting, it was a tiny speck around lunch time yesterday. I caved and took a FRER which has showed the faintest "if you squint really hard" line. So faint that the camera struggles to pick it up, but I swear it's there in real life 😂 OH is "not convinced", but he said that last time with number 1, he'd rather I wait to test until Wed (tbh he'd rather I wait until the weekend!!). I will now wait until Wed and will do a CB digital.

Fredthespider · 03/02/2020 10:16

Squint reeeeeealy hard 😂

New thread for the crazy gang part 2!
Katie1109 · 03/02/2020 10:19

@Fredthespider I can see a squinter x fingers crossed for you x

Fredthespider · 03/02/2020 10:23

Thank you @Katie1109! We've been trying since May so I know how devastating it is to go through each month with the heartache, please don't give up on yourself xx

Symptomspotter86 · 03/02/2020 10:28

@fredthespider I can see it! Looks similar to my one saturday! Fingers crossed

@Katie1109 sorry to hear about all this and how you are feeling. I promise you it will happen. My SIL it took 8 years and ivfs but it still happened! Stay strong.

@Ellsbells112 I've had that lotiony watery cm before it is so weird!

Fredthespider · 03/02/2020 10:41

Thanks @Symptomspotter86, have you got more FRERs arriving tomorrow?

Ellsbells112 · 03/02/2020 10:43

@Fredthespider ohhh!! Fingers crossed 🤞 😁😁

OP posts:
Symptomspotter86 · 03/02/2020 10:44

@fredthespider yeah have some arriving today so will test tomorrow.

My weird side cramps were quite bad last night. Feels like it is by my left ovary. Achy boobs today too and a bit nauseous. But could all be signs of AF so not looking too much into it. Just such a headf* getting a BFP followed by BFN.

Ellsbells112 · 03/02/2020 10:45

@Fredthespider I see it!! Whoop whoop xx

@Symptomspotter86 yeah isn't it!! It's thick but watery loool what is that! I saw it and I told myself... Do NOT Google it!! 😂😂 Ahhh I want to test but its too early and I'm probably not 😩🤦‍♀️
