Aw @karenkeys sorry to read this, I'm honestly not too sure. Have you googled it??

I had my hopes up too 😔

We can just keep trying; I like having this support network. Xxxx

@karenkeys yes there's nothing stopping you from trying after a chemical, as your body doesn't retain anything and your first day of bleeding is just classed as CD1.

@RMusic12 is that usually a pregnancy symptom? Sounds familiar! I have nothing like that. Fingers crossed for you. I’m now in fear of my periods coming. Kind of want this weekend to be over already. I’ve no tests left but they are due to be delivered some time today. Will likely test again tonight or tomorrow morning.

karenkeys · 08/02/2020 09:13

@RMusic12 are you still testing with internet cheapies or have you moved to a FRER or something similar?

RMusic12 · 08/02/2020 11:13

@karenkeys I have been using the internet cheapies and getting absolutely nothing 😔
I used a clear blue today and another negative surprise surprise xxx

Aww! I’m still spotting so feel like periods are coming any moment now. No cramps yet though. Waiting until tomorrow to test it they don’t come

karenkeys · 08/02/2020 13:48

Moved from spotting to light bleeding now just as the tests I ordered arrived. I think that’s me out for this month! Keeping my fingers crossed for you still @RMusic12

RMusic12 · 08/02/2020 17:08

@karenkeys gutted for you, I honestly think I'm the same
Xxx

I know it feels like it shouldn't be this hard right?? I’ve got my usual bad period cramps too and still bleeding so 100% AF. The countdown to 4th March begins...

Keep us updated!

Hey Guys!!!

Hope you don’t mind me joining, I’m very new to this. Still a lot to learn.

I came of the pill December 5th and had a withdrawal bleed on the 18th. We are TTC. I’ve since had a period in January and now this week (about 25-26 days cycle) however they are light... I don’t need a pad but when I wee there’s blood about a tea spoon full and on the tissue etc. I believe this is my lining thickening again as the obgyn stated.

I’m struggling to figure out my ovulation .. do you guys have any tips?

Thanks for reading! Best of luck to everyone!!! Xxx

Starstruck57xx · 08/02/2020 17:21

Sorry for the TMI

RMusic12 · 09/02/2020 11:40

So i was out last night and has a drink and has to stop drinking as I thought I was going to be sick,

Woke up during the night feeling rubbish then this morning my mood is horrendous I feel flustered and moody and you know that way like your period is about to come?

Mine was due yesterday and nothing ...
went to pee on the stick this morning and missed hahahahah one of those mornings 😓😓

karenkeys · 09/02/2020 12:39

@RMusic12 you’re not out until it’s here 🤞 . I’m a bit of a wreck today can’t stop tearing up 😢. My period pains are quite bad. It’s like getting some bad news and someone kicking you in the stomach too!

karenkeys · 09/02/2020 12:40

@Starstruck57xx sorry I missed your message - welcome! For ovulation I just use an ordinary period tracker app and keep an eye out for EWCM.

RMusic12 · 09/02/2020 14:21

@karenkeys I'm the exact same, I'm actually on holiday and I can't stop crying. My emotions are all over the place x

OP posts:
karenkeys · 09/02/2020 14:53

@RMusic12 aww that’s a shame, try your best to enjoy it. I’m trying to just focus on March now it’s less than 30 days until the next testing and we might have more luck this time 🍀

RMusic12 · 10/02/2020 18:22

I am 15dpo now, period was due over the weekend, still not came. The last two mornings I have woke up around 3am feeling very sick like had to run to the bathroom but I wasn't sick.
Had Hot flushes and just felt awful.
I slept during the day yesterday and today and I've been away on holiday.

My boobs feel swollen and they are so veiny

I took a test and of course a big fat negative!

What is going on with my body 😔 surely if I was pregnant the tests would of should by now!???

Messing with my head 😔

karenkeys · 10/02/2020 18:32

Aww that’s torture isn’t it! I hope you find out either way soon. My periods are so sore this month my back aches I can definitely tell it’s not a normal period. It’s so sad being reminded it’s a very early miscarriage every time I go to the loo. Just want it to pass so I can focus on March 4th!

Keep us updated and hope you’re feeling better soon.

RMusic12 · 10/02/2020 18:36

@karenkeys have you suffered a miscarriage? 😞sorry to hear you are in so much pain xx

OP posts:
karenkeys · 10/02/2020 18:39

@RMusic12 yeah well it’s a chemical pregnancy but you can call it miscarriage too, just a very very early one! Because I had the positive last Wednesday, it was fainter but still there on the Friday then period on a Saturday means I was pregnant but it has failed ☹️ I don’t think I can test early again as it was such a tease having the positive and then bleeding.

RMusic12 · 10/02/2020 18:41

@karenkeys awc I'm sorry 😞😞😞😞

EmbarrassingMama · 11/02/2020 12:40

@Rmusic12 you seem to be having these pregnancy symptoms every single month since starting TTC. Do you think you might be confusing them with the signs of PMT? Maybe it would help you to feel less upset each month if you focus on some of the symptoms of PMT? It’s really easy to forget what a period can do to you! I haven’t had one in 10 years and It was a real shock to be reminded of the symptoms. I’ve listed them here for you:

• - mood swings.
• - feeling upset, anxious or irritable.
• - tiredness or trouble sleeping.
• - bloating or tummy pain.
• - breast tenderness.
• - headaches.
• - spotty skin or greasy hair.
• - changes in appetite and sex drive

RMusic12 · 11/02/2020 13:30

@EmbarrassingMama

I am very much in tune with my body.

I also am aware of my PMS symptoms,

Just sharing experience and concerns with everyone here as I have been different since coming off the pill.

I know you may think I sound silly but Thanks for the info HmmSmile

I thought from the title of the thread this was OP's first month attempting TTC?
