Hi all ,

I want some company .... currently in my 10 month of TTC after a miscarriage last March at 14 weeks

Due to ovulate around the 10th so my TWW will start around the 11th

Anyone else in the same boat ? Let's keep each other company

Ps I need support not to test early as drove myself mad last month !

Xxx

I am heartbroken. This is not nice. I wish i could do something. Xx

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 11:39

@Adrianoska I know how you feel have felt it many many times before and I'm sure il feel it again this month . All you can do is try keep yourself busy , stay positive and look forward to trying again next month .

I know it's hard to feel anything but sad when this happens but there isn't anything you can do to change it xxxx

@adrianoska it's hard when you have to build yourself back up mentally to do it all over again, all I can suggest is you find ways that help a little and put them in place each month. Plan for the long haul too- 12 months is normal (my 1st was, and probably take us longer if at all this time) so its more of a happy surprise when it happens than a crushing disappointment each month. Its not easy but you have to find ways of carrying on your normal life too. For me, as others have suggested, keeping busy is best and I try not to let myself spend too long sat still moping as I only make myself feel worse. Easier said than done, but at least on this forum you know there are countless women who know how it feels.

Amazon have ruined my plans Sad my frer subscription wasn't supposed to arrive until next weekend to prevent me testing early but i got a message that's it's arriving today! How on earth am going to hold out?! I have no willpower! Also no symptoms at about 8dpo and I'm sure if I get sore boobs now it will be due to me squashing them to test all the time rather than hormonal!

Adrianoska · 22/02/2020 13:28

Girls...thank you ❤️
My heart is breaking indeed.

I am trying not to go mad but my mind does its own tricks...
I love my husband so much, he loves me so much, I dream of us having a baby together. It is the only thing i want now and I hate this disappointment especially in my husband eyes. Today i cried in the shower so he would not hear me. The pain that only you guys here can appreciate...

I worry that at the age of 36 I am too old or infertile now. I have not been diagnosed with anything and my husband is also a healthy 30 year old. I did everything right last 3 months. We don't drink at all, we don't smoke, we have copious ammount of sex, etc...

But there is another thing... I am now 11dpo and yesterday i was cramping and spotting. I assumed my period came. This morning there was nothing. I tested but of course it was negative. Then i had some more very dark brown discharge. Again I assumed its my period. But it has gone again. Wtf. Why is my body and mind doing this to me? Is it possible that its implantation bleeding?
Jeeeeeezzz! Help.

Love to you all 💗

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 14:25

@Adrianoska it will all be Oki and we all know exactly how you feel x

Sammyclaire22 · 22/02/2020 15:54

@adrianoska the best thing you can do is try to relax! 3 months really is no time at all to have been ttc- there is only a 30odd% chance every month anyway. Stressing raises your cortisol levels which won't help and it's very easy to let ttc take over your life.

Do you track your bbt? If so that will give you a clear answer if you are ovulating and how regular your cycles are. If they are regular then there is no reason to think you are infertile! And 36 isn't too old, I'm almost 35 and assume it will take us 12m plus this time (im 5 month's in already) probably longer as this time I only have one tube, but there is still plenty of hope it can happen for us. Once you hit 6 months then go to the gp for advice- it's why I'm doing bbt and tracking symptoms so if we need referring I have some data about my cycles.

MrsChicken89 · 22/02/2020 16:45

8dpo today, full of a cold and such bad nausea. Ive had a bit of spotting today, so assuming AF is coming in the next few days.
Ive had nausea before AF before so definitely not getting my hopes up.
We're 3 hours away from home in the camper & usually its my happy place, but right now all i wanna do it curl up in bed Sad

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 17:00

@MrsChicken89 aww bless you , there really is nothing worse than being out when you jus want to be home dealing with how you feel. Try have a nap might help ?

Has anyone ever had cramps back ache all the signs AF is coming but then it all suddenly stop 3 days before AF is due ?

Could this be a good sign ?

I usually have cramps and Back ache right up until AF day 2 . But I've had nothing now for nearly 2 days ?

Thinking my body is messing with me and trying to confuse me ! Xxxx

Adrianoska · 22/02/2020 17:13

@Sammyclaire22 thank you 💗
Yes... 3 months is not long yet it doesn't stop me from freaking out. It feels horrible really.

Now I am even more confused as my period hasn't actually arrived, i am just spotting and it never happened before. Obviously now i am hoping for implantation bleeding. Ffs.

I have hope of course. But i am scared because i feel like I am running out of time.

I have two kids from my previous marriage (12 and 6)and even then it took me 6 months each time. But i was young!

Oh hell... It is such an isolating proces. I wish we could just switch on fertility when we need it.

Does anyone here know much about implantation bleeding?

Much mucg love ❤️❤️❤️

Adrianoska · 22/02/2020 17:14

@MrsChicken89 are you sure it's AF? Perhaps implantation instead?

Adrianoska · 22/02/2020 17:16

@Donnat89 l had that!
But i think the more we watch our body the stranger it behaves? Is that possible?

My nipples are sore and tingly. But it could be anything now...

💕

Sammyclaire22 · 22/02/2020 17:54

@adrianoska I know it's horrible Sad and I'm so glad that these forums are around for my journey as I would go insane if i had to keep it to myself.

As for implantation bleeding it's one of the annoying symptoms that can seem like AF- I had it with my first at 10dpo but it was exactly the same as I've had last month (and today!) Unfortunately there is no way of telling for sure without time. If it's AF then she will arrive, if it's implantation then she won't and you will get a bfp. See it as a cautiously hopeful sign.
@donnat89 I feel like I get cramps from 4dpo these days! I never used to notice until about 2 hours before AF arrived! If it's unusual for you then maybe it's a good sign?

Adrianoska · 22/02/2020 18:04

Indeed so annoying!
I am still just brown spotting. No af. Oh i pray... But you are right I beed to be cautious.
😔❤️

LRHR · 22/02/2020 18:08

@Adrianoska definitely could be implantation.
I'm 13dpo today, no sign of AF yet but we will see what happens over the next few days.
Fingers crossed for you xxx

MrsChicken89 · 22/02/2020 18:14

@Adrianoska it could be either but ive been in the game 2 years this month & i always get spotting before AF, i guess only time will tell.

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 22/02/2020 18:49

@mrschicken89 same here, temperature had a tiny uptick this morning, but small enough I don't trust it 11dpo and I've been spotting / brownish cm on and off all day. I don't know what to think. I suspect its AF making an unusually slow entrance (typical for me is to go from spotting to full flow in like 4 hrs and I'm due tomorrow) but it's this tiny last corner of hope that is breaking my heart.

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 19:01

@Sammyclaire22 it is unusual for all the symptoms to stop , like I start to nag at back ache about a week before AF then cramps 4 days before which will stay until AF arrives if not get a little worse the closer to AF I am . but now it all seems to have stopped not even a twinge so I find it odd . I'm hoping it's a positive sign but could just be my body doing crazy things trying to trick me

@Adrianoska could be spotting only well to tell is wait and see if AF arrives . It really is a waiting game . Xxx

I’m 10dpo today. It’s DH’s 40th bday on Weds and am planning to test then on the very remote off chance that I might be able to give him a positive test stick amongst his presents!

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 19:18

@Chickoletta aww what a wonderful surprise that would be ! Fingers crossed you get you BFP ! Xx

pineapple2 · 22/02/2020 19:53

11dpo today. Tested again. BFN. I am using very cheap tests though, not to sure how reliable they are. I've done my research and they say they are as good as the next brand. I will only do a FRER when I'm past af due date.
@Adrianoska I know how you feel. I'm 37 and husband 37. We have been trying/not preventing pregnancy for over 2 years. I've got a child from a previous relationship who is 18 and my husband has children. We have had tests and there's nothing wrong..a case of unexplained infertility so I do worry that that's it for us but I'm hoping not..
Some of my friends have conceived in their 40s.
It is devastating and so disappointing month after month but like a few have said here stay positive and it will happen, just takes time..(why can't Mother Nature just send a stork with a baby) life would be so much easier.

I've kept really busy today and bought a wonderful new shark hoover woo hoo it's amazing but that's for another thread lol 😂

peyton14 · 22/02/2020 20:42

Hi all. Do you mind if I join in? Literally my first time in a thread, I normally just google and read lol this is my first cycle TTC after having my copper IUD removed. Also my first time using opks.
I am 3dpo but have had previous bfps come back around 9dpo. So not long!

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 20:44

@pineapple2 I've refused to test anymore , I last tested 11DPO which was Thursday and won't test again unless AF doesn't show .

I read lots of threads with people having BFN test even later than 11DPO and went on to get a BFP so there is still hope .

I feel much better no aches or pain last 2 days which is unusual for me as they should be getting worse if AF was on the way

But could be another nasty trick my body is playing on me .

I'm just gonna hold out and see if AF comes Tuesday if she doesn't I shall test

I do have one FRER upstairs and some one step strips so the temptation is there but I'm holding out ! Xxxx

OP posts:
Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 20:46

Lol correction yesterday was 11DPO WHICH is when I last tested that was yesterday 🤣🤣 can't even keep the days straight ....

OP posts:
Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 20:48

@peyton14 welcome ! Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon

Thinking about it I've never got a BFP early always after AF is due . So it's great you can test early xxx
