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

@Donnat89 are you due for AF on tuesday? Yeah it's a good thing my bfps come early but for both of my daughter's it took 14nmonths-2 years to conceive them so I've also had A LOT of bfns also unfortunately so I know how you all feel x praying for all of ya that af stays well away.

Donnat89 · 22/02/2020 21:14

@peyton14 yea I am so literally 3 days , did I test yesterday morning (one step strip and FRER ) at 11 DPO and got BFN .

But for the last week up until yesterday I had back ache and mild cramps ..... which usually means AF is on the way for me . It has all now stopped so I'm hoping it may be a good sign for me , or my body being weird (which if most likely is) .

Anyway I refuse to test anymore unless AF doesn't show as that will be the only way I really know anyway . Just got to have some will power and hope for the best .

It sucks when it takes so long so yep we defo all know how each other feels ! We will see ! Keeping everything crossed for everyone ! X

13 dpo today. AF due tomorrow...

bribri1997 · 23/02/2020 08:06

Think I’m out this month. AF due Tuesday but tested this morning BFN. Got cramps like period pains so think AF is on her way! Confused

Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 10:13

@bribri1997 I'm due AF same day and all my aches and pains are back again today after a blissful 2 day break so I think AF is definitely on the way .

Gutted ..... on to next month xxx

LRHR · 23/02/2020 13:25

@LexieBB I'm 2 days late (15dpo) BFN 😩
Think I'm possibly out this month as no symptoms other than period like cramps xx

LRHR · 23/02/2020 13:32

@Donnat89 @bribri1997 any sign of AF?
I'm 2 days late, BFN 😩 xx

Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 13:43

@LRHR no apart from slight cramping and back aches which had stopped for 2 days nothing but I don't usually have any spotting before AF arrives it just "arrives " in full force .

I haven't tested since Friday and don't want to if AF doesn't arrive Tuesday I will then test

Fingers crossed you may just get Your BFP yet ! Xxx

OP posts:
LRHR · 23/02/2020 14:58

@Donnat89 I don't normally have any symptoms before AF but last month I started spotting 3-4days before my AF and I thought it was IB 😩
Fingers crossed for all of us xxx

Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 15:13

@LRHR these last few days are always torture for me . Like still holding out hope for BFP but knowing it won't happen I had a BFN DPO 11 on FRER so fairly certain I'm out so just wish AF would come now .

Least if AF comes bang on time I know my cycles are correct !

Let's hope the next 2 days go quick ! And fingers crossed against all odds for a BFP !!! Xxxx

OP posts:
LRHR · 23/02/2020 15:46

@Donnat89 it is torture. Keep us updated.
I'm going off Premom app for dates but thinking they are completely out and I may not be due on till next week 😩😩
Just going to wait it out now
Xxx

Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 16:35

@LRHR I use flow app and to be honest always been spot on , my cycles where out for a few months by a day or 2 either side of the normal 28 days but last 2 months I have had 27 day cycles and the predictions have been correct . So I'm pretty certain this month will be correct too .

I will keep you updated , my sister has just given me a clear blue preg test that she had left laying around from when she was TTC . I feel like it's a sign 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm desperately trying to to test unless AF doesn't come but the temptation is strong !!

Hope you get your BFP And if you are not due until next week you are
Defo still in with a chance just means you tested to early xxx

Juno231 · 23/02/2020 16:46

@Donnat89 keep us updated but do bear in mind that pregnancy tests expire!

Sammyclaire22 · 23/02/2020 17:16

Good luck to all those testing in the next few days!
I think I'm 9 dpo but have no symptoms, so don't think it's my month. Been keeping busy in the garden though so feeling less obsessive than last month. Although I found a IC and caved last night, no idea why as it's too early, and id had water so was never going to be positive!

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 23/02/2020 17:52

I'm out. AF arrived overnight. Stuck at work today with far too much time to think and really painful cramps. Trying to look forward with hope to next month, but can't stop wondering what we're doing wrong. Scared it will never happen.

Please keep posting your BFPs, knowing that they do eventually happen is really helpful. Fx for everyone testing this week x

pineapple2 · 23/02/2020 18:10

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre 😞 I think mine is going to come in the next few day. Period cramps for the last few days that come and go but normally I don't experience cramping until the actual day of af...
Just want af to come now and get it over and done with..

What has everyone been doing today?
I'm trying to declutter and hopefully redecorate..was the garage today to keep me distracted and stop me obsessing googling random stuff on dpo lol

Figey · 23/02/2020 18:34

Hi everyone 👋 I’ve been following from the sideline, fingers crossed for everyone and testing alongside you all.
Ladies just after a bit of advice. All month I’ve been convinced I’m out this month. We only DTD once in my fertile window due to OH travelling for work.
Unhelpfully yesterday morning I had what I was convinced was implantation pain 🤦‍♀️ A very short sharp pain in my right for around 30 seconds that literally stopped me in my tracks, which repeated a few minutes later, followed by faint spotting that had disappeared by the evening. I know I released an egg on the right side this month due to scans. I doubted myself as 11DPO seemed late for implantation but AF was due today and no sign of her at all. So I tested today at 12DPO and BFN.
I made the mistake of telling OH about my speculative implantation yesterday and he’s been pestering me to test today, but I just can’t bring myself to tell him it was a BFN. Trying to spare him the rollercoaster. I’m hanging on for a BFN but should I just be realistic and focus on next month?

Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 18:43

@Juno231 yea that's true , I think il Chuck it just in case !

Pains I thought where AF coming have unhelpful hours stopped again ... when usually they would be getting worse .

Arrghh just wish it would come .

I am refusing to test until Tuesday when AF is due as even if it's BFN I will convince myself it's wrong until AF is actually here so it's pointless

@Figey welcome to the thread , sorry to hear of your BFN . But could still be too early I would wait a day or two then test again ?

Fingers crossed you all get your BFP !

I do wish AF would just come if she's going to I hate this wait with a passion ! X

OP posts:
Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 18:44

@Sammyclaire22 just because you have no symptoms doesn't mean your out . And as they say it only takes one time . So I have my fingers crossed for you xxxx

OP posts:
Figey · 23/02/2020 19:39

Ooh thanks @Donnat89! It’s so amazing to hear support in what feels like such an isolating experience. I’m going to follow your lead and try to hold out until Tuesday with you!

Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 19:50

@Figey your welcome believe me I think we all get how rough this journey can get and people who are not TTC don't get the heart ache we go through month after month . And your right it is lonely and it drives you mad .

I'm defo holding out as I won't believe a BFN anyway until AF arrives after all we like to try to hold on to any chance we have Dont we ?

I'm in two minds , my AF like pains have gone away again and I get the same
Pains every month so defo a sign of AF but they keep going away when they should be getting worse . So I think maybe in with a chance then I remember I had a BFN just 2 days ago so think my body is just being mean !

Fingers crossed
You get your BFP XXX

Hi,

Was reading the chat from the sideline and wanted to join.
Hi everyone.
Im early 30s TTC for 3 months.
currently only 1 day post ovulation.
I work in healthcare so have struggled trying not to over medicalise it all.

Hope everyone gets a BFP soon x

Figey · 23/02/2020 20:12

@Donnat89 I hope the time passes quickly for you and I have fingers, toes, limbs all crossed for you!

@london2386 Hi! I know what you mean about over researching! I’m not in healthcare but I’ve read more medical journals than I’m sure many PGs have! All I can say is that you can be the most informed person on the planet, but your body will do whatever it wants to do! That said, I found reading gave me a sense of control in a situation I know it completely out of my hands!

Sammyclaire22 · 23/02/2020 20:27

@figey I had similar last month- a sudden pain that nearly shot me out of my seat and then spotting the rest of the day. Was sure it was Implantation but used loads od tests and nothing came of it Sad I think i had something similar when I did get pregnant with Dd (why i was so excited) so fingers crossed for you!

@donnat89 thanks, I know you are right but I've been feeling less optimistic about it all this month. I think getting my hopes up last month has made me more realistic this time- at least I've not spent a fortune on frer!
@london2386 I'm healthcare too- my own worst enemy! Although I've found doing my bbt has actually helped me as it's less guesswork and more factual/ less influenced by my hopes or feelings! Xx

Donnat89 · 23/02/2020 22:46

@Sammyclaire22 yea I know how you feel I start of feeling really positive like this month is our month but the closer to AF I get the less optimistic I am . So I get it .

Oh well I will soon know and be able
To move on properly to next month .

One day to go tomorrow ! Xx
