Evening All,

I've been TTC since May 2018, currently 8DPO on CD26, AF is due Tuesday. I already feel like it's a no this month I always have a low mood in the few days before AF. Fingers crossed I'm wrong!

Hey! I'm in the wait due af 21st feb the day of my partner's birthday which I cant decide if it terrifies or excites me!
Random question does anyone partner take vitamins to help the baby making?

[Sunshine1606]

Morning guys and hey to everyone who has joined the Feb bench!

I caved and tested this morning and now have a serious case of line eyes. I'm literally going cross eyed looking at the stick. Can anyone see anything or is is just me hoping?

@Babydancing2020 I'll definetely watch the videos today. How are you getting on?

@Eatsleepbakerepeat it's my partner's birthday today which I why I tested. I'm still none the wiser though, it's probably just too early to tell. I read somewhere that zinc is linked to low testosterone levels, poor sperm quality and an increased risk of male infertility so my OH just makes sure there is zinc in his everyday multivitamins.

Hope everyone has a good Monday! X

Well I'm late 4 days now, AF was due on the 6th, gonna take a frer today. I'm wondering if I'm not pregnant and that the pregnacare gummies vits I started this month has delayed my AF. I'm pretty sure if I dont come up as pregnant on the frer then it must be a delay due to vitamins. I've got no symptoms except mild cramping, which can be a sign of both. Our bodies are not helpful xx

[2020wish]

I’m 3 days late now. I’ve never been late and have pretty regular cycles. Got bfn on frer today. I started those pregnancare vits also this month although last month I was taking the Superdrug branded ones and I thought they had all the same vits in them :(

[Ylladyoll]

Same gummie ones?

[2020wish]

Not the gummie ones just the normal tablets.. but think they are just the same thing.

[Ylladyoll]

I'm getting mild cramping at night, are you getting the same? I've had no spotting or symptoms, have you? @2020wish

[2020wish]

I’ve had no spotting at all. From last week I’ve had my usual af symptoms... bloated, cramps and moody. But I’ve also had extra... feeling full quicker and what I think is indigestion discomfort (which I don’t usually suffer from) feeling like I want to be sick. Sore back and like shooting/nipping pains around sides and tops of thighs?? Also a ‘hungover ‘ feeling. The 3 days before af was due I was having a lot of cm also but all that has since stopped. So confused as these signs can also all be explained by af and a bug as I might just be sick. Ugh so annoyed lol

[Ylladyoll]

Soi just nipped into boots bought frer, now just apprehensive about checking cos guaranteed as soon as you do AF starts without warning lol will check on my next pee and report back

[2020wish]

Ohhhh fingers crossed!!

[Trying2b]

Hello!! I'm on the bench too..... although feel like I'm slipping off the edge today! I'm 11DPO and got a BFN on FRER. I've had some early positives at 9DPO during last cycles which resulted in chemical pregnancies, so I was really hoping to see a positive line by now. I'm not due AF until 15/16th Feb, so it's still very early. Im having lots of cramping and very sore boobs. I love these forums, thanks for being here xx

[courtney229]

AF is due to arrive today and sorry for TMI but me and my partner did the deed last night and there was blood so I put a pad on and iv woken up this morning to nothing not even a little spec of blood.
Got a feeling she's going to show late on purpose ! I really hate this every month

[Babydancing2020]

@Sunshine1606 omg thats deffo a line!!!! Its faint but i cud see it right away. How are you now did u take another test??

And ugh i woke up with very bad cramping so i think my period is gonna sneak up on me again:(

Keep me updated bout the test im so curious!!!

[Ylladyoll]

Tested BFN so it is obviously the prenatal vits, I'm gonna keep taking them daily and see if it sorts itself out, bit gutted but I didnt feel pregnant xx

[2020wish]

Af has just arrived. Well I think it’s af. Other half is still holding out that it’s implantation bleeding lol but who knows. Feel a bit down as I was really hoping lol calendar is pin pointing me at 14dpo now as readjusted my ovulation day as two days later than I thought based on my tracking today as my period. I was still DTD around that time.Who knows tho think I’m just clutching at straws tbh onto to March I suppose

Hello
I’m new here! Been TTC since June 2019 and it’s my first, but I’m 35!

Had a chemical pregnancy in December, which was harder than I expected.

It’s lonely and stressful TTC and nice to see so many people in the same boat. The rollercoaster each month takes its toll doesn’t it??

I’m only a day past ovulation so not due until 23rd Feb. Used to be like clockwork so i was never late with my my period until December when I was a week late! Tested a faint positive but then nothing and period came :(
Not a good start to 2020, messed with my head.

Then last month nothing either and was 3 days late.

It’s that really hard thing of not wanting to get your hopes up but it’s so hard not to!?

[Blackbelt]

:( sorry to hear, sucks doesn’t it? Then roll on the same old process the following month! It’s all you can do, distraction and try again. Xx

[Bunnycharm32]

Hey all! I'm new to this so I don't even know if I've posted in the right place place!
Waiting for AF in a couple of days. Had my usual pre AF spotting. And cramps, but these were slightly worse than usual pre AF ones. Spotting only appeared on closer inspection internally iykwim. Anyone have this and get BFP? I like to be hopefully until I know I'm defo our.

[Bunnycharm32]

It's so hard isn't it blackbelt?
I've just turned 39 but remain very hopeful - you have to be I think!
But thinking about TTC consumes me!

[Sazzy312]

Hey everyone, so nice to read everyone's comments, sorry to the people who's started af! Fingers crossed for you next month, I'm 11dpo had all good symptoms so far but feeling more cramps today so expecting to start af soon, if I don't by thursday/friday I'll take a test, this is my 12 cycle of trying after 3 mc :( the road is never smooth but makes you stronger along the way, don't give up girls

[dobzyj]

Hey everyone, hope I'm posting in the right place and hoping anyone can help! Don't know all the abbreviations so apologies if it's really long!! For all you 1st time mums to be fingers crossed!!! For all those on their second or more then good luck as well but I need your help!

So.... I'm 39 and I ovulate around day 18. Currently on CD27 and feel strange but not massively different than if I was getting AF ( which is due sat 15th)
Main difference is CM is still there and usually it's gone by now. It's watery and slimy like egg whites a little bit but not sure if that's going to stay until AF, tender boobs and harder, bloated Tum but not struggling to go the loo, and no spotting so kinda just thinking is AF on route. Has anyone else been pregnant prior with these symptoms? Just waiting to do a test but just thought I'd ask opinions.....

[dobzyj]

Oh and cramps but wasn't sure if I just needed a number 2 haha. Sorry tmi x

[dobzyj]

@Bunnycharm32 is it your first at 39?

[Blackbelt]

@Bunnycharm32
Glad I’m not the only one who struggles to think about anything else.

Can’t concentrate at work..

The irony is I’ve wanted to be a mum for about 10 yrs (wanted to wait to find Mr Right, which I have!) but I’m actually pretty terrified about all the change it will bring!
