@Babydancing2020 thanks, I've ordered some FRER and clear blue digitals but they are not arriving until tomorrow. I'll most likely be working my way through ics and squinting away until then. Sorry to hear you're cramping but it can mean anything so hopefully it's a good sign for you. Showering you with lots of baby dust. Xx

@Sazzy312sorry to hear of your mmcs. I really hope this is your month!

@dobzyj with my first I don't remember having any obvious symptoms other than missed period. I've been trying so hard not to symptom spot this month because it gets my hopes up and then I feel like it makes AF that even more unbearable. But... I've noticed on loads more bloated and gassy! I have recently tried to go on a vegetarian diet though so it could be down to this?? Maybe try doing a number 2 and see how you feel? Grin

@dobzyj and @Blackbelt 🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi! I'm trying for third. I have two other children from a previous relationship but he wasn't the one (took me years to realise) and now I'm with someone who is the one and we so want a child together! The irony is I fell straightaway with both, and now, now that i really yearn to be pregnant, it's not happening!

It is so difficult to think about anything else!! I google so much, all the time.

I know four people around me, my age and older, all pregnant, and I'm jealous!
Xx

@Bunnycharm32 I'm also in the camp of being unable to concentrate at work until I know one way or the other.

Should probably introduce myself I only joined this thread the other day looking for a bit of company as I'm so nervous

I'm ttc no 3 I have two girls currently I know I should be grateful and I'm eternally in love with my girls but it doesn't take away that desire to still be pregnant again somehow although I know I'm very lucky with what I have xx

I also am surrounded by pregnant friends and whilst I'm overjoyed for them I understand the jealousy as I can feel like that too

@Babydancing2020

I know exactly what you mean. Why one month and not the next? Then you start over analysing the tiny things you might be doing differently. I agree though with the fact that you almost have to give up and it happens... but that’s so hard to do! Especially if you’re the sort of person who has been successful in areas of life that you can control, like career etc..

I just wanna say thank you for all being in the same boat. It’s so much better than feeling alone and a bit mad!

We have heard of many couple conceiving eventually.

How come some people have to wait years before getting IVF? suppose must match criteria?

So after 10 years of regular periods of 28/29 days, I am on CD 34, the mild cramping I've been having has now gone, BFN on frer yesterday, not sure what my next move is. I guess wait to so if it comes? I have had no symptoms of pregnancy, cramping is the only thing. Maybe I'm starting perimenipausal I'm 44 in april. I really dont know what to think or do,peeing on sticks has not really helped, as BFN and no AF is not conclusive urghhhhhhhh now the internet googling is pointing to Phantom Pregnancy but if that is it surely I would have symptoms. I hate my body atm

@Ylladyoll

That happened to me in December, was torture wondering whether I was or not. Distract yourself as much as poss and do nice things for yourself. Could be a near miss like I had, or you need to wait longer.
Just wanna say I know how it feels! Rollercoaster of emotions thinking one thing then the other!

@Blackbelt thank you, I've started another thread as there seems to be a few of us late and thought it would be good to get us all on there as it may good for others who have the same problem in the future looking for answers... hopefully answers when we get them... if I mean!

Hi, my DH and I are TTC and I have PCOS. Tracking since October and finally ovulated in January (long wait). I've now had this HCG test result but does the second line count? Doesn't seem to be in the test window?

Hello everyone! 🌸
I am 36 and have two kids from a previous marriage (12 and 6).
Now my husband and I are trying for a baby. We have been TTC for 3 months. This month is the first cycle I used ovulation sticks. It was nice to know that I ovulated yesterday or today 😁. We did BD last few days. And will do again tonight 😉.
I am drinking Proceive Max this month (50 guid?? 😅). Before that I was taking pregnacare conception... I was so disappointed that I didn't get pregnant first two cycles that I start researching like crazy! Now I am eating a big breakfast and drink organic ful fat milk 😜. I also bought Conceive Plus Lube... But we used it only once. I usually get so wet (sorry, tmi 😂) that using extra lube meant that my husband felt like he is sailing the sea 🌊🤣. My period is now due in 14 days and OMG I pray it will not arrive... 😑. My husband wants baby so much!
He is younger than me, he is 30. We both don't drink or smoke at all... I am just so paranoid that I will not be able to get pregnant... It drives me crazy! 😒😅
I ovulated yesterday or around yesterday apparently, according to the tests. We did everything that needs to be done.. Now I pray. Pray
Omg I am so scared if the time when my period arrives... 😥
Good luck to everyone 💖

4 days til af is due and pretty sure it will come this month, don't feel any different, but then haven't got the usual pms symptoms either 🤷
Baby dust to us all.

I just took two cheapie tests i dont know why..maybe cuz Im a test addict xd maybe because there was a little bit of hope? Maybe this cramping wasnt meant for my period to come in 2 days buy a pregnancy?
But no im calling it a negative. Although i do see something but its not convincing me i acc think itd cuz I wanna see it. Looks more like a faint evaporation line probs cuz i stared at it for literally 20 minutes now...

@user1469567046, not kidding! He was like what's this 🏄🏽‍♂️ 🤣

Oh it's such a dreadful time, I can't concentrate at work, I have been researching like mad again. I now convinced myself that I killed my egg today by eating two doughnuts!

I read that small daily dose of aspirin can have some benefits when trying to conceive 🤔🤔

Baby hugs to you all 😻

Meeee. Just at the very beginning of the (excruciating) TWW. AF due on 24th Feb. We’ve been TTC since July 2019 (our first).

@butterflylove81 it consumes us! Hear of so many people saying they were convinced af was coming but the got a bfp, I can't help believe that'll happen to me. But it just leads to massive disappointment 😒 xx

@lunasunshine practically the same as me! There is a thread for people in their TWW due around 21st-25th :)

@Babydancing2020 I'm not sure I can see a line 😔 sorry lovely. But they say it isn't over until af is actually here. How are you feeling other than cramping?
I did a frer yesterday, which I don't know why I even did it as 5 days before af is so early and of course a bfn.
I'm hoping this valentine's weekend is one to remember but just got to wait and see what happens.
It's the waiting game that is the most excruciating part.
