Hi all. Hope you don’t mind me joining in..
Hope your all well and staying safe during this very stressful climate
Just wanted to join in and tell you my story...
So I’ve be TTC (trying to conceive) since February 19 I was previously on the implant which I had removed Feb 19. My periods were all over the place at first but since August 19 I have been having regular periods every month lasting between 31-33 days. I wasn’t ovulating at first but since November 19 I have started to ovulate every month (I check by using the ovulation sticks). Both myself and husband are normally fit and well, we have both had all the routine tests done.. blood tests and semen analysis which have all come back normal. I was due to see a gynaecologist on 1st April which got cancelled given the circumstances...
I’m currently 10 days late on my periods I’ve done 3 pregnancy tests which have all come back negative. I really don’t know what’s going on I’m not normally this late I definitely ovulated last month as I checked myself and we did the baby dance the few days around it. I have no symptoms other than lots of cream discharge (sorry if its tmi). I did a test 3 days after AF was due and another on 8 days. All BFN.
Don’t know what to think now? Whether I’m really late coming on or actually pregnant? And wondering whether it’s possible to skip a period even if you have ovulated that month? xxx

ArjaD · 11/04/2020 13:57

@sems26 yes I would say it is defo possible. I have skipped periods before, our bodies do crazy things sometimes xx hope it all gets back on track on you xxx
@dizzy85 aw so sorry for the bfn mrs 😞 have been crossing everything for you xx are you ok?

dizzy85 · 11/04/2020 14:25

@ArjaD thankyou, I'm alright it has messed with my head a bit as it does, I ended up taking the tests out the bin to look at I know bad idea, but I saw a line on one of them but not the other and it was very faint so I think just an evap coz it's not quite in the right position either. I'll just test again tomorrow and see. Here's a pic of the potential evap line. 🙄
How are you getting on?

Second thread for ttc!
ArjaD · 11/04/2020 15:28

@dizzy85 it looks puzzling. Really can't say evap or not but I'm praying it's just a late bfp for you.... Maybe try with fmu in the morning? I'm ok thanks. Symptom spotting at 6dpo as usual...

dizzy85 · 11/04/2020 16:38

@ArjaD it is puzzling but I just think it's an evap as was only on the one test. Will definitely do fmu tomorrow though if af hasn't come, I've started feeling really angry today so think she may be on her way 😢😞 I hope this is your month 🤞🏻

Sophiehannah95 · 11/04/2020 16:49

Hi Everyone!

Hope you don't mind me joining in :)

I am 2dpo at the moment, we 'did the deed' on day of ovulation as we used a opk which confirmed it. Only things I've noticed different is a small back ache this morning before getting out of bed, feeling super tired and my nipples seem slightly darker. Though I'm probably just imagining that!

Was wondering if anyone else is experiencing anything going on with their bodies this early?

This is our first time ttc and there is a chance my partner could have poor fertility due to having cancer in the past. :)

Sending love and good wishes to you all! xox

ArjaD · 11/04/2020 18:31

Hi @Sophiehannah95 I think we all hope we feel something that early, but it's probably unlikely. We spend a lot of time on here talking each other out of symptom spotting though so join the club, 😂 fingers crossed for you xxxx

Sungirl11 · 11/04/2020 20:19

Hiya!!
@dizzy85 i'm so sorry!!! Hope it's just a late ovulation! I can't see anything in the pics, have you tried a clearblue?
@Sophiehannah95 hello! I think that it's too early to have any symptoms... even thought the symptoms are all a bit crazy as we all have ones or others and after a year they were all bfn 😞
@Sems26 there is another girl here that is super late too and bfn... we think it's all due to the situation we are going through.
@Carol1980 i've seen you got bfn again! But as you said, until af is here...
i might test tomorrow again as i'm stressed already haha but again i think no chance as i feel super afy.
Xx

Sungirl11 · 11/04/2020 20:32

I've just read another thread about a girl getting her blood tests done last week 🙈🙈
I'm starting to get very nervous as of why i can't do mine 😞😞😞

Carol1980 · 11/04/2020 21:05

@Sungirl11 🤔🤔 that's a bit crappy if your not able to get yours x

@dizzy85 yeah totally typical 🙄 and I've noticed that I'm a grumpy sod today....seems to be the only AF symptom that I can definitely rely on to tell me that AF is coming 🤣🤣

Pinacolada7 · 12/04/2020 02:38

I'm trying to get pregnant but I have irregular periods doc gave me qlaira(birth control) to regulate my period but I'm iffy on taking them . Do you guys think I should get ovulation kits instead of taking the birth control?

ArjaD · 12/04/2020 07:40

@Pinacolada7 hm I'd say ovulation kits. Once you're on birth control and then come back off it may be a while to get pregnant. I swore off the pill years ago. But I'm no doctor 🤔

ArjaD · 12/04/2020 07:41

7dpo someone please keep me sane 🤣 How's you @NicoleR14?

Sungirl11 · 12/04/2020 09:16

@ArjaD 😂😂 distract yourself!!
I did a CB and NO preg! Aw well! ☹️
I believe af will be on her way at some point as i have cramping and 14dpo already...
sooo dissapointing... every month the same! Never thought this was so complicated!
HAPPY EASTER everyone! Enjoy your eggs 🥳

Jessmary94 · 12/04/2020 09:20

Think I may be ovulating late as cervix has finally risen 👏 hoping late ovulation rather than an anovulatory cycle.
Hope your all keeping well x

dizzy85 · 12/04/2020 09:29

Morning ladies,so I just used my last 2 strips and they both have very faint lines on in the right place but I've had abit of heavier spotting not period but heavier than it's been the last few days I've been trying to photograph the tests but they're not showing well in pics. I'm confused and worried now I've seen these faint lines that it's another chemical pregnancy. I hope not but with the spotting getting heavier it's obviously not a good sign. I need to get more tests but I don't know where or when to go I really don't wanna go in a supermarket today. How frustrating.
Hope your all ok

Sungirl11 · 12/04/2020 09:35

@dizzy85 awww how frustrating!! I get them on amazon... today i believe everything will be closed? It's festive.
I would maybe try go to GP and get a blood test so they can confirm as it will show exactly! I have read some threads where girls at 19dpo tests where bfn and blood test showed pregnant. Hope it goes well 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Carol1980 · 12/04/2020 09:40

@dizzy85
Check your local boots and see if their open or your local pharmacy x
We had a messages on h
Our community Facebook page saying that the chemists were going to be open this weekend, although our chemist is usually open at the weekend anyway x
Nothing this end at all, no AF yet but nothing else x

Donnat89 · 12/04/2020 09:47

Morning ladies ! 6DPO today ! Tomorrow my usual AF symptoms should start . Still feeling very chilled

@dizzy85 I've got everything crossed for you how frustrating! Xx

Donnat89 · 12/04/2020 09:50

Haha can't even keep track of the days ... I'm 5DPO I thought today was Monday 😂 wishful thinking ! Still got a long wait xx

Bbutterfly · 12/04/2020 10:02

Morning all, @dizzy85 I hate it when this happens then it drives you mad until you know for sure. I think do another test for sure. You might be one of those where it shows later rather than earlier. Dont go to the negative straight away I know we tend to do that a lot but try hard focusing on the fact you have a faint line and you just need it to get stronger rather than a cp. keep us updated.
@ArjaD you losing the plot now 😂 I've just caught up on the chat and really laughed at your comment about it being your luck you get pregnant in the worst month to do so 😂 We are the same haha. 4 leaf clover could be a sign! This could be your month! Im ovulating on Friday so I'm behind most of you girls.
@NicoleR14 how you getting on? Xx

ArjaD · 12/04/2020 11:14

@dizzy85 aw man how frustrating 😞 wish i could just teleport you a test! Try to stay positive though, it can still be good news!
@Sungirl11 sorry about the bfn 😞 not out till af sings though!
@Bbutterfly yup, losing the plot as usual. You try to calm down because you're taking a more casual approach because we're in lockdown... And then the tww drives you mad anyway!

dizzy85 · 12/04/2020 11:54

@Sungirl11 @Carol1980 @Donnat89 @Bbutterfly @ArjaD Thankyou all🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 i do hope this is it, it's hard to stay positive with previous experiences but I'm gonna just try and chill, oh that would be great if you could teleport me a test @ArjaD 😂, I googled the chemist I had in mind but it's shut but I've found another that's apparently open, I'm scared to go in there though coz of the virus but I also don't wanna wait to get one delivered coz I think it'll take forever.

Fingers crossed for you all too 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

ArjaD · 12/04/2020 12:51

@dizzy85 just dash in and don't touch anything 🤣 or cough loudly to keep people at a distance...

Donnat89 · 12/04/2020 13:54

@dizzy85 yes what @ArjaD said ! Like you I couldn't wait either I've got a load of ICS but not even tempted to do them yet but at least I have them . I would like To not test until AF is late but I know that ain't happening max il get to 11DPO if I even hold out that long c
