Hi Ladies, Im new here.
I’m about 9DPO, me and we've have been trying for 3 years with no luck. We were meant to start IUI this month but it has been postponed due to COVID 19. With us both being at home this month, we decided to give it another try on our own. Been feeling really unwell this past week, had a few days of UTI which now has cleared up. Experiencing really sore boobs and my lower back is killing me!
Any thoughts?
Sending lots of baby dust to all!

Higgeldypiggeldy35 · 12/04/2020 15:11

Can I join please? 7DPO and just did a test (obvs negative!) I need somebody to help me be patient!

ArjaD · 12/04/2020 15:47

Join the club of weirdos, ladies! 7dpo here too 😁

Sungirl11 · 12/04/2020 15:58

Hahaha club of weirdos! That made me laugh!
I'm 14dpo 😩 need af to start now so i can move forward with my stress!
@dizzy85 if you go for a test don't worry, places shouldn't be very crowded and people keep distance.
@Donnat89 ur just behind ArjaD so in a week you will be going nuts together haha @Higgeldypiggeldy35 you too!
@Felicia6 welcome! Wow 3 years! We have been for 1 year and i'm already super stressed 😩😩

Felicia6 · 12/04/2020 16:13

@sungirl11 I know that feeling. It sucks! Its so hard to stay positive after all this while...

Lizzybee140113 · 12/04/2020 17:02

dizzy85 · 12/04/2020 17:47

Evening all. I've not got any tests yet I'm gonna go out in the morning then just hold my pee for 4 hours.

ArjaD · 12/04/2020 18:15

I'm still positive for you @dizzy85. Tomorrow there may be a clear pink line and the World will be a brighter place 😊

Carol1980 · 12/04/2020 19:27

@dizzy85
If you have amazon prime you can get a free delivered within a day x they still seem to be doing quick deliveries for pregnancy tests x

dizzy85 · 12/04/2020 21:04

@ArjaD aw Thankyou 😊 can't wait to get the tests!

@Carol1980 Thanks I will have a look at that good idea!

NicoleR14 · 12/04/2020 22:18

My fingers is crossed for you @dizzy85! Still no af for me or ovulation I'm a bit worried about it all and currently experiencing the worst hangover of my life!

Carol1980 · 12/04/2020 23:49

@NicoleR14
How many days is it now ?
I can't even fathom how frustrated/ annoyed/ puzzled you must be right now !!

I've spent the last few days convincing myself that I'm fine with not being pregnant and that we'll just need to try again but then I realise that the longer it takes the closer to 40 I'll be.
I'm pretty sure that I would t get any assistance from any doctors right now ( even if there wasn't a pandemic) as I already have a daughter and due to my age and my husbands age (42) I think we're deemed as too old to assist or do any testing unless we went private which I suspect would cost a small fortune !

What are you planning to do ? @NicoleR14 I understand that the doctors May be a bit busy right now, but if your not having your period, and there's no reason for this surely they would be looking at getting you checked over ?

ArjaD · 13/04/2020 07:31

@NicoleR14 aw keep taking the opks though, something has to give. Hangovers won't help either, you'll have the fear!
I caved this morning. 8dpo and obv bfn.... Oh well, I'll try again in a few days.

NicoleR14 · 13/04/2020 08:13

@carol1980 I'm not entirely sure what to do I'm now 18 days late for af I know the gp is busy but I am quiet concerned about it especially when ttc how can we keep trying and start again a new month when I haven't finished my last! I noticed the gp isnt very good for helping even me and my dh we are 21 and they won't help us they just keep telling us to try for up to a year before they'll even consider talking to us about it its terrible I think if you push hard enough they might help you get somewhere with it all!
@ArjaD I hope so I should be due to ovulate and no sign I think this will be another month of missing af I wish I knew what the problem was! At least your only on 8dpo there's still loads of time to get your bfp yet!

dizzy85 · 13/04/2020 10:03

@NicoleR14 I really feel for you it's awful missing a period it really makes everything feel weird and out of balance and esp when your waiting to ttc. Maybe give the drs a call and explain how much it's stressing you out and they might offer a blood test? Or at least you'd think they would. Have you tried exercise? Maybe it might get things moving about and trigger a period? Just a random idea 🤷‍♀️ but might help with the stress too. Not that I can talk I keep saying I'm gonna get on the exercise bike we have here but I don't.

dizzy85 · 13/04/2020 10:05

@Carol1980 are you still in the tww?
@ArjaD sorry for the bfn but you still have loads of time 🤞🏻

I'm gonna go get tests in a few hours just want to know now.

Carol1980 · 13/04/2020 10:40

@NicoleR14 I would try the doctors again and explain that your now 18 days past your period and that your worried it might be something else. Given that your so young, I'm surprised they haven't asked you to come in x

@dizzy85 yeah I'm still waiting for AF x I've tested negative on any test that I've taken so pretty sure I'm not pregnant, had a bad cramp yesterday and been feeling irritable which is a usual AF symptom for me, still getting the indegestion and both my hubby and I have horrible insomnia again x
I ordered more tests on Amazon, which should be delivered today, trying a different brand of IC though x

dizzy85 · 13/04/2020 11:24

@Carol1980 when is af due? Try not to lose hope though your still in with a chance, I know it's hard, we've been trying for ages now it really does take it out of you. x

NicoleR14 · 13/04/2020 11:27

@dizzy85 @carol1980 I have tried exercise and over things to get it going but nothing! I was in at the gp when I was 7 days late and they had did a pregnancy test and told me I wasn't pregnant and my womb was taking spazums and to wait for af to arrive I haven't called back since I don't know if they would do a blood test just now with all going on @dizzy85 when will you be testing again?

OP posts:
Carol1980 · 13/04/2020 11:29

@dizzy85 according to Ovia it's due tomorrow.
A few months ago I was on a 25 day cycle then it just changed for some reason, I've gone from 24 days one month to 27 days another month and one month I went to 33 days 🤦🏼‍♀️
So......🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🙄

shelly10111 · 13/04/2020 12:18

Hi ladies how are we all getting on? @NicoleR14 hope you get your af how very late :( I'm ovulating this week yet to have a full positive I think it will be positive tomorrow, we were going to stop trying but now just going with the flow of things! I'm on day 13 so ovulating late this month as usually get positive today or yesterday :)

dizzy85 · 13/04/2020 13:03

@Carol1980 my cycle seems to do that aswell it's mostly 28 days or that's what I thought but looking back at my previous cycles they've varied as much as yours, I think it's quite normal tho 🤷‍♀️😂 our bodies just do their own thing which is not helpful haha

Carol1980 · 13/04/2020 13:23

@dizzy85 I used to be a very regular 25 days, but I'm not 100% as I've had times where I've not bothered filling in my ovia over the past could of years, didn't see the point as we had our daughter x
I'm going to look back at my inputs from 2017 and see what they say as I was tracking for a few months between 2016 and 2017 x

I'm literally just waiting now on Af x

Too a test this morning ( despite saying I would t 🤣) and it was a negative anyway x
Given that I'm 15dpo there's no chance I'm pregnant !

Sungirl11 · 13/04/2020 17:20

Hi girls! I'm 2 days late too... it seems to be the topic of the month. I got a BFN on a CB yesterday and didn't bother to test today. Y have just sore my right nipple now and a bit of a heavy lower tummy. Which i thought was af coming but she must be on lockdown too!
I have 27/28day cycles and it's day 30 today.
@dizzy85 and @NicoleR14 i have been reading threats here and one of them there where two girls who got bfn all the way until like day 52 when they got bfp 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's very weird but not impossible!!
Anyway @NicoleR14 as the girls say i would call dr too, maybe say you have a strong pain or something so they listen to you! I understand what you say about being young because they always tell me i'm still super young and have time and i'm 32 soon! So i can't imagine you... ridiculous!
@ArjaD i read you caved this morning hahah i did the exact same!! I think 8dpo is like the day some people start to get their bfp and it's like arrrg i have to give it a go! For nothing hahaha

dizzy85 · 13/04/2020 18:10

@Carol1980 sorry for the bfn but your not definitely out even at 15dpo tho like @Sungirl11 says there people do get late bfps too. But I know what you mean though I think coz we see on here that lots of people get them early it makes you think your out but you might not be🤞🏻

@Sungirl11 sorry for the bfn aswell, but late af is good so hopefully she just stays in lockdown for the next 9 months 😁🤞🏻

I went out a little while ago and got some tests, not done one yet though but will definitely do this evening. I managed to find frers and packs of two for £7.99 I was well impressed they're normally £10.50 from Superdrug's and this was a local chemist 😂 love finding a bargain. Anyway I now have 8 tests 🤷‍♀️
