@rma13 I would ring the doctors again tomorrow and ask to speak to a different doctor hun

Rma13 · 25/05/2020 13:29

@suki2020 I think I'll have to as this is driving me insane!

Suki2020 · 25/05/2020 13:58

@rma13 I’m not surprised. It’s so strange though isn’t it.

Rma13 · 25/05/2020 14:01

@Suki2020 it's so strange! I'm honestly getting so many signs, but the tests are screaming no. Starting to wonder if it's all just in my head!

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/05/2020 16:19

I doubt it's in your head @Rma13 if you've not got your period yet and you're late. Defo ask to see a dr again and perhaps a different one. You need a blood test really. Sometimes women don't produce enough hcg for it show up in urine. Have u been particularly stressed this month as that can delay periods sometimes? And do you know if you ovulated? Do you track?

Rma13 · 25/05/2020 16:26

@notyetamumbuttrying I believe I ovulated yes I cannot be 100% sure as did not track this month (just my luck right haha) I will definitely ask for a blood test again as its ridiculous to leave someone feeling like this isnt it! I've not been particularly stressed no!

Lauralozzle · 25/05/2020 20:04

@Rma13 I do hope the doctors let you have a blood test. It’s very odd, I don’t think it’s in your head though.

It’s CD 8 for me today, better get ready for SMEP. I’m feeling really focused this month - fingers crossed for everyone x

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/05/2020 20:10

And for you @Lauralozzle I've heard good things about smep, best of luck!

BabyG123 · 25/05/2020 22:24

@Lauralozzle we pretty much did SMEP without even know why it was. Just dtd loads 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

So AF has just finished according to my app I should be ovulating about the 3rd of June but just started tracking temperatures and I don't have a clue what I'm doing ... I'm taking temp as soon as I wake up before I get out of bed but I'm literally a different temp everyday is that because I was on my period or am I missing something here ConfusedSmile

BabyG123 · 26/05/2020 13:46

@Anastacia1 I can't help You with temping as I used ovulation sticks. Sorry!

Anastacia1 · 26/05/2020 14:00

@BabyG123 ah no worries il maybe try that if this doesn't work out this is only our second month and first month of actually trying x

notyetamumbuttrying · 26/05/2020 14:13

I use ov sticks too @Anastacia1 so I can't help either. Hopefully you're using an app as well so that might give some insights? I hear ppl use friendly fertility or prenom?

jaxs23 · 26/05/2020 14:42

@anastacia1 temps can fluctuate slightly. It's my first month temping and i worried about variations too. It helped to look at others charts. Here's mine. First big dip was ov. Second dip i hope is implantation at 5 dpo. But probably wishful thinking on my part

jaxs23 · 26/05/2020 14:42

My chart

Lauralozzle · 26/05/2020 14:48

@Anastacia1 temps can fluctuate just after Aunt Flo - I e had cycles where they’re a bit over the place but can still see the clear temp shift after ovulation

Sounds like your doing it fine - first thing in morning before moving. Are you doing it at the same time? Did you have solid 4 hrs sleep before waking?

Anastacia1 · 26/05/2020 19:24

@notyetamumbuttrying I've been using Flo ? I've always used it to track my period
@jaxs23 oh fingers crossed for you I got a faint positive last month and the next day AF came was gutted thought I had got it on our first try .x

Anastacia1 · 26/05/2020 19:25

@Lauralozzle yeah same time as soon as my alarm goes off I'm keep doing it ... only been a few days

notyetamumbuttrying · 26/05/2020 19:46

I don't think you can log temp on Flo @Anastacia1 but I could be wrong. It's so good, there's prob space for it somewhere! Ooh I've also heard the health app on your phone is good for logging temp!

Rma13 · 28/05/2020 09:49

Hi everyone I still have no sign of AF, still really nauseous, still got sore boobs, today I've had a coffee (my favourite thing) and its literally made me want to vomit but the test is still negative. Spoke to the drs, they said call the midwives, spoke to midwife who said they cant do anything until I get a positive test I'm so confused!

notyetamumbuttrying · 28/05/2020 10:03

So will the docs not do a blood test @Rma13?

Fran2020 · 28/05/2020 10:05

Hope it's ok to join this thread!

I'm 33 and been TTC for 11 months now. Currently 12DPO and got a BFN today on an early detection test. Trying to keep positive as have had so many symptoms.

Rma13 · 28/05/2020 10:08

@notyetamumbuttrying no they are still saying, due to Coronavirus, I have the symptoms of pregnancy and should take it as being pregnant and that there is no need to do a blood test 😥

Welcome @Fran2020 fingers crossed for you!

Sakura54 · 28/05/2020 11:14

@Rma13 still BFN! When you told us the other day, I thought it was silly that the GP told you to go ahead and contact maternity. They must be going off what you told them about the same thing happening in your previous pregnancy, if you told them? It does sound like you have a lot of symptoms though! There’s still a bit of time before the Booking in appointment should be done so either wait another week or just lie to the midwife to get the ball rolling lol! I hope you get a BFP soon.

notyetamumbuttrying · 28/05/2020 11:33

So bizarre @Rma13 hope you're ok.
Welcome @Fran2020 do keep positive and test again at 14dpo, keep us posted!
