Testing around 13th May

[Sussexbysea]

Hi all,

I joined a similar thread last month and found it really supportive. It’d be great to hear from others.

We’ve been trying for number 2 for two years now and each month gets more emotionally difficult. Xx

Xx

Hey Ladies, would love to chat....it’s not the same talking to friends who get pregnant straight away so have no idea what you’re going through, I read this chat all the time but thought I’d bite the bullet and join in

@Skyla01 I’m in the same position as you, I’ve been trying for baby #1 for 11months!
I’m due on my period tomorrow And currently have period cramps so I know it’s coming! :( starting to think it’s never going to happen!

Good luck everyone, my fingers are crossed that you all get your positives soon xx

@LKSF depending on the area you live, after 1 year, you could get help with trying for a baby. It also depends on whether you or your partner have children too.

NHS are eager to help parents to be.

Hi @LKSF it’s so hard when your friends don’t understand. I also haven’t told my mum we’re ttc because I know she’d get her hopes up for grandchildren and I don’t want to disappoint her.

We’ve been trying for our first baby for almost two years now. We’ve had all the fertility tests, last month we had our results and everything is all fine so that’s a positive. Just hoping it happens soon for us because it’s so soul destroying every month waiting!
Hoping everyone gets their positive soon ☺️

@Mumabx great to see a bfp!

@LKSF I hope it isn't AF. Yeah we were about to go to the gp for tests before corona. Still feeling like we can do this ourselves hopefully!

Has anyone that is due on the 13th tested yet and got anything positive?!

Thank you everyone! Still in disbelief!

@MissH123 I haven't really had anything apart from feeling on and off like I'm going to come on since Friday still have had it again today. I'm not 100% sure how many days DPO I am but I was due on Saturday/Sunday. I never show up early on tests either! I hope this helps you x

@Sussexbysea We have been to a fertility clinic and had tests done which were all positive and they’re seeing if they can send us down the IVF route.

@Skyla01 Hopefully not but I just feel exactly how I normally do the day before my AF! Oh well maybe next month! I’ve heard things are moving again at the end of the month with fertility tests etc so hopefully you’ll be able to have all your tests done soon, I’m sure they’ll all be fine but it good just for peace of mind 🤞🏼

@LT87 yes I know exactly what you mean about disappointing people, it really does feel like you’re letting ppl down :(

@LKSF that’s brilliant news. X

Ladies, this is a weird one! I've had the teeniest tiniest dot of blood when I wiped, at least I think it's blood. It was literally the size of pin head. I do have red underwear on today but I tried to pull it off the paper and it was in the paper if that makes sense 🤔 my logical side says don't be stupid it must be a bit of cotton, but the dreamer wants to think it isn't! I'm 8dpo today 😑

@hayho87 could be an implantation bleed?

@LKSF would be great If we could conceive meantime without needing any intervention- fingers crossed!

@Skyla01 I wish it is but I'm so sceptical now after 21 cycles! Grrr I've actually felt pretty good today, had a light headache and been bloated but nothing out of the norm, will see what tomorrow brings 🙏🏻

@hayho87 how you feeling this morning? Anymore spotting over night?xx

@Sussexbysea I woke at 3.30 after having the strangest dreams. Went for a wee and eventually got back off to sleep at about 5. No more spotting but tons of wind! Going for a number two like normal though so I reckon the witch is due not a baby! My monthly spot that came up yesterday has gone this morning which is strange and as it usually a beacon! How about you? How are you feeling? Xx

Morning ladies, hope your all okay!
Woke up this morning feeling really deflated!! AF is not due until the 16th but I just have a gut feeling this isn't my month☹️ does anyone else get like that? X

@hayho87 I’m so glad there’s been no more. How many days till you’ll test?

I’m ok thanks. I’ve lost my appetite which really isn’t like me at all. I feel a bit sicky too. Last night I went to bed the same time as my daughter, I’m beyond tired but it’s more likely to be my thyroid rather than pregnant 👎🏻

Morning @MissH123
I know how you feel, each month when it gets closer to AF arriving I just can’t ever imagine myself getting a positive. Keep trying to remind myself there’s no reason why I wouldn’t and staying as positive as possible but it’s hard some days. Hope we’ll all have some luck this month ☺️

@LT87 that's exactly it, I just can't even imagine getting a positive?!
And it's so hard because my brother and his girlfriend have just had their baby and they weren't even trying (they had only been together a few months so was a surprise bubba) and I'm so happy for them and love my niece but so damn jealous!!! Me and my partner have been together 5 years and feels like we have been trying forever☹️ I just get in my own head sometimes! Trying to stay positive xx

@MissH123 @LT87 You’re not alone, I can’t ever imagine getting a positive test! We all have to keep positive though, I’m sure so many people thought the same and then they got their positives so it WILL happen for us 🤞🏼 Will this be your first baby? X

Thank you @LKSF 💕
Yes, we're currently trying for our 1st🤞🏽
Got my fingers and toes crossed for us all this month x

I’m only 10DPO and promised I wouldn’t POAS until Monday or Tuesday but caved this morning. BFN - meh. Why do I do this?

It’s too early and for all I know because I ovulated like 5 days later than usual, AF may be 5 days later too. Uggggghhhhh

@LKSF me too, really can’t imagine ever seeing another line. I must have POAS 100 times in 10 cycles. Even not associating it with pregnancy, just seeing another line after 100 blank would be shocking. Like a magic trick!

It is hard to imagine those 2 lines when you've had so many months of AF arriving bang on time.

Have you ever thought of trying visualisation / meditation? I do a bit with fertility yoga videos I found on YouTube. It's about developing a belief & trust that you will have your baby one day. It has helped me keep negative thoughts at bay.

@BernadetteSunday Oh why do we do this to ourselves, how can you not think about it every single minute of the day!!! I know what you mean, I always think about what it’s like for ppl to finally see that second line...must be the most exciting feeling!! X
@Skyla01 before the lockdown I was doing yoga to try help keep me calm and also acupuncture which helped me keep a positive spirit. X

@Sussexbysea I shouldn't test until the 14th but with my birthday on the 11th and wedding anniversary on the 12th I'm not sure I can wait. I'm also on night shifts next week and don't want to make myself miserable with a bfn. I find it's not as bad to get AF than to get a bfn! To be honest even with the few little symptoms I've had which let's face could just be pms I'd be flabbergasted if I got a bfp! I feel like the universe owes it to me after 21 cycles 😂

Fingers crossed your symptoms aren't due to your thyroid 🙏🏻 xx

@Skyla01 I haven’t tried this before but it sounds right up my street. What’s so weird about this whole journey is that I’m usually really positive - if I want to achieve something, I’ll visualise it, think about it, work to make it happen (lol sound like Beyoncé). But in this I haven’t followed it at all.
