BFN this morning...still no sign of AF 🤷‍♀️ Don’t know what’s going on. Was ready to be all calm but AF not showing has got my Hopes up. Agony waiting! Will be another knicker checking day

TTC chat!
Waiting2BeaMama · 05/11/2020 12:53

@Bouncytree must be so hard for you waiting to find out. I can imagine it must be torture. Really hope af doesn’t show up and you get your bfp soon x

Originalusername6432762 · 05/11/2020 14:15

@Bouncytree
Are you due on yet or still early testing?

Bouncytree · 05/11/2020 15:22

@Waiting2BeaMama and @Originalusername6432762

Actually I think I was one day off and AF is due today. Still no show. Feeling horrific! Thought Af was coming, mad cramps. But also horrible nausea, can’t concentrate, had to lie on the floor for a while. 😰 been cramping on and off for 6 days now.

Can’t figure out if this is some kind of mutant monster AF or if PG and it not showing up.

Test was a FRER this morning Even though it’s AF day.

Total limbo right now 🤷‍♀️

Been on knicker alert all day! 🚨

How is everyone else doing?

MamaMoonbeam · 05/11/2020 15:30

@Bouncytree
I just had the wind knocked out if my sails when another colleague has announced she's pregnant. It's like a little kick in the guts, isn't it?

I'm scared to be wanting something so badly and very worried about how my MH might be effected should we not get pregnant quickly.
I have been referred to the perinatal mental health team but it's been nearly 4 weeks and not heard from them yet ... so feeling a little glum right now

2495KaJa · 05/11/2020 15:32

Hi I was just wondering if any of you could help me out? I came off the mini pill 4 weeks ago and tests keep showing what I thought was an evap line but I just ran a test under water and no line appeared. This is the one I weed on 😂 I've had 6 ic with the faintest line this bei g the darkest. I only came off the mini pill 4 weeks agoxx

2495KaJa · 05/11/2020 15:33

Here it is sorry

MamaMoonbeam · 05/11/2020 15:34

@2495KaJa best to start your own thread, lovely and post a picture x

2495KaJa · 05/11/2020 15:36

Hello Mamatomoonbeam,
How do I do that? I started one a long time ago but I seem to have forgotten how to do so 😆 I can't find the start a thread button could you direct me please? 😊 Xx

MamaMoonbeam · 05/11/2020 15:41

@2495kaja if you go back to the Conception page chat, there should be a little + at the bottom for starting a thread rather than a post :-)

2495KaJa · 05/11/2020 16:01

Thank you xx

Dex1521 · 05/11/2020 16:14

@2495KaJa hey i came off the mini pill just over a week ago and just wondering how long it took you to get your withdrawal bleed and first period as I’m so impatient and feel like mine is taking forever to arrive 😂

2495KaJa · 05/11/2020 16:19

@dex1521
It took about 2 days then I bled very lightly for 2 days and that's been it since! I'd only been on the pill a few months tho so I don't know if that effects it xx

Dex1521 · 05/11/2020 16:23

@2495KaJa ah ok thanks. I’ve been on it about 18 months and had the implant before that. I’m also slightly overweight but follow slimming world and I am quite fit. But I don’t know if being overweight affects it either.

Originalusername6432762 · 05/11/2020 17:35

@Bouncytree
Hope you get an answer soon, I had that last month as af was late, hopefully you get the other answer!!

@MamaMoonbeam
It's hard isn't it, especially if no one knows you are trying and you have to pretend!

apwilso · 05/11/2020 17:51

Loosing track of this chat! I'm sorry

I was originally due on today but have received all negatives apart from that faintest line on the one the other day. Totally fed up. I know I'm not out till AF but I'm confused due apparently Tuesday so possibly early I'm just so impatient 🥺 my symptoms are weird gone extremely off like lightheaded, feel like I crave food but not hungry. It's so weird

How's everyone doing?❤️

OP posts:
MamaMoonbeam · 05/11/2020 18:02

@originalusername6432762 it is hard :-(

Hey @apwilso I'm feeling bummed out. Just found out another colleague is pregnant and haven't heard from the Perinatal Mental Health team - I was referred 3/4 weeks ago by my psychiatrist.
Just, ugh!

@MamaMoonbeam nothing worst! It's not nice! That's ridiculous you should get an appointment for mental health xxx

OP posts:
MamaMoonbeam · 05/11/2020 18:39

@apwilso waiting is the worst. Yea, it's a wait especially if we were waiting to start TTC until I'd heard from them! I might call my psychiatrist's secretary tomorrow and see when the referral was made and to try and get my psych to chase it up... although I am very tempted to call the perinatal MH team directly but think I may well get stonewalled doing that. Rock and a hard place.

Something i am grateful for though is that i am still able to work seeing as I work in a school so that should make the TWW go a little quicker!

Im sorry you're in a bit of a knicker watch limbo at the moment. We're here to hold your hand and to vent at though xx

Waiting2BeaMama · 05/11/2020 19:28

Hi @apwilso still a good chance you could be pg if you’ve not had af yet. Hopefully another day or so and you’ll get your bfp!

I’ve just had some really pink spotting when I went to the toilet there. I’m 6dpo and had some crampin today... could this be implantation bleeding? 🤔
