No AF and BFNs 🤷‍♀️

[ImpatientMama]

Hello! We are trying for our second child and I am frustrated. I am sure several of you can relate to being frustrated with this whole TTC thing. 😅 Anyways. AF was due 3 days ago and has not shown her ugly face yet. But I have also gotten nothing but negatives (and one invalid). I was planning on not testing again until AF is a week late. Anyone get their BFP that late or even later? I am irregular, so it could just be a late period? I just want to know if I really am pregnant or not, so I can move on! Thanks for any insight you all provide! 😊

@HJen22 yes I'm glad no more limbo and like you this one seems to be much heavier than my usual Af and more painful it's not nice at all

Just want it over with x

Yeah I was beginning to think the worse and what if it just never came!

@Donnat89 it's strange isn't it! Hopefully the pain eases up soon! I had quite bad cramps and bloating yesterday, bit less today and got our a walk.

I downloaded a meditation app today to try and stay chilled out 🧘🏻‍♀️ going to try and walk plenty and relax this month!

Hi guys, sorry to hear you have come on. Still no sign for me. My CM is thick and gloopy sorry to be TMI and has been for the last 5 days or so before that fairly watery. Who knows. It's my birthday next week and I don't really wanna test again beforehand as every time I see a bfn I feel down. Not sure when to do it next. A week I guess (see if AF comes before I waste more tests!)

@sociallydistained how many days late are you now? I know, I felt the same about seeing BFNs as well, just didn't want to see another one!

@sociallydistained same for me! Still no AF, done a test this afternoon and still BFN. Now I’m in a bad mood again for another night. Just want AF to show up as I’m getting increasingly frustrated and anxious. Boobs are still sore and more veiny than ever. It’s 5 days late for me now xx

It’s so disheartening seeing the bfn isn’t it
I need to look at some kind of stress management too I am going to have a look at some yoga or something online as I’m not helping myself by getting so stressed even though I try not to. The meditation app sounds good!

@HT1335 I downloaded the Ovia tracking app for a new one to try this month and it had an ad for it, it's called Expectful, 7 days free (just make sure you cancel if you don't want the year! You can also have a month at a time which I think I'll do it I like it this week).

@Darcy278 sorry things are still no clearer for you! We all feel your pain! It's so frustrating just waiting!

@HJen22 ooh thanks will have a look at this now
🤞🏻 Let’s hope it works and we’re chilled out x

@HT1335 it was a nice 10minutes, I just need to learn to switch off. I've tried meditation a few times before but find after a week or two I don't bother but I'm going to do this one every day, at least for the week and see how I get on! How are you coping with AF? X

@HJen22 Well it’s still sort of spotting today but it’s definitely on route, I’m still a bit disappointed but trying to be positive and relaxed.
Are you coping ok

@HT1335 oh sorry I thought fully here! I know the feeling! I'm feeling much better than yesterday, first day of AF always sucks, I'm normally a bit down in the dumps for days but I've been feeling like that the whole lead up so needed to be more positive now onto the next cycle x

I thought my period was really late because up until last month I had a shorter cycle but last months was indeed 34 days so now I'm only 2 days late by that standard. My boobs are so sore and have been for weeks (not usually a pms symptom of mine). I'm just cracking on until next week now as I can't cope with the bfn.

Have any of you ladies tried Conceive plus? Going to order some for next month as I’ve read soooo many success stories! @HT1335 @HJen22 @sociallydistained @ImpatientMama @Darcy278

@Bgrace8 I have heard really good things about conceive plus aswell! I’ve known about this product for a little while but wanted to see if we could conceive naturally again like last time. If this month is a no no then I think I may move onto these from next month! Xx

@Bgrace8 I haven't but I've had seven seas prenatal vitamins a couple of the months and going to try pregnacare this cycle! Anything is worth a try isn't it! Going to use clear blue advanced ovulation this month too! Tracking isn't for everyone but not knowing if id ovulated this month; after tracking previous, I think I'd rather know, but I chop and change my mind each month 😂

@HJen22 I used the ovulation last month and we DTD twice a day for 3 days over my ovulation and it still didn’t bloody work haha!! I’ll track again though because I like to know.

@Darcy278 would you take the supplements or the lubricant. I’m going to order some tomorrow and give it a go as literally most review I read is a success story!!

Ah of course there is the lubricant too, I haven't actually read up about that, does it get good reviews?

@Bgrace8 yeah I've used the cheap test sticks before too and did BBT along with it, I think for two cycles and it confirms ovulation, DTD last month 3 times over the week including ovulation day with no luck. But I'm not sure I do the sticks right, I can get so many different results taking photos with my phone so I thought I'd try the clear blue and it will do the reading and confusing bit for me 🤞🏻

@Bgrace8 I think I would get the lubricant as I am already taking pre-conception vitamins

Morning ladies. I done another test this morning but I’m not sure...I need some extra eyes to help me xx

I use the Ovia app! I used it with my first and have been using it now too. I like it. I have not taken Concieve Plus, but I have taken Conception pills I found on Amazon. Worked for my first. Stopped taking them when I saw my faint positive this time. After I go to the doctor today, I will figure out when to start them again.
@Darcy278 I definitely see a line! Test again in a couple days and hopefully it will be darker! Congrats!

@Darcy278 definitely see a line!

@Darcy278 ooh I see a line!!! How exciting

I’ve tried numerous pre pregnancy ranging from Holland and Barrats (yuk they are big and smelly) to more expensive pregnacare ones I’ve been on them for months as has my partner I think the only thing we’ve got tried it lube and tracking bbt bug we’ve tried everything else with no success yet unfortunately

Thanks girls! I just done another one as the line on the first one was going away! Can defo see it better on this one! But what if it’s a chemical pregnancy? Has anyone had one? Thinking that’s maybe why I’m testing positive so late? Really confused ☹️

@Darcy278 I see a line too!!! So exciting! Congrats!

Yeah I think I like Ovia better than Femometer, cos I paid for the upgrade of Femometer it gives like predictions and things which just gives false hope! My pregnacare tablets came today and just waiting for the clear blue ovulation tests. Onwards and upwards 😊

@Darcy278 sorry I hadn't seen your most recent post! That's definitely a darker line!! You haven't tested positive that late have you, 5 days? And did you have confirmed ovulation, you maybe just ovulated later than you thought! Xx
