@dunkedbiscuit welcome back, it really is a merry go round isn't it!! Hope your ok and 🤞 you get what you want soon!

@DinkyGT sorry AF reared her ugly head. Glad you've got your DP on board!

Fingers crossed 🤞 for us all!!

I chased the drs again and have a telephone appointment booked but not until 21st June, to discuss my blood test results. I couldn't get out of the receptionist if the dr reviewed my results and wants to discuss them with me or if receptionist didn't know so just made me an appointment. So frustrating having to wait so long!

Notifications weren't telling me this thread was updated. Bad Mumsnet!

@dunkedbiscuit So sorry to hear about your CP. Hope you're doing ok. Good luck for this cycle.

@DinkyGT Mother Nature is a right bitch for making the signs of implantation and impending AF the same. Hoping for the best for your next cycle.

@Cantthinkofaname99 How awful making you wait so long for your results! At my GP, if anything comes back out of range (even if it had nothing to do with what you're being tested for) the receptionist will make you an appointment. Hopefully you'll finally get some answers and solutions at your appointment.

As for me, if what I was feeling back a few posts ago was ovulation, then I should be at the end of the TWW. No symptoms, so not getting my hopes up, but if I am on a 32 day cycle, I've still got another week to go until AF. How can one month be so long?

@Cantthinkofaname99 that's ridiculously long to wait! For goodness sake!! Hope it comes round quick and gives you some reassurance though. It's just relentless this TTC lark isn't it 😕

Hi all

I’m still about but needed a bit of a breather
No pregnancy yet. This is our 9th month of trying
I had 21 day corrected bloods which showed progesterone of 31- so just about high enough. I also temped for a month and had a rise, so it does look like I’m ovulating at least some of the time .
My DH submitted semen analysis today

We already have a 5 year old, so I know i “can” get pregnant. I’m working in a stressful, long hour front line job, and sort of hoping this is to blame as it will be ending soon. Every new announcement is difficult, and now we are seeing people more I feel people are constantly asking when number 2 is happening :(

Ahhh @WaitingForEgg I'm sorry, I know the feeling with the constant announcements and questions about #2. It's really bloody hard isn't it 😕

Oh @WaitingForEgg it is so hard isn't it? So many people around me are all having babies and I don't think I've ever seen as many pregnant people walking around! It's making me super broody and very jealous and I'm just so tired of waiting for everything!
That's my little rant over - sorry - it's been a long day and an incredibly long week too 😂

Thanks for the empathy @DinkyGT and @dunkedbiscuit and sorry you’re feeling the same. I’m a little heavier than when I had my daughter so keep beating myself up that maybe this is the reason, but simultaneously don’t have the energy to do anything about it. I think when I move jobs I’m going to need to tackle it

@WaitingForEgg I'm the same - I am struggling with eating better and reducing caffeine etc etc and keep getting annoyed at myself for not losing weight.
The thing I keep hearing the most is just to relax and look after ourselves so I'm trying to think more like this! Hope you're ok and hope you can give yourself a break 😘

@DinkyGT and @WaitingForEgg I'm pretty much the same, carrying a bit of extra weight compared to before had DS, TTC doesn't help though, as I find I can be healthy for a couple of weeks but then the stress of it all makes me eat rubbish again! I have managed to cut my caffeine down loads, only have one cup of tea and some decaf coffees, although I think the number of teas is creeping back up!

I've just looked and we're on cycle 11, June will be month 10 of trying, seem to be getting lines on OPKs a bit earlier this cycle so fingers crossed 🤞 that's a positive sign, I'm really clutching at anything asa positive sign now, feel like it's taking forever!!

Sorry for some reason I didn’t get notifications there were messages on this chat! I’m 15DPO, CD34 today and impatiently waiting for AF to arrive. Keep wondering if I should take a test but think i would be more disappointed with a BFN than AF. I just knew I was pregnant with my 1st and don’t have that feeling this time

Same situation here @Sunshine8888. CD 30, no longer sure I ovulated. If my cycles are like what they were pre-pregnancy, AF is due on Saturday. Just in time to interfere with the first time I've seen my family since Christmas.... No real feeling that I'm pregnant (despite hyper symptom spotting), so I'm reasonably sure I'm out for this month. With DD, I had a positive test (and feeling) a few days before I was due on as well.... Roll on the next cycle!

Think I’m out this cycle as well. AF appears to have arrived 7 days early! I’m sure our bodies just like to mess with us.

I'm out too AF arrived a day early according to my app! So disappointed but on to the next cycle & a big cuddle with DC 1

I’m grumpy and crappy so pretty sure I’m out too :( On to cycle 10

*Crampy but actually... lol

@Igglepiggle91 and @whiteflower84 sorry AF has shown up for you guys.
@WaitingForEgg for never know until she actually tears her ugly head.

I've got spotting today CD21, 6dpo, so I'm in the us it implantation bleeding/if it AF once again, this bit drives me crazy!!

@Cantthinkofaname99

Symptom spotting is the absolute worst

I’m day 34 currently. Cycles 31-35 average but have been known to be up to 37 very occasionally

I feel grumpy and “periody” but nothing yet

@WaitingForEgg yeah it's not fun! The problem is pms symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms are pretty much the same! Fingers crossed for you.

About an hour after I posted that AF showed up for sure so I had about a 20 day cycle, I thought my cycles might be getting longer but apparently not!

Sorry AF reared her ugly head for you @Cantthinkofaname99.

CD36 now. Took the plunge and tested, but a glaring BFN. I had a BFP a couple of days before AF was due with DD, so I am pretty certain I am out. Lousy cycle evidently still isn't regular, so no idea when to date from for the next cycle to boot

Sorry @Dyra and @Cantthinkofaname99 😕 hope you are both doing ok?

I'm around 11dpo and had some very light spotting yesterday so of course have convinced myself that's implantation 🤷‍♀️😂 I won't test until my periods actually late, as after last months chemical I can't be dealing with faint lines / squinters as that will just stress me out. So we'll see I guess.

Is anyone else due to test soon? X

AF has reared her ugly head (just as id convinced myself I was definitely pregnant, planning mat leave etc all in my head 😂) onto cycle 6 we go I guess...

@dunkedbiscuit my af showed up 4 days late. Cramps for 4 days thought was implantation but no :( i took like 3 pregnancy tests too! Got my hopes up too high. 😔

@dunkedbiscuit and @abbs1 sorry AF showed up for you both, our bodies have an annoying way of messing with us!

We're going camping middle of next week, which is about when I will be fertile so think I'm going have to pretty much right off this cycle (sharing a tent with our 3 year old!). It also means I'm going to have a break from doing opks. I know when AF is due I'll still be hopeful, even if it will be pretty much impossible!!

I am so frustrated this cycle - don't think I've ovulated despite positive OPKs as had my covid jab around the same time and it seems to have messed up my cycle. We have been SMEPing like pros as well 😏

I returned to tracking temps as I couldn't deal with not knowing what's happening but now I'm not sure it's helped...I've attached my chart for those interested 😂

Just the agonising wait for AF now...
