Hya all

I am new to mums net. I am currently in my tww and losing hope again for this month. My af is due Friday the 24th. I have no symptoms really! Slight bruised feeling in sides of my boobs, and yesterday and sharp stabbing pains in my pelvic area. That's about it really. Just feel like af will show again and it's not happened again. This was my chart for this month as well and when we dtd

rita83 · 17/12/2021 13:23

Try testing again @Mama500 have u had af type pain or aching with it ?

OP posts:
Mama500 · 17/12/2021 13:34

Loads of aching @rita83 pretty sure it’s AF and can’t bare another BFN

rita83 · 17/12/2021 14:17

This was what I was like @Mama500 and was soo convinced af was coming and just keep waiting for it thinking it will be any day now and it never came x

Mama500 · 17/12/2021 14:18

Did you spot @rita83

rita83 · 17/12/2021 14:27

No had really bad aching though low down on and off for three or four days.

Just done a FRER BFN

Mama500 · 17/12/2021 16:18

Update - Evap line

Mama500 · 17/12/2021 16:55

Update - think I just got AF

FlyOnTheWall89 · 17/12/2021 19:05

@Mama500 this sounds like a really shitty day - big hugs. I think you should put all sticks down and see if AF is AF - you’ll probably know tomorrow xxx

Mama500 · 17/12/2021 20:42

Thank you @FlyOnTheWall89 I’m feeling ok as didn’t have my hopes up. This is the evap (outside of the time frame)

2WW anyone? Af due Friday
Cruz86 · 17/12/2021 21:12

Thank you all. I've taken the approach to not worry about dtd on fertile days but I'm not going to use opks until March, unless we're lucky and it happens before that!

I just know how terribly guilty I'd feel if baby was born on either of their birthdays, or if I was in hospital over my little boy's birthday for example.

Are you going to test before AF is due @FlyOnTheWall89 or just see what happens?

So sorry @Mama500, that's a horrible evap line 😞 I have spotting before AF every cycle and had it when I got my bfp too, but I'm convinced my progesterone levels were the reason why the pregnancy couldn't be sustained, so I think I'm going to test too. Started taking an abundance of vitamins too to see if they do anything!

How long have you been trying again @Mama500? I can't imagine the upset month after month. Thinking of you xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 17/12/2021 23:38

@Cruz86 I’m not sure if I’ll test - I probably will to manage expectations. Next cycle will be cycle 9 so it’s getting all a bit gloomy as each month passes. I want to start temping next month but really struggle with keeping it accurate - I’ve seen a few stories of people ovulating at very different times to where their OPKs / Apps tell them they’ll ovulate so I might have to try a bit harder with it next month. X

Cruz86 · 17/12/2021 23:49

I've really got everything crossed for you @FlyOnTheWall89. Hopefully things have been a little more relaxed with Christmas coming up and it's helped! My cycles are 28/29 days and apps were telling me id ovulate on cd14, but I didn't get my first peak opk until cd16 and I reckon if I'd have temped too, it would've told me I didn't actually ovulate until cd20/21. So long story short (🤦🏼‍♀️) I definitely think it's worth doing what you can to pinpoint ovulation exactly xx

Mama500 · 18/12/2021 09:27

Everything crossed for your BFP @FlyOnTheWall89.

I’m out! Not a surprise

FlyOnTheWall89 · 18/12/2021 11:41

@Mama500 @Cruz86 thanks guys. I don’t feel even a smidge different tbh so I highly doubt it. Ye, I’ll defo temp next cycle I think - will be really interesting. I’ve done it to prevent before and I had clear and obvious changes in temp but don’t have the data anymore annoyingly and you may MUCH less attention than when you’re trying to have a baby. 🤞🏻 Something happens soon for us. X

Mama500 · 18/12/2021 21:58

Sorry @Cruz86 I missed your message. Since June actively.

I take a lot of vits too but have been less strict this month. What ones do you take? X

Cruz86 · 18/12/2021 23:18

@FlyOnTheWall89 It's crazy how much we don't realise about our bodies before TTC isn't it! No signs doesn't necessarily mean anything. Not too much longer to wait.

@Mama500 oh I'm sorry 😞 I don't know how you still have the energy to keep going every month. You've got this!

I started taking b-complex, vit c, magnesium, iron and vit d so nothing out of the ordinary! Oh and folic acid. I've read things about Agnus castus to help with progesterone levels so I might start taking that in the new year xx

Mama500 · 21/12/2021 21:01

@Cruz86 I’ve got a blood test booked for day 22 in my cycle!

How is everyone? @ladylou17 @FlyOnTheWall89 @rita83

rita83 · 21/12/2021 21:18

Hello ladies. I am doing well thank you. I have my first midwife appointment tomo and hubby is coming in with me. Just hope all goes ok that's all. Haven't had bleeding since that day when I went to the hospital. Has a lot of white cm today so hopefully this is all good. Boobs absolutely kill ladies and wouldn't wish it upon any of you! Never had this with my others and my mood has been very bad this time as well. I have felt low some days and really down. I am hoping this will pass as well. It hasn't been a joyful experience and I am hoping all these hormones subside for me and then I can enjoy. Waiting for the 12 week scan as well is killing me also. I hope you ladies are doing ok. Keep your spirits up and high cos it will happen for you 😌 I am keeping everything crossed for you xx

Hi girls, AF arrived today, 3 days early. Pretty gutted but holding it together. Hope you’re all okay x

Mama500 · 22/12/2021 16:32

@rita83 sorry to hear you’ve been having a rough time of it. Good luck for your first apt!

@FlyOnTheWall89 so sorry. Glad it’s out the way for Xmas day! FX for new year BFP for us x

Cruz86 · 28/12/2021 12:18

Hi everyone, so sorry for the radio silence! It has been absolutely manic and I'm only just getting a bit of downtime - first time in about 3 weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 Hope you've had a lovely Christmas?

Let us know your results from your bloods @Mama500. Will be interesting to see if that is an issue!

@FlyOnTheWall89 so sorry af arrived just before Christmas 😞 How are you feeling?

@rita83 how did your midwife appt go? Sorry it's been tough, just got to try and get through this first part before your hormones start to level out a little!

I started spotting a tiny amount on Boxing Day and it hasn't progressed yet, and I'm also getting terrible left sided pain so I'm a little concerned. Will wait and see what happens over the next few days xx

rita83 · 28/12/2021 12:31

Hya all @Cruz86 not good news for ma I am afraid. I woke up Boxing Day bleeding everywhere. I am not in a good place at the moment and feel so helpless. I phoned the midwife's on Boxing Day morning and was told they couldn't refer me for a scan as they are not allowed to do that anymore and was told to ring 111 which o did. I then spoke with a dr and was asked questions etc. i lost blood over Boxing Day and the next day bleeding when I wipe and still like this today. I am so scared at the moment as I have not seen tissue pass or fetus of any kind either. They won't scan me until tomo at 11am and I have been left for three days like this!!! Tbh I am not expecting them to say baby is there this time. All I am worried about is if they say it's still there but needs to come out, I am scared of going through this process as I have never had to do this at all

Mama500 · 28/12/2021 12:35

@Cruz86 oh wow when is AF due?

@rita83 oh my goodness I’m so sorry I cannot believe they have left you like that for 3 days. How many weeks are you? Will be thinking of you tomorrow
