Hi all,

I'm new here and looking for my cycle buddies.

Currently CD24, 8 DPO. I'm in my TWW and the wait is killing me! Tested with FMU today and BFN. Although I convinced myself I saw a shadow, I think it's probably my line eyes lol.

I miscarried my first pregnancy 23/08 at 4w2d ( CP )Sad

Praying for my BFP this monthHalo

Anybody else in the same boat??

Thanks @Bananatoast123

It's all still really confusing to me so will just try different things and see what happens.

AF seems to have stopped again so really not sure what's going on - have reached out to GP to see if there is anything to be concerned about as this is also really early for me so just want to make sure that there is nothing else going on

Bananatoast123 · 17/10/2022 10:10

@Firsttimetrying2022 could it be implantation bleeding? Maybe try test tomorrow? I’ve had a few cycles where my period was really early and I found stress was causing it. I now have a massage in my two week window and that helps!

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 10:26

@Bananatoast123 I thought so at first yesterday but then it was a bit stronger than I would've expected for implantation.

If it's still weird and on off I'll test tomorrow

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 10:28

I'm normally late when I'm stressed so maybe I've just relaxed too much this month 😂

Bananatoast123 · 17/10/2022 11:35

@Firsttimetrying2022 give it until tomorrow and test again! Last month I was on/off and it’s the worst!!

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 11:56

I think I'll leave testing until the weekend if I can - doesn't really change much and I think it'd be nicer to find out and have time to be happy/sad without having to go to work after

RJS20 · 17/10/2022 15:02

Sorry I’ve been quiet. AF made an appearance 4/5 days late which is extremely unusual for me. I did do a pregnancy test which BFN, went back after the 10 mins to chuck it out and there was a clear second line, must of just been an evap line but it’s hit me really hard this month.

Firsttimetrying2022 · 17/10/2022 16:46

@RJS20 sorry to hear about AF showing up

It's the worst when you're late and get your hopes up

Firsttimetrying2022 · 18/10/2022 17:20

AF is still being really weird - GP said light period is usually not anything to worry about - I'm still not convinced it's a period vs implantation bleeding ... DH thinks I'm going insane and should just accept that it hasn't happened. I feel crazy because part of me thinks I know my body and I know that this isn't usual for me, the other part of me thinks I'm just clinging to any bit of hope...:

Sorry for the rant 😅 just needed to get it out somewhere

ttcbaby12023 · 20/10/2022 23:23

How is everybody gang🤞🏼

13/14 dpo, no sign of AF which should have arrived two days ago, but latest BFN also two days ago. Going to test again tomorrow. Still light cramping, intermittent light nausea, fatigue, hormones unsettled, seem to be hungry all the time. Don't know what to think!

Bananatoast123 · 21/10/2022 07:53

AF came two days ago for me so onto cycle 9! Trying to stay positive and think I’m one step closer to getting a BFP!

iloveeggs · 21/10/2022 12:24

@ttcbaby12023 11 DPO, BFN this morning :(

Very cramp so I think AF is on her way but trying to stay positive

Firsttimetrying2022 · 24/10/2022 09:58

@ttcbaby12023 still BFN, still don't know what was going on with AF this month. GP recommended to take a test again in a few weeks or wait to see if next AF is normal again. For my sanity I will assume it's going to stay a BFN and move on with this month

TTC2022newbie · 24/10/2022 22:29

Hope everyone is doing ok?

I'm 7dpo I think and trying so hard not to think anything 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

What will be will be.

ttcbaby12023 · 25/10/2022 09:52

@TTC2022newbie How are you feeling lovely?

I'm 11 DPO today, AF due Friday so not testing until then! I've had sore boobs the last week or so, trying not to think too far into it!!✨

Hope everyone is doing ok Flowers

Ovulation day today (static smiley), DTD yesterday (flashing smiley morning, static smiley evening) and day before (flashing smiley). Hopefully will do later too but work may get in the way!

One year into TTC here but guesstimated ovulation for some of that so only a few months into tracking carefully and DTD strategically.

Am finding it tough emotionally after a year of hoping everything month, but trying to stay positive.

It really is so hard emotional isn't it.

I didn't think it would consume my mind as much as it has for the last 5 months.

Just keen holding on to the fact that I'll be worth it in the end

I think if it doesn't happen this month, cycle 5, I'll discuss and look into getting a private scan and check for me.
I don't want to wait for 12/18 months and then start checking...

🤞🙏 hope this is your month 😘

I don't think I've worried as much this month and it's kinda going quite quickly.

Just don't want to have to keen picking myself up when AF comes... 🤦🏼‍♀️😔

I keen seeing on other threads that people are getting BFP on like cycle 2 and just feels a bit crap, as happy as I am that they have BFP, just makes me think, what's wrong with me!

monsteramunch · 25/10/2022 12:59

@TTC2022newbie

That's what I keep thinking, it's the not knowing.

If I 100% knew it would definitely happen at some point then I would wait however long it took! Just the not knowing that's so hard.

Due to horrific periods (which make every month even tougher) I had some scans to check for fibroids and nothing.

So just got to keep DTD for now and keep everything crossed. Other than legs 😂

RJS20 · 25/10/2022 20:32

Evening all, sorry I’ve been a bit quiet.

We have stopped trying as such and just DTD when we want etc, if it doesn’t happen it doesn’t happen. I’ve just been so miserable the last couple of months and so hard on myself that I can’t live like that. I also felt like I was wishing away time 😢

Hope everyone gets their BFP soon and I know it must be really hard for those trying for awhile and it just doesn’t happen. Sending lots of baby dust to everyone 💕💕

ImpatienceOfASaint · 25/10/2022 20:57

Hello everyone, hope you don’t mind me joining in!

TTC cycle #2 after an 11 week miscarriage in Aug 2021 (which took 12 months to fall). 9dpo and BFN this morning but obviously symptom spotting like crazy 🙄convince myself I’m out one minute then drive myself mad the next. Currently obsessing over whether my nipples look really different to usual..!

Hugs to everyone else waiting, the limbo period is just bloody horrible isn’t it

Nypie · 25/10/2022 22:48

Hey ladies...disapeared for a bit I think I got too caught up on 3 being the charm 😂😂. cd 16 cycle 4 finally getting my ovulation pain!

👋👋👋 to everyone who is new

@ImpatienceOfASaint that is so incredibly harsh everything crossed that your sticky bean is on their way!

@RJS20 I've been feeling the exact same way this month I've just locked myself away for hours trying to get out of this horrible heavy mood. You're not alone, we'll get there.

Really hope this is your month @ttcbaby12023

Hope everyone one else is okay I can really relate to what you're all saying if someone told me you'll be pregnant on 7 months I'd say cool and get on with my life

monsteramunch · 25/10/2022 23:06

Sending you so much positivity @ImpatienceOfASaint I'm so sorry you've had such a tough time so far bless you Flowers

ImpatienceOfASaint · 26/10/2022 15:06

Mixed feelings today. Tested this morning and was BFN but then turned to this after about 10-15 minutes so putting down to an evap. Got absolute raging heartburn to the point it’s making me feel nauseous. Hope you’re all doing ok today!
