@jmase im with you. AF arriving bummed me out, but I gotta look at the positive and give next cycle my all!

I have recently found a bit of comfort in affirmations about baby and their arrival.. It's not for everyone but i thought I would share as it has helped me realise I can do everything right and to the book, but if its not time yet its not. It will happen, I need patience..

If I could also take my own advice it would help 😂

Sending love to all, if a new thread it made please add me 😊✨

jmase · 16/10/2022 10:20

@Chaoscontrol we will get there. I have gotten pregnant before. Unfortunately it was a MMC at 7weeks. I just feel so silly now after all the bloody pregnancy tests I did thinking I saw lines 😒 looking forward to the next cycle. I told DH to prepare himself 😂

@Luckymum89 hope you’re enjoying the bubble!!! I didnt come back with my update… so for you and for all.. here goes…

so on Friday eve at 7 ish!? We got a call from the GP and overwhelmingly it wasn’t all bad news.
i was convinced i was going to hear something horrible which explains our secondary infertility - but it isn’t me, it’s husband. He’s got low count which can be corrected/ improved from what we were told by GP positively. They’re all healthy and strong, just not as many as they’d expect. And apparently it “will” happen for us it’s just been halving the chances every time ??

I’m gutted she got hub on the phone and not me as I had so many more questions.But as they had my bloods already I figured no point testing now as they’d have probably shown early pregnancy! So I switched off and enjoyed my bday!

and that’s it, I feel good we have something to work on but WISH I had paid for a private earlier doctor rather than waiting the year, (I didn’t want to hear it was me or worse news so I buried my head!) … but kicking myself now, we live and learn. Onto the next few months with a new sense of direction in this TTC journey x

fingers all crossed for everyone else this month! 🤍

lottieb92 · 16/10/2022 11:07

I maybe should have put a TW on the post, and I don’t mean to be insensitive at all!
I really hope that doesn’t come across, I just have been in a world of guilt and upset for nearly 16 months thinking I’m doing something wrong every TWW - and I really hope that my sense of relief reaches anyone else going through the same thing.

TTC is such a personal and difficult journey and I wish everyone on here their dream babe x

Luckymum89 · 16/10/2022 11:17

@lottieb92 I have been thinking of u girl! Wondering how u was getting on. I'm so glad u got to enjoy your birthday and give yourself a break for a little while. It's brilliant news that all is OK!!! So if the swimmers are healthy but low in numbers would dtd more often help? Af was due today for.me obviously didn't arrive and I've been feeling like I'm living a different life since my bfp lol I told my mum on Friday but I'm so nervous as it's early days yet so just gonna burst until I can tell anyone else. Especially my ds as he's 5 and been asking for a baby for quite some time! It's difficult to keep.my mouth shut haha. I rang docs Friday and they gave me a number for the early pregnancy unit but on the website it says from 6 weeks and I'm only 4 weeks today so gonna wait a bit. Please still keep me updated on your journey ❤️

I am still shattered and my boobs are killing 😅 9dpo now, last time I didn't test positive until the night of 9dpo so I'm feeling very anxious testing time is so nearly here!

NSx · 16/10/2022 15:42

@Endogal will u test tonight ? ✨🤞

Endogal · 16/10/2022 17:08

@NSx I deffs will be! Already tested today but BFN, I did have that last time too though! Trying not to get my hopes up but I'm just not convinced my boobs could hurt this much if I wasn't pregnant 😐

lottieb92 · 16/10/2022 17:47

@Luckymum89 i bet!! I’ve also said to myself I wouldn’t tell anybody straight away! But I know I’d be blabbing to my twin and my mum as soon as that stick says pregnant 😅 just do what feels right! So glad you’re enjoying the bubble!

well looking online - it looks like every 2-3 days is best for low count, giving it time to readjust! We usually do every day or every other so that’s something new we can try! And he’s got to take some extra vitamins and now that I can finally relax! I think it’ll all come together.

my af is due tomorrow and I am expecting her - but if somehow a miracle occurs you’ll be the first to know 😂

Luckymum89 · 16/10/2022 17:59

@lottieb92 yes get your arse on here and let me know 🤣 do u know what it probably will all come together once u relax and not let it consume u. Its so easy for it to take over because it did with me! I Will keep absolutely everything possible crossed for u!!! Have u had any cramping or any signs of af? @Endogal gooooooood luck!!!!! Xxx

I tell you what ladies one thing that's driving me crazy this time that I've never had before is insane thirst. Like I am actually going to die unless I get my hands on fluids kind of thirst! I'm even dreaming about drinking water 🤣 it's a new one for me and @Endogal I could cry with the pain in my boobs too. It's not pleasant

I'm 7 dpo and this evening been having some sharp pains in lower abdomen. This never happened before. Really hoping is implantation cramps 🙏 🤞

NSx · 16/10/2022 22:10

I don’t know if anyone else feels like this, but I can never tell if the things I feel are real or I’m making them up in my head symptom spotting 😂😅

5 days before period. Tested BFN on pricey clear blue. Feel so deflated!! I was really hopeful as never noticed my nipples sticking out so much before as they are now. Here's to tiny hoping AF doesn't show up!!

Yes absolutely!! Every little thing I’m like hmmm could this be?! I wish I didn’t do it cause I think it gets my hopes up

NSx · 17/10/2022 10:17

@Bookworm9319 wish I could turn my brain off 😂😂😂

Luckymum89 · 18/10/2022 09:10

Good morning ladies how are u all? Any update with anybody?!

OP posts:
Plumbibii · 18/10/2022 09:20

Morning!! How are you? I tested negative 5 days early. Funny until i tested i kept having all these symptoms and now all have disappeared, even my nipples have gone back to normal. Crazy how your mind can trick your body into developing all the copy cat signs. Waiting patients for Af now !! X

2021lady · 18/10/2022 09:29

I am now 5 days late. But still testing negative. So annoying
I've used a clearblue blue dye 1 and my friends have said get a pink dye. So that's my plan for today.

But I'm not getting my hopes up..trying not to anyway lol

ChloeN · 18/10/2022 09:37

I’m 5dpo today so still a long wait ahead for me! Good luck to any of you testing in the next couple of days 🤞🏻

Emmacb82 · 18/10/2022 09:50

Hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m roughly 8dpo (didn’t track this month) and got bfn this morning. Had a chemical last month so feel quite deflated. I am lucky to have 2 boys and as I’m 40 I had pretty much given up on a 3rd until last month when I saw that positive test. Now it’s really spurred me on to want a third but I don’t think it’s going to happen. Feel very guilty feeling like this as I know some are ttc their first. But can’t help how you feel I suppose. Wishing everyone all the luck in the world 💗💙

lottieb92 · 18/10/2022 15:09

@Luckymum89 - AF arrived as I expected / I have a blood test tomorrow anyway so that will feel like a box ticked!

I have all the vitamins arriving for DH within a few days, he was already on some but now we know his swimmers are low we will do our best to improve things by taking certain ones! Can’t harm to try!

so onto the next one- it feels good to know we are better off every other day or every two days this month! Sooo a different approach might keep it fresh 😂💀 here’s hoping!

in the mean time, we have decided we will be calling in a private Dr after the new year of things still aren’t our way by the end of this year 🤍
and if second analysis comes back the same look into our options from there… still hoping to hope that it’ll happen without intervention for us

Luckymum89 · 18/10/2022 16:03

@lottieb92 well at least u now know how to improve the situation. It's only going to make that bfp closer!!! It's so good reading you have it all planned out and are keeping positive about it. I cannot wait for your bfp! U totally deserve it after all of this 🤍 try and enjoy the process now you know what you're dealing with xx

Welcome huni! I know its frustrating and it gets u down but Try to stay positive. I know it feels like forever and its never going to happen but it will! Try testing again in a couple of days? I got a very faint bfp at 10dpo on a frer but my clearblue digi didn't pick it up!
