Really random, but my anxiety has been EXTREMELY high today, like the slightest thing I'm panicking over and it's driving me insane. I feel like I'm constantly on edge today. Haven't felt this way for like 5 years! Obviously symptom spotting again but waiting to test until Tuesday. Could this be caused by early pregnancy? I feel so on edge🥲x

@justanothermummma I took my own coil out years ago because I'd had it in for ages and was continuously bleeding and they were trying to make me wait another 6 weeks. I couldn't cope with the idea of another 6wks after finally deciding to get it out so I spent over an hour trying to pull it out which I eventually did. Wish I hadn't as now it's one of the things I worry about as a reason for me not conceiving 😣

@chlx3 I'm sorry your feeling so anxious. Anxiety is really awful, I find that even just being in the TWW can make mine spiral with all the unknown. Are you able to spend the day tomorrow doing something to pamper/ treat yourself and take your mind off any symptoms? Xx

Decided to take my bbt this morning for reassurance that I've ovulated (haven't tracked it this month but have done it enough months to have an accurate idea of what is pre/post O).

It's very much at pre ovulation level which is so frustrating. So looks like I got a false peak on the tests I did and false symptoms, and not actually ovulated yet!! Who knows what the spotting was yesterday! 🤯
Can't decide whether to just log out of all apps and think fuck it! I'm not tracking anything anymore between now and our fertility review in a few months, or stock up on opks and throw all my energy in to tracking again.

I'm so fed up of all of this to be honest and the thought of having a few months without the constant mental and emotional fuckery is v appealing but probably not even achievable.

Sorry for the rant here, no need to reply I think it's just helping me to write this all down 🤷‍♀️

emmatcc1 · 29/05/2023 07:33

11dpo still negative. I had a bbt rise today but I’m fully expecting it to drop tomorrow and this being yet another failed cycle.

Oh no! What CD are you? 😫 I'm sorry, that's so frustrating.

Tracking can add so much unnecessary stress, I found BBT tracking / analysing really stressful with my son, so I ditched it. I also ovulated a little later than expected this month which also freaked me out. I think it sounds like ditching OPKs and BBT could help you reset? Just until your fertility review?

Fingers crossed! Almost 21% of pregnant women don't get a positive on DPO 11. I follow the Fertility Homeopath on YouTube and she only recommends testing from 13DPO. You aren't out yet!

Morning you! Oh bless you. I totally get why you feel defeated and deflated. What date was your last period? ‘Generally’ it’s 14 days after day 1 of your last period that you ovulate. So for me, I came on last Tuesday so it should be next Tuesday (ish give or take). Did you say this is month 18 of trying?? Have you booked to see your GP? Have you tracked and monitored your prev cycles? Sorry all the questions. Don’t lose hope tho 💛hope is what keeps us going. and you WILL get pregnant again just a case of when not if. I totally get the mental and emotional strain - maybe a month out won’t be so bad? Get a massage (have wine!!) and Jusy take yourself away for a month. But don’t give up. Your time will 100% happen. Sending love. X

Sorry to hear your anxiety is high! TTC puts a lot of pressure on us. Equally, I have a very confident friend who was anxious during pregnancy. So you never know!

I love you’re busting out the facts like me. I love a good percentage stat!

another few here if anyone wants a pick me up today. Feel like we all need it today for some reason. I’ve reached peak ‘fuck off’ with it all.

  • After one month of trying, 38% were pregnant
  • After three months of trying, 68% were pregnant
  • After six months of trying, 81% were pregnant
  • After 12 months of trying, 92% were pregnant

@LeopardLover I couldn't even sleep last night because I was just so panicked! My temp has sat at 36.6 for like 6 days now? Is this a good sign? Keep getting bad heartburn too x

GeoSmed · 29/05/2023 07:52

justanothermummma · 28/05/2023 23:30

@GeoSmed yeah took her own coil out, twice!! She's all baby'd out now!

I've had friends go through fertility treatment but not ever got the full ins and outs, I'm v curious though. My Mum went through it to have me but has never really discussed it at length.

My friend has recently fell pregnant through ivf after a decade of trying. I learnt as much as I could about the process so I could understand and support her through it. I can never understand her struggle fully, but I really wanted to try to understand the process so I could be a support to her. I hope you get your bfp soon lovely, I really do. X

Ouchie! Yeah wait for the GP 😂 not even sure I’d know where to bring to get it out.

thags so kind that you did a lot of research for her. It’s so hard to explain unless you’re going through it and you have to be emotionally jnvesterday in it throughout the process. So happy for your mate tho. It’s so wonderful when it all goes smoothly.

we are trying to do semi natural atm as I don’t want to put my body through the torture of doing IVF just right no as it takes so much out of me I Jusy need a break from it. So we’re doing ovulation induction assisted atm which is all the elements of ivf (stimming, injections, trigger to ovulate et ) but instead of then having an operation for ivf, we conceive naturally. They reckon it’ll work so we’ll see. I Jusy don’t want to go do ivf when it takes your body loads to get ready and I’m just not ready yet to hit that again.

fingers crossed ok the scan shortly! Have you got 2 did you say? How old are you? Sorry if you’ve told me all this but it’s also 7:45 and my brains still doesn’t know why I’m awake.

Amy95 · 29/05/2023 07:55

So I've tested it's a bfn xx

dabs9 · 29/05/2023 07:56

@LeopardLover I'm CD19. I normally have long and quite irregular cycles but this month I really thought my body was doing what it should be doing at a reasonable time! Silly me. All the signs were there.

My LMP was 11th May. Yeah approaching month 18, have been to see the GP and have had fertility investigations. Was offered ovulation support but I opted against it and to try and focus on healthy eating and exercise instead (my BMI is less than 30 but could use a bit of work lol).
Have tracked my cycles to a T for most of the last 18 months minus the odd month where I just couldn't face it. And I've never been pregnant before so I'm just feeling like it's never going to happen.
IVF referral will go off in a few months if still ttc.
I really hope your scan goes well today @GeoSmed ! X

dabs9 · 29/05/2023 08:11

@Amy95 thank you, I'm ok. Have had a good cry this morning and hoping that's it out of the way for the day lol.
Have got spotting again this morning so honestly fuck knows what's going on. The last time I had random spotting like this I missed a whole cycle and ended up ovulating on CD54. So I'm mentally preparing for something like that.

I wish it was easy to just switch off from all the cycle tracking. If anyone has any tips I'm open to them! Hahah xx

A good cry does soemtimes make you feel that little bit better , that's very weird isn't it , I really do get that I've been through deleting all my apps and giving up ,it's so hard when your ttc the amount of pressure we also put on ourselves our times will come 🤞, I know I wasnt expecting a bfp this morning so it didn't surprise me it was a bfn xx

Oh babes I’m sorry. 😞 how’d you feel? It’s okay tho. I know it’s easy to say but I had to say it to myself last week that it wasn’t meant to be this month and it’s your first full month tracking. Check out those stats I shared - it’s going to happen. It’s just not this month. Think longer ahead / you’ll have a spring baby if you conceive next month 💓

@Amy95 until your period shows up, you're not out! 🤍

I did 3 tests this morning and thought I could see a vfl but then did a clearblue and it was negative? 11dpo today and now I think I'm out for the month :(
Could you girls have a look and tell me what you think? Don't have anyone else to ask🥲🤞🏼x

I feel like I can almost see something but I'm not sure!? Test again tomorrow maybe? Which type of test is this? I never touched a Clear Blue until I was further along. It's still early - most people implant 8-10DPO and then it can take 2-3 days for HCG to rise. So there's still a chance!

LeopardLover · 29/05/2023 09:51

Amy95 · 29/05/2023 07:55

So I've tested it's a bfn xx

I test at 18DPO when I was pregnant with my son. I think I implanted late. My point is, you are still really early! Plenty more days to test. Maybe wait again until you are 12DPO if you can?

chlx3 · 29/05/2023 09:54

@LeopardLover I'll be 12dpo yesterday. Not sure what tests they are, found them on Amazon but how likely is it to get an evap or indent on all 3 tests? I'm due period in 4 days and I'm still getting cramps. We were having sex night before last and I had to stop because I was getting bad cramps, which usually happens the day or a few hours before I get my period, but so far, nothing. Looked at a test I did yesterday and looks like a vfl with colour. Really thinking I'm out for this month, so many women get their bfps on 11dpo but I think mine are all negative x
