[Muddysocks1]

As suggested, because so many of us on the other thread, shall we have a little roll call?

@AlbatrossSocietycongrats!!

Congratulations @AlbatrossSociety !!!

10DPO here and BFN on easy @ home. Not surprised, we’ve been trying for years!

Just been to the toilet and there's some red 😞 hoping it's nothing but preparing for the worst. Guess I'll be toilet paper investigator for the rest of the day. Any advice?

Ohnooo @ThisHangryTiger think mine will be the same tbh… no progress on my lines 😭 don’t really know what advice to giving having had a chemical it’s just devastating 😔 sending hugs! ❤️❤️

@Ec2808 sending hugs too ♥️

@ThisHangryTiger @Ec2808
sending love.
remember you’re not out til AF x

Amazing, congratulations!

Sorry to hear @Ec2808and @ThisHangryTiger

Huge congrats to those of you getting your bfp, delighted for you 🥳 sending love to those that are still getting BFN's and those potentially going through chemicals 💔

Just wondering if anyone minds sharing their ages? I'm on the older side of trying to get pregnant with number 2 at nearly 38 xx

@ChaE05im 37

I'm not far behind at 35 TTC #2. My first is now 4. This was cycle #3 and I'm in my TWW!

I’m 32 trying for #2

@ThisHangryTiger @Ec2808 I'm so sorry, sending hugs ❤️

@Muddysocks1 will you test again tomorrow? Or just wait for AF?

@Disneybride there might still be time!

@ChaE05 I'm 37, I'll be 38 in November. I conceived my DD at 34 and gave birth at 35.

Is anyone symptom spotting or trying to not think about it?
Had some slightly pink/brown tinged cm earlier and now suddenly it's all I can do!

@Kayleaaa I'm pretending nothing is happening 😂 how many dpo are you? Could be implantation bleeding?

I really try not to now as it’s our 5th YEAR TTC and 6th month on Letrozole, but yep doing it again!

With ds, I was late - did a test BFN so went to a friends birthday party and drank my sorrows away - next day BFP and this was the first months of TTC! Was late, about 14DPO and I had cramps that I thought was my period.

So of course, I don’t rule out BFN or cramps
because of it so I have the same thing every month 🙈

I’m 10DPO but no symptoms at all! BFN again this evening, I know you can still get a positive after this but feel less hopeful now. GP is doing investigations and starting acupuncture so feel like I’m doing something about it but so worried it just won’t happen!

@surelook honestly that's fair 😂 I wish I had your strength! About 5/6dpo so trying not to get my hopes up but my bbt would agree with it!

@disneybride oh wow that'd make it even harder to not symptom spot because you know it could be real! You are one strong woman, your positivity through that journey tells me that!

@Muddysocks1 absolute fingers crossed for you!! I'm starting investigations next week and done all sorts the past 15 cycles, even had crystals and chants, yoga, massages, the healthiest planned out food and it just keeps seeming pointless. But this time of the month I suddenly forget all that and think anything can be possible!

@Kayleaaa I learned my lesson in March when I convinced myself I was pregnant. I was crushed then when AF came so I've tried to stop over analysing every little thing. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Disneybride I really hope you get your BFP really soon!

@Muddysocks1 you're doing all you can! I've heard very positive things about the acupuncture.

Thank you. We are very lucky so have a wonderful 6 year old, but I would really love another. If it doesn’t happen though, at least we have him!

Finally being referred to fertility (kept getting declined because of BMI), but GP put me on Letrozole anyway, which is about all fetility will do as we have a son. It’s just the tests I want like checking my tube, womb lining etc! I am ovulating so I can’t see what else it could be!

@Disneybride that's great that you're being referred. Hopefully you'll get some answers.

@ChaE05 34 TTC 1

9dpo today with a BFN this morning - just don’t think its my month unfortunately!

@ThisZippyViewer you're still very early!

@SureLook I know 🫣 think im just prepping myself to try and reduce the disappointment
AF should be around wed/thurs

AF arrived this morning 😢 how are you doing @Ec2808 ?
