Morning girls...
11dpo, period due Wednesday. Wasn't going to test until tomorrow but I just wanted to get it out the way. BFN. I already knew i was out but seeing that stark white negative test hurts so much. Just broke down with DP. Going into month 8 now. Sorry to anyone else in the same boat this month xx

Good luck to all testing in the next coming days. Anybody testing today? I’m not testing anymore now. I’m waiting for AF as got bad cramps and feel it coming! 😞

Morning all, how are we all today?

I’ve got a definite stark white test so 100% sure of the chemical this cycle. Feel gutted - 14 months of TTC and two chemicals now. Seems some progress as didn’t even get a Bfp for 12 months, so we’re getting closer in a sense. But something still obviously not right. I know chemicals are really common and often chromosomal, but I just feel with our difficulty getting pregnant in the first place there’s probably more to it. Starting to take a strain on me and partner as he hates to see me upset.

Feel a bit down and expect I’ll mope through today at work. work don’t know I’m TTC or about the previous chemical and I don’t really want to say.
Not sure whether to stop the progesterone now as seems pointless to keep taking!

Fingers crossed for others BFPs 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sorry everyone is feeling so down today. Sending hugs! 6 dpo here today (possibly!??) and so not a lot going on. Going to try to wait until next Sunday to test - I’ll be 12 dpo which is when I got my first and only positive with my son!
Would be poetic to get a BFP on Father’s Day (so I’m probs tempting fate and it 100% won’t happen)

i’m also 6dpo today! boobs have gone a bit tender here but no other symptoms xx

Morning all,
I feel quite down tbh, so I hear you @Muddysocks1@ChaE05 this is by far one of the hardest journeys I’ve been on! I’m trying really hard now to just say it’s ok it will happen. Just give it time but as the months go on that’s seriously hard.
I’ve started my normal pre AF spotting and my temp has dropped today, whilst still above cover line it’s dropped from yesterday so I am 1000% out sadly.
thinking of you all that know AF is coming or that have a chemical. X

@megan345yay cycle twins! When are you going to test?

@megan345yay cycle twins! When are you going to test?

@FlyHighSky72going to try hold off as long as possible, which probably means thursday🤣xx

Haha let us know how you get on @megan345

@Thisisouryear2025same, feeling so so low. The most emotionally draining journey. Like you said the other day, each cycle. The testing, the waiting, the planning sex. Also i just want to go fuck it I'm going to drink wine every night and eat all my favourite things. But also I can't do that because I'm trying so good with my diet to make these eggs the best they can be. Emailed doctor to find out about getting other half's semen analysis. Hope they reply today because if it's not something they offer I'll be booking in a private one! Just want everything in place so I know I'm doing the most I can. Hope you're okay 🤍

Really sorry to read about the BFN this morning @ChaE05 & your stark white @Muddysocks1 its so hard. Commiserations, too, to those who just know AF is on the way. If I've learned anything since we TTC, it's how bloody difficult it is to get pregnant and then stay pregnant. I feel it's romanticised in popular culture as wham bam pregnant.

I'm 9dpo today and trying to keep positive but I honestly don't feel any different today. Tried tracking my cervix this month, still high and soft, but I am probably rooting about up there for the wrong thing 😂 will test Wednesday (11dpo) but take some tests with me on my trip. I didn't get a BFP in February until few days after the ttw.

@Muddysocks1im so sorry. And sorry ttc has been such a tough one for you

I'm 7DPO (I think I'm rubbish at accurate tracking) and I've had some mild pelvic pain but that's it. I try not to overthink symptoms as all of my friends who have got pregnant (rather easily I may add..) said they didn't feel any different the month they got a BFP until they started with proper pregnancy symptoms. But when you've never had a BFP it's so tempting to convince yourself this is "it".

Going to try and hold out until Saturday to test, that should be 12DPO and we're out for lunch and if it's completely white which I'm expecting it to be then I can have a wine and get on with my weekend (I won't be that rational when this happens).

i didn’t even get symptoms in pregnancy really either! its strange how it differs from person to person!xx

@Muddysocks1I'm so sorry and sad for you. It might be worth telling work as there could offer some support? I've not been in work since my 2 miscarriages, they have been really supportive.
I'm so glad we have this group. Even though we are all going through our own heartbreak, it seems less lonely? X

My sister has had two pregnancies, both successful. No symptoms for either and both 'accidents'. AF never turned up and so she decided to test. Lucky her! I do wonder if the implantation I felt with the mc in Feb was so noticeable because it was doomed to fail. That perhaps it hadn't implanted properly and that's why I had the noticeable sharp pain that I did (around 11/12dpo). When they eventually did the internal scan on me (about 5w+ few days), they told me it was in the wrong position and that they weren't sure if it had implanted in the wrong place to start with or if it was starting to travel out.

So have had a response from my GP today. They said only once I've had my blood tests, pelvic ultrasound, chlamydia test. And partner had his semen analysis. Plus all the results back...will they refer me to fertility clinic. They have also only just said about booking me in for the 21 day progesterone test, which they could have just done this cycle! (Now I've already paid for it myself) so frustrating as got to wait another 4 weeks for that!
Does this sound standard? I'd rather them refer me now, just seems to be delaying things!

I don't know @ChaE05 sorry, am starting the conversation with my GP tomorrow but will keep in mind that they may say similar. It does sound silly to wait, I thought the waiting lists were long, so surely they could just take you off it again in the happy scenario of them finding and solving an issue and you getting a sticky bean.

I agree it feels less lonely reading everyone's experiences and being able to say how we feel and you people get it. And being able to ask really niche questions. And encourage each other to get GP support etc.

@ForGiddyDreamer inspired by you I'm going to try to hold out until Wednesday too, we can be testing twins. Four lines between us please 🙏🏼

@hollyhocks2 Wednesday morning 🙏

DP and I had a long discussion over the weekend. I try not to get too upset because I know he will say we should take a break. Agreed if nothing happens we will go see the Dr in August. Hearing how others approach the doctor and what they advocate for is so helpful.

Can I join you ladies.
currently 2dpo cycle 4. I’m 36 so feel like time isn’t on my side although I have 2 teenage daughters from my previous relationship. This would be DPs first. Starting all over again is a bit daunting!

I’m so sorry @Muddysocks1 - I’ve been hoping for you!

I’m sorry for @Iris2024 @Thisisouryear2025 @ChaE05 and anyone else feeling down in the dumps, too. I know there are a few of us!

11 DPO here and would have tested if I was at home. I’m away from civilisation - so no shops. Travelling tomorrow and trying to decide how unhinged it would be to buy a test at the airport 🫣😂 to be fair, I can just feel that AF will arrive before then anyway (short luteal). Ah well, saves me a tenner, I guess 😭

Could anyone describe their implantation symptoms for me? Was brown this morning but now every time I wipe it's a little more red ISH. It's not AF red and not as heavy but redder than I would have expected (sorry for TMI). Was due AF 2 days ago. Did a test this morning and it may have been a vvvvfl. Not sure what to think 😢

Hi all. 2DPO and determined I'm not going to test during the TWW this cycle, instead just wait for AF in the hope that she just doesn't arrive!! (We'll see how long that lasts though 🙈)

For early pregnancy symptoms, there were no giveaway signs with my first. I felt quite bloated but put that down to eating too much on holiday. Only in hindsight did I think it might be related.

@ThisHangryTigerwith prev positives ive always felt like a zinging/pulsating pain on one side sort of like ovulation, and lots of cramping/stretching pains. DS that was the only successful pregnancy i had the same but at the time thought i was ovulating as he was conceived 1st cycle post early mc, dont know if it helps but i had implantation bleed with him and another pregnancy, thought it was very light af (like the beginning and was always light pink not red)
