TTC and TWW, AF due 5th March - can you help me keep my sanity?

[Cozie]

Hi

Im now 9 days past ovulation with a BFN using first response this morning yet my breast are unusually large. They are quite painful from right after ovulation until AF.

My husband and I have been TTC since Dec 08 and MC at 14 weeks in June, now almost 9 months ago, i am of course dissapointed when AF arrives each month but what kills me more is this dreaded TWW

Would be keen to vent my 'phantom' symptoms with aynone else

Welcome wholelottalove

bf? Dd? I'm not so good with all this!

But at least we can be mad together!

Did you conceive au natural with your first babe?

X

Thanks cozie. Ha ha, I've been struggling to work out the acronyms and then I scatter a load more in to confue everyone.

BF = breastfeeding
DD = dear daughter

I do feel a bit nutty actually... although I guess the desperate hoping for positive test resolves the questions over are we really ready for another one!

Yes, conceived au natural - it took 6 months with No 1 although I don't think I was ovulating for the first couple as I'd been on the depo-provera contraceptive injection which messes with your fertility for a bit after you come off it. Same with the Mirena coil - have had some horrible withdrawel symptoms from that.

I too was on the dep for 5 yes, finished in sept caught April 09, mc at 14 weeks, ttc since, please don't feel the need to apoloipgise, we need positivity!

Thanks for the explanations, learning everyday x

Sorry to hear of your loss Cozie. Sending you lots of positive good luck vibes x

Thanks WLL xxx keep us updated x

HI cOZIE
I'm so sorry for your loss, its something I've never experienced so I can't imagine what you went through.

My AF was due on the 5th March also, I have had stomach cramps thurs/fri but no AF! I have a regular 28 day cycle to the day every month, is it possible to have your period with cramps and no blood loss? sorry if I sound really stupid. I'm not sure whether got any symptoms or not................boobs are normal, have felt tired but thought that was my AF coming, the only thing strange is that my sense of smell has increased and I feel really nauseus when I smell something really overpowering.

How is everyone getting on??

Ladies

last night and today, I got it......... Three times BFP !!!!! Xx

God congratulations how weird is that, I never read this thread before and when someone said something like "you never hear the result" I thought "no you so rarely do" and then just like that BFP! Fantastic! It's made my day has that!

Awww Amanda thats nice to hear.

Your right i read and read these and think - wonder how she got on

So was keen to share the news!

TTC for 2 years, 1 MC and now some good news !

How come you find yoruself on here?

x

I have very naughtily strayed out of the "Waiting to TTC" thread - I normally try not to read the other threads in the Conception Forum, as they tend to send me into a blind panic - but I'm so glad I read yours!

How are you feeling? How did your DH take the news? You must be over the moon!

The whole TTC game is an absolute panic, i spend weeks on these sites comparing phantom syptoms, the am i arent i game is soooo hard. The last two weeks are not amusing!

My husband ''wants a clearer line''

As if 3 isnt enough! I have tried explaining they can only detect something if its there and its not the depth of the line that matters.

i will be sitting down with him and the instructions later to go through the levels of HCG and how they increase... !!!

I have used the dip test i had in the drawer and by all means they dont look the most scientific, i think men need it in laymans terms and he has gone hunting for BOGOF ''pregnant'' ''not pregnant'' tests!!

I am feeling good, the last pregnancy before was easy up to the 14 week MC, no sickness etc just the breasts.

To be honest im happy with whatever this one wants to throw at me!!!!!

Can i ask what your position is?

xx

Lol @ a clearer line! I'd probably be the same! It must take a while to sink in.

I'm waiting to TTC DC1 in December, by which time I should have saved up enough money to cover my loan repayments while I'm off work for six months on statutory maternity leave. Your LO will be here by then!

There's something quite special about reading an old thread right through from the start for the first time, and anticipating that at least one or two of the protagonists will be pregnant before the end. Anyone dipping into our "waiting to TTC" thread would be bored senseless!

Cozie - so sorry, I kind of abandonned this thread and then saw your BFP on the Dec bus - congratulations!!

In terms of never knowing the outcome, I'll update you on me- it was neg for me last cycle, but now at the beginning of another 2WW and AF due around 9th April so you never know!

Congrats again
