TTC #3

[instagramloverinlondon]

Very disappointed as I got AF today was hoping after my MC I would fall straight away. Back to more planned sex...my fav not feeling sorry for myself but did a good spin session at the gym and trying to be positive about next month

AF is one day late but test was BFN. No AF symptoms but that also means no early pregnancy symptoms either. Kinda feel I’m stuck in limbo atm. Gonna wait a few days and test again. I hate the wait game

Aw this was me last month. I feel for you! Hopefully you’ve just tested too early

apparently ovulated last week according to Flo but I’ve had watery CM today so not sure. Will aim to DTD tonight and hope it’s actually the start of my fertile week!

sorry to hear you got your AF be kind to yourself and enjoy a glass of wine. Isn’t planned sex the worst?!

Thank god it’s not just me who feels this way! I just haven’t the energy for it this month

9dpo and just feel like I have just accepted I am out this cycle, I know it’s still early but I have some weird cramps like I’m gearing up for af and just feel moody like I would in the week before af came along.

Have made a list of things I can do once AF arrives so I don’t feel too down about it - drink a cocktail, dye my roots. All the things that during the last week I’ve been wishing I had remembered to do before i ovulated. Plus next cycle I’m hoping I will have regulated a bit so won’t be doing OPKs for 25 days before I get a peak again silver linings and all that.

Hi, just checking in to see how everyone is doing? Huge congratulations to everyone who has got their BFP this month!... I’m feeling so deflated today- I think I’m around 9dpo which I know is far to early to test... but of course I have tested and it’s a stinking BFN!! I don’t know why I do it to myself. Just feeling pretty tit. Cycle 3 after miscarriage. I think if I don’t get a BFP this month I’m going to use to clear blue OPK as my cycles since my miscarriage have been 30,32,39 so haven’t got a clue what’s going on or when I even ovulate xxx

I feel like this!I think I’m 9dpo too! Which is very early days! I’m sure it takes Atleast 6-11 days for baby to actually implant so this may not have even happened yet. 2WW is awful xx

It really is, this is my first one so I’m dreading having to do this multiple times. It’s so hard not to think about it all the time

everyone on this thread who has done multiple 2wws, you are super strong ladies, it’s so much tougher than I imagined

 

[grumpycat]

Cramps can be a good sign too! I had cramps after O - I’ve got my fingers crossed tightly for both of you @Mel17 @JLXRD
As you said implantation can take like 10-14 days after conception so you’re still in with a huge chance as it’s early days

Stay positive! Cramps can be a good sign rather than AF signs.

Do the things you wanna do, have cocktails, have fun and relax as best you can a friend of mine was on cycle 9 and was worried bcus she was in her 40s. She cut out alcohol and caffeine during that time, didn't have takeouts, ate 'clean' and was so disheartened it hadn't happened. So she has an absolute blow out for a couple of weeks. Stopped tracking, drank some alcohol, bit of caffeine, ate crap and the next cycle she was pregnant.

It obviously might not be bcus she had a blow out, but maybe she was able to just relax

So after my period came Friday night I had a day or so for myself, had a good cry.
Felt fine after that.
Positive thing out of it is that the vaccine didn't affect my period, it came on time and even about the same amount, I'd been worried about that so that's good.
Generally feel all good and fine but the last couple of days my heart hurts a bit. The positivity is so hard to have after 18 cycles.
My Facebook is full of scans and pregnancies, my friend is pregnant after a few weeks by accident. I'm happy for her but my god, it is killing me inside. It all feels kind of pointless at times now.
Other half's sperm test has to be re done. It was booked and I realised it was right at the end of my fertile week so ovulation day or around it. He changed it so its another 2 weeks after that. I mean, it's good not to miss the fertile period, but then at the same time it's delaying my referral again. It won't happen so maybe it should have been left when it was, he didn't want to though. And it's his journey too. I sometimes wish he felt the heartache of it though! God I feel so alone at this stage of TTC.

Sorry I'm not really a moany cow like I seem on here. Just writing out my thoughts to those who get it.

Hope you all have a lovely day x

I want to but I just know if I were lucky enough to conceive and I’d had alcohol in the 2WW, my anxiety wouldn’t be worth it. I’d probably worry about it until the baby came out tbh

Luckily I’m not a big drinker and only drink maybe 3 times a year anyway, but I think the forbidden nature of it makes it more appealing haha!

I have relaxed a bit , or tried to - I was going to give up caffeine but after 2 days that swiftly went out the window.

I’m sure if I end up TTC for several cycles I’ll have to just try and not let it effect my life in other ways, especially because I really don’t want anyone IRL to know ( have a very smug SIL who always goes on about how both their pregnancies were conceived her first cycle off the pill. Could not cope with the smugness from her.)

So I haven't even joined this thread yet but was planning to when I saw it a few days ago during my first 2WW. We just started trying this month.. and.. I can't quite believe it still, but yesterday we got this (estimated 10DPO)

Sending good luck vibes to you all!!

I’ve got got my first peak on my OPK in 6 months!

Feel like my body is gearing up for AF already due next weds. Not confident about this cycle.

I think I will start tracking ov soon, I just would love some confirmation that I’m actually ovulating, especially with my partner working away it feels impossible to catch the correct time

11 dpo and have had AF cramps since 9dpo but no AF they were worse last night tbh and have calmed down this morning. I did have one tiny speck of blood in my cm yesterday, but I wouldn’t have noticed it were I not checking and nothing since so who knows what is going on. My temp is still up currently.

Just feels like af is trying to happen and taking her sweet time (which seems to be the whole theme of this cycle for me).

This is all positive signs! You’re not out until AF shows up! Fingers crossed for you when do you think you’ll test? Xx

Really? I hope so I really have nothing to compare it to so no idea if this is just what a cycle off the pill is for me and this would happen every month.

I am not sure when to test as I don’t know when my period is due so I’m thinking maybe 14 dpo on Saturday if AF isn’t here by then.

 

[grumpycat]

@JLXRD it sounds positive to me too, but everyone is different! A speck of blood can be a lil bit of implantation blood (Never had it myself but it can be common)
