That is true, and I know an under active thyroid doesn’t help with fertility
try to get a test via your GP but you can buy a home test online to check your thyroid if you want it done quick x
I decided not to use OPK this month or do any tracking - almost have a clean month - but I still had similar symptoms around ovulation. 9/10DPO I had light pink spotting, next day I had some brown spotting, and now today it’s been close to normal (just a slightly darker than any other time in my cycle, as if I’m dehydrated) when I wipe after having a wee. I feel so bloody tired lol but my sides were hurting 9/10DPO and I feel a little nauseous today too. Am I making it up or should I be hopeful??? I don’t want to test yet but I also don’t want to say ‘oh it could be’ when it doesn’t sound like it 
sorry I don’t mean to bother anyoneI think clarity is missing from any of this TTC business because aside from the basics (which even then are disputed) everyone is different. Looking up symptoms doesn’t help much because they’re quite vague and a lot of symptoms can also be the same as if your period is coming on.Hi everyone, sorry I’ve tried to Google and I’m not getting much in the way of clarity
I would say this is unusual for me but sod’s law AF will drop on me and it’ll feel like I was just on hyper alert
I’m 12DPO now, AF is due on the weekend- I kinda want to test because at least then it’s not just me ‘feeling’ but not sure if it’s too early to get a clear indication if that makes sense?
. Caved and done a test.. bfn. I am a glutton for punishment Thanks, I rang my gp and they didn’t have any appointments so said to ring back next week!! My temp has gone up to 36.46 now I’m 5dpo. I use a OvuSense first so always record the data at 7am xThat is true, and I know an under active thyroid doesn’t help with fertility
*sorry just to add as bit of advice if you wasn’t doing it already, always take your temp in the morning when you wake up with your body at rest.
I don’t know about you but when it feels like a special or significant time to conceive or find out your pregnant, one for me was on my honeymoon or like just now getting a ‘Christmas wish’ it feels even more disappointing. I’m due on tomorrow but I already think I’m out, I don’t feel anything different just the usual AF symptoms.I was SO sure I was pregnant this month. We’d had lots of sex at the right times and I’d started feeling sick in the morning, tender boobs etc.
I’ve been really ill the last few days with what I thought was cystitis but is actually a kidney infection, and when he did the test he also said I wasn’t pregnant and prescribed antibiotics not to be used in pregnancy
I’m only CD24 of what is normally a 29 day cycle, but now I just want my period to arrive if it’s not meant to be.
It really does! It's our wedding anniversary this week, same day AF is due, I just keep thinking how amazing would it be to get a positive this week
Thats a bit early for the doc to say you're definitely not pregnant though surely? I had cystitis when trying for my little boy and the doc gave me the antibiotics you can take in pregnancy...luckily as I was.I was SO sure I was pregnant this month.

I did this too
You won’t be the only one who has felt that way. Those feelings are all normal - you can be happy for them and sad for yourself. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to feel sad about it. It’s hard to see people close to you going on the journey that you so desperately want to be on.So…I just found out my brother in law and his fiancée are expecting their first child. It was written in a Christmas card to me and my husband and I instantly broke down in tears when I read it (my B-I-L and his partner weren’t present, my husband brought the card home with him from visiting his brother), so it was just my husband present. My emotions were uncontrollable, I’ve never burst into tears so quickly.
I felt so guilty and selfish afterwards for my first emotions not being happiness and excitement for them but sadness for me because that’s what I want more than anything. They weren’t actively trying which knowing that made it harder for me. Of course I am so happy for them and it will be lovely to have a baby in the family but equally it’s a tough one to swallow. I know I’ll be fine and I’ll get over the initial shock. It was an unexpected surprise to the whole family so I can be forgiven for being shocked but I can’t/ don’t want be feeling upset or that constant feeling inside of “I wish it was me” when there’s talk of the pregnancy or the baby with the in-laws or feeling almost jealous of them being in the situation that I would love more than anything to be in.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who has felt similar?
Sending you a big hug. I spent many a Christmas wanting nothing more than a baby. Hated hearing other people announce their good news even close friends and family. It’s so difficult when you’re both happy for them but it’s also reminded of your own situation.So…I just found out my brother in law and his fiancée are expecting their first child.

I’m proof that miracles do happen xxxDon’t feel bad I’ve definitely felt that way before. Especially when it’s so close within the family like yourself but if they know what you and your husband are going through then hopefully they will be sensitive about your feelings when talking about the pregnancy around you xSo…I just found out my brother in law and his fiancée are expecting their first child.

so I say I don’t want children. I understand why they ask though as babies are so lovely. 
not putting pressure on me at all, but says things like like “do you think we’ll ever have chance to do this with a child or that with a child”. I’ve stopped bbt and opks and just going with the flow. Feel much better for getting that out 
My brother video called me out of the blue last year to announce he and his wife were expecting. I plastered a grin on while tears welled in my eyes. I sobbed after the call. My mum is not sympathetic at all as she conceived 3 times easily. She tells me to relax. I literally don't ovulate and am beginning treatment when I'm well enough. I'm lucky my husband is a support.So…I just found out my brother in law and his fiancée are expecting their first child.

I’m so sorry to hear this, sending you lots of loveHi ladies, had an absolute whirlwind of a week and my whole life has done a complete 360. My relationship with my fiancé ended last week after he told me that he had cheated. I’ve been absolutely distraught, mainly through losing him but as you’re all aware we were many months into our TTC journey together. I absolutely do not know where to go from here, just wanted to say that I wish you all the best luck with your TTC journey - hopefully I’ll be back here some day.
