Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

Apple1985

Took a pregnancy test Saturday as I couldn't wait and had a BFN.. But I know I was testing far too early. This is the first month I've realised how horrible this TWW period is. I'm looking at my period tracker and I have about 5 days to go before AF is due. I'm scared to test to disappoint myself, and similar praying AF doesn't arrive. Analysing every single body symptoms, are my breasts sore? Is this because AF is coming or pregnancy? Hugs goes out to everyone I never realised before I started trying what would feel like! X

Morning all,

Sorry for AF mouse, sending hugs.

Petal that must have been hard to take - I would've felt exactly the same. I am astonished that anyone gets preg by accident these days. What are the odds of catching the exact right time!? We know the right time and still can't do that, its just weird...

I went to a 1st birthday party yesterday, it was ok, I didn't make a scene but it was a close friend so a few people there knew about the mmc and I felt like all eyes were on me when I was having a hold of the baby... could feel my face burning up and same now just thinking about it.

CD21 8DPO today and the madness has begun already... tested this morning (BFN obviously), creamy cm, cervix med and soft, sore bbs - not sure if real or phantom! I find myself scrolling back on Glow to see what my symptoms were when I got the BFP... is hard not to get excited when some do match. No idea though really!

Have a great week all x

Hugs MancMama - your loss is still recent, so I think you were very brave in going to the party and holding the baby. Well done for coping so well, especially when everyone was watching how you'd react. xx

Will update the list in a minute.

Sorry to hear AF has arrived Sexymouse but just think that you've saved yourself a possible admission on Christmas Day, missing out on your Turkey dinner and pressie opening!!

Mancmama - it's awful being treated in such a way that people are treating you odd when you're near a baby. So unfair and embarrassing. I hope that you get the support you need when you need it. This is the type of thing that wishes I'd kept my mouth shut about trying and thinking I may keep any news to myself until after the safe period because I don't want to be treated differently by anyone if the worst happened and I know it does.

AFM, CD20 and possibly 7/8DPO. I had a big drop in BBT today. I purposely didn't do it at the weekend due to waking later. The drop has taken my temps to below the coverline. My head is a mess with this as it's making me think I didn't ov (for info temp drop was 36.15 C/97.12 F and is usually around 36.45 C /97.61 F)

Sorry to hear AF has arrived Mouse and Keekee. Hugs all round!

Mancmama, that is really unfair. This is the reason why we haven't told anyone we're trying, not even close friends and family. I just know all eyes would be on us at things like parties/when announcements are made.

I think we both did a good job of being happy for our friends...because we are actually happy for them. It's not their fault it's not happening for us and I will spoil that wee baba rotten when it's born! As you say MancMama, it's just ridiculous that some people can catch when not even trying!

Still no symptoms or anything for me. I guess it's too early as implantation may not even have happened. This 2ww malarkey is awful!

7/8 DPO could be implantation time and I read that one symptom may be a drop in temp but then it rises again so you never know!

Thanks ladies - I know people don't mean to upset me and that it actually comes from a good place as in they are only concerned - there is probably an element of me overthinking it in my head as well - but I wanted to scream "I don't actually want your baby, I just want my own!!".... I think I handled it as well as I could do though. I'm definitely getting stronger every day Xx

Hi all,

I feel awful writing this post especially after the last few on the thread and the fact that I have not been an active poster (but I do read daily and you are all my thoughts) so please don't hate me.

So after spending the last few mornings wrenching then feeling OK the rest of the day I did a test yesterday morning and I got a BFP. I think I am about 6-7 weeks so still very early days.
