Nadine maybe you implanted later than last time. you’re not out until AF comes so don’t loss hope yet!

Hopefully you're right Colie! I love this forum. It's so great to vent haha. No one else knows we're TTC and it's nice to go through it with all of you!

I’m in the same boat with you Nadine.. this is my place to be honest and vent. Some people know we are TTC, however I really just don’t feel comfortable talking about it with those people. It’s hard to talk about it with people who don’t understand the frustrations of TTC. The people who know we are TTC are the kind of people who got pregnant accidentally or like on the first cycle trying. I’m just not going down that road with them.
Anyway... 11 dpo today another bfn. I’m still not feeling much anymore, I have been extremely bloated, but that’s pretty normal for me before AF. I might be a little more bloated than usual, but that’s probably I’m my head. I feel a little lightheaded at points throughout the day, and just kind of Blah. But I’m usually blah during the 2nd half of 2ww with bfn’s. Temps still look good. I have the tiniest bit of hope, but not feeling that great about this. We shall see if AF shows up tomorrow or Friday.

My best friends know we are TTCing but none of them have kids or are pregnant themselves. They are a great support system but can only be so supportive as they can’t relate themselves.So I also love love love this site.

Jrosie I’m happy to hear your temps are still high. I’ve been thinking about you both lots and really hope you both get late BFPs.

Yes I’m exactly the same Jrosie.
I’m glad your temps are still high! I really hope this is your month. We’re all in this together :)

Thanks Colie, really appreciate it.

I’m trying not to get my hopes up but I’m still tasting metal in the morning. Also, I’ve had 2 tests today and yesterday (10dpo & 11dpo), where I’ve been able to see a second line. But when I mean it’s a squinter, I mean realllllyyy squint. I don’t want to get my hopes up as I’m pretty sure it should be a lot darker by now.. I can’t even capture the lines on camera. I just have to wait it out I guess (yay......)

Glad to have you guys to talk to! I’ll include a pic in the next post

Thanks Colie. Still hopeful. I’m not testing tonight. Just going to relax with the hubby and watch and a movie and chill. I’ve had the worst bloating ever today and yesterday. To the point where I’ve had the button on my pants undone all day. It’s just crazy and the cramps are back. Not intense, just there. I bought a dollar store cheapie test to use tomorrow morning. So if AF doesn’t come tomorrow morning I will test. And if AF is still not here Friday when AF is actually due then I’ll test with my last FRER. All I feel like is AF is coming. At this point I’m in denial about AF coming and also in denial that I could be pregnant haha
Well you guys have a good evening and I’ll tell you what happens in the morning.
Good luck Nadine, hopefully we get our bfp.

Thanks guys!! I really hope it does too x

Jrosie that's exactly me.. in denial about being pregnant, but also in denial about AF coming haha. It's so weird.
I'm always saying I might not ever get pregnant, but then every month I think I'm pregnant hahah.

I love that plan Luv2CU! If i'm not pregnant this month, I'm going to swear off forums, and testing and anything to do with TTC (except BD) and just try to take my mind off of it and see what happens.

I agree with that .. I think we all just need to relax and take our minds off TTC. It’s so frustrating. Well it’s 12 dpo for me and I got a bfn. I even ended up using my FRER. So AF should show her face by tomorrow. At this point I’m more than likely not pregnant. It’s disappointing, but I just got to keep on moving on as I do every cycle. Easier said than done :(
Nadine- I cant wait to see another test from you. I’m hoping at least someone has a bfp after this long awaited cycle. I wish you all the luck and keep us posted.

Luv- you are so encouraging and say the most positive and nicest things. You are absolutely right. Thank you for sticking me through this journey.

I’m in a good place right now and ready to keep taking better care of myself. I really thought this was it this last cycle. This was the closest to bd and O we have had yet. Just 3 days before O rather than like 5 days before O. Now that I finally know when I O now, we should be able to get closer to that date. It’s taken 3 cycles for me to figure out when I O, geez... I have figured out that I O 2 days after that first positive OPK and that I O 2-3 days later than I thought. At least I’m learning much more about my body after each cycle that goes by. Maybe this is why they say it can take so long for couples to get pregnant for the first time. Cuz it takes that long to figure all this stuff out haha
Time to go shopping and indulge for my cd 1 day. Yay

Oh you poor thing. I’m so sorry you sick. I know what it’s like to feel icky and it’s time to BD. That’s what happened to me this past cycle on the day before O. I sure hope you start feeling better soon.
And The exciting life of searching for a new home, and the stressing life of searching for a new home lol good luck with that.

I’m doing pretty good, also focused on healthy eating and getting strong. It feels like a life time away before I O. I’m CD 4 and AF is pretty much gone, yay. Only 16 more days before I O lol
