**October 2018 testing thread**

[thencomesbebe]

Thanks gals, I'm so fed up at this point. Really hoping that we get some answers next month when we see the specialist. Every month its like banging my head against a wall and expecting it not to hurt. I think that is the definition of insanity. I just don't understand why it's not happening for us.

 

[Bevziibubble]

I really hope you get some answers soon

Hope you get some answers soon Bebe!

Glad you’re having a better weekend LadyV. Definitely sounds like DH is a good one!

Nix - I could have written your post! It’s our first month TTC #2 and I’m going crazy. It sucks because I wanted to be so calm. Nope not happening.

I caved this morning at 8dpo and tested. Of course it’s a BFN. Not getting down yet - just impatient.

 

[LadyVictoria]

Sorry for the BFNs, Nix and Bebe It totally sucks. I'm at work now hoping my period doesn't show up at an inconvenient time.

To answer your question Nix, yes, this month was the worst in terms of my impatience during the TWW. I really thought it was going to be our month. It's so deflating when you get your hopes up so high, only to have them shot down.

Bebe - I totally understand your frustration. I know we haven't been trying as long as others, but I hate feeling like I'm doing everything "right" and it's just not happening for us. It's so heartbreaking. I read all the books, take all the vitamins and supplements, I've improved my diet... I'm wrecking my brain trying to figure out what else I can do but I really don't think that there is anything else. I may set up an appointment with my gynecologist but I'm afraid that I'll call and they'll tell me it hasn't been long enough

Sorry AF got you dream. Big hugs

Lady&bebe I know how you both feel. I wish I could be a “if it happens, it happens” kinda person, but I’m not. I really want this. We all do. We do everything right as you say, it’s so frustrating.

EMSwife ha ha good luck on your journey. I used to test from 8dpo as well. I can’t anymore. I’m surprised I caved today.

I haven't popped in for a bit, so need to catch up. I'll have to go back and see if I missed any BFPs.

As for me, ugh, definitely pity party here. Period came, so BFN obviously. Period is now over, so time to get back on the horse I guess. I just, I don't know why I keep doing this to myself, but the past couple months I get so psyched up like it's definitely my month. I am feeling really emotional today and tearful over how big my kid is getting.. this morning he asked me for "chee ohs and app-puhs" (cheerios and apples) out of the blue, and I'm like, how are you saying these words and being such a big kid. Where did my tiny baby go? I watched endless videos this morning of many of our late night breastfeeding sessions when he was small and pretty much lived on my chest, and cried wondering if I'll ever experience that again. Such an emotional roller coaster, this TTC is. I thought I was going to do soooo much better for #2. Clearly that's not working out for me. Lol.

Awww missdoc you’ll do it again. I never realised it could be so hard. But I guess the things we really want in life are worth waiting for. Seems to be a rubbish week for a few of us.

Sorry ladies for not being on..

I have updated the front page but let me know if I have missed anyone...

I'm 8 dpo today going on a family vac for a couple of days so glad I won't be tempted to test till af is due

Sorry to who the witch got hope you get your bfps soon xx

Congrats on who got bfps happy and healthy 9 months xx

There is a November thread started also if anyone wants to move over xx

 

[LadyVictoria]

Hugs to everyone who's frustrated right now!

I was able to schedule a fertility appointment for the end of November so I'm happy about that.

 

[Bevziibubble]

I'm glad you managed to get an appointment

 

[Smummy]

I'm trying not to be insane and test a million times but I don't know if I'm out or not I'm in the first cycle after a miscarriage so I don't know if it's going to be later? My boobs and back have been killing me for almost a week, I had a Bfn yesterday morning so I'm assuming it's not assumption related but I'm trying to be a little hopeful. At least if my period shows I will be able to chart easier

 

[Nixnax]

Tested again today at CD28 (cycles are normally 26 days) with FMU and it’s another BFN. Blah. Had a big glob of brown Cm early yesterday evening but nothing since. If no AF by Thursday I’ll test again. I have no more tests to use at home. Attached today’s test

 

[Dream143r]

Argh! Sorry for the BFN Nix

 

[Bevziibubble]

 

[EMSwife1124]

Sorry Nix!

Another BFN for me at 9dpo.. still not giving up as I know it's early.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Still time yet, good luck!

 

[LadyVictoria]

Sorry about all the BFNs, ladies. Today makes 14DPO for me, which is unheard of. BFN on a cheapie this morning and I just knew my period was coming, but nothing yet. It's clear that the cleanse I did caused me to ovulate early and extended my luteal phase, but that didn't seem to help me get pregnant. Oh well. Just wish CD1 would hurry up and get here. I'm not excited that it will likely come tomorrow on Halloween. Ugh.
