Vent Session

A little bit about me. DH and I on our 5th cycle TTC. We are both 25. About a year and a half ago I had a miscarriage which obviously left us devastated. Lately my MIL and her sister have been pestering us about having "big news" which we don't have. Even today at family dinner we walk in and first thing DH's aunt says is "so have any big news to share with us?" It really got me down.

Currently I have been spotting for about 2 days and a half days. I normally spot for one and then begin AF. I don't have any normal preAF symptoms that I normally have. I tested on a whim tonight and DH and I both see a faint line but of course I feel like we both have line eye because we want it so badly. I just feel as though AF will show up at any time.

So with this going on and the relatives asking about kids, it has really gotten me out of the Christmas spirit.

Any one have any experience in spotting then getting a BFP?

Thank you ladies!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss You would think people would be more sensitive, but obviously not. I just went to a family thing and got asked TWICE! So I made sure to go and grab a HUGE glass of cider and then no one asked me after that. One benefit of having my period at Christmas I guess. I am feeling pretty bah humbug today.

I really hope you don't have line eye! Hopefully when you test tomorrow or in a few days you'll have a nice strong positive and I hope the spotting goes away! I am sending you the best wishes for a BFP and a smooth pregnancy!

Unfortunately I don't have any tips on dealing with the family except to be a little rude and say "No we don't, thanks for reminding me that I'm not pregnant, because I totally want that at Christmas".

Haha! I got to the point tonight where I told someone to remind my reproductive system that we need grandkids soon. I feel like it was harsh, but I believe it go the point across!

Hello! I have never had a BFP but I just wanted to chime in with my two cents. You may want to ask your husband should talk to his mother and aunt about being a little more sensitive. I am sure that your MIL and her sister are not trying intentionally to make you feel bad but you don't need that kind of pressure. So sorry for your loss last year and fingers crossed for a Christmas BFP.

Sorry, Chloe my family has been bothering me lately too. We are on our 8th cycle TTC but family isn't aware that we have had 3 miscarriages and a chemical in the last 4 years. Makes it tough. A few months ago my SIL announced her second pregnancy and I was holding her toddler. They asked my niece where the baby was and she patted my belly. Everyone made the biggest deal about it and had to show everyone that wasn't in the room... I know they dont mean to be insensitive but it still hurts. :/ especially since his sisters have PCOS and have gone through miscarriages and many fertility treatments and years of trying themselves.
