TTC #2. Sick of fake symptoms ending in BFN & AF!!

[CJ15_5]

Hi all,

I didn't want to start a new thread but I wanted to start a new one for all the TTC #2 people who have forgotten their symptoms from # 1.

Amber is 16 months old tomorrow. I wanted to have another when she is two years old. So I have been trying since April. I should say we sorry. We have been trying since April. Every month I get the little things that make me think... Maybe it's a baby. Of course along comes a BFN at 7DPO and then a sad, painful AF.

My cycles have gone weird. 27 days. ovulation at 12-13 days. SOOOO confusing. Lucky I have very distinct ovulation pains.

So now I am about 5DPO or 3DPO. I think I will split the difference and say 4DPO. I am having cramps and need to pee A LOT. I can't really remember the symptoms I had last time, which is probably a good thing cause if I could I am sure I would have them right now!!!

I will do a test on Wednesday.

I would be glad to hear from anyone else going through this. And to find out I am not the only crazy person with fake symptoms EVERY month.

wow 7 dpo, in my opinion is way too early to test, I was searching on the net the other day, and the earliest I found anyone getting a bfp was 10 dpo, and that wasnt very many.

I do know what you mean about the symptoms though, unfortunatly pms symptoms though can be very similar to pg symptoms...

Hi,

I got a BFP 7 DPO with #1.

I also did once before #1 but it ended in M/C before AF was due.

I found a good brand that works wonderfully.

I am going nuts. Even before I was TTC #2 and wasn't on any birth control except the pull-put method ;) . I was getting these wonderful PG symptoms that were not even close to a BFP.

are you sure of your ovulation days?? I really cant imagine testing that early, what do you use?

[CJ15_5]

Hi Nuddle,

I am not sure this month so I am going on the latest possible day. I will be testing 6 days before AF. With Amber I was positive of the O day. I felt it and it was exactly cycle day 14. So I tested on cycle day 21. And got my faint BFP with FMU.

I am not sure I can post the test brand but I can send it to you personally if you like.

Which day are you up to???

Bec - there's no problem with posting the brand name here. I'd love to know too.

[nuddle]

yeah, you can post it here... I am only on cd8....

[CJ15_5]

Ok chicken,

If I get in trouble I'll blame peer pressure!!! :confused: .

Fortel Ultra. Make sure it is Ultra not Extra but. Extra is for 1st day of missing AF. You can get it at the supermarket too. Cheaper than other's from the chemist. Plus it is in a really cool container for keeping in the baby keepsake box.

Bec - is that the one in the pink box (5-7 days before AF) or the blue box (3-4 days before)?

[nuddle]

interesting, thanks for the information, though I am going to try my hardest not to test early...

[CJ15_5]

Hi,

It could be a pink box. They HAD to just change their packaging. It is 5 - 7 days before AF. I am sticking with it because it was reliable with #1. It think it is in a maroonish colour box now. I threw my empty box out.

I am so peeved this month. With myself I am absolutely CONVINCED I am preggers. I hope I am cause if I am not I think I will go crazy. But if I am not it will serve me right cause I am the only one to blame for being so convinced.

Hi Sonja,

I was just thinking. Don't you hate it when you wake up in the second week of the 2WW and you have that major urge to pee but you think. Gee maybe I should grab that test on the way to the toilet.....

Just a thought for tomorrow morning. I know it is WAYYY to early but that little voice is soooo convincing!!! Lucky I have no tests in the house... I am not letting myself near a supermarket before Tuesday afternoon. LOL

Trust me Bec - I feel your pain. When I first started TTC (almost a year ago now!), I convinced myself (and my poor DH) that I had pg symptoms. I'm normally such a rational, logical person. I felt like such an idiot when I got my BFNs each month. :banghead: Its funny because the month I actually did get my BFP, I told DH I was sure I wasn't because I didn't feel any different!!!!

[nuddle]

yeah, its a good idea to stay away from buying any before you want to test

[CJ15_5]

SEE,

When are we gunna learn!! If you give up on the idea you suddenly are preggers.

I was trying for 1.5 years before DD. A whole year of I am I am... um no I am not. then I gave up, I didn't even know when AF was due. It was a week late. But then a horrible M/C. Funny but. You try SO hard to stop yourself thinking you are but you just can't.

Well I am off to have a shower BY MYSELF :smiliedance: No luke-warm water whilst sitting on the drainhole so DD can play in the water.

Hi Again,

I have had such a weird day today!! I have felt like it was the first day of my period. The worst period pain ever!! But I am only 5 DPO????


I am not sure if it is just my endometriosis coming back or if it is something more serious but I am so worried!! If I am the same tomorrow I am going to the GP.

I can't remember if I had pains early pg with #1. I have had so much CM but. So strange.

Bec

[nuddle]

that could be implantation cramps, I was at the dr telling him something was majorly wrong with my son... but maybe better get it checked out.

[CJ15_5]

Hi again Sonja,

I was hoping it was just implantation but I don't know why it has lasted all day. I am so worried but our emergency room here is pretty hopeless. They won't do ultrasound so I am better waiting until tomorrow. It is so painful on my right side that my leg is even joining in and cramping as well. I just keep thinking maybe it is ectopic but I don't think it would be hurting yet if it was. I don't even know why I am assuming it is pregnancy related. I haven't tested and it is only 5 DPO. Crazy brain!!!

Bec

[nuddle]

if you are that worried, maybe you should go to the hospital...

[CJ15_5]

I have had a look around and decided that it is way to early to be feeling ectopic pg pains. Once site said pain would be 6-8 weeks after missed AF. It must just be my endometriosis coming back with a vengance!!

I wish I had written down all my symptoms last pg. I did on a different forum site but it has now closed :thumbsdown: . No help there. I only kept a journal of the good stuff not the TMI stuff.

I have a really stiff back today too. Is that a symptom? My brain thinks it is so that must be why I have it. :banghead: .
