2ww symptom spotters guilty pleasure thread

[cosmicgirl]

I'm ok, just a bit bored of it all now. It's been over 12 months of ttc for me now and I know I'm out again. I'm not upset about it, just bored.
I do enjoy a bit of symptom spotting and I enjoy reading about other ladies symptoms and hunting for lines on their behalf, you can feel their excitement which is fab, but I don't have that excitement for myself anymore iykwim.
Suppose I should be in LTTC now, but I don't feel like I'd fit in there
Moan over x

Not gone well here either. Frer bfn although if I squinted really hard and tilt it in such a way there might be something very faint! But its def a neg today! Going to try and hold out til thurs to test now as starting to get fed up of bfn even though its my own fault for testing early!

 

[cosmicgirl]

For me, testing early gives in to my impatience as I could never hold out, but it does mean that when it's a bfn, you never know if you believe it! x

This is cycle 14 for me it does loose it's magic when your trying so long. I'm in lttc but I kind of feel a fake because I have kids. I will just keep plodding along and hope it happens again someday. X

Same here, I'm cycle 13. I also think because I'm not going to get any investigations or treatment, I don't fit in there xxx

I'm really sad to hear you ladies feeling down, it's completely understandable but I think the ladies in LTTC would welcome you there. Can I ask why neither of you want to go for testing? xx

 

[cosmicgirl]

For me I think it's because even if something was found, I wouldn't be eligible for treatment. It's also like AR, because I've already got children xx

I try to approach each cycle like its the first but now im in my 17th cycle, I feel like i'm setting myself up for a fall eachtime! I want to go to LTTC but im nervous too, I think it's because i'm new to the forum, if that makes sense.

 

[cosmicgirl]

I don't feel like I'd be able to symptom spot and post my hpt pics in there like I do in here, don't know why xxx

 

[fairycake]

I understand that. I think symptom spotting and addictions to poas is part of what gives me hope and keeps me going! You are eligible for certain treatments, my sister has a 10 year old and her doctor is helping her TTC. My doctor won't help me till the 2 year mark because of already diagnosed PCOD and endometriosis. think I need a new doctor!

 

[Helven]

Hey ladies, I have 2 children already, been ttc for nearly 4 years now and I have been given help on the NHS I have pcos and I am on metformin and clomid. But it took me a long time to want to go down the route of dr's etc cause it did not want it to become clinical so to speak. So I can totally understand why you would not want to go down that road xxx

 

[Amyrose]

I am in lttc and the ladies are sooo lovely. My doctors attitude is I should be happy with my lot. I have kids from a previous relationship so I don't qualify for any help is something is wrong. I have enquired but been fibbed off and told I need to miscarry again to have them look. X

 

[cosmicgirl]

Hi Helven glad yore getting help.
I wouldn't want to take clomid or anything like that. If it doesn't happen naturally for me then it's not meant to be. I've been blessed with. 4 gorgeous kids, I'd feel like I'm pushing my luck, does that make any sense? xx

 

[Tara1985]

I see, well these GP's sound horrid, also sounds unethical to me if they are making decisions based on their personal opinion. If you are not conceiving they should at least test to tell you why.

I understand what you mean Cosmic about symptom spotting and line spotting but Maybe is in LTTC and posts pics and the ladies always give her replies and advice. Might be worth it for the advice but if you feel comfortable in TTC then just stay put

xx

 

[Helven]

Amy- that sounds crazy to me that the dr has that Attitude in fact I think that is disgusting! If you want help I think you should see another dr. As I said I got help and very quickly on the NHS.

Cosmic- I fully understand that and I think a lot of people would agree with you too. You are very blessed to have 4 children already, I don't think you are pushing you luck and hopefully it will happen soon for you that you get no 5 xxxxx

 

[cosmicgirl]

I must admit Amy, my dr made me feel like that when I went for bloods, especially when they came back normal, that's what's put me off xx

 

[CupcakeMummy]

I hate it when GPs are like that.

I hope we are lucky before the 12 month mark (halfway there now)

Mainly because we got pregnant years ago when we were much younger and too immature really so I feel like our Dr wouldn't be of any help.

I'm just worried that what happened in the past may have caused problems that are affecting our chances now.

 

[Helven]

Is Lots of White cm a early pg. sign? Are there any pregnant ladies out there that had this as a early sign? I am 11 or 12 days past ov. I also feel a bit run down, heady and glands are up. Lots of pulling cramping strange feeling on and off on either side? Xxx

 

[CupcakeMummy]

Helven yes lots of lotiony CM an be a symptom. As can cramps!!

Fx for you!!! Xxxx

 

[Helven]

Fingers crossed for you cupcake, I saw a female dr who specialised in family planning to kick things off when we first decided to find out what was up
