November Testing

[rachaellouise]

Yeah I dont know how people keep going with this month after month, I am feeling deflated now tbh and feel the stress building so much I am thinking maybe I should just give up, I am feeling incredibly let down by my body right now

 

[rachaellouise]

Sorry that she's arrived Rachael. for next cycle.

Hope you can get a Christmas

I really hope so Kizzibea, that would be THE BEST Christmas gift ever!

Give yourself some 'me' time while the witch is visiting and see how you feel about it after. I quite often cry when AF arrives but somehow the thought of getting my BFP someday helps me to pick myself up and keep going.

Maybe taking a month off will help. When it all got a bit too much for me I stopped checking everything so religiously and we just kind of went with the flow but I wasn't checking Ov days or anything. Relieved a bit of the stress for a while and meant that we felt a bit fresher when we started trying again.

I can totally see where you are coming from and I think if it doesnt happen next cycle I may try and have a 'month off' but I would just worry that I may miss my chance if I am not so 'anal' about checking EVERYTHING!!

I know what you mean. It felt weird for me to let go and I was lucky because I had other things to focus my mind on. I've been thinking about taking time off over Christmas to just relax and focus on other things so we'll see.

I've got a feeling the witch will be visiting me next. Got that heavy sort of feeling down there, not quite cramps, but not not cramps either.

Fingers crossed she doesnt get you!

I think Kizzibea is right, while you're having AF visit, take some time out.

I *love* relaxing in a hot bubble bath with a trashy magazine and maybe a sneaky bit of chocolate! Or an evening with a takeaway and glass of vino? Whatever takes your fancy really.

I know exactly what you mean about feeling deflated even though you've not been trying long, I felt the same a few days ago - my cycle is going on for a while and I'm starting to lose my marbles! But that's understandable because I think we expect it to be really easy and to fall preg straight away and while it happens that way for some people, it doesn't for others.

Having said that, I completely admire those who have stuck with TTC for so long, they're much, much stronger than I am!

Sorry she got you - I hate that feeling when she shows up
Here's to a Christmas bfp babe xxx

 

[linxminx21]

sorry got ya hun

 

[kizzibea]

Scared to go to the bathroom right now. Felt crampy again earlier on, not really crampy but just a bit. Sort of heavy down there and uncomfortable. And I just have a feeling that it's on its way.

Argh! I hate the final waiting bit of the 2ww.

 

[MissJuly10]

Hope she stays away for you Kizzibea. x

MrsMc you're sooo lovely!! everywhere x

Not sure I'll be a 19th tester any more - despite Friday's excitement, still haven't seen a temperature rise so think I misjudged ov symptoms thinking I knew the date. Now on day 25 and settling in for the long-haul like my cycles used to be. They suddenly went regular, I guess there's no reason why can't suddenly go irregular too...

 

[Lilelephant]

scotch- temp isnt always the most reliable, i would go by symptoms etc for ov

 

[ScotchEgg]

yeah, true, but...temp's been really good for me in the past - been using it for over 2 years for natural family planning to not get pregnant and have always seen a definite shift. have often seen EWCM and other symptoms more than once, and when I get them they're not very obvious - I'm never sure if they are signs or not. I check several times a day and most months I've not seen them at all.

Time will tell....
