Hi Lou, there may still be hope, you may have implanted late and that's why it's not showing up on test yet, fingers crossed for you chick, according to Ovia my fertile week is 13th June so DH will be getting jumped on GrinI'm staying positive that this is our month

Sunny I know the feeling I have to work every weekend Sadxx

Loulabelle1990 · 04/06/2016 09:26

Morning ladies!

I done a FRER this morning and got a BFN Sad. AF was due on Thursday and still no sign. I am around 12/13DPO. Do you think there is still I chance I might be pg?? Maybe it's too early to detect the hormone? I don't know what to think now!

Hope everyone else is well. Sorry you have to work all weekend sunny! Hope it goes quick for u Hun xx

Sunnydays321 · 04/06/2016 08:11

Right, I'm on loulabelle poas watch now! Where are you girl? In the bathroom I hope busy peeing on a stick! Good luck.

Iv got to work all weekend, with two on calls... Although 1st on call last night was all quiet so one down. 8 day stretch this time so not quite as bad as usual and the weather isn't as good today and the DH is away so may as well go to work! Have a good weekend everyone! Xx

Cookie22 · 03/06/2016 19:44

Ps fx for you Loula! Let us know how you get on testing huni xx

Cookie22 · 03/06/2016 19:43

Thanks ladies, I phoned nhs24 and they suggested going for a warm bath and paracetamol + ibuprofen. This seemed to help and also napped for a while. Still feel pain but not as excruciating as today so I'm just going to monitor it. Sunny my first thought was an ovarian cyst too. I've been cramping and had a constant pulling pain in right hand side since ovulation. Can't face this pain every month! Xx

Sunnydays321 · 03/06/2016 19:02

Oh cookie, poor you. Maybe an ovarian cyst. My sis had one rupture and ended up in a and e vomiting in pain, and nearly passing out. It resolved really quickly though and wasn't anything that would affect fertility. Apparently they are quite common. Definitely get it checked out, you need to know what it is!

Oooh exciting loulabelle! Let us know how you get on! Xx

BoBo90 · 03/06/2016 15:51

Definitely not that then! I really hope it's nothing my lovely and they can fix you up with a few tablets! Kick up a fuss until they do some tests and don't just fob you off and send you home xxx

Cookie22 · 03/06/2016 15:31

It's def not appendicitis as I had that a few years ago and had appendex taken out. It feels so similar though Bobo to the pain I had them. I hope it's not some sort of cyst or problem with my ovaries Sad feeling terrible xx

BoBo90 · 03/06/2016 14:22

HighHopes your excitement is so cute! 😊

Cookie that's awful I hope they don't keep you waiting too long at a&e! Hope it's not appendicitis! Does the pain disappear if you push down on the area? Xxx

Cookie22 · 03/06/2016 14:06

So happy for you high hopes! Just thought I'd update you girls, my pain has got worse & been sent home from work. Going to go to A&E tonight if not better as I can barely walk, pain is excruciating. May not be ttc related but I feel like someone is pulling my right ovary out. Will let yous know how I get on xx

HighHopes16 · 03/06/2016 08:04

It's so early that I'm trying not to get too excited but it's honestly all I can think about! Smile
I don't have many symptoms yet - Just a crampy stomach (sort of a trapped wind feeling.)

Loulabelle1990 · 03/06/2016 07:41

Sorry the witch got you help!

I am imagine it not feeling real at all. Probably not even once the baby is moving! It's such a wonderful thing Grin.

Did you have any other symptoms high?

Sunny I think I will test tomorrow when I'll be 13 DPO. No sign of AF today so far but I'm not holding my breath for a positive! I think I'll just be late, just think it's a bit weird as my previous cycles the days have been getting less in between, not more...xx

Sunnydays321 · 03/06/2016 07:30

Yay high hopes! Has it since I'm yet? I'm 13 weeks, iv had about 20 positive tests, 3 scans and heard the heart beat and still doesn't feel remotely real!!! Haha. Bet you feel on top of the world. You are walking around with a lovely little secret

Good luck Lou, when are you going to test?

Tinyemmy, is it definitely AF? No chance it's implantation of its appeared early?

Cookie the cramps might be a good sign.. I was so uncomfy in the first couple of weeks! Fingers crossed.

Sorry about the witch helpme.

Xx

HighHopes16 · 03/06/2016 06:27

Yay I'm in the preggo's section !! Grin

BoBo90 · 02/06/2016 21:37

Beautiful scan pictures from our resident Preggos Wink hopefully we will have more to see in a few months!

Good luck Lou and anyone else testing soon! Smile

The witch arrived

Loulabelle1990 · 02/06/2016 19:43

Lovely scan pictures sunny and chapman! So excited and happy for you both!

Sorry AF got you tiny! At least your cycle is shorter though! Hopefully it'll stay shorter so there's less time waiting around.

It's me who is 11dpo sunny. Still no sign of AF and she was due today! Fx she doesn't turn up the weekend xx

ClaireSunflower · 02/06/2016 19:41

Loving the scans chapman and sunny! really clear images of your little bambinos, so cute!

Sorry to hear you're having a rough 2ww cookie poor thing, those pains sound horrible! Fingers crossed it's a bfp on the way though! We've had quite a few on the thread now so it will be our turns soon! Smile

Welcome lizzie it's a good sign you're having regular cycles already. I agree with you about how hard it is not to mention to family about ttc. Me and DH have told a few close friends that we are trying but not to our families as they would be too excited/crazy to handle!

Lizzynic · 02/06/2016 19:25

Hi cookie, my cycle is every 4th week on the clock, been like that since November after having the implant removed in September, was hoping to be one of the very few to score on first try but there's always the next cycle I guess xx

Cookie22 · 02/06/2016 19:11

Sunny & Chapman! Your scans are amazing! All the stress, tears and worry must definitely be worth it when you see the little life you've created on the scan! Have yous both 'went public' with the news? Chapman I'm 6dpo Hun. Been having quite a hard time after ovulation this month to be honest. Been having bad cramps on& off since Sunday and had quite severe pain in my lower right hand side last night (felt like I was experiencing appendicitis again!). Will be glad once this tww is over! Welcome Lizzie, hope you're feeling ok after AFs arrival! Are your cycles regular? Xx

tinyemmy · 02/06/2016 19:05

Congratulations high hopes and great scans sunny and chapman.

I was feeling positive this month with the appearance on EWCM and was expecting to test / AF in about a weeks time but it appears she has arrived today - 27 day cycle!! I don't think I've ever had one of those! So looks like I'm out this month, hopefully ovia isn't correct about the 5 day luteal phase. I think I might try some OPKs next month. Good luck everyone!

HighHopes16 · 02/06/2016 18:59

Thanks everyone! Smile
Loving the scan pictures chapman & sunny - must be so reassuring seeing the little heartbeat?

Lizzynic · 02/06/2016 18:26

Wow Sunnydays that scan pic is so clear! Congradulations!

My cycle settled around November but DH wanted to wait for 6 regular cycles before ttc which is why we started in May.

The DH and I thought it would be easy ttc but clearly it's not as easy as they taught us at school. I think the hardest thing about TTC is not telling our family's, we have decided we want to surprise them when we finally get the chance to have a 12week scan so we don't feel so pressured about it all but deep down I feel I'm putting pressure on myself. Xx

Sunnydays321 · 02/06/2016 18:17

Aw high hopes!!! Yay! So happy for you, congratulations!! 6 months is the magic number. Iv been waiting for signal to check in all day!

Yay Chapman, gorgeous scan! Hope this puts your mind at ease, lovely healthy little baby there! Congratulations!

I had my scan today too! All good, they have put me one day ahead so due on the 7th December. Baby happily squirming and kicking me away in there, and we could see it swallowing and waving.. All that for something that's only 10cm hey! Amazing!

Welcome lizzy, have your cycles settled down after implant. Sorry about AF but fingers crossed it happens soon for you.

Hope everyone else is good. Who is next to test... Isn't someone 11dpo? I can't remember who?

Xx

cnchapmanxx · 02/06/2016 18:04

Congrats high hopes!!! That's amazing news happy and healthy 9 months ahead! X

Cookie - I got a private scan done today as I was so worried and anxious but I do have another one on Wednesday! How are you Hun? How many dpo r u?

Thanks for all the comments girls about the holiday Was amazing!

Sunny when is your scan Hun?

Well I caved girls and got a private scan done today because I was so so worried and wanted to put my mind at ease. Little baby chapman heart beating away at 165bpm measuring 4.01cm the right size for 11 weeks! So so happy xxx
