Good luck everyone! Think I'm going to go this journey alone, I've asked for a few piece of advice etc but not really receiving anything which is a shame!

Twisted you can PM by clicking the four lines in the top right hand corner, clicking my account... and then it should come up then there will be something at the bottom which will take you to the site, and then you can access messages from there!!

Who else is left I think just emma after? Xx

@Misty it could be that the lack of symptoms is a symptom itself. I think it's too early to tell at 5 or 9 dpo (especially 5). The waiting game is enough to drive anyone mad, but please try not to make it worse for yourself by second-guessing everything :)

According to other cycles I have added data to FF for, random spotting should start for me in a couple of days, in the lead-up to AF. I think I am starting to feel a bit periody, but tbh I am not sure!

Well girlies I am either 9dpo according to Clue or 5dpo according to Ovia and I feel absolutely nothing. For the last say 6 months, my boobs have been hurting and I've been having tummy cramps literally a whole week to ten days BEFORE af is due to arrive. I had a little bad back yesterday but today, nothing. No cramps, no bad boobs, no lethargy, no aches or pains, absolutely nothing. And af is due on Sunday, that's only 5 days away. But it could arrive a week Thursday which is 9 days away but still, I have absolutely not a single symptom. Feeling really down about it tbh coz I feel like we tried loads this month. I know it's not over til the red lady arrives, but I literally don't even feel remotely periody. When I was pg last time, about 10 days before I was due to come on, my boobs were literally untouchable. Just breathing hurt them 😂 I literally couldn't bear it, and I'm only small up top so how they were so bad, I will never know, it was agony! And also I had a near-constant sharp almost stitch-like twingy pain in my very low tum, above my foof but below belly button. That started definitely a week before af was due. And I also had normal af cramps for about 10 days before I was due on which was all normal. This month I am literally not feeling a thing, af or otherwise!! 👎🏼 I'm worried that my cycles have suddenly gone super long (it was 55 days between the start of my miscarriage bleed and my next "normal" period) but I've always been like clockwork 28 days, I could even predict what day of th week it would arrive and approx what time of day! so what if I've been going for it dtd the last fortnight based on my old regular cycle and haven't even ovulated yet?! That would be a nightmare!

Just messaged you @charl!!

@flat how many dpo are you? Maybe it's still to early?

@pibbee it could be implantation, had cramps before my usual af time this cycle x

I've messaged you charl eeeeeek xx

charl19 · 30/05/2017 13:08

Got both your numbers! So far there is me, Pibbee and ttcnovice in the group!! Message me your numbers and come over! Very exciting! X

Pibbee · 30/05/2017 12:31

Oooh very clever @ttc! I have not noticed those 3 dots before, and I always use the mobile site! I have now messaged my number too.

It would be great if it was implantation going on, but I doubt it! Dunno, I just have a feeling this whole thing is gonna take forever..... It's starting to get boring in fact Grin Hmm

ttcnovice · 30/05/2017 12:21

Sorry about the BFN @Flatwhite31  when is AF due? Hopefully it's just too early yet!

@Pibbee could the dull cramps be implantation I wonder? You'd be around the right time 🤞🏼

@charl19 I've sent across my number via PM! For anyone else using the app I just went on the MN mobile site using Safari to do it. If you click on Talk and then Threads I'm On, three little dots will show next to all of @charl19 's messages - click on these and up comes the option to PM Smile.

Pibbee · 30/05/2017 11:22

@charl I just tried to PM my number but can't figure out how to do it on my phone #dunce. Will try again later!

@flatwhite how long have you been TTC for? Very frustrsting if AF is coming again - but remember that it can take a while even if nothing is wrong.

I am 7-9 dpo I think. Not too sure exactly. Feel a bit like AF is on the way (sort of slight dull cramps going on) but I'm only on CD22 so dunno. We didn't DTD on the best days this cycle so not expecting much tbh.

Twistedsister7 · 30/05/2017 11:11

@charl19 WhatsApp group sounds excellent. I'm in but I don't know if I can pm from phone app!!

I'm currently on holiday with in laws & feeling suffocated. DH says I'm ungrateful!! After everything that has happened though I just need a break & im not getting it!!

charl19 · 30/05/2017 08:12

How many dpo are you flatwhite? I know it's disheartening but it's not over until af shows xx

If you all pm me your numbers I can start the whatsapp group? I might be out of wifi range later (am staying at my nans in Guernsey for a week), but will do it when I can!!

Well done misty it sounds like you really have covered all bases!! Got my fx for you! Would be nice if we could all stay together so we all get positives and then see our little bumps developing together!! Hopefully jellybean has kicked that off for us! 😍

Pibbee how many dpo are you?

Flatwhite31 · 30/05/2017 07:30

BFN today. So fed up. Beginning to wonder if there's something wrong.

JellyBean89 · 30/05/2017 00:39

@Misty well done on DTD! Fx for you
@TTC just pounce on him babe, I'm sure he won't mind 😉

JellyBean89 · 30/05/2017 00:37

OMG I think I would die if someone I know sees my comments on here! I've actually just emailed mumsnet asking to please remove my comments with the wedding pics 🙈🙈 I told my sister in law I like this forum for pregnancy stories and TTC so I would actually die if she saw my picture and knew how many times I DTD with her brother 😂😂 plus only a few ppl know we were TTC and that I'm pregnant, I don't want to be exposed because of what I posted 🙈🙈

Go for it ttc!! Hubster has been very accommodating with me this month 😂 he works 12 hour days on his feet and is often really tired, plus we go to bed different times. But I've been waking up when he's come to bed recently. Only tip I can say is the nudgy-bum 😂 literally just wiggle your bum on him in bed, any time, morning or night... worked every time this month for me! 🙈 good luck!
Finally in bed. I'm on my own in the office tomorrow thank god so I can just keep my head down quietly and ignore the shambles of Saturday night 😩 not drinking again for a while now (I'd love to say 9 months!) back to full time hours in work this week so also gonna go back to the gym and start eating healthy again. Focus on looking after myself and my body to make a healthy baby and stay away from drinking dramas 🙈
Night girlies xx

Fab DTD efforts @MistyBxx!! I need to catch up with you, send some inspiration over this way please!

DH has just rung me from work to say he's on his way home, so I'm going to try to stay awake so I can pounce on him when he gets in - wish me luck everyone Grin.

Also just working out... I've dtd 7 times in the last 14 days. 3 times in Clue FW and twice in Ovia FW and a couple of times before and after the windows. Did it 2 days in a row on what Clue says was my actual ovulation. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed, I feel like I have covered all bases this cycle and I'm just praying. I neeeeed to be pg now, I just want to stay home on weekends with my hubby eating nice food, cwtching up watching tv and not boozing😳 just growing a tiny human😍

Hey girlies, I'm like you pibbee I neeeed to go to bed, but I just can't. Dreading waking up for work tomoz 😭
I'm up for a whatsapp group, you can change the profile pic so it's not your face if you want to. I'm also terrified in case I know someone lol. I know there's only charl from Wales and we've established that we live in different areas and I don't know anyone from her area so I don't think I will know her. But literally, we know soooo much about each other 😂 from sex life to the contents of our knickers, mood swings, boobs and poop 💩 hahaha 🙈

ttcnovice · 29/05/2017 22:54

I've wondered the same @Pibbee! In fact I've changed a few little insignificant details now and again just because I suspect a few people I know use MN! The thought of DH's Auntie 'Jean' or Betty from down the road knowing how often DH and I DTD fills me with dread BlushGrin. I haven't changed anything major though - I feel like an imposter now!

littleemma1 · 29/05/2017 22:48

@charl19 I so wish I could like that last post 😂😂😂

Pibbee · 29/05/2017 22:47

Haha yes the things we say on here!!! I do sometimes wonder if anything I have said makes me identifiable but I don't think so. I think it would be good to be able to chat without fear of being identified on a public forum!

I am sooo tired and need to go to bed but am refusing, just to be stubborn. I'm actually acting like a toddler Grin

Bored of this stupid 2WW now too. I have no signs or symptoms of anything so kinda just wanna get on with the next one now!

charl19 · 29/05/2017 22:43

Yep!! I can guarantee none of my friends know about the colour of my cm and my knicker tendencies 😂

ttcnovice · 29/05/2017 22:39

Yes definitely @charl19 especially because we have had a tendency to over share some very personal things on this thread Grin. It's more the thought of who could be reading this and not posting than the worry of knowing any of you regular posters in real life that I think about!

charl19 · 29/05/2017 22:34

Cool well if a few more people want to, then I will get you to pm me your numbers! Obviously it will stay private within our little group anyway I hope that goes without saying! But I know what you mean ttcnovice I feel like I would be really embarrassed if I found anyone I knew on here!! It just feels like a totally different world!
