Hey, I'm just starting the tww and looking for some friends to join me for the wait. I'll probably test when af is due on the 16th. I've got to the point where I don't know what cycle I'm on - I think it's 8 though!

AF got me today. Gutted! Never had sore boobs before ... wtf. At least I can now add that to long list of symptoms to ignore now! On with cycle #5

Peanutty86 · 18/09/2017 09:02

Oh no so sorry to hear @Littleredwagon2308
😔

Littleredwagon2308 · 18/09/2017 08:52

@Peanutty86 there still hope though!

AF has arrived Sad

Peanutty86 · 18/09/2017 08:26

@Littleredwagon2308 have you tested again this morning?

I thought I had a UTI last night, really struggled to sleep. Then woke up this morning with the highest temp yet, it was supposed to be down, I'm 12dpo and usually start spotting. Tested with FMU and wasted a FRER and two internet cheapie but all three are BFN...

MayMay87 · 18/09/2017 07:39

@Hollsers92 that's a lovely idea!!

Thanks for the welcome everyone :) defiantly thought AF would of been here today so far nothing if not tomorrow I'm going to test Wednesday morning. Absolutely no symptoms though but usually I can feel AF coming. Just a have a really positive feeling this month is my BFP it's so hard to stay patient and not get your hopes too high.

Hollsers92 · 17/09/2017 22:00

@MagggieMay we got married in July and they knew we wanted to start a family asap so I guess so!! We've invited them all for a lunch out and we've wrapped a bib each for them with a note attached asking them to look after the bib until baby needs it! :)

MagggieMay · 17/09/2017 21:50

Holsers- how exciting! Telling the parents must be so exciting and will make it feel more real. Did they know you were trying?

Wagon - no news is good news!

Littleredwagon2308 · 17/09/2017 21:32

@MayMay87 Welcome!

Still no AF today. I tested and BFN Sad

sazzle3 · 17/09/2017 20:23

I will @Hollsers92 I'm deffo going 2 test tomorrow with me being due af today xx

Hollsers92 · 17/09/2017 20:11

That sounds positive @sazzle3. I've got everything crossed for you! Let us know how you get on x

sazzle3 · 17/09/2017 20:08

Thank you @Hollsers92. I had a couple of stabbing pains last night in my right side that lasted about 7-8 seconds when I was laid on my right side then since then I've had nothing at all. I really hope I get my bfp xx

Hollsers92 · 17/09/2017 19:56

Best of luck @sazzle!

@MagggieMay I'm feeling really good! Very tired, hungry and I have my small jabbing feelings in my left side of my lower abdomen. I'm still in shock about it all as silly as that sounds! We're telling our parents together next weekend with a little gift for them - can't wait to see their faces!

sazzle3 · 17/09/2017 19:41

So AF was due today according to both my apps on my phone and she normally arrives early hours without fail always has done and so far nothing I've had no cramping, spotting or anything which I always get, my nipples are still really sore. I've been away all weekend so haven't had chance to test so will be buying a test if af hasn't arrived tomorrow.

MagggieMay · 17/09/2017 17:32

Hi Hollsers,

How are you feeling?

Re: the bath, I've read lots that say after implantation it's bad for baby and it can prevent implantation. So as I'm pre- implantation I risked it today but no more after 6dpo. I guess at this point, feeling relaxed probably outweighs risk to implantation. Maybe.

How did people ever get pregnant in the olden days??? :)

Hollsers92 · 17/09/2017 17:29

Thank you @Betsy!
@MagggieMay I was advised not to have hot baths and for my partner not to have them too because it slows down his swimmers!! He was so happy finally being able to have a long bath last night after months of just showers.

MagggieMay · 17/09/2017 16:29

Hi maymay! I'm new to this too :)

Wagon, any update on AF?

I'm only 3/4 dpo but very sore gums and nausea all afternoon. Tempted to do an ic test to make sure I've not mixed up my days, but I know this is stupid. Probably just mild food poisoning/need a new toothbrush!

Anyone here got an opinion on hot baths pre bfp?

Xx

Betsyboo87 · 17/09/2017 15:53

Congratulations Hollsers92. Wishing you all the best for next 9 months. I was just logging on thinking we should be due another bfp on this thread.

Welcome MayMay87. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss and I hope you get your rainbow soon.

MayMay87 · 17/09/2017 14:41

Hi hope you don't mind me joining in with this group. Never posted anything before but feeling very anxious and would love support from people in a similar position to me. This is my 3rd cycle ttc after a loss on 01.05.17 at 14 weeks so not trying for my little rainbow. I'm due my AF anytime now not 100% on the exact date as my cycles have varied slightly since. Not really any symptoms except back ache and cramps on Friday 15th. Really hoping for my BFP this month but don't wait to get too excited.

Littleredwagon2308 · 17/09/2017 10:44

@MagggieMay Welcome Smile

I woke up with strong cramps in the night and got myself a hot water bottle. Was sure AF would be here by the morning as usual but wasn't. I've got weak cramps now, she's probably on her way.... Sad

Hollsers92 · 16/09/2017 19:03

@missanony * typo!

Hollsers92 · 16/09/2017 19:02

@missagony just anything really! Because we only found out today, I'm worried it won't stick but just trying to relax! Any advice in general about how to look after myself is appreciated!

missanony · 16/09/2017 18:32

I've been pregnant before hollser, what advice are you looking for?

MagggieMay · 16/09/2017 17:03

Hello, may I join?

Lovely reading about the bfp's :)

I'm ttc #1. I'm due AF on the 30th, so later than mid September, but would like some company in the tww!

Thanks :)

Hollsers92 · 16/09/2017 16:34

@sazzle3 I had cm a lot this week, creamy with a yellow tinge. I've only just dried up today really. Keep positive!
Thank you @Littleredwagon2308 I still can't believe it!
Has anyone been pg before who has advice for the first trimester?
