2ww

@Mollydog88 no it's not a myth some women get very light spotting usually pink in colour or some cramping or you might feel your temperature drop I felt very cold on my implantation day and had cramping, everyone is different with pregnancy 🙂

@helen290 is implantation bleeding actually a thing? I’ve read so much conflicting information, I think I’m doing the opposite of being hopeful and trying to explain every symptom as something else...ever the pessimist!

@Owlpatrol I don't normally cry especially at a Christmas song lol

@Mollydog88 that could be implantation bleeding tho!!.

@owl patrol @helen290 I feel awful and only 7 or 8dpo! Went for a run yesterday and managed 3miles with a very purple face feeling sick (I’m a marathon runner!)

Had lots of pink cm this morning and lots of cramping and bloating and sore boobs and just feel horrendous. Pretty sure it’s the start of of an early af :(

@Helen290 yep and I'm not even preggers ...yet although I do feel different in this tww I've literally been crying at everything since about 4dpo!!

I don't know if anyone else who got a positive pregnancy test feels like this but I feel dizzy sick, exhausted never felt so tired and I literally cried just from listening to a Christmas song lol.😂 has anyone else felt this way?

@Wendykennedy that might be something, I wish you luck Hun and maybe test again in a few more days hope we all have some luck this Christmas 🙂

@Helen290
Well the 8th is something to look forward to. This may be your last Christmas without a baba in your arms so try to relax and enjoy it all :-)

I'm regular but I've long cycles of about 32 days. No symptoms other than a bit of a tugging feeling in my tummy but it could be anything so trying not to read into it

@Wendykennedy are your cycles regular?

@Wendykennedy aww I wish you luck it's nice to have some where we can worry and talk to like minded people 🙂 I would be lost if I didn't have this.
Also I just spoke to fertility and they said the feelings I'm having are normal and a lot of women get more severe cramping like period pains and they think they are having a miscarriage but the feelings you get at a start of pregnancy are the same so it can be confusing she said as long as there is no blood no need to worry and she booked me for a 6/52 scan on the 8th jan kinda feels like I'm tempting faint 😔.

@Helen290

Well fingers crossed and keep us posted over the next few weeks!
I'm still in the tww but due AF tomorrow with none of my usual PMS symptoms and no BFP either...

@Wendykennedy I know it's so easy to give advice but doing it is so much harder, I have IBS also so symptoms I have with that can be similar so it can get confusing, it's a weird fluttering feeling tho kinda like an ache like how you feel when your really excited lol I think I'll loose my mind lol 😂😂

@Helen290
I've never been pregnant so I can't really advise. All I'd say is, having been lurking on a couple of the chats on here over the last few weeks is that everyone is different and that what feels like a normal pregnancy to one person is someone else either getting their AF or maybe even having a MC so I think you could wrap yourself up in knots with the symptoms bit. Use the tests as your crutch and ween yourself off and listen to your body without comparing it would be my advice.
.... now if I could only just go and take that advice myself!!! 😂

gain till Saturday we'll try not to and as you said leave it longer each time, just every little feeling I get I worry I have never been pregnant before and the last time I was ended in MC I had aching then but it was more often and it wasn't me up, so I don't know if what I feel is normal, I have like a very dull ache in my uterus usually more so sorry tmi if go toilet and it only seems to happen in mornings it's not severe and my CM is the same not changed.

@Wendykennedy thank you yeh good idea I don't think I'll test again till Saturday we'll try not to and as you said leave it longer each time, just every little feeling I get I worry I have never been pregnant before and the last time I was ended in MC I had aching then but it was more often and it wasn't me up, so I don't know if what I feel is normal, I have like a very dull ache in my uterus usually more so sorry tmi if go toilet and it only seems to happen in mornings it's not severe and my CM is the same not changed.

@Miss83
Ye very similar, just turned 33, married 4.5 years and thought we better grow up and give it a bash 😂
But im used to deciding something and going and getting it so this is a whole new lesson is patience and surrendering control! 😳

@Helen290
That must be so tough! You've got your positive so that's great! Maybe try stretching out the testing each time... so 1 day gap, 2 day gap 3 day gap etc until you build confidence in it?

These are my tests over the last 3days

Guys I need some advice, basically I had my first positive pregnancy test on Tuesday 10dpo which has gradually got slightly darker each day I am doing this because I'm so scared after my MC I have no one else to talk to and I'm feeling very lonely of course I can speak to my husband and he is lovely but he doesn't get it how crazy it makes you feel .
So do you think I should stop with the the testing every day? And just leave it till next week to test again, I'm just worried doing it every day is making me stressed 😫 and I know logically there is nothing I can do if things go wrong 😔 I am just so scared I really don't want another MC. Xx

Currently 4dpo today and so the symptom spotting starts currently got tugging pains and sore nipples lol. I know it's just hormonal whether that means I'll be pregnant or not but I can't help reading into it

@Wendykennedy yes it is... Just turned 34 so thought we best get a move on. How about you?.. is this your first?

My sister in law is also trying for her first, she's on cycle 8 and super stressed out about it so I'm trying yes trying to stay more relaxed. We will see how long that lasts.

Thanks Miss83! Fingers crossed for us both! I hear ya on the testing front! Very easy to get swept up! Is this your first time TTC

@dingdongdigeridoo he really is clueless! Fingers crossed the sore throat is a sign for you. I am just having dizzy spells but suffered with a really bad case of vertigo about two months ago which lasted week's. Went in the end but now I am just spinning out if the blue now and again... Really hope it doesn't come back like it was!!

@Wendykennedy ah that is really frustrating! Fingers crossed you get one or the other soon... Hopefully the BFP out of the two. I'm due boxing day! Was thinking of testing Christmas morning but I'm trying not to buy any tests until I need to as I feel I may let it take over. I am also on cycle 1. Good luck.

Hope we have more Christmas BFP's!l

I’m 6dpo and feeling knackered with a sore throat. Normally I’d put it down to pre xmas stress, but my first pregnancy symptom with DS was a horrendous sore throat. I don’t feel cold-y in general, so keeping everything crossed.

Starting to get a little frustrated and only cycle 1!!! I'm DPO 12 and due AF on DPO 14 of a fairly regular cycle albeit 32 days. Ive tested this morning with a BFN but usually I've PMS symptoms and brown spotting days in advance of AF and this morning absolutely nothing! In total limbo!!! Facing into a BFN but no hint of AF coming yet!!!

@Helen290 yes I know what you mean. I’m Constantly over analysing each symptom and trying to compare it to previous pregnancy or MC. To be honest I have a constant dull ache around my uterus and ovaries, like you said, not painful I’m just aware of it. Then if I move suddenly I feel it more. I do actually recall having that with my first pregnancy though (daughter now nearly 2)
Like you said what will be will be, for now I’m staying positive and hopeful. If everything goes smoothly, I don’t want to remember my first few months of pregnancy as being overly anxious and miserable. And I want to enjoy Christmas
