This is going to sound really weird but last month when I was due on I got a nasty spot.....on my "lady bits" and I have another on now, in the exact same place. The human body really is a weird and wonderful thing!

Delilah7 · 11/08/2018 15:38

@Whowouldhavethoughtit exactly Hun, keep going. Doesn't mean next month won't be the month. It's just the waiting that's crap :(

@Delilah7 it was negative :( hey ho. I know deep down I'm not, but it's not over till aunt flow starts singing!

Delilah7 · 11/08/2018 14:10

@Virgo89 sorry AF turned up. I had a drunken night for the first time in years. Drowned my sorrows abit from the last two weeks. There was so many kids and they wouldn't leave me alone which I love but was just hard as I could see my OH looking at me and I was when he had his god daughter etc.

@Whowouldhavethoughtit how did the test go?? Hope you're ok 😘

@AuntieGeekwelcome lovely xxxx

Sorry it was late and I didn't respond @purplestar9 Cysts run in my family, they've had loads and all been ok. Mine ended up being a growth that needed cutting out in the end. Hope they get it sorted for you xx

Welcome @AuntieGeek! Come join us on the 40+ thread too. Lots of ladies in similar situation xx

Welcome @AuntieGeek! Come join our new thread - called something like TTC first baby continued. Smile

AuntieGeek · 11/08/2018 08:44

Mind if I join in? Had my mirena out yesterday after 10 years. Zero idea if/when AF might turn up and am more trying not trying if that makes sense.

I'm 43 in a fortnight and DF is 41 so we might be pushing our luck a bit.

CookieWaffle · 11/08/2018 01:04

Ahh thanks @ChaosMoon and everyone :) Chatted it over with DP earlier and I thought he'd got it, but then when we went out later and I said I couldn't drink he was like "So you think it's really happening then?". Umm yes...

Aww sorry @Virgo89 :( go enjoy a few drinks at the wedding xx

Virgo89 · 10/08/2018 22:23

AF just arrived, pfft. To be fair we only DTD twice this month and I don't even know if it was during FW lol, you can tell I'm not putting too much pressure on this.. I wasn't expecting AF for another 5 days or so. Ah well, I have a wedding tomorrow, at least I can have a drink 🍷

Whowouldhavethoughtit · 10/08/2018 20:56

Oh my word so much has happened since I was last here!
If anyone remember my partners burnt sausage from a mishap with preseed. He is fully recovered and happy to be getting jiggy with it again.

StarCongrats to the positives!
StarDelilah- I have a sister JUST like that. You have to hold your head high, know you are better than that and keep doing your thing.
Star please can we start an iddy biddy titty club too? I'm a "large" lady but I have teeeeny boobs! Is it wrong I'm excited to get pregnant for the bigger boobs?!

So because I messed up my ovulation dates I think we may have just caught it but I'm not 100% sure.
Few things I have noticed from the tww- I keep getting feelings like I really need a dodgy poo but I don't have one.
I've got 2 nasty spots in my neck that I sometimes get when I am due on. And some really little spots in my scalp that I rarely ever get but when I run my hands through my hair I can feel them. Apart from that I have no symptoms and they may not even be symptoms!

I'm 9dpo (I think!) So I'm going to test tomorrow. I've been really chilled but I don't know if I can wait any longer :(

ChaosMoon · 10/08/2018 20:54

Ha ha, thanks @BambiOnIce80 😂 I'm good but exhausted. I got overtaken walking down the street by an old woman with a limp today.

Very excited for everyone hitting ovulation, and wishing you all luck with the 2ww.

And of course I'm insanely happy for you @CookieWaffle. It's been making me smile day.

BambiOnIce80 · 10/08/2018 20:30

@CookieWaffle, I am partial to overusing the emojis 😁 I do swear rather too much in person, so find the emojis helpful for (hopefully) not offending the sensibilities of you kind ladies on this thread 😬

I hope you are relaxing and celebrating your BFP this weekend? 🙂

purplestar9 · 10/08/2018 19:56

@CookieWaffle I've been told by my gp that she thinks it's a cyst but being sent for further tests anyway which I've had to wait 5 weeks for, but it's on Tuesday so only a few days to wait now!

Delilah7 · 10/08/2018 15:16

@CrystalBlaze @purplestar9 thank you ladies.
Crystal sometimes the tww without symptoms is a good sign ;) was for me anyways when I was!!

CookieWaffle · 10/08/2018 13:58

Thank you @CrystalBlaze! xx

CrystalBlaze · 10/08/2018 13:56

Hi gang! Not been on for a couple of days so just catching up.

@CookieWaffle CONGRATULATIONS!!!! StarSmileFlowers So happy for you!

Fingers very much crossed for everyone else symptom spotting and hoping for news!

@Delilah7 so sorry you are still having family trouble. Focus on yourself and doing some nice things for you, you and your OH deserve it.

Also welcome new ladies! Smile

I am a week away from expecting AF. Had a couple of glasses of fizz at a family do yesterday but didn't fancy anything more.

I feel absolutely no different save for a very slight upset stomach a couple of days ago. No feeling sick, no sore boobs, nothing. Not even a hint. Guess we'll see where we are in a week's time.

CookieWaffle · 10/08/2018 13:54

Oh @purplestar9 I've just had a lump cut out from mine. So glad it's out now!

@BambiOnIce80 I'm loving the emotes :)

BambiOnIce80 · 10/08/2018 13:37

You are an inspiration @ValidUser! I'm in fertile window now on CD13 (hoping for a BFP on the OPK's either tomorrow or Sunday). My back is fine, so we're covering our bases and DTD the old fashioned way CD11, tonight, maybe tomorrow (depending on OPK's) and then Sunday & Monday... Oh, the romance of having DTD planned out like a military operation! 🙄 Luckily DP is fully embrassing the challenge and doesn't think I'm 🦇 💩 🤪 (just for you @ChaosMoon 😉 And how are you doing?).

purplestar9 · 10/08/2018 13:10

Just catching up from this morning, you girls have been busy! Haha
I'm sorry @Delilah7 , hope it all passes soon.

I have some bosom someone can have :) although they may not appreciate the lump that's currently included in one of them! Tuesday's appointment seems to have taken ages to come around!

Delilah7 · 10/08/2018 12:49

@ValidUser keep going!!! 😍 doing amazing.

I'm so worried about getting into his again lol. My OH is so against sex until my next period is fine it's hilarious 😂he thinks doctor said that. She didn't she said wait so we can know for sure when your due date is when I next get pregnant haha

OP posts:
BambiOnIce80 · 10/08/2018 12:45

@Delilah7, as I remember someone else saying on here previously, there's definitely one in every family 😕 She sounds a lot like my grandmother 😔 Hopefully she'll calm down soon and leave you in peace.x

ValidUser · 10/08/2018 12:43

Think I need to start temping. Blazing positive OPK yesterday, but even more blazing today on day 17.

Keeping on keeping on with those sexy syringes and hoping for a strong swimmer!

Delilah7 · 10/08/2018 12:34

@BambiOnIce80 no problem if you need any help in the arse and thigh department I can help too! 😂
Yes it wasn't nice at all - and I know when I've done things wrong but on this occasion I really haven't. I just told her how I felt and her back got up.

OP posts:
BambiOnIce80 · 10/08/2018 12:32

Very generous of you @Delilah7, thanks lovely! 😂 Sorry to hear that your sister situation isn't looking any better 😔 Being forced into discussing something so private so publicly sounds hideous 😞

Delilah7 · 10/08/2018 12:25

@BambiOnIce80 just take mine. All of you 😂😂
