Anyone around 9 dpo?

Hi wondering if anyone is around 9dpo and wants to join me for the agonising wait? I'm trying to hold off from testing until at least 12dpo but it's so hard! I've never obsessed over something so much and I'm only on my 2nd cycle Sad

Congrats @blitzen !! Amazing news xx

@dreaminofholidays thanks I am really trying to be as relaxed as possible and keep it off my mind!

@Akasia I know how you feel. I'm feeling a bit down today as I woke up to the scan picture of one of my family members that got married a week before me so she obviously got caught within the first month. I'm happy for her but wish it would happen for meSad

Congratulations @dreaminofholidays @blitzen!! Seems to be just myself, @lavanderlove and @thethreeandme from the original posters left hoping for bfp's.
Here's to hope!
I've been away for a while and managed to chill and not think too much about baby stuff but now I am back in the game so to say and don't think I can bear another negative test. Everyone around me is eiher pregnant or just had a baby, and I can see myself getting very upset if not bft this month :(
Sorry about the rant, you're the only people other than my other half who I can talk to about this 😶

dreaminofholidays · 13/09/2018 00:23

@blitzen congratulations! how are you feeling? roughly how far along are you?

@thethreeandme my fingers are crossed for you.

@bobbysd345 any news your end? frustrating not knowing what our cycles are doing

@lavenderlove good to hear you can take a more relaxed approach. I think it can all be quite overwhelming.

I got my 2-3 weeks on a CBD yesterday. Was so relieved to see that. I am so hoping this little bean will stick. I am obsessively knicker checking at the moment worrying that it's all over.

How is everyone else? xxx

blitzen · 12/09/2018 21:55

Thank you very much @three and got my fingers crossed for you.

And thank you as well @squ1gle.

Really wishing everyone on this thread success xx

Squ1ggle · 12/09/2018 20:39

That's amazing @blitzen congratulations

Thethreeandme · 12/09/2018 20:12

Ahh yay congratulations.. so many bfp this month!!! I'm due af this weekend so will see lol xx

blitzen · 12/09/2018 16:08

Got my bfp yesterday. Still in shock. Going to take it day by day as I am absolutely terrified something goes wrong. Had negative test earlier in the cycle but I conclude that those early responses are no good for those with longer cycles. Good luck to all of you still waiting. Xx

lavenderlove · 11/09/2018 19:37

@Thethreeandme I'm ok thanks, I think I'll ovulate over the next 2-3 days. I've been a lot more relaxed about it this month, haven't done any OPK's and have been more casual with dtd. I had a smear yesterday though and I've been bleeding quite a bit today and really tender so just hoping that won't effect anything. How are you doing? X

BobbySD345 · 11/09/2018 08:00

@dreaminofholidays I'm usually 28 days. Pre Mc's I was 28 to the dot. Post Mc's I've still never gone past 30.

I had a flashy smily face on a CB OPK on 24th Aug too so it can't be that I didn't ovulate ??

Will just have to wait and see...just frustrating because the longer AF waits the further into the month we go and the less able I am to catch!!

If you test loads now you've had a positive, you can use those dip pot cheap Poundland ones where the line gets progressively darker as HCG rises. They're what I used last time because I was getting through so many checking I was still pregnant 🙈🙈🙈 love how we are all the same ! Hubby never understands the need to buy all these kids.

dreaminofholidays · 10/09/2018 22:45

@bobbysd345 what is your usual cycle length? are you usually regular? I hate not knowing what's going on...

I thought I didn't have any symptoms but actually felt a little dizzy when out with the dogs tonight and just so tired so got into bed about 9pm. DH just woke me. Doesn't really feel real yet, did 3 tests yesterday. Already feeling the urge to test tomorrow morning again.

@thethreeandme glad you are feeling more chilled this month. The waiting is an absolute pain. xxx

BobbySD345 · 10/09/2018 21:28

Day 36 and still no AF ... I have been really bloated all day and had pains so I was expecting her all day but nothing so far ...

@dreaminofholidays dtd twice ! So lucky 😍 how are you feeling?

@xJune88 keep us posted. You'll get your 2-3 soon !!

Thethreeandme · 10/09/2018 18:30

Ahh I'm really haply for you, just goes to show it'll happen when it wants to! We can dtd every other day, lay on our backs, take tests . If a selected bean isn't ready it's not going to happen! It's pointless me saying relax.. but maybe pay for a private test at 8 weeks to put you at ease a little.. I'm due any day now.. no idea when due to last 2 cycles being weird lol either yesterday right up until next Sunday lol.. don't feel any different though, and I'm not testing, don't even have an urge to if I'm honest I'm not getting back into all of that! Xx

dreaminofholidays · 10/09/2018 18:26

@thethreeandme thanks! I think this was cycle 3. I had a MC in April so feel some nerves that this little bean will not stick.

This month I have been so stressed with work and I didn't start opks until late in my cycle as I ovulated so late the month prior I didn't have many sticks left. We only DTD twice this month so that's another surprise.

I booked my first app today, I figured I want to get this pregnancy logged either way.

How is everyone else? xxx

xJune88 · 10/09/2018 10:56

Thankyou girls. Yeah I'm also waiting for my 2-3 suppose I'll know by then xx

Thethreeandme · 10/09/2018 07:57

@dreaminofholidays wow congratulations.. you were one of the original posters from before!! How long were you trying? Amazing news! And @bobbysd45 I know it's crap, happened to me last month had a cycle of 35 days!!! Normally 28, I wad convinced the tests must be wrong then I started to worry something was wrong with me but then when af turned up I was kinda relieved xx

dreaminofholidays · 09/09/2018 21:20

@bobbysd45 sorry to hear about your mcs. Sounds very difficult.

I did a CBD and got 1-2 week's. I never got to.2-3 weeks with my last pregnancy so I'm just really hoping to see 2-3 week's soon. will reassure me a little although of course I know there's so much that can go wrong.

I did read somewhere that being happy and excited about pregnancy doesn't change the outcome so I may as well try and be happy now and if it goes wrong, it goes wrong x

BobbySD345 · 09/09/2018 21:05

@xJune88 meant to say don't feel too begrudged because it may be I was referred due to the nature of the first MC. I don't know if it is always the done thing if you see what I mean xx

BobbySD345 · 09/09/2018 21:03

@xJune88 I agree you can see a heartbeat on a scan and even within minutes of leaving it can stop so I know what you mean. It gets you excited. We had one at 7 weeks first time, a private one, and the midwife reckoned we lost bean at around 9 weeks. Second time around there was never a heartbeat but having the scan at 5 weeks helped me to prepare for the inevitable.

If this is your third then it is third time lucky I just know it. You'll have a nice sticky bean getting comfy in there 💕💕💕

xJune88 · 09/09/2018 20:05

@BobbySD345 no nothing been offered at all. My aftercare was disgusting though to be honest I was sent home the day of medical management which I know is normal. Then offered nothing, no scans no reassurance no help nothing. I don't know how I feel about early scans had 2 in my last pregnancy saw very strong heartbeat even up to 8 weeks and it still ended... xx

BobbySD345 · 09/09/2018 19:50

@dreaminofholidays congrats!! That is a strong line!!! Might be worth doing a CB digi that shows the weeks !

@xJune88 have you been referred ? I got referred on my 2nd miscarriage and they've done allsorts of tests which have shown nothing but they do scan really early once you do catch and then keep a closer eye on you throughout. My 2nd pregnancy the ward scanned me at 4, 5 and 6 weeks, so you could ring them and they'd get you in pre 8 weeks !

I'm on day 35 and still no AF but getting negatives. I am so confused. I never have a cycle this long and even with 2 MCs I have consistently had 28-30 cycles. Also not feeling very well and haven't been right since last Saturday. I know it sounds awful but part of me feels like if this isn't "the month" I just want AF here already so I can feel better and concentrate on next month ... is that bad... ☹

xJune88 · 09/09/2018 13:01

I don't really know what to do to be honest. My last pregnancy got to 14 weeks so have no expectations really. Baby sadly died around 9. Guna take each day as it comes. Not ringing midwife till 8 weeks for booking and hoping they'll scan me sooner rather than later although I saw strong heartbeat twice in last pregnancy. My dad passed away same time as second loss though so I think that had an impact x

dreaminofholidays · 09/09/2018 12:30

@xJune88 are you going to keep testing? Right now it doesn't feel real.

Currently fighting the urge to go and buy a CBD test so sure I will be in the car heading to boots soon.

On my last pregnancy I never got past 'pregnant 1-2 weeks' even though I knew I should have been seeing 3+.

I wish I had some words of wisdom around worrying.... just so hard not to x
