@shelleybear0313 we've all been there. It's very hard not to test! I was TTCing my 3rd month and got pregnant which ended start of this month. So I'll be my 4th month in September xxx

shelleybear0313 · 30/08/2018 07:42

Morning delilah7 thanks for the response, nice just having people to talk to. Just been reading through the thread and it's cheered me up a bit. I really need to stop testing and wait for Monday, obviously that's what my head says till tomorrow morning when I pop in the toilet to do another test! 🙈 how long have you been ttc? ☺️💖xx

Bambionlce80 good morning,! ☺️ it's actually nice to know I'm not on my own, brings my feet back down to the ground knowing it's the medication. I had nightmare sweats around ov too. So sorry it didn't work for you. What's your next step now? What mg were you on? This tww is finishing me off. Hopefully next month if af comes I'll be a little calmer and relaxed. 💖xx

Delilah7 · 30/08/2018 07:37

@cupcakesandglitter I'm feeling ok to be honest which is abit worrying because normally when AF is on her way I feel awful and would expect to with the first period after MC. I'm just abit confused as I'm so regular and you're meant to bounce back better as it was an early miscarriage.... I'm awfully confused haha. How're you darling? Xxx

cupcakesandglitter · 30/08/2018 07:32

@Delilah7 fx she's as nice as everyone says, and she can help you out!! How are you feeling? X

Delilah7 · 30/08/2018 07:29

@cupcakesandglitter I will Hun. It's not my usual doctor but apparently she's nice so hopefully she will have some good news to tell me. Or Atleast something to tell me so I don't think I'm going insane xxxx

BambiOnIce80 · 30/08/2018 07:28

shelleybear0313 I've done 9 months of clomid before. It didn't work for me, but yes to the insomnia and epic mood swings! I'd never had boob tenderness before using it, but still get it in TWW even now. I also had the pleasure of night sweats around ovulation with clomid. All normal side effects of it, apparently 🙄

cupcakesandglitter · 30/08/2018 07:28

@Delilah7 good luck tomorrow hun, keep us posted xxxx

Delilah7 · 30/08/2018 07:27

@BambiOnIce80 let us know how you get on lovely 😊

BambiOnIce80 · 30/08/2018 07:24

Good morning all and welcome newbies 🌞

Just catching up on yesterday. @BabySquid, I hate testing early too but I did last cycle because there was a big night out and I didn't want to be all bitter and twisted if I missed out on lovely cocktails only for AF to rockup the day after 😒 Got a BFN, AF did indeed rock-up the day after and I didn't mind quite as much because I'd had lovely cocktails with my friends 🍸

I'm also a biomedical scientist and thought about the salivary ferning, but even I draw the line there! 🔬 SSP needs no further ammunition than I'm already giving her to send me nuts 😉

It's also my first acupuncture session today ladies. I'll report back for you @Rach142 📍

Delilah7 · 30/08/2018 07:21

@shelleybear0313 welcome hunny.
I had a pregnancy last month and had creamy/watery cm about a week before BFP. I took my test a few days after AF was due. Keep your head up. You're not out till AF shows xx

shelleybear0313 · 30/08/2018 07:20

Good morning ladies, hope you don't mind if I tag along? Just looking to make some friends on this baby journey.
A little bit about me, been ttc now for just over 3 years, had an ectopic last year with right tube removal due to large rupture. On my first month of Clomid. Symptom spotting is driving me a little loopy. Af due Monday. I'm currently experiencing sore nipples but not breast, this is really unusual for me as I got big boobs but they just don't work usually. Lots of lower cramps and had then since ov. Tired but insomnia, mood swings, cried on an advert yesterday! 🙈 and excessive creamy cm, sorry tmi. 2 bfn yesterday and today. Feeling a bit glum today. Anyone else had the same symptoms or can offer advice?
Thank you ladies, and baby dust in abundance to you all. 💖x

Delilah7 · 30/08/2018 07:16

@AlwaysInJods no Hun I'm waiting for my first period after MC xxx

@bananabanana @MMKMN welcome newbies.

Day 30 of my cycle. 5 weeks since miscarriage bleed started and stopped. No signs of AF! Doctors tomorrow.

BabySquid · 30/08/2018 07:12

Also to @AlwaysInJods sorry I missed you sweet, keeping x'd for you too 🤗

BabySquid · 30/08/2018 07:11

@sunshine1987 you're not out yet... keep positive love 🤞🏻
Also @MrsR16 good luck to you sweetie.
Welcome to the new ladies @bananabanana & @MMKMN hope you find this thread as enjoyable and useful as I know I do!
BFPs for some on the horizon I can feel it 🤗

sunshine1987 · 30/08/2018 06:48

My temperature has dropped overnight so AF is on her way, my body has been so shit this month giving me symptoms I've never had these last 6 months. Feel so deflated.

PinguPengo · 30/08/2018 00:34

Wow just catching up - so many posts Smile

Congrats @purplestar - is that three BFPs on this thread? Such a lovely lucky thread and looking forward to hearing about your journeys (and hopefully to following you into BFP territory myself soon).

Welcome @MMKMN and @bananabanana and other newbies (still a newbie myself really though).

@crossfitgirl how was JT? Have to say I am more than a little jealous and hope it’s cheered you up after a tough couple of days. We don’t tend to DTD that much either so I think I might be having similar stresses next week.

bananabanana · 29/08/2018 23:01

Hi all! Can I join please?

TTC #1, 27 years old, got married last year, had the Mirena coil removed to start trying. Now on cycle 9/10 and 3DPO today, eek!

Good luck everyone!

Patapouf · 29/08/2018 22:55

HI everyone, just trying to catch up on the thread.

Big big congrats to purplestar what a lovely anniversary present!

Welcome to the thread cats

MrsR16 · 29/08/2018 22:28

@cupcakesandglitter @sunshine1987 aww thanks ladies! We shall see 😊 I hope we all get our BFPs soon! Xx

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 22:25

@AlwaysInJods when will you test? I've not yet, going to wait until Saturday as that's when I'm due on x

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 22:24

@MrsR16 all sounds positive though! Fingers crossed it's your month x

cupcakesandglitter · 29/08/2018 22:22

@MrsR16 that's understandable- not long to wait though, fx this is your month :) x

MrsR16 · 29/08/2018 22:21

@cupcakesandglitter officially AF is due on Monday... so I should be strong and hold out till then! I'm so keen to know either way though even though I'll be gutted if it's a BFN

cupcakesandglitter · 29/08/2018 22:18

@mrsof20118 Birmingham :)

@AlwaysInJods sounds like it could be IB! Fx

@MrsR16 how long until you test? Xx

MrsR16 · 29/08/2018 22:15

@sunshine1987 @AlwaysInJods I've been having cramping as well and feels like I've pulled a muscle (but without the pain!) in my stomach... I'm exhausted all the time even with going to bed at a very reasonable hour! I can't wait till we can all test!
