Ahh I'm honestly driving myself wild!! Have you done a test yet?
I just read that light pink spotting can be a sign of stress... now I'm stressed because I've been stressing 😩

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 21:58

@AlwaysInJods felt sick only when in the car but generally other than the cramps and spotty there's nothing really. Had a bit of creamy CM but nothing that needed a liner or anything lol. Symptom spotting out in full force 🙈 bring on Saturday x

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 21:56

@sunshine1987 yep exactly the same. I started feeling really nauseous on Sunday pm & have been feeling sick in waves since. My boobs literally grew on Monday 😂 and tmi, sorry, have had quite a bit of white creamy cm over the past few days.

I usually get really bad PMS (DH & I ALWAYS have an argument 2-3 days before)... so far I've had nothing. What about you? X

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 21:49

@AlwaysInJods yeah, had cramps and pinching since Saturday and felt like I had done sit ups. Then this evening I've started spotting but it's not like blood blood, like brownish/pink. I dunno. Have you had any other signs? x

Hi all!

Please can I join?

30, married 2 years. Came off the pill about 5 months ago but only this week have we 'properly' started to try and I'm already incredibly excited (and super nervous!!)! Grin

Good luck all, can't wait to follow your journeys!

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 21:22

Thank you @Delilah7 and @sunshine1987 - awful frustrating isn't it!! Have you got cramps too?

@MrsC87 I'm in Cornwall 🙂

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 21:14

Welcome @LondonKez xx
@mrsof20118 I'm down South x

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 21:13

@AlwaysInJods I have the same, can't work out if it's IB or AF gearing up to show her ugly face, though she's not due for a few more days. I'm 10DPO too x

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 21:12

@AlwaysInJods could be Hun!

@LondonKez welcome lovely xxx

@MrsC87 couldn't help but giggle xxx

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 21:09

Me too on the ante natal thread!

I'm based on Wales @mrsof20118

LondonKez · 29/08/2018 21:05

Hello all!

Can I join?! I've not been hugely active on here yet, but we haven't told anyone we're trying so would be great to have other people to talk to going through the same thing.

I'm 32, engaged and came off the pill at the end of November. We're on cycle 9/10, although only actively tracking cycles and timing for the last 4/5 months.

Good luck all x

MrsC87 · 29/08/2018 21:05

I was with you on the giggling 😂 so bad but it made my night 🙈 @Delilah7
I'm from Worcestershire 😊

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 21:04

Feeling the positivity 👏🏼

I've had some very light pink spotting this eve. Literally a few dots on TP, only on 1 wipe. According to OPKs between 10-12dpo with AF due on Friday... could this be implantation bleeding or is it too late?

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 21:03

@MrsC87 did have a little giggle to myself but did look painful! 😂

MrsC87 · 29/08/2018 20:59

I've just watched that too @Delilah7
Wasn't pleasant lol! 🤣

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 20:56

Suffolk 😌

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 20:56

@CrystalBlaze he teared up by the looks of it, was comical 😂

mrsof20118 · 29/08/2018 20:56

@Lov3Rosie hope you get some positive news soon

Where abouts is everyone based?

CrystalBlaze · 29/08/2018 20:55

Hahahaha @Delilah7! You are living the dream. Bet the man took it well Wink

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 20:50

@CrystalBlaze I'm with you darling. In bed watching GPS behind closed doors. Just watched a vasectomy! made me smile after everything us women go through!!!

CrystalBlaze · 29/08/2018 20:47

Just catching up you lovely gang. Dibs on being in the antenatal thread!

I am lying in bed already. Absolutely shattered today.

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 20:20

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 20:15

@Bettyhop I agree.

Keep this going as long as possible with everyone in it who's in it now and more. Can share our journeys before during and after.

Cmon girls. Let's stay positive. A bad day isn't a bad life ❤️ love to you all xxxx
