I got another flashing smiley. That's day 10. And cd 22. Af due on 26th. Should I stop testing incase I have missed the surge?

hopeful31 · 14/03/2019 20:29

@Anon93 I suppose so. Try to take it easy. I'm sure it's all fine.

Thank you. I have a good feeling this month. Although I'm consciously trying to be optimistic lol

Anon93 · 14/03/2019 19:56

@hopeful31 it’s too early at the moment as they might not see a heartbeat even if everything is okay so holding out until end of next week and hopefully they will see me the week after (week 7) 🤞🏼 Really hope this is your month!!

hopeful31 · 14/03/2019 19:30

@Anon93 have u booked in for an early scan. Hope it's all ok.
I'm on day 9 of flashing smileys so should ovulate soon. Cd21 now so it's really late x

Anon93 · 14/03/2019 18:35

Hey ladies still thinking of you all! Hoping you all get your BFP’s in the next few weeks 💗 I’m five weeks pregnant now but I’ve been having some bleeding and cramps, trying to keep optimistic and hopefully will get an early scan soon to see what’s going on!

ImMeantToBeWorking · 13/03/2019 13:02

@Lammoshay, we are all here for you to vent too.

DP and myself are going on a cruise at the end of April, as it is about 7 weeks away now only, I suggested to him last night that we don't try for the next month, just so that I am not very newly pregnant as I am a worrier and I don't think it would be good for me or baby if all I am thinking about is what I am eating/drinking/doing while on holidays. So I am out for my next cycle, then my fertile window of the following cycle is the week before we go on holidays, so possibly out for that cycle too, ah well! At least I can keep temping and see does it regulate at all.

I was back in the hosp this morning with my broken toe, and I have to have my boot on for another two weeks, then back for a third xray. Totally fed up of life at the min! Thankfully it is a long weekend this weekend, and himself owes me a spa day so might call that in for the following weekend just for something to look forward too.

Hopefully we will all get our positives soon 🤞feeling so down today about it but trying to not let it take over

ImMeantToBeWorking · 12/03/2019 14:42

@Lammoshay, so sorry to hear, catching up on the posts I thought I was coming to congratulate you. At least there is a few of us to move into the next month wit.

AF due in 3 days and I have had a BFN and I don't think I am pregnant anyway, although I had my MC two years ago I didn't even know I was preggers but this time I am looking for it it makes it so much harder doesn't it?

My friend is currently overdue on a one night stand baby, it kills me that she got preggers so easy and here is all of us trying so hard!

On to next month!

Lammoshay · 12/03/2019 11:29

AF came this morning :(

Lammoshay · 12/03/2019 00:27

Sorry to hear that @mumstheword 💐
There is nothing I can say that will help as I know that feeling to well. 😢

Thankyou @shewhojuggles ❤️ Virtual hugs always welcome x

@anon93 yep I’ve been ok up till now, I think my hormones are up anyway as AF is on her way so makes me feel a bit more down than usual.

OP posts:
Anon93 · 11/03/2019 10:45

@Lammoshay I never realised how hard it was TTC and the pain of seeing a BFN, we’ve all either been there or going through it and we are all here for you ❤️

MumsTheWord92 · 11/03/2019 10:35

Feeling your pain @Lammoshay 😭 was so convinced I was showing signs but nope, the bitch is now here. So gutted :(

Shewhojuggles · 11/03/2019 07:30

Here for a hand hold and a squishy hug @lammoshay xxx

hopeful31 · 11/03/2019 06:14

@Lammoshay pm sent my lovely xxx

Lammoshay · 10/03/2019 22:54

Feeling really sad tonight ladies :(
I know AF is coming and this is the first mum I’m absolutely gutted!
Another friend has just announced her pregnancy (wasn’t planned), and I’m like for fuck sake!
Had a little cry before :(
I’m sure it will happen and I don’t even need any replies, and dunno even why I’m posting this but yeah TTC is so damn hard :(

OP posts:
Shewhojuggles · 10/03/2019 15:59

Everything crossed @mumstheword92 🤞🏼

Congratulations @readytotryforfirstbabx 🤗

I don’t stick with any of those superstitions @anon93 - you buy whatever you want and enjoy it xx We told people with my little boy before 12 weeks. We knew we would tell them if we’d had a loss so they could support us, and will probably do the same this time, although not before we’ve had a private scan at about 8.5 weeks.

MumsTheWord92 · 10/03/2019 01:50

So first day of my last period was 12th Feb. Not sure how long my cycle is as I only came off the pill early January. My last cycle was 35 days so I have been basing my ovulation/fertile times on that time frame this month. Last few days I have felt some cramps and my boobs have felt different, little bit of tenderness. Anyway I have just started having what I hope is implantation bleeding fingers crossed. I'm 26 days into my cycle now. Weird thing is last night I had a dream that I was pregnant too Shock planning on taking a test on Wednesday so fingers crossed for me then please everyone. So excited to find out if our daughter will be having a sibling Grin

Anon93 · 09/03/2019 20:24

@Lammoshay @bitheby thanks ladies you’ve made me feel less guilty ❤️

bitheby · 09/03/2019 19:01

I don't know anything much as I've just started ttc but this due date calculator allows you to put in either date of last period or your conception date.

www.pampers.co.uk/pregnancy/due-date-calculator

Lammoshay · 09/03/2019 18:40

Yes it is correct as it’s always from first date of last period.
Do you have long cycles? Did you not have a period between 20th jan and 25th Feb as that is 36 days, plus add on your 14 days after OV for period would out your cycle at 50day cycles?
Are you sure you haven’t had another period before jan as if you only tested today and got your bfp and other tests came back negative then you should have been caught in Feb not jan x

Sorry if I've posted in the wrong place x

Is this right? Please don't shoot me down if this is something obvious as this is all knew to me and I have no-one else to ask x Thanks in advance x
