Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

@Chembecky,that's fantastic!! 👍😀

@keyboard91, I didn't buy anything when I was pregnant, but did sooo much window shopping!! For a little while I actually avoided going on amazon because I knew all the baby stuff I'd been looking at was pop up. Anyway, have found myself having a browse at stuff this week, had to give myself a talking to!

Glad to know it's not just us who are unsuccessful at the Flip 😂

@MrsEG smart move!! I think I'll appreciate it even more once I'm more alert and less fidgety 😂 x

Ahh @Chembecky fx!! Keep us updated, definitely should show up on a FRER tomorrow x

Chembecky · 25/04/2019 19:33

@MrsEG thanks for your info....I'd post a pic but I put it in the bin...gah!🙈I did it in a bit of a rush this morning whilst still half asleep....! I might do an FRER in the morn....!!

MrsEG · 25/04/2019 19:28

@Chembecky As @Tropicana1 says if the IC has a line it should definitely show on a FRER by now, especially as AF is now also late! I say absolutely go for it!! If it puts your mind at ease I got a BFN at 12DPO, BFP at 13. If you’re now 16DPO i don’t think you’ll have any issues :) Tentative congrats and FX for your FRER!! Do you wanna post a pic of your IC?

Tropicana1 · 25/04/2019 19:23

@Chembecky ah how exciting! Get an FRER!! If it's showing up on a cheapie should be on an FRER surely?

Chembecky · 25/04/2019 19:18

@MrsEG i think I implanted late (did an FRER on Sun which was neg, AF was due Tues) so I just want to give it a couple of days to increase my hcg....plus my DH gets annoyed with the BFNs....So just want to be certain when I test!!

MrsEG · 25/04/2019 19:07

@Chembecky Oh wow!! Could you get a FRER to confirm it for you? Amazing news!

Chembecky · 25/04/2019 19:04

Hi all. Update from me....AF now late...have some symptoms....did an IC test this morning and got a feint positive....going to double check on sat with another test before telling DH...eek!

Jooloo11 · 25/04/2019 18:14

Hi @thumper59 how are you getting on? How far along are you now?

It's really interesting @FlapJackered what you say about your threat syringes - I hand been thinking of getting some as well. There are times when we've DTD so much more than we would normally do it in a non TTC situation that DH has struggled to finish, we've always soldiered on and succeeded in the end but can both end up a bit fed up and exhausted at the end! I've read about some people who have done similar with syringes with success, so night give that a go next cycle if neither of us are in the DTD mood. I wouldn't have considered it a few months ago but now that I've hit the 6 month mark I couldn't care less how I get pregnant, just that I do get pregnant!!

I'm mid 2ww now.... Nothing to report, just boredom, counting down the days! I feel like I need to adopt a hobby to take my mind off it sometimes!

Marleym28 · 25/04/2019 17:24

@FlapJackered ypur comments makes me real life lol, I'm so glad I was on my own otherwise I'd have had to explain my outburst haha
I'm in the same boat, I feel like Ive gone from every now and again to all the time.

So much so it's at a point where DH is finding it difficult.
I know it's at its peak yest/today so really want to make sure we do it but equally when it's not happening I've noticed I'm getting down in the dumps as it's such a small window

Why is this so difficult lol

MrsEG · 25/04/2019 17:19

This thread is moving so fast at the mo! I’m hoping this will be leading to a flood of BFPs over the next few weeks :)

@cupcakesandglitter We’ve already booked to go and see it again on Saturday too!! Should need less Red Bull this time!!

@Hannah192 re: CM, I also got ‘the damp’ with my BFP but at the same time I also get increased CM before AF so it’s a tricky one! FX for you.

@dahlia123 So sorry to hear AF has arrived. Hope you’ll be enjoying a vino this weekend and ready yourself for the next cycle!

Had an interesting day today; was off work so my sister invited me to playgroup with her one year old. There were so many babies there! Usually I find that type of scenario really hard especially after the MC but I actually really enjoyed it! All the mums were lovely and the babies were adorable. I honestly think it’s the first time I’ve sat there and just really thought ‘this WILL be me soon!’

Keyboard91 · 25/04/2019 17:13

@Hannah192 also on the not to give false hope but when I got my first bfp I can remember a lot of dampness in the days before my bfp ... BUT increase in discharge can be linked to AF because on hormonal changes ... but 🤞

@Tropicana1 I’d hoped that being at work would help but nope! I even checked my breasts when I went to the loo as there is a mirror in there 🤦‍♀️ I have issues! I’m also getting SUPER annoyed at the fact my trousers are tight in the waistband from bloat. Like, I must look like I cleared out ASDA of Easter eggs over the holidays and ate them all 😂😭😂

@Fivebyfive2 When we started TTC it was announced our local mothercare was going to close down and there was a sale on ... we actually went and got a few bits before we even got the bfp! Then, we got the bfp on a Friday, on the Sunday I dragged DP back to see what bargains we could get... I have a collection of things under the bed (neutral etc) as the prices were great! A whole steriliser starter set, advent (I won’t be able to BF) with electric steriliser, 8 bottles, dummies, insulating bag and bottle warmer and all sorts was 70% off! How could I NOT get it! We went with the ‘it’s not going to go off or anything, so may as well save some money’ mentality. It was hard when we MC as I had imagined a baby in the clothes, so for a few days I really resented it, BUT I find it therapeutic now because when we do finally bring home a baby (somehow or another) then it’ll be a reminder of the sibling that they/we never got to meet ❤️

starkid · 25/04/2019 17:07

@dahlia123 - sorry for the bfn xx

daisiesandpeonies · 25/04/2019 17:03

It's CD 12 and feel weird about TTC this month now that I know I'm probably polycystic not ovulating.... But think I shouldn't 'waste' a month argh I don't know...

dahlia123 · 25/04/2019 15:43

And I'm out! Day one of cycle 5 for me then. Woke up feeling like it might be, and just confirmed.

Fingers crossed for anyone still in with a chance!

Tropicana1 · 25/04/2019 15:19

@Keyboard91 I have a lot of creamy CM today too! Also seem to be having a hormonal outbreak - usually have really good skin but the last few days I've been getting little outbreaks. Probably just all the crap I ate over Easter but I will persist with my symptom spotting haha

thumper59 · 25/04/2019 15:19

Afternoon ladies, hope your all well! I'm just marking my place again if you don't mind because I'm always checking back to see how you all are and for any more bfps! I can't let go of these threads! Fingers crossed and baby dust to you all 😚

Dollywilde · 25/04/2019 15:14

@hannah192 good to hear no spots, that’s got to be a good sign!

I’ve been to the loo to check for AF three times today, my colleague’s going to think I’ve got a stomach upset or something Grin my cycle varies from 29 - 32 days and today is day 30 so could be whenever I guess.

Why do AF symptoms have to be similar to PG symptoms Angry

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 14:54

@Fivebyfive2 ahh ok thank you. I think after looking on google I’d lost hope for this cycle but at least it sounds like there’s still a chance 🤞🏼
I’m exactly the same!! I think when I was on my second cycle ttc I literally made a wish list of all that I wanted 😂 I’ve deleted that list now so I can actually enjoy it when it happens 🙄
Enjoy avengers on Saturday!

Fivebyfive2 · 25/04/2019 14:31

@Hannah192,not to give false hope, but I got loads of, why I called 'the damp' in the days leading up to af being due, the cycle I got my bfp... However, apparently it is not one of the more common signs. Fingers crossed for you though!!

We're seeing Avengers Saturday night, as promised my bro and his gf we'd all go together. So excited!!

OK, I've officially lost it, I'm looking at baby stuff! Need to step away from the Internet!!

Xxx

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 14:12

@cupcakesandglitter thank you!!!

Sorry if tmi.. if your cm increases just before AF is due, does this mean it’s more likely she’s on her way than being pregs? Because mine has 🙈 I looked on google and that says yes, so I think that’s a sign I’m getting AF 😔

cupcakesandglitter · 25/04/2019 14:07

@FlapJackered fingers crossed it will!! And then mini Flap (hahahahahahahhaha) can have a rest 😂 I'm CD22, not having sex with DH until next cycle which is proving to be extremely difficult!! Also definitely watch Avengers Infinity War before hand so you're all caught up xx

@Hannah192 enjoy every second!!!!!!!! Xx

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 13:52

@Dollywilde ooo exciting! Fx for us both! Although, I’ve just had a little bit of cramping... so I’m worried AF is going to show early 😩 I have noticed I’m usually spotty on my chin when she’s on her way and I don’t have that yet... I think I’m just kidding myself 😂

@cupcakesandglitter ahhh that makes me so excited!!! I watched the previous one at the weekend for a refresh! Cannot wait! I’m sure we will be going at least twice 🙊

FlapJackered · 25/04/2019 13:50

@cupcakesandglitter that's the plan! Really hoping my temp goes up tomorrow though. 🙈 what cd are you on now?
DH wants me to go to Avengers with him, are there any of the films I need to see before I go? I haven't seen many of the marvel films, but DH wants me to go with him.

@KatBeCool hurrah for the temp rise!! Your DH needs to get used to it for when you get pregnant!

cupcakesandglitter · 25/04/2019 12:11

@MrsEG @KatBeCool @Hannah192 We went to the double bill of Avengers last night ooooooooh my god you'll love it!!! Another crier here too, was so flipping amazing we're going again 😂😂😂

@Keyboard91 I've got fuller boobs too, and sore nipples. I know it's easier said than done but try not to feel to anxious about it, only six days to go until you find out xxx

@FlapJackered I remember this from last time 😂😂😂 poor DHs willy! Are you going to do it every day until a temp rise? Xx

@KatBeCool woooo glad you got your temp rise!!! DH will just have to treat you extra nicely 😂😂 xx
