Congratulations @LokiCat that's so exciting 💐

Lozzlepop · 12/08/2019 09:13

Morning ladies,

@cupcakesandglitter thats great you are keeping well and not had much nausea 😊 yeah the anxiety is on another level, I found the wait not so bad (the first time) but after experiencing the loss I know that I will be so much more anxious the next time! I hope you are doing ok ❤️

@whatsthecraic91heres hoping! I think they will hopefully be able to sort the roof issue but not sure if it will be another call to the house builder to sort the internal stuff! Good on DP being on board for SMEP 👌🏻

@LokiCat ahhhhhh massive congratulations ❤️what amazing news for a Monday!! So so happy for you, how are you feeling?

How is everyone doing today? I11DPO, have woken up feeling very queasy today 🤢

MrsH497 · 12/08/2019 09:05

@LokiCat that's what's confused me going from a 29/28 day cycle and normal LP

Well (TMI) tampon was mainly brown some red so not full period at all for me. No cramps either I'm so confused!

Lottiepink · 12/08/2019 08:36

@LokiCat amazing news to see this morning, hope it's a sticky one for you 😊

@LokiCat OMG yes!! So sorry! It was supposed to be 🤗

LokiCat · 12/08/2019 08:25

@MrsH497 thank you! I'm sorry I missed your previous message. It is strange that your LP has suddenly shortened. Are you still spotting this morning? Our bodies can be so frustrating..

@whatsthecraic91 thank you! How sweet that your DP is eager to get back into SMEP as well. I hope this cycle is the one, enjoy starting again today 

@Sunshine8888 Thank you! It has definitely brightened up this gloomy Monday. The only reason I tested today was because my temp had spiked quite a bit after the dip yesterday. It is better to wait after AF is late, as you can be 100% sure then. The waiting does make you go crazy though! Fx you get your positive!

@Anny27 thank youu! Haha yeah! I went into paperchase this morning to get some inspiration on how to tell DH but couldn't find anything. I'm wondering whether not to make a big deal about it this time because of our mc previously. I'll probably just put the stick in his face when he gets home from work 😂
Glad SMEP has gone well, sounds like you've been covering all your bases! Did you get a peak this morning?

@Lemonysherbet thank you! I'm trying not too get to excited, but I definitely can't stop smiling. Should probably stop before my colleagues start getting creeped out 😂
You're 11dpo as well, right? When do you think you'll be testing?

@Makingawish thanks! (I'm assuming that emoji was an accident... 👀)

Makingawish · 12/08/2019 08:18

Huge congratulations @LokiCat 🙄

Lemonysherbet · 12/08/2019 07:59

What great news to wake up to @LokiCat huge congratulations to you! Bet you're on cloud 9 this morning

Anny27 · 12/08/2019 07:56

@LokiCat ahhh i am soo happy for you lovely :D those sore boobs were definitley a sign!! How do you plan to tell DH? Xxx

Sunshine8888 · 12/08/2019 07:45

@LokiCatI’m 11DPO today too but can’t bring myself to test! I just don’t feel like it’s happened for me this month. Just going to try and wait it out but I am going a bit crazy

Sunshine8888 · 12/08/2019 07:36

Huge congrats @LokiCat that is a lovely way to start the week! X

whatsthecraic91 · 12/08/2019 07:11

@LokiCat yay!!! Congratulations!😊

MrsH497 · 12/08/2019 07:03

@LokiCat huge congratulations x

LokiCat · 12/08/2019 07:00

Morning ladies! My temp spiked this morning, so I decided to do a test on an IC. The line started coming up before it was even dry, so I ran to get a FRER. The FRER line is faint and looks colourless in the photo, but it's definitely pink. DH left for work just as I was testing on the IC so I haven't told him yet. Was just sitting on the toilet seat crying to myself 😂
I'm so shocked! Last time I didn't get a BFP till 13dpo and the IC was so faint.. I'm hoping this is a good sign!!
I'm trying not to get too excited, especially as last time it was such an early mc.
Will do another test on Wednesday to see if the FRER is darker. Just really hope this is a sticky one!

I hope it's okay if I can hang around? You ladies have been so supportive and I couldn't wait to share with you this morning (I took so many photos to try and get the best one 😂). 💕

@Lozzlepop hopefully it’s a quick fix on Tuesday 🤞🏼 No this has never happened before usually when AF starts that’s it no messing about! She’s gone now so DP is keen to start our SMEP tomorrow which will only be CD4 he wants to cover all bases 😂 I’m not saying no 🙈

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 21:43

@cupcakesandglitter @Lozzlepop thanks ladies 😘

cupcakesandglitter · 11/08/2019 21:35

@MrsH497 try not to worry yourself too much (easier said than done I know!!) but it could just have been an anovulatory cycle which is totally normal xx

Fine Thankyou @Lozzlepop @LokiCat I've had nothing so far really other than a little bit of nausea and having to have a nap every day, but feeling good and tbh not pregnant at all! I thought the hard part was TTC but honestly this wait is so much worse, I'm more anxious than I've ever been! After over a year I thought I'd be more prepared for this but after mcs and cps it's completely new! X

Lozzlepop · 11/08/2019 21:34

@Anny27 the plan is to start trying again next cycle! AF due Friday so just need her to come then we can get in with it!

@MrsH497 sorry to hear AF is being a Bitch! Be kind to yourself, have some chocolate and chill! I hope you feel better tomorrow ❤️

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 21:29

@Lozzlepop I'm ok not been the most cheerful person to be around! Realistically it's probably AF just behaving weirdly!!
I've not filled a tampon at all today and it's mainly brown with some red.

I'll get there just a bad day!

Lozzlepop · 11/08/2019 21:05

OMG when you write a huge message and it all gets deleted 🙈

@Jessikka congratulations on your BFP that’s amazing news! How are you feeling?

@cupcakesandglitter that’s fantastic, how have you been keeping? ❤️

@MrsH497 how are you doing? Are you still spotting?

@whatsthecraic91 No unfortunately it’s still leaking, they are coming out on Tuesday so hopefully they can resolve it then 🤞🏻 That’s annoying, has your cycle ever done this before?

@LokiCat sounds like you’ve have a fab day! I’m 10DPO too ☺️ a lot of cycle buddies! Someone is coming out on Tuesday so fingers crossed they fix the issue 🤞🏻 Lunch was lovely and deffo deserved ☺️ Feeling very snoozy this weekend!

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 21:02

Thanks @ELW85. Mainly brown some red but not at any point anywhere near filled a tampon (sorry tmi!!) today. I think realistically it's AF. Worried about the short cycle and luteal phase

Anny27 · 11/08/2019 20:59

@Lottiepink judging from the ladies on here who have had their BFPs, i think AF cramps and symptoms and early pregnancy ones are very similar so you arent out till AF arrives :D

@lozzlepop do you plan to starr trying again next cycle or still going to take some time off?

@LokiCat symptoms sounds promissing so let's hope its an implantation dip 🤞🤞🤞 SMEP is going well! Think we will get our peak tomorrow and DTD this morning so that will mean 4 days in a row if we follow the plan completley.....haha! We'll see how that works out 😂😂

Hope you're all having a good Sunday :)

ELW85 · 11/08/2019 19:08

@Lottiepink - ooh! How long until your hols? How exciting!

@MrsH497 - my implantation bleed was brown and v light spotting that lasted roughly 2.5 days, if that helps?
I’m sorry your cycle is being weird and you’re feeling a bit down. Be kind to yourself x

@LokiCat - thank you my lovely, I will definitely start my research and then ask for tips :)
This weekend has gone waaaay too quickly. We’ve just had a chippy tea though so at least we’re going out on a high 😂

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 19:06

Thanks @whatsthecraic91 just makes each month harder. Really struggling with my emotions

whatsthecraic91 · 11/08/2019 17:48

@MrsH497 so sorry about your miscarriage Flowers

It’s so frustrating every cycle you think this is it & then AF comes and ruins your life!
