Hi fellow ttc-ers.

I’m 9dpo on cycle 8 of ttc baby #2.

No real symptoms at all. A few cramps, I’m hungry and generally I’m just in an absolutely foul mood.

Anyone want to join me on route to test day at the end of the week?

@sidewaysS you are bound to feel nervous. Just need to stay positive. All good signs!

Well I’ve had terrible cramps all day and PMS - was v emotional earlier because I had to drop hubby off at the footy ( even though I do this every week😂) bless him- very apologetic. At least he knows he has to stay on my good side when I’m in that mood😂

It’s frustrating that AF isn’t here. I’m just sick of waiting now. I know what’s going to happen... no AF still in the morning, I’ll test and BFN and then AF will turn up😡

@May2311 I get that hun, do what's right for you, hope you have something nice to do to day and keep your mind off things!

I'm doing ok thanks, still no AF, but not due till Monday, boobs are still huge and no other af signs, I just feel anxious because I had a previous chemical and I feel the same as I did before I found out about that and I'm just scared to be honest! Will test tommorow or Monday x

May2311 · 24/08/2019 09:12

@Lifesforlivingandloving thanks 😊 Defo will let you know! At least we have a nice sunny day today to keep us occupied!

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:58

@May2311
Your not being silly at all x your listening to your gut feeling and that's the right thing to do x
Like you say if it's a BFN then you'll be disappointed but it could be in fact like you said too early to detect a positive so your doing the right thing by holding out another day x
Please let us know. ! X

May2311 · 24/08/2019 08:52

So I totally know how silly I am being but I’m not testing today. My rationale is this.....

Shorter LP and I’m thinking the awful pains I had Thursday night perhaps were implantation( this is me hoping) so hcg levels won’t be that high yet.

I am getting what i would say is AF cramps!

Hubby made a valid point- if it’s negative will that stop you fretting? and it’s a no as really until AF comes I won’t stop fretting.

So we decided to test tomorrow if no AF!

@Chefwifelife Lots of wine is needed!!

@sidewaysS how are you?

@Lifesforlivingandloving so I haven’t been moody at all!! But then I’ve got a long weekend off work so perhaps that’s it🙈

I will let you all know how I get on today/tomorrow. I just don’t dare hope that this is it😬

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:49

@sofiathe2nd
Thank you so much

When is AF due? X

sofiathe2nd · 24/08/2019 08:48

@Lifesforlivingandloving yay massive congratulations, such a clear BFP Smile

Still waiting for AF to show buy almost no doubt she will now, just want to get on with it and get back to trying this month

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:32

@sidewaysS

Thank you so much x 😘

sidewaysS · 24/08/2019 08:30

Morning ladies!!!

@Chefwifelife sorry to hear you are out, hope you had some wine last night 😉

@Lifesforlivingandloving congratulations such lovely news!!!!!

@May2311 TEST!!!

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:19

@Chefwifelife
Thank you . You've made me feel more confident x I feel so blessed

@May2311

I had cramps last night so thought oh here comes AF
Symptoms wise I've been a right moody cow. I've been irritable and snappy lol -feel so sorry for others around me
And I've had some slight nausea but nothing much plus I've had heartburn quite a bit. I suffer with my stomach problems though so I thought it might of been linked to that x

I'm still scared to go toilet though and see AF x
I'm not sure what day I ovulated as the predictions my app gave me we DTD every day in that window but the cheap ovulation strips were negative . Then I randomly did a strip a week later and it was positive so we DTD then too x

Chefwifelife · 24/08/2019 08:11

life there’s no denying those lines you lucky lady! Absolutely fab news. Hopefully you’ll get the ball rolling on this thread.

may I demand you get your bottom out of bed and poas! If it’s negative the wait will be over Ann see can handhold through af.

I’m a bit more gutted today. Full on af. But heyho. Nowt else I can do. I’m literally doing everything I can to conceive. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Lifesforlivingandloving I might ask hubby what he thinks😂 it’s hard as AF feels like she is coming. Did you have any symptoms? Or anything different to usual? When did you ovulate? I have a short LP so really even today will only be 13DPO(even possibly 12 if I didn’t ovulate the day after my +OPK)

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:04

@May2311

Awwww thank you so much ! Means a lot!

I hope and pray you get the same result when you test! I really do x

Please let us know! X

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:03

@May2311
I've just attached 2 pics just before your reply x

It's natural to feel scared and on edge... last night I must of woken up 30 times I was so unsettled knowing the test was imminent .
So as soon as 7.30 came I thought sod it im getting up so I know one way or another lol
I was petrified
AF was due yesterday or today x
Still worried she's going to show up !

Are you definitely going to test today? Xxxx

May2311 · 24/08/2019 08:02

@Lifesforlivingandloving sorry it took me so long to post I missed you had already posted photo haha!

That is a winner!!!!! Lovely line. I’m so so pleased for you 🙌

May2311 · 24/08/2019 08:00

Morning everyone,

@chefwifelife- how you feeling? You are not a muppet! We all think random crazy things when we want something so badly!

@Lifesforlivingandloving OMG that’s fab!!! Have you got a pic? How many DPO are you? And when is AF due?

@sofiathe2nd when is AF due? Do you usually get spotting?

So I’m currently lying in bed. I’ve not tested yet as I really don’t want a BFN😬 No AF yet( I was due yesterday) but I have been having cramps so it’s frustrating me because I just want it to arrive if it is coming! So can’t decide whether to just wait it out 😔 I need to decide soon as my bladder is gonna pop😂

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 07:57

@Chefwifelife how you doing?
When are you testing?
X

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 07:56

Here's the pic. Let me know what you guys think please Smile. My hearts literally pounding right now x

Morning team

Sofia has the spotting amounted to anything?

May how you doing?

Life that’s awesome news. Pop a pic up. If it’s got colour and your af is late then I think you’re on to a winner Flowers

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 07:36

Hi all,.. how we doing ?
I've just done a test and I have a faint second line! I'm still not convinced as I feel AF could be on her way . Maybe I'm just in shock .
What are the chances of a false positive? X

sofiathe2nd · 23/08/2019 19:32

@Chefwifelife I’m that muppet too :( cramps and spotting today but still convincing myself it’s not real AF

Chefwifelife · 23/08/2019 12:50

I’m trying not to be that muppet that thinks maybe it’s just a fake af and I’ll get a bfp tomorrow 😂

OP posts:
May2311 · 23/08/2019 12:46

@Chefwifelife a bloody annoying😡 my cramps are bad and it’s annoying me that it’s not just starting! The waiting is the annoying bit. If I end up wasting a test in the morning I’ll be furious 😂

Lifesforlivingandloving · 23/08/2019 12:19

@Chefwifelife

Sorry to hear that . Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for the next cycle for you x

Chefwifelife · 23/08/2019 11:48

Right ladies. I’m the first to put my hand up 🙋🏼‍♀️ and say i think I’m out. AF looks to have arrived 🖕🏻
