Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

@Lemonysherbet not yet! You know when you just have that feeling? Day late but also BFN checked lots of times so just waiting for the inevitable

GalaxyGirl24 · 17/09/2019 14:05

@Lemonysherbet really sorry to hear about your MC ❤️

GalaxyGirl24 · 17/09/2019 14:04

@Lemonysherbet yes same, every single feeling I get now i find myself googling as to whether it's a very early PG symptom! 😖 x

@Anny27 I hope you get a BFP too! My boobs are a bit sore also but then again it seems to be a normal symptom leading up to AF for me. I stupidly did a test today only like 5/6 DPO which was BFN and I know it may not be accurate, and I shouldn't have done it but just couldn't help myself! It really knocks you to see BFN repeatedly though x

Lemonysherbet · 17/09/2019 14:02

Oh yes I should have said I'm 31 TTC no.1 and this is our third cycle. Cycle 1 was back in march and then we had a break and started again last month. I got a bfp when AF was due but sadly lost it a week later.

@anny27 I think it's wishful thinking from my heart, last month I had the most sensitive boobs and erect nips (😂) before I got my BFP but they're not really doing much this month! So I'm guessing it's just af symptoms gearing up and I'm reading too much into them. I go on holiday Sunday so if things ramp up I'll buy a test to take with me as AF is due then, otherwise I'll just ride it out

Anny27 · 17/09/2019 13:46

Welcome @GalaxyGirl24 :)
Yep the TWW is the worst :(

We are on cycle 4 and i am 27. Also in thw TWW (9dpo today!)

Hoping you get your bfp soon :)

Heres hoping its PG @lemonysherbet! My boobs are a little sore but not too much. Hoping I manage to avoid early testing :S

Lemonysherbet · 17/09/2019 12:06

Welcome @galaxygirl24

The tww is super frustrating, I'm a sucker for over analysing everything that my body decides to do which doesn't help me. I feel sick and have back ache today, my heart says pregnant, my mind says I'm hungry and have back ache 😂

How you doing @absa , did she rear her ugly head?

GalaxyGirl24 · 17/09/2019 11:25

Hi

Just joining this post, hope that’s okay _

Stats:

TTC baby no 1
Cycle 6, currently day 20
26 yrs old, husband 28
Stopped the Microgynon pill after 10 years of use 6months ago

Getting so frustrated with the process and the 2ww every month is awful, currently I have some back pain and some sensations in lower pelvic area, but could just be AF.
Was 5 days late last month, convinced I was PG (was on honeymoon) but then came on the day we flew home - was devastated.

Absa · 16/09/2019 21:18

FFS hurry up AF & put me out my misery.... I know you're lurking! Can just tell she's going to arrive any hour, just get it over with pleassssee!

Lemonysherbet · 16/09/2019 21:12

I'm crampy and irritable. In fact I've been a right cow today!! 8dpo, poor DH, it's gonna be a long week until AF appears 😂😂😂

ValidUser · 16/09/2019 20:13

@Anny27 I'll test in about 3 days because I want to start progesterone ASAP.

I've had 2 chemicals, so no longer seeing it as unlikely. Here's hoping baby sticks this time.

Anny27 · 16/09/2019 19:36

When will you test @ValidUser? I am 8dpo today - not tested yet haha. Not having any symptoms atall so gonna try hold out

ValidUser · 16/09/2019 19:35

Picked up my progesterone today.

6-7 dpo and haven't tested yet. How unlike me! 😂

Kiza · 16/09/2019 15:56

@MotherOfShihTzus I've had about 6 Accupuncture sessions and going to continue for as long as I can afford it. Unfortunately I don't always relax as I'm petrified of needles, however I can definitely say that it's made my cycles more regular as I was all over the place and for the last 3 months have been standard 28 days with ovulation on cd 14...
hope you manage to find it relaxing as like @MrsH497 most people find it lovely and relaxing

MrsH497 · 16/09/2019 12:22

@Anny27 I not doing too badly thank you lovely very tired! X

Anny27 · 16/09/2019 12:05

Sorry that AF is coming @motherofshihtzus :(

@MrsH497 hope you are feeling well lovely! X

MrsH497 · 16/09/2019 11:35

@MotherOfShihTzus I had 3 sessions of acupuncture although it didn't necessarily help me conceive it was so relaxing

MotherOfShihTzus · 16/09/2019 10:36

AF due today and had a temp dip this morning so fully expecting it. BFNs over the weekend and felt super low. However, I'm heading for my first acupuncture session tonight; anyone tried this?

How was everyone's weekend?

Anny27 · 16/09/2019 08:45

Hows everyone feeling today?

8dpo today, no real symptoms apart from cramping a few days ago and slightly sore boobs (but thats kinda normal for me before AF) so not sure what to think

Lemonysherbet · 15/09/2019 20:38

@anny27 maybe there's something in the air 😂 I'm in a crap mood now

Anny27 · 15/09/2019 20:27

@Lemonysherbet same!!!! Usually i am like this a day before AF but today i have cried a few times and i feel very moody haha. Not saying its a symptom or not as i am usually one to cry at soppy adverts and such but this seems more than usual

@redmarchingband i have heard of it but havent read it so cant recommend. Let us know if you get it :)

Redmarchingband · 15/09/2019 20:21

I see a lot of people recommending books eg. Taking charge of your fertility etc - are they worth reading or not?

Lemonysherbet · 15/09/2019 19:57

Still a week until AF and I just burst into tears over nothing... Poor DH 😂

Anny27 · 15/09/2019 10:41

@absa its all an unknown isnt it 😂

Absa · 15/09/2019 08:45

@Anny27
I thought I was having symptoms Monday to Friday last week - what felt like REALLY intense O pain my lower left side. But that has now gone away and nothing at all the last few days. So I really don't know because that could have been AF getting ready.

Anny27 · 15/09/2019 08:39

Fingers crossed for you @absa

Are you having any symptoms?

7dpo today so only 1 week away from testing for me 🤞 i have followed your advice @lemonysherbet and havent got any tests in the house apart from a clearblue digital anf theres no way i am wasting that on early testing haha
