TWW - testing 4th September

OMG yes I can see it!! @Blossomingflower94 try a FRER as they're much more sensitive xxx

Hey I'm just waiting for my ovulation sticks to get darker, Flo predicts it to be around Tuesday so hoping it gets darker in the next few days xx

Hey @Blossomingflower94 it's still early days, at least you can have a drink and you're coming to the end of the TWW now which is better, keep busy and it'll fly by xxx

A very BFN on pregnancy test, I'm now testing with OPK's so I can track ovulation should I get pregnant this month and it'll help with dating. If I do come on my period in a few weeks that's also fine but I think it's good for my healing of what's happened if we just keep trying x

Good luck for testing @Blossomingflower94 I'm going to start the OPK tests this weekend, I think it'll be more like next weekend I start ovulating.
My boobs are always sore before AF, it's so unfair that AF symptoms are so similar to early pregnancy! Xx

Aww @Raizelrea sounds like you've really been through it the last few weeks, hope things start to calm down for you x it's good to track ovulation as it's just beneficial to know it. I think I'll start trying again this weekend, I'll ovulate next week according to the Flo app so I'll use internet cheapies just to see how accurate it is. They recommend I have another period before I try again but I might not even catch this month, I'll feel much happier trying again as I feel empty at the moment I've really struggled this week. Xx

Hi ladies! I'm knackered, got back Wednesday around midnight (suppose technically it was Thursday already), went to work where we had an all staff meeting that heavily hinted at redundancies in the future, then went to the hospice to see OH's grandad who has deteriorated while we've been away. I just want to sleep for several days!

I did start doing CB OPKs yesterday morning again, figured it would be a good distraction at least. Not sure if we'll necessarily DTD around the "right" days but can't hurt to have some extra data about my cycles.

@AliSxo Sorry to hear your news, you seem to have a good way of looking at it though! Definitely good that no surgery was needed and that you can make a fresh start relatively soon. Sending virtual hugs!

@Blossomingflower94 Really hope that's not a UTI (if anything because I hate them). Fingers crossed, sounded like you did all you could this month. Halfway through the TWW! When are you testing?

Thanks @Blossomingflower94 I agree it just wasn't the right time xx random cramping might be implantation it's not a terrible sign, wouldn't it be great if we just knew straight away and didn't have this TWW?! Aww I bet you can't wait to tell them at work so you can be on the desk, really hope this is your month! Xxxx

Hey @Blossomingflower94 they didn't refer me as I was only 5 weeks and I described to them that I'd had a heavy period, they did a test with my urine it was an IC that confirmed I wasn't pregnant. I'm glad I wasn't referred in a way, it would of been quite intrusive, I want to start retort again in a few days, they advise you should wait until you have a period but I'll see how I feel.
Good luck for your test 5DPO is so early but I know I'll be back in the TWW before I know it. Fingers crossed for you lovely xxxxx

So sorry to hear that @AliSxo it's good they will see you at the early pregnancy unit to give you some answers. Thank you for your kind words, means a lot as I know you have a lot on your plate!

I'm at my parents' house for a few days now, good to be with family though bone of us our quite ourselves. Feeling very grateful for my OH coming with me (he doesn't speak the language and obviously the circumstances are bot the best). Not sure if we will really TTC this month we'll just see how it goes but we have each other.

@Blossomingflower94 Hope you are enjoying the time off and making the most of your fertile window - don't feel like you can't share that as I'm loving any good news now! We're going to see my friend and her two week old baby tonorrow which I'm very excited for. Hope you get happy news this month, fingers crossed for you.

Hi ladies, I'm pretty sure I've had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. I had some bleeding on Tuesday, saw the dr who said it's common but it got slowly worse and today it was red blood with small clots. Today I went back and I did a pregnancy test and the line was fainter then it was the other day. The bleeding is less now so I think whatever's happened it's done, I've got to go back to the doctors on Tuesday and she'll refer me to an early pregnancy unit, couldn't be done today as I'm not 6 weeks yet. My boobs weren't as sore yesterday as they have been so it's all adding up I'm no longer pregnant. Sorry to hear about your grandmother @Raizelrea here for you xxxxxxxx

Thank you x

That is brilliant timing, I hope you guys catch on this month! Good luck!

Sorry for going MIA it's been a rough couple of days. My grandma passed away on Tuesday, OH's grandad is in hospital still and improving but still terminal unfortunately. I'm just drained to be honest, having a bit of a tough time juggling it all with work and of course I had to attempt to be perky at the job interview. Not the best week and the next one probably won't be much better TBH.

TTC-wise I don't think I'll track anything this month we'll just have sex if and when we fancy as it's the last thing on my mind at the minute. I don't know if I'll have much time to check back here in the next few weeks but hopefully I'll be in a better mindset when I'm back!
