TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

@claireb707 hahaha I'm with you there. I just say period (or mainly 'come on') IRL just prefer to type out AF for ease on here 😂🙈

Sorry I just can't bring myself to call it AF, I never have

Stay away period vibes for all!!

@Lizziedu49 thanks babe, me and you both. Hope you've got a busy day to distract yourself! I have, so I just have to force myself to stay away from my phone 🤣🙈

@Gigi318 no signs of AF yet ☺️ CD 30 today and I have neverrrr had a cycle longer than 36 and that was when I very first came off the pill. Test day tomorrow 🤞🏻 hope it's a good month for you and I!!!!!

@Katie1109 morning babe, how are you?? That's okay chick, I'm feeling pretty positive still to be honest. No AF as of yet and no real sign of her either! Flo says AF due Wednesday, but could also be tomorrow as I'm CD28 today and cycles are usually 28-30 days. Thank you! I hope it is. You'd think so with it starting at 9DPO. So 🤞🏻
Exciting. Not long to wait now xx

@Lizziedu49 yay. Any signs of AF?

AF due today so will test tomorrow 🤞🏻

Good luck @claireb707 have a fab day x

That alarm was painful this morning! Did not want to wake up...
2dpo for me
Got my 1:1 with my manager today so intrigued how that's going to go now he know I've been offered the job
Got to sort that fraud stuff out from Friday
Hopefully bathroom will be finished today!
Got a repeat blood test for my thyroid stuff 😢 hate blood tests as my veins are pesky buggers and disappear

Morning ladies! How are we all??

I couldn't sleep (as you can probably tell). Needed a wee at 3am but tried my best to hold it. Caved at 5am and tested. BFN! Not even a squinter. But it's okay. Either this isn't meant to be our month, or perhaps this is IB and not high enough levels of hcg. AF didn't arrive in the night, so that's good. And no sign of her coming, either!

So now we wait. Let's see if today is day five of brown CM, nothing at all, or full-flow AF! Ladies, place your bets!

@Hewie30 thank you chick! Well, nothing exciting to report but I feel calmer having done the test. Even if AF arrives today I would have probably wondered if it was actually AF or anything else. So if I get a heavy bleed I know I'm CD1. Which I wouldn't be mad at now that I'm CD28!
How are you today? 4DPO woo!! 💖

@gigi318 Yeah it's not nice wearing a pad and knickers! You nice and comfy now? Eeeek roll on tomorrow, I'll be checking on here as soon as I wake up! 😍.
That's good that's it's cleared up a little bit!! Hopefully that'll be it and it'll go completely now!

@Makeafamily19 I have had it before, but not recently - until last month. And it threw me off. Obviously having it again now Thurs & Fri and again today. Seems to be more in the morning, still not a lot, then gone by evening. Although virtually nothing yesterday 🙄 time will tell! Have you looked into why we get it? So strange - and frustrating!

@Gigi318 I know I hate it! I feel like I'm out as soon as I see the brown stuff but then you get your hopes up as it could happen when you're PG as well 😫 I get it between 3-5 days beforehand. I saw on a few other threads that vitamin b complex can help, figured it couldn't hurt!

@Makeafamily19 oh goodness, don't talk to me about brown spotting 😂🙈 how many days before do you get it?? Oohh I didn't know that helped with it. Thank you for the tip! The 3rd sounds good. My number 🙌🏻 and it's a Sunday which is a nice day as you can spend the rest of it in a blur!! 💖

@Gigi318 depends if I get my usual pre AF brown spotting I think. I'm going to a funeral on the 4th as well so not sure. Might test on the 3rd if no spotting! I've been taking vitamin b complex to try and stop the spotting so that may give me false hope if it works!

@Hewie30 thank youuuuu! There's much less there again this evening. Barely noticeable so I've ditched the pad and knickers. I'm done with being uncomfortable and need my pyjamas 🤣🙈
Thank you so much! I hope so. I'm actually excited to do it now. Roll on the morning!
That sounds perfect, what a lovely thing to look forward to! We're the same - otherwise we run out of idea for Christmas and Birthdays. Which I'm sure you get with your Birthday being just over a week ago!! Fingers crossed 💖💖💖

@gigi318 That's good I'm glad your more at ease. Eeeek we shall!! I feel so positive for you. I'll carry the positivity for you 😊.
We're going out for dinner on Wednesday and that'll probably be it, we don't tend to get eachother pressies but we do get cards. I will do, hopefully it'll go back down!

@Makeafamily19 absolutely, especially after a few busy weekends it was well needed. Oh my goodness that would be great. Will you test on the 4th or earlier? I'm so excited for you 🥂

@Hewie30 exactly, I'm just trying to stay positive. Hopefully AF will stay away. Not long to wait! I hope so, I can't say I've ever noticed it before. We shall see before long! Yes, I'm not as terrified as I was last month. I guess because I know I just have to POAS at some point.
That's so exciting. Do you have any plans for your anniversary yet?? Yes definitely keep an eye as it will put your mind at rest 💖

@gigi318 Yeah for some people it's completely normal to have that, I'm glad it's put your mind more at ease ❤️. It really could be your month especially with the matalic taste too I've heard that's a early pregnancy symptom too!! The good thing is your calmer then last month, you've only got a few days to go and then you'll have more of an idea!
Ugh I'm hoping not!!! Premom rated it as 0.50 so not too high but now I'm concerned it's going to peak late again like last month. Well if I peak tomorrow or Tuesday I can definitely use our anniversary as a time for dtd I'm hoping it won't go back up but going to keep an eye on it

@Gigi318 sometimes you just need a weekend in to rest, glad you've had a good one.
Tomorrow should be 1DPO but I'll see if I get a temp spike in the morning to be sure! AF due 4th November so fingers crossed I can celebrate a BFP with some BF fireworks! 💥💥💥

@Makeafamily19 awww I hope so. It's been the oddest taste for about a day now. And I can't say I ever usually have odd tastes in my mouth 🤣🙈 yesss, I was just so worried about this bleeding but hopefully it will all be okay. Silly brown CM worrying me!
That's so lovely and yay to the static. How exciting! You've definitely covered it two days in a row. Hurrah! So is today 1DPO or tomorrow would you say??
Awww that's so lovely. What a nice weekend you've had! It has been lovely, yes!! We've been in most of the weekend and just relaxing and it's been just what I needed. Very slow, which I don't usually get to have 💖

@Hewie30 hopefully! Another lady said to me she has lots of heavy ready bleeding during her last PG and they put it down to IB and so I'm trying to take comfort in that. We shall see in just 12 hours time. So far, I feel much calmer than I did last month. We just have to hope that AF stays away. I don't feel like it's coming on - no real cramping or anything. So I hope that's a god thing 💖
Oh nooooo!! I hope not too. But do you think you can cover it, just in case?? What OPKs are you using?? Xx

@gigi318 Always babe 😘. You can test tomorrow if you wanted too that would be completely reasonable. Hopefully it is just the end of implantation bleeding, it can sometimes last a few days apprently 🤷. Remain positive hun you've completely got this ❤️. I've got a high opk again so I'm hoping I'm not going to get two peaks again 🙄🙄🙄🙄

@Gigi318 yes I'm sure I've read that a metallic taste is an early symptom! Eeeek I'm excited for you now! Only a couple of days for you to go now!
I'm good, had a lovely meal out with DH's family last night, then DTD when we got home as got my peak static smiley on CB yesterday afternoon! Then DTD again this morning 😂 had some ovulation twinges earlier so think I'm ovulating today. So hopefully we have it covered 🤞🏼
Caught up with some friends today to plan a surprise birthday trip for another friend and then did some shopping.
How has your nice chilled weekend been?
