@Makeafamily19 I did wonder that. It's the oddest thing, started yesterday! I'm trying. CM is still mid brown and light. Like a little line every few hours! I'm not feeling like AF is coming on overly. The odd twinge/ache but nothing too intense. I just need to calm down 🙈🙈 I am much calmer than earlier. I can get quite dramatic whoops!
Absolutely, it will happen 💖💖💖 thank you babe! How are you?? How is your Sunday going?? Xx

Makeafamily19 · 20/10/2019 15:59

@Gigi318 isn't metallic taste a PG symptom?! Stay positive hun you are still in the game! It's so tough the week before AF/BFP, I want to just know if it's worked straight away! Remember even if this isn't your cycle (and it most definitely still could be!), you are only cycle 2 and you will get your little bubba soon I just know it! Keep the hope alive! 💖

@Lizziedu49 what makes you think that it could be cancer related sweetie apart from the abnormal cells last year? What symptoms have you got? I'm sure it's not, we just focus so much when TTC that we pinpoint every tiny twinge/ feeling. Most definitely get checked though just to put your mind at ease.

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 13:52

@Hewie30 I'm 12DPO today. Yes, you're so right. I'd usually be so positive, you know me 🥰 but I just feel it in my bones that this is AF. I may be wrong but we shall see.
Frustratingly, I have a strong metallic taste in my mouth and it's constantly watering. I don't know if my body is playing tricks on me or what.
Hopefully you're right and it's just more old blood from implantation! It's darker brown so it could be 🤷‍♀️ time will tell I guess.
Exciting! I swear we have these twinges all month long, just never realised until we were TTC 🙈🙊 thank you for talking me off of the ledge 😘

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 13:46

@gigi318 What dpo are you today? That's so positive that it's still brown though babe!! 😍. Awh bless you! This is by far the hardest part of the cycle!! It's an emotional rollercoaster 😒. The lower back and the twinges could be either hun honestly, im 3dpo and I'm having both of those today too 😊

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 13:40

@Hewie30 that's right, due Wednesday according to flo, earliest would be Tuesday I think. I'm very rarely early, usually late if anything but I can't help worry. I just checked, still brown. Getting pulling twinges/cramps now and an achey lower back. 😩💔 I should have tested today and I would know. If there's no AF by the morning I might test to put my mind at ease. I just want to know either way now. This is torture!!

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 13:15

@gigi318 Your not due until Wednesday though are you? So you'd be coming on pretty early if it is AF. What colour is the bleeding now? As long as it's not bright red your still in ❤️. Although some ladies do have bleeding and still be pregnant 😘

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 12:53

@Hewie30 eeeek 3DPO exciting. This time in two weeks you would have tested 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I'm trying, but I've had more spotting. Not loads but it's darker this morning after it was virtually gone yesterday and just making me think it's AF. I don't have any cramps or anything, but just struggling to feel positive 😞💔 hopefully it's just PG spotting, just in my gut think it's AF and it's gutting!

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 12:18

@gigi318 I'm only 3dpo so yeah far too early for any symptoms! Awh babe why do you feel emotional? Try remain positive ❤️. The hormonal change from being pregnant can make you emotional annnnd you have had what could be implantation 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞. I totally think this is your month

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 11:00

@Hewie30 that's good. How many DPO are you now?? Too early for symptoms I think, isn't it. I'm feeling really rubbish to be honest. Feel off and emotional and as if AF is going to hit 😞💔

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 10:35

@gigi318 Morning babe! It's actually going okay so far which is good 😂, I've been keeping myself busy. How you feeling this morning? I've not got any symptoms at the moment to report

Lizziedu49 · 20/10/2019 10:06

Ladies I have freaked myself out. AF not due until tomorrow but because 2 FRERs have come up negative I'm thinking what if it's the big C... in September last year I had grade III abnormal cells removed from my cervix but what if they didn't get it all and that's what I'm experiencing 😭😭😭 if AF is not here by weds and tests are still negative I'm booking an appointment with the GP...

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 08:17

@claireb707 oh absolutely! So maybe you will come on earlier this cycle, if not PG. if you get any twinges or symptoms in like a weeks time, I say test like the 3rd 😁 I'm just to excited for everyone!! It really sounds like you've covered it this time.
And yes it would be worth missing the cruise if PG and you could book a babymoon somewhere lovely instead 💖💙

claireb707 · 20/10/2019 08:04

I seem to ovulate around day 12, period is around day 30-32 but it may change as body settles down after pill still

Definitely wouldn't go on cruise if pregnant due to zika risk. So need to know in plenty of time whether to cancel. If not pregnant then we go and have to wait at least a month after returning before we can try again

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 07:58

@claireb707 yes that's a good idea, so you know either way. That's a long LP - like 20 days! Do you usually have that?? Maybe you'd be due the weekend before? Hmm yes it would be good to know. Would you not go if very early PG? Xx

claireb707 · 20/10/2019 07:53

Due around 8th November so will probably test that week unless anything obvious occurs earlier.
We're going to see gerry cinnamon in Leeds on 8th and staying over so would be good to know either way so I could have a drink 😂

Trying to work out if we have another month of trying this year or not. Trying to decide how much notice we would need to give the cruise to cancel. I'd be due on 1st week of December and we go on 22nd.

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 07:44

Happy Sunday, ladies. How are we??

@claireb707 woohoo so excited for you. When is AF due?? When will you test??

@Hewie30 how is your weekend going babe? Hope you can distract yourself now that you're in the TWW 💖💙

@Katie1109 how are you feeling today chick?

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend 🥂

claireb707 · 20/10/2019 07:32

Officially in 2ww now 🤞🤞 1dpo

Gigi318 · 19/10/2019 08:13

Morning everyone, Happy Saturday! How are we all??
Me? Another rubbish night - asleep at 1am and it was definitely anxiety keeping me up. I had a little cry to myself and thought right, this has got to stop. Stupid hormones!!! And I'm also on CM watch. Virtually nothing since my bath last night so let's hope it stays that way, hey ladies. Keep your 🤞🏻 for me 💖

@claireb707 the bathroom is looking gorge! You must be so pleased!

@HannyLove yes, it's all of our firsts in this thread so a nice little group if you're brand new at this 🙌🏻 Don't worry, I did that but after my FW and then thought oh rubbish I think I did it all wrong haha! So this month I've hopefully nailed it!

HannyLove · 18/10/2019 22:05

@gigi318 are you ttc your first?
@Hewie30 good thank you lovely, how are you? we've only been ttc for a few weeks, I've had account open since about 2 days after lol ahead of myself much?! What about you? Xx

claireb707 · 18/10/2019 21:51

@Makeafamily19 bingo, that sounds about right. Fantastic job! Thanks chick, as does yours. One of those where there's lots to look forward to 💖

Makeafamily19 · 18/10/2019 21:17

@Gigi318 some days are busier than others but I'm a manager in the NHS so there's always stuff to do!
That sounds like the perfect weekend to me ❤️

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 20:47

@Makeafamily19 oh goodness. Mega busy day. I feel like you must have a busy job where you've got a lot to get done. Which is the best distraction! Amazing!
Thank you so much. I hope so. I've had a few mini meltdowns but trying to be positive now. Yes I am hoping so! Yes sort of. Nothing busy but lots of nice food and books, and visiting family. My weekends always seem to be busy and over in a flash so I'm hoping it's slow and lazy and chilled! Just what I need right now 💖

Makeafamily19 · 18/10/2019 20:36

@Hewie30 I'm not due to ovulate till Sunday/ Monday I think. First flashing smiley today but I don't get much warning normally so hopefully get my peak tomorrow or Sunday! My AF is due 4th Nov as my cycle is quite short. I'm going to a funeral that day though so it's either going to cheer me up or make me even more miserable!
Yeah I bet it was the pregnacare, that's why I've not started taking anything. All I'm taking is folic acid 5mg and vitamin b complex.

@Gigi318 Haha I check the app at work but don't get time to properly read everything and reply. I don't even take a lunch break normally and I left 30 mins late tonight.
All sounding positive for you! Hopefully it stops completely from tomorrow. Do you have any fun plans this weekend to distract yourself??
I'm going out for dinner with the in laws tomorrow night for DH's dad's 60th and meeting some friends for brunch on Sunday. So quite a chilled one 😄

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 20:18

@Makeafamily19 sorry chick, I have been obsessing all day so glued to this app 😂🙈 I didn't get an awful lot of work done today, as I'm sure you can imagine 🙊
So it seems to have really slowed down. Barely anything on a pad since early afternoon. Checked my cervix and it's still squishy and there's much less in there too so I'm hoping this is all a positive! Thank you babe. Me too. It's been very light and I usually get daaaaark down CM so hope thats a good sign. Along with no cramps! How are you??

@Hewie30 that's the spirit chick, keep that in mind 🙌🏻 hopefully you had some there waiting and you've now got your little pea processing!! Nope, we did three days in a row before and not on my estimated O day as OH was away - so 🤞🏻 this is why I am so positive about the before is best thing 😂
Aww thanks chick. When I wake up tomorrow it will only be three days to go. Eeekkk!!! Heheheh are you??? Yes we have. I was so excited for you last month and still adamant you were PG so surely you would have been extra fertile this month. Sounds it by the rate the egg wanted to pop out!!!
That's so true. It's flown. Which mean your TWW will be over before we know it. When will you test? 14/15DPO??
I'm trying to relax now that there seems to be lot less. Just hoping it goes 🙌🏻💖
