TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

Morning ladies, how are we all?

@Makeafamily19 yes definitely, I agree with you there!

@Hewie30 so exciting. That's what I do too, make sure I get to celebrate lots! I know, I'm really hoping it's all positive but I just want to stay as calm and distracted as possible! I'm 6DPO today and woke up feeling a bit like I'm coming down with something. Lovely!

@flossy12 welcome back babe, did you all have a lovely time?? Sorry to hear the sickness has kicked in! Hopefully work has been a bit of a distraction??

@Katie1109 your symptoms all sound so good. Really keeping my 🤞🏻 for you. Did you feel any of this last month? Also, cramping can be early PG, so you never know. Any other AF symptoms? A girl I know had really sore boobs most of TWW then they sort of stopped and a day later... BFP! Are you noticing any CM?

I'm 6DPO (getting there) and boobs feel full and tender but don't hurt to touch, a bit crampy on and off but it's only mild (although I was aware of it in the night). Haven't checked CM yet today/noticed any. But do seem to have a bit of a cold setting in. And again, I'm doing my best not to symptom spot 🙃🙃🙃

Hope everyone is doing OK! Slightly MIA after my holiday I do apologise, the sickness has kicked in and been busy at work since I got back!

Anyone due to test soon? 😍😍

Anyone got some strong symptoms? X

@orcadelph It's so easy to give in and test then get disappointed! Try your best to run to the loo first thing in the morning that way you've got rid of your FMU 😂

@gigi318 Yeaaaah when it drags on its the best 😂. I'm meeting friends next Saturday too so that'll be nice. Ooo those symptoms sound good!! 😍😍. It's SO hard not to symptom spot though isn't it

@Gigi318 well I know I ovulate roughly CD12 so I could aim for around then but I have so many CB OPKs now I figure I may as well use them 😂 also gives me something to do

Welcome @orcadolph @amysara24 !

I feel your pain @claireb707 ever since I got married 2 months ago it's all anyone asks me!

@claireb707 yes I always hate that. When you just start to feel really uncomfortable and wish people just didn't ask you stuff. It's awful and I get it all the time too!! Hope you've had a more relaxing Sunday!!

@orcadolph absolutely. I'm doing much better this month but it's hard to ignore things when your boobs are sore or there's lots of CM 🙈🙈🙈

@Gigi318 each month I tell myself I’ll stop symptom spotting and then I get sucked in! Keeping my fingers crossed for you

@orcadolph yes that definitely seems like a good idea to me, chick. It's so hard because every body is so different and I have always felt like I've known my body well but then last month I was convinced I was PG! So now I'm trying not to look to into the symptoms!!

Sorry to hear about your grandma @Raizelrea 😢 xx

I've had an ok weekend, went down to Basingstoke to see 2 friends and we went to a beer festival. I don't do beer so had a couple of ciders and a couple of gins. Which felt very deserved after the last week.

One of the Friends seemed quite keen on constantly (and I mean constantly) asking us when we were getting married and having kids, he joked that our car (that we've had a month) was very much a family car etc etc.
I couldn't work out how to shut him up without saying we were trying. It was getting a little wearing and I sort of started not enjoying being there.

@Gigi318 My OPK was positive early this month at CD11 which made me wonder if it’s too late for IB but before this I haven’t had spotting since coming off the pill in Jan. Normally AF starts heavily with bad cramps and heavier CM 2 days before and this has been nothing like it so fingers crossed. Maybe I need to see if AF shows on Wednesday morning and test if not

Thanks everyone 💗 in ways, it’s almost a relief to have other people doing the day counting and stressing for me! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽
Where is everyone else in their journey?

@amysara24 sorry to hear about your journey chick, but I've heard such good things about clomid, this should be so exciting for you!

@orcadolph how does your AF usually start? It could be IB, although a little late on - unless you implanted late so fingers crossed for you. If it is IB, they say to wait three days after the spotting has stopped and then test 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Hewie30 yay so pleased for you. I love when birthday celebrations drag on. It's how I like to do it 🙊🙊🙊
Well I'm doing my VERY best not to symptom spot, but here goes... woke up with a few mild crampy like twinges that have since gone. My boobs feel so heavy and tender and nipples are once again gross, but I think last month they only felt tender around 9-10DPO (so closer to AF) and I'm only 5DPO today. And lots of milky/creamy CM. But as I said, trying not to symptom spot 😂😂😂🙈👀

@Hewie30 thank you, it’s just so hard to resist testing! Each month I say I won’t test early and always do and get really disappointed

Amysara24 Of course, welcome! Best of luck to you this month ❤️

@orcadolph Yeah that definatly could be implantation bleeding hun, how exciting!! But testing tomorrow would be far too early. After implantation you need at least a few days (usually 5-7) for HCG to rise and from woman to woman it varies. I'd definitely try and wait a little longer

@gigi318 Yeah I've celebrated with them today 😊. Just got home from seeing them funnily enough.

Awh that's good!! Your nearly there 😍, how you feeling? Noticing anything at all today that's different from previous months?

@ACMJ The pains sound like a good thing! Could be implantation or your body changing to make room for a little peanut! Those tests are strange, I agree with gigi318 wait until Tuesday and try a frer again with FMU it's strange because they tend to be more sensitive

Been TTC for 8 months and AF due on Wednesday. Always have very regular 28 day cycles but have had brown spotting for 2 days from Friday (CD24) which has now stopped. Could this be implantation bleeding? It started 13 DPO. If it is implantation bleeding would testing tomorrow morning with a FRER be too soon? I was going to test Saturday morning but the spotting put me off!

Can I join in? Been TTC1 for about 2 years, and have just been prescribed Clomid by a fertility specialist. Today is my last day of progesterone before hopefully AF, and then I can start. It’s so tiring! Good luck everyone, let’s hope this month is the month 💗

@ACMJ yes definitely odd. Do you have another FRER for FMU? Maybe on Tuesday to give it time???

@Katie1109 hey, hey girl!!! I'm good, 5DPO today. Nothing much to report but my boobs feel heavy, full and tender in themselves but not painful to touch. Nipples look vile again, so could be anything. But, lots of CM! Trying not to read too much into anything!!! It all sounds good for you. Will you do FRER on Wednesday??

@Gigi318 okay so I have just done a test I did a cheap boots own and I got what I am sure is a very faint positive!!! But then I did a FRER and it is stark white, what on earth?!

@ACMJ eeek, I hope something happens soon. It's always so hard when you're trying to work out what's going on with your cycle and what's normal. And even when you do, it's like your body then plays a trick on you and switches everything up 🙈

@Gigi318 yeah every single day haha (keeping the cost a secret from OH!!!) just really strange and this pain really hurts! Thank you me too!!
