TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

@claireb707 that's good, hoping it's a good thing and not a new random start to AF. But if it's stopped then it could be IB eeek!!!

@Hewie30 hey chick!!! Glad you're taking some time away and feeling more relaxed. Is it on your mind at all? Nothing much from me. I'm CD14, DTD lots, OH away for a few days now, and TWW starts on Wednesday for me. Do you know roughly where you are, what CD? Fab approach you're taking here babe, think it will be a great thing for you 💫

@raizelrea Happy birthday hun!! 🎂🎈

Morning ladies ❤️. How are you all? @katie1109 @gigi318. Sorry I've been taking a break with ttc talk and the boards, hoping that'll make me more laid back this month 😂. Any updates for me 😍

Happy birthday @Raizelrea 🍾🍾🎉🎉🎈🎁

Today was day 3 of spotting but it's soooo light barely enough for a panty liner. But still very brown s nothing like period at all

Morning ladies, how are we all?

@Raizelrea Happy Birthday babe!!! 21 again 🥂💖 So crazy how many people in my life have their Birthday today. Hope you have some nice plans in place. Please don't be too disheartened about the bleeding. Did you save FMU? And remember that CB are way less sensitive so it was always going to be a less linier line! Hope the FRER arrive soon. Do you have the day off today? Hope so, make sure you enjoy your day no matter what is going on down below!!! And also, they say IB can be confused for a period in a lot of people, so stay positive. And my last also for now - as you said, if it is AF then you know you can conceive and you're very likely to be extra fertile for next month. So really, it's all good babes, it really is 🥂🤞🏻💫

@Katie1109 hello, hello! Yes lots of DTD for us 🙌🏻 woohoo! Sort of glad he is away now so I can get some rest 🙊 Flo dates O as tomorrow. So far I've had lots of watery CM (no EWs as of yet) and a few twinges Friday-Saturday but no real aches or pains. Boobs a bit tender today. So we shall see how it goes. Will class Weds as 1DPO unless I get EWs after then! So are you 6/7dpo now?

@claireb707 excellent news the spotting has stopped! Was it ever heavy at all? How many days in today was it? 3? Eeek exciting!!

@Makeafamily19 oh chick! What CD are you? I really hope it's not babe. But be mind to yourself and try to relax. It will happen, just keep up the positive thoughts. When the time is right, the little bean will be there. Is AF due Saturday then? If so, this is bang on IB time. Unless you spot this far before AF usually??

@Raizelrea happy birthday! (I'm sure it's today??) sorry about AF, not the best birthday present but at least you can have some wine!

My spotting has started this morning so that's the first major sign I'm out. Pretty gutted not gonna lie, feels like it's never gonna happen. I know I'm only cycle 4 but this already feels like torture. How do people take years of it?? I may take a break from MN once AF hits on Saturday, I feel like it's consuming me.

No tested yesterday, didn't have time this morning, first day back at work and already running late. Got in 45 mins later than normal, good job work has flexible start times

@claireb707 That could be a good sign 🤞

It appears to have stopped again now 🤨

Thanks @Katie1109 pretty sure this is AF now, stronger and painful. Just wasn't meant to be our month. Hopefully this means we can conceive though (unless the test was faulty, but all the ones I'd done up till now were stark negatives before now so I don't think so).

Only a week to go for your TWW woo! Getting there 😊

There was maybe a ghost of a line on the CB though the FRER one yesterday was more visible. Either way my bleeding seems to be increasing so it doesn't appear to be sticking ☹️

@Gigi318 Tomorrow for sure, this time with FMU, I'm such an idiot for doing it in the afternoon haha! Will probably save it for later to do a FRER too. There's definitely a line, the bleeding worries me in combination with how faint it is though. At least I know that I haven't been crazy with the nausea and breast pain this cycle though!

@Raizelrea it's so hard to tell, isn't it. And it's funny you should say that, my skin was SO clear and glowy right up until after AF had started! And my skin is usually so bad right before AF. It's also gone to shit now, of course. Worse than it usually is 🙃 such is life! Oh I really hope things work out for you. When will you test again??

@Gigi318 The spotting is definitely an AF symptom for me, and I have some bloating which I also normally get before AF. But I'm having some unusual symptoms too, like the boob pain and the nausea. Also my skin is clearer then it would normally be at this point in the cycle and I seem to have more energy. But I guess it's just too early to tell if it will amount to anything.

@Raizelrea yes. Do you have any AF symptoms? Hopefully it gets linier. Eek!!!

@Gigi318 @myttcjourney Thank you ladies! I still feel like AF is coming and still have a bit of spotting so we shall see if it becomes "linier" 😊

@raizelrea a line is definitely a line. Have seen loads of faint line pics where they have been pregnant! How exciting

@claireb707 good that it's not heavy. We will just have to wait and see 🤞🏻💫

@Raizelrea oh that's fantastic. I love the elderly. How fantastic of you to volunteer. So lovely!! Oh no, sorry to hear about your relatives. I hope they're not too far away and you can visit if need be 😞 yes that would be such a light for everyone! Oh don't worry, even if so, remember the baby survives off of the yolk sac for like 7 weeks or something so not really taking anything from you. Funnily enough, I said to OH that I wanted to have cheese and wine next weekend so I've got it out of the way before PG as I will miss brie!! (And red wine, of course)

@Makeafamily19 Thank you!!!

@claireb707 No we got rid of it this year as we never used it enough, I think I'll stop by Boots tomorrow and pick up some FRER. I do have a CB here but I know they're not as sensitive.

@Raizelrea do you have amazon prime? You could probably get some tomorrow if you do and they'll be cheaper

@claireb707 I ran out of tests (wish I hadn't wasted this one on random afternoon wee now) so will dash to the shop tomorrow morning... Sorry your spotting seems to be increasing, fingers crossed it stops.

@Gigi318 I agree, I met loads of amazing older people earlier this year when I volunteered as an extra in a play, they all did all sorta of stuff, volunteering, being extras, learning to dance, doing flash mobs... They were amazing!

I'm all over the place to be honest, just had a call that OH's granddad is in the hospital with health complications of his cancer, my grandma is also in the hospital unconscious with various infections (but she and my parents are in another country so I can't go see them, it's all a bit much to process. Keep looking at the line, I really hope it is something for all of our families sake. Kind if wish I didn't have the wine and brie last night though, I was so convinced I was getting AF... The last few days have been nuts!

Not heavy at all wish I had carried in doing opk tests now after I got my peak just to see what my cycle was doing

Eeeek fingers crossed for you @Raizelrea 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
