Anyone starting the TWW #2

@Laur89 Thankyou huni, I still can't believe it, I feel like it's not true. I had a bottle of wine last night because I literally thought there was no way after all this time. 😫
Not fully sure when AF is due, I would say Sun/Mon.. my cycles always vary by a few days.. I said I wasn't going to test until then but I've had no spotting which is unusual and it's been niggling at me on and off, then I saw the rapid response when I was in the bathroom and thought sod it.. xx

OMG @Gems7 that looks like a BFP to me!!! When did you say you were due on?? Eeekkkk that's so exciting!!!!!

Girls..... I'm freaking out over here!!!!!!
I said I wasn't testing until I'd missed a period but I found an old clearblue rapid response in the bathroom cabinet.. I don't even have the instructions for the bloody thing anymore.. LOOK!!!!!!!

@Gems7 yeah it's upsetting every month isn't it :( dong quai is a herb it's great for pms cramps and fertility! Honestly I feel like crap but I don't feel like a truck has hit me how I normally feel 😂
Ohhh yes agnus castus does change cycles but that's great news because fingers crossed it'll lengthen your LP!! Whoop whoop for no spotting xx

@Missgoldilocks what's dong quai? 👀

@Annny27 me and OH won't stop trying i don't think but if AF arrives for me then I think I'll ditch the OPK's and logging everything for the next couple of months as it's far too stressful and I get so upset each month! Xx

@Annny27 Defo will do hun, I won't be testing until I think I'm definitely late, so mid next week..
Half way through 12DPO now (CD27) and STILL no sign of spotting 🤞🏻🤞🏻 It's unheard of for me..
Not getting my hopes up for a BFP though as the Agnus castus has probs made my cycle slightly different hasn't it.. not taking them now because I ran out yesterday.
Boobs are tender and I feel so fat and bloated and ugly these last 2 days 😞 AF must be here soon! Xx

@Gems7 @anny27 will do. I'm due tomorrow so it may come tonight. I'm not getting my usual symptoms, normally I have bad cramps for 2 days prior and sickness but I started taking dong quai 3 days ago and if it's started to work already like that then I'm really happy! The pain and sickness was just awful to deal with. So if af comes nice and quietly it'll make it easier lol

Let me know when you test or if AF arrives @Gems7 @Missgoldilocks :D

We are taking a ttc break this month - see how the virus pans out. Last pregnancy I needed a lot of intervention so think whilst the nhs is super stretched it's best that I wait a while. For you guys if you have successful and easy pregnancies I dont think there is a reason to wait :)

Hi all. I'm 10-11DPO, 2 days late. I got a negative FRER two days ago (8-9DPO) the day AF was due, I usually have a 27 day cycle and a short luteal phase. I'm now on CD29, no real symptoms apart from sore breasts (but alas I've been wfh and not wearing a bra so that's probably why).

Will test again tomorrow but feeling a bit bummed that I'm having no symptoms so not feeling confident. This was also the first month I took conception vitamins and I've heard they can mess up your cycle.

@Missgoldilocks I hope you're wrong hun, there's always a glimmer of hope for us, but I feel the same again, fully expecting her by Monday at the very latest! Xx

Hey @Gems7 12dpo over here 👋 glad you've had no spotting that's great! I can feel af on her way though, it'll definitely come on Saturday for me 🥺😔

How's everyone doing today?
Halfway through 11DPO for me and no sign of any spotting so far.. 🤞🏻
Still don't feel pregnant either though 😃 boobs are slightly tender but that's normal, still getting the odd headache on and off and off cramp/twinge but not uncomfortable.. and that's it!
Xx

@PrettyTulip you should look up dong quai apparently it helps with flow if it's light xx I just started taking it because its good for uterus health

@Missgoldilocks yeah I deffo think it's a vvvvvlight AF. No symptoms of a bleed or pregnancy tho so maybe an anovulutary one?! Xx

@PrettyTulip how do you feel?? Any symptoms or do you think it was a period? Xx

@Gems7 yayyy I'm glad there's no spotting for you! I think agnus castus could really help with your LP! Fingers crossed it just doesn't become too long! I just bought dong quai and milk thistle to add to the mix x

@Missgoldilocks I really really hope so 🤞🏻 I definitely don't think I'm pregnant this cycle though. But on a positive note I'm 9DPO with no spotting yet like last cycle.. so hopefully the agnus castus is helping with my progesterone..., but then to piss all over my positive everything is god damn closed so I can't get any more 😂😂

@Missgoldilocks you WILL get pregnant. Positive thinking!

Practically nothing yesterday evening/today. Lightest period I've ever known xx

@Gems7 😂😂 listennnnn I'm feeling sick and I'm like plzzzz be pregnancy!! But I get sickness before my period too its suuuuch a bitch normally that would be a sure fire thing!! 😅😥 Hopefully it means something good for the both of us? Do you think we will get pregnant at some point? That's all that goes through my head lol will I?? Will I have to have ivf? Huff xx

@anny27 you OK?? And @PrettyTulip How'sthe flow? Xx

@Missgoldilocks tell me about it!! Although I've had a headache on and off for the last few days which is unlike me as I never suffer headaches usually so I'm currently trying to restrain myself from obsessively googling if that definitely means I'm pregnant this time 😂😂 as I know I most likely just need to put my big girl pants on and drink some more water! 😃 xx

@Gems7 yeah I know what you mean! I think when I get to the 12 month mark that's when it really is going to hit me I think since they say it can take a healthy couple a year lol (even tho my doc said it averages at 8 months)
What's doing my brain in is the fact I pretty much know I'm not pregnant by 10dpo and it's like hurry up period just come and go already you aren't welcome here ☹️

@Missgoldilocks I've also been looking into paying privately at a clinic for my fertility assessment. I have had one recommended so when all of this is over I will give them a call. I don't want to wait even more months and months. It's already been nearly a year 😔
Comforting to know we are all in the same boat, but also shit! Because I want us all to be pregnant xxx

@anny27 they won't do anything anyway 😢 my referral for a dye test has been put on hold while this all goes on. Which is crap because probably there will be a back log for a lot of things afterwards! It's already a long wait list for these things! If I can at some point I might just pay for the dye test it's £400 but I'll need to get out at the other end of this shit business has literally stopped ffs 😔

Going to gp*

It's so true no matter how long it's been you always have some hope dont you :( @missgoldilocks

Even today my temps dropped and It was day AF waa due but I was still googling "bfp with temp drop" just shows how much you want it 😭

@gems7 everyone always says they feel like AF is coming before bfp

@PrettyTulip any more luck with your temping?

P.s we are coming up to a year ttc now - but it seems so silly to call the doctors atm in this pandemic climate so will wait it out before going to go
