AF cramps tonight 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

nt1992 · 17/12/2019 19:28

@FutureMrsSmith aw hopefully she won't turn up🤞🏼 my nipples are a bit sore tonight but not my whole boob but pretty sure it's in my head. Headaches have been horrific today aswell. But still BFN 🤷🏽‍♀️ according to apps I'm 2 days late

YukoandHiro · 17/12/2019 18:51

I'm in the 2ww too - eighth month now, getting fed up. Due on xmas day.... fingers crossed we have a positive as a bonus present!

CiaraJ01 · 17/12/2019 18:50

@mellymoo86 I love how I'm your gauge whether to drink or not 😂😂 I would have one tonight. It wouldnt hurt - they say you can have one every now and then right through pregnancy right??

@Skygirl1983

Guess I will have to wait and see. I know our bodies can go rogue and be unpredictable at times but I’ve never had the random brown/pink tinge at this point in my cycle before so I couldn’t help getting my hopes up. It’s like our bodies know and play tricks on us!!

Skygirl1983 · 17/12/2019 18:16

@Unicornsparklez it's such a tough one. I was convinced I had implantation bleeding last month and the month before but I wasnt pregnant. All I can say is that ttc makes you so much more aware of your body that you'll jump on every symptom there is!

@nt1992 I'm absolutely fine now! Still waiting on AF (due tomorrow) my right boob is slightly tender which is how it started last month so hoping it comes and goes before Christmas!

FutureMrsSmith · 17/12/2019 18:03

@Unicornsparklez I believe (girls help me confirm) that you should be able to test a few days after implantation which sounds like exactly what you've had!

Unicornsparklez · 17/12/2019 17:44

Hey all. To update my light bleeding has stopped today. So that was 2 days light bleeding CD24 and 25 and now nothing today. AF due in 7 days (24.12 - according to Flo app) just a waiting game now. I understand the Xmas festivity woes. I have my works Christmas party on Saturday evening. If I have a drink and then find a BFP next week I will feel so guilty to have drank alcohol. But if I don’t think and AF arrives and I will wish I had just enjoyed myself.

If I test on Saturday so 5 days after this random mid cycle bleed do you think I’d get an accurate result or not until after AF due date? Confused

nt1992 · 17/12/2019 17:10

@Blondeandbroody I know right 🙄 I've not pee'd for about 2 hours so I'm gonna hold it for as long as pos🤦🏽‍♀️

Littlepea90 · 17/12/2019 17:08

@Sjk89

I know it’s easy to say, but try not to worry yourself too much and I hope you get a BFP when you test. They do point to all good signs that I’ve read can happen when pregnant.

Can completely relate with the friends, three of my close ones are all pregnant and it’s awful to say, but whilst I’m over the moon for them, I’m a little Confused jealous at the moment.

Skygirl1983 · 17/12/2019 16:56

@Needallthesleep can that happen after a c section??? I have had 3 so I could be buggered if that's the case!! TTC my hubbies first baby but my youngest is 12 so not been pregnant for a while!

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 16:50

@nt1992 we both know you're gonna take it haha start saving your wee now!

I would be a total hypocrite to say wait, when I've taken 4 today and it's only just dark out ha ha but you probably should wait! Just to save yourself the possible heartache x

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 16:49

@Needallthesleep TTC does crazy things to your mind and your emotions doesn't it.

With all the best intentions in the world, you can only ride it out and just try to think if it's gonna happen it will. I know it's easier said than done, believe me, I've taken about 20+ tests this cycle and I'm only due AF tomorrow!!!

Please don't be getting yourself all worked up over something you don't need to be worrying about just yet lovely. I am of course assuming you are just assuming you have secondary infertility?

Give it a few more months and cycles and then see? Best just try to give yourself every chance by DTD at the right times, track ovulation by temp or OPKs if that will give you a better idea. Maybe discuss it again with your OH after a few more months if he would be happy to have another but isn't that bothered and he can see how much you want it maybe after trying for a while longer he will consider taking further steps if needs be but you may very well not need to? Xxxx

nt1992 · 17/12/2019 16:46

@Blondeandbroody I am so like you with the constant tests😂 I have 1 FRER left and because I've been getting positive tests in the evening I'm tempted to take it later on but I know I should really just wait it out 😞

Needallthesleep · 17/12/2019 16:44

Hi,

I’m TTC #2, only two months in but sat on the loo at work crying because I’ve got myself into a state of thinking I’ve got secondary infertility after my c section. Anyone around to chat? I’m over 35 now so feel like time is against me. My DH isn’t bothered about having a second so we wouldn’t go through fertility treatment.

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 16:44

Haha @nt1992 mate I keep checking mumsnet like every 5 mins whilst working and then checking my app and every time I need to pee I seem to be POAS haha I am useless!

I work from home btw I don't take a bag full of tests and sneak off to the toilets in an office to test haha!

I've had quite a productive day at work tho I finish tomorrow for 2.5 weeks and I've got so so many cases to complete before then so it's kept me busy but even still I've found time to obsess haha!! Dedicated to the cause! Only 3 cases to go! Woop!

nt1992 · 17/12/2019 16:38

@Blondeandbroody aww I hope she stays away for you! I'm trying so hard not to constantly think about it and put it out of my mind but it's so hard😂

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 16:30

It's so cruel isn't it @nt1992 I don't feel like she's coming either because I don't have sore boobs but watch her show up tomorrow right on time the little witch!!

nt1992 · 17/12/2019 16:28

@Blondeandbroody every time I get a BFN I feel out but then I'm like well where is AF? She's always on time and I don't feel like she's coming😫

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 16:27

@nt1992 I can't stop myself I literally can't haha the only thing that is gonna help me is not buying any until AF is due!

It's just this nausea all day has been making me think maybe!! So I wanna test but nothing.

I'll wait and see if she shows tomorrow and if not order some from amazon for Thursday/Friday - if I can stop myself from driving to the nearest boots before then haha!

It would help if PMS and preggo symptoms weren't the exact same!!!!!!!!

nt1992 · 17/12/2019 16:21

@Blondeandbroody I'm terrible for taking tests, I just wish we could look inside and see what is going on 🤦🏽‍♀️

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 16:18

@nt1992 I thought it was!

I have 3 ICs left now lol so I think I'll have to use those up before I can feasibly wait until a while after AF is late; if it even is, before testing again. Just seeing constant negative is killing me, I'd rather just wait it out but I've broken the seal haha pun intended and can't stop POAS!

nt1992 · 17/12/2019 16:16

@Blondeandbroody I had said about the tests saying take a week after your period is due & I wondered how anyone could wait that time but tbh I think I'm going to do it, it's physically draining me I'm so crabbit about it all 🙄

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 16:11

@CiaraJ01 I read somewhere else actually that the advice is take a test a week after you're late?!

I think somebody in here said it yesterday too x
