Too many threads and looking for friends to go through the TTC journey

No more brown since 2pm. Should I test in the morning?

@wednesdayspinner yes I told him this morning. He is like a bottle of pop!

@FirsttimeTTC massive congratulations!! Have you managed to tell your DP yet?

Thanks everyone!! Trying to stay calm about it all. I took a CB test as well which was a very clear positive, just to double check.

Definitely still going to hang around this thread! Lots of baby dust to you all!!

@eithne nothing all night and now more brown. Want to be positive but have a bad feeling it’s going to turn into AF.

@peachypetite how are you getting on with that spotting? Anything promising or just AF playing knock and run?

@FirsttimeTTC - That's awesome! No wonder your gin didn't go down so well - Congratulations! :-)

@jenna30ttc Sorry to hear AF arrived early - mine did that last month: I was not impressed by it. Hopefully this is the month for you.

@Sausage1990 don't underestimate the stress of having a chemical: perhaps it's just kinked your rhythm a little? Keep testing with the OPKs, fingers crossed it settles down soon.

Meanwhile over here on CD3 I am really not enjoying the off-the-pill AF experience :-( 10 years without AF cramps or PMT was nice. My cycle before the pill was always: light, light, AF ATTACK, light, light - so today I feel like crap. Treating myself to the expensive OPKs this month because last month was so out of whack I wanted to check my cycle without having to squint at misleading lines on cheap sticks. Also I like smiley faces.

Definitely a line!!!!

@FirsttimeTTC dont stress yourself testing. Leave it for a few more days. That way you will see the line getting darker. I know all about the scared feeling. Im still scared 8 weeks in haha

@Lucy5546 @Jenna30ttc thank you! I’m a bit scared ahaha. DP is out at the moment and won’t be back until later. I really want to tell him!! But not going to do it over the phone.
Being cautious as I’m only 10dpo so i will keep testing to make sure line gets darker.

This is it after 5 mins

Thanks ladies.

@FirsttimeTTC OMG i defo see a line! congratulations chick x

@FirsttimeTTC we posted at the same time. Isee a faint line. Congrats

Sorry to hear AF showed @jenna30ttc. Good luck with this month.

@peachypetite ooh sounds soo promising. I have my fingers crossed for you.

@FirsttimeTTC have you tested yet?

Omg... I just went to the toilet..

I think I have a bfp? Or am I dreaming...
came up within 1 minute

Thanks everyone for advice around having a drink last night.
It was so weird! I decided to go for a G&T with dinner. That was fine. Then we went to a bar and I had another G&T and that was fine but felt like it was going down like cement towards the end. Then one of friends got another one for me, it was horrible. I couldn’t stand it so left half. Got a glass of water because I felt so nauseous. My other friend then got me ANOTHER one, where at this point I had to politely decline and ask her if she could drink it instead. I then spent all night throwing up which is so strange because normally I only throw up if I have way more than 2 and a half drinks! What the heck is going on!?

Sorry for the long post, I can’t talk to anyone else about whether or not this could be a symptom, not even DP as he’s out this morning.
Thanks lovely ladies!

@Jenna30ttc ahhh sorry AF came!! Fingers crossed this is your cycle.

Argh Jenna! But at least you know. My spotting stopped for about 12 hours and just had a little bit now first thing. I am praying it doesn’t develop into my period today.

Af arrived for me girlies. 4 days early! Good look to everyone else.

I popped out earlier to get presents for tomorrow and nipped into Boots. Got some first response which claim up to six days before your period.
I have had a little bit more spotting and my stomach ache has gone. Will be interesting to see if this develops into my period tomorrow or not!

I asked the gp about pregnancy tests and she said cheapies are just as good as the more expensive ones :). I'm absolutely good with that, they can be ridiculously pricey!

@peachypetite Get frer. It seems to be the most popular and most accurate one.

Yeh my app probably isn’t spot on to be honest. I’ve not had any more pink since this morning. Had a belly ache all day. I have a full on day tomorrow so unless this turns into a period tomorrow I think I’ll test on Sunday morning which is one day before my period is due. What’s the best test to get anyone know?

@peachypetite I would give it a day or two to see how it progresses. It could be implantation but you won't know for another day or two. Sorry! Implantation occurs between 8-10 (at the very latest 12) days. Fingers crossed it is IB.

Going by my flo app 12 dpo

@Sausage1990 thank you for your response. You are right and actually I don't want to be that awful bitter person. I am genuinely happy for them so like you said I need to reframe it in a way that is positive.

@peachypetite how many DPO are you?

Ive just come back from the salon feeling fresh and pampered. Just had my haircut 💇‍♀️ from long hair to a long bob, eyebrows waxed and getting my nails done shortly. I totally deserve it. 😂 how is everyone else doing?
