Going potty here waiting to know! 6dpo. For some reason I'm convinced I'm pregnant and have been dreaming about that quite vividly ConfusedBlush
Trying to not connect the fact I've been gassy as hell the past couple of days, but it's hard because your mind goes everywhere 🤣 there's bound to be another cause for the heartburn, nausea, gassyness and tiredness!!
CM was thick and creamy Monday, now it's lotions/milky with clear and white together. BUT unusually it now has a slight smell to it (tmi sorry!) which I've never noticed before. Not a horrible smell just has a smell that I can't really describe. Also definitely well lubricated ATM!
Been tired, boobs are definitely a tad swollen.
Period not due until 26th.

Someone sit on me, slap me or tell me I'm not entirely potty at all?!

@everpessimistic hope your appointment went well.

@Triptrap keep us informed.

AF turned up this morning as suspected so I won’t be on this journey again until around August xx

Mummajojojo · 23/01/2020 14:15

@TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge hahaha!

The shadow lines are good! The levels are supposed to double every 2 days so fingers crossed!
Sunday is almost here! The fuller boobs sound promising!!

According to my app AF should be here tomorrow or Sat... had the cramps this AM like she was arriving for about an hour then nothing so far so I’m expecting her tonight or tomorrow morning. We’ve resigned to the fact that we’re not pregnant so saving the pennies for when it does happen!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 23/01/2020 12:44

Now 13/14 dpo. AF due Sunday, although I appear to have ovulated early and AF is usually spot on 14 days later..

Boobs are definitely fuller but I'm having no AF signs yet, when I normally would. Frers have had what can only be described as shadow lines so just done a strip test which also has a shadow line.

So I don't know whether it's just too early for anything to show properly or if I'm just unlucky with tests. Cervix is currently nowhere to be bloody found and OH certainly found me wetter last night BlushBlush

Thanks for sharing that I appreciate it!

Sending you lots of warm thoughts and baby dust! Not too much unless you’re hoping for twins 😂!

Xx

everpessimistic · 22/01/2020 13:11

@mumma I’d go to a clinic and get a fertility check they’ll check your AMH (egg count), uterus, husbands sperm and give you a consult.

Should start spotting Friday with full flow Saturday !
I’m actually super excited to start IVF and have some control back

Mummajojojo · 22/01/2020 13:08

Ohhh poo! When are you due (AF)?

I hope you don’t mind me asking - what’s the process for IVF do you need to both be ‘checked out’ first?

I want to have an MOT to check home many eggs I have left (35 this year) and my general levels specifically vit D...

everpessimistic · 22/01/2020 13:04

It’s definitely an EVAP ☹️

Mummajojojo · 22/01/2020 12:58

i Can’t see it but again a line is a line a it says on the box! Dancing hands! Grin

Mummajojojo · 22/01/2020 12:57

@everpessimistic again a line is a line!!! The FRER will be the only thing that will pick up the hormone for 2-4 days so keep testing with those but if your having bloods done they might confirm that ASAP!

I’m staying excited for you guys!

Thinking of you if you do need to start IVF. Stay positive and hopeful. Xx

everpessimistic · 22/01/2020 12:54

Definitely can’t see it on this pic 😂😂

2ww -going mad!
everpessimistic · 22/01/2020 12:53

@TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge how many DPO are you? I’m hoping it’s a positive.
Last ditch attempt at a FRER today showed the faintest faintest line which could only be seen with a torch or direct line. Took a normal test later in the day and negative.
Husband could see it too but I’m so sure it’s an evap shouldn’t have tested anyway! Got bloods and scans tomorrow at the IVF clinic, consent appointment feb and start March 🤞🏼

Mummajojojo · 22/01/2020 12:30

@triptrap - OMG a line is a line no matter how faint! Ooooh I’m so exciting for you! Pls let us know how it goes when you test again after due date!

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that AF is going to appear. And it’s ok.

I can go back to enjoying DTD with no worries about the TWW 🥰🤪!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 22/01/2020 11:46

@Mummajojojo it doesn't mean you're out! Many women don't get a positive until after af is due!

I keep getting insanely faint lines on frers so I'm still none the wiser. I do know my cervix has softened again though and so far had no sign of af coming, usually get signs by now but will have to wait and see I guess!

Morning Ladies! I just tested this morning and another BFN. As I’m 12dpo that’s me out. Disappointed but never mind. Good luck to the rest of you still in xxx

Mummajojojo · 20/01/2020 14:59

😭 sorry hunni.
Why do we do it to ourselves ??!
There is still hope!!

everpessimistic · 20/01/2020 14:28

Couldn’t even wait until tonight. Tested at work and a blaring BFN. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a test so white 😭

Mummajojojo · 20/01/2020 14:13

Thinking of you! Fingers crossed for your test tonight! Send you baby dust!

I caved and bought a FRER for testing tomorrow and Wednesday.

Starting to think I’ve been looking for signs that are just my body tired and getting over Christmas.

everpessimistic · 20/01/2020 13:28

9DPO and I’m going to do a FR test tonight because I can’t wait and I’m obviously wanting to be disappointed. So I’m trying to hold a wee from now until 6pm.
I don’t have ANY symptoms at all. AF due in 4 days. Last time I didn’t get a BFP until cycle day 28 (I’m 26 now) but that was 9 DPO that cycle so fingers crossed. Really really hoping this is our month or it’s IVF and I don’t want to go down that route

Mummajojojo · 20/01/2020 09:26

Good luck of tomorrow’s testing.

I looked back at old tests from baby #1 and I didn’t get a positive until 12dpo which I believe is Wednesday! I’ll test again then!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 20/01/2020 07:40

I'm holding out too. No idea what's going on but something is down there. Sadly just been called into work so am in a mad rush, after cooking hungover OH breakfast in bed before work for both of us 😂 he hasn't drank in a while so a 'quiet drink' with friends last night knocked him for six!

Will test tomorrow I guess.

Mummajojojo · 19/01/2020 20:24

Sorry to hear that @Nonny87!

I’m ok... I had period like cramps last night and I normally feel like that a week before my period.

I’m looking at my apps again reading like a maniac and I think I’m supposed to be testing tomorrow or Wednesday!

So far no surprise with the BFN! No more FRER tests left so that might help me hold out testing until Wednesday (doubt it! )

Nonny87 · 19/01/2020 20:05

I'm out for this month ladies. Af came and visited yesterday so back to square one!

How is everyone getting on? Are you testing? Xx

Mummajojojo · 18/01/2020 20:32

Awww! Sorry it wasn’t the day you hoped for :(!

I hope testing makes up for it!!!

Yeah my DH couldn’t understand the impatience... he’s a runner and I said image you had a twinge in your knee you go to the doc and the doc said you have to wait 2 weeks and I’ll tell you if you can run again or not... he was like ahhhh...Lol! So I think he finally got why I feel so anxious!

My boobs felt sore just walking up and down the stairs today but they do that when AF is on its way so I’m just fed up!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 18/01/2020 17:54

Thanks @Mummajojojo 😊

Well aside from a crappy birthday so far as OH has had to work all day and won't be back for at least another hour yet and my best friend letting me down for tonight I'm now even more confused.

Cervix had firmed this afternoon BUT CM is shifting between white, watery and almost like EWCM and clear watery. Usually when period is approaching it's sticky buy cervix doesn't usually firm until the day my period starts (which would be more than a week early).

I'm sure life would be much easier as a man!!!

Mummajojojo · 18/01/2020 09:43

Morning Ladies,
@TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge wishing you a very happy birthday!

@Nonny87 how are you feeling has AF arrived? Hoping not for you xx

I’m feeling a bit crap today if I’m honest... emotionally.... hate this 2WW and because I’m not sure when I ovulated it’s just a guessing game... basically my 10dpo starts today or doesn’t start until Monday! So I’ll basically be testing between now and then. I’m feeling normal if I’m honest a bit of discomfort in my lower abdomen but starting to feel like it’s all in my head. No change to CM from what I can tell (I wear pantyliners daily so never really sure).
AF is due 25/26 but I’m expecting to see her now more than a BFP.
