Hey @Anny27 @ChampooPapi @BS9790 @Cruiser1 @mlax @ELM7 @SweetpeaOrMarigold !

I don’t think I’ve got everyone so please tag anyone else who is still in TWW/planning on testing from now - end of the month.

This is for when we run out of space on the other thread! Then from here we can move to the Feb group set up by @terribleimagination or hopefully a pregnancy thread 😊

On CD28 currently and did a test this morning - BFN. AF due CD33-34 so hopefully was just too early 🙈.

Baby dust to all! 💫🍀💖

But on the flip side I have found it really supportive and I'll always be thankful for that and being able to take to people going through the same thing and really get it.

GemLou88 · 25/01/2020 12:03

@Anny27 nothing today. But I'm positive now that I'm only 2dpo. I hate that I've ovulated late because it means it's really dragged out now until I find out if I've caught or I'm out. Going to try not to stress too much in this tww. I've give it a good go this cycle, nothing I can do now so what will be will be. How you doing today? You thought about testing again?

@Zoey36 anything today. Really hoping you don't have any spotting.

@MilsCookie I'm happy to keep in touch with everyone on a WhatsApp group. Would be nice to see how everyone gets on and everyone's journey.

@toomanyleggings how you getting on?

GoldenBauble · 25/01/2020 12:03

@Anny27 and @MilsCookie I've taken a bit more a step back from mumsnet (and googling in general 😂) over this past week or so and I do feel better for it. I still pop by occasionally and sometimes post on the feb thread as I want to see how everyone is doing but I don't think it was helping me reading things constantly. I'm feeling in a good place at the minute but I don't have the pressure yet of ttc.

@Anny27 hahaha he has probably learnt more than he ever knew about the female body in the last few months!! I do love mn and find it to be a very supportive place. It gives me comfort to know that other women are going through very similar situations and makes me feel less alone. But I wonder if I'd be less anxious if I just didn't use it at all? Might have a month off in Feb and see how I go haha. I still be here for now though cos I wanna see how the rest of us testing around now get on!! 💖

@MilsCookie if any man knows about cervical mucus he is welcome to join our conversations 🤣🤣🤣 in all seriousness, if I dont get my bfp this month, I will be spending less time on mumsnet as it does make me more anxious! So I see where your DP is coming from

@GemLou88 trying to think positively and NOT pee on any more sticks! 😂

@Anny27 how are you feeling today?

I'm on CD31 and no sign of AF yet (although not due till CD33-34).

The nausea thing is really confusing me. I know it can just be a PMS symptom as well, and surely if it was pregnancy related it would be because of the HCG levels (which u clearly don't have enough of yet if I am pg as I got a bfn last night) but this morning I took a sip of tea and it randomly nearly made me retch!!! I still have the weird taste in my mouth and it was all too much this morning 😷 I managed a few more sips but ended up leaving it. If I'm not pregnant i think it's soooo unfair how our bodies act as though we are getting our hopes up!!

Also, my DP gave me a bit of a lecture this morning about me spending too much time on MN 🙄. He doesn't get why I talk to strangers and said that what if they aren't actually women and they're some weirdo men 😳🙈. He said he thinks it's making me more anxious about TTC. I kind of see his point so I told him I would keep using it for this cycle (I.e. until bfp or AF shows) and then I might delete the app for a while 😔 I will be sad though!! Would love to stay in touch with you all on whatsapp if any of you would be keen 😊

@Zoey36 any spotting today? Hopefully not 🤞🤞🤞

@gemlou88 any more signs?

@milscookie yes its dishsartening and also so all consuming. I find I am talking about it and thinking about ttc 24/7 haha

@MrsB16 I wasnt talking about anyone in particular lovely - just generalizing. Sorry if it upset you however, was all meant light heartedly and 100% not aimed at anyone but still not cool if it did upset you xx
I actually think I must have missed your bfp as dont remember seeing it - congratulations however 💗 yes hope we are all joining that thread soon 🤞🤞

MrsB16 · 25/01/2020 08:29

@ChampooPapi @Anny27 think you ladies may have been talking about me yesterday with the bfp. I’m still here and have read everyones messages on both threads. Find it odd as I had commented a few times earlier on in the thread about my miscarriage and elsewhere on mn and my bfp did come as a complete surprise to me so was excited to post. I’m sorry if I appeared to be a troll but I can assure you I’m not, I just struggled to keep up with the thread and didn’t want to appear boastful by keep posting about bfp. Will be joining @becstarG group when I get past 9 weeks which is when I miscarried last time. Not quite sure why I’m explaining myself but didn’t want you to think I wasn’t genuine because I am and utterly thrilled to hopefully be carrying my first but also my rainbow baby and I will continue to watch the threads to hear all of your bfp news in the future.

GemLou88 · 24/01/2020 22:05

@Zoey36 fingers crossed no spotting. Completely agree with you about missing the naivety of it all. I can't wait to get pregnant again but I know when I do I'm going to be a lot more obsessive than I am now wishing for 2 lines. I'm going to be a nervous wreck.

@MilsCookie @Anny27 you're both still in. Positive thoughts. Don't discount anything until aunt flow shows. But the POAS addiction is real!

MilsCookie · 24/01/2020 21:43

@Anny27 so disheartening 😞 So envious of people who get early BFPs! Yeah exactly! I feel like the symptoms I have right now are similar to when I was pregnant, if not even more obvious! But that might be because my first pregnancy wasn't planned so I wasn't looking for the signs. Ohhhhhh the bliss of just POAS not expecting a bfp to then just get one!! I wish that could happen again! Fingers crossed for us both 🤞 we're not out till af shows ☺️

OP posts:
Anny27 · 24/01/2020 21:35

@MilsCookie ahh BFN are always disheartening:( yes its still early for you so if you can hold out then do :D I am gonna retest sunday morning (if AF doesnt arrive)

I feel pregnant too!! It's hard because we know what its like to be prehnant haha so relating it all back to it

@Anny27 my DP also doesn't get my desperate need to know, he's like 'just relax, your period isn't even late yet!!' And I'm just like 'I know but I need to know!!!!' 🙈

@Anny27 🙈🙈🙈🙈 when I got home I decided not to use the FRER and just used an IC because it wasn't my first pee of the day and got a very obvious BFN 😞. I have no idea when I ovulated but I'm assuming I'm between 8dpo and 11dpo so I'm really hoping it's just too early. I really 'feel' pregnant but maybe it's my body playing tricks on me 😞
Really want to try and wait for AF now but will test again on Tuesday AM if she hasn't showed. (If I can last that long!! 🙈)

Anny27 · 24/01/2020 19:54

@MilsCookie did you resist the urge to POAS?? Last night I literally slept 2 hours because I was so excited to test this morning 🙄🙄🤪🤪 my husband doesnt get it and my level of craziness:p

@Zoey36 hopefully the spotting stays away tomorrow!!

@GemLou88 I have a glimmer of hope remaining so I am not totally resounded to being out yet :)

@ChampooPapi hows it going?

MilsCookie · 24/01/2020 19:13

I think I've officially gone mad. I am now sat in a shopping centre having just bought a FRER wondering whether I should use it now in the shopping centres toilets or wait till the morning 🙈😂😳🤔

On CD30... so even if I didn't ovulate till CD21 (which I think would be the latest for me given that my cycles are usually 33-34 days) then that would mean I'm at least 9dpo today...

The urge to pee on a stick is rising!!!! Help me!!!!!

OP posts:
Zoey36 · 24/01/2020 17:12

@GemLou88 11dpo today. If I start spotting tomorrow then I know I'm out really. If I don't, I'll assume my period is late but secretly pretend I'm pregnant! It's mad how loss changes you. DD1, I tested 9dpo, got a BFP and it never crossed my mind that that line wouldn't result in a baby! Miss the naiveity!

MilsCookie · 24/01/2020 17:06

@Anny27 I can imagine hun. That's exactly how I would be feeling too because all you want to see is those two lines. I totally get it. I would say try to be optimistic if you saw a faint line but I know if it was me I'd be half expecting AF to show so that if I got an obvious positive test in a few days I'd be pleasantly surprised!! It seems that most people are out this month 😔

Yeah so weird about my app. I definitely think I've ovulated already cos CD30 is way too late! But we'll have to wait and see I guess.

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 24/01/2020 14:49

@ELM7 Sorry AF showed up. Sending hugs.

@Anny27 you might not be out yet. Like said you're not out until AF shows.

@Zoey36 what DPO are you now?

@MilsCookie confusing isn't it!! My AF is due next week, but I've definite ovulated late by my OPK kits. My app says I'm ovulating today but by the pain I got on my left side yesterday I think that's when I ovulated. Just hope that if I've ovulated late AF will be due later and I'm still in with a chance 🤞🏻

@toomanyleggings if you had a negative last week, then hopefully that means there's nothing left over from last pregnancy. I use 10mui tests from amazon that picked up left over products when the hospital tests didn't. If you now have that faint BFP on the 20mui hopefully it means this is a new pregnancy 🤞🏻 maybe test again in a few days and see if the line becomes darker x

Anny27 · 24/01/2020 14:18

@ELM7 sorry that AF arrived :( gutting!

@MilsCookie I was almost certain it was going to be positive. struggling not to cry today haha!

Yeah that's strange that your app is saying that! I think you would have ovulated by now!

@toomanyleggings I can deffo see a line! its so hard to tell if its residual or not! I ovulated my first cycle even when I had residual hcg so only time will tell. Hope it's a new pregnancy for you 🤞🤞🤞

toomanyleggings · 24/01/2020 13:52

I can't work out if this is a new pregnancy ( can you see the line?) or still from miscarriage. I had negative tests last week I thought on a cheapie (10mui) and this is a less sensitive brand (20mui)

Ffs my Flo app has gone completely mental!! I am now on CD30, period expected in the next few days based on previous cycles. Before now Flo was saying I ovulated a week ago. Now it's saying am ovulating today and has pushed my period right back!! It doesn't make any sense. Looks like it's going as crazy as I am in the TWW!! 😂😂😂

I have been logging creamy dc for the last 5 days or so. Do you think that might be why? Anyway I'm just going to ignore it because my cycles have never been that long! 🤔 unless this robot app really does know more about my body than I do?!?! 😳🤔

Ahhhh no @Anny27 and @ELM7 sorry to hear that 😞

Anny you might still just be too early if you implanted late. I know you got a bfp at 12dpo last time but each pregnancy is different so don't lose hope just yet. When is AF due? You're not out until she shows!! 🤞 for you 🍀🍀🍀

Littlegoth · 24/01/2020 08:34

@toomanyleggings yes I have to have 150Mg aspirin each night and as soon as I get a positive pregnancy test I’ll need to start heparin injections too x

Zoey36 · 24/01/2020 07:32

@GemLou88 I don't know about testing! I normally start spotting 12dpo so if that doesnt happen, I'd be tempted to test but I am so worried about seeing a BFN. I hate tests!

ELM7 · 24/01/2020 07:29

That’s me out for Jan. AF has arrived with a vengeance overnight. At least I have a day full of auditors to keep my mind occupied! (Never thought I’d be grateful for audit!)

Will be staying in the thread to hear of the BFPs still to come though.

@Anny27 i know you were hoping for a clear line this morning but FC a slither of a line gets darker and stronger for you.
