@Sparkl I'm sorry I couldn't see the picture last night, I've just scrolled back and looked, that's amazing news congratulations. I'm so happy for you .... after 6 moths of trying you must feel so relieved and happy. Xxx

@MilsCookie I also always look at my due date cd1 - I thought I was the only one 😂😂😂 I'm really going to try not to test this month unless I'm late. Don't think it's this month though. I haven't got any and cos of lockdown it's harder to go out and I don't have prime (it's in my husbands name) so I'm really going to try.

Has af arrived @SunnySideUp2020? Fx for you that she's staying away!!! Also high five for giving up coffee. I don't know if I could do that. I mean I do have Nescafé decaf if I have another cup in the day and it's perfectly fine but just that end taste isn't the same. I had a few (maybe 4 maybe not 🤔) g&ts yesterday across the fence with our neighbours and I really didn't want to drink as I haven't for a couple of weeks - I think probably this cycle - but it's was so sunny and they went down so well. Even though last time I did conceive around xmas and was heavy boozing every weekend but still.

Hi @melds22
Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish it's the absolute worst journey and the ups and downs are unbearable at times and especially when ppl around you are conceiving left right and centre. I feel like that's all I see on Facebook and Instagram is babies or baby announcements. It's too much.
So sorry for your miscarriage too 😞😞
I had a massive bleed about 2 weeks after mine (not af) completely out of the blue and I didn't even notice until I went to the loo so think it can be normal to bleed on and off for a bit. I was told to expect it. I've never seen so much though when I had it I was shocked especially as I felt nothing.
That's good that you've been chilled though I'd love to take that approach but when we have we ended up DTD at the complete wrong time so our relaxed approach selves can't be trusted 😂

Hey guys
Sorry I went AWOL but I've been feeling pretty down and not wants to drag anyone else under with me so kept away from social media and WA for a while (also coz my Mum friends are all now preggo with their 2nd). As happy as I am for them its also heartbreaking it's not me.
Massive congrats @Sparkl I'm so happy for you, you deserve it after 6 months!

Fingers crossed it's your time too @Fizzl

I randomly started spotting a tiny bit and v slightly yesterday and literally a drop today which is bizarre! I MC'd on 1st April and only bled for a week so too early for AF, stupidly been googling and reading theories about ovarian cancer etc..
Has anybody else had this?

Yep its defo true that when you stop trying it works, happened to me on all 3 pregnancies although only 1 gave me my DD!

I've been pretty chilled this month and DTD every other day but I doubt it's my time...

scrumdiddly123 · 23/04/2020 22:24

@Sparkl that’s a great line! Congratulations!

Ljm0101 · 23/04/2020 21:36

Hi ladies,
I'm glad I've found you all here, I went on the ttc April group but didn't recognise any names. @Sunnysideup2020 kindly pointed me in this direction, hope you're all well. I've been a bit quiet this month just been a bit fed up, af started today after being 13 days late .... I mean what the hell 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️!! Anyway hi I'm back haha. Xx

Whiffle77 · 23/04/2020 18:58

Oh @Leok83 I'm so sorry, that's so disappointing. Sounds like you have been handling it in completely the right way though! Make sure you keep treating yourself, you deserve it

Sparkl · 23/04/2020 18:19

@Leok83 I’m sorry to hear AF arrived. I know what you mean about being more bearable but it’s still hard. Thinking of you 💕

Sparkl · 23/04/2020 18:18

@sunnysideup2020 thank you!! I’m 13dpo today so will be trying not to get too excited yet.
I did not know that about caffeine 😬
Will have to give up my tea addiction

@MilsCookie thank you too! Due date is 1st Jan 2021 😬 according to my app. So hard not to think ahead to all the milestones, I have been doing it every cycle too!

SunnySideUp2020 · 23/04/2020 17:43

@leok ahh that sounds like something i would do! You deserve it 🙃

Well since i discovered after my mc that caffeine increased the risk i just switched to decaf tea and decaf coffee...
But i know they still have small amounts of it but it’s not tiny!

Leok83 · 23/04/2020 16:48

@SunnySideUp2020 thanks! I really hope ur wrong and ur not out too! Glad you got to enjoy a coffee tho! I had 2 g&ts and 1/2 a tub of Ben and Jerry’s I’ve cream for dinner last night after I’d started spotting and a massive creamy cupcake for lunch😬 better stop now before I make it a habit!! Are you off caffeine altogether normally or just coffee? I still drink I away at tea normally but maybe I should stop!

SunnySideUp2020 · 23/04/2020 16:43

I just had my first real coffee in 5 months.
🤩 that’s the good side of it.

SunnySideUp2020 · 23/04/2020 16:42

@MilsCookie my early tests have been telling me i am out though 😫😭

SunnySideUp2020 · 23/04/2020 16:41

@leok sorry AF is here. But as you say it’s probably a little more bearable if it wasn’t going to work out.
Sending you hugs x

Leok83 · 23/04/2020 16:37

@Annny27 thanks, AF came today so at least saves me retesting and I can start to move on now. Part of me is just grateful it happened now and not later down the line like last MC. This way is definitely more bearable.

MilsCookie · 23/04/2020 15:55

@Sparkl Oh my god YES!!! Congratulationssssssss!! SO happy for you my dear! Grin what's your due date? (I always look at mine on CD1 every month hahaha)

@Annny27 I'm not going to test either this month - definitely trying to wait for AF but I'm already getting twitchy! Got to stay strong though! And I also have 0 symptoms haha xx

@SunnySideUp2020 you're not out yet.... really hope AF stays away for you tomorrow!! xxx

SunnySideUp2020 · 23/04/2020 15:26

Ohh congrats @sparkl !!!!! Very nice line!
How many dpo are you??

🥳🌈😍

@Annny27 AF not here yet but should be tomorrow...

Sparkl · 23/04/2020 14:36

Thanks so much @TerribleImagination @GlitterFairy1412 @leok83 ! I’m still in shock!

@ChampooPapi yes so hard to believe it’s real! Yes he knows! Going to take it one day at a time anyway.
How are you doing?

Leok83 · 23/04/2020 13:38

@Sparkl wow that’s amazing !!! You must be just over the moon! And that’s definitely a good strong line! I’m so happy for you😊🎉💞🌈!!

TerribleImagination · 23/04/2020 13:22

YASSSS @Sparkl 😃😃😃 SO happy for you!! ❤️

ChampooPapi · 23/04/2020 12:21

@Sparkl oh my god! Congratulations 🎉💜 amazing! You must be so shocked and so happy and generally just like 'is this real!'. Have you told your partner? How are you feeling! Yay! So happy for you 🥰

GlitterFairy1412 · 23/04/2020 12:02

@Sparkl that's amazing! Congratulations on your BFP 🎉

@Annny27 no sign yet, doing a test on Sunday if it doesn't show 🤞

Sparkl · 23/04/2020 11:44

@Fizzl not to get your hopes up unnecessarily but that’s how I felt too, and still do have the pre AF aches, so there’s really no telling. I was sure there would be something different that would give me a hint, only thing was temp going for a day on 11dpo and back up as @Annny27 spotted!

Sparkl · 23/04/2020 11:39

Thank you all! I’m relieved and nervous at the same time! Six months of trying since mc, I’m very ready ☺️🌈 and hoping it all works out

And hoping this is a lucky month and we see some more bfps on here for all you lovely ladies 🤞🤞

Whiffle77 · 23/04/2020 11:36

Oh yes @Sparkl just seen this!!! Brilliant news, congratulations! How do you feel?
