Testing around 13th May

Thanks so much for the welcome :)
Yes it definitly is, very difficult to not be consumed when your stuck at home unable to visit friends and family. Hopefully we will see lots of BFP's when the tests start!

@ktl1a welcome! Wishing you all the luck and everyone else! I woke up feeling really negative but after reading some stories and people's experiences it's made me feel better...

I'm 7DPO too and for the last 2-3 day I've been having a belly ache, hot flushes and am soooo tired... I just really not sure if it's me imagining it all though!

I'll be testing on the 13th xx

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining in. I am approx 7dpo (tried relaxing this cycle so didn't do ovulation tests) and so far have literally no symptoms. I usually feel something in the tww but this cycle there's literally nothing (other than the odd twinge but I get those throughout my cycle regardless so have learnt to ignore them). AF is due any day from Tuesday next week as my cycles can range from 25 to 31 days, I will hold out to 31 days to test... I just can't stand seeing a BFN! I had a MMC at the start of the year after 18 months of trying, this is my third proper cycle. Wishing you all loads of luck, hopefully we will all get to see two lovely lines on our tests soon!

@LKSF yeah it’s difficult when people around you seem to get pregnant at the drop of a hat, how people do it is beyond me 😂 Yeah we’ve been together 8 years, trying for nearly 2 now, surely it’s our turn soon haha
@MissH123 Yes our first too ☺️
@Skyla01 yeah that sounds like a good idea actually I’ll try that. I do regular yoga most days and before lockdown I was going to fertility reflexology which was great. Part of it was all about visualising your body going through the changes from start to finish of pregnancy, was so relaxing ☺️

Hi Ladies! AF due 15th for me but I'll deffo test before then, probably around 11th or 12th lol I'm only 6dpo 🤦‍♀️

@Skyla01 I haven’t tried this before but it sounds right up my street. What’s so weird about this whole journey is that I’m usually really positive - if I want to achieve something, I’ll visualise it, think about it, work to make it happen (lol sound like Beyoncé). But in this I haven’t followed it at all.

@Sussexbysea I shouldn't test until the 14th but with my birthday on the 11th and wedding anniversary on the 12th I'm not sure I can wait. I'm also on night shifts next week and don't want to make myself miserable with a bfn. I find it's not as bad to get AF than to get a bfn! To be honest even with the few little symptoms I've had which let's face could just be pms I'd be flabbergasted if I got a bfp! I feel like the universe owes it to me after 21 cycles 😂

Fingers crossed your symptoms aren't due to your thyroid 🙏🏻 xx

@BernadetteSunday Oh why do we do this to ourselves, how can you not think about it every single minute of the day!!! I know what you mean, I always think about what it’s like for ppl to finally see that second line...must be the most exciting feeling!! X
@Skyla01 before the lockdown I was doing yoga to try help keep me calm and also acupuncture which helped me keep a positive spirit. X

It is hard to imagine those 2 lines when you've had so many months of AF arriving bang on time.

Have you ever thought of trying visualisation / meditation? I do a bit with fertility yoga videos I found on YouTube. It's about developing a belief & trust that you will have your baby one day. It has helped me keep negative thoughts at bay.

I’m only 10DPO and promised I wouldn’t POAS until Monday or Tuesday but caved this morning. BFN - meh. Why do I do this?

It’s too early and for all I know because I ovulated like 5 days later than usual, AF may be 5 days later too. Uggggghhhhh

@LKSF me too, really can’t imagine ever seeing another line. I must have POAS 100 times in 10 cycles. Even not associating it with pregnancy, just seeing another line after 100 blank would be shocking. Like a magic trick!

Thank you @LKSF 💕
Yes, we're currently trying for our 1st🤞🏽
Got my fingers and toes crossed for us all this month x

@MissH123 @LT87 You’re not alone, I can’t ever imagine getting a positive test! We all have to keep positive though, I’m sure so many people thought the same and then they got their positives so it WILL happen for us 🤞🏼 Will this be your first baby? X

@LT87 that's exactly it, I just can't even imagine getting a positive?!
And it's so hard because my brother and his girlfriend have just had their baby and they weren't even trying (they had only been together a few months so was a surprise bubba) and I'm so happy for them and love my niece but so damn jealous!!! Me and my partner have been together 5 years and feels like we have been trying forever☹️ I just get in my own head sometimes! Trying to stay positive xx

Morning @MissH123
I know how you feel, each month when it gets closer to AF arriving I just can’t ever imagine myself getting a positive. Keep trying to remind myself there’s no reason why I wouldn’t and staying as positive as possible but it’s hard some days. Hope we’ll all have some luck this month ☺️

Morning ladies, hope your all okay!
Woke up this morning feeling really deflated!! AF is not due until the 16th but I just have a gut feeling this isn't my month☹️ does anyone else get like that? X

@Sussexbysea I woke at 3.30 after having the strangest dreams. Went for a wee and eventually got back off to sleep at about 5. No more spotting but tons of wind! Going for a number two like normal though so I reckon the witch is due not a baby! My monthly spot that came up yesterday has gone this morning which is strange and as it usually a beacon! How about you? How are you feeling? Xx

@Skyla01 I wish it is but I'm so sceptical now after 21 cycles! Grrr I've actually felt pretty good today, had a light headache and been bloated but nothing out of the norm, will see what tomorrow brings 🙏🏻

@LKSF would be great If we could conceive meantime without needing any intervention- fingers crossed!

@hayho87 could be an implantation bleed?

Ladies, this is a weird one! I've had the teeniest tiniest dot of blood when I wiped, at least I think it's blood. It was literally the size of pin head. I do have red underwear on today but I tried to pull it off the paper and it was in the paper if that makes sense 🤔 my logical side says don't be stupid it must be a bit of cotton, but the dreamer wants to think it isn't! I'm 8dpo today 😑

@Sussexbysea We have been to a fertility clinic and had tests done which were all positive and they’re seeing if they can send us down the IVF route.

@Skyla01 Hopefully not but I just feel exactly how I normally do the day before my AF! Oh well maybe next month! I’ve heard things are moving again at the end of the month with fertility tests etc so hopefully you’ll be able to have all your tests done soon, I’m sure they’ll all be fine but it good just for peace of mind 🤞🏼

@LT87 yes I know exactly what you mean about disappointing people, it really does feel like you’re letting ppl down :(
