Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

They said it should be reabsorbed gradually but I may get more spotting. Nothing to worry about

LS2020 · 19/03/2021 14:38

Aww @Sunbird24 congratulations!
What have the advised on the bleed?

Sunbird24 · 19/03/2021 14:17

Aww, keeping things crossed the emotionalness is not AF arriving - I’ve turned into a frequent cryer over the last few weeks.
One of my two embryos has implanted and is measuring 6 weeks, with a little fluttery heartbeat. The other has been absorbed, but I also have an area of bleed which accounts for the spotting.

LS2020 · 19/03/2021 13:29

Aww @mrswilso I’m feeling you. Had a massive sob watching what to expect when you’re expecting on Netflix yesterday and having a pity day with Doritos today to feel better. I think it’s the rubbish part of lockdown where it’s still a little while til it gets better but still too cold to go for any big walks or anything to get out the house.
Hoping you have a nice relaxing weekend - when is AF due? Tomorrow?

mrswilso · 19/03/2021 12:58

Thinking of you today @Sunbird24

CD30 for me, 13dpo, AF no show yet, BFN this morning FMU. Feeling extremely bitter and miserable today, could actually fully cry at the drop of a hat 😔 can't shake it off...
Gonna have lots of wine and hot baths this weekend.

LS2020 · 17/03/2021 12:02

Oh just seen you’re 6 weeks, maybe not on hpt as get the hook effect. Hopefully the scan will provide you some reassurance ❤️

LS2020 · 17/03/2021 12:01

@Sunbird24 it’s probably a mental reaction/protection as you’ve faced loss before. How many weeks are you now? Maybe do a HPT to reassure? If it helps, the week and half I was pregnant I felt sooo pregnant, nausea the lot and it wasn’t to be so I wouldn’t worry too much!

Sunbird24 · 17/03/2021 11:44

I dont know if it’s hormones or what today but I keep thinking I don’t feel pregnant. I’ve booked a private scan for Friday (6+5) because I can’t imagine waiting another 2 weeks for the one with the clinic without losing my marbles 🥺

LS2020 · 17/03/2021 10:38

@Sunbird24 @Ughmaybenot yeah exactly! I’ve got my day 3 bloods next week so will see what those results say and then might look into a private HSG as still not doing on NHS so it’ll be holding full referral. I feel a bit silly as I’m really holding out to do naturally

Ughmaybenot · 16/03/2021 14:17

I know what you’re saying @LS2020, on the one hand, that’s good news for sure but also frustrating because there’s still no clear reason!

Hope you’re getting on okay @Sunbird24 x

It’s a rollercoaster of emotions isn’t it @mrswilso and every time it’s impossible not to get your hopes up. I know it never mattered how many times I told myself to stay chilled, it never happened!

Sunbird24 · 16/03/2021 09:42

I know what you mean @LS2020. It’s good news of course, but still leaves you with that big unanswered question...

LS2020 · 16/03/2021 08:42

Had my internal scan done - all ok, this process is so annoying with everything coming back okay ugh!

LS2020 · 15/03/2021 12:55

Don’t know what’s going on with me today, feel like someone’s kicked me in the uterus. So painful 😩

LS2020 · 14/03/2021 21:10

@Sunbird24 glad to hear no more bleeding ❤️

@mrswilso maybe! Though with the way my stomach has been cramping today with infection not sure much is going to happen this month 😣 keep imaging I’m going to go for my scan on Tuesday and they’ll be like ooh we see something but know they can’t spot anything that early!

mrswilso · 14/03/2021 13:53

🥰 aaah I love this group so much! ✨

Sunbird24 · 14/03/2021 13:34

@LS2020 & @mrswilso have a virtual socially distanced hug - I would have been 24 weeks

mrswilso · 14/03/2021 12:46

@Sunbird24 sooo glad to hear it 😘 please please try not to stress ❤️

mrswilso · 14/03/2021 12:46

Yeah I've already had a wee private teary moment this morning too @LS2020 - 28 weeks yesterday 😔
But onwards!
...maybe we are all destined to fall at the same time after all? 🤭🤫 SHHH SHUT UP WILSO! 🤣

Sunbird24 · 14/03/2021 11:46

Seems to have stopped...

LS2020 · 14/03/2021 11:31

@mrswilso don’t I’ve actually lost it. I’m fully convinced this month and don’t know what’s up with me. I think I’ve got a thrush infection again and same, last time I had one was the week before my BFP and swear I felt sick this morning. I’m 3dpo, my body doesn’t even know it yet, I’m being so daft 😂 I feel really smug and I’m like wtf is wrong with me?!
Finding Mother’s Day really hard though considering I should be about 30 weeks and enjoying my final months and feel I have nothing to show for it. Also sick of every celebrity having a baby at the moment 😂

mrswilso · 14/03/2021 10:56

Hahaha @LS2020 - I was actually thinking I was doing okay with not symptom spotting AT ALL so far but this morning I woke up at 6.30am for a pee (my first symptom last time) and then got up at 9am ravenous and made a bowl of muesli while I was still half asleep which I NEVER do - usually need an hour or so to wake before I'm hungry...also I'm 7/8do and I've had a nice little 1bpm drop in RHR (implantation?) and now that I think of it I defo had a pulling/stabbing in my lower back yesterday around 5pm 🤔🤣🙈
DO NOT ENCOURAGE MY CRAZINESS!!! I'll only end up sobbing in 4/5 days time 😭🤣

Yeah @Sunbird24 I'm sure brown is less worrying - it may be some old blood from implantation?? Relax today and take it easy though, try not to stress about it ❤️

LS2020 · 14/03/2021 07:05

@mrswilso feeling you, I’m only like 3dpo and I’ve already started googling my “symptoms”😂 though I finished work yesterday for a week off and my RHRs dropped massively, obviously relaxing, so taken that as a bad sign 😩

@Sunbird24 brown is normally okay as that’s old blood, how’s it progressed overnight?

Sunbird24 · 13/03/2021 22:45

Hoping I didn’t do it too soon, now having a brown discharge that I’ve never had before. Still two weeks until my scan.

Sunbird24 · 13/03/2021 20:08

Everything crossed for you @mrswilso!
I’ve told my parents as I’m visiting them for the weekend, just as well as I’ve spent the afternoon asleep on the sofa!

mrswilso · 13/03/2021 19:00

Hiyaaa ☺️ im doing okay thank @Ughmaybenot
CD24 and think I'm probably around 6/7dpo - I've found it harder to resist POAS this cycle but I'm still holding out and reminding myself how pointlessly early it is 🤣
Hope you and @Sunbird24 are keeping well 🥰
Sending lots of love to you too @LS2020 😘
