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?

@Ughmaybenot ahhh hope it goes well when it comes round and in the meanwhile enjoy your happy little bubble ❤️

Ughmaybenot · 13/03/2021 14:39

Yea I figured that might be the case but really wasn’t sure. Thank you @LS2020 😊

How are you doing @mrswilso ?

LS2020 · 13/03/2021 09:25

@Ughmaybenot I imagine what they’ll do is have you in at say “10 weeks”, they’ll do the scan and you’ll measure at 7 weeks and it’s that point they’ll revise your EDD for you. Just make sure you don’t go for your scan until 5 weeks after ovulation or they won’t see anything and will cause you a lot of heartache

Ughmaybenot · 12/03/2021 20:20

Same @Sunbird24 been sick of an evening quite a few times now!
@LS2020 so basically Altho I think I’m 4 weeks pg (conceived on the 26th February + 2 weeks) the midwife said im 7 weeks cause they always work it off your last period, which seems mad but okay. Means I get the dating scan a little quicker I guess? Apart from that she just booked me in for my first appointment on the 1st April, when she reckons I’d be just short of 10 weeks, just a phone call to just go through all my details, history etc.

LS2020 · 11/03/2021 21:39

@Ughmaybenot oh that’s cool, what have they said to you?

@Sunbird24 sometimes I think there’s so much pressure on things you should be feeling and people forget that some women don’t know they’re pregnant for weeks so it’s not uncommon to have mild symptoms. Keep rested and take of yourself. It’s really not too long away and hopefully will come around quick 🤞🏻

Sunbird24 · 11/03/2021 17:46

I’m mostly knackered with a side serving of mild nausea. It’s not the same symptoms I had last time, but as that was a blighted ovum it means I know those were down to the progesterone they had me on. So it’s kind of good?
It feels like a very long wait, I can’t imagine if I’d not had anything until the 12 week point...

Ughmaybenot · 11/03/2021 17:41

Aaah awesome @Sunbird24 not too long to wait!

@LS2020 I’ve got health shit going on which means it’ll be a c-sec so not quite as bad 😂 no, rang the midwife team direct.

LS2020 · 11/03/2021 17:38

@Ughmaybenot wait til you’re pushing two out and then say that 😂 aww that’s so exciting, did you go through GP?

@Sunbird24 oh my gosh that’s not long at all! How are you feeling?

Sunbird24 · 11/03/2021 16:45

I’ve got a scan booked with my ivf nurse for 29 Mar, I will be 8+1 if we stick that long 🤞

Ughmaybenot · 11/03/2021 14:03

@LS2020 honestly I’d be chuffed to bits with a twin pregnancy! Had to do it properly once I finally got there 😂 spoke to the midwives this morning, so exciting to get the ball rolling.

LS2020 · 11/03/2021 13:36

@Ughmaybenot you are super pregnant 😂🥰

Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...
LS2020 · 11/03/2021 13:33

@Ughmaybenot thanks love! Ooh that’s super strong. Maybe if you had a few eggs it could be twins 😉

Ughmaybenot · 11/03/2021 08:11

@LS2020 haha I know what you mean about the prospect of actual social events looming 😂 sending all the positive thoughts your way for this 😘

Done the digital test this morning! Pregnant, 3+! I’m definitely only two weeks since conception but it was so good to see it in actual words!

LS2020 · 10/03/2021 21:59

@Ughmaybenot tbh I think that requires more dedication! We were both off work today and decided we wanted to enjoy some time together before the lockdown eases and we have to start being social again 😂 thanks, going to keep up tomorrow and Friday and hopefully we’ll catch. I’ve had a couple of definitely duff cycles so hoping this months a normal one 🤞🏻I have my scan on Tuesday so wonder if they’ll be able to tell if I’ve ovulated

Ughmaybenot · 10/03/2021 21:15

Thank you sweetheart, that’s so kind 😊
Three times in a day?! Bloody hell, and there’s me being smug/altogether surprised at the five times over four days DH and I managed... Altho it did do the trick 😂 keeping everything crossed for you!!

LS2020 · 10/03/2021 20:57

Aww enjoy it @Ughmaybenot ❤️ Some of my best memories are those secret smiles. I’m so chuffed for you!!
Me and OH DTD 3 times today and got positive OPK so literally can’t ask for a better month 😂 so if this doesn’t do it I give up!!

Ughmaybenot · 10/03/2021 17:06

I think you’re probably right @LS2020 just can’t believe it now haha! Not yet, been working on the farm today but hopefully later! DH still seems in shock, like he can’t quite let himself believe it. Hopefully once I do the digital one, he’ll go with it more 😂

LS2020 · 10/03/2021 15:37

@Ughmaybenot it’s funny how these things are meant to be. I think there’s something with going through the process and knowing somethings happening that relaxes you and let’s it happen. Have you had a chance to do a digital? That was my fave bit that made it feel real

Ughmaybenot · 10/03/2021 11:39

Aww thank you so much @LS2020 that’s so kind of you 😘 I’m keeping everything crossed for you!! That’s great news!
Can’t really believe how lucky we were that when I had that internal scan they told me I was literally about to ovulate. If it had been like a couple of days later or she’d not said that to me at the time, we might not have timed it right this time either. Gets hard when cycles just go on and on 😂

LS2020 · 10/03/2021 11:36

Ooh and I’ve had some good news that Hycosys are starting up so should get mine soon 🙂

LS2020 · 10/03/2021 11:26

@Ughmaybenot still buzzing for you this morning ❤️ I’m due to O around now so given me so much hope

LS2020 · 09/03/2021 13:04

@Ughmaybenot ah fab a good time then! Yes get a digital but you’re probs about 2 weeks 🙂 ahh this has made my morning

Ughmaybenot · 09/03/2021 11:34

Thank you so much @mrswilso honestly I’m still grinning now. Taking everything I have not to shout about it at work 😂
This is so exciting @Sunbird24 💗

Sunbird24 · 09/03/2021 09:20

Seriously @Ughmaybenot they’re as dark as mine are today (I did one this morning in solidarity!)

mrswilso · 09/03/2021 08:30

Aaaah!!! @Ughmaybenot 🥳❤️ this has made my morning!!! 😘 proper tearing up for you!!
Wooooooow!!! 🤩🤩🤩
