Afternoon ladies! Here we are, once again, biting our nails down to the quick during the TWW! 😂

We’re TTC after losing our first baby at 24 weeks in January 💔 but trying to stay positive, even though we’re now on cycle 5. Lots of frustrations around this as everybody else appears to be popping them out easily!!

I am trying to distract myself through dieting and healthy eating, theory being that if I’m focused on not eating crap, and googling my next workout, I’m not wasting tests and symptom spotting... 😂

Really really hoping to have a successful month this month and test early on 21st, because how lovely would it be to tell my wonderful husband I’m pregnant on Father’s Day? Well aware AF isn’t due until 24th, but a girl can dream, right?

Anyway, feel free to share your crazy with me here, or give me hope with some success stories! Also, I am very much a fan of “line eyes” threads, so hit me up with your squinters!! 🧐

Happy waiting, girls! 🥰

@emiliet123 it was looking so good. I dunno what happened but wel?...we move!

Hopefully this month will bring us good news. Fingers crossed for you. Let me know how it goes 🤗

Ohhh no I’m so sorry @mansah2 😖 it was all looking good as well, wasn’t it?

Ah maybe a month off might be what you need hey? Just to relax for a while and enjoy trying. Although I could be talking out my arse, I dunno. 🙈

I had a crazy faint line today - so faint it only showed up when I was messing around with picture settings. So I’m hanging fire a day or two before I test again. It’s our 2nd wedding anniversary today so I’m hoping it’s the end of things being a bit pants.

@emiliet123

Hey everyone, just thought I would check in and say hello! Wondered how those with BFPs were getting on? And how those who were trying again were doing?

I’m a few days away from AF now, no BFP yet but just staying positive where I can. Managed to persuade hubs to put the house on the market so that’s a welcome distraction!!

Hi there. Been a while. Didn't go well for me as AF showed up on CD 37 🤦‍♀️. I am already tired. Cd 15 and no sign of ovulation as I've gotten negative opks so far. My opks are done now and so I'll just rely on luck. I ovulated on cd19 last month so I'm at a loss.

@mansah2 I've got small amounts of dark brown discharge today, so unfortunately that always leads to AF for me.

Leobaby · 22/06/2020 12:32

@mansah2 *testing

Leobaby · 22/06/2020 12:32

@mansah2 yes I did think that. Maybe keep resting for a couple of days, and if you’re unsure request bloods from your doctor

😂 ahh @MyGossip my husband actually turned around yesterday and was like RIGHT fuck this app, it’s obviously inaccurate, we’re gonna have sex every other day without fail and we’re making a goddamn baby next month!! 🤣 I told him he can fuck off if it’s gonna be a pump and dump situation - I might be desperate but I don’t want to end up hating sex! I might start googling sex challenges to keep it fun and make him work a bit harder for it 😂

@emiliet123 oh yes 😂😂 and lots of DTD. How could I forget!?

Cheers girlies - yesterday was a tough one, cried all morning, drank all the wine and then cried all night to my parents as well! Never in my life did I think I’d be telling my mum and dad about my periods every single month 😂 to be fair, they’re both lovely about it, they want me to be pregnant again ASAP!

Hiya @holb54 welcome to the club - where are you at in your cycle? (LOL such personal questions and nobody’s even bought you a drink yet). It’s not so bad for the first few months, it’s if you get a little down the lines it starts getting harder, BUT positive vibes, you won’t get to that point!

@MyGossip hmmm I think you might have missed a key element out there but I just can’t put my finger on it... 🤔

OP posts:
mansah2 · 22/06/2020 09:25

Hi @holb54 you're welcome. Do you have any idea when you ovulated?

@MyGossip oh yeah I plan on doing that. My sorry is I'm told hcg supposed to double up every 48hrs so I'm not sure. AF is due on different days on two apps; today and on Saturday so I'm not too sure. But I'll just hold on

mansah2 · 22/06/2020 09:17

@Leobaby yes I think it's gotten a darker since the last time but if it's been a week shouldn't it be much more darker? Forgive me but I'm so anxious

MyGossip · 22/06/2020 07:50

Aw ladies, sorry to those who AF has arrived. Keep positive, take your vitamins, keep healthy and fit, eat ALL the pineapple, do your OPKs and it will happen!! ❤️❤️

@mansah2 it's definitely darker!! Maybe retest towards the end of the week so you get a really strong line? Good luck!!

holb54 · 21/06/2020 23:21

Hope it's not too late to join girls! First month TTC baby #1 and I don't know how some of you ladies to it, I'm so nervous! Best of luck to you, hopefully we'll all have some good news soon 🥰

Leobaby · 21/06/2020 23:20

@mansah2 it definitely has gotten darker since the last one you took. Definitely pregnant, but of course it’s always good to see the lines getting darker for reassurance! Congrats!

mansah2 · 21/06/2020 22:42

So this is what I got today. AF is due tomorrow by My period calendar and on 27th when I logged in my ovulation on Flo. I'll give it one more week

@Nottherealslimshady sorry about that but yes it's always better to be organized

I'm so sorry @emiliet123 just take it easy and start looking out for your opks next month.

@HellloBambinos you still have more time so let's wait and see. Wishing you all the best

@CurbsideProphet you're not out until you're out stay positive.

@AdriannaP best of luck for next month

AdriannaP · 21/06/2020 16:51

I have also started spotting yesterday (AF due Tuesday), so pretty sure I am out. 😞

Leobaby · 21/06/2020 15:13

@emiliet123 aw no! bless you. Good luck for next month! X

CurbsideProphet · 21/06/2020 13:26

Hi @mansah2 🙂
I'm 10 dpo. As it's cycle 8 I'm just expecting that AF will come on Weds 🤷🏻‍♀️

Slippingcareer · 21/06/2020 11:23

@mansah2 I think I’m out this month, starting to spot which is normally a sign AF is on the way. How are you?

HellloBambinos · 21/06/2020 10:14

Hey @mansah2 I'm all good thnx! I did a test on Thursday at 8DPO and it was negative so I've decided I'm not going to test again and just wait for AF. She's due either tomorrow or Tuesday but I feel crampy and have my usual period chin spot so defo don't think this is my month!

😭😭😭 well that was a quick turnaround - my delightful AF arrived early. Fuck!

Just had a BFN on a FRER, AF not due till Saturday but I feel like I'm out so I've ordered some OPKs for next month. Bit gutted but it's more time to get organised.

Congratulations to everyone getting the BFPs this month :)
