@Buns05 I find when posting a pic i have to press “post” twice and wait a few minutes and it’ll upload! It never uploads straight away for me always a good few minutes.

Leobaby · 27/07/2020 15:43

@Mrschips07 omg I can imagine! I love cheese too ahh! That’s so rubbish! I had HG with mine I lost too much weight, obviously I was very young as well it was all too much for me at the time so didn’t carry on with it. I know I have HG to look forward too this time too 😭

Buns05 · 27/07/2020 15:30

I'll keep you posted tomorrow! Wish it would post the pic I wanted it too!!

beckyBP · 27/07/2020 15:30

@abbfabb it really is!! We did absolutely nothing other than DTD 😂 last month (first cycle) and it didn't work so I'm up for trying more this month!

No didn't bother with the gender ones! I don't mind what I have.

There are so many things that recommend so many different things but I've seen great feedback from these from people saying they've been trying for years and finally caught after trying these so going to give it a whirl! Xx

Think I'm 8-9dpo at the moment. Tested this morning and BFN. From around Wednesday last week through to about Friday Saturday I had pinching pains on my left side. Almost like someone was nipping from the inside, it was sort of a stinging feeling. Felt a little nauseous and had the twinge in my boobs and CM has gone from egg whites to thin and milky although today when I went to the toilet it was more of a pale yellow and like thinnish lotion like in texture and appearance. No idea where my cervix is though. I wouldn't know what it felt like it it smacked me in the face. I did have a sort of route around and felt like a round ball quite low down into my vagina but I don't know that was it or not. Today my boobs have being a lot more sorer and I'm trying to pinpoint if this was how they felt in my last Pregnancy or if it's just how they feel before my period is due. Also felt very nauseous again today. Last time I didn't test until my period was a week late. This time I missed Julys completely and Ovia doesn't have August on there. Definitely holding out now until Monday to test again. Some moments I feel really hopeful that I am Pregnant and other times I don't. Part of me thinks we missed the window of opportunity and all these little niggly pains are all in my head because I want to be Pregnant so much and time is fast running out for us

@beckyBP oh my god so many things its so overwhelming isnt it! did you order the thing that tells you when you should DTD for girl or boy too? ive never heard that concept before😱 i do find it all interesting whether or not its true its really intriguing isnt it😂

fingers crossed they work for you!

Mrschips07 · 27/07/2020 15:22

@Leobaby honestly I was gutted 😂 I love a milky tea and I LOVE cheese. No dairy and no alcohol, I think I was at my lightest weight when I was pregnant 🙈😂

Ahhh @Mrschips07 that’s so strange!😂 yes I didn’t really have many symptoms at all leading to my bfp. But that’s so weird that you became lactose intolerant! I love my tea lol!

beckyBP · 27/07/2020 15:14

@abbfabb I have heard of it but haven't tired! I've just ordered these..

www.luisazissman.co.uk/?p=647 spent £50 😂🙈

Mrschips07 · 27/07/2020 15:10

@abbfabb do a search on here, lots of people rave about it. I haven't personally used it.

@Leobaby I remember really weird things like being bloated on a car journey and having to undo my jeans, can't have been more than 6-7dpo at that point. My boobs were really sore second time round, but they are big Blush so tend to get sore a lot anyway.

When I was pg with my son I was lactose intolerant randomly. So now I am drinking tea with trepidation 😂

abbfabb · 27/07/2020 15:06

has anyone heard of a product called pre seed? sooo many reviews of people saying they conceived first time of using it but i do question whether a company has paid for these reviews or if they’re genuine🤔

Leobaby · 27/07/2020 15:04

@Mrschips07 exactly, that’s what I keep doing too! All I remember from the times that I was I had sore boobs and the smell of meat was disgusting. Can’t remember If that was before or after my missed period tho. Spotting on day of af when I got my bfp. So now this is all I look for although I always have bloody sore boobs as pms!😭

Mrschips07 · 27/07/2020 14:59

@leobaby Yes same! First time I was pregnant I didn't know til 15weeks, I was young and had a termination. With my son I knew right away, way before a positive test - it was our first month TTC. I keep comparing this to now.

@Leobaby, we have all been there, try not to be hard on yourself, biology sucks!

@Buns05 congratulations, so excited for you!!

LT103 · 27/07/2020 14:54

@Buns05 ohhh how exciting. Keep us posted when you test tomorrow!!

Leobaby · 27/07/2020 14:52

That’s very true @Mrschips07 funny thing is I fell pregnant very easily before more than once without even trying when I was younger so it’s crazy! (TTC no.1 now tho)

@LT103 I know I’ve read that too. Was a cheapie so maybe a faulty test. Maybe it was a chemical for you last month? Thank you though, 2 days to go. Temp much higher than normal today though. Not looking into it too much lol. Hope you get your bfp soon too!

@abbfabb thank you my love, that’s helpful. I will do that if af arrives. Bless you I’m sorry its taking so long for you as well. I hope you get your bfp soon. Thank you lovely 🥺❤️

abbfabb · 27/07/2020 14:29

@Leobaby i read on a fertility blog that when AF comes when trying to conceive its really important to allow yourself a day or so to feel however you want to feel, give yourself some you time and some space and it has really helped me these past 11 months!

AF hasnt arrived for you yet so keep all fingers and toes crossed still as we all are for each other and dont be blaming yourself💖

Buns05 · 27/07/2020 14:26

Thanks going to a digital one in the morning I think to make sure!

Mrschips07 · 27/07/2020 14:25

@Buns05 Thats brilliant! Congratulations!

Buns05 · 27/07/2020 13:53

@Mrschips07 I've tried to post a message on here, it said it's posted but it hasn't!! Just taken an Asda test and it's looking positive to me Smile

LT103 · 27/07/2020 13:46

@Leobaby it’s rubbish. I’d read that false positives are rare. But I got a positive at 11 dpo last month. Pink line came up instantly so not an Evap but then only negatives after and wasn’t pregnant and I’ve read of lots of people getting positives followed by negatives since then. Hope you get your bfp and af stays away!!!

Mrschips07 · 27/07/2020 13:45

Don't worry I know I'm being extremely mad at this point.

I'm going to try and hold off for a good 5 days now and then perhaps test again.

@Buns05 any news?

@Leobaby You're not letting anyone down! It just isn't as easy as sex education at school would have us all think. Lots of trials and tribulations.

Leobaby · 27/07/2020 13:00

@Bluesky2021 I’m with you right now. Ever since I got that positive at 7dpo/8dpo I’ve been testing negatives since. Not every day just every couple days. Af due Wednesday so i’m sure If I was I’d get a bfp by now. So preparing myself for disappointment. Feeling very down today, had a little cry. I normally get emotional so really do think af is gonna come. It’s crap because I feel like I’m letting my OH down every time. ☹️ Oh the joys.

abbfabb · 27/07/2020 12:48

@dano99 its just so hard not to get caught up in it all isnt it!😂 i know its no good to us but i try to justify it by telling myself its me trying to be organised

how is your ttc journey going? 🤞🏻

LT103 · 27/07/2020 12:35

@Mrschips07 there’s something there but it is super early. Hope it progresses. I’ve still got sore boobs and sore nipples tho a bit less so. Usual progesterone signs of bloating and gas that I always get (tmi sorry) but no plan to test before Saturday I don’t think haha

@Bluesky2021 I’m not spending too much. I got a mixed box of ic opk and hcg tests and I have 2 frer that I’ll take only if I see something on the cheapies. Making sure I limit myself and don’t go crazy 😂😂
