August might be pact might be madness part 2

@Sansa87 big hugs! I hope everything is ok. If you’re still worrying tomorrow then def worth giving them a call to see what they say. I can see why you’re worried after last time

Glad baby is doing well @LeopardLover! 🥰

@Sansa87 Just popping on to give you a big virtual hug! My nausea and sore boobs disappeared at 6 weeks and my cramping has been consistent. I had an 8 week scan at the weekend and baby was doing well! Try to pluck up the courage to call the EPU. Sending you lots of love x

Oh @Sansa87, big hugs lovely 💙 I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to call EPU, but the sooner you do then the sooner you’ll know what’s going on. Then you’ll be on their books and they can monitor you closer. I’m sure you’ll be fine but totally get why you’re worried. I’ve read some people on here say their symptoms disappeared in the middle of the first trimester then they returned with a vengeance.

Look after yourself tonight, have a relaxing bath, snuggle with OH and watch something silly x

Just an update: my symptoms are fading, boobs are not as hArd as yesterday, & no nausea today. I woke up from a dream I had a mc, and I have suffered from more intense cramping than usual today, I had to get a manager to drive me home from work this morning. I’ve had slight brown discharge.

Really feeling shit right now. Paracetamol isn’t doing anything for the period like pain.

I haven’t called EPU as I think I’m too scared to go through it alone again. I don’t know, full of anxiety.

My mind frame right now is I’ll be joining you in the October group. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. X

Now a late cycle will possibly cause you more stress @claireb707! Maybe wait another week then see your GP?

I know what you mean @kirinm, like I want to take a step back from all of this to try and de-stress but don’t want to leave this group either!

Sorry I should've said I have had positives on CD11 but just checked my calendar and it's not always been CD11 so maybe I've not ovulated yet.

@claireb707 how frustrating! Have you ever been this late before?

@whambam89 sorry AF arrived.

I have no idea if I've ovulated or not. The only day I didn't test is CD11 which is normally the day I get a positive so i could have ovulated then but I have no idea. I think if I got pregnant now I'd be panicking massively.

Subject to what I find out about this cmv I may have to put ttc on hold. I may do for October regardless. I'll stay on whatever thread everyone is on as I've been on this thread since June? And if would feel weird not being on it!

Wtf is going on @claireb707? Do you think it might be stress or something that’s delaying it? 😕

Sorry for AF @whambam89 😔

@claireb707 how strange!

Well my body was just playing tricks on me, nothing all night last night but AF is fully here this morning 😴

@whambam89 bodies are arseholes aren’t they

@Sansa87 I think AF will turn up in full flow soon enough, this has just literally never happened to me before... Will update in the morning x

You won’t look stupid, we’ve all been there @whambam89 I’m still terrified going to the toilet, & now make sure I wear black underwear 😂

You’re not out until your out. There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of hope ❤️

@Sansa87 I have a short LP usually 10/11 days. I'd say I'm 11dpo today based on what I'm sure were ovulation cramps but if I went off OPKs I'd be 10dpo. So I'd be due today/tomorrow/Wednesday. I'm now putting off going to the loo again as I feel like AF is going to have turned up with a vengeance because I dared have a little hope and then I'll just look stupid hahaha x

When are you due @whambam89?

Probably my body playing tricks on me but I've literally only had a bit of pink when I wiped since 2.30 and just been to the loo again and there's pretty much nothing, just the slightest pink tinge - AF usually starts in full flow for me but like I said, my body is probably playing tricks on me as it's thrown out every other symptom in the last 4 months... Is there any chance at all that this could be implantation do you think?? Clearly just holding on to every bit of hope 😂 I'm 10/11dpo x

@MrsBtobe2019x I also really don't think it's possible to distract your mind from it when it's something you want so badly!

@MrsB2019x pizza is an excellent idea 😂 I know that I feel worse right now than I will in a few days because hormones but I'm just finding it so so hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel with it all - I also realise that's very OTT because 4 cycles in the grand scheme of things is nothing, even if you add the 3/4 cycles before the ectopic and the months we weren't allowed to try it's not a lot in comparison to what some people go through. Just going to wallow in self pity for a day or 2 then brush myself off and start again I suppose!

So sorry @whambam89 💙 totally understand how you feel. Might I recommend pizza..? 😂 I am 100% with you on stepping back, I don’t have any more OPK’s in the house and won’t be ordering any more either. I don’t understand how we are supposed to distract our mind from it though, I was thinking of starting a separate thread about it cos I don’t even know where to start. Treat yourself tonight lovely x

@kirinm That sounds quite helpful from your GP, hopefully you get a response soon

Nothing to add, but just wanted to offer a huge group hug ❤️

Thanks for all of the support ladies ❤️

I have ordered a home sperm test for OH which he is happy to do. Has anyone else done one and have any tips on 'collecting' a sample with such a tiny cup?! 😂. He wants me to help out lol
