August might be pact might be madness part 2

@whambam89 Sorry you've had so many flashing smilies - you've done so well though, definitely don't feel bad for taking a break - it's exhausting! Hopefully static will arrive tomorrow. 😊

We definitely need a little cross over thread! I'm doing okay, thank you. Time just seems to be going really slowly, and I'm wishing I felt more sick because that's considered a "good sign" but when I feel sick it's awful and I can't concentrate at work haha. I'm 6+5 today. Have a scan booked in for 8+2 so wishing the time away (it feels just like when I'd wish the TWW away!!). Xx

@whambam89 I had 9 days of flashing smilies this cycle, don’t lose faith ❤️

@LeopardLover how are you getting on? I know what you mean, we need a cross over category where those of us still TTC can be as well as everyone from the thread with a BFP!

@sansa87 that's definitely darker!

I've had 8 days of flashing smileys on the CB now which has made me lose faith in them a little bit! Started on CD12 and today (CD19) still flashing. We've DTD so far on CD14,16&18 and will do tomorrow CD20 hopefully will catch it..

Thanks @LeopardLover This group really is the best isn’t it ❤️

@LT103 I don't think I could persuade OH to DTD again tonight so let's hope there's plenty of swimmers hanging around waiting for my egg from the last few days!

@MrsB2019x @whambam89 I'm still here, silently checking on you all and wishing you lots of love! 😉 I guess I feel like I shouldn't be here but want to be check in on you ladies.

@Sansa87 Your initial symptoms symptoms sound very similar to mine! I know it's scary but I've read sooo many posts about brown spotting and it's usually only red that is sometimes a cause of concern (but often not). Sending you lots of virtual hugs! My cramps have never stopped btw. I had sore boobs and bloating at first, but I don't really have that now - just waves of nausea (and the cramps!). Xx

Sat mornig vs 2030hrs tonight... okay it’s a bit darker which has helped.

@whambam89 I know nothing about opk’s really. I just relied on the cb sticks to tell me when to do the naughty, but all the positive thinking!

Which idiot took a test at half 8 in the evening after drinking and wee’ing lots all day 🙄😂

It’s a Poundland cheapie, and there is a line, but it’s not that much darker than the one I took Saturday.

I definitely need distractions from my potentially hypochondriac ass 😂

I love you guys still want me around too. I love seeing how people are doing, cheering you on, & also have the support. I feel a bit out of place in the pregnancy threads too, & we’re all going on this journey together ❤️😘

@whambam89 I’d agree. Maybe peak was late last night/earlier this morning.

@Sansa87 I agree, I love hearing how people are doing once they get their bfp so it's nice you've stuck around!

I think looking at these OPKs that I may have got my peak yesterday afternoon / earlier this morning had I been using these rather than the CB - they seem to be fading slowly but surely and I've had a ridiculous amount of EWCM today (sorry tmi!) Will keep testing with them just to be sure

Yeah I’m glad you’ve stuck around @Sansa87 most of the others left as soon as they got pregnant! ☹️ Hope you are okay.

Good luck for testing @LT103 🤞

I’m 2DPO, such a boring time in the 2ww 😂 boobs are starting to hurt as usual now though!

@Sansa87 not all all!!! I hate the fact that once people get pregnant you never hear how things went!

@LT103 I haven’t rung my gp yet to inform them I’m pregnant. I felt like I was jinxing it it I did it early again 🙈

I hope you guys don’t mind me here, I think I’m my head I’m still ttc, desperately hoping this one sticks.

@Sansa87 sounds promising that no more spotting. Do you have your appointment for bloods yet?

@kirinm I don’t mind at all.

I was 5 weeks when I was starting to feel “wrong”

The pregnancy test as officially over at 6 weeks, but wasn’t confirmed until 8 weeks, then surgery at 10.

I know you never asked all that, but I never know how to answer it. Xx

@Sansa87 I don't think you have any reason to start thinking it's a miscarriage. It is very early days and symptoms will not necessarily kick in so you feel them all day for a few weeks.

If you don't mind me asking, how many weeks were you when you lost your earlier pregnancy?

I didn’t hear back from midwife, guessing because it was last pregnancy.

Still feeling a lot of af like cramps. But nothing when I wipe. Haven’t had any more nausea since I got to work this morning. Not feeling very fatigued today, which weirdly sucks. The only other thing is my boobs are starting to tingle. Of course that could just mean af, but I did get a strong positive test. I don’t understand chemical pregnancies if that’s what it is.

@LT103 I don't know why it's marked it as low! I could have missed my peak to be honest but we will DTD again tomorrow night to be sure. I can't imagine I'll get a static on CB this month now.

@sansa87 hope you're ok x

@Sansa87 how are things? Did you hear back from midwife?

@whambam89 When I get a line that dark my app always marks it as high. I think you’ll get your peak tonight or tomorrow! Good luck!!!

I’m maybe gonna test tomorrow. 9dpo and no spotting which is a record for me 🤣 think tomorrow will still be too early but I have a ton of cheap tests!!

@89Ann good luck - hope you get your BFP soon x

Hi everyone,

This is our first cycle TTC #3. Had the mirena coil removed 9th July. CD1 was 21st Aug and just started OPK's yesterday, I expect to ovulate Thurs or Fri.

It's so nice to see some of you getting your BFP's and hopefully we will all be there soon.

We are aiming for a summer baby so expecting a few practice cycles.

Hi All, hope you are all well. @Sansa87 sorry to hear you are stressing, I can only imagine, fingers crossed for a healthy pregnancy and baby for you. I haven’t been on here since friday, I spotted sat and sun so knew AF was on the way and she arrived yesterday. I have gotten myself in a real state this weekend which I know is ridiculous as it is month 3 but whether I like it or not this TTC malarky is having a massive impact on my mental health, I am thinking about it constantly every hour of the day. I am going to disappear from here as although you are all lovely it’s just another thing to keep TTC on the brain. I wish you all the luck on your journeys 😘

@kirinm I'll do another later! Now I know around about when I ovulate I think I'll stick to the cheapies in future. We DTD last night so hopefully if we do tomorrow too we'll be covered🤞

@whambam89 I'd say pretty close to peak too. Worth doing another tonight. Maybe you should try the standard clear blues (if you need them). I think the constant flashing smilies would do my head in a bit.
