Hey guys,

So I'm in my 6th TWW and roughly 6/7dpos. (Ive stopped monitoring.. for now). I was doing sooo well and now I'm on the obsessive googling stage.

I get a little crampy around this time every month.. I think. 🤣 so I've just been trying to work out what implantation cramps could feel like 🤯

Does anyone else feel like when you aren't TTC the time between periods go super quick but when your in your TWW if feels like the whole of 2020 within that two weeks 🙈

Why can't I just CHILL!!!

@beckyBP Completely agree. DH is great but there's nothing like talking to your mum or your best mate about these things.
Have a Great Christmas all. I'm in Tier 4 in Essex so will certainly be a bit different this year! X

@Melonbee90 ooo how was the baileys? You deserve it!

@bluemagicalsky bless you. Handling it like a trouper clearly. You're so right it definitely helps to talk. I've spoken to a few friends, my mum and sister in law about it. I know people don't like to but for my own sake I have to.

You defo did do the right thing and I agree, I think not worth testing before AF (easier said than done as we all know)

Hoping for an incredible start to 2021 for us!!

Hope everyone is ok! Xx

@beckyBP It was pretty crushing at first and I felt so down, but I saw my best friend (the only one who knows we're TTC) and told her about it. I can't tell you how much better sharing with her made me feel. So I'm feeling positive and looking forward now. CD7. Here we go again! Hope we can both share some good news this cycle! I won't be testing before AF again unless absolutely necessary. Gutted I missed sharing a glass with my brother for his 30th & engagement but we had that positive test so was the right thing to do

Melonbee90 · 18/12/2020 13:09

@beckyBP hey lovely so glad you're feeling bit more relaxed nowSmile last day of af today for me! And got myself some baileys salted caramel to enjoy so I'm actually looking forward to that! Get yourself your fave wine girl enjoy yourself!!

Hey dolls.

Took some time off whilst AF was here to settle into my new job and also not obsess over TTC.

Only cycle 7. I went and bought some pregnacare conception for me and wellman for him and I'm going to get some preseed.

I don't know about you girls but the last day of my period is the happiest/most chilled I am all month. No stress just ready to get on with DTD!

How is everyone?

Sorry AF came @Jordie24 🤍

You're so right @Melonbee90 pass me the Christmas wine 🍷

Awww sorry to hear that @Jordie24 it's never easy seeing AF turn up Sad

AF was due today for me but not arrived yet. Been having cramps for a few days and full of spots though so I've no doubt it's round the corner Hmm

Jordie24 · 14/12/2020 12:53

@beckyBP I started with brown blood this morning, af is due today, so think I’m out this cycle! Xx

Melonbee90 · 13/12/2020 20:53

@beckyBP ah sorry to hear that but keeping positive is key to keep your body healthy ahh its normal to cry though those hormones are crazy this is coming from me who has PMDD are you taking vitamins? Makesure you get plenty of dark green veggies in system ready for next cycle wouldn't hurt to get hubby eating his greens too Smile lol
Heres to the next cycle atleast we can enjoy some vino with Christmas Dinner Wink

Thank you so much @Chica1990 @peach1234 @mooloop Really appreciate the kind words, knowledge and advice ❤️

Dottyjen · 13/12/2020 18:22

I’m on my first month TTC our first.
Today is 12dpo with AF due on Tuesday. I had what I think was a faint positive this morning (not FMU) on a FRER. Just got to hope it sticks!!

ELBlack · 13/12/2020 17:59

Hey ladies, please can I join? I'm 5dpo and it's our first month ttc. I had my jaydess coil removed beginning of november, and periods not come back yet. I went for a pelvic and fertility scan yesterday as I just for peace of mind, and the sonographer said I had ovulated from my right ovary and endometrium was 7.15mm thick but I don't know if that's good or bad. Feeling pretty normal, some slight cramps but mainly what feels like a gassy feeling in the bottom of my stomach without passing wind. Anyone else had that? Testing on 23rd so really hoping for a bfp

mooloop · 13/12/2020 17:56

Oh bless you @bluemagicalsky Sad I hope like @peach1234 says it may actually all be ok for you 🤞🏻

peach1234 · 13/12/2020 17:52

@bluemagicalsky I had bleeding very early on with my first pregnancy and everything was absolutely fine, go and see your doctor and get checked, I think bleeding early on is quite common, also have heard of people having periods still throughout their pregnancies. Hope you're ok Thanks

Chica1990 · 13/12/2020 17:46

So sorry to hear this @bluemagicalsky wishing you all the best x

bluemagicalsky · 13/12/2020 17:39

Hi Ladies. After such a strong line on a FRER a couple of days ago, I think I've now had a chemical pregnancy. I've started bleeding this evening. What a harsh reality, we let our minds run away with us these last few days. Hard to get our heads round. Important to share the good and bad. Looks like I'll be having a boozy Christmas after all! Sending you all good vibes on your TTC journeys xx

peach1234 · 13/12/2020 17:12

@beckyBP sorry to hear that SadI've got my ovulating sticks and preseed ready and waiting for to try again in about a week! We've got this! Smile

mooloop · 13/12/2020 17:02

@beckyBP sorry to hear AF came. I'm expecting to come on at any moment now, rubbish isn't it Sad

Hey dolls!

@Melonbee90 sorry to hear. Love you positive attitude though that at least you didn't think you were and then turn out not to be.

AF came today for me and hit me hard tbh!! I had a little cry just now. (Lots of other things going on and feeling overwhelmed in general)

I'm 100% preseeding next month! Xx

Melonbee90 · 13/12/2020 09:57

@beckyBP I've started spotting last night so AF is definitely here (I had implantation bleed on my 1st pregnancy looked completely different to this) but atleast im on time id hate to be late thinking im pregnant when I'm not
How are you doing any sign of AF?

Jordie24 · 13/12/2020 09:27

I tested with first response yesterday, I think it was negative at 13dpo. Just going to wait to see if AF arrives tomorrow now, on my previous pregnancy’s I never used frer always just used clear blue digital to get my positives so if I end up being late I think I’ll defo use one of those ones xx

Eurgh.. sorry @kaffy197 but great attitude! You'll have a lovely Christmas!!

Sorry about your BFN @Jessicatayla you're not out though so 🤞🏽🤞🏽

@Melonbee90 ah so close! Sorry about your BFN.. I had the same on a CB ER!! how are you feeling?

@bluemagicalsky YAY!! Huge huge congratulations to you!! Xxx

No AF yet but feels like I could come on any second! Due tomorrow. Feeling a bit flat tbh! Xx

Jordie24 · 11/12/2020 20:55

I tested with a first response 2 days ago and I don’t think there was a line, but I have noticed today after taking off my bra that my boobs are heavy and hurting! Don’t usually get that with AF! Bottom of back is hurting too, but now worrying that might have something to do with helping the OH pull some presents into the loft this afternoon!

kaffy197 · 11/12/2020 19:47

@Jordie24 I can see a faint line on top, test again first thing

kaffy197 · 11/12/2020 19:45

@bluemagicalsky congratulations!!!
