Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

Hi everyone,

This is our first cycle TTC, and whilst I promised myself I would stay calm and collected, truthfully I am the total opposite. I can't switch off from thinking about it.

It's taken my OH a while to come to terms with trying to start a family. Whilst we have been together since we were 15 (now 27) he always wanted to earn more, to have a bigger house etc but he's come to finally realise that it's never the right time and we just have to go for it. I was so so pleased he was finally ready but promised we would keep it relaxed and calm. If it happens, it happens,

But working from home and not having anything else to do, I just can't switch off from my mind wondering 🙈 wondered if there was anyone else in the same boat who just wants to chat really?

I'm due AF on Christmas Day so it would be such a Christmas miracle if she doesn't come.

Gone*

Mariex1989 · 12/02/2021 08:59

@ELBlack I’m disappointed but was sort of expecting it if I’m being honest with myself.

Boobs are still bloody killing me this morning so I’ll that as AF and just want her to come and go now.

Where’s the wine? 😂

Anywayyyy - scan day tomorrow!!! That’s fine sooo quick! X

ELBlack · 12/02/2021 08:47

@Mariex1989 oh gosh really!! I'm so sorry. Your other tests surely can't be indent lines! Did you do a digital or another kind? Hope you're OK lovely x

Mariex1989 · 12/02/2021 08:14

BFN for me this morning ladies ☹️

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 18:22

@ELBlack bless you, bet it feels weirdly satisfying to have the symptoms though ☺️.

I had all the thoughts in the world to get my ass into gear during lockdown but it didn’t work 😂 making a conscious effort recently though, better late than never!

Ooooh go on then I’ll do it 😂 I’ll have a wine at the ready if I get an unwanted result (or maybe not at 8am, but it’s Friday so rules don’t apply right?) 😂

ELBlack · 11/02/2021 17:47

@Mariex1989 yeah basically just drained and nauseous, bloated, headaches, it goes on 😂 bizarrely I actually felt more motivated working out at home, I think it was pure boredom with the lockdowns and also having more time on my hands as I didn't have to commute, but totally understand how motivation can be low when you're used to the gym or classes.

In general I feel tired and sick and my boobs hurt 😂 my skin feels dry, I feel bloated, I need to wee ALL the time, so yeah, symptoms back in full force. This week has been tough!

Up to you, but my frer was lighter than your tests and I got my bfp on a digital with weeks the following morning! I say do it 😉

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 17:42

@ELBlack omg I wish I had your motivation! How do you feel? Like drained?
I used to do well going to the gym and swimming, but find it hard to motivate myself at home. I really think this is a contribution to my messed up cycles, sitting on my ass for the best part of a year.

How’re you feeling in general? Have your symptoms come back?

I just don’t know whether to do the test tomorrow, I’ll be so disheartened if it’s neg and not sure even if I am that’ll it’ll pick up on it 😩 can’t win!

ELBlack · 11/02/2021 17:06

@Mariex1989 yes I had digital with weeks. Can't wait for your fmu tomorrow 😂 lol

I've just done a workout for the first time this week (before pregnancy I used to workout 5 x a week religiously as well as walking the dog) and I'm feeling amazing! I really, really didn't want to do it 😂 I've felt so rough again today x

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 12:37

@ELBlack eek I really hope so 😩

Just been to boots to get them before I chickened out. Wasn’t going to bother as my boobs kind of calmed down, but as I was driving low and behold I started getting the pains back 🙈.
I was speaking to the pharmacist and showed her my pics and she said she can see why I’m confused 😂. They didn’t have any FRER’s anyway so got the digital with weeks, apparently they are more sensitive than the normal “pregnant/not pregnant” digital’s x

ELBlack · 11/02/2021 11:31

@Mariex1989 yes good idea! I really do think it's going to be a BFP judging by those lines!! X

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 11:29

@ELBlack I’m going to get the digital I think, sick of scrutinising the lines 😂 and if it’s “not pregnant” tomorrow I’ll try in another few days if AF doesn’t come. I wish I’d never done that Asda one yesterday 😂😂😂 x

ELBlack · 11/02/2021 11:09

@Mariex1989 so hard to say. If you get a digital then you know for sure if it says pregnant, but if it says not pregnant, I still really think you could be 🤰 I'd get both 😂 but totally understand why you don't want to! X

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 11:00

@ELBlack yeah I have a boots not too far away I can call in at. I’ll get either frer or digital, definitely not both 😂 which do you think at this point? X

ELBlack · 11/02/2021 10:22

@Mariex1989 Hahaha completely! Yes up to you! Can you get hold of a frer? Xx

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 09:01

@ELBlack hahah I love how we’re all shameless compulsive testers 😂.
Okay that makes me feel a bit better. I might go this evening to get some digitals so the temptation isn’t there throughout the day (if AF hasn’t shown up in the meantime) xx

ELBlack · 11/02/2021 08:43

@Mariex1989 I honestly don't think you are!! So I did a frer 9dpo and it was vvv faint and I thought it was an indent. I also did a cb 9dpo and another frer in the evening (Ffs 🙄) and the cb was fainter than yours but the frer was much darker. I got an obvious bfp on my frer 10dpo and I also dipped a digital in the same pot which is when I got 'pregnant 1-2' I then did frers and IC until about 19dpo like a mad woman 😂 I would really suggest getting a frer or a digital xx

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 08:36

@Foundmyfeet ah I don’t know what to do. I might go get one but will need to lock it away as I know I’ll end up doing it before fmu 😂

@ELBlack what DPO did you do your digital? Was your test faint before?

Think I’m clutching at straw guys! x

Foundmyfeet · 11/02/2021 08:22

I get what you mean about spending money on these bloody PT's. We should buy shares in CB!

Foundmyfeet · 11/02/2021 08:21

Looks like a positive to me!! I second @ELBlack. Maybe get a digital and do it tomorrow morning x

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 08:19

@ELBlack I haven’t got anymore ☹️ I’m just so reluctant to spent any more money on these bloody tests 🙈.
I checked them again (shameful I know), and the Asda one has a vvfaint line but ofc it’s out of the timeframe now. There’s something on the clearblue but it’s so hard to tell if it has colour to it or not when it’s faint in the blue dye ones

ELBlack · 11/02/2021 08:07

@Mariex1989 that clear blue looks positive!! I can see the line!! Have you got a frer or a digital? X

Mariex1989 · 11/02/2021 08:03

@Foundmyfeet @ELBlack hahaha sorry girlies, I’m not a morning person 😂.

Well I did both tests and they’re BFN! Cheapie one nothing at all and clearblue a shadow of a line that’s more than likely an evap ☹️

Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle
ELBlack · 11/02/2021 07:46

@Foundmyfeet hahaha I'm the exact same!!

Foundmyfeet · 11/02/2021 07:24

@Mariex1989 C'mon! C'mon!! I'm dying here!!! Been up since 6:30am and been randomly spot checking this thread! Lol! 🤞🏽🤣❤️

Mariex1989 · 10/02/2021 20:52

@Foundmyfeet I think I will. It says the clear blue one is 10mlU and the one I did today was 25mlU so theoretically I should get a positive result if it was true :/

Will update you in the AM ladies. I’m scared 😂 x
