@sunflowersaremyfav93ah I’m so glad you are back- it is crap indeed when af arrives - I don’t blame you for taking a bit of time off it’s needed sometimes isn’t it

Omgosh I am keeping everything crossed for you lovely I can see something on that first pic! Really hope it turns into something more for you. Sending all the wishes and positivity your way xxx

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 02/04/2021 13:00

Ahhhh amazing I'm so glad it's not just me, hopefully it is. I will hold out until Monday with FMU @CookieMonster3001

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 02/04/2021 12:20

Ooh that's such a positive story!! I have everything crossed, I'll keep you updated. I'll try hold out though and not think about it .. hard but I'll try x

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I got negatives on day 9 where I thought i could see a ridiculously faint line then convinced myself it was nothing, later that day I had spotting so thought I’d come on. Woke up the next morning (10 DPO) without AF and felt slightly sick and did a test and faint line, went out and got early detections and saw clear lines.

It’s so hard isn’t it- trying not to get too excited but still really hoping it happens. Have everything crossed for you

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 02/04/2021 11:45

Ahh I hope so @NewbieB what day did you get a BFP? I'm thinking it wouldn't have been very strong urine at all so that also gives me hope.
Monday is the anniversary of FIL passing so I'm going to hold out till then and pray he gives us a little gift. 😭 god I'm so emotional and my boobs ache a bit today... exact same symptoms as AF which is always the way isn't it.

OP posts:
NewbieB · 02/04/2021 11:33

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I did the exact same thing but It did turn out to be positive a day later. I’m the same as you- think I can see a very faint line but it could also be me imagining too

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 02/04/2021 11:11

Here's the original.. def looks like nothing but I thought I could see something in one of the edited ones? Wishing thinking maybe?

@CookieMonster3001 I feel like my nipples are really sensitive so I tested this morn 9dpo.. not FMU and in fact it was a tiny bit of wee like an hour after FMU so now I've been obsessed with playing around with the image and I think my eyes are just imagining a line. Can you tell me there's nothing there and I'm being silly please?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 honestly i am keeping everything crossed for you!!! See if you can hold out until at least 12DPO before you take a test!
Most likely we will find out the gender but will probably keep it a secret from everyone until it pops out!! Itll be nice to keep it to ourselves :) I am jus looking forward to the 2nd trimester when I can start eating healthier again. I have never eaten so much junk in my life. Im constipated as hell from all the carbs lol

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 01/04/2021 11:03

@CookieMonster3001 Aw cookie how wonderful! I'm so happy for you, will you be finding out the gender?
During my FW this cycle I was soooo chill didn't do OPKs everyday just went by EWCM and got a peak by chance and happened to DTD at the same time but since yesterday which was 7dpo I am back to symptoms spotting and overthinking. I just ordered some FRER on Amazon to be delivered this evening so I will try and not do a test until Sunday morning or try and stick it out until Monday morning.

CookieMonster3001 · 31/03/2021 12:52

@sunflowersaremyfav93 so nice to hear from you and totally get the break from the boards. It is so hard to not think about it but I think its more trying to be as relaxed as possible and having the mindset of knowing it might take a while takes the expectation of success every month away and less likely to over think every single thing? I dunno i was never any good at that tbh!!

10 weeks on saturday still another 3 weeks before our scan but slowly getting there. The nausea is really taking its toll now cant wait for the 2nd trimester so I can start feeling better!!

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 31/03/2021 10:48

Hey ladies, how are you all?

How's it going @CookieMonster3001 ? How far along are you now?

@mackjm20 it's crap when AF arrives isn't it. Well done on booking the docs appointment to hear more on PCOS. I read somewhere that on average it takes a woman 7 years to get diagnosed so keep pushing for tests and what not, you know your body more than anyone.

I'm ok, was trying to keep away from the boards because after the first cycle I was just a bit deflated. But I spoke to my mum about it and she said it took a year to fall with me so I think I've realised this isn't going to be a quick thing, I was trying to keep calm and relaxed and was doing well but I'm 7dpo today and feel like I'm bot relaxed if that makes sense?
I don't have any symptoms at all, my nipples felt quite sensitive around 3/4dpo and I have lots of creamy discharge but anything pre 7dpo is likely to be change in hormones so I'm not getting excited.

Everyone says it'll happen when you're not thinking about it, how does one not think about it?

@Kayeyeem thank you :) all good I had a wobble for 2 days but I’m okay now glad to have an appointment booked in :) positives I have another month to lose the weight - DH may have a job soon and I can have a drink this weekend lol! Every cloud :) how are you getting on :)? Xx

@CookieMonster3001 thanks lovely :) how are you? How’s it all going? It will happen I just need to be more patient :)

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I was thinking the same hope you are okay lovely xxx

CookieMonster3001 · 30/03/2021 21:47

@mackjm20 ahh im so sorry AF arrived!! Fingers crossrd for your next cycle and defo good you have that appt booked!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 how are you doing? You have been quiet! Hope you are well xx

Kayeyeem · 30/03/2021 20:52

@mackjm20 I'm so sorry 😞 Good luck with your doctors appointment, hopefully you get some answers 🤞🏼

mackjm20 · 27/03/2021 11:31

Morning :) AF arrived this morning. I’m doing as okay as I can be :) Really glad I have booked the dr appointment for pcos test now and if not can try and establish what’s going on with my cycle. Good luck to everyone else for this cycle :) I’ll be back in a few days for cycle 8 xxx

mackjm20 · 26/03/2021 11:39

Following last post have just booked a dr appointment to get tested for pcos- face my fear and find out feel like it’s better to know what I’m dealing with- if I have it will be good to get guidance on how best to improve conception chances & if I don’t can cross that off the list and soon will be able to cross being overweight off the list when I finally hit healthy bmi :) trying to focus on things within my sphere of control as my impatience increases x

mackjm20 · 26/03/2021 10:46

Morning :) How’s everyone getting on? I’m 9dpo today quite sure that I’m out (bfn- I know it’s early I can’t help myself) but feeling surprisingly positive :) so excited to get to see people next week and to have a few drinks to belated celebrate my birthday so every cloud :)

I tried to not think about it much this month so next month I’m going to try and be super healthy food wise again and see if that helps. The end of the weight loss journey is in sight which is another positive :)

To be Totally honest I have ended up down abit of a google rabbit hole about pcos... I feel like a lot of the symptoms could be true to me. Not sure if I’m just going over kill on dr google after looking up why am I not pregnant yet 1000 times lol but might book in and get tested just in case... anyone have any experience of this and know much about the process?

Hope everyone is having a good Friday and has a lovely weekend :) xxx

mackjm20 · 24/03/2021 06:40

@Kayeyeem Omgosh imagine! Hopefully it’s just a dream :) I know you are so right I we would never speak to anyone else how we speak to ourselves. Thank you so much :) yea that’s what I am hoping :) it’s good that they pick up on these things so that you will be well looked after :) x

@wrensandrobins thanks for checking in so lovely to hear from you! Omgosh 16 weeks how’s it all going :)? Are you going to find out little ones gender :) bless you sorry to hear you have been anxious sometimes good to take a step back :) sending lots of love your way :) x

wrensandrobins · 23/03/2021 17:30

Hi all, just wanted to check in! I switched off mumsnet for a while as it was just giving me more reasons to be anxious! 16 weeks today and all is well. I have a lot of reading back to do 🤣 I hope you are all well!

Kayeyeem · 23/03/2021 14:54

@mackjm20 yes this is my 3rd 😬 keep having dreams it's twins and was never this sick with the other 2, kind of praying it's not 🤣
Glad you're doing ok. Being in your head is never a good idea. We do talk down to ourselves like no body else ever would! We're our own worst enemy! Wow 2 stone is a brilliant achievement, definitely something to be proud of and like you say, if nothing else think how fantastic you will feel in the summer! Then when you do get your BFP hopefully you will be much healthier with it 😃 my bmi is high and my midwife was saying I'll need to take aspirin and be tested for gestational diabetes as well as other stuff and as happy as I am that I'm pregnant, I do regret not trying harder to lose weight first so a huge well done you 😊

mackjm20 · 23/03/2021 14:40

@Kayeyeem bless you I hope you are feeling better soon! Ah that’s so exciting and so lush to be able to surprise them :) remind me is this your third? I’m okay thank you got in my head abit but feeling much better now :) on the plus I’m down over 2 stone since January :) healthy bmi seems so much more achievable now and already just in the overweight not obese category now :) super chuffed it’s been my one positive focus to be honest :) keep trying to think if it doesn’t happen atleast I can enjoy a summer ‘glow up’ lol :) xx
