@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@Chaz5041 trying giving it another day or two. But stressing out and overthinking always makes it worse

Chaz5041 · 04/11/2021 06:51

So this week I've had 4 negative clear blue tests. Usual AF symptoms, tender breasts, bloating, moodiness. 2 of the tests I did had evap lines (way outside of recommended window) but still you end up with a flicker of hope. Digital said a definite no. But as if to torment me further, AF, who is usually like clock work, is a day late. Never been late before but then again, lots of stress this month. That's the worst part about recording everything for months, when something doesn't tally up you don't know whether to have hope or put it down to overthinking.

Aims1991 · 04/11/2021 06:30

@hoola23 I probably won't test until the weekend I less af shows before then

hoola23 · 03/11/2021 21:57

@Aims1991 🤣🤣 I don't blame you! When you have strong feelings, it's hard to resist a test! Let us know when you do!! X

Aims1991 · 03/11/2021 21:02

So I have just bought a selection of tests of Amazon for delivery tomorrow 🤣🙈🤣

Aims1991 · 03/11/2021 21:01

@plantbasedlondoner Thank you x

plantbasedlondoner · 03/11/2021 20:47

@MrsRosaline sorry you are having rubbish PMS symptoms hun, rest up, watch something good on Netflix and have lots of yummy food!

plantbasedlondoner · 03/11/2021 20:46

@Aims1991 it's looking quite promising for you, crossing my fingers and toes for you hun! xx

@hoola23 thanks, I'm so with you next cycle when it comes to the manic baby making 🤣 not having any time this month is one of those downsides of being self-employed as you have stretches with a bit more time and then it is manic at points... I'm also trying to put away some cash so I can actually afford to go on maternity leave if that lovely time comes one day! I so know what you mean about having a timeline in your head, I was so keen to be pregnant for Christmas and just bathe in that happiness ... next cycle going to give it my all! DH better watch out 🤣

newtolineofduty · 03/11/2021 20:40

@LittleDoveLove welcome back hun! Are you feeling better from taking a little break?

@CShandy01 I weighed myself today! Half stone weight gain already! Granted I've been eating more than usual but not THAT much more! Think it's fluid/bloating/the iron tablets I'm on! Hopefully anyway! X

I always forget how rubbish periods are! I feel like someone has punched me down there 😖😄 Weirdly, I haven't had any tenderness in my boobs. For as long as I can remember, sore and tender boobs is like the first period symptom I get! I never got this before DD so maybe the miscarriage reset something inside of me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Aims1991 · 03/11/2021 20:09

@CShandy01 Ano Ano I'm trying to be positive but how I feel tonight is how I always feel before AF

CShandy01 · 03/11/2021 20:06

@Aims1991 @hoola23 remember that you're never ever out until AF arrives 🙂🙂🙂 xx

CShandy01 · 03/11/2021 19:56

Evening a!! Sorry for the late reply - been a bloody manic day here! DD has regressed in the toilet training and has had 7 accidents today 😩😩 been a day of hand washing galore!!

@newtolineofduty @hoola23 all going well here thanks guys 🙂🙂 just plodding along really. No symptoms other than no AF (obvs) and the same tugging/cramp on my right hand side that I've had now for about 3 and a half weeks. So I've just got used to it. Oh and I look pregnant 😂😂 literally my bottom pouch/second tum/baby flab tab from DD has suddenly popped out. I literally had that when I was 12-15 weeks pregnant the first time. Maybe it's all the fluid retention??!!

Oh and I AM STARVING AND HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!!!! 😆🤣😩 xx

LittleDoveLove · 03/11/2021 19:16

@StillJustWaiting I can see a v faint one I got that at 9 days DPO - I did have a EMC unfortunately but I can see the line x

LittleDoveLove · 03/11/2021 19:14

@newtolineofduty I'm just catching up, congrats! Have I missed anyone else's BFP?! X

LittleDoveLove · 03/11/2021 19:13

Hi all! I couldn't find the new threat but yay I've found you all! Still having a break here but have been supplementing up in preparation! Xx

Aims1991 · 03/11/2021 18:56

@newtolineofduty really, your filling me with a little more hope. But I just would love to see two lines, never ever been lucky enough to witness it before 🤞🏼🤞🏼

newtolineofduty · 03/11/2021 18:51

@Aims1991 that's EXACTLY how I felt hun try not to give up just yet xx

OP posts:
Aims1991 · 03/11/2021 18:50

@newtolineofduty Ano, I would say I've been mostly positive this month but today has felt like a typical day before AF, like a heavy bloated feeling 🙄 so now I'm totally negative

newtolineofduty · 03/11/2021 18:37

Wow @Aims1991 that's great going!!!!

@hoola23 it's horrible having these deadlines in our mind isn't it! Xxx

OP posts:
Aims1991 · 03/11/2021 18:20

@newtolineofduty oh god yeah, I took EPO & folic acid. OH took wellmans fertility vitamins. We drank loads of pomegranate juice too and DTD cd 7,9,13,14,15,17 and I got my peak around 13

hoola23 · 03/11/2021 18:13

@newtolineofduty yeah I've certainly been a lot more chilled until about 6dpo when I swore I felt something happening!! 🤣 really going to give it a good shot this cycle! I really wanted to be pregnant before my 35th but I really don't think I will be. I turn 35 in December 😭😭😭

newtolineofduty · 03/11/2021 17:51

@hoola23 In a way though hun I wonder if this month has almost felt like a bit of a 'break' because you didn't properly try and if that's felt helpful?

@Aims1991 I do think it's best to wait to test as long as poss to avoid false negatives butttttt im getting excited for you!!!!! Did you give it a good go this month!? X

OP posts:
hoola23 · 03/11/2021 16:59

@StillJustWaiting oh that's good! I think you just have ovulated later if that's positive as it should be pretty dark after AF is due. I would try if you can and test again on Friday as it doubles every 48 hours and the line should defo be darker! If you do it tomorrow it may not show that much progression. Or just just do it tomo and buy some more for Friday!! Fingers crossed for you! X

StillJustWaiting · 03/11/2021 16:49

@hoola23 i could have quite easily ovulated later, i have irregular cycles last month was 34 day cycle and the month before 37 day cycle.... i have only gone on AF being due yesterday going by my last cycle... but if i went by the month before's cycle AF would be due Friday... I haven't tracked BBT or used Ovulation tests but was going to start next cycle 🤞
Can anybody else see it? It is so so so faint! Xx
