The month of valentines, pancakes and lot’s of BFP’s! 🤞🏻❤️

Totally agree @mightbeyesmightbeno. I was saying to DH last night, I wish I knew at what point it isn’t working. Is it:

• Sperm not meeting the egg (not enough get up there, they die etc)
• sperm meet the egg but the egg is not the best, (old, immature, poor quality)
• sperm and egg meet but the cells don’t make their way to the womb
• sperm and egg meet but the cells don’t implant

I just wish I knew! Here I am at 7dpo with no caffeine, no wine, baby aspirin - for all I know there aren’t even any cells trying to implant if they sperm never met the egg in the first place?!

@Diamondbabe that looks really strong for 9dpo and I’m gonna say that 4-5 mins isn’t THAT much past 3 mins?! Tentatively exciting?!

@Curlywurly3 9dpo is still early days my lovely!

@Purple29 got everything crossed for you over the weekend 💜

@Curlywurly3 it's so hard isn't it. I hate the fact that you can't just have sex on the right days and know you're pregnant. So many other factors involved. It seems so unfair. I have a friend in a line of work (being cautious about what I say incase she's on here 😂😂) who constantly sees babies born to people not wanting them / unplanned pregnancies and she has been trying for over 2 years now. Healthy as anything and still no luck. I just find this so hard when it's the unknown.

I also DTD on 14&15 with O on 15 or 16 so trying to keep positive!

Im only 5days PO and this morning I have a "twinging" sharp pain on my right side which comes and goes every few mins. I don't think you can feel implantation but my stupid brain is telling me that's it 😂

@Purple29 amazing restraint... I have everything crossed for you!

@Diamondbabe I think that looks like a pretty solid line for it to be an indent. But difficult when it came up 4-5 minutes later. Can't tell by the photo of there is colour but I think I see a hint of colour? Hoping it progresses!

@Curlywurly3 I had some cramping about a week ago, have been really tired, some creamy CM and had a few bouts of feeling nauseous. Been a bit emotional too but that could be after everything!! We only DTD on days 13 and 14.

@Diamondbabe that’s a decent line for 9dpo!!!

@kizzy97 it’s too faint to see colour. It’s fine, I’m being very open to the fact it could go either way, obvs praying it’s the start of a line but yeah

Great restraint with not testing @Purple29 I have everything crossed for you!

Sorry about the BFN @Curlywurly3 hopefully it's just too early for it to show up!

@MummyMe87 hopefully it's not an indent! Is there any colour or anything? Or is it too faint to tell?

I commented a few times in December but took a break on here but I think I've got a positive...! Only 9dpo so it is super faint. It did come after 4/5 minutes but I don't think it's an evap line. It I guess time will tell.

Everything crossed for you @Purple29 and good work on holding out for testing.

Also tested here @Curlywurly3 at 9dpo, still that stupid VVVVvVFL that is likely an indent. I was trying to fool myself into thinking it was slightly darker today, don’t know who I’m fooling!! Very much think it’s an indent but ya know, will keep testing. Symptom wise, so far nothing today, boobs don’t feel as sore now, a little tender but not like the last week.

So today is the day AF is due.... if my cycle is back to normal following the ectopic. Still no sign of it yet, still fatigued and a bit extra CM. Still going to hold out on testing till at least tomorrow tho!! 🤞🤞

Just read back the last few pages and some of your stories so sorry what some of you have been through. I have all my fingers and toes for you 🤞🏻 You deserve some luck so let’s hope valentines month is the one!

I have avoided posting or coming on mumsnet past few days because TWW is bad enough and I know I become obsessive! So sorry for laying low! I started with some pinkish blood when wiping 4 days ago and it hasn’t stopped? It surely can’t be AF as that’s 8 days away. I thought I was 6DPO today but think it’s 8PO so the pink blood started around 5DPO surely that’s too early for IB? I felt nauseous last two days for a split second and I have had some cramps (this could be me reading into it because of the above).

Going out my mind, trying to be positive but it will be even worse feeling if AF arrives 🙈

Hey guys this month hope it’s our month!❤️❤️

@RosyappleA I had been experiencing spotting mid cycle and leading upto AF which I haven't in the past and occasional discomfort during intercourse more recently. My periods have also become much lighter but i have had the copper cpil removed so this may be normal for me without it. I've had the pain on and off for at least 12 months, but its more constant now which is why I decided to get it checked now that I have other symptoms also. I always assumed it was due to my coil but that is long gone and its gotten worse. Hoping its nothing.

@Mariabombia it varies its always there as a dull sort of aching and then sometimes it's more stabby sharp or cramping pain which radiates into my hip. Its really low down on the RHS sort of level with top of pubic bone but more tucked into my hip/groin. It definitely worsens around my period

So I had some other symptoms today, like a pulsing in my groin, both signs although not at the same time. Was really really noticeable.
I’m still not convinced about the possible shadow of a line this morning but naturally I’ll test tomorrow as won’t be able to stop myself

I think today is my O day so I’ll have done O, O-1, O-2 and O-4. I know it’s still only 20-30% chance but I feel better going into my TWW knowing I DTD lots. Today I feel like I’ll be more relaxed this time but talk to me at 8dpo lol. Good luck everyone!

@MummyMe87 sounds good to me!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Nico89 I hope you're feeling like you're in a better headspace now. It all just gets a bit much and a bit all consuming doesn't it. I actually feel like i might be going a bit crazy during this process, I find myself obsessing completely , reading into everything constantly etc and then I just catch myself and think wtf am I turning into 🤣

Great news re the new job & mat pay ! You must be really pleased about that.

Your post actually caught my eye because of what you said about having a scan booked in. What does your side ovary pain feel like? I was telling the ladies on this thread earlier about the pain I've been having and the doctor has also booked me in for a scan. It's on my left side low in my pelvic area, just on and off throughout the day, it's radiating around my lower back. It's definitely not as painful as it was at the start of the week but I can still feel it. I've been getting crampy pain since ttc in my tww , but the pain specifically in my lower life side only started this month. Just wondering if we might be experiencing a similar thing. My dr also suggested it could be a cyst!

@Curlywurly3 it was a FRER that I bought from boots not Amazon (read online the indents seem to be associated with Amazon ones)

@Curlywurly3 I tested today also, don’t know why I do it to myself. So there was a possible line which appeared in a few mins but knowing my luck probably a bloody indent again!!

@Natalie2304 same! I have very ugly spots on my chin, as well on my right cheek. Very odd. I have a spot every now and then, but this looks like I'm back in my teenage years.

Also I started cramping, but I'm at least 5 days away from AF. I remember I started cramping early last cylce as well, but I don't think it was that early? Probably unrelated though.

I have a ridiculous headache today. I'm hoping it is a "fertilisation headache" 😂 and not a covid one 😬 only 4days PO so too early for implantation. Urgh!
