13dpo. Another bfn, cramps this morning and some spotting so sure AF is on the way 😒 could still make a November baby if I catch next month

MrsGrealish · 16/02/2022 14:52

If I get a chance I'll do a test tomorrow morning. The only weird thing was yesterday I had so many cramps I was sure AF was arriving early. Zero pains today. And no bleeding.
It's it's negative I'll defo be having a glass or 2 🥂. Xx

I'm feeling a lot more moody Blush and it's only 4dpo!

Also going out at the weekend and don't know whether to drink

@IsabelHerna
My DS is two, would have had second one sooner but needed to wait for his funded hours at nursery to be on the horizon. Smile

Coastaldreamer · 16/02/2022 13:57

@MrsGrealish might just be too early at 8/9dpo. Will you still drink or stay cautious? So hard to know what to do!

MrsGrealish · 16/02/2022 13:49

😂😂🙈🙈 thanks ladies x

Cheekypeach · 16/02/2022 13:47

I can see a faint line I think but not when I look directly at it weirdly Confused

MrsGrealish · 16/02/2022 13:45

😂😂 I'll take another later. The more I look at it the more negative it looks. And my kids keep wandering in talking...

Coastaldreamer · 16/02/2022 13:45

@MrsGrealish it's a bit dark but I can't see anything :( can you take it in a lighter place

Cheekypeach · 16/02/2022 13:40

Full marks for putting the test on your shopping list Mrs G 😂

Hmm… can you take a pic in another light?

MrsGrealish · 16/02/2022 13:38

Ok help 8/9 dpo this is negative right? Only taken coz I'm going drinking tomorrow

Welcome @santastolemycat! Love the user name, wish Santa would steal my cat it's just peed all over the floor🤦‍♀️

IsabelHerna · 16/02/2022 11:44

@santastolemycat welcome!

Good luck, fingers crossed you wont have to try for many cycles. How old is your dc?

I'm just hanging around this month, cause I'm changing ivf clinics but will jump right back in on March.

santastolemycat · 15/02/2022 22:51

Hello Ladies, mind if I join?!
TTC #2
DS 1 has a November birthday so I was unsure if we should skip this month and next month (I am a NY baby and my birthday is at a crap time
of year) however have decided I would like to be very pregnant/had the baby by the time I turn 37 at the start of next year so need to get a move on.
Not started on the OPKs yet as AF only ended on Sunday and I don’t usually ovulate until about day 16/17
Baby dust to you all Grin

Nik84 · 15/02/2022 22:36

Oh that’s so good to know I’m not the only one @MrsGrealish 😊

MrsGrealish · 15/02/2022 22:35

I totally get that. I miscarried at 8 weeks last April, unplanned baby no 4. But I cant see life without a 4th baby now. It took me a bit to talk OH round but we are here now xx @Nik84

Nik84 · 15/02/2022 22:29

I was 10 weeks @MrsGrealish It’s been a rollercoaster as it was a surprise, I already have a 9 and 7 year old and another wasn’t on the cards. We now can’t imagine our future without our 3rd baby. Funny how things go.

MrsGrealish · 15/02/2022 22:23

How many weeks pregnant were you when you miscarried? Feel free to tell me to f*k off if it's triggering @Nik84

Nik84 · 15/02/2022 21:33

After not drinking since before Christmas until a few weeks ago due to being pregnant, I’m currently working my way through all the Christmas wine and Prosecco I’d stocked up on but couldn’t drink 😂

Nik84 · 15/02/2022 21:31

Thankyou @MrsGrealish 😌

Charl881 · 15/02/2022 21:18

2dpo for me and I had EWCM?! Usually it stops a day or two before ovulation so not s clue what’s going on.

I’ll be having a wine on Friday anyway 😆

MrsGrealish · 15/02/2022 14:30

To be fair if (when) it's negative the wine will be flowing 😅

@Miracle22 good luck for the next cycle. Sorry AF came but fresh start for next cycle 🤞

[quote Coastaldreamer]@Miracle22 sorry that AF came. Here's hoping for next cycle 

@MrsGrealish I know what you mean. Even last night only at 2DPO I'm like ok I won't have a drink even though I know it doesn't make a difference at this point? Or does it. Who knows!

@Bubblesandballoons sounds like a reasonable plan! I know it's like an addiction![/quote]
I was like that in first pregnancy. Wouldn’t have coffee either and I was working and absolutely exhausted.
Now I’m just like eh will be fine 😂

Turns out I will be in the waiting lounge this cycle but keeping everything crossed for you x

I decided to order take out and enjoy a lazy night in this Friday, with junk food and maybe a glass of wine, do you think I will mess everything up? I just need a night to relax...
