Valentines, pancakes, BFPs etc thread 2

Woo congratulations @Bringonbaby3!

I don't really know what's going on with me. If I'd caught I would be 4+3 and yet there's still not even a sniff of a line or AF

@Bringonbaby3 congratulations! Hope your cold goes away soon.

Morning! Think I might be joining the BFP club….

10dpo so it’s a squinter but something there!

2nd month ttc and last month had a chemical so feeling very pessimistic that it isn’t going to stick but keeping everything crossed.

Also still full of cold :(

@Mariabombia aw really hope this is your cycle 🤞🏻❤️ xx

Hi Ladies,
Just had a catch up on the thread, congratulations to those who have got those BFP's ❤
These threads really help me feel normal to be honest. I find the TTC journey so draining at times, someone else mentioned they do the due calculator for if they were to get pregnant which is what I do every time and drive myself insane!! I'm CD11 today, got a smiley on clearblue yesterday. DTD yesterday and Wednesday but then OH is on a 4 day stag, my app says ovulation on monday but the clearblue smiley has thrown me as think i must be ovulating earlier. Im really not feeling we've got any chance this month which is so hard. Sending positivity to you all on this rollercoaster xxx

@dancingontheceiling oh no you poor thing. Hope you feel better soon

@mightbeeyesmightbeno @purple29

Thankyou both that is reassuring. No spotting or anything just cramping so hopefully it is just a sticky little bean stretching away to make some room in there.

@Nico89 I had cramps with DS, they started before I got my bfp so I was convinced AF was coming but nope and they continued for a good few weeks. It was so unsettling but quite common. 🤞 its just a growing sticky bean that's stretching away at that uterus!!!

@Nico89 I had cramping on and off for about the first 6 weeks of my first pregnancy. Just remember your uterus is a muscle and it has a lot of changes to go though so i kind of think of it like leg cramps... but milder! I'm cramping right now, have had mild cramps since even before BFP.

Sorry I forgot to tag you @BH1926 x

Yeah first baby 😍 I just can't wait, want it to happen already!! We'll be going on to our 5th month ttc now 😕

Aww I bet!! That will be a lovely age gap then xx

@Mariabombia Thank you 😊 yeah your definitely still in with a good chance!
This is cycle 10 ttc number 2. We already have a DD she's 4. She's desperate for a sibling.

How long have you been ttc? Is this your first you are trying for? Xx

@bigalice thankyou. My last pregnancy was almost 7 years ago so I don't remember any of it !

@Nico89 when I was pregnant with my daughter I had cramping on and off for the first 8 weeks. It’s really unsettling but normal I am told 😊

@oldermam sounds like textbook symptoms fingers crossed for you!
@Bundaberg84 honestly I feel the exact same I didn’t ever think it would take this long after my miscarriage and one chemical. I just feel really low. I too had all the symptoms same as my last pregnancy, the sore boobs the nausea the super clear skin the vivid dreams, the frequent urination, the spotting. So it has been extra tough, goes to show AF and pregnancy early on can feel the same I guess.

My AF is arriving very very slowly, 3 days early i wish the gates would just open already. I feel really don’t have the energy to ttc conceive next month I have very long painful periods so by the time it is over I have to start getting busy and I just feel knackered 🙁. I feel like my dream is over for now and as I won’t be having more than another child so I might as well take a break. I also don't like the idea of a winter baby and dd starting school so i will try a more chilled approach for the next few months and see what happens. The knock off effect of all this on my mental health has been surprisingly overwhelming. I never thought it would be this tough so good luck ladies and don’t forget to take care of yourselves. I guess I have to make peace with the unknown and finally move on. I will update in the upcoming months if anything happens.

Any other ladies that have got a bfp or can remember their previous pregnancies... did you have /do you have much cramping? I don't remember much at all from my previous pregnancy and I'm terrified of losing this one I'm experiencing on and off cramping still (probably more on than off) a week on from my positive test and over a week since my missed AF.
I get a lot of cramping on one side anyway which is why I'm having an ultrasound next week but this is more all over.

@BH1926 & thank you 💕

@BH1926 ooo that's amazing!! Congratulations 👏🏻 you must be over the moon ❤️That gives me hope that not doing it as much & covid etc won't necessarily be a bad thing. Sorry to hear about your CPs, I hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy lovely. Is this your first and how long have you been ttc?

@Mariabombia sorry meant to say I hope you and DH are feeling better soon xx

@Mariabombia we didn't manage to dtd as much as I'd hoped either but got my BFP at 10DPO on Tuesday 😊 I'm trying not to get too excited as have had 2 CP last year. Just hope this one's a sticky bean!
Hoping this is your month ❤️ xx

@oldermam Sounds really promising! Let us know :D

@RMS0209 I think you replied to me on the other thread. Thanks for the info about covid affecting your cycle, hope you O soon! It may just have extended your cycle this month.

Aww thank you @Tinkerbell098 ! My birthday was really nice and I actually felt myself relaxing which, if I'm honest, I haven't felt since we began ttc!! So nice to think about other things.

Covids been crappy so far, I've been in bed most of the week , feeling absolutely exhausted. How were you when you had it? Glad it didn't affect your cycle. FW next week so I'm hoping me & DH are feeling a lot better by then because we haven't been able to BD at all so far this cycle.

It's at the end of the month which is really annoying. Got myself in a bit of a Dr Google loop last night, convincing myself I have every infertility and health issue under the sun 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ooo that's good love, glad it wasn't too uncomfortable , thank you for the reassurance . Great news about you ovulating.

Re the fibroid- sorry they've found that but at least you know what's going on and they are benign. Can they affect fertility? Did they say how long the nhs fertility clinic could take? I'm glad you are able to go private! Let us know how you get on 💕

@Nico89 congrats on the big fat pozzy!!! 🎉🎉 you must be absolutely chuffed 😁 all be best for Tuesday !!!! Keep us updated

@BH1926 thank you for the info. Hope mine will be similar. Not felt the best if I'm honest and we will probably dtd a lot less then we usually do this month but ah well! Hope you're well, have you tested?
