I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now! Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

MrsGrealish · 22/03/2022 13:18

I had such bad period pains too yesterday like why? Still no bleeding. Body messing with my brain.
Ignore my rant.

Welcome @Mariabombia

MrsGrealish · 22/03/2022 13:15

It's crazy how all consuming it is. I thought I got a faint positive on one of the conceive plus tests I got this morning but it's no doubt in my head. I'll compare it to tomorrows and see if it darkens. AF needs to start and put me out of my misery

Charl881 · 22/03/2022 11:24

@Mariabombia how was the break? I need to do that next month at least I think.

I’m 10dpo but negative and think I’m out. Feeling pretty fed up about it all. Spotty and teary today, proper PMS symptoms for me.

Hi girls ,

Cycle 6 of TTC over here 👋

I've had a bit of a break from Mumsnet as I've been really struggling with the fact it hasn't happened yet and I don't think obsessing about it all has been helping, but I'm definitely finding it hard to stay away now I'm once again in the TWW!

How's everyone coping so far this month?
I keep thinking every twinge I'm getting is a positive sign 🤣 it's so hard not to symptom spot!

Hopefully we will have lots of December babies on this thread 💕

[quote Charl881]@BiscuitLover3678 aside from the late December birthday, do you think you would benefit from a month off?

I’m having an enforced month off it to be honest I think that will actually be really good for me mentally. I’m looking forward to not peeing on any sticks for a month. When I think how quickly the last four weeks have gone (apart from these last couple of days) then it doesn’t seem like a big deal to lose one cycle. Although I am sad this now means definitely no 2022 baby.[/quote]
This makes sense and I can totally see that. I hope you feel a lot better for it too.

We were all sick this month so weren’t doing it as ‘properly’ anyway so I feel I probably can do another month. I think I’ll have to wait and see how we feel after Af.

@BiscuitLover3678 it’s a hard decision as no one knows how long it will take them to conceive. You can always see how you feel after af finishes.

Really wish AF would just arrive now. Although still can’t decide if we’ll have next month off or not.

BFN for me today too @Charl881.
I had a 12 day luteal stage last cycle, so I expect af anytime from Thurs-sat. Hoping it’s sat and gone back to normal though. I’m not going to test again now unless af doesn’t show, as pretty sure it will.

Charl881 · 22/03/2022 06:45

@Mummyme87 Friday or Saturday (should be Saturday but I ovulated a day earlier than usual so guessing Friday). I don’t know why I do this to myself every month 😭

Mummyme87 · 22/03/2022 06:31

@Charl881 sorry for the BFN. When is AF due?

Charl881 · 22/03/2022 06:10

Another BFN for me again this morning so the FRER line must have been an indent.

Pretty sure I’m out now. Feeling sick again but if this was morning sickness then it would be showing on a test by now.

Good luck to everyone else testing this morning.

Charl881 · 21/03/2022 13:43

Is it sad that I know which pharmacies stock which near me 😂

MrsGrealish · 21/03/2022 13:42

I work in pharmacy and we only stock clear blue digital. Used to stock FRERs but probably got removed coz of all the complaints 😂..no I think they all went out of date.

Charl881 · 21/03/2022 13:18

@Graceybaby it’s probably that, I’ve also had a cold from DS and I seem to catch everything at the moment so wouldn’t surprise me.

Charl881 · 21/03/2022 13:17

@MrsGrealish have just seen your post on the other thread, thought it was this one.

I think I’m going to buy some more FRERs from the pharmacist this afternoon even though they’re more expensive than Amazon, just for some sort of peace of mind (yeah right).

MrsGrealish · 21/03/2022 12:56

@Charl881 in all honesty probably later today😂 with a cheapie.

Graceybaby · 21/03/2022 12:51

@Charl881

I feel so sick this morning. I’m either pregnant or have a nasty bug. I literally feel really hungover after two small glasses of wine, not usual for me at all and was the first sign with my DS.

I've had the same for about a week - think there is a sickness bug doing the rounds but I hope it's your BFP! Fingers crossed xxx

Charl881 · 21/03/2022 12:51

@MrsGrealish when do you think you’ll test again?

I honestly wish I could just sleep through these last few days of the TWW, they really drag. Don’t remember this at all with TTC DS.

AdaJones26 · 21/03/2022 12:39

@Mummyme87 sorry to hear about your ruptured ectopic - I can't imagine what you went through x

MrsGrealish · 21/03/2022 12:35

@AdaJones26 internet cheapies like one step (get about 50 tests for a fiver on Amazon) xx

Mummyme87 · 21/03/2022 12:33

@AdaJones26 IC is internet cheapies, like one step brand. I had two unplanned pregnancies, one is my eldest and the other resulted in a ruptured ectopic. Definitely easier in the sense of no early testing and symptom spotting, tested both times on the day AF was due and was no doubt about it

AdaJones26 · 21/03/2022 12:11

Hi ladies, just caught up on your messages. This thread moves fast. Sorry to hear about the BFNs. I considered joining the early testing but I am not sure I have the heart to get my hopes up. I think I will stick to if AF has not shown then test. What does IC stand for? Seen a few people mention these.

TTC is a lot harder than I thought it would be. A small part of me feels like people who had unplanned pregnancies may have had it easier (to some degree).

RMS0209 · 21/03/2022 11:47

@Charl881 just saw the next message, I agree with @MrsGrealish keep testing! X

MrsGrealish · 21/03/2022 11:41

@Charl881 Keep testing ❤️ I don't feel well either forced a biscuit down there. Mind OH had a bug last week might have caught that. But I'm more nauseous than he was.

My iPhone pinged last night that my period will be anytime in the next 5 days. Like I needed a reminder
