TTC chat thread 4

@Hjudge56 that's the only way to get through it. You'd drive yourself mad otherwise. My cycle this time was really odd. I cramped from ovulation right up to 8 dpo then nothing then cramping again on hols, followed by bleeding. So weird. Likely as soon as I write this my insides will fall outta me 😂 I've done a few of the cheapie one steps and they are still showing lines BUT they are unreliable. I'll do a proper test tomorrow and hopefully get on with the next cycle xx I'm literally fed up with DTD now 🙄🙄😂

@MrsCristianoX so sorry to hear you’ve been in discomfort on top of the bleeding. Is there anyway it’s implantation? Yes I think I’m about 7DPO. I had random cramping 5&6 DPO and a sore right boob haha but nothing today. Just trying to crack on with life and not focus too much on it!

@Hjudge56 I'm doing ok xx the bleeding lasted for 2 days (it never lasts 2 days) so I'll do another test tomorrow for closure. Spiky pain on my right hand side this morning which was not cool 🙄

How are you getting on? Are u finally in TWW? Xx

How are you feeling @MrsCristianoX ?

@wellhelloitsme ahh limbo land I hate it there Xx

@MrsCristianoX thanks

Still testing negative but having the worst period pains and no period so I'm in no man's land.

I'm convinced it's my period as the cramps are exactly like the normal worst ones I get.

Just no AF despite it being due yesterday.

@MamaSJ15 @MrsCristianoX I'm so sorry lovelies - sending you hugs and hope you're ok xx

@MrsCristianoX oh I'm sorry. It must feel so crappy. Are you home from your holiday? Did you have a good time despite the bad news?
I'm okay thanks. Got a house move to keep me occupied! I'm knackered already 😂 moving next weekend now.

@MamaSJ15 actually wanna scream at everyone but doing my best to hold it together 😭

@MamaSJ15 nope! Wanna scream into a pillow. How are you?

@wellhelloitsme thank you.
it is horrid isn't it. i'm sorry you get like that on your period, that sounds awful. could you maybe use a sanitary towel for precaution? i would say it wouldnt be very comfortable removing it if af doesn't arrive, but that's your choice of course 😊

@MrsCristianoX thank you. Are you feeling any better?

@wellhelloitsme I did the precautionary tampax on holiday so not tmi here

@MamaSJ15 sorry about AF🙁

Our bodies can be so cruel cant they? Woke up with terrible period pains and massive bloating, like yesterday, but still no period.

It's obviously coming but every other month ever my period has arrived as soon as I've had these exact pains. Within an hour or so. This time, over 24 hours. Ugh.

And I have a big do to go to today and usually about 12 hours after my period starts I'm doubled over (suspected fibroids / endo - waiting for scans) so I'm dreading it. Also have to get really dressed up and scared of leaking too.

TMI but is it dangerous to use a 'precautionary' tampon so that when it starts I don't leak?

Just wish it would fucking start now so I can prep accordingly and accept this month is out.

I feel angry with my body today 😞

Sorry to hear and best of luck for next month

And AF has arrived this morning. On to the next cycle 👍

@Hjudge56 not a huge amount but lots of cramping. I know by now this is a bad sign. And on we go..😢 I would put money in me having a higher killer T cell in my blood it just feels like uterus under attack if that makes sense?

Good luck with your TWW 😘

@MrsCristianoX I'm so sorry! That's horrible. I hope you're feeling better to enjoy your holiday!

@MamaSJ15 its due on the 17th!

@MrsCristianoX All 3 of those tests have lines I can see x

@MrsCristianoX oh I am sending you a huge hug ❤️ Are these tests from today? Did spotting start today? You have been on such a journey… are you bleeding lots or just a bit?

Changed username slightly. DH is still being weird about Mumsnet 🙄 in a fair bit of pain unfortunately hopefully it'll settle tomorrow and i can sort my life out.

Hey ladies looking like another chemical for me. I'll attach the tests. They were too faint for 12dpo amyway and I was doubled over in pain yesterday on the beach before the spotting started. I could literally cry I'm so frustrated 😭 really f**k this ☹️

@Hjudge56 fingers crossed for you! When is AF due?
Thank you, I really hope so!!

@MamaSJ15 yeah it’s confusing as it’s been on and off all day… Google says it’s possible to implant that early but we shall see!

well that sounds very promising for you! I have a good feeling for you ❤️

@colourPink hello 😊 it's not nice is it. The journey starts out all hopeful and positive and slowly become negative and draining (which probably doesn't help the situation!). Hope you're not feeling too down. We're here for a chat any time 😊
