TTC chat thread 4

@Hjudge56 I think you'll get a line with an FRER! ❤️ I'm ok 6dpo and very crampy on one side. I feel like I'm always complaining about cramps 🥲

@MrsCristianoX okay I’m going to take your advice and stir clear of digital. May get an FRER but I’m just too scared. I really hope it’s my month!

how are you doing?

@Hjudge56 I've never seen a line like that and not been pregnant. Also it'll get way stronger v quickly. Don't go near a digital until Wednesday. I'd risk an FRER though x

@MrsCristianoX do you 🥹! Is 13Dpo too late for a faint line though? I am too scared to buy a FRER or digital. My cycles are usually 26-30 and I have 31 today. There is a touch of pink but camera isn’t picking up. So worried it’s a chemical with it being late for a faint but if yesterday was implantation after the small amount of pink blood and brown discharge then would it be dark yet?

@Hjudge56 holy crap!! I think that's positive!! ❤️

I’m actually around 13DPO I think

@MamaSJ15 and @MrsCristianoX im going to need your eyes!

1 day late and I’ve done 3 cheapies. Camera isn’t showing but there is a tinge of pink. I did an OPK as I read that darkens as HCG rises?! I’m probably 14-15DPO which is the concern on how faded this line is. The test under the OPK is from this morning and the two dried up ones are from last night. I had cramps yesterday and then pink and brown blood when I wiped last night. I put a tampon in thinking AF was here but when I pulled it out this morning it was just light and brown no red at all. Still no sign of AF.

can implantation happen this late!?

@monsteramunch AF has just arrived.. never mind, will try again next cycle

Thanks so much @Eka94 I've got everything crossed for you and sending positive thoughts either way

@monsteramunch ahhh I’m sorry to hear that, I probably won’t be far behind you. Wish AF wasn’t late it just confuses us and gives false hope! Couple of weeks and then we can try again 😊

Sorry you're struggling too @Eka94 it's such a rollercoaster and completely emotionally draining isn't it 😞

AF has finally arrived after four days of painful cramps. So now I'm gutted yet again and can look forward to another five days of pain at least, because I have such horrible periods.

I'm feeling very wobbly and hope I can just hibernate this weekend instead of having to see anyone and put a brave face on.

@monsteramunch im having similar issues. Flo said I was due on today but… nothing. My own calculations based on previous cycles were that I should’ve started AF on weds or tues. did a test last night which was a firm negative. Not having any symptoms of anything and just feeling very fed up as I’m just waiting for AF but still have that tiny glimmer of hope 😔 I’m on CD28 now and my last 2 cycles since coming off the pill have been 26 then 24 days.

@alwaysseeingstars exactly the same with us, I'm the main earner and weve just moved to a house where the rent is higher 🙈 but we'll be fine! 😂 Baby would be due mid July 😊

@Kitty901

Oh no! That must have been a real shock but really glad to hear everything is OK.

I had all my period symptoms (cramps, skin breakouts, backache, tiredness, grumpy) other than bleeding on the day my period was due and the three days following. But negative tests including yesterday (three days late).

Now four days late, period symptoms have gone and still no bleeding. But as I had a negative test yesterday which was 15DPO, I'm assuming it's on the way.

So frustrating 😞

@MamaSJ15 that's only natural, my DH has been worried about money since we were TTC, now it's both of us panicking as I'll only get SMP and I'm the main earner! Some serious working things out needed over the coming weeks... What will your due date be?
@Kitty901 oh no, hope you're ok? luckily baby is super protected in there, but look after yourself as that's not a nice experience at any time - very glad nothing is broken!!

@Kitty901 thank you. I'm glad we didn't give too!!
Oh no! I really hope you're okay! ❤️

@MamaSJ15 omg congratulations that is amazing 😍 love seeing positive tests!
I remember when you said your husband was concerned about money, i am so glad you guys didnt give up as money is always a concern and they are never enough! 😆

@alwaysseeingstars i am with you! On top of this i managed to fell down the stairs last night all the way from top to bottom and hurt myself quite badly. We spent the whole day at the hospital today but thanks God baby is fine and i have nothing broken 😭 i was so scared! I am just all bruised now and in pain arghh

@alwaysseeingstars aw lovely! So excited for you!
He was happy when I first told him then later on he was a bit anxious and started worrying about money again! But overall this is what we want so it's definitely good news!

@MamaSJ15 we are, we've got a scan next Thursday 🥰
How did DH react? 😊

@alwaysseeingstars aw lovely! Are you gonna find out the sex? I'm all good thank you 😊 AF would have been due today, currently 4+1 so very early days. Getting a bit of lower back ache on and off and I've been very hungry today 😂

@MamaSJ15 I'm 18 weeks now 🥰 struggling a lot with tiredness but otherwise pretty good! How are you feeling? xx

@alwaysseeingstars thank you 😊 how are you doing? How far along are you now?

@monsteramunch it certainly helps to know you’re not the only one! And you’re right you do still hold on to that bit of hope.

everyone is going through their own unique journey on here and I think we will all understand there will be a mix of good and bad so don’t worry 🥰

It's horrible isn't it - the bit where you're almost certain AF is coming but there's always a little bit of you that hopes. Then it's even worse when it finally does arrive.

I'm sad you're going through the same thing but it helps to have a pity party pal on here as sometimes I feel bad for bringing the mood with bad news when lovely people are sharing their BFPs

@MamaSJ15 oh my gosh, congratulations!! thought I'd check back here and see how you were getting on, that's wonderful news!
