Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

Everything crossed AF stays away and you get your BFP tomorrow @MummyBear2519

Sending baby dust to all of us who are on the wait.

MummyBear2519 · 06/02/2023 19:52

AF is due today and I’m to nervous to take a test. Just keep going to the loo to check AF hasn’t come yet. No symptoms that it’s coming but both my sides hurt like pulled muscles. I also have an awful cold which isn’t helpful, going to pick up a test after work tomorrow if it doesn’t arrive which I’m praying it doesn’t!

Loving the parks and rec reference @LuckyYou13 ! Halloween is the favourite holiday in our house, all the fun of Christmas with none of the stress, Halloween baby would be just fab!

I'm feeling really quite bloated last couple of days, I remember that happening in the TWW when we conceived DC#1, trying not to get my hopes up though because equally it could also be the bean chilli we had at the weekend!

LuckyYou13 · 06/02/2023 19:19

@elarcoiris so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. I had a missed miscarriage in December - found out at 12weeks. After one cycle between we are trying again. I'm 1dpo today and hoping for an Oct 30/31st baby πŸ‘» I'm hoping I won't obsess over this TWW however since I'm already on here 1dpo I don't think I'm doing too well with that πŸ˜….

Congrats @JJ2023! And congrats to anyone else pregnant with their October baby πŸ₯°

Baby dust to those of us still waiting to find out. I'm 🀞🏻 for a Halloween baby - like one of my fav characters April Ludgate πŸ˜†

Congratulations @JJ2023 !

monsteramunch · 06/02/2023 14:11

So excited for you @JJ2023 Flowers

Here's to us all having sticky beans!

JJ2023 · 06/02/2023 14:09

Hey everyone, got a BFP today on 10 DPO. Hoping now for the very best for this October baby!

Between Thursday to Sunday I had cramping and twinges and kind of a burning sensation. I also felt quite tired and a bit dizzy this weekend.

Baby dust to you all ❀️ Xx

Is it ok if I join? Have taken a few weeks off these boards after a β€œpregnancy of unknown location” that ended in miscarriage just before Christmas. Was advised to leave it a cycle before trying again after miscarrying on two consecutive cycles and think I’m now 1dpo on our first cycle back. Have been taking extra vitamin B and magnesium/zinc in the hope of boosting progesterone and keeping my fingers very firmly crossed!

Jealousofchiliheeler · 05/02/2023 17:10

I can usually manage to make it to day that AF is due but then always end up testing then. But I often find it doesn't put in an appearance until the late afternoon/evening so I really should try waiting at least an extra day, lots of money wasted on FRER! But, I've been tracking my cycles for a while and even though they are usually 28 days, I notice that about every six months I have an extra long cycle, around 30-32. The last time that happened was first month we were TTC, so that will probably be the case this month or next, stocking up on pregnancy tests now!

Mushroo · 05/02/2023 15:50

@ThomasinaLivesHere yup, definitely don’t have the patience to wait two extra days! Will probably cave and test 12dpo I think..

ThomasinaLivesHere · 05/02/2023 15:31

I’m the same. I’ve checked the calendar a lot just to check I’ve got it right. My Flo app is saying wait 12 days for a pregnancy test although my period is due in 10. If period doesn’t show I don’t know how anyone could wait an extra few days πŸ˜‚ Think I’ll just manage to wait 10 days and then will see.

Jealousofchiliheeler · 05/02/2023 14:39

Congratulations @monsteramunch !!!!! I'm hoping this is a lucky group!

Meanwhile, I'm only 4 days into TWW and feel a bit like I'm going insane. I swear the time drags even more with each successive month! I actually find myself checking the calendar several times a day recounting to see if maybe an extra day has somehow magically passed!πŸ˜‚

I feel the same!! I’m 5dpo today and time is going soooo slowly. I literally sit there looking at my calendar and googling β€˜what happens each day post ovulation’ it’s mad!

Thank you so much, let's hope it's a sticky bean!

Sending everyone else positive vibes too Flowers

@CinderRosie @ThomasinaLivesHere @JJ2023 @Natty83 @shieldmaiden7 @AussieMum888

Thanks so much!

Confirmed it today with a digital and I think today's line is a bit darker than yesterday's in the same spot / lighting (both at the three minute mark exactly)?

Still feel like I'm dreaming πŸ˜†

@2021lady PMS and early pregnancy symptoms are similar annoyingly so you might be surprised. Best of luck to everyone still waiting 🀞

2021lady · 05/02/2023 07:01

Congrats those who've got their bfp!
I'm 7dpo and have got my usual pms symptoms so pretty sure I'm out this cycle
Time will tell I guess
Been ttc nearly 2 years now

AussieMum888 · 05/02/2023 02:09

@monsteramunch huge congrats to you!! X

Congratulations @JJM13 and @monsteramunch

Natty83 · 04/02/2023 19:29

@Hummusanddipdip mine was also 1 day out but in the other direction - I'm 2dpo today. Still counts as two buddies πŸ‘ I'm going to try really hard to relax and above all not to test early x

ThomasinaLivesHere · 04/02/2023 19:10

I’m feeling optimistic but I’ll not know for about 2 weeks. The time is going to drag isn’t it? I’d really like an October baby.

Mrsrobinsonx · 04/02/2023 18:59

Loving all these bfp’s!
I’m literally praying to get mine this week πŸ₯ΊπŸ€žπŸ»

Hummusanddipdip · 04/02/2023 18:25

I think so @Natty83 does that mean we enter the two together?

Natty83 · 04/02/2023 15:03

Great news @Hummusanddipdip - O day tomorrow then so app only 1 day off is that right? x
