@saltandvinegar1 let us know how you get on!!

I stupidly couldn’t resist testing again this morning and still a BFN, hoping I’m just too early!

You will get your BFP very soon 💕

Hello everyone
We started trying this month with no 3. Af due in 3 days. I did a test a few days ago and I think I ‎saw a really faint line. Will test later shortly again.

Good luck to everyone 💕

@pinkpirlie oh was it the slippery pulse thing? Mine told me I had that one month too, but my AF arrived in the end. I always wonder if that was a chemical but I’m glad I didn’t know about it at the time. Glad you are doing ok, just take it a day at a time. Have the symptoms got quite bad? My boobs felt like they were on fire and I was so tired I was in bed by 8pm most nights.

I feel so relieved about the house, but not excited or anything, I just feel tired. I wonder if my body is finally relaxing and now just wants to sleep - free of worries about that.

I can’t believe it’s been a year too! We’ve all been through a lot and being able to talk to women in the same situation has helped so much. It really makes a difference.

@Annapolis35 so happy your house is sold. And you can now relax a bit. Splitting the sale and purchase is a good call and hopefully a lot less stressful, so hopefully you can enjoy that journey a little more when it comes.
Thank you so much for such a lovely message on the other thread about the anxiety. It made me cry a little, and have really trying to hold to those words the past several days. 💜

@kalixxx I agree with the others. If you can, avoid testing early, I try to wait until I'm a few days over due. Good luck, and lots of sprinklings of baby dust.

@Shaker21 it's crazy it's been a year almost already of our thread. It has been such a journey for everyone. So many ups and downs but I feel like we are all really supportive of each other and it has really helped with the highs and the lows.

I went for my first "fertility" accupuncture today. She joked how she'd done her job and I could go home. She placed several needles to help with anxiety, sleep and tender breasts. She also took my pulse several times before and after and said I was definitely pregnant (which we obviously knew) as the pulse feels different when someone is pregnant. I will go monthly now.

@Shaker21 no not moving yet, we were selling to be nearer family so in rental while figure out where to go to. Need a few months off though!

@kalixxx I am the same as shaker and never bother early testing and just wait for period to arrive. Can’t deal or be bothered with the ups and downs of that and constant disappointment

Shaker21 · 16/01/2023 13:33

Oh yay @Annapolis35 !! That is such good news! Are you busy moving now?

Welcome @kalixxx, it may just be too early. Definitely re-test in a couple of days time. I find after so long of trying now that I just wait for AF to arrive as its much less heart ache after more months go on. Fingers crossed you get yours soon.

Annapolis35 · 16/01/2023 13:29

Oh wow @Shaker21 yes I remember I got pregnant the first month I signed up!! How naive haha. Thank you @pinkpirlie. ladies I am delighted to say the house sale has gone through 🥳🥳🥳

@kalixxx welcome! It’s still very early days to test so could mean little at this point. Wait a few days and test again? You never know, you could get lucky first month.

kalixxx · 16/01/2023 10:30

Hey, can I join!

I’m new on here as this is my first cycle TTC #1!

My cycles are 28-34 days and I’ve not tracked ovulation but I think I’m 7-9DPO going by cycle usually being 30 days long.

Took a clear blue ultra early digital test this morning which was a BFN, hoping it was too early!

Good luck to you all!

Mums net has really opened my eyes that maybe I was being naive thinking it will happen first try!

Shaker21 · 16/01/2023 10:27

Wow, that is crazy...I just thought I would have a look when the old thread was started! @ANP2020 you started that thread February 2022! @pinkpirlie and @annapolis35 also started chatting with you February and I joined in May 2022! That has gone so so fast all of us talking together on here!
