@GeoSmed I have an appointment tomorrow for swabs and urine test to see what's going on because I've never had this happen before. I've seen online that a lot of women who implanted late get bad cramps after sex before they get a bfp around 16dpo and period is due tomorrow but no signs of it. The cramping stopped after the bad ones last night. Now just feeling bloated, nauseous and tired and my boobs feel a lot bigger and heavier😩 and weirdly I'm in a good mood this week, I'm usually a mess the few days before my period so will just have to wait and see if my period arrives tomorrow🙄x x

That's good that they've got you in so soon! Are you still having bleeding or has it stopped? That sounds promising about the implantation and the sex causing bleeding when you're pregnant. I've done some googling and it is common for newly pregnant people to have it. It sounds exciting! Are you going to test tomorrow or you going to see what happens tomorrow with AF and test Thurs>

dabs9 · 30/05/2023 10:42

I'm so sorry to the people with temp drops and AF arriving! Hope you're all ok.

I will probably sound like a lunatic but a while back I started buying a "positivity purchase" on the first day of every cycle to try and give me a mood boost and a bit of hope. Might help some and be totally the wrong thing for others but I buy a little baby item with a vision of using it for my own baby some time in the (hopefully near) future.
If we never conceive then our friends and family will get some vvv special gifts for their babies 😅 xx

@GeoSmed yeah higher BMI is always their answer lol. They've been massively unpredictable and irregular since around December time, I went through an extreme stressful period around October time for about 6 months so I personally think it's due to that.
I do worry about pcos but the Dr seems sure it isn't that so I'm trying to trust the pro hahah.

Have you done IVF in the past? I'm just really scared of having to do it. I really don't want to at all (as I'm sure most people don't) but I think it's going to be our only chance (husband has low sperm morphology so I think that is having a big impact on us not conceiving, regardless of the Drs saying it shouldn't impact natural conception. Have read so many articles giving conflicting information).

Omg 3! I hope no more start juicing up hahaha. At what point do they tell you there are too many dominant ones to proceed?
How do you find injecting yourself? I think I'd struggle. So silly as I inject people every day at work but I think it's totally different when it's doing it to yourself haha. Xx

@GeoSmed but 10 months also feels like forever🥲 I'm due tomorrow or Thursday so just really hoping it doesn't arrive! My cycles are usually 31-34 days and this one is predicted 34 so today is CD 33 so probably getting period tomorrow. Just spoke to the doctors and they want me to go in and get some swabs done? What does this mean? Like and sti test? Because I've only been with my partner for the last 2 years so I'm going to be heartbroken if that's what they test for and it's +. I'm still convinced it's endometriosis but she said she doesn't think it is although I have every symptom x

Yeah I know it's easier to say 'only 10 months' but when you're in it those months feel like years. We've been stuck in limbo for 2 years as we couldn't even get going as I wasn't having a cycle or ovulating!
Generally post sex bleeding is because of something. Have you had your smear recently? Or sometimes some people do all the time (me included) But it could also be an infection / virus. When are you going in?

Temp dropped this morning so I’m out and not even gonna test.

That's what I was thinking too. Mine dropped by 0.2 so don't think there's any point testing tomorrow as period will probably arrive 🫠x

Ahaha. Can you imagine. I guarantee I go on about how I want to be pregnant and joke about twins but actually being pregnant I’m gonna be one of those women who think they’re dying when pregnant and everything is the worst and total drama. I can just see it now. I’ll be like mouse Jusy fat and hormonal.

ah haha yeah tbf, to say I’m 34, I look 26 (apparently 😏) and act 12 😂 fingers crossed she’s lovely and it goes okay today. Do you work remote or in office? Wow that dreamy. I’d love to work for travel or aldi randomly! Their marketing team are so creative. Come work for me we have an events role vacant atm 😂 be surrounded by geeky cyber techs - what’s not to love 🤔good luck anyway. Hope she’s lovely.

awww are you Irish then? Or do you just look Irish? Your husband sounds dreamy. Swap? 😂 js he naturally tanned? Well, my household is like a sunshine disaster waiting to happen. I’m really fair with white hair and skin that I’m pretty sure is just tracing paper. Husband is fair and bungle, tho it’s more strawberry blonde these days, but weirdly does tan. But also burns. So it’s factor 50 club here. He went on a stag few weeks ago and came back just bright red 😂 yeah I defo think that’s freaky! Does Adolf look more like you now he’s older? Xx

My pal's twin pregnancy was a breeze so you never know haha. 🤣

I'm the same, act 12 hahha. I'm always shook when people are my age and look way older! Although having a kid has added 5 years. 👵🏻 Thanks! I work three days, so normally in for two and at home for one. But this week I'm at home for two! Events sounds like too much hard work for me but thanks hahha 😉

I have Irish grandparents! Haha, my husband is African with lots of European heritage too, his parents are mixed etc. Haha I'm with you. but actually we all use factor 50 haha. Yes! He looks more like me by the day, BUT he's got his own nose which cracks me up.

@GeoSmed this! 100%. This is our 10th cycle trying and it does hurt when you get the negative results and a period, but I'm so glad I do get them because without them, there's no chance of a baby! When you think about it, it really is amazing what happens throughout the cycle and how much your body changes! x

Absolutely. It’s fascinating and at least you’ve had 10 chances like you say. 10 months is a long time tho I totally get that.
and very promising it’s not come since apr 28. Is today due today? X

Honestly 🙈 Hopefully you won't have to pay for anything soon and you get those twins 😉 I'm really not sure, he's quite the diva. It would be a good match 🤣

Yes, which is important! She is younger than me for sure, but I'm very youthful if I do say so myself hahaha. She seems quite mature! Maybe around 30. I used to work for travel brands, that was the dream 😍 except for the agency haha. I used to love community management and creative ideas for travel. SIGH... I think it's all pretty similar tbh, it's always hard to get into B2B when you don't have the experience, then you get in and it all feels super similar. I once missed out on a dream job (not salary wise) at Aardman because I didn't have any B2B experience. Hopefully I'll get another shot there one day 😅 Dulux sounds quite fun?

Oh wow, check out you, Daenerys Targaryen! Your hair sounds amazing. Unfortunately not, I'm very Irish looking with straight dark hair. My husband is mixed, so has tight curls. I was really hoping he'd look like my husband with his green eyes and beautiful complexion... But unfortunately he looks like me just with big curls. 🤣 What does your husband look like? It is so exciting, not knowing how your baby will turn out. You have no idea, so when they pop out it's pretty hilarious... Initially Adolf looked nothing like either of us. If he hadn't been with me the whole time I would've thought they swapped him 😅

Bubblesandtroubles · 30/05/2023 08:14

@Borkled sorry to hear that. 😔
I'm still technically in the mix but not got any symptoms I don't think. I don't temp at all so nothing to go from there.
I'm going to resist and not test til the weekend if no AF before then.
Good luck to anyone testing today. Xx

chlx3 · 30/05/2023 08:05

@GeoSmed the day after ovulation I spotted a tiny bit after but haven't bled after for almost a year. Last February I started bleeding during and it was so embarrassing. I'm just so confused about what's going on because I only get cramps when actually ON my period, never had them before and this pain was indescribable, but not one drop of blood since 28th april x

GeoSmed · 30/05/2023 08:03

chlx3 · 29/05/2023 22:26

I've just had the worse cramps EVER. Had sex then had such bad cramps I was sick. Never felt anything like it. And still no period which is due Wednesday. Anyone ever had this? Honestly, it's what I imagine the start on contractions to feel like🤣 IT HURT SO BAD. It's not pcos as I've been checked for that but I've been cramping everyday for a week and then that happened and to be honest it scared me🤣🥲x

Pcos doesn’t cause pain Jusy a fuck load of other shit instead. Do you bleed after usually or not? X

Atleast you know that there's always next cycle! I get so upset when period arrives but then feel grateful that Atleast I get period regularly and know that one day I'll have a baby🤍
Hope you're okay! x x

This is so true and our bodies are amazing, despite what we throw at them, they still show up for us every day and keep going. I’m still finding it novel that my body is having a full cycle atm, and all the usual things, I’ve not felt for years and years so it’s amazing even more. Remember it’s when not if. Your new family will start when it’s meant to. X

@Sealover123 They are probably unrelated 😅it's really unusual, although if it happened when I wasn't TTC I wouldn't think about it! Prickling across my lower abdomen. 🤔 It probably only lasted 15 mins.

@chlx3 I do recall having the worst cramps before my period was due when I was pregnant! It felt like thunder and lightning inside 🤣

I was doubled over in pain it was so bad!! Never felt anything like it!! EVER! But bbt dropped by 0.2 this morning so think I'm out this month :( contacted doctors and waiting for response about the pain last night because that did not feel normal🤣 I usually have really painful periods but that's when I'm actively bleeding. I had that pain last night and expected to wake up to my period, but no sign of it x
