Hi all 👋🏻

I'm currently 3dpo.. wondering if anyone else is roughly the same and doing the 2ww?! I haaaaate waiting. It feels like a punishment 🤣 just hoping for someone to go through this with!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate haha I'm a veggie too! I'm normally on the halloumi skewers & hummus at a BBQ🤣

@CrazyKJ you're so right, it really does feel like that 🤣 especially because you can't really speak to anyone about it haha! Still haven't told family yet but see them very often so think they'll be onto me soon 👀

CrazyKJ · 17/05/2025 09:26

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate hopefully you’ve got nice weather for the bbq 😊 joys of early morning swimming, we’ve got ours tomorrow lol.

@TigerLily38 Glad you’re doing okay 😊 it’s weird to start with isn’t it lol, took me until the first scan to really believe. Until then felt like such an imposter 😂

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 17/05/2025 08:34

I would be the same @TigerLily38! My husband is actually asking more this time round, as he just thought it would happen straight away so he's worried now it isn't doing.

I'm good thank you, just on way to DS's swimming lesson! Ha, I'm a vegetarian so a BBQ isn't my number one choice (unless I'm doing it myself) but I love all the nibbles! X

Hi all! How are we all?

@TigerLily38, any less in shock today?

Sorry I didn't get a notification for some reason! Yes, took me a day to really believe it though 🤣 husband was working away so felt like once he got home and I told him it really felt real then. Still POAS every day to check atm!

How are you both? A BBQ today sounds lovely - so jealous as I'm working! X

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 17/05/2025 07:23

Exactly!! I did no testing, nothing last time! It just happened! Hahaha uncaffienated and knackered, not a great combo!

We've just got a BBQ today, so AF will probably arrive then 🙃 x

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 16/05/2025 21:59

Yeah that’s what I mean. Just having a lot of sex worked the first time 😂 I even restricted my caffeine last month but all that happened was I spent the month uncaffienated and knackered lol.
I had that a few months ago where AF was threatening to come for a few days before she did. In an ideal world she isn’t coming (🤞) but hopefully if she is she gets a move on.
We haven’t got much on this weekend thankfully, not feeling very peopley if you know what I mean 🙈 How about you? X

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 16/05/2025 21:22

Im with you on not sure what else to do! Surely sex at the right time should be enough 🙃 AF hasn't fully committed but I feel she's on her way. So frustrating! I dont normally have cramps for so long beforehand so not sure what's going on there.

I'm good though. Happy it's the weekend 🥳 any nice plans? X

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 16/05/2025 21:07

Hey! Sorry didn’t get a notification that you’d posted 🙈
To be honest I’m still feeling a bit meh from AF’s arrival. Not sure what more I can try and do at that this point. I need a plan to help with my anxiety so struggle when I don’t have one. I’m sure it’ll all work out eventually though.

How are you? X

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 15/05/2025 19:43

Hi all! How are we all?

@TigerLily38, any less in shock today?

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 14/05/2025 12:43

Yeah I’ll be okay, find I just need to let myself be upset for a day. Gonna treat myself to a glass of gin tonight and then back on the positivity train lol.

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate hopefully the cramps are a good sign, I remember having lots of little cramps when I was pregnant so 🤞🤞

@TigerLily38 big congrats!! 🥳

TigerLily38 · 14/05/2025 09:47

Thank you, I am in literal SHOCK! internet cheapie had a v faint line so also dipped a FRER and that has a clear pink line!!

Feel sick and shaky now but I think that's the shock rather than symptoms🤣xx

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 14/05/2025 09:45

Oh @TigerLily38that's amazing!!!! Congratulations on your BFP!

OP posts:
TigerLily38 · 14/05/2025 09:43

OK I'm freaking out, there's 2 lines!!😭😭❤️

TigerLily38 · 14/05/2025 09:36

Ah I'm so sorry to hear that @CrazyKJ , it's rubbish and hope you're doing ok! ❤️

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate cramps could be a good sign (also being positive 🤣) fingers crossed for your BFP, it's still so early!!!

I'm about to go and test now, caving in after I said I wouldn't haha! Didn't sleep all night and woken up feeling a bit weird, could be in my head though!

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 14/05/2025 09:04

Aww no, I'm sorry @CrazyKJit's rubbish and there never seems to be any light at the end of the tunnel! I've got light cramps so am waiting. Fingers crossed it's something else and not AF (trying positive thinking now 🤣). AF due today or tomorrow though, and a BFN this morning.

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 14/05/2025 08:58

Morning, how’s everyone doing?

@TigerLily38 glad your mind is more at rest with the situation with your friends mc. Fingers crossed AF doesn’t arrive at the weekend 🤞

AF arrived for me this morning so onto the next cycle I guess 😔

TigerLily38 · 13/05/2025 12:24

Thanks so much both for your lovely replies and advice, I think as you say @CrazyKJ if it happened soon I would probably delay telling her for a little while ❤️ she actually rang me this morning for a chat and said that she still wants to hear how ttc goes for us and would still be really happy if we had good news, so that's made me feel at lot better!

Hopefully that's a good sign that AF hasn't arrived yet for you!! Got my fingers crossed for you!🤞🤞

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate think I'll test Thursday morning at the earliest - AF isn't due until the weekend for me as my cycle is usually about 29/30 days. I said I would wait til Sunday to test but I'll probably cave in 🤣 I know what you mean about the bigger threads too - I can't keep up with them and they are like constant reminders 🤣

Still no symptoms for me except some lower back pain today, but I've had that randomly happen at other times so not really classing it as anything new😅

CrazyKJ · 13/05/2025 12:20

I’m doing okay thanks, been busier than usual with work so it’s been helping to keep my mind busy. II agree about the bigger threads, they can be a bit much. I find them hard to follow so only really read or post on this one now. Fingers crossed for no visits from AF! 🤞 X

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 13/05/2025 10:42

Ooo could be exciting @CrazyKJ!! Fingers crossed she stays away! Mine is due Weds or Thurs. I'm thinking of coming off these threads, ironic because I started this one 🤣, but I think it has me thinking about it way more than if I wasn't on them! This one I like because there's just a few of us but the monthly ones I think is just too much! How are you otherwise? X

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 13/05/2025 10:37

Morning 😊 how’s everyone doing?
AF is due today but no sign so far, she can be a day or so late sometimes though so we’ll see. If she doesn’t arrive by the morning will do a cheapie test. Still not had a lot of symptoms other than my face feeling really greasy today. Although maybe that always happened and I don’t notice, who knows lol X

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 12/05/2025 14:57

Oh @TigerLily38please try not to worry. It's awful for your friend, and it would be difficult, but if it was me I would be happy for you! When are you testing?

Ahhh @CrazyKJ, fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't arrive! I'm due Weds or Thurs!

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 12/05/2025 13:16

Hello, how we all doing? 😊
I’m 8dpo and AF is due tomorrow. Still don’t really have any symptoms but my gut says AF is coming. Part of me still wants to test tomorrow if AF hasn’t arrived but 9dpo is early to get a positive. Although it’ll be the day of AF so don’t know really 🙈
@TigerLily38 that’s a tricky situation to be in, really sucks for your friend too. I don’t think there’s an easy answer but If you are lucky this month, maybe you could delay telling her to allow her time to grieve? Sending hugs X

TigerLily38 · 11/05/2025 20:19

Hi everyone, glad to hear you're all doing well, fingers crossed that no symptoms is a good sign for us all! I also feel totally normal lol.

I am a little worried though...my best friend found out yesterday that she's had a MC at 8 weeks, after just having a scan to confirm everything was OK 😫😥 It made me feel really worried about getting a BFP this month which I know sounds silly but I feel like I would feel so guilty and sad as well as really happy. Brain has been a bit all over the place for the last 24 hours 😥 x

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 11/05/2025 20:13

Mine would soak it so he can only have his water pistols and the hose for watering the plants once my washing is in 🤣

Do you know, it has popped in my head too, the no symptoms. But im trying not to dwell, as you said the other day, what will be will be!

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 11/05/2025 15:11

Ah no what a rough night, hopefully you have a better one tonight 🤞 Yeah can’t beat the smell of the washing fresh off the line lol. My little boy is such a splasher so I don’t dare put the washing out at the same time as his pool 😂
There’s a small part of me that wants to believe the lack of symptoms compared other months is a good sign. Realistically though I know it’s wishful thinking lol X
