Anyone testing around the 25th?

[Wildwaterfalls]

Looking for company! I'm 1dpo now (I think) and already feeling nauseous.

We're TTC#2, DD1 is 10 months, still bf so some luteal phase issues .

We hit all the right days with dtd I think so fingers crossed.

Anyone else?

[Wildwaterfalls]

Poopy sending you some don't test yet vibes for tomorrow ! As you say focus on the first day of the holiday!

X five days late - wow - keep us posted!

Shell many congratulations

Cupcake you're testing tmw right? Good luck!! Will be checking this thread for an update

Doctor sorry to hear re AF cramps. But I've often read about people getting cramps in very early pg...

Boooo re BFN Shreddies. Still a 13% chance though - maybe test again in a couple of days? Who knows how accurate those stats are anyway...

I really don't know what to think here... On the plus side I'm more hungry than usual and still making frequent trips to the loo. But on the downside I have no other symptoms and some spots have appeared on my face which is usually an AF sign .

[Cupcake11]

I am indeed testing tomorrow. Not feeling very positive so the luck is much appreciated thanks! :)

[poopyisapig]

Cupcake - fingers crossed for you!

[Cupcake11]

BFN for me good luck everyone else!

[xwonderingx]

Hey , woke with back pain , feel slightly sick but I don't know if that because of worry I just just don't know whats going on, just tested bfn :( now 6days late x

[poopyisapig]

Oh no cupcake, I'm sorry. Do you think af is imminent then? And xwonderingx I wonder what is going on there then?!

[xwonderingx]

I don't know I'm really confused, I don't know what to think , I have more tests coming in the post , so that will be a few days if still negative , doctors it is ! X

[poopyisapig]

Yes, doctor for a blood test would be a good idea. It's very strange!

[PixieBumbles]

Newbie here, can I join? This is only our first cycle of TTC but I have classic early pg symptoms (cramping for the past week or so, nausea, constipation, bleeding gums and just generally feeling rather out of sorts!). I'm trying to keep telling myself it's early days and the chances of a BFP this month are slim but I can't help getting carried away!

AF is due on Friday but as I'm going away for the weekend I'm planning to POAS on Thursday

[Wildwaterfalls]

Oh sorry Cupcake! Very sad . Really hope that next cycle will be your BFP cycle! Or is there an outside chance you ov later than you thought? My cycles are certainly all over the place.

Very strange x, dr appointment does sound sensible.

[Wildwaterfalls]

And hi pixie that all sounds really promising. Fingers crossed for you on Thur. I'll be testing then too if I don't cave before

[Doctorhappy]

Oh cupcake that sucks. Still if you haven't had AF yet then maybe there is still a chance? If not I bet there will be enough of us left at the end of this week to keep each other company next month!
X that is weird - are your cycles normally very regular?
Pixie that all sounds very promising!!
Still really crampy here, so annoying and am veering between telling myself there is still a chance until AF arrives and convincing myself that it's all over for this month. It's such a rollercoaster!
Poopy have you managed to resist poas?

[poopyisapig]

I caved.

I was in superdrug at 9am buying suncream for ds and I walked past the pregnancy tests.

So I bought a first response, based on the fact that I feel so tired I could go back to bed and sleep all day and that I have lost 5lbs in weight over the weekend and have been starving.

I have a faint line . It's not one of those 'hold it up under a florescent light and you can see it' faint, it's properly there, visible in all light lol, light pink.

Mixed feelings, as I know I have no problem falling pregnant, just staying pregnant.

[xwonderingx]

No my cycles are always a few days late early (mostly early) never 6 days late and never get back pain and I woke with it pretty bad, back is still hurting , but no cramps today , I had both when I was pregnant with my son , its just a waiting game now x

[Doctorhappy]

Oh poopy that's brilliant news! Congratulations!! Have you told DH yet? Try not to feel to anxious, I know you had such an awful experience but it does not mean you are at any more risk than any other pregnant lady of that happening again. And they say that the more symptoms you are experiencing the better in terms of risk of mc - sounds like you have been feeling really grotty which is good (iykwim!). Hopefully there will be at least one or two more bfps from this thread to keep you company and in the meantime we are all here if you are feeling anxious or worried
Try to enjoy - its such an exciting time!

[poopyisapig]

No, I won't tell him.

The last time I fell pregnant it was awful, he didn't believe a faint line, made me wait and re test a few days later and then got in a mood because I'm not psychic and didn't realise he'd had a bad day at work. It ruined it for me completely and made me desperately sad.

I am keeping it to myself for now, after my mc last time, nothing is going to ruin this for me, not even him.

[poopyisapig]

Sorry, that all came out a bit wrong.

I want this to be different from the start. I am sure the stress I was under played a part in my mc.

Now that I know, I can talk to dh about when he wants to test. I know that some people may think it's deceitful and wrong, but honestly, I want this time to be different and I had to know because, well, it's my body.

[Doctorhappy]

Oh poopy sorry DH reacted that way last time - not the response you need at all. Do you feel ok about keeping it to yourself? Have you got a good friend or family member you could speak to over the phone? Of course you couldn't know how his day at work had been and more importantly that isn't an excuse for being unsupportive.
X - was the test you did reliable or a cheap one? Might be worth splashing out on a decent one today?

[poopyisapig]

No, I don't have anyone to tell - thank god for mumsnet! After what I went through in April/May this year, I actually feel like a few days of just knowing and keeping it to myself might be helpful to me.

[xwonderingx]

I've used 2 different brands , cheapy £1 ones and asda brand ones abit more pricey , going food shopping later maybe I will pick some more up !

[poopyisapig]

xwondering I know they are all supposed to be the same despite price etc, but honestly, for some reason, first response are the only ones to have been ok for me. Even last time, the first response showed a strong positive (the day after I was due) and some cheapies showed negative.

[Doctorhappy]

That's true poopy, will give you a chance to let it sink in and for you to get used to the idea. Plus it can feel quite nice and exciting to have a secret like that, that only you know. I hope your DH is kind and supportive when you decide to tell him.
X keep us posted! Might be worth just booking a GP app for later in the week as well before they all get booked up.

[Wildwaterfalls]

Oh yay poopy that is wonderful news! Congratulations!!

I understand you are feeling nervous about it and if course it is up to you when you feel ready to tell people. Please do keep talking to us though until you're ready to tell people in real life.

[poopyisapig]

Doctor - have decided to go private this time (been saving a loooong time). I have a private gp as well, so no real point yet, the last time she said to see her 8/9 weeks and that was just to refer me to the hospital. I am not looking into anything until ten-ish weeks though, just incase, aside from probably going to the EPU if I make it to six weeks. After my MC, they said to come in when I fell pregnant again for a scan to check all is ok.

Off on holiday for a week sat. We were going to travel round spain and france on the train, but thank god we decided to hire a car to do it at the last min!

[InMyShreddies]

Congrats poopy!

Enjoy having it as your own little secret, get really secure in how you feel before you tell DH, and (without tiptoeing round him) tell him when it's a good time. Hopefully it'll go better than last time, maybe he knows he was a dick last time? MCs are tough on both of you but much much harder for the mum. Xx
