Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?'

Thread 12. Welcome!

We do not judge, we enjoy TMI, we i encourage waiting to poas nobody listens and all the grossness you can find from a group of intelligent, articulate ladies.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kats stats I have been dubbed the resident piss stick queen and if you don't test, you get a Starky's Star

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind and well meaning but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly don't convince yourself your pregnant in the tww

Hi all sorry haven't had time to catch up and read the thread, but congrats to the new grads!

I have some sad news - started to get bad cramps and pink spotting last night which today developed into a full on period. I guess I've had a chemical pregnancy. I'm going to poas tomorrow but fully expecting it to be negative now

I haven't had a single symptom, so it obviously just wasn't to be this time. I've just had a roller coaster of emotions as we'd actually stopped trying and I guess it'll be nice to have a drink on my wedding, but I was so delighted when I got that positive and heartbroken now.

HepKestrel · 07/03/2016 21:30

So sorry Harriet!
[Flowers] and [hugs]

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/03/2016 21:34

vix I've had that! Almost like a 'I knew I was going to come on but phew relief now I've actually come on that I can start a new cycle and I can have a giant glass of wine! Somebody pass me the bottle opener!"

Have you got any pics of your opk's hep ? Did you run out in the middle of the cycle? That's so annoying!

Vix - I can't believe I'm saying congratulations on AF but seriously, congratulations. Limbo Land sucks.

Harriet - I'm so sorry. I experienced a similar situation in January - got a BFP, was delighted, started bleeding a week later. It's just heartbreaking, and it hit me really hard. Look after yourself.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/03/2016 21:36

Oh harriet I'm so sorry 🌹💐🌷

RaeSkywalker · 07/03/2016 21:39

Oh harriet I'm so sorry

vix nothing here yet! I am not coping well, feeling very anxious and restless. I will be relived if AF does turn up now so I know what you mean!

HepKestrel · 07/03/2016 21:39

The gap was when I had food poisoning visiting family. The test line today is very faint. I'd take a photo but the cat has fallen asleep hugging my foot....

Confusedcat1 · 07/03/2016 21:40

I'm so sorry harriet, that is so sad. Take care of yourself please xxxxxxxx

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/03/2016 21:42

Well you definitely can't move then hep snoozing pets take precedence! I once sat dying for a wee for about an hour when Nacho was a tiny puppy because he was on my lap asleep and I couldn't beat to move him!

vixarooni · 07/03/2016 21:47

I'm so sorry Harriet :( take care.

starky yes, exactly that!! I'm like "roll on cycle 3 already!" I had a baileys last night before I even got it. Had too much chocolate now to have anymore

Such a crap time rae hope something comes along for you, does it feel like anythings looming?

ipatches I'll take it!! I feel inspired this month. Oh is keeping his phone away from his balls in preperation.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/03/2016 21:52

It's almost like a "well thank fuck that wait is over with, I can calm down and breathe again now!" As I get past about 9 dpo I find myself getting a bit tightly wound and panicky sort of, the hell of the tww I think is definetly worse the last few days!

HepKestrel · 07/03/2016 21:53

Photo is a bit dark, but a clear negative at 8pm today. I have been using clearblue until now. That was also negative this morning.

But I will learn from this cycle. Its just practice. And I will stop poking my boobs

Ni4444 · 07/03/2016 21:55

So sorry Harriet. Look after yourself xxxx

My Amazon basket is now holding iron supplements, vitamin e, organic Raspberry leaf tea, and agnus cactus. Can somebody please talk me down from spending a small fortune on supps which will not magically make me pregnant?!

Jamjar12 · 07/03/2016 22:00

I'm so sorry Harriet, that's such sad news. Sending hugs your way :(

RaeSkywalker · 07/03/2016 22:01

vix I've felt like something has been looming since Friday- light cramps, sore boobs etc. I wonder AF coming later means I ovulated later? I haven't used opks so I've got no clue. Argh.

To top it all my boss has been texting me updates on everything that's gone on today. I have so much to catch up on- we have a big deadline looming for which a key member of staff seems to have abdicated all responsibility. So I'll have to drag myself in even if I still feel ill and take control of it .

vixarooni · 07/03/2016 22:01

I hope pregnancy is easier!!

RaeSkywalker · 07/03/2016 22:04

Ni I took Agnus Castus for a year when I came off the pill. I think it really helped to kick my cycles into some kind of order. Maybe I should start taking it again! I seem to remember reading that you shouldn't take it in the 2ww though (I'm not 100% sure on that, it's been months since I read any literature on it). It does taste and smell foul too, so be warned of you're taking the tincture!

SuchaJem · 07/03/2016 22:05

So sorry harriet take care of yourself xx

RaeSkywalker · 07/03/2016 22:05

Haha vix I have a horrible feeling that it's not!!

HepKestrel · 07/03/2016 22:11

Sorry about your mum ni, sure she means well...

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/03/2016 22:12

ni don't buy them all. Treat yourself to one or two and then draw a line under it for a few weeks. You don't want to overload tour system with a fuck load of supplements, it could play havoc with your cycle, especially if you start it all at once.

starky it does feel like a long time, maybe I should try again and hope I get a different receptionist?! Or just get them to explain it to me a bit more. It feels like they don't want to see me until it's a more viable pregnancy ... which is kind of horrible as it's already quite a stressy time worrying about it sticking

ElleSarcasmo · 07/03/2016 22:23

So sorry to hear your sad news Harriet. Hugs to you

ElleSarcasmo · 07/03/2016 22:23

Wishing you all the luck in the world Kwick 🍀
