Luv Hope you managed to sleep.

Frazzle That's good in a way about the metal taste I had that for about 1.5weeks before I took a test. It's a foul taste the only things that rid it was chocolate.

Welcome rocket Sorry to hear about your MC. They are awful. Fingers crossed for you. Are you going to test before your Af or wait for it to hopefully not arrive.

Hi. I'm going to try and hold off until the weekend... if I can! It is so hard trying to relax.

FrazzleRock · 18/04/2016 12:00

haha, love if I start on the chocolate and I'm not pregnant, I won't have an excuse for the added lbs. I'm still carrying added lbs from my MC Angry. But chocolate does sound like a lovely idea...

rocket hi there. I'm so sorry about your MMC, I also had a MMC in Feb. It's the worst feeling in the world. Not helped by still receiving letters of appointments and information regarding pregnancy and birth Angry I've just called the maternity department to give them hell, as I received my fourth letter on Friday despite telling them to remove me from their system.
Still, I'm pleased to hear you're back on the horse (so to speak), and oodles of luck, I hope it happens quickly for you.

So I'm out... Got a call from the hospital and the Beta HCG was BFN, however, my Progesterone was raised which totally explains continued my pg symptoms. I don't know why HCG was showing up in my urine but if I was PG, I'm not now. And breathe!

FrazzleRock · 18/04/2016 12:36

Oh fran Sad. How do you feel about it? Relieved? Or disappointed? Both I imagine Flowers

Frantasic · 18/04/2016 12:46

I'm surprisingly OK... I had a gut feeling something wasn't right. I just didn't have the 'pregnant' feeling. It was driving my mad that I had a ton of symptoms but knew something was wrong. Ha, at least I know I'm not menapausal just yet! It's a relief to finally have and answer.

FrazzleRock · 18/04/2016 12:56

Yes every cloud and all that!

Well I'm glad you can draw a line under it now and move on with TTC again Smile

Sorry about the results Fran. Now you can rest and not worry. Flowers

I'm so sorry about the results, Fran Sad you've had such a tough ride. Glad you've got some answers though and can focus on TTC again. How is your OH?

Love, good luck with sharing the news tomorrow. Are you planning on doing anything special?

And good luck to those of you testing over the coming days. I really struggled with the wait. Now I'm struggling with the idea of waiting 6 more weeks to shout about it. Reassurance scan this weekend so hoping everything is fine then my OH can tell his parents. I've told my mum, my SIL and a close friend as I want some support regardless of how the next few weeks go!

Well I caved and told him this evening after I picked him up from work. He made me stop and buy a test and take it when we got home. He is now ignoring me and I feel like I have lost my little bit of happiness now I have told him :-( don't know what to do or think now.

OP posts:
LittleHeart2014 · 18/04/2016 21:31

Oh no Sad why would he behave like that? You need support and after all it did take two of you! Perhaps he just needs a little time for the news to settle in. For now though you see and look after yourself x

Frantasic · 18/04/2016 22:40

Oh blimey love, that's a rough reaction! Men make me laugh, it's always a surprise to them when they have unprotected sex and you get pregnant.

Little... We're not in a full on relationship, we've been seeing each other for three years... He's not really known all of this was going on until yesterday so he only had a 12 hour stress fest. I don't want to parent with him. I got pregnant the very first time we slept together, that's when I MCed. I told him what was going on that time and he didn't believe me. He did in the end but he was a sh*thead about it to start with. He knows I would have a baby if I became pregnant but doesn't want to use bc and knows I'm not the pill. This TWW wasn't a planned one but had I been pg I'd have been over the moon. I would have wanted to do it alone. I sound like a baby thief now! Blush

charlotte1990 · 18/04/2016 22:59

Sorry haven't replied ladies. Been a busy day! Found out my son got into the primary school we wanted so relieved :) one less thing to worry about.

Rocket I know how you feel I misscarried I'm January wasn't as far as you but worse thing ever :( xx

Glad you are all OK ladies.

Men are strange things love he will come round in no time. Just let him think about it. Fran sorry for your results but spose it is a relief for you now you know...

I don't know how I am feeling at the moment think it's a bit early to tell still... only 6 days past ovulation but bit more mucassy down below... and may have seen a bit of pink in it earlier but trying to not over think it all drive my self mad other wise... other halves bday next Tuesday on the day I'm due on debating if I am to tell him or not will think about it when I know no point stressing I spose.

FrazzleRock · 19/04/2016 10:11

Fran I know someone who did the same, and she makes a wonderful single parent. She never expected anything from the 'sperm donor'. All four of her children have the same father (ic one set of twins!). If he didn't want children, he wouldn't have had unprotected sex, IMHO!

Love What's going on with DP this morning? I don't care if he's in shock, he was a cock for reacting that way Flowers

Charlotte I'm sending you lots of luck. lots of CM is a good sign. It's the only thing I don't really have, actually.

Talking of symptoms, I had a look at a website that listed 39 preg symptoms, I have 22 Hmm. And now I have slight nausea too, but I'm wondering if that could actually be this norovirus that everyone seems to have. DP said I'd be spewing my guts up if I had that, not mild nausea, but I do have guts of steel so still could be that.
Ovia app says it's test day tomorrow. I'm still convinced it's too early. Because my cycles have been so fucked up the past 6 months, they've averaged me at a 23 day cycle. And after a lifetime of 100+ day cycles it seems crazy to test so early.
I might wait until the weekend. See if my symptoms get any more severe, I hope this metal taste doesn't as it's driving me crazy!

FrazzleRock · 19/04/2016 11:23

In more symptoms news, I've been told three times in the past week that I looked suntanned. The one just now asked about it, i said we were in Florence a week ago but it wasn't that hot.She said "Well obviosuly you ate well, or something's giving you a healthy glow..."
Now she mentioned it, I've noticed my cheeks are permanently red like they were with my MC preg...

Dammit, bloody symptoms. if I'm not upduffed, then something odd is going on. Can humans have phantom pregnancies?

lovewatchingrainfall · 19/04/2016 13:06

Aww frazzle I don't know how you are managing not testing. Yes you can have phantom pregnancies. But if your having more symptoms then that is good.

Husband is still being a dick. Won't talk about it or to me. Apparently I have ruined Christmas now and he won't get me anything for our anniversary or my birthday both in November because of the thing as he puts it. Men are stupid.

OP posts:
FrazzleRock · 19/04/2016 13:38

Because I'm shit scared of getting a BFN and realising that all of these symptoms are in my head which means I've either gone utterly bonkers, or I have some dreadful illness like kidney failure or somesuch hyperchondria

I am outraged on your behalf by your husbands continued behaviour. I'd love to give him a massive slap. Is he always this childish?

charlotte1990 · 19/04/2016 13:50

hey ladies,
give him time he will come round probably a huge shock to him by the sounds of it he will soon calm down! how far are you?

ive been getting some niggly pains today aswell on the right side... drive my self mad thinking of all the little pains im getting here and there, to then find out im not next week will be annoying! I am taking my folic acid daily fingers crossed!!

Frazzle I would say just wait to done me no favours finding out so early last time found I was even more worrying... had so long till my scan and then the worst happened... maybe finding out early makes no difference but its so hard I didn't want to know as early this time but so find it so hard to not think about it... just think every day you don't test that little hormone is building up so more likely to be a positive if you are :)

Hi Charlotte am only 5weeks +2 so not far really but had two MC at 5 weeks and 8 weeks so being careful he has a long time to get his head around it just wish he wasn't being such a arse when I need him. He can be selfish at times and very emotional too. Can be quite a child!

I understand your worry frazzle but it all sounds good to me keep me updated with your progress

how are you doing Fran?

GerberaDaisy · 19/04/2016 15:29

Hello everyone!

Congrats to those with good news and sorry about bad / uncertain news. DH and I have a 4 year old DS and on cycle #2 for hopefully another DC. Now 8 DPO feel absolutely dreadful; tired, cramping, nauseated, sore nipples, food doesn't taste "right" but who knows. I've been on the pill so long again I can't remember what "normal" cycles are like for me.

Baby dust all round xx

Frantasic · 19/04/2016 20:47

That's my thoughts, Frazzle. He's a bloody science teacher so I'm guessing he knows the biology of it . Lol

Everyone else, I'd like to say a massive thank you for all the support I've received during my very tough TWW. It was confusing and stressful, but you guys made it bearable. I hope that there are BFPs all round. there'll be some very lucky babies because you're all lovely people. XxxFlowers

charlotte2204 · 19/04/2016 21:36

Aww OK good luck :)

My boobs are feeling a bit tender when I give em a poke! Fingers crossed...

It's good to have people to talk to i agree drive the other half mad if I was to mention all of these thoughts to him he would think I'm a crazy chick lol x

SoozC · 19/04/2016 21:44

Love, can't believe your DH! Men can be such idiots sometimes :(

Good luck to all those testing soon and good luck to all of those starting a new cycle!

Luvbeinmum · 19/04/2016 22:12
