SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES - expecting more graduates in July!

[raddersmrs]

Rollover thread!

Hi ladies, I'm sorry I haven't been on here. I have been so sick. Hardly able to focus to message. Hope today is a better day.
Radders I had brown spotting in both my past pregnancies. With my first it was at 11 weeks and I was terrified and with my second it was in the early days when my period was due. Try not to worry and def go to the EPU as often as you need reassurance.

Parney wonderful pic and great that you feel so great! It's very exciting!! What was scan place like?

Tee thats brilliant news for your sister I'm sure you have mixed emotions now. I feel positive for you this month. Keeping everything crossed!

Mimi how many days past ov are you now? I'm up a lot during the night too. Sleep all over the place. Maybe a good sign!

Kate have a good holiday! Hope you return with a stowaway!

Footprints any news? Any sign of witch?

PS being anxious is absolutely normal. I fretted through my first two pregnancies. Particularly in the early days. I'm not fretting as much this time bit likely Cos I feel so sick and I don't have time with two young kids to mind.

Jem excited for tomorrow when you POAS!!!

Summer sorry AF arrived but glad you are positive and that you are giving up the cigarettes. I think they can affect fertility. They are certainly bad in the early weeks of pregnancy in particular.

Sorry if I missed anyone!

Morning girls

CD25 9 DPO

Catching up I've had the in laws to stay and DH got called in to work 🙄 They are lovely people but are full on. Having a general convo about becoming parents (they don't know we are trying) and they said "What you have to do is put the baby in its own room right at the start" 😳 I said straight away I would definitely NOT do that. They said Oh but you must!

Errrrrrrrrrrrrm - no. I think they could be fairly trying grandparents!

Anyway they have gone now so it's me and the cat. Back to the symptom spotting. I'm so 50/50! I've got lots of cloud white cm - lots. I've got a funny tummy - trapped wind and not quite right when I go. I'm having intense dreams, and my pulse feels fast. I've had quite an intensely achey lower back, and quite greasy skin.

I don't have sore boobs (quite unusual for this time in my cycle they are usually very sore and heavy by now - but don't trust the boobs etc). I'm also sleeping okay and not too anxious - which looking back through Pink Pad - I get sleepless nights and bad anxiety at around 9-10 DPO most cycles. But I got up really early yesterday and have been distracted all day so maybe it's that?

So that's where I'm at. Going to test tomorrow morning. I've got ICs and FRERs - maybe start off with an IC?

How are you radders? Hope no more spotting.
PS I hope the anxiety subsides soon and you can enjoy it more.
Jodders sorry you're so poorly.
Parney that scan pic is awesome!

Tee - wow what news, your lucky twin. Really hoping you can join her in pregnancy what an experience to go through together. Does she have any children already? When are you going to test?

Footprints and mimi- hoping no AF for you xx

Hope fw is going well nim and busta.

Time for and settle down to the tennis! 🎾🎾🎾

Hi all, cd 17 3dpo

Just downloaded the mumsnet app so I'm using that to post.

My daughter does dance classes and yesterday was the summer show. I volunteered to chaperone and I'm still recovering. I was really dizzy as it was so hot. I'm lying on the sofa watching masterchef but I'll have to get myself going soon. My FRER tests arrived, planning to test next Sunday.

Jem I'm exited for you testing tomorrow. Hopefully the lack of sore boobs is ha good thing. the thing about grandparents is no nod and smile and say "thank you for the advice but we have to do things in the way that's right for our family". Repeat as necessary. *

Jod* I really hope you feel better soon. Loads of sympathy.

Mimi hope AF stays away, when are you testing?

Tee congratulations to your twin, typical that she falls pregnant by accident! Doesn't make the stress any easier. My sister is trying at the moment too, it would be great to be pg together.

Ps
it's complete normal to worry all the time about everything, as much as you know you should relax and enjoy the moment. And the waiting never stops, when mine were tiny I was always looking forward to the next milestone.

Don't worry about the lack of dtd,my sex drive returned with a vengeance in the second trimester.

Footprints are you testing? Or waiting to see if AF arrives. I have a good feeling about you this month.

Radars, I'm sorry about the spotting, I know it's common in pregnancy but doesn't stop you worrying.

I've become slightly obsessed with this website - BFP stories by DPO

www.twoweekwait.com/bfp-by-dpo

Like that site Jem, makes for addictive reading! 11dpo and BFN on an IC for me, meh! Dawning on me that I'm still a long way from that finishing line. You still holding out for the morning? I'm really hopeful for you! Yes my twin has a little girl 11 months younger than my son, we both thought it would be similar gap 2nd time round, but I've been well and truly lapped! x

Any of our graduates get a BFN @ 9/10dpo?? ^

Oh tee there's still plenty of time for you to fall and be pregnant with her. And yes I've read of loooooads of people getting bfns until after their period is due then finally getting the long awaited bfp.

I did an IC earlier and got bfn - not too bothered. Try again tomorrow! Lots and lots of cloud white cm!!

Tee I didn't test until 11 dpo so I'm not sure what it would have been at 9dpo. I've read loads online about people not getting a bfp till 14dpo!

Hey everybody

Tee - congratulations for your sister but also understand your point of view. It will be your turn soon though! Keep positive.
I got the lightest of lines evening of 10dpo but you guys couldn't see it on picture if you remember. It was a right squinter! And if there were twins in there chances are I was producing more hcg which is why lines showed so early. So if only one it would've been negative definitely.

Spotting seems to have calmed down thankfully. See how we are tomorrow.

Jem I think people always butt in and have their own opinions on things. Just have to do what you feel is right!

Jod sorry you're so sick. I'm no where near as bad as you and I am struggling so appreciate what you are going through.

Parney scan is amazing and so happy all ok!!

So glad the spotting has calmed down Radders, it does sound very common. My twin has so much she thought it was a period. She's sure it lasted a week too.
I'm actually more like 11dpo, so meant to say 10/11dpo for graduate BFNs. Urgh, TTC and failing is the utter pits. Feeling so depressed about it right now

I didn't test til I was 5 days late so I can't help I'm afraid tee. Lots of people don't get BFP until period is due or late though. Chin up lovely!! Xxx

Thank you Jodders, hope you had a better day sickness wise! Have you told your boys or are you waiting? x

Cd2414dpo

Bfn today on IC -no line or markings at all. Had tummy cramps all day and temp dropped to 36.50 this morning so I know I'm just sitting waiting for AF. I'm disappointed but glad I have holiday to look forward to on thurs. Get my day 21 blood results tomorrow hopefully so will keep u posted.

DH actually said to me today I can't believe you haven't fell pregnant yet the amount of dtd we do. Totally chilled comment- secretly I think he's disappointed. He would never say.. So hoping he might make more effort next cycle.

Radders- glad it's calming down and you are ok X
Jodders- sorry u still feel sick - I really feel for u as having two boys also it must be so hard trying to play wife and mum with feeling awful like that. Really hope it stops soon for u.PS- i remember being constipated lots being pregnant. Hope your body finds a good balance.
Tee- sorry for your bfn, totally sucks eh! I feel symptomless apart from AF pains. Hope you still get a BFP! Hugs hon
Do u think there's something from 6dpo to 9dpo that makes u feel sick, tired and aching boobs? As I was so sure I felt pregnant so was a bit like oh? Really? No BFP? Mind playing tricks on me I'm sure.
Jem- fingers crossed for you still. Maybe too early. Yeah I've been reading that website too some good stories.
Mimi-any AF? Or BFP? Really hope it's your time.
Nim- no nothing here/ waiting for AF. I only use the mumsnet app, find it easier. Hope your on the Brazil nuts and pineapple.

Friend of mine tried for a year with every possible supplement, diet, dtd every other day and daily for couple days over LH surge and nothing. At Christmas time she didn't, she over indulged, sat in front of tv got drunk on baileys and it worked. She didn't know she was pregnant until 2 weeks after missed period when she felt tired and realised she was so late! Crazy eh?! Why can't it be so simple for us all?!

Sunmer- well done on quitting the cigs. Will be good for u in the long run. My step sister fell pregnant and is a smoker but found it so hard to stop whilst pregnant and the withdrawal and morning sickness made her feel so so bad. So probably better to suffer it now. X

Hugs footprints and tee it's all such a head fuck emotionally

Sorry wasn't on here yesterday. Broke my phone then had a killer AF migraine! Was in bed most of day. Sorry tee and footprints but we can hope for August BFPs together if you do come on.

Lovely scan pic parney! And hope you, radders, jodders and ps are feeling ok.

Good luck those in fertile week!

I'm on cd4 waiting for AF to leave! Then in the next wait for fertile week. Hoping my OPKs arrive soon!

Another symptom to note .... Shortness of breath. I can barely get up the stairs. I feel so unfit!

Tee don't lost hope ... I know it's difficult but there's still time for BFP yet.

Jem are you testing tomorrow?

Footprints - hope You're wrong and AF doesn't show. Goes to show with your friend how the stress of it Dan prevent it. It's like a vicious circle

I've had a wipe tonight and there was more of a pink twinge in It but to be honest was the first bit of the day so I don't feel too worried about it. Will see if there is anything in the morning.

Pepper roll on the fertile week for you!

Footprints sorry for your BFN, I'm very jealous you're going on hol tho!! Could be mistaken, but I reckon any symptoms pre-implantation are the result of increased progesterone. Then if implantation is successful it's the hcg hormone that takes over as the main symptom generator?
Radders hope no more pink cm for you. The anxiety really doesn't get better after BFP does it?! Really hope you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy properly soon.
Pepper an August BFP would be very welcomed. Exciting part coming up for you now x

It doesn't no tee! I think it actually gets worse. When ttc you kind of have a break from stressing about it. I find the last week of the tww was the worse.
Whereas I find everyday of pregnancy a bit of a worry!

The feeling sick and being tired is really wearing thin and there's so much more to go x

Radders I have shortness of breathe too and I have had it from before I found out I was PG!

I'm in bed since 8:30 - just lying here willing myself to not feel sick. I feel like the worlds biggest slob

Yeah think you're right there. Even when they're born the worry doesn't stop! I definitely relaxed more in trimester 2 & 3, not long until that milestone for you x

All this anxiety - who would be a woman hey men have no idea!

Yep radders I'm testing in the morning. I'm expecting a bfn but am hopeful to see what the rest of the week brings. Hope that pink was the last of it for you.

Good luck Jem for the morning.x

Still no AF here
It would be so cool to all get a BFP together this cycle!

Oh man. I just had the most awful awful nightmare! Been dreaming so much, this was awful. another symptom?
