Needing some 2WW buddies.

[OnNaturesCourse]

Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

Morning my lovelies!!! How's everyone doing? I was feeling a bit flat as I can sense AF approaching but took myself out for a run & feel so much more motivated & free! Crazy day ahead & letting my hair down tonight at the open bar for my mums bday! X

Morning lovely.
I'm OK, trying to not focus on the pregnancy too much. We did tell the parents last night, just my father to be told now, as my HCG doubled between Wednesday n Friday so things are doing as they should. The sac is still very small, smaller than expected by midwife, so I've got to go hack on Wednesday for another check.

Kind of lingering between here n pregnancy forum as I'm still not 100% trusting everything to be OK, and want to stay in touch with you guys.

How many days late are you now AJ?

Apple... How are you doing hon?

Shhh hope you've spoilt and treated yourself girl!

Thanks for he support ladies. I think I just had a romantic idea in my head that it would just happen. And it hasn't in three months. I guess I should be grateful for three regular periods though. Nature I haven't been on much in the last few weeks - you're upduffed?!?! Congrats!!!

Thanks Shh. I'm only 4+4 so still early days!

It's amazing news. Any tips I have had three months of opks, vitamins and thinking about it. Do I take a month out from all that for April?

April was meant to be my month off (plus would mean no Xmas due date) but I took ill in March and ended up losing track of ovulation and temps etc, and didn't take the vits as regularly. Only DTD four times in the month... Genuinely think not focusing on it did the trick. That and a bit of luck. I just need to get the early stages done safely now which has made my nerves shoot through the roof.

Afternoon ladies! I'm recovering from a rather crazy family event last night! Lots of cuddles with my gorgeous 10 month old nephew which only makes me want my own more! Only had to field one nosy relative with her "when are you going to have one?" and then asked by someone I met for the first time, "do you have children?" Which is so much less pressurised than the other question as it was purely curiosity rather than implication.

Enjoyed a lunch with my in-laws and now chilling! All AF symptoms have disappeared, boobs not even slightly achey! Currently only 2 days late - but might hang on to the weekend to take a test - hate seeing the 'not pregnant' sign so only wanna POAS if I'm thinking that I really could be preggo.

How's everyone doing? Mother's Day can be really tough can't it?

How is everyone today?

AJ you hanging in there?

Hello! Can I join please?

Congratulations to those with BFP's, I hope the next few weeks go quickly for you.

We decided to try again this month for baby number 4. AF is due in 2 days and I'm too scared to test! We've being thinking about it for a while so haven't been preventing for the past few months and nothing, I fell super quick with the others so worried I've pushed my luck.

I've not been paying attention to symptoms (untrue but it's what I keep telling myself ) but I've had some real weird ones.. frantically looking at puppies for sale (weird I know but I've done only ever when I've been PG) wanting wine and spicy food which isn't me at all and the typical heavy boobs etc, also my downstairs is slightly swollen and really dark purple which usually only happens to me when PG.

Of course it's all probably in my head, it definitely doesn't get easier 2nd, 3rd or 4th time round!

Hi Allround... Welcome!

Wow, you're going to be busy!

Were you on any birth control before?

Xx

Thank you!
I was on the mini pill but only for around 5 months, My youngest is 15 months so my contraception before that was pregnancy. I was on the pill for the same amount of time before I fell last time so I was hoping it wouldn't have too much impact but we'll see

Its maybe just your system taking time to adjust, but I'm not that educated about the mini pill tbh

What will be will be, if I could chose I'd have a baby born next July (so a way off from falling now) but obviously nothing goes to schedule so starting to officially try from this month.
Fingers crossed!
How is everything going with your pregnancy so far @OnNaturesCourse ?

A little rocky. I've had a lot of period like pain, backache and pink discharge. I'm so early on its hard to say what's going to happen. Have to say though the support and medical care I've had is amazing. Got another scan on Wednesday when I'll be 5weeks and 1day. Not sure what to expect really xx

Hey all,

Tested this morning - BFN - which im actually ok about because I'm expecting it. It's been a crazy busy few weeks & a stressful month - so I wonder if that's more to do with why I'm late. I've decided to stop all the POAS and temp tracking for a month & we're just gonna BD as frequently as possible - and I'm trying to resolve to just enjoy the process & relax a bit more about it. Easier said than done!

How are you feeling Nature?

Welcome @AllRoundGoodEgg! X

Sorry AJ 😞

Im sore. Really sore and stuffed with the cold too. I just don't have a good feeling about it all.

@OnNaturesCourse try and stay positive - what can you do to pamper yourself? Have a nice bath? Have you got a good book to get stuck into to take your mind off things? X

Just been for a warm bath and sat watching once upon a time to try occupy my mind

I'll keep everything crossed for you @OnNaturesCourse, try and stay positive.
I took a Tesco own brand test this morning and it was BFN, AF is due tomorrow.
I've googled (obviously) and apparently they are rubbish tests? But we'll see anyway

Can you get a first response test?

Ok guys - help needed! I'm 8DPO and I have a really horrible taste in my mouth which started this AM not sure if I would say it's metallic but possibly. I also have randomly erect nipples but not really any pain in them (slight twinges in one but that is pierced so is a bit more sensitive) Very slight cramps in left of stomach (opposite to when I had OV pain) - any ideas for a sypmton spotting maniac?!

I could do @OnNaturesCourse, not sure whether to just wait it out or not!

@RoseGoldHippie sit on your hands and sleep for the next few days? that's the only advice I have for not obsessing (I admit it's not very helpful) Sounding positive though!

AllRoundGoodEgg thank you! I am just trying. It to think about it and with quite a busy work week I thought I would go through with no time to hahaha! How wrong I was :) yeah feeling positive just praying for that BFP!
