Oops the other one got full before new one made. Kept the same name to make it easier to find.

Driving myself crazy symptom spotting atm. Had a negative test last week after my MC but had a positive the following morning so thought maybe it was a diluted sample. This week I've been having pains similar to ovulation pains, cramping, mild nausea and general aches so hoping that either I'm ovulating, AF is finally on her way or possibly new pregnancy though I think that might be too soon due to the still positive tests. I seem to be driving myself into a bit of anxiety too so that's obviously not helping. If I'm still testing positive next week EPU will investigate so I'll know then either way. Sorry for the rant just had to get it out.

Hoping for lots of lovely BFPs this month ladies. xxx

Hi all- I’m heading towards fertile week to so fingers crossed for us all🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Cakelaur · 05/03/2018 13:04

Yes @Boboelephant love the early symptom spotting!! Haha. I have litterally no symptoms except a feel a bit sniffly and weird twinges in my pelvic region. But definitely all make believe. My temps are all over the place which is annoying. But we'll see!

@Kingy2910 I do bbt. So I get a temp shift which confirms ovulation. I think most people do from 24 hours after positive opk. And some can feel it. Or get certain signs. Before my mc I would get mega sore boobs the day after ov. Now nothing.

@DaisyMay25 so exciting. I'll be lucky if I don't test tomorrow!!! Haha!!! I should wait until Saturday but af is due sat/Sunday if my lp is normal (last month I only had a 10 lp not my usual 12)

Think I may take tomorrow off work to keep myself busy!! Haha. Work is really quiet and I find myself constantly distracted! 🙈

Cakelaur · 05/03/2018 13:09

🤞 all of those heading towards FW! I'm glad mine is over.. haha. So knackered!!!

@keepinghopeful it only takes that one little sperm to reach the egg. 😁

@HidCat could be new pregnancy. See if the lines get darker. 🤞 for catching straight alway!

DaisyMay25 · 05/03/2018 14:15

@Cakelaur I told myself I wouldn't symptom spot but since this brown spotting has started I feel horrendous, feel sick, exhausted (I just had an hour nap before work) and I've got small cramps. Gonna test in the morning probably even though I know it'll be bfn haha

Primrose16 · 05/03/2018 15:27

I’m in TWW too. Don’t know I’m on CD 24, not sure about dpo with not tracking.

@Kingy2910 I was using opks this month. So Friday afternoon I had a pretty dark line, positive by Friday night, positive Sat morning and then very faint by Sat arvo. Gone by Sat night. Also I had a minute of bad cramps on Sat afternoon. I had back pain for a few days which was worst on Sat and I was also keeping track of my cervix and cm. I had EWCM on Thursday and Friday morning and then it turned sticky on Sat. I read that ov happens when the ewcm stops. I also felt the change in my cervix.
Fingers crossed @DaisyMay25! So exciting!!
Get busy @Claire138 and @Lovemysparkle! 😜
Glad to hear it @keepinghopeful! Fingers crossed! It only takes one!
@HidCat hope you get some answers soon. The waiting and not knowing is the worst!
@Cakelaur and @Primrose16 fingers crossed for us! I'm knackered too!!

Hi all. I’m back after about a two month break from mumsnet. I still recognise some names and see lots of new ones. Feels like I’ve been on here forever. It’s been a year of ttc since my second mmc. I’m just about to go into the tww and thought I needed some company. Will read back and try and catch up a little.

Boboelephant · 05/03/2018 17:53

Welcome back @NoCatsHere although I hope you're not here long. How was your break?

dulwichdays · 05/03/2018 17:54

I’m just about to enter my FW later this week. And then we’re off to Lanzarote next weekend which hopefully with take my mind off the TWW!

Good luck to all those in the TWW and those that haven’t had AF post MC hopefully you’ve benefited from the fertility Cape!

NoCatsHere · 05/03/2018 18:25

Hi bobo it was good thanks, I posted around new year and then was just so disappointed when I didn’t fall pregnant that month, I had in my head I would because it was marking exactly a year since I got pregnant the first time. Then I felt I needed to come off here and just try and relax a bit. Anyway I had my peak on sat but couldn’t dtd that eve but we managed yesterday so am hopeful as always...
daffodil I feel for you, this place is good to rant, and I too have been on here ages with no sign of getting pregnant again. I feel dipping in and out better for my sanity so I don’t obsess too much.

Kingy2910 · 05/03/2018 18:30

I had some rather uncomfortable movements going on last night never had them before so hoping that's me laying my egg lol.......guess I could just about be in the tww too.......

DaisyMay25 · 05/03/2018 18:33

@Kingy2910 laying an egg haha! Fx for you though

Kingy2910 · 05/03/2018 19:08

Haha thought that would make you laugh.....I've just said to hubby.....egg laid mix it with baby batter....my ovens on so let's getting cooking the bun 😂😂😂😂

Martydog · 05/03/2018 19:28

I'm on my way to ovulation window hoping it will last until Saturday as my husband has been away for a month and he comes home on Saturday. Fingers crossed I don't ovulate until Sunday and we can dtd lots to put us in with a chance, either that or hopefully it will be next month which would be around a Christmas due date. I was in hospital pregnant with my son over new year in 2007 so maybe that's good luck.

Boboelephant · 05/03/2018 19:33

Good timing @dulwichdays. Enjoy the sunshine!
Haha @Kingy2910!! Get off MN and get cooking! 🤣🤣
Fingers crossed @Martydog 🤞

Daffodil77 · 05/03/2018 19:56

@nocatshere nice to see you back (but hopefully not for much longer iykwim)

I've been good and held off opks as agreed with dh. No ewcm yet and his exam is weds morning so fingers crossed we've still got a chance this month.

On the discussion of pineapple, it does the same thing as baby aspirin. I take that daily, amongst a million other pills. I had pineapple the cycle I conceived but quite possibly just coincidence.

keepinghopeful · 05/03/2018 20:17

Fingers crossed @Daffodil77 @Martydog & @NoCatsHere & to everyone else entering fw & tww!! Some of us BOUND to drop off here soon as been here too long (as nice as we all are 😂 we would rather meet on a 'nicer' thread)

Hortonlovesahoo · 05/03/2018 20:21

Hey girls, I've got my scan tomorrow with the hospital to check everything is OK post D&C. I'm with a doctor I dont really like (my preferred doctor is sick). I hope that everyone is doing OK on this thread. I apologise for not keeping more in touch but I've been having a bit of a tough time with it at the moment.

PumpkinPatch000 · 05/03/2018 21:36

Hello everyone, how are you all feeling this evening?

Cakelaur · 05/03/2018 21:40

@Hortonlovesahoo it gets better babe I promise. Hope you're ok.
@PumpkinPatch000 how are you doing? I'm all good here. Only 5 sleeps til I get to meet our puppy. (We can't take him home until mid April) but it's taking my mind of babies for now. Midway through the TWW. How you getting on?

PumpkinPatch000 · 05/03/2018 21:48

@Cakelaur awwww how lovely! What breed is your puppy? I absolutely love dogs! I'm doing ok thanks. Feeling far more positive and also in the TWW which is actually rolled over 2 weeks now ugh

Boboelephant · 05/03/2018 21:59

Good work @ Daffodil77. Hope you get some bd in after his exam.
Hear hear @keepinghopeful. I'd so love to chat to you all on a pregnancy thread!
@Hortonlovesahoo hope the scan goes well and you get the all clear. Sorry you're having a tough time. Hope things look up for you soon.
Hey @PumpkinPatch000. Where are you in 2ww?
@cakelaur good news about your puppy!

Good to hear so many people are in the 2ww. Hope we get lots of bfps this month!
