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

Thankyou @Eastend2015! I really was hopeful for a nice line today! Slap in the face when the more you squint the whiter it gets! 😦
I'm sorry to hear you are having a tough time. It's so tough when DC doesn't sleep isn't it!! Also DH with man flu! 😣
I'm sure it's so tough but I think it'll be a good idea in the end to get the tests done. Can you have a bit of protected DTD so you can still have some intimacy but without worrying about TTC?

Eastend2015 · 15/03/2018 17:29

Fingers x’d you are still in with a chance!!

Yes absolutely but tbh neither of us has felt like sexy time!! Both too knackered, grouchy and busy bitching at each other!

Boboelephant · 15/03/2018 17:45

Haha @Eastend2015 I hear you!!

Primrose16 · 15/03/2018 21:33

Sorry about the BFN @boboelephant

I’m getting all stressed and nattered. I know you lot would understand. I wish I could be like the ladies that have never suffered a loss and be chilled out. Test was a clear dark line today. But I felt fine today- I felt good actually, yesterday I felt so so sick all day. Went to the loo a few hours ago and a tiny bit of pink! Ffs! Now I’m all upset and wound up 😢

Oh @Primrose16 are you Ok? Have you called the EPU? I think you are defo on the right thread here. I'm keeping everything crossed for you it's just a one off. ❤

Primrose16 · 15/03/2018 22:00

Thank you @Funkyemzie too early for the EPU, think a lot of crossing fingers or the only thing that I can do at mo. Just so frustrating. Haven’t had anymore pink but still not feeling positive. I would just love to be excited about a pregnancy x

@primrose16 I know it’s hard to stay positive after all the shit we have been through but it’s good you haven’t had anymore and they do say it’s very common to get a bit of spotting when the egg is getting nice and cosy in your uterus.

Boboelephant · 15/03/2018 22:38

Thankyou @Primrose16. I'm sorry this is so stressful for you. I do hear some spotting is normal and unless it's bright red and heavy you don't need to worry. I hope it all settles down for you soon.

hayleyfx · 15/03/2018 23:10

@Primrose16 I’m sorry you feel so worried, I totally understand. I would feel the exact same way. Try to stay positive though, spotting is normal especially pink or brown. I have my fingers crossed for you 💕

Cakelaur · 16/03/2018 00:17

Sorry ladies...madness has struck at work and I'm on 18hr days til next week. How is everyone.
Congrats on the bfp @NoCatsHere
@Primrose16 spotting can be normal. Especially if it's around AF time as well. Easier said than done... but try not to worry yourself silly, cos that little bean needs a nice relaxed mama. I have every thing crossed for you.

Sorry to those who got shitty BFN come join me on the Xmas baby train!! We're giving it all we've got this month. We're going full pelt even if it kills us!! Haha xx

Boboelephant · 16/03/2018 08:32

@Cakelaur ugh 18 hour days!! You must be shattered. Hope you get some rest before your sexathon starts! 😉🤣

Primrose16 · 16/03/2018 09:04

Wow @cakelaur 18 hour days. Your putting my working week into one day! How do you do it.

keepinghopeful · 16/03/2018 09:04

@Primrose16 how are you today?

Primrose16 · 16/03/2018 09:05

Thanks ladies. No more spotting, going to try and chill out. X

OP posts:
Primrose16 · 16/03/2018 09:08

@keepinghopeful no spotting since that little bit last night. Feeling well, I want to feel sick (what’s wrong with me). I’m off work today with my little lady so going to see my sister. Might talk to her today, if something did happen I would need her support (again), she really looked after me with all my 3 losses. So it makes sense to tell her. X

keepinghopeful · 16/03/2018 09:10

@Primrose16 i know i want to feel sick as well, i had been but think im not as bad yesterday or today. Too terrified to take another test in case line has got lighter! Hopefully sickness will hit us with a whoosh soon 🤞

Boboelephant · 16/03/2018 09:24

@Primrose16 and @keepinghopeful I have everything crossed for you. 🤞🤞 I think its a good idea to talk to your sister @Primrose. We need all the support we can get! Although hopefully it'll just be happy support this time for you.
I'm still trying to be stupidly optimistic over here and hoping I can join you this month! Having cramps today so probably not but you can hope!

weasledee · 16/03/2018 09:34

Bobo was thinking of you, have u done a test? I've had really bad cramps all night by no AF which is worse as I wish it would just start so I can move on Confused

Primrose16 · 16/03/2018 09:35

I hope so @boboelephant xxxx

OP posts:
NoCatsHere · 16/03/2018 09:38

primrose sorry you have all this worry. so glad the spotting has stopped.

I am still in shock to be honest, but already every single twinge is putting me on edge. I haven't even told my OH yet...i can't quite bring myself to say it outloud in case it all goes wrong. I need to settle it in my brain first and then will tell him over the weekend.

bobo i have everything crossed for you still.

keepinghopeful · 16/03/2018 09:47

@NoCatsHere i know, we have such a desire to get pregnant but that is when pure anxiety starts, im wakened most of night these nights with knot in stomach of something going wrong. 3 m/c's in a row so why should this one be any different ☹️

Boboelephant · 16/03/2018 09:52

Hey @weasledee. No I haven't done another test since yesterday morning. I was expecting AF today or tomorrow so might do one Sunday if she hasn't arrived. Have you tested again? Hopefully you're not out yet!
Thanks @NoCatsHere!! I have everything crossed for you too that everything goes well.
It's crazy isn't it. We spend every secoknd wanting to happen but then are so scared when it does. I miss the blissfully ignorant days of my pregnancy with DS.
I'm so glad for this thread though. I've been obsessively googling lately (I know, I know!!) and keep coming across another thread where if anyone asks a question they all jump down their throat and tell them off. So mean!! Glad everyone here on MN is so nice!

Boboelephant · 16/03/2018 09:56

Oh @keepinghopeful I so hope this ending is different for you! x

PassTheAfterEights · 16/03/2018 11:11

Waves @ thread - been quiet but reading along, didn't want to drive everyone as nuts as I am this 2ww. Testing tomorrow at 11dpo. Promising symptoms and overly elevated hopes if I'm honest.

Very happy for the recent BFP's, so lovely to see - fantastic @nocatshere! Thinking of everyone yet to test or hoping for a Christmas baby, everything crossed @bobotheelephant @weasledee x x
