Hi guys, so AFs due either today or tomorrow and I've had a very light pink spotting- which I may add, I NEVER get before AF! Just wondering if I'm out or not for this month? Advice would be great 👍🏻 xx

CookieWaffle · 07/08/2018 13:51

Thanks @ChaosMoon that gives me hope xx

@Delilah7 I tried a cheap Asda one on Sunday that was - but I didn't expect anything. Today I picked up the FRERs I had on order. I realised I only had normal ones, not early ones. Tomorrow morning is going to be hard to resist!

CookieWaffle · 07/08/2018 13:53

Hard to say @BabySquid, might be might not, its an evil waiting game unfortunately. I would maybe test tomorrow if it stops xx

ValidUser · 07/08/2018 14:23

@ChaosMoon I'm either dedicated or I've just snapped. Hmm

BambiOnIce80 · 07/08/2018 14:47

@ChaosMoon, I like the idea of a fake pimms🍹 Do pubs still sell schloer? Might be a good fake wine to throw your aunts off the scent 😉

@CookieWaffle, I was wondering if you'd caved yet! 😂 I'm very impressed that you got through the weekend without giving in 🙂

After having had a little cry when AF turned up (I was so hopeful this time with using the preseed 😔), I'm now actually enjoying this relaxing bit between AF and fertile window kicking in this weekend/early next week 😄 However, I've gone and done another one of things I said I wouldn't this time round 🙄 Spent my lunch hour googling conception support vitamins and ordered a 2 month supply for me and DP... Hopefully DP won't think I've gone 🦇 💩 crazy buying him drugs to take without asking him first! 😬 He's still got that glint in his eye because he knows his luck is in all weekend, so that should work in my favour when I drop the vitamins on him...

Delilah7 · 07/08/2018 15:26

@CookieWaffle ahhhh, I'd find it so hard to resist!!! You'll do what's best for you Hun. Either way if you're pregnant or not you'll find out babs!

@BambiOnIce80 😂😂😂just put it on him and give him a vitamin just before Hahahaha.

Ahh @BambiOnIce80 I'm sorry to hear that, big hugs from me xx As for the testing I actually had a cunning plan, ordered some FRERs on Friday and got them delivered to the Amazon lockers in town so I couldn't get to them til today! And I was too lazy to go all the way into town at the weekend, so that worked!

I'm hoping the preseed worked here...

ChaosMoon · 07/08/2018 17:38

@CookieWaffle you're a genius. 😊

Sorry to hear about AF @BambiOnIce80 but we'll done for turning your mood around. Also, thank you. I'm going to show DH this thread as proof that I didn't make up the expressing bat shit crazy! 😂

RanchoRelaxo · 07/08/2018 18:41

Ah sorry about AF Bambi here's to a successful September!

BambiOnIce80 · 07/08/2018 19:32

Here's to a successful September indeed @RanchoRelaxo 🤞

@CookieWaffle, also sending you positive vibes now you have your FRER's... I'm hoping for good news from you in the morning! 🍀

@ChaosMoon, has he not heard that one elsewhere?! 😄 Also, how're your blood tests going?x

@Delilah7, DP went pale when I said I'd ordered something that I really should have got his consent about. I'd told him that one of us on our thread was using a syringe this month rather than having sex and he immediately thought I'd been ordering syringes and his luck was no longer in this weekend 😂🤣 He's relieved it's just conception support vitamins and is happy to take them 😌

Delilah7 · 07/08/2018 19:49

@BambiOnIce80 😂😂😂 bet he proper pooped his pants! Glad he's on board it's lovely when they're like that. I'm super excited again now to start trying. Feel abit guilty being excited again...

OP posts:
BambiOnIce80 · 07/08/2018 20:05

Absolutely no reason to feel guilty @Delilah7. You're looking forwards with positivity rather than backwards with fear and there's nothing at all wrong with that.x

Delilah7 · 07/08/2018 20:10

@BambiOnIce80 defo hard to not feel guilty though x

LumosNox · 07/08/2018 20:39

@CookieWaffle good luck for testing in a few days, I've got everything crossed for you!

@Delilah7 and @ChaosMoon thanks for the answers about preseed - I'll have to have a look into that! There's so much to think about, isn't there?

Delilah7 · 07/08/2018 20:51

@LumosNox there is but all I'd say which is what I'm planning to do again. Is try not to use so much to start with. I fell pregnant my 4th month by just using the Flo App and with nothing other than that. It's nice to try and do it without everything involved at first!

OP posts:
LumosNox · 07/08/2018 20:57

Thanks Delilah7 you're definitely right. I think I just like feeling prepared, but part of that is keeping ourselves relaxed!

ValidUser · 07/08/2018 21:15

I can confirm that our syringe method is highly unromantic.

Delilah7 · 07/08/2018 21:30

@LumosNox honestly I'm very prepared and organised for everything 😂 but with this especially after the miscarriage I now just want to take it Day by day and see if I can do it without anything to help... like the old days!

OP posts:
LumosNox · 07/08/2018 21:36

Oh dear @ValidUser! I guess I won't be suggesting to DH that we have a cosy night in with a syringe this month. 😂

@Delilah7 that sounds like a very good idea - thank you for encouraging me to just relax a bit. I'm so glad you're feeling more positive and you're excited to try again. You can do this! 😘

ChaosMoon · 07/08/2018 21:53

Apparently not @BambiOnIce80, but he can't deny its real anymore! The next blood test's tomorrow, and then I get my results on Thursday.

Never feel guilty for being strong @Delilah7. You can love the baby you lost and be excited about the one you're going to have. There's nothing stopping both feelings from being real.

@ValidUser you have me in stitches. I really hope this works for you!

ValidUser · 07/08/2018 23:51

Another syringe of his best guys gone in! We're going to repeat daily until Thursday. You can't say we're not trying!

Delilah7 · 08/08/2018 06:25

@LumosNox it's very tense time so we need to get you to try relax but trust me that's easier said than done 😂 I didn't think I would be but I am!

@ChaosMoonthank you. That made me feel better

@ValidUser keep going Hun you're defo trying!

Morning all,

Can't believe how quickly this thread moves sometimes lol.

@Delilah7 I'm so pleased to see that you're feeling more positive, it's been lovely to read! Hopefully your half days at work will help you recover.

Been a tough few days for me, my Nan has been in hospital for a few weeks and had to have a "high risk" operation. They couldn't finish the operation on Monday but they said what they've done so far has gone well but they're going to need her to stay asleep for the next 72 hours for swelling to go down before they can operate again to finish the procedure off. So yeah, that's a little scary.

I told a friend about my previous pregnancy yesterday, as she announced her pregnancy fairly recently. Turns out that we would have been due one day apart! It felt good to tell someone and talk about it though and she said lots of positive things about me hopefully falling pregnant again soon... So here's hoping to all of us ladies that our BFPs aren't far away 🍻

Delilah7 · 08/08/2018 07:33

@Virgo89 I certainly know how you feel regarding grandparents. My grandads terminal I'll with bowl and lung cancer and any day he could unfortunately go 😔 hopes and praises to your Nan. Hospital knows what's best so just bare with and have faith 😘 I'm feeling much more positive now. It's good to talk to people. I've spoken to two of my friends 1 who's has 3 miscarriages and has a beautiful boy and another on the way. And one who had one at 12 weeks and has a beautiful boy and another baby on the way! it's nice when you have others to relate to but see what they have after they've been through it xx
