Anyone around 9 dpo?

[lavenderlove]

Hi wondering if anyone is around 9dpo and wants to join me for the agonising wait? I'm trying to hold off from testing until at least 12dpo but it's so hard! I've never obsessed over something so much and I'm only on my 2nd cycle

@Thethreeandme af is really annoying! I think it's normal for it to take up to a year so I wouldn't worry yourself yet. Even though I know exactly how you feel because I'm starting to feel like it's never going to happen! I'm on cycle 5 now. I'm about 7dpo and I've been getting af type cramps today so I'm really hoping it could be a good sign

@lavenderlove I bloody hope so for you! It's getting so boring writing "So af has arrived" lol. I'd love to tell you all I have a bfp as much as I'd love you read you have one! My cycles are all over the shop. Last 2 have been 34 days this one was 28 🙄 just to make things even bloody harder to track! Xx

Thanks @Thethreeandme I hope you get yours this cycle too! I know, it's so frustrating and I hate all the waiting around! I've decided to test on Friday morning (af due on Tuesday) don't know if that's too early but I'm going out so need to know if I can have a drink haha!
So annoying when your cycle messes you around like that!! Mine was 3 days early last month. Hopefully we will go back to our normal cycles now!
Also I think I'm getting a water infection and feeling quite ill with it arghh X

Sorry to butt in. I was trying for my first for 9 months. Gave up hope and then fell at 11 months so don't give up hope. I'm on cycle 11 for number two and not worrying just yet. Also my first month using ovulation sticks. Good luck to all xx

@lavenderlove water infexti9ns are the worst!! Fx for Friday, you're not hurting anyone testing early so go for it.

@BLS1983 thank you, that's reassuring. I think it's so easy to get caught up in it happening in the first few months! Good luck with yours fx for you too. Great that you're not stressing about it though xx

@Thethreeandme it gonna lie it's permanently on my mind :-/. Just trying to keep busy ;-) xx

@BLS1983 it's the best way. luckily I'm working full time at the moment or I'd go insane! My sister is going for her 12 week scan tomorrow so trying to focus on her pregnancy instead xx

@thethreeandme @lavenderlove

I'm occasionally checking in here to see how everyone's doing. Lavender fingers crossed Friday.
Where are you in your cycle @thethreeandme? xxx

Literally af finished yesterday so at the very start lol.. been a while since we've seen you @dreaminofholidays how are you getting on xx

@BLS1983 that's good to hear! Good luck this cycle x
@Thethreeandme thanks! And I know, it doesn't seem to be getting any worse so hopefully it will go away on it's own. I've been getting quite bad period pains today so just hoping af doesn't make an early appearance again.
Thanks @dreaminofholidays will let you know how it goes. So scared of getting a BFN again though! how is your pregnancy going?x

@thethreeandme good luck this cycle!
@lavenderlove will be thinking of you Friday.

I'm 9+2 today. I've never been so tired in my life. I have had two early scans because I've been so anxious. Last was Monday and we saw the baby move. Just hoping all is ok and this carries on xxx

@dreaminofholidays wishing you lots of luck sailing into 2nd trimester! Just get spoilt loads and rest xx

Wanting some advice without looking like an crazy!! Firstly good luck to everyone trying. I am due AF on Saturday/Sunday this week. For the past 3 weeks I’ve had a dull ache in my lower abdomen, lower back ache and today I have noticed white lumps on areoles. Feeling tired. I don’t normally get any aches until the day before AF and 3 weeks is a long time to be having these, more toilet breaks too. Could this all just be AF arriving and different symptoms because I am now off the pill?

Thanks @lavenderlove you too 😘.

@Thethreeandme I'm a full time working mummy too. I hadn't really thought about it but suppose it does provide some distraction.

First month on opks and I'm so much more relaxed already. App says I should ovulate in two days but opk says different. Oh man why didn't I opk initially lol

@dreaminofholidays glad everything is going well and I hope you're getting chance to get lots of rest x

@Hillster123 how are you feeling now? Has af stayed away? Your symptoms sound promising!x

I got a BFN yesterday  would've been maybe 10 or 11dpo. I have no tests in now so I'm just going to see if af arrives in the next couple of days. I've had to ring in sick today as I feel awful! Keep being sick and feel absolutely drained. Was hoping it was a symptom of pregnancy but pretty sure it would be showing on a FRER if it was because of that

@lavenderlove I'm sorry for the BFN it could be just too early to see, I think I remember you saying you weren't tracking this month so could be earlier than you think.

Good plan to take a couple of days and then test again. Keeping everything crossed for you xxx

Thanks @dreaminofholidays I hope it was too early. I do feel different this month but not sure if that's just because I'm ill. My boobs are hurting more than they ever have 😩

Hi all, hope all is well. Just popping in to see where everyone is up to and how you're getting on. I will reply more fully asap.

@lavender your symptoms sound promising so I have everything crossed (and I had a negative on frer at around 10 dpo). Also, re the sore boobs, I get this every month before af but literally couldn't even have the duvet touching them before my bfp. Good luck on your next test xx

Hi @blitzen how are you doing? Have you had any more scans since we last spoke it is your next one at 12weeks?
Thanks! I am exactly the same so I'm really hoping af doesn't arrive. I had a 25 day cycle last month and I'm on day 27 now and no sign of af so we shall see! If she hasn't arrived tomorrow I will get another test x

Af arrived this morning 😢 feel like it's never going to happen! X

Oh @lavender 😓 sorry to hear about af arriving. I know you are very disappointed but keep at it. Have you tried smep? 💐

I am fine, thanks. Nausea still a pain but otherwise okay. I am now 11 weeks so expecting to hear about nhs scan soon. First appointment with midwife went well had blood taken etc. All looking fine. Just hoping everything looks okay at scan.

@lavenderlove sorry AF has shown. Remember the average stats for conception, it takes a long time. I know it feels even longer when ttc.

Hope you can enjoy a glass of wine and maybe a meal out with your other half this evening. Treat yourself to these lovely things cos when you do get your BFP wine is off the agenda xxx

@lavenderlove so sorry 😔 did you say this was cycle 5? I'm due to ovulate this weekend but we've booked a hiking day out so won't be dtd much, I'll be glad to be honest at least I won t be waiting for bro so sick if it now xx

Bfp

Oh I'm sorry @lavenderlove. This whole process is so hard
