@Lougg I am at 10dpo and my AF/hopeful BFP this coming Sunday. It's just during this 2ww, it feels long... it feels we're pregnant but not. I attended a work meeting yesterday and an ex-colleague was there and found out she is due by end of October and a colleague's wife gave birth today. It's like... I want to have babies, too.... xx Sigh. 🙄

@Lov3Rosie it's so tough when you suddenly feel surrounded by pregnancy and babies. You're so happy for them but it's just a reminder that it's not been your turn yet. Only a few more days to hold out, but I totally get that the not knowing is just the pits. You spend two weeks basically acting like you're pregnant and then bloody AF rears her ugly head. Got my fingers and toes crossed for your BFP!!

@Lov3Rosie it's shit isn't it. After a few months of trying but not trying my best friend told me she was going to start trying for her second. One month later after she had sex once in the month she was pregnant, I was so happy for her but also so annoyed it took once in the first month 🙈

@crossfitgirl I also considered the conception lube but for the time being I am convincing myself it would be a waste of money. But every time I read the reviews on Amazon I almost persuade myself into buying it.

Lov3Rosie · 29/08/2018 19:52

Big hugs ladies... thank you xxx @Delilah7 @Lougg @sunshine1987

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 19:59

@Lov3Rosie sending hugs. Feeling rubbish too. Just had a bit of spotting... working away at the moment, just want a cuddle from DH. Not sure if the spotting is a good or bad thing?? I think it means I'm out 😕

Bettyhop · 29/08/2018 20:05

How amazing when we all eventually have an antenatal thread😍

Bettyhop · 29/08/2018 20:06

Positivity pants on everyone...feeling like we need to share the love❤ x

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 20:15

@Bettyhop I agree.

Keep this going as long as possible with everyone in it who's in it now and more. Can share our journeys before during and after.

Cmon girls. Let's stay positive. A bad day isn't a bad life ❤️ love to you all xxxx

Just catching up you lovely gang. Dibs on being in the antenatal thread!

I am lying in bed already. Absolutely shattered today.

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 20:50

@CrystalBlaze I'm with you darling. In bed watching GPS behind closed doors. Just watched a vasectomy! made me smile after everything us women go through!!!

CrystalBlaze · 29/08/2018 20:55

Hahahaha @Delilah7! You are living the dream. Bet the man took it well Wink

mrsof20118 · 29/08/2018 20:56

@Lov3Rosie hope you get some positive news soon

Where abouts is everyone based?

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 20:56

@CrystalBlaze he teared up by the looks of it, was comical 😂

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 20:56

Suffolk 😌

MrsC87 · 29/08/2018 20:59

I've just watched that too @Delilah7
Wasn't pleasant lol! 🤣

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 21:03

@MrsC87 did have a little giggle to myself but did look painful! 😂

AlwaysInJods · 29/08/2018 21:04

Feeling the positivity 👏🏼

I've had some very light pink spotting this eve. Literally a few dots on TP, only on 1 wipe. According to OPKs between 10-12dpo with AF due on Friday... could this be implantation bleeding or is it too late?

MrsC87 · 29/08/2018 21:05

I was with you on the giggling 😂 so bad but it made my night 🙈 @Delilah7
I'm from Worcestershire 😊

LondonKez · 29/08/2018 21:05

Hello all!

Can I join?! I've not been hugely active on here yet, but we haven't told anyone we're trying so would be great to have other people to talk to going through the same thing.

I'm 32, engaged and came off the pill at the end of November. We're on cycle 9/10, although only actively tracking cycles and timing for the last 4/5 months.

Good luck all x

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 21:09

Me too on the ante natal thread!

I'm based on Wales @mrsof20118

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 21:12

@AlwaysInJods could be Hun!

@LondonKez welcome lovely xxx

@MrsC87 couldn't help but giggle xxx

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 21:13

@AlwaysInJods I have the same, can't work out if it's IB or AF gearing up to show her ugly face, though she's not due for a few more days. I'm 10DPO too x

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 21:14

Welcome @LondonKez xx
@mrsof20118 I'm down South x
