BFP Winter Wonderland, full of babydust and positive thoughts on the journey to our BFP.

[Carastarchild]

Thread two for TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!

Sorry you've got thrush @Carastarchild it can be a pregnancy sign though! Fingers crossed for you xxx

I'm ok thanks @LondonKez feeling better about things today. Had just a tiny tiny bit of spotting. Going to call the doctor on Friday to get an appointment to ask for hospital referral for booking in appointment xxx

Thanks @carastarchild. Fx for you too and hope the thrush sorts itself out x

I've got spotting but it normally means AF is approaching so I'm not holding my breath. I know I shouldn't expect too much from the first month but I'm very conscious that, at 38, time is not on my side.

Hi everyone, I’ve beeb lurking for days keeping up with everything but have just been too tired and busy to write. We’ve just made a quick and last minute decision to move 300 miles back to where my DH and I grew up (and where our parents still are) as we’re in need of more support these days. It’s been a whirlwind of my do accepting a new job, putting our flat on the market, etc.

Anyway...not sure if I’ve said this but congratulations @chikiTIKI! So pleased you got your bfp and I hope your ectopic pregnancy fears are allayed soon. If you had a traumatic birth before I can imagine pregnancy might create more anxiety for you, but I’m hoping you’ll get some support and good news.

@carastarchild... thrush! Gah! Though the only time me I’ve had thrush is after antibiotics and throughout pregnancy, so hopeful it’s a unpleasant symptom of good news!

@flossytots any news yet? Fx x

@whisky2014 hoping you’re having a wonderful honeymoon and loads of fun.

@38notcounting 👋🏻 Welcome! Fx your spotting is the right sort.

Sorry for such an essay! Life is calming down a bit now our flat is nearly on the market, so I hope to be a bit more present. Currently in the 2ww but have been so so preoccupied I’ve barely had time to think about it, which is a plus!

Hope everyone else is doing well/hanging in there x

We are having a great time thanks. Can't remember if i said cause I've been in a bit of a time difference slumber but af came yesterday. That's ok so now I get work package anytime I fall pregnant from now on AND can enjoy honeymoon bar to the max hehe.

Hope everyone else is ok :)

Hi all :-)

I am now cd15, actually not sure whether I've ovulated yet (no ov pains and no ewcm like last month) but may have just missed it, or happening late. I'm not doing any opks or tests as I know that'd stress me out and it's only cycle 2!

Weird question but when ppl say their boobs ache with ov or pre-AF, do you mean boobs or just nipples? My boobs don't change/hurt/anything at all but my nipples are frigging killing!! I've read that can mean ovulation so just gonna go with it!

Anyway, this may put me in the two week wait. I'm not a very patient person so trying to do productive stuff: cut down on sugar and stress, eat pineapple (apparently just the core though) and stay out of the steam room!! Also wedding planning 😁

@londonkez - that sounds a bit frustrating. In one way what they've said is reassuring but I'd probably push them a bit! SA a great idea!

@cara ouch! Hope the thrush sorts itself out soon xx

Evening all :)

So did a test this morning BFN but I think it's probably too early so not losing hope yet! 12dpo. This is my first cycle after finishing my pill so I have absolutely no clue how long my cycle is etc. Think I worked out ovulation by cm roughly but I suppose time will tell!
Feel super bloated, gassy and nauseous. Initially thought its in my head but it's very uncomfortable so can't be 😂 xx

Thank you @LauraPalmersBodybag :)

We have such a lovely group here. Hope you're all having a good day xxxx

@LondonKez that makes sense. So I checked and my luteal ranges from 12 to 14 days and the app has calculated it at 12 so says I'm due on tomorrow.
Not convinced yet but my boobs are incredibly sore still. Had it for 5 days now and normally if I get it it's for 3 days max. I got a BFN today. Don't want to make up symptoms or jinx anything but I really want to be hopeful!

@Kidsandcats1 I'm 12DPO too!! Have you done a test yet? (sorry if you said I can't go back and check who's said what when I'm typing a message on the app)
The two week wait feels like the longest!!
How long were you on the pill for?

@PineappleC I normally get sore boobs like they feel bruised when I'm due on. Not every month though and then when I take my bra off it's worse like gravity is pulling them down! Haha. But I've heard people say the same about nipples but I don't think mine are very "feely" if that makes sense!

@mrslbear yes I did a test this morning. Was negative. But I don't think it was an early one, stupidly discovered that after 🙊 I've ordered some first response so will test again sat.
I feel pregnant. Completely different to usual. Bloated, gassy, back ache, usually gets spots around now but nothing. But this all could be down to contraceptive withdrawal. Absolutely no clue. Been back on it since little one was born, July 16. Xxx

Thanks @laurapalmersbodybag. Good luck with the move. Sounds like a lot to organise but at least it should take your mind off the tww x

My spotting is getting heavier and nothing on a frer so I think I'm out - roll on December. Feels good to be part of this group as we've not told anyone about ttc - can't face my mum going on about older mums - so it's nice to be able to talk about it here xx

@38andcounting it is isn’t it? I have told close friends, but there’s something so nice about being able to talk with people in the same boat. I’m really hoping December is your month.

I’m pleased to be so busy - it is giving me less time to obsess and last month I drove myself crazy. We didn’t really get a chance to dtd this month, just once the day I got a + opk, so there’s a chance I guess. I do have really sore boobs, but I’m not googling and trying not to symptom spot. Also no early testing for me this month! Am determined to stay sane.

Incidentally, a lot of my friends were in their late 30s when they had their first, and the notion that your fertility falls off a cliff after 35 had been debunked by a great book called Expecting Better by Emily Oster. She says not to worry too much till 40+

Have a good night x

@MrsLBear yeah that makes sense...sounds painful! I get the same bruise-y feeling but just in nipples, how weird! I guess it's nice to know my body is doing something though 😊

@38andcounting we've also told no-one because I don't want to keep having the "any news" conversation, so I'm loving this group for same reason! My DP doesn't seem to understand that the process is a little stressful...he seems to think it'll just happen as soon as we DTD. He seemed genuinely surprised that last month, cycle 1, didn't result in a BFP 😂 Oh dear!!

@Kidsandcats1 do you feel similar to how you felt with your first?
I've been doing cheapies as well so weren't FRER or anything. I've only got 1 left atm and I don't want to waste it cos I just hate paying for them cos they are so expensive! Especially when I think it's gonna be a negative.
Fingers crossed for Saturday for you!!!
I roughly know the day I ovulated too so by Monday my period should be here if it's coming cos that's the latest day unless my cycle is completely messed up this month which could happen cos I don't seem to have much luck 😂

@PineappleC yeah it's so painful. My husband tried to you know last night and I just couldn't face the movement with my boobs! I know but then when pms and pg symptoms cross over it throws your mind into overdrive. I think I've spent like 5 hours a day just googling different things. And everything I read tells me different. Trying so hard not to over analyse symptoms.

Hey!
So this happened this morning 😊
12dpo. Quite a strong line so hoping it doesn't disappear on me! Xx

Oh wow @Kidsandcats1! That is a really strong line, congratulations! 💐💐

@MrsLBear fingers crossed this is it for you! How arevyou feeling today?

@38andcounting we're the same, we haven't told anyone, so being able to talk freely here is such a relief!

Good luck with the move @LauraPalmersBodybag. Hope all goes well!

@PineappleC distractions are always helpful! When are you getting married? We got engaged in May, but aiming for a 2020 wedding

@carastarchild how are you feeling?

Happy Friday ladies x

Wahoo. Congratulations @kidsandcats1! What a great start to the weekend. How many days dpo are you?

A week late and AF decided to arrive with a bang this afternoon and caught me off guard while I was out!

Oh well
New stats...
TTC#1 cycle 11 BFP due 25th Dec 🎅

@laurapalmersbodybag I'm 12 dpo - well at least I think I am!! X

Congratulations @kidsandcats1. Looks like a good line to me

Thanks for the recommendation @laurapalmersbodybag - have downloaded it to my kindle. Think I spend far too much time on the daily mail's website of doom for my own good 😳 so it'll be good to read something more balanced! Well done for staying strong. Hopefully with Xmas it'll be easier to forget about the tww in December X

@pineapplec my dh thinks I'm obsessed with ttc already, although he may have a point when I told him to get out of the bath so as not to boil his swimmers!

We're off out for a nice meal tonight - at least I'll be able to have something sparkly!

Have a good one all xx

Awww congrats @Kidsandcats1!!! Amazing news!
