@Charl28 sorry forgot to tag u!

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 14:16

If u have any questions give them a shot! I'm sure one of us has some thoughts x

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 14:19

@Mfbroome haha I hope so but o don’t want to get my hopes up. I just don’t understand why I’m feeling so periody, it’s prob a reaction to the increased progesterone or something and similar to what you had! I guess no two cycles are quite the same! I’m trying to think back to how I felt when I was pregnant with ds but I can only remember having symptoms on the day of missed AF. I didn’t track it or do opks then so I don’t think I was really paying attention or aware of the TWW 🤣 sometimes I think ignorance is bliss as ttc is hard when you’re aware of it all isn’t it!?
Oh yes I wouldn’t test just yet if you can help it, maybe try hold off for acouple days but I know it’s easier said than done when the tests are sitting right there!

@Charl28 oh I’m pleased you have a doctors appt. What a shame you can’t get in sooner. I’d ring up on day if you can and try get a cancellation. I’m hoping you get your bfp soon so you won’t even need to go! You haven’t had AF and that’s he biggest sign there is! 🤞🏻

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 14:27

@Cocobana Yeah that month I had a very intense AF so maybe it is increased hormones but maybe for another reason haha xxx
It's so frustrating how similar AF and preg symptoms are isn't it!
Oh I'm totally in the same boat, with my first two I didn't find out until atleast 6-9 weeks! So a missed period with dd and some familiar symptoms with ds is what made me realise. Ur so right when ur ttc it's a whole other ball game 🤣 it's a cool experience though don't u think? I feel like I've learnt so much -- all the mixed emotions aside 🤣
See how you feel in the next few days, hard I know but u may loose that feeling and be back on track?
I haven't got any tests thank god or I'd be at them lol. I'm trying to maybe not purchase u TIL next week 👀👀👀

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 14:31

Screw it im gonnatest on Sunday lol what have I got to loose 😂 I'll be 11dpo then hahaha

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 14:54

Oh no @Mfbroome I think I’m out before I was even in 🤣 you’re right I’m prob just going to have a really heavy period Shock 2nd Feb not going to be a good day lol 😂 when AF arrives lol
I haven’t found it a cool experience I’ve found it quite stressful and can’t imagine how difficult it must be for people who spend years ttc. I do think finding out new information is cool though. I’m grateful this is only cycle 3 and I already have one gorgeous little boy so I can’t really complain. I think I’ll try again next cycle (cycle 4) and then have a little break from trying for cycle 5.
I think 11 dpo is the perfect time to test, baby dust to you. ✨✨✨✨

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 15:01

Oh no sorry that didn't sound very comforting did it! I doubt it was that I was just thinking of more explanations 🙈🙈 I do honestly feel like cramping feeling is a good thing?! Some people say they feel cramping ASAP due to conception! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I hope so xxx 😘😘😘😘 when do u think ur gonna rest x

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 15:01

Test

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 15:17

Haha it’s okay, aww no need I appreciate your honesty. It’s impossible to tell but I think I’m just going to say I’m out this month as I don’t want to get my hopes up, it’ll just be easier to deal with if AF arrives. I haven’t thought about the testing yet with only being 4dpo but I think I’ll try just wait for AF. I know with ds I didn’t test positive until the night of the day of my missed period. I’ll prob cave and test early though 🤣 I hope Sunday comes quick for you and that you get you BFP...lots of baby dust ✨✨✨✨✨

Scarletrose18 · 24/01/2019 15:55

@charl28 Im sorry you have to wait until Wed! Thats a pain. Do you have the option of ringing to see if there is a cancelation each day as coco said? My doc gives out few apps on the day if you phone super early. I really hope AF doesnt come for you. Do u have any plans this weekend to try to keep yourself busy and not think about it as much?? (easier said than done, I know)

Testing Sunday @mfbroome Thats really not far away! Do u think you will manage to hold out until then? Sat was my original test day. Lol.

How did your appointment go today @pasta ? Did you get a nice midwife this time?

Aww @coco your head must feel so pickled right now 🤯🥒 Hoping all of this doesnt make your tww feel really long. Great that your opk was negative, at least thats a relief.

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 16:45

@Scarletrose18 thanks, I know it’s such a head screw. How are you feeling? Do you think you’ll test tomorrow morning? I’m excited for you and hope that lines gets darker for you ✨✨✨
It’s too tempting not to test isn’t it. I’m going to try to wait for AF but it’s going to be hard and I’ll prob fail test to soon and get a BFN and then followed by dreaded AF. I’m going to try and take my mind off it all during the rest of the TWW and concentrate on other things I think.

Scarletrose18 · 24/01/2019 16:58

Im ok I have had tiny crampy feelings again today every now and then. But this could be because my AF due on Monday, so hard to know. Oh yes im actually thinking of holding in for 4 hours and testing again tonight .... i have like a million tests so would be rude not to 😂🤣😂.

Oh I know its sooo long isnt it. Its like when your going on holiday and the countdown to it everyday is so long because your so excited lol. Maybe research places to go within an hour or so of you that u havnt been in ages and you could go on a daytrip with dh and ds then stop for a nice dinner on way home? Gives you something to look forward to and keeps your mind busy.

OP posts:
Cocobana · 24/01/2019 17:07

Aww @Scarletrose18 I’m sure it’s not AF and it’s hopefully been implantation for you. Well if you happened to get delayed from going to the toilet for afew hours and there just happens to be a pregnancy test right there what can you do!? It would definitely be rude not to 🤣😉
Good idea on the daytrip I think I’ll do that on Saturday 2nd Feb to take my mind off AF. I hope if AF is going to show up it’ll happen over night or early morning as at least then it’s not as bad as looking out for it lol.

Charl28 · 24/01/2019 18:06

@Mfbroome That’s amazing - wishing all the luck ❤️ I have everything crossed for you!
I am TTC baby number 1, got married few months ago and came off my pill end of Oct and this is my 2nd cycle. So far no AF but just can’t get my head around it. Hoping the doctor has the answer I am wanting 😊 I’m not to sure about testing, I was thinking maybe wait until Sat, that way it’s been a full week but I don’t know, it’s soul destroying seeing one line isn’t it!
Thank you @Cocobana - I know, Wednesday feels so far away but going to go out this weekend with my husband to take my mind off it hopefully anyway. Just having very slight and not AF style cramping, not painful just different. I keep wondering if it’s arriving and then I turn to google which probably isn’t great!
I know @Scarletrose18, so far away but think it will do me good that it’s a little further away in a strange way!
I just find it weird that I am feeling certain symptoms and they probably are all AF style ones too or maybe I’ve just made them up 😞 I hope not!
Xxxx

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 18:07

Yeah I know but I have a bad habit of tending to speak before I think sometimes lol! I didn't mean to be negative! 🙈 😘 sorry 😘
But honestly it could be anything not a heavy period it could be good cramping! Lets keep our
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 18:11

@Scarletrose18 no I think I will
Hold out until Sunday "she says" 😂😂 I'm actually starting to feel a little of a "dull ache" and a craving for choc which to me is crying out AF lol. It's the week before and I start getting ratty lol I can feel it coming 🤣🤣🤣 the symptoms have started but they r too familiar 😭

Scarletrose18 · 24/01/2019 18:23

@coco Yes defo, text all of your friends and arrange coffee dates for dif days next week too and it will help distract you too. Oh I really hope its not... got more now. If holding for 4 hours are u alowed a drink? I mean dh just made me a coffee. Should I maybe just drink half? Lol.

@Charl28 Congratulations!! Did you have a lovely day? I know I feel the same, I keep going between im defo preg and feeling cramps etc then im like noo way iv just made it all up. How you feel is normal and u have even more reason to feel that way after this long wait. Did you see in that chart I posted some people didnt get positive until 20 something days past ovulation. You just never know 🙂

@mfbroome I also suffer from speaking without thinking quite regularly in life .. I personally think its a condition that I have 😂 you havnt been tempted to buy tests yet then? Im a bad influence on you lol
