Hi Ladies,

Thought it would be good to start a 2019 support thread for all of us who are trying to conceive. Any one welcome, please join!
I will start:
Age: 26
TTC: baby no.1
Trying: 20 cycles with 2 chemical pregnancies
Currently: 2 ww, due on tomorrow with negative HPT's so far

Would be great to hear your stories and support each other along the way. Wishing you all baby dust☺️💐xx

@Waiting2bMum I know :-( I uploaded 4 in total I'm sure and it says 6 max per day I've tried logging out and back in, 🤔 will try again in an hour and cross my fingers it works I'm dying for some opinions! X

@Tryingforno2 that is really odd. I could try and upload it for you if you send it to me privately, do you know how to do that? X

It’s okay @tryingforno2 thank you! I’m still hopeful and sure AF won’t come today. 😁 That’s amazing about the darker line though! Weird about the picture though...

@waiting2bmum yep hoping it’s that. 😁 I have 3 left think I might skip a day tomorrow and test again on Thursday if AF hasn’t shown. ☺️ Xx

@Waiting2bMum thank you! I haven't got a clue! I'm on the app and can't see an option for messaging privately xx

@Lemurville what brand of hot strips are you using xx

@Lemurville hpt even! X

@MrsE95 @Waiting2bMum seeing if it works this time! X

I would say that's a definite line, I don't think anyone won't be able to see it!

@MrsE95 is AF due today?? Yeah I think that's a good idea leave it a few days. I reckon you've implanted late, at the most it can take 12 days which would explain it xx
@Tryingforno2 whooo hooo congratulations!!💐💐🎉🎉xx

@Tryingforno2 definitely a line! congrats to you!

MrsE95 i think i'm in the same boat as you! AF due but had a BFN 2 days ago going to hold off until the end of the week as well, crossing fingers for you.

@tryingforno2 congrats that looks like a line to me ! Last pic was sainsbury own brand. Will try to get a frer today x

Thank you @meepmoop and @Waiting2bMum I'm trying not to get 2 carried away as miscarried at 5 weeks last time, just going to try and relax and kind of pretend it's not happening until AF is actually late then hopefully I will get a nice strong test xx

@Lemurville wishing you lots of luck I hope you get your line very very soon :-) xx

@tryingforno2 that is a definite line!! Congrats! 😁🎉💖

@nwlv it’s so frustrating isn’t it! Still feeling positive for us all though! 😁

@waiting2bmum well I shall try and leave it a few day but I’m a POAS addict 😂 I’ll leave my FRER until Thursday/Friday anencephaly use my cheapies to feed my addiction. 😂 how’re you feeling today? Xx

Congrats @Tryingforno2 that's a definite line 🎉

I'm trying to hold off testing until AF is definitely late (which is hard to know as I'm unsure of my cycle). Xxx

Hi guys,

I don't suppose anyone can give me advice as to whether these symptoms could just be a period due?

I stopped my pill on 06/01/18 and had my period 10/01/19. I've had unprotected sex since then and think I may have ovulated around 24/25th Jan as I had some clear, jelly like discharge (sorry TMI).

About a week after this I started having really sore nipples and erect all the time 🙈 I've had a really dull ache in my vagina, shooting pains in my boobs (mainly left) and constipation and just recently white jelly like discharge.

I've been on the pill for 12 years so have no idea what my normal period symptoms could be. Are these all normal signs of a period?

Sorry for the long post guys, you all seem to know a lot more about this than I do.

Thanks in advance, Jess x

I find period symptoms are super similar to pregnancy ones its a pain!

I sometimes get cramping before period too.

I came off the pill in July so i know how you feel trying to figure out your cycles etc is a nightmare, I got pregnant in August/September but miscarried in October at 5-6 weeks , but it just shows things can happen really quick.

Wishing you luck.

sorry i meant @JessHughes17

@JessHughes17 erect nipples was my first symptom!!! I thought ohhh that's odd because I was laid in a super hot bath! Xx

@JessHughes17 I found all other symptoms similar to pre AF really do it is tricky but the nipples were odd! Xx

@Tryingforno2 @nwlv thank you! I know it's really frustrating because I'm not sure what's a period symptom so I'm over thinking everything.

@nwlv so sorry to hear about your MC 😢

Since I had the chemical pregnancy 2 years ago all I have thought about is being pregnant so I think over analysing every little feeling/pain.

Thanks so much for replying xx

@JessHughes17 I think everyone's the same with symptom spotting when you're ttc honestly I think it's normal, the nipples are a good sign though 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 that you get your BFP when you do test! Xxx

@jesshughes17 thank you! its hard isn't it. Its probably better not to think about it and see what happens but its easier said than done. Sorry about your chemical pregnancy it makes it so much harder after having a tough experience! Do you track your cycle on an app or anything I've found it makes it a bit easier when your not sure on the length of cycle gives you a rough idea of when you're due and you can track symptoms so you can look back and see whats similar and different.

@nwlv yeah it does make it harder! I'll take your advice and try not to think about it too much (if that's possible haha).

I've never used an app but I think I might download one. Do you have any recommendations? Xxx
