@BabySquid oh that would be so lovely! Fingers crossed!!

I have a suspiciously familiar backache 🤨what's the betting AF will arrive while I'm having my fancy afternoon tea 🙄

DayDreamer1707 · 20/02/2019 13:16

@Lozzlepop I totally agree, if I ever have any questions or issues, I am straight on here to my girls. It's such a good supportive group 😍😍

@TrashKitten10 AF due tomorrow or up until Friday. I had a very light pink tinged to the TP last night and I do normally start spotting before AF so I think I will be holding out for as long as possible. I will let @BostonFern take the lead on this, try and stay away from the test....FX

@BabySquid that would be the cutest thing!!

@OhMarnie I give up with the cramps, back ache and fatigue...they can all mean the same thing 😣 I still think you need to do a FRER x

BostonFern · 20/02/2019 13:26

We haven't told anyone we are currently TTC. My mum knows we hope to start a family this year, but that's it. This community is great, I think I'd be feeling very lonely without you guys to talk to!

thumper59 · 20/02/2019 13:29

Ovia told me the other day our baby would be due between 5-9th November if we concieved. My birthday is bang In the middle!

Fingers crossed for you all! I really aren't looking forward to my 2nd niece or nephews gender reveal next week. I know I should be happy for them, but I don't feel like being happy about it. Not inside of course externally I am. Argh I'm not a bad person, promise!

Good luck to all testing! Fingers crossed! Hope feb is our lucky month

Lozzlepop · 20/02/2019 13:35

@BabySquid thats good you have your girls round you for support! Aww how amazing would that be ☺️

@DayDreamer1707 its such a nice community to have around you isn't it❤️

@OhMarnie fingers crossed she doesn't, afternoon tea sounds lovely!

I am just back from the gym, thought it may have shoogled AF out but still nothing....

@BostonFern @BabySquid @Lozzlepop I'm the same ladies, my family don't know we're trying. They may well have guessed, but we haven't told them! I doubt I'll get a BFP this month anyway - I've had way too much stress and other stuff going on for me to conceive and it be healthy! I would be due on 1 November if I was pg though... 🙈

BabySquid · 20/02/2019 13:48

(Does anyone know who ⬇️⬇️ is?? They're not on our grad list and I think it's a little inconsiderate to post that when we're all here TTC)
just me???

thumper59 · 20/02/2019 13:49

@Lozzlepop I think it'll be your cycle this cycle 🤞🏼

@MrsR16 @BostonFern @BabySquid
Nobody knows we are trying either, it's quite lonely, well would be without this thread! 💕

starkid · 20/02/2019 13:49

Boobs have started hurting today, which has happened previously for a whole week before AF, but hey at least I can say it's also a pregnancy symptom Grin

starkid · 20/02/2019 13:52

@3ofakind - it might be better posting your photo in the antenatal topics page

3ofakind · 20/02/2019 13:54

Yes I didn’t mean to post this one here it said I was on a different thread :(

MrsR16 · 20/02/2019 13:54

@BabySquid I think you're right lovely! I completely missed that post! @starkid you're all over it though 😂

starkid · 20/02/2019 13:59

@3ofakind - no worries, it happens! xx

wildrabbit · 20/02/2019 14:18

@thumper59 I totally get that feeling. Both sister in law's have just had gorgeous babies. I am super chuffed for them but it does hit hard sometimes. We'll get there Smile

@bostonfern I was super nervous about joining forums but have only really hinted at TTC to my mum and no-one really knows so it does feel really lonely. It's amazing how much content and info there is for pregnancy and raising babies but this stage is so kind of hidden away and you go it alone if that makes sense? Anyway glad I didn't chicken out of joining the forum Smile

In meantime CD42 and still no AF so no clue what's going on at the mo! Confused

DayDreamer1707 · 20/02/2019 14:42

@thumper59 I know how you feel. I have a baby shower this weekend...when I am practically due AF. I am so supportive of her though because she has had 5 MC and has been through a lot. This will be the 3rd one for me this year with another one coming up on my what would of been due date 😣

I don't think people like to ask us if we are trying with our past. Some friends know that we are trying and are a great support because they have been through a MC but others don't know how actively trying we are. If I ever didn't have a drink in my hand at a party people would certainly be suspicious but wouldn't say anything...it's like I'm protected and people would be scared to say anything 😆

Lozzlepop · 20/02/2019 14:54

@MrsR16 if I am the due date will be Oct 30th so not too dissimilar.

@thumper59 thank you lovely

@DayDreamer1707 hope the baby shower isn't too hard, lovely news for your friend though after so much heartache. Its always a touchy subject the whole TTC journey I tend not to ask people, if they want to tell me then thats fine.

Totally sitting here second guessing myself as starting to feel sick and crampy, could this be AF just being late and cruel?

DayDreamer1707 · 20/02/2019 15:11

@wildrabbit Have you tested at all? How many DPO are you and how long are your cycles normally? Sorry for the questions x

@Lozzlepop hey if I'm not allowed to give up neither are you!!! Both symptoms could be good. Yes it is good news, which gives me hope that there is a chance for me again. See how you feel tomorrow x

orangeloo · 20/02/2019 15:23

My family know I am trying but my mum and sister can't relate really. both got pregnant at the drop of a hat/ by accident/ my brother was conceived when my mum had a coil in place! So they know I am wanting but they can't really relate to the actually having to try business. so again as you have all been saying, so grateful I found this thread!

granddesigns · 20/02/2019 15:31

This tww is turning my brain to mush! Have no ability to distinguish whether symptoms are impending af or pg related! Ov on 11 Feb and dtd day before, day of and day after plus a few other days for luck! Last two evenings have had grumbling abdominal discomfort - early for af but no real other symptoms.... except for being shattered, though pretty standard! this is cycle 3 and I'm sure the wait gets longer each time the more I plan to distract myself! Pretty sure I ovulated when opk said - just wish time would pass and we would know. Trying some alternative therapies next cycle if this isn't successful- not everyone's cup of tea but want to keep adding something to the monthly mix so I feel I am at least doing something! Good luck to those testing and waiting to test too! See to have decided the box of tats bought off amazon aren't great at giving an accurate result - any advice while I wait for af/proper testing date?!

Lola871 · 20/02/2019 15:35

@wildrabbit another one for the long cycle but no BFP club! There are a few of us on here at the moment it seems. I've tested every day since AF was due (Sunday) all BFN, going to miss a day and test again Friday if still nothing. I've never been this late before but then it's the first month of TTC so of course my body has chosen this month to be awkward! No pre-AF symptoms so far either but cramps etc can be made worse by the coil so don't even know what normal for me is yet!

Everyone thinks we don't want children so we don't get too many questions!

Lozzlepop · 20/02/2019 15:49

@wildrabbit have you done a test?

@DayDreamer1707 ahhhh thanks lovely, currently focusing on the pain I am going to be in from that gym sesh so its taken my mind off it lol!

@granddesgns its a nightmare isn't it? your brain ends up going into overdrive! when is AF due? I have been feeling pretty tired and been having quite good sleeps the last few nights which has been nice! What are you thinking in terms of alternative therapies?

@Lola871 have you been using FRER or just IC to test?

granddesigns · 20/02/2019 16:07

@Lozzlepop thanks for your reply. Just reread post and it seems brain has long gone. Last part was about amazon bought preg tests would you believe!

Af is due next Tuesday 26th although I think I'm expecting it on 25 based on Recent cycles being a bit shorter.

I'm thinking acupuncture might be worth exploring but open to ideas! Have read it can help when ttc.

Lozzlepop · 20/02/2019 16:45

@granddesigns Hahaha it is late on a Wednesday afternoon so you can be forgiven. I think I will still use the ones I got on Amazon just because I have them in the house lol! Oh really, I never knew that, always good to hear about alternative therapies!

Lozzlepop · 20/02/2019 16:49

Well bloody AF has arrived after all 😣
