@LikeTheFruit Thankyou so much, wouldn't of coped without all you girls 💕

BostonFern · 24/02/2019 13:15

Welcome @hiddenfigure !

AF still hasn't shown up, was expecting her yesterday or Friday. I'm sure she's coming though, woke up to a lovely bunch of spots on my chin! My cold is worse today, but I've managed to declutter part of the bedroom so at least I've done something productive this morning.

orangeloo · 24/02/2019 13:30

Welcome @hiddenfigure & @Jc88146

Poor you trying such a long time and well done for soldiering on and finding us. Hopefully you'll get some answers and help to get you on ure way to your BFP very soon.

I'm hanging onto cycle 2 by a thread had some spotting last three days. But now don't feel so periody and had weird pain. I'm being realistic though and resisted urge to test. Might test in a day or two if AF hasn't showed up. But think I'm totally wishful thinking n she will come.

BostonFern · 24/02/2019 17:34

Still no AF. Just taken a cheap ASDA test, urine pretty dilute tbh, and got this- I think it might be an indent but it was visible in the 5 minute window. I have a FRER, might try it in the morning if AF doesn't show up before then (I'm still certain she will!).

@BostonFern oooh I can definitely see something! Yes defo test tomorrow and let us know! A line is a line and like you say your urine was dilute (we'll ignore my false lines because they were ICs 😂 I don't think that happens very often) fingers and toes crossed for you!!!

BabySquid · 24/02/2019 17:54

@BostonFern I think I see a line... bit of a squinter but I see it!! Keep us posted for tomorrow's test!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

BostonFern · 24/02/2019 17:55

Thanks @OhMarnie this was just a £1 one, so I'm not too sure I trust it to be honest! DP and I are trying not to get our hopes up yet (think until we saw this we had both just mentally moved onto cycle 3).

BostonFern · 24/02/2019 17:56

Will do @BabySquid !

orangeloo · 24/02/2019 17:56

@BostonFern yes I see something. FX for your test tomo.

BostonFern · 24/02/2019 17:56

Thanks @orangeloo 🙂

BostonFern · 24/02/2019 18:46

I think AF is coming- just had some spotting.

wildrabbit · 24/02/2019 18:46

Evening everyone. Congrats to those with BFPs and fingers crossed to those waiting! What an exciting couple of days!

Sadly after my week spent in worry, AF arrived with an absolute vengeance yesterday at over 2 weeks overdue. I've also come out in a bad allergic reaction/eczema type flare up all over my neck and left eye so feeling pretty sorry for myself. :(

I went to the GP Friday (pre-AF arriving) and ran the gauntlet of peeing in a pot there (after earlier per pot chats this week felt like you'd appreciate a giggle here!). Well, that was an experience! The pot was too small... so it was all very undignified! Ramekins and takeaway tubs for the win...

Doc gave some vague reassuring words about TTC but couldn't do anything to help with the skin flare up. Left feeling non-plussed.

Having said all of this, I feel like after the rough 2 weeks, I feel more prepared for the ups and the downs. Thanks to this group and doing more research and generally giving this a proper go after a year of not really wholeheartedly trying. So thank you everyone xx

(I think this makes me onto cycle 2 really... Lordy knows as I've been so haphazard the past few months! We had 5 family bereavement in 12 months so everything went slightly off course for a while there).

BostonFern · 24/02/2019 18:51

Sorry to hear AF arrived @wildrabbit , and about your bereavements, that must be very hard.

TrashKitten10 · 24/02/2019 19:09

Oooh @BostonFern talk about your body playing tricks with you! Hoping it's not AF spotting

@wildrabbit Sorry to hear AF has arrived, especially after leaving you hanging for two weeks. Sounds like you've had a rough time of it recently :( Hope your skin calms down x

7dpo here and not a symptom in sight. I'll enjoy symptom spotting analysis vicariously though all of you :)

thumper59 · 24/02/2019 19:35

@BostonFern try the frer tomorrow am! There looks to be colour in that. I hope the spotting doesn't develop into AF for you 🤞🏼

@wildrabbit sorry you've been having a rough time, hope cycle 2 is successful for you x

thumper59 · 24/02/2019 19:36

@TrashKitten10 still time yet! I didn't think much of my symptoms I only spotted them as I was really looking. They could easily of just been AF symptoms too and I only really felt crappy yesterday before I tested, but only slightly crappy! Some people don't get any, I think I got some early! But I still haven't had achey boobs at all and everyone says that's a definite sign so you just never know xx

daisiesandpeonies · 24/02/2019 19:48

@Jc88146 I'm on cycle 9 waiting for AF atm - 95% sure its coming. Cycle 10 coming soon! I'm going to do fertility tests in May if there's no luck. My husband never feels as invested as I do - I think it's never as intense for them as it's outside their body. I'm sorry that you've been feeling so low about it

MrsH497 · 24/02/2019 19:52

I can see something @BostonFern!! Take one in a couple of days in the morning. Finally days off after honestly what feels like the longest set of shifts! Topped off with being kicked last night in the stomach. No question for me if and when we find out I'm pregnant I will be telling work straight away I'm not risking anything.

How's everyone's weekend been? X

IoMoon · 24/02/2019 20:06

Hi everyone! I’ve been a super stalker here - good six months! That’s when we started trying for baby number one. Decided it’s about time I join in.. Was so sure this cycle was our cycle, well AF has just appeared, only late by 12 hours, just to tease me! On to cycle number 6..

OhMarnie · 24/02/2019 20:15

Wow @MrsH497 what's your job???

I'm trying to enjoy my last little bit of half term by watching crap on telly, I want to get into bed but I've got to pick DH up from the station after a stag weekend at half 9 🙄

Welcome @IoMoon!!!

MrsH497 · 24/02/2019 20:38

Hi @IoMoon welcome!
@OhMarnie I'm 👮🏻‍♀️ a girl in blue! X

OhMarnie · 24/02/2019 20:43

@MrsH497 that's sooo cool!!! I love watching Police Interceptors 😂

LokiCat · 24/02/2019 21:07

@BostonFern definitely see a hint of a line. I hope it's not AF coming for you! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽🤞🏽

@wildrabbit sorry that AF showed up :( wishing you lots of luck for the next cycle!

@MrsH497 I hope you're okay!! That's so scary. DH is police as well and I'm constantly worrying about him being injured.

Welcome @IoMoon! So sorry to hear AF showed up :( hopefully the next cycle will be the one for you!

Back to work tomorrow 😩 the weekend flies by so fast! Have hardly spent anytime with DH since Friday as he was working, so left before I woke up and then back late :( I feel so much more emotional when he's not around, I know it's ridiculous 🙈

MrsH497 · 24/02/2019 21:14

@LokiCat I love my job but DH is also police Officer and it's awful when one of us gets assaulted. Luckily no damage no marks just a bit tender!

@OhMarnie well the bbc do a Met Police documentary and a Mumsnet contributor may be featuring! Wink

starkid · 24/02/2019 21:53

Hi everyone, sorry to those who've had AF turn up. Fingers crossed for those still waiting! @BostonFern fx for a good line tomorrow on frer!

I'm 9dpo, due Tuesday, and along with the (still!) sore boobs, I've now turned spotty which is my 2nd definite AF sign. The last sign is when I turn randomly very hyper/active, then guaranteed AF arrival within the day... So expecting that maybe tomorrow 😣 then onto cycle 7 I'll go.

Not feeling even slightly hopeful this cycle, and overall feeling really fed up of the whole TTC thing!! Especially knowing once I can go to the doctors for a scan I'm almost certain it'll come up with a problem, and will feel so irritated at all the wasted months 😟
