Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

@LokiCat I hear ya! I’m sat on the sofa with my bare butt exposed as trousers have been pulled down below my butt and is sat around my lower hip 😂 DP is happy so!

Tropicana1 · 29/04/2019 19:15

Stocked up on tampons today in preparation for AF which obviously means I'll actually get a BFP instead. Right? That's how it works in my head 😂

Keyboard91 · 29/04/2019 19:26

@Tropicana1 I like your thinking 😂

LikeTheFruit · 29/04/2019 19:27

@Tropicana1 😂😂 I tried that last month by buying some ModiBodi pants. Hoping you're more lucky than I was!!

cupcakesandglitter · 29/04/2019 20:17

@McHelenz did you watch it?! X

Thanks @LokiCat xx

@Keyboard91 the bloat has hit me too!Came into the house and whipped my bra off because these titties do not want touching, and opened my zip and unleashed the belly 😂 x

@Tropicana1 I like your thinking 😂😂 x

@LikeTheFruit ooh I've wondered about the pants!! Do they work well/are they comfy? Xx

LokiCat · 29/04/2019 20:18

@Keyboard91 😂😂 I bet your DP is happy!

This is the life guys, seriously. It's all she's done this afternoon/evening:

TTC First Baby - Thread 16!!
Keyboard91 · 29/04/2019 20:27

@cupcakesandglitter It’s all hanging out, don’t know how I’m going to wear these trousers tomorrow at this rate!

@LokiCat he is very happy and now in the mood ... but my drive is zero and my energy is zero so it’s a non-starter! Love the kitty!

Got halfway through my dinner and stopped as wave of nausea. Just want to know what is going on! Xx

McHelenz · 29/04/2019 20:28

@cupcakesandglitter I can't deal. I had to sit in a dark room haha

MrsEG · 29/04/2019 20:30

Just watched GoT - oh my goodness!!!!

Tropicana1 · 29/04/2019 20:52

@Keyboard91 @cupcakesandglitter @LikeTheFruit thanks for the support girls 😂🙌🏻 here's hoping I manage to keep AF away through the power of buying tampons!

@LokiCat 😻😻

Keyboard91 · 29/04/2019 20:59

Just had a shower and was having a good breast squeeze and found what feels like a lump ... but there’s such changes in the feel of them at the moment (tissue growth) so I’m fairly confident that’s what it is. I’m 11dpo with other symptoms of PG so a possibility. Do I rush to get an appointment tomorrow or do I wait until I find out in the next few days and then get it checked armed with that information (which would be fairly significant)?

LikeTheFruit · 29/04/2019 20:59

@cupcakesandglitter I've only used them one month but I was impressed. Very comfy and no leaks even overnight. One pair has gone a bit bobbly though but no one will see. Get to try them out again as AF has finally arrived after 5 days of spotting torture

Fivebyfive2 · 29/04/2019 21:00

Just seen GOT... Good heavens!! Only 3 to go. Plus a 90 min line of duty next Sunday. At least they're good distractions!!

cupcakesandglitter · 29/04/2019 21:02

Hey guys so I won't be testing on weds. My boobs are bursting but my pre-AF spotting has arrived, which means AF will be here on Wednesday... I'm gonna keep off Mumsnet for a bit and look after myself, but I'll be popping back to see how you all get on - good luck to everyone testing xxxx

Fivebyfive2 · 29/04/2019 21:14

@keyboard91, I'd wait a a few days to be honest. If you're pg you'll be calling your gp anyway. If af comes, you can always call if it's still there?? Xx

OP posts:
Fivebyfive2 · 29/04/2019 21:16

@cupcakesandglitter, sorry to hear af is on her way. Take care and definitely pop back when you're ready xxx

FlapJackered · 29/04/2019 21:29

Omg GOT was sooooo good!!! I want to watch the next episode now! Apparently that episode took 55 nights of filming. 😬

@cupcakesandglitter I am so sorry, our bodies really do have a special kind of way to fuck us over. Take all the time you need lovely ❤️

@Keyboard91 I would probably wait too. I am sure it is nothing to worry about, but if you are worried and seeing someone will make you feel better then I would go. X

@Marleym28 dpo twins! I am good thanks! I try to ignore any symptoms now as my body definitely tries to mess with me as I have had far more symptoms on my bfn months than the month I got my mc bfp. Are you feeling ok? What date will you test do you think?

MrsEG · 29/04/2019 21:44

@FlapJackered @Fivebyfive2 Soo Good! DH is now on his second viewing haha!

@cupcakesandglitter Oh I’m so sorry. Take some time for yourself and look after yourself xx

@Keyboard91 So I’ve had many lumps, and I would go to the GP now if I was you. It takes about 2 weeks for your appointment at the hospital and you’ll know for sure by then. Just tell the GP you are TTC, they can advise if it could just be a symptom of that; they’ll know from the feel. But from my experience it takes a few weeks to be seen and you want the peace of mind! But also, try not to worry - I have had 8 (!!) lumps aspirated over the past 10 years, all benign cysts with nothing to worry about.

@LokiCat So cute!! Our dog currently looks exactly the same after his late night walk!! What a life, eh?!

MrsEG · 29/04/2019 22:05

Ovulation day and I’ve honestly just eaten the core of a pineapple. DH looked at me like I was eating human flesh. I’ve officially crossed in to the ‘believing the old wives tales’ territory of TTC! For the record, pretty tough to eat but I managed it! Got a big bag of Brazil nuts to munch through on my TWW now too... sweet lord what have I become

LokiCat · 29/04/2019 22:41

@cupcakesandglitter oh I'm so sorry AF is making an appearance. I hope some time away does you some good. Take care of yourself ❤️

@Keyboard91 as others have said, I think if it's something that's worrying you then book an appointment straight away and tell them you're TTC and could potentially be pregnant. If you think you'll be able to wait a few days, then book one till after you've tested? I hope everything is okay xx

@MrsEG haha the things we go through whilst TTC! I don't think our DH/DPs will ever understand! I hope it all helps!! xx

Fivebyfive2 · 29/04/2019 22:57

@MrsEG, well hopefully between allllll the well times sex and the, ahem, interesting, food choices, you've got all the bases covered?! 😀🤞

I'm feeling the urge to test... No real reason, just the usual temptation. Am determined to stay strong. Only 9dpo, must wait until Sunday. Assuming af doesn't arrive.

Guys, I'm soooo gonna be pretending I'm in game of thrones while we're visiting castles in Wales at the weekend!!

Marleym28 · 29/04/2019 23:18

@FlapJackered twinnies! I don't think I am going to test tbh. If AF is late then I will.
The last couple of cycles I've really hooked onto every small symptom which was a fair few that I don't usually get (/probably didn't notice pre TTC) and it was BFN. This month I have no symptoms, although on the positive it's making me feel less crazy than the past couple.

Am just trying to be a bit more relaxed as I felt so disheartened when I got AF last month.

I say all that but give me until tomorrow as I'm sure I'll be peeing on sticks in no time ;)

Keep me posted on how you get on. All my fingers are crossed for us!

KatBeCool · 30/04/2019 01:02

@MrsEG I loved the last episode of Game of Thrones, can't wait for the next one. I have one theory that I want to see if it happens.

@cupcakesandglitter take care of yourself!

@Keyboard91 if it feels like a lump, have it seen asap. Better it be false alarm than something serious. FX it's nothing.

Dollywilde · 30/04/2019 07:28

Lots of love @cupcakesandglitter

Felt really bummed out yesterday, work is mega busy and had dreadful period pain that ibuprofen didn’t really help much with. Feeling a bit better today but just hate that it takes so long before you can try again, cant belief we have to wait another month. I know I’m being ridiculous as we’ve only just started but I think I’d underestimated the emotional side of TTC. Blah.

I’d told myself that I was going to take the more relaxed approach this month like you @marleym28 ... but just ordered a bumper pack of OPKs. Go figure!

Keyboard91 · 30/04/2019 07:54

@Fivebyfive2 @FlapJackered @MrsEG @LokiCat @KatBeCool thank you all. It’s still there this morning. I can’t get an appointment today as there is no chance I can leave work. My mum has had 3 cysts drained so it’s likely if it’s not hormonal to be that (although the lump itself does not hurt when I press) but I will get it checked out tomorrow hopefully just in case. Don’t want to risk anything.

@cupcakesandglitter I’m sorry sweetie :( I really hope some self care helps you to process this and we will be here when you feel ready to come back. Sending big hugs your way.

Tested this morning (11-12dpo) as AF is due tomorrow and I felt nauseous last night. BFN. Had a little blob of thick snot like CM when I wiped. Still feel icky today, half of my toast is at home uneaten and I drove to work feeling sicky. Still feel off now. A student gave me a cream egg yesterday (my FAVE) and it’s still on my desk which my DP does not believe. One minute I think I’m PG and the next I think I’m not. I’m really emotional - currently sat in my classroom crying - which is not normal for me. And I’m very easy overwhelmed. I’m used to a high stress job and never ending to do list and pressure about student attainment and can usually deal with it fairly well. But not the last couple of days :/
