Starting new thread - no stats though.

@rose555 oh I bet you are bursting to tell DH, how are you going to do it?

@Bettythecat The anxiety is awful!! But just remember, the odds are in your favour - it is way more likely that everything will be just fine than not, so I think you are fine to be optimistic and try to enjoy it! I have everything crossed for you :) please do stick around!

@Lozzlepop I tried that Darkmilk stuff - bloody delicious!!

@rose555 Ahhh what wonderful news and such a great line! Congratulations!

So I've had a weird symptom that is beginning to drive me slightly crazy.
I ov'd Sunday and ever since Monday have had the tiniest, faintest brown discharge in the morning that disappears midday. At first I thought 'oooh maybe that's implantation bleeding people talk about' as also had a heavy vagina feeling early in the week too.
AF not due till Wednesday next week so either it's some weird discharge that I've never had before or AF is trying to mark her territory 10 days before she's due?! 😫

That's all really interesting stuff @MrsEG, good to have some clear guidance. The fundraiser is a great thing to do too.

Sorry to hear about AF @orangeloo - also on cycle 6 and getting more and more frustrated. Think stepping things up sounds like a good idea.

Stick around @Bettythecat!

Fantastic news @rose555 So happy for you!

Is there a chance you ovulated early @kiza?

Morning ladies. Hope everyone is well 😊 Sorry for being AWOL but it's done me good. My first AF was hard, emotionally and physically after the MC but I was then glad to get back on it as soon as she left. I'm currently 4/5dpo and DP is glad of the rest. Just got to wait it out now 😣 I keep counting the weeks where I would have been (13 this week) can't help it and it makes me so sad.

Sending lots of love and pixie dust to everyone and Congrats on any BFPs I've missed 💖

@MrsEG its so yummy isn't it!

Morning @PinkFizz19 👋🏻welcome back, so nice to see you here! Did you find it was worse than pre MC AF? I know what you mean about counting where you would have been weeks wise - it is tough 😞

@Kiza @Bettythecat omg you've saved my memory! So much easier to write messages. I honestly just thought everyone else was super human (I mean, I'm sure you are in your owns way!)

@rose555 huge congratulations- it's so nice to see a BFP - and know that symptoms do sometimes translate into pregnancy! You must be so pleased.

@MrsEG - so glad you got some good advice. My friend also said she wouldn't recommend aspirin - not without a proper consult and good reason. Good luck with the consultant. It's always good to go in armed with information!

@Lozzlepop thank you! I'm really excited - and timing wise it's good as hopefully I won't get obsessed with ttc! What are you up to this weekend?

@Bettythecat Completely agree - I like to research everything - it does make you feel in control! Though I'm trying to be optimistic. Also, please stick around!

@orangeloo Totally with you on the fitness front! Want to be in good shape for it it does happen!

@Lola871 I've only used the cb ones - which were super easy. FMU - five mins later a result.

Oh man, I have so much work to do before my flight this evening but instead I'm having breakfast in a nearby cafe, researching early symptoms.

@Larrydavid I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back! Our neighbours are supposed to be having a BBQ tomorrow but its rained all week so not sure if that will still be happening! Out for a big family lunch on Sunday which I am looking forward too other than that just trying to get all the housework done before our holidays!

@rose555 congratulations! ❤️

@PinkFizz19 welcome back. X

So here's my plan. I'm no longer giving FRER my moneys, but I have about 60 very cheap dip tests. Someone on Reddit has been peeing on those every day since her trigger. I'm thinking of doing the same.

I know some people find frequent POAS distressing, but it really makes me feel calmer to know what's happening. And line-spotting gives me hope. And a BFN when AF is coming is less disconcerting to me than a "surprise" period.

Whatever works for you @ValidUser, works for you. If that will keep you calm and get you through the wait then go for it!

@Larrydavid Thanks so much for asking about the aspirin - I think it’s fairly clear at this point not to take it unless a consultant tells you to! I have a bottle of it in the cupboard too 🙊 So pleased I found out now rather than later!! Enjoy your trip!

@PinkFizz19 Welcome back :) It is hard - the first due date from my first MC is coming up in 5 weeks and I’m dreading it. I just do my best not to obsess over it. Much, much easier said than done! Fingers crossed for you this cycle 🤞🏻

Those internet cheapie dip sticks are the devil. I've been using one a day since CD8 (and still get BFN so I think I'm going this month). It's like a ritual and I feel like an absolute nutjob but I can't stop myself!

Thanks @MrsEG. You're good people. It'll also reassure me if I do get a BFP that it's not just the trigger, because the line should fade before getting darker. So glad you got some answers about the aspirin.

@PaintingOwls they're awful, but they might help keep me sane in a way that won't break the bank. 😂

Trying to catch up on all the new posts since I was last on, you ladies have been busy!! Congrats to @Betty and @Rose.

@Betty, your "lurking" with your good news gives the rest of us hope. For me anyway!! If it was only all ladies TTC who left once they got the BFP it wouldn't be as nice a place to be!!

As my name suggest I am meant to be working, but I am finishing up early today and I am just soooo done with work for this week!!

So on further research, my home iui plan isn't great. But I'll keep thinking!

@dahlia123 I don't think so as I used opks daily for 10 days tracking and it coincided with high cervix position and EWCM.
Just really odd and wondered if any other ladies had anything similar?
Suppose I just have to wait it out till next week and see if AF shows or not 🤷🏼‍♀️

@PaintingOwls I did the same one month, it's so easy to justify to yourself cos they're so cheap! We do put ourselves through it sometimes 😄

She's here! AF is here! I don't care that it's Friday and I'm working an entire wknd of evenings! I don't care that my click and collect failed so had to brave the supermarket on a Friday afternoon! And I don't even care that I'll be working the football tomor instead of scoffing loads of yummy snacks with my DP, because she's here!!!!!!!!!!

Never thought I'd be this excited to see AF turn up! Here's to ttc again! Yey! I wonder if this will be a 62 day cycle too

Have a wonderful relaxing weekend ladies, I'll catch up when I get chance, thank you for your encouragement and reassurance these past few weeks! Now, where's that sperm meets egg plan...

@Tashdreams to quote Always, have a happy period. 😂

Hi everyone, am dipping my toes back into this thread again after a bit of a break
Currently CD13 and doing opks, dtd every other day until a positive.

Have been taking Pregnacare liquid as well as 1000mg vitamin C, 50mg C Vitamin B6, a B12 oral Spray, and Cod Liver Oil (can't remember what strength right now) every day. Doubt any of it will help but makes me feel better!

Have I missed any BFP's in the last week or two?

Hi @starkid, nice to hear from you! good going remembering to take all those!

Hello @starkid!

How are you both? :)
@Lozzlepop
@ValidUser

@starkid I'm great. Took my trigger shot yesterday and enjoying the false BFP it has given me. 😂 2 good follicles on Wednesday so hoping for the best. Off work, so doing lots of nice things and I've just tidied the house (which is very unlike me).

How are you?

How are you?

@starkid I'm good thanks, getting ready to head away on holiday on Wednesday 😄just Monday at work then I am DONE!!!!
