@MrsH497 sounds like you've had a really odd cycle. Have you tested on a frer this month/ found out what's going on? Our bodies are a pain - it's frustrating when your cycle is all over the place!

Thanks @Lozzlepop! How you doing?

@ELW85 I'm feeling pretty lucky in the fact that I've not really felt bad. Most annoying thing is that I'm off food in general. Not really fancying anything and not finishing any meals. How many weeks are you now?

@Anny27 thank you! I have my fingers crossed for your tww! I was drinking in my tww.. in fact I had quite a bit the weekend before I got my bfp on the Tuesday! 🙈

Now I've just got the next 5 weeks to wait until we can actually tell people. We already caved and told my parents when we first found out as I wanted someone else to talk to/worry to. Xx

@PrincessConsuela12 I am pretty good tbh, I did 3 last month to male sure, 1st test was 5 days before AF due, then when AF due and then just to make sure when AF finished . . . So I'm pretty sure I'll stay strong until Saturday!

As for symptoms, these could be PMT or other things but the leg rashes! That's completely new, I've never had anything like it before that I can remember?!

Spoke to gp today (have to have telephone consultation first) she just said oh well it's one of those things even it was a pregnancy that didn't develop to a positive test and you lost it before then we wouldn't class it as a miscarriage. If you have any more cycles like it we might do tests.
Not had any spotting or bleeding since this morning so I've had spotting and occasionally bleeding since Sunday no proper flow and it was 4 days early. IC has been negative (15dpo now) frer arrived today part of me doesn't want to "waste" a test when in all probability it'll be negative.

Such a weird month - got to hope we get 🌈 soon

@MIW01 have you been anywhere different recently or been around any animals? Could be a reaction to something?

Wow, that’s very restrained! I feel like I need to relax a bit with them, I tell myself I will but then the urge takes over.

Are you tracking ovulation / temp etc or just seeing how things go?

@Anny27 hehe thank you! Hoping I don't stress OH out 😅

@Larrydavid oh yay!! Officially I should be starting DTD every other day starting Friday but thought it couldn't hurt to start early 😅🤣 never had acupuncture done before is it painful?

@MrsH497 I'd do your FRER today for peace of mind and then if it's not positive (hopefully it is) then try SMEP this month and see how that works. You'll get your rainbow baby don't worry xxxxx

Morning ladies

@MrsH497 I will keep everything crossed for Bfp on FRER, such a confusing cycle for you.

Wishing happy healthy pregnancies to those with their BFPs x

I am due AF today according to Ovia app 😬 I’m 14DPO. Ive been having cramps for the last few days so I think it’s coming 😭 but my LP was 17 days last month so I guess I could be waiting until Sunday. I haven’t tested because I just don’t have any signs to make me think I should but I do have a wedding this weekend so there will be drinking. Not sure what to do. I don’t want to waste a FRER and don’t think I can bear the disappointment of a BFN again

@PrincessConsuela12 I'm always around animals as I have a horse, 2 dogs and a cat, so it's not that. Not gone away anywhere recently so no changes to my environment. Really odd!

I am taking temp but my sleep cycle is all over the place as I have sleeping disorders along side ME so have real 'rock mountains' temps which is a pain, hence me thinking I could be anywhere between 8-11DPO now. From what I've read there doesn't seem to be any point testing earlier than 10DPO as before then it's unlikely implantation has happened.

@PrincessConsuela12 good luck for testing on Sunday! Hope its good news for you 🤞

@hopeandpray1988 i think i will struggle not to tell everyone right away when we grt our bfp. Well done to you for waiting it out haha!

P.s thanks for everyones thoughts on drinking in TWW :)

@Anny27 I do try and cut down on coffee etc but if it's something thats been planned for a while then until theres a definite answer I would just do as you normally would!

@hopeandpray1988 i'm doing ok thanks 😊about to head to the gym and not really feeling it today I am feeling pretty snoozy so am glad that its almost the weekend!

I have everything crossed for you @MrsH497 it will happen for you! How are you feeling today? Did you take the FRER?

How is everyone doing today? Ready for the weekend?

@hopeandpray1988 - we sound pretty similar. I’ve had a few days where I’ve felt really sick but it doesn’t last long, but loads of days where I just don’t want to eat and I have to force myself.
Today was the first day I actually threw up, but there was nothing to throw up so it was a bit weird.
8 weeks today and just hoping that everything is still going well with the little one :)
Got another early scan booked for bank holiday Monday as I just want a bit more reassurance!

@MrsH497 - that was a pretty poor thing for the GP to say; I hope you’re ok? You will get your 🌈 soon; keep your head up!

@ValidUser - I might have missed it, but I don’t think I’ve seen you in a while; hope you’re ok?

Hi everyone hope I’m not too late to join!
I’m 26 and TTC First baby. Only came off the mini pill yesterday so know I’ve got a way to go!

xx

Thank you @Anny27 I'm feeling a bit crampy this evening so not too optimistic but we'll see...

Hey @ELW85 @Lozzlepop @Sunshine8888 @cupcakesandglitter sadly a BFN I thought I could see something this morning briefly but it's negative. Onto month 10
Thank you for all thinking of me. I'm ok disappointed and thought it would happen quicker after the mc so consoling myself with bad food and gin

@PrincessConsuela12 I'm probably going to be the most boring cycle buddy ever because I'm desperately trying not to test until AF is late! I'm only really in cycle 2 actively trying, which I know is nothing compared to what some of you are going through, but I miscarried in June after getting my BFP in cycle 1 and somehow AF arriving seems like it might be slightly less upsetting than a BFN. Fingers crossed there's not going to be anymore AFs in this group this cycle anyway 😊!

Sorry to hear that @MrsH497, I got so caught up in everyone telling me I was bound to fall pregnant again straight away after, but I'm trying to think that any cycle it doesn't happen is just more time for my body to get ready to do everything my rainbow baby will need 💜

@Gemster19 Sorry to hear about your miscarriage you're doing so well not to early test. I see your logic though, BFN are so disappointing.

This is my first month properly trying since my ectopic in December, I managed to get pregnant on my first cycle so I think at the back of my mind I'm worried the ectopic might've affected things and it may take longer this time.

Luckily it's nearly the weekend & will hopefully take our minds off the TWW x

Hello everyone. Long time no chat. I've been feeling really down with all of it and having a very stressful time in general. Still here. On cycle 14. Still injecting. Scan tomorrow.

Have I missed anything? X

@ValidUser hello lovely sorry to hear you're feeling down. I get that feeling I'm struggling a bit into month 10. Keep us updated with tomorrow's scan.

I've had a weird cycle 4 days early light flow but BFN today.

This all really sucks doesn't it!!!

@MrsH497 such a pain! It's so hard when anything gets your hopes up and then dashes them.

I'm hearing about so many lovely, deserving people who are pregnant and I'm finding myself asking why not me, which I know isn't how this stuff works!

@ValidUser our friends had their baby boy (Leo) last weekend of course I'm so happy for them but I ache for it to be us.
Oh yeah I had that glimmer of hope but no luck this month. Think we are going to have a weekend away get SMEP going and enjoy just being hubby and wifey xx

@MrsH497 sorry your weirdAF was that and not a sign

Hey @ValidUser nice to hear from you again, hope you're ok, were all here and ready to listen if you need our support.

Af due Sunday. Did an IC on weds (why?!?!) And it was bfn. It wouldn't have shown anyway. I'm out for drinks tomorrow, not testing again either so it's just a wait and see and avoid the tequilas!

Nearly the weekend, hooooorah

So sorry to hear that, @MrsH497. Your weekend away just for you two to enjoy yourselves sounds like a brilliant idea; where do you fancy going?

@ValidUser - it’s lovely to hear from you, but so sorry you’re having a bad time. I know there’s not a lot I can say, but just know I’m thinking of you x

@ELW85 so we've got a weekend away end of this month back to our wedding venue (free overnight stay!!) then end of next month I'm thinking somewhere sunny I still feel cheated out of our Florida holiday!! Majorca/canaries/Greece 3/4 nights. Anyone got any recommendations?
