Hi fellow ttc-ers.

I’m 9dpo on cycle 8 of ttc baby #2.

No real symptoms at all. A few cramps, I’m hungry and generally I’m just in an absolutely foul mood.

Anyone want to join me on route to test day at the end of the week?

life there’s no denying those lines you lucky lady! Absolutely fab news. Hopefully you’ll get the ball rolling on this thread.

may I demand you get your bottom out of bed and poas! If it’s negative the wait will be over Ann see can handhold through af.

I’m a bit more gutted today. Full on af. But heyho. Nowt else I can do. I’m literally doing everything I can to conceive. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Chefwifelife
Thank you . You've made me feel more confident x I feel so blessed

@May2311

I had cramps last night so thought oh here comes AF
Symptoms wise I've been a right moody cow. I've been irritable and snappy lol -feel so sorry for others around me
And I've had some slight nausea but nothing much plus I've had heartburn quite a bit. I suffer with my stomach problems though so I thought it might of been linked to that x

I'm still scared to go toilet though and see AF x
I'm not sure what day I ovulated as the predictions my app gave me we DTD every day in that window but the cheap ovulation strips were negative . Then I randomly did a strip a week later and it was positive so we DTD then too x

Morning ladies!!!

@Chefwifelife sorry to hear you are out, hope you had some wine last night 😉

@Lifesforlivingandloving congratulations such lovely news!!!!!

@May2311 TEST!!!

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:32

@sidewaysS

Thank you so much x 😘

sofiathe2nd · 24/08/2019 08:48

@Lifesforlivingandloving yay massive congratulations, such a clear BFP Smile

Still waiting for AF to show buy almost no doubt she will now, just want to get on with it and get back to trying this month

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:49

@sofiathe2nd
Thank you so much

When is AF due? X

May2311 · 24/08/2019 08:52

So I totally know how silly I am being but I’m not testing today. My rationale is this.....

Shorter LP and I’m thinking the awful pains I had Thursday night perhaps were implantation( this is me hoping) so hcg levels won’t be that high yet.

I am getting what i would say is AF cramps!

Hubby made a valid point- if it’s negative will that stop you fretting? and it’s a no as really until AF comes I won’t stop fretting.

So we decided to test tomorrow if no AF!

@Chefwifelife Lots of wine is needed!!

@sidewaysS how are you?

@Lifesforlivingandloving so I haven’t been moody at all!! But then I’ve got a long weekend off work so perhaps that’s it🙈

I will let you all know how I get on today/tomorrow. I just don’t dare hope that this is it😬

Lifesforlivingandloving · 24/08/2019 08:58

@May2311
Your not being silly at all x your listening to your gut feeling and that's the right thing to do x
Like you say if it's a BFN then you'll be disappointed but it could be in fact like you said too early to detect a positive so your doing the right thing by holding out another day x
Please let us know. ! X

May2311 · 24/08/2019 09:12

@Lifesforlivingandloving thanks 😊 Defo will let you know! At least we have a nice sunny day today to keep us occupied!

sidewaysS · 24/08/2019 09:20

@May2311 I get that hun, do what's right for you, hope you have something nice to do to day and keep your mind off things!

I'm doing ok thanks, still no AF, but not due till Monday, boobs are still huge and no other af signs, I just feel anxious because I had a previous chemical and I feel the same as I did before I found out about that and I'm just scared to be honest! Will test tommorow or Monday x

May2311 · 24/08/2019 14:49

@sidewaysS you are bound to feel nervous. Just need to stay positive. All good signs!

Well I’ve had terrible cramps all day and PMS - was v emotional earlier because I had to drop hubby off at the footy ( even though I do this every week😂) bless him- very apologetic. At least he knows he has to stay on my good side when I’m in that mood😂

It’s frustrating that AF isn’t here. I’m just sick of waiting now. I know what’s going to happen... no AF still in the morning, I’ll test and BFN and then AF will turn up😡

May2311 · 25/08/2019 06:57

Morning everyone

AF still hasn’t arrived. Tested this morning and it was BFN. Haven’t a clue why I’m late as that’s unusual for me.

I actually feel ok about it as I think I already knew I wasn’t pregnant. I just want AF to arrive now so we can crack on for next month.

How’s everyone else doing? Xxx

sofiathe2nd · 25/08/2019 10:12

Still no AF here either but been cramping all week so know she’s coming :( can’t bring myself to test, this 2 weeks has felt like forever! xx

Chefwifelife · 26/08/2019 07:21

Morning ladies. Has anyone tested this morning? 🤞🏻

OP posts:
May2311 · 26/08/2019 10:27

@Chefwifelife morning😊 Nope I have accepted the BFN but still waiting for AF🙈 why our bodies decide to muck up as we start TTC! Just trying to stay chilled and AF will come when it wants to! I literally have no cramps or anything so don’t expect it anytime soon. So strange as back end of last week I was sure it was on the way!

How are you doing?

@sofiathe2nd when are you testing?

@sidewaysS how are you getting on? Has AF turned or have you tested?

Happy bank holiday ladies 😊 Let’s enjoy this sun! Xx

sofiathe2nd · 26/08/2019 10:48

Think I’ll test tomorrow if AF doesn’t show... not feeling positive though

sofiathe2nd · 26/08/2019 16:25

So, just tested and got a strong second line on a FRER... but think I need to do another test (or three) to believe it. Also can’t post photos as I’ve been here less than a month so can’t get your opinions!!

Lifesforlivingandloving · 26/08/2019 16:30

@sofiathe2nd
Awwww yay! So happy for you !!!!
I'm the same x done two tests and still don't believe it!
How long have you been trying ?
When was your last period ?

Xxx

Chefwifelife · 26/08/2019 17:41

Yay sofia that’s amazing news. This is turning into a lucky thread. I’m keeping this thread alive until my bfp lol 😆

sofiathe2nd · 26/08/2019 18:22

@Lifesforlivingandloving this was our first month of trying so super shocked! Dh is in denial... thinks he’s been denied months of trying!

Last af was 29th July so due date the first week of may I think?! When was yours?

@chefwifelife definitely sticking to this thread until we’ve all got our BFPs Smile

Lifesforlivingandloving · 26/08/2019 18:35

@sofiathe2nd
Haha. I've been off the pill since end of April but this was the first month I actually used apps to see most fertile days etc x

My last period was 26th July. So literally days between us! x

Yes it's a lucky thread and I hope so so much you all get your BFP very soon! 🙏 xxx
