[MrsH497]

Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

If I've missed anyone sorry!

Thank you so much @Lozzlepop means so much to me. Sending you a hug xx

@lozzlepop I bet, it's ok to be sad. Lots of self care and chocolate for you. I think I'll struggle when our 12 week scan should have been, especially if we're not pregnant by then.

How are you feeling @MrsH497 ?

@lozzlepop sending love ❤

We dont have much plans this weekend, some relaxing and house cleaning haha

@Lemonysherbet honestly other than completely exhausted (which my mum has to point out I looked tired today!) and still have the funny taste in my mouth I feel fine. Really trying to remain positive which is hard.
Because I hadn't expected the digital to come up I'd ordered some more frer which arrived today had a sneaky pee and lovely dark line 😍

@Lozzlepop sorry to hear that hun 😓 sending you big hugs 🤗 personally have to drive all the way to the sea side for a short lived weekend get away with my OH and parents 😅

@MrsH497 I can't help but wonder though despite feeling tired and that awful taste you have is it like a satisfied unwell feeling? Don't know if that makes sense but like I'm a bizarre way I'm looking forward to all those symptoms Cos then I'll know I'm growing a fab little human inside me 😆 or maybe that's just my weird brain?

@Lozzlepop Sorry to hear you're feeling down, totally understandable, we need to allow ourselves to grieve and the grieving process is different for everyone. Be kind to yourself, don't feel pressured to put on a smile when you instead want to hide away for a bit, do whatever you need to do hon 💜

I'm up super early and heading to the gym, partner and I are now in competition to see who can reduce our body fat % the quickest 💪🏼 or maybe it's just a way to keep my mind occupied during this TWW!

@Kiza totally!! I will take every and any symptom or feeling for this little one to stick and be healthy. The tiredness is hilarious I was asleep by 7again last night! The only thing is bloating I wear uniform and my trousers are digging in and rubbing already so I've got to see how long I can get away with wearing them!

@MrsH497 oh my gosh sometimes the bloating is horrendous! Even at 4 weeks you can look heavily pregnant and it seems to worsen as the days go on!!! Maybe start saying you have IBS to keep questions at bay, sending tons of sticky baby dust your way x

@kiza how many dpo are you today?

I am 6dpo and no symptoms. Had dome cramps yesterday at 5dpo but i cant remember if thats what normally happens in my usual cycles or not haha

@Anny27 it's so funny how before we were all TTC we never took notice of all the little weird pre menstrual symptoms now we're there overthinking everything! 😆
I'm 10DPO and currently running on 3 apps all saying AF is due on different days... but I think that's due to a years worth of irregular cycles and it's only been the last 4 cycles that have been 28 days...

@MotherOfShihTzus glad you're getting sorted!

I'm on cycle 15. Had surgery, hormones and all sorts done at this stage. 2 chemical pregnancies.

Next time I get a BFP, going on progesterone.

Nothing exciting to report from my end - I’m on CD6 and each period is more soul destroying. I’m using 3 different apps and each one tells me a different Ovulation date but we’ll see

Hey all,

Feels quiet on here today! @redmarchingband cycle buddy, im 6 days Po too and symptom spotting even though I said I wouldn't. I've had weird pains down below, not sure what's going on. After the MC last month I feel like I'll have a better idea of what to expect if we manage to fall pregnant this month but only at the later stages, I wish I had logged more symptoms before but pretty sure it was really similar to the standard cramps randomly hitting. I do feel really tired but I sometimes get this anyway.

Wouldn't it be great if you had symptoms that were nothing like af so you could tell 😂 for me it was all about the boobs and how painful they were, I never get them that bad with af!

Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing weekend!

@lemonysherbet i am 6dpo as well! Planning on testing on the 22nd when AF is due.

I had cramps yesterday but nothing else out of the ordinary.

Totally wish that symptons were totally different to AF haha!

Oh yay @anny27 another cycle buddy :)

I go on holiday 22nd the day af is due 🤦‍♀️ and I'm not going to test before I go!!! (I say that now, I have all the intentions. I also have no tests in the house)

I'm CD 27 today, AF due to arrive tomorrow. I took some tests last Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday but they were all BFN, although possibly too early. So today / tomorrow I will just be waiting for any signs.
Am away this weekend and tomorrow not back until lunch time so if I test tomorrow, it won't be with FMU but if AF not here by then I think I still will just to see if there's any squinters 🤞

Fingers crossed for you @absa

Are you having any symptoms?

7dpo today so only 1 week away from testing for me 🤞 i have followed your advice @lemonysherbet and havent got any tests in the house apart from a clearblue digital anf theres no way i am wasting that on early testing haha

@Anny27
I thought I was having symptoms Monday to Friday last week - what felt like REALLY intense O pain my lower left side. But that has now gone away and nothing at all the last few days. So I really don't know because that could have been AF getting ready.

@absa its all an unknown isnt it 😂

Still a week until AF and I just burst into tears over nothing... Poor DH 😂

I see a lot of people recommending books eg. Taking charge of your fertility etc - are they worth reading or not?

@Lemonysherbet same!!!! Usually i am like this a day before AF but today i have cried a few times and i feel very moody haha. Not saying its a symptom or not as i am usually one to cry at soppy adverts and such but this seems more than usual

@redmarchingband i have heard of it but havent read it so cant recommend. Let us know if you get it :)

@anny27 maybe there's something in the air 😂 I'm in a crap mood now

Hows everyone feeling today?

8dpo today, no real symptoms apart from cramping a few days ago and slightly sore boobs (but thats kinda normal for me before AF) so not sure what to think

AF due today and had a temp dip this morning so fully expecting it. BFNs over the weekend and felt super low. However, I'm heading for my first acupuncture session tonight; anyone tried this?

How was everyone's weekend?
