10 DPO, whoes with me?

[jadelouiselaird]

Hey everyone anyone else at 10dpo

Do you have any symptoms and when will you test?

Baby dust

Oh that's disappointing :( are you due today? I'm feeling much brighter thank you yes home today :) @Gigi318 xx

@mrssunshinexxx no due tomorrow or Monday so 🤞🏻 and this spotting is not common for me. So excited to see what happens with it. Yay, I am so glad he will be home. I hope you have a lovely evening planned together 👏🏻😍

Well, I feel really down in the dumps today. Another day of light, but dark spotting. It's old blood. I think it'll be due to having cervical ectropion. My PCOS gives me very light periods but they are long (unusual but a thing). Reckon after that is done my period will arrive. I feel utterly miserable.

It's my birthday tomorrow and I'll be 34. Had a lovely weekend visiting friends who all have children and my gorgeous godchildren. (I have 5) but I can't help but evaluate what I have achieved in the last year, and the answer is, other than work and hard toil... not a lot. I'm having a red wine and a cry later in the bath. Blooming hormones

@Mycrazylife85 oh lovely lady, please don't be sad! I'm assuming that, because you're TTC, you have a loving OH or DH and you sound like a lovely person. Those two things alone are fantastic achievements. It's easy to compare your situation and fixate on what you don't have. But it sounds like you have lovely friends, and if you have a supportive family and a home, chick you are K-I-L-L-I-N-G it. But go ahead and have that cry. Let it all out. It's good to deal with these hormonal moments as you'll feel better. And you can do this 👏🏻👌🏻 when is AF due? Your little bean will be with you, it will!

@Gigi318 that is the most wonderful thing for me to read. I can't tell you how lovely and appreciated it was, and really what I needed to put things back into perspective. You are absolutely right. It made me cry. But thank you. And thank you for taking the time to write such a supportive response. 💓
I've never had anyone talk about me ever potentially being a mother one day so that was especially lovely.

AF is due Tuesday, if she's not arrived before. Still, I can have a wine tonight I guess. Thank you so much again for your kind words. Wishing the very best to you soon and all the other lovely ladies here, x

@Mycrazylife85 oh bless you, it's all just the truth. Sometimes we can just get consumed by emotions and think, think, think. But you just need to breathe and remember all of the wonderful things you already have, and what a beautiful little bubba would have when it arrives. It's such a hard situation when you're up and down and getting frustrated, but you can do this. Sometimes a little positivity can really turn things around for you.
You're more than welcome, nobody should ever feel like that and sometimes it's just about flipping your perspective over and realise it's the emotions taking over (and this is coming from a once slave to her emotions woman and deeply unhappy and bitter because of it!)
Absolutely have that wine. I did 2 weeks ago (just after OD) and it felt okay to do that. Last wine and hopefully shall stay that way for 8 more months 🤣🤞🏻I hope AF stays away for you. These emotions sound like a good sign!!
AF due today-tomorrow for me, but let's hope she stays away until summer 2020 hey 🥰💫

@Gigi318 when are you testing I'm far too invested I needed a focus and it's you 😃😂 x

@mrssunshinexxx oh my lord, the pressure 🤣 I hope I don't let you down 🙊😘hehehehe. Tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 and I'm feeling hopeful! I survived another night with no sign of AF. No cramps at the moment and I think the spotting has eased off 🙌🏻 this morning I just feel incredibly hot. Like
Overheating hot. No headaches today 🙌🏻 no nausea (yet). Although the smell of coffee did make me go 😟😖🥴 lols!!! Boobs still feel full but not painful! So fingers crossed!!!!!

@mrssunshinexxx also, how was the weekend with OH? I hope he is home for a while now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Oh how exciting @Gigi318 good luck yes he's home every night this week and I'm due to ovulate on Sunday 🥳

@mrssunshinexxx woohoo this sounds like some perfect timing to me 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 thank you. I shall keep you updated!!!

@Gigi318 bloody hope so can't take much more of feeling like I did last week POSITIVE THOUGHTS X

@mrssunshinexxx absolutely. So pleased you have a whole week together and it's perfect timing to get busy too. Absolutely. I'm feeling positive today and also nausea is back with a vengeance. I am sat with a box of crackers next to me 🙈

@Mycrazylife85 I hope you're feeling better today, chick 💫

@Carolba how are you xx

Thank you @Gigi318 I am today. Thank you for asking. Have you had your BFP? (Sorry I couldn't find it but from what I've read it sounds so promising for you if not) wishing you the best! x

@Gigi318 @mrssunshinexxx Hi Lovely ladies ....... so sorry I have been AWOL :( When AF came I felt gutted and was due to give up but I kept myself really busy and kept myself off of the laptop and feel a lot more positive now. How are you all doing? Gigi have you tested? Do you still have all of your symptoms? And Sunshine, I have read your OH is home :) eeeekkkk will be amazing having him with you this week, and at the right cycle time too!

Ovulation is due next Tuesday for me if my apps are right but I have started OPK this morning so I don't get caught out like I did the other month. Oh the fun and games of TTC are starting!!! xx

Morning ladies!!! Sadly AF arrived overnight 💔

@Mycrazylife85 thank you so much, but sadly not. It's okay though, I'm feeling positive for cycle two! What cycle are you on chick? I'm only a few days behind you, so we're in it together for this lucky month. Relax and stay positive, it will happen!

@Carolba I'm glad you're feeling positive my lovely, and I'm back in the boat with you this month so we have got this 🙌🏻 you're in the exciting part now where you can actually do something yay. Although I must say, I'm happy to be on so I can relax mentally and physically now. Reenergise ready to get started next week. Hurrah!

@mrssunshinexxx hope you're having a wonderful week chick!

Awww hun @Gigi318 I am so sorry! I really thought this was your month :( ..... It is crazy isn't it. I had done everything spot on last month, couldn't have done anything more, even had symptoms and for a few days I definitely thought I was pregnant but our bodies do like to play tricks with us! It took me a few days to come round after the disappointment this month :( I know what you mean though about now being able to relax for a few days. Enjoy it, it will do you the world of good :) I have planned my attack for this month lol and if it doesn't work then I am going to delete my apps next month and just go with it - no tracking, no obsessing just BD every other day for the month, but hopefully non of us will have to look past this next cycle - positive thoughts, lots of support and this next month will be super special for all of us :) ....... (and June is a wonderful time to have a new arrival !! :) ) xx

Gutted to hear that for you @Gigi318 you've been such a great support to everyone on this thread so I know we will all have our fingers and toes crossed for you on your next cycle for a BFP! I do recommend the clear blue ovulation kit as if anything it showed me that my peak was at least two days after I thought ovulation day occurred so was perhaps missing it before I used the kit. Just an idea! Xx

@Carolba thank you so much chick, I am feeling good today and excited for the month ahead. Now if only this horrendous pain will subside a bit 🤣🙈 I'm glad you're feeling better too. Because positivity puts you in the beat possible place to make things happen 💖 that sounds amazing, I feel like you've got the best attitude right there. I plan to just go with it, enjoy it, aim for every other day or so, and then in a months time see where I'm at. I don't even want to think about dates and times etc 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

@helpasisterout thank you so much chick, what an amazing thing to hear. I just believe that spreading as much cheer as possible will mean that someone feels happier as a result, and I love to feel uplifted too. Ladies, we've got this. This is our month 🤞🏻💫 I think I may consider them in the future, but plan to keep things calm, relaxed, and natural this month as I don't think I really approached last month with much knowledge. Although I do think I may have ovulated 3 days later than I think as I got some extra EW two weeks ago today, and low and behold AF came 14 days later. So lots of DTD all through the month for me I think. At least it will mean I am very relaxed, satisfied, and glowy through October 🤣 which is fantastic as I'm sure the weather would usually mean my skin dries out 🙊🙊🙊#silverlinings

@helpasisterout I have invested in the clearblue advanced this month ...... I was never really confident in the cheap ones so hopefully this one will be more reassuring. We are also trying preseed this month and cod liver oil tablets (although they might not help until next month) we have even booked a spa weekend for the weekend in the middle of the TWW so I can relax and take my mind off of it....... (an expensive month lol but it will be so worth it if it helps :) ....... Has anyone else got any more tips/tricks they are thinking of trying this month? xx

@Carolba my partner works irregular and long hours so was good to know especially the peak days so it worked for me this time anyway! Expensive month indeed but the spa break will be lovely and important to be good to yourself in these times 🥰

@Gigi318 gutted to hear that but glad you aren't taking it too badly didn't realised this was your first month ttc?

Your time will come x

@Carolba I know exactly how you feel I was so so down last week but feeling better now Staying off mumsnet more than usua which is helping but nice to check in when I feel like it xx

@Carolba that's such a good plan lovely, we too are doing a spa break and it should coincide with the TWW too. Hurrah. Just what you need. Amazing. I'm thinking of getting preseed too, as I don't want to use one that just ruins everything 🤣 but sometimes a girl needs a little help 🙊

@mrssunshinexxx yes, first 'official' I guess. Or first one where I actually let him near me during the fertile window 🤣🙈 I think this month will be a little more organised and intention. It will, I am excited for it now 🙌🏻
