Happy Sunday, ladies. How are we??

@claireb707 woohoo so excited for you. When is AF due?? When will you test??

@Hewie30 how is your weekend going babe? Hope you can distract yourself now that you're in the TWW 💖💙

@Katie1109 how are you feeling today chick?

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend 🥂

claireb707 · 20/10/2019 07:53

Due around 8th November so will probably test that week unless anything obvious occurs earlier.
We're going to see gerry cinnamon in Leeds on 8th and staying over so would be good to know either way so I could have a drink 😂

Trying to work out if we have another month of trying this year or not. Trying to decide how much notice we would need to give the cruise to cancel. I'd be due on 1st week of December and we go on 22nd.

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 07:58

@claireb707 yes that's a good idea, so you know either way. That's a long LP - like 20 days! Do you usually have that?? Maybe you'd be due the weekend before? Hmm yes it would be good to know. Would you not go if very early PG? Xx

claireb707 · 20/10/2019 08:04

I seem to ovulate around day 12, period is around day 30-32 but it may change as body settles down after pill still

Definitely wouldn't go on cruise if pregnant due to zika risk. So need to know in plenty of time whether to cancel. If not pregnant then we go and have to wait at least a month after returning before we can try again

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 08:17

@claireb707 oh absolutely! So maybe you will come on earlier this cycle, if not PG. if you get any twinges or symptoms in like a weeks time, I say test like the 3rd 😁 I'm just to excited for everyone!! It really sounds like you've covered it this time.
And yes it would be worth missing the cruise if PG and you could book a babymoon somewhere lovely instead 💖💙

Lizziedu49 · 20/10/2019 10:06

Ladies I have freaked myself out. AF not due until tomorrow but because 2 FRERs have come up negative I'm thinking what if it's the big C... in September last year I had grade III abnormal cells removed from my cervix but what if they didn't get it all and that's what I'm experiencing 😭😭😭 if AF is not here by weds and tests are still negative I'm booking an appointment with the GP...

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 10:35

@gigi318 Morning babe! It's actually going okay so far which is good 😂, I've been keeping myself busy. How you feeling this morning? I've not got any symptoms at the moment to report

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 11:00

@Hewie30 that's good. How many DPO are you now?? Too early for symptoms I think, isn't it. I'm feeling really rubbish to be honest. Feel off and emotional and as if AF is going to hit 😞💔

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 12:18

@gigi318 I'm only 3dpo so yeah far too early for any symptoms! Awh babe why do you feel emotional? Try remain positive ❤️. The hormonal change from being pregnant can make you emotional annnnd you have had what could be implantation 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞. I totally think this is your month

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 12:53

@Hewie30 eeeek 3DPO exciting. This time in two weeks you would have tested 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I'm trying, but I've had more spotting. Not loads but it's darker this morning after it was virtually gone yesterday and just making me think it's AF. I don't have any cramps or anything, but just struggling to feel positive 😞💔 hopefully it's just PG spotting, just in my gut think it's AF and it's gutting!

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 13:15

@gigi318 Your not due until Wednesday though are you? So you'd be coming on pretty early if it is AF. What colour is the bleeding now? As long as it's not bright red your still in ❤️. Although some ladies do have bleeding and still be pregnant 😘

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 13:40

@Hewie30 that's right, due Wednesday according to flo, earliest would be Tuesday I think. I'm very rarely early, usually late if anything but I can't help worry. I just checked, still brown. Getting pulling twinges/cramps now and an achey lower back. 😩💔 I should have tested today and I would know. If there's no AF by the morning I might test to put my mind at ease. I just want to know either way now. This is torture!!

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 13:46

@gigi318 What dpo are you today? That's so positive that it's still brown though babe!! 😍. Awh bless you! This is by far the hardest part of the cycle!! It's an emotional rollercoaster 😒. The lower back and the twinges could be either hun honestly, im 3dpo and I'm having both of those today too 😊

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 13:52

@Hewie30 I'm 12DPO today. Yes, you're so right. I'd usually be so positive, you know me 🥰 but I just feel it in my bones that this is AF. I may be wrong but we shall see.
Frustratingly, I have a strong metallic taste in my mouth and it's constantly watering. I don't know if my body is playing tricks on me or what.
Hopefully you're right and it's just more old blood from implantation! It's darker brown so it could be 🤷‍♀️ time will tell I guess.
Exciting! I swear we have these twinges all month long, just never realised until we were TTC 🙈🙊 thank you for talking me off of the ledge 😘

Makeafamily19 · 20/10/2019 15:59

@Gigi318 isn't metallic taste a PG symptom?! Stay positive hun you are still in the game! It's so tough the week before AF/BFP, I want to just know if it's worked straight away! Remember even if this isn't your cycle (and it most definitely still could be!), you are only cycle 2 and you will get your little bubba soon I just know it! Keep the hope alive! 💖

@Lizziedu49 what makes you think that it could be cancer related sweetie apart from the abnormal cells last year? What symptoms have you got? I'm sure it's not, we just focus so much when TTC that we pinpoint every tiny twinge/ feeling. Most definitely get checked though just to put your mind at ease.

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 16:02

@Makeafamily19 I did wonder that. It's the oddest thing, started yesterday! I'm trying. CM is still mid brown and light. Like a little line every few hours! I'm not feeling like AF is coming on overly. The odd twinge/ache but nothing too intense. I just need to calm down 🙈🙈 I am much calmer than earlier. I can get quite dramatic whoops!
Absolutely, it will happen 💖💖💖 thank you babe! How are you?? How is your Sunday going?? Xx

Makeafamily19 · 20/10/2019 16:11

@Gigi318 yes I'm sure I've read that a metallic taste is an early symptom! Eeeek I'm excited for you now! Only a couple of days for you to go now!
I'm good, had a lovely meal out with DH's family last night, then DTD when we got home as got my peak static smiley on CB yesterday afternoon! Then DTD again this morning 😂 had some ovulation twinges earlier so think I'm ovulating today. So hopefully we have it covered 🤞🏼
Caught up with some friends today to plan a surprise birthday trip for another friend and then did some shopping.
How has your nice chilled weekend been?

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 16:44

@gigi318 Always babe 😘. You can test tomorrow if you wanted too that would be completely reasonable. Hopefully it is just the end of implantation bleeding, it can sometimes last a few days apprently 🤷. Remain positive hun you've completely got this ❤️. I've got a high opk again so I'm hoping I'm not going to get two peaks again 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 17:59

@Makeafamily19 awww I hope so. It's been the oddest taste for about a day now. And I can't say I ever usually have odd tastes in my mouth 🤣🙈 yesss, I was just so worried about this bleeding but hopefully it will all be okay. Silly brown CM worrying me!
That's so lovely and yay to the static. How exciting! You've definitely covered it two days in a row. Hurrah! So is today 1DPO or tomorrow would you say??
Awww that's so lovely. What a nice weekend you've had! It has been lovely, yes!! We've been in most of the weekend and just relaxing and it's been just what I needed. Very slow, which I don't usually get to have 💖

@Hewie30 hopefully! Another lady said to me she has lots of heavy ready bleeding during her last PG and they put it down to IB and so I'm trying to take comfort in that. We shall see in just 12 hours time. So far, I feel much calmer than I did last month. We just have to hope that AF stays away. I don't feel like it's coming on - no real cramping or anything. So I hope that's a god thing 💖
Oh nooooo!! I hope not too. But do you think you can cover it, just in case?? What OPKs are you using?? Xx

Makeafamily19 · 20/10/2019 18:07

@Gigi318 sometimes you just need a weekend in to rest, glad you've had a good one.
Tomorrow should be 1DPO but I'll see if I get a temp spike in the morning to be sure! AF due 4th November so fingers crossed I can celebrate a BFP with some BF fireworks! 💥💥💥

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 18:10

@gigi318 Yeah for some people it's completely normal to have that, I'm glad it's put your mind more at ease ❤️. It really could be your month especially with the matalic taste too I've heard that's a early pregnancy symptom too!! The good thing is your calmer then last month, you've only got a few days to go and then you'll have more of an idea!
Ugh I'm hoping not!!! Premom rated it as 0.50 so not too high but now I'm concerned it's going to peak late again like last month. Well if I peak tomorrow or Tuesday I can definitely use our anniversary as a time for dtd I'm hoping it won't go back up but going to keep an eye on it

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 18:27

@Makeafamily19 absolutely, especially after a few busy weekends it was well needed. Oh my goodness that would be great. Will you test on the 4th or earlier? I'm so excited for you 🥂

@Hewie30 exactly, I'm just trying to stay positive. Hopefully AF will stay away. Not long to wait! I hope so, I can't say I've ever noticed it before. We shall see before long! Yes, I'm not as terrified as I was last month. I guess because I know I just have to POAS at some point.
That's so exciting. Do you have any plans for your anniversary yet?? Yes definitely keep an eye as it will put your mind at rest 💖

Hewie30 · 20/10/2019 18:59

@gigi318 That's good I'm glad your more at ease. Eeeek we shall!! I feel so positive for you. I'll carry the positivity for you 😊.
We're going out for dinner on Wednesday and that'll probably be it, we don't tend to get eachother pressies but we do get cards. I will do, hopefully it'll go back down!

Gigi318 · 20/10/2019 19:23

@Hewie30 thank youuuuu! There's much less there again this evening. Barely noticeable so I've ditched the pad and knickers. I'm done with being uncomfortable and need my pyjamas 🤣🙈
Thank you so much! I hope so. I'm actually excited to do it now. Roll on the morning!
That sounds perfect, what a lovely thing to look forward to! We're the same - otherwise we run out of idea for Christmas and Birthdays. Which I'm sure you get with your Birthday being just over a week ago!! Fingers crossed 💖💖💖

Makeafamily19 · 20/10/2019 20:04

@Gigi318 depends if I get my usual pre AF brown spotting I think. I'm going to a funeral on the 4th as well so not sure. Might test on the 3rd if no spotting! I've been taking vitamin b complex to try and stop the spotting so that may give me false hope if it works!
