@Raizelrea sorry to hear you're still not feeling right. Hope it shifts soon for you! It is so crazy how the body does this to us!!! But it's the weekend now so woohoo!

@Katie1109 yayy, it's like you fast-tracked to this point even though the uncertainty was annoying. Hurrah. Happy weekend for you then 🤞🏻💫 I do think my bleeding has stopped now so that's good. Although shortest period ever!

@Hewie30 eeeek so do you think you may test in the morning? This is exciting but oh no - hope it's not a UTI. Not fun! How are you feeling today? Any AF cramps or anything? Yes excited to get practising. I'm a while away though yet as FW is like the 6th-8th. Annoying to have a short period for that reason 🙄 Haha yes test! Katie is right you're more prone to UTIs when PG!!

@flossy12 sorry to hear you're still sicky chick. But so excited for tomorrow xx

[Hewie30]

@gigi318 Ahhh yeah short periods definatly have their pro and cons! I think though no matter when you stop or when your fertile period is it'll always seem like a long wait because we're all counting down until that time and all want that positive so badly 😊. It's only just over a week think of it that way 💓.
Yeah I'm hoping it's not! Yesterday it was when I was peeing but today it's just after so hopefully it'll go! I'm going to try and hold out testing for as long as I can. I want to try and wait until Sunday/Monday 🤞. Ahhhh don't guys!! 😂😂

[Gigi318]

@Hewie30 absolutely and I don't think I've ever had one this short. What is going on with my body! Yes we are literally just always waiting for something - so, right, that's my incentive to just start enjoying each day again and seeing what happens 🙌🏻
That's good. Hopefully it's just a blip as a UTI may be a tad annoying. 🙈 but it could also be a positive thing. Eekkk I can keep you sane until Sunday or Monday - you know my thoughts on testing early! Xx

[flossy12]

@Raizelrea yeah it's a private scan ☺️☺️

[Raizelrea]

@Hewie30 Thank you, definitely glad to see the weekend! Sorry to hear about the potential UTI, make sure to stay hydrated! Slightly worried to see the ladies say they'rw more common in pregnancy as I already get them all the time - just getting over cystitis at the minute (at least it waited till ovulation haha)

@flossy12 Nice, if I get pregnant I'll definitely have at least one private one too - there's so few on the NHS!

@Gigi318 How are you today? Hopefully your AF has finished now, when is your fertile window this cycle?

[Gigi318]

@Raizelrea I'm well today chick, just a bit tired. I think it would be 6th-8th unless I'm meant to count spotting as start of AF then it's 2nd-4th so planning to cover it all just in case 🤣 hard to know!
Oh no, sorry to hear about cystitis and UTIs. It's all the DTD 🙊🙈 yes bleeding stopped today completely, so it lasted three days which is odd! But there we are!
How are you doing?

[flossy12]

@Raizelrea yeah, 12 weeks is such a long wait when you find out as early as us girls 😆 I found out at 4+2 so feels like forever

[Raizelrea]

@Gigi318 I'm not too bad, also tired but like you said it's the weekend now! That is a very short period, but who would complain haha! Sounds like you'll have a busy week next week 😁 I will try my best not to symptom spot in the meantime haha - almost halfway through the TWW now!

@flossy12 Yeah definitely! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

[Gigi318]

@Raizelrea exactly, but I'm already excited to get some sleep 🙈 yes a short period was good. Hurrah! Hahaha yes and the week after. I just want to be sure. Hopefully OH won't be annoyed as he will know my agenda 🤣🙈
That's so good, not much longer to wait now. Will you test next weekend? It feels like it's come around quickly!

[Makeafamily19]

@Gigi318 you should count CD1 as first day you have bright red blood. I always have spotting before too so I looked into it.

I'm CD11 and had my peak CD10/11 last few cycles but nothing yesterday or today so getting inpatient now lol. Fingers crossed it's tomorrow. Even did an OPK at work in the toilets for first time haha. Who else works in a hospital? Think there's a few of you?

Is anyone temping? It's driving me crazy, I keep waking up in the night thinking I need to do it 🤣😫 I'm only doing it as I want to know if I am definitely ovulating.

[Hewie30]

@gigi318 It's amazing that our body changes so much! Exactly yeah, that sounds like a really good plan. Hopefully the more relaxed you are the less hopefully you'll think about everything. I hope so! I didn't have chance to test my urine but oh has got me some cranberry juice and cystitis stuff incase it's that. Aaaah yes please do!!!! It's odd sometimes I think I'm coming on and the next I don't feel I will do xx


@Raizelrea Thanks hun, oh has got me some cranberry and some cystitis stuff just incase it's that too. I didn't have chance to check at work. Awh don't be hun! Everyone's symptoms for pregnancy are completely different so yours could be different 😊

[Gigi318]

@Makeafamily19 thank you chick, this is what I usually do, but then the apps say count spotting so I was getting confused. Will cover myself to be sure. Hope you are DTD just in case 🙊
I'm not doing BBT as I don't always wake up at the same time so I don't want to get it wrong. I also don't want to add another thought to my mind 🤣 I feel like this borderline consumes me already 🙈

@Hewie30 oh that's so good of him, so either way you should feel better soon. So glad AF has stayed away so far eeeekkk. Amazing to know you're still in the game. I'm so excited for Sunday or Monday now!!! I am living vicariously through you! Do you feel any different, or just normal? I have to say, no symptoms spotting and analysing my body these past few days has been amazing. I think I will try to avoid it in the next TWW! Xx

[Raizelrea]

@Gigi318 Yeah next weekend I think, don't think I'd manage to wait any longer! Only a week to go haha!

@Hewie30 That's nice of your OH! How are you feeling today? Hope AF is still at bay!

[Hewie30]

@Gigi318 He's a good egg bless him 💓. No sign of AF! Can periods stay away if you got an infection? 😂. Ahhh don't I'm hoping it won't come! Would be amazing to get a positive after waiting this long but I'm trying to remain realistic too. This time next week your fertile time will nearly be starting 😍😍. I actually feel normal, just really tired! I got heaviness on my stomach but I think that's the infection 😂. The sore nipples are no way as bad now


@Raizelrea Yeah he's a good egg bless him 😊. Nope no sign of AF just yet! Cd42 now. So if I ovulated when I thought I did I would be due on today if my luteal phase is 14 days

[Gigi318]

@Raizelrea eeeek that's not too long to wait, yay. It gives us all something to look forward to now!! Not that I encourage it (after last month 🤣) but are you noticing any symptoms?

@Hewie30 yayyy for no AF. No, I don't think so. I think they are only delayed if OD was later as usually 14 days after OD! But stress or anything can delay OD I think? Not an expert but 🤷‍♀️🤣
I know, I'm so excited. Going to still DTD before and after as the spotting started last Friday and I have no idea if that means I will O earlier than I think? So I'm not going to think too much about it and will just see how it all goes. The constant worrying about it is starting to drive me mad 🙈🙊
Eeek hope the infection is clearing up. Eeekkk so hard not to look into it hey! Soooo are you going to test tomorrow as that could then be one day late?

@flossy12 good luck for the scan chick, so excited for you. Let us know how you get on 💖

[Nicecupofcoco]

Hi guys, finally found the new thread! 😂
Good luck with the scan today @flossy12 what time do you go? We'll all be thinking of you! sickness although a pain is a very good sign.

[Raizelrea]

@Gigi318 Haha I know what you mean. I've ben getting waves of nausea (especially in the car, like motion sickness, but sometimes just randomly in the evening while not doing anything) - but I had that last cycle so I think it's not out of ordinary for me (though I never noticed till TTC haha). Other than that not really, just generally really tired but that could be for a number of reasons. Also having to wee all the time but honestly that's pretty normal for me as well. So on the whole I guess no symptoms? 😆 How are you, has all the DTD commenced? Are you doing SMEP or just generally loads of DTD?

[Hewie30]

@Gigi318 Ahh okay, I don't feel stressed so hopefully it's not that. Hopefully it's because of a positive but I know it could just be a complete mad cycle and luteal phase can be up to 17 days so that means Monday. That sounds like a good idea to me 😊, being laid back is the best way although it can be difficult to try and keep yourself that way 😂. Just try your best ❤️

[Hewie30]

@Gigi318 erm I'm not sure either tomorrow or Monday but not sure whether to wait until Tuesday incase luteal length is long?


@flossy12 Good luck today Hun 😍😍😍😍

[Raizelrea]

@Hewie30 Your patience continues to amaze me!

[Hewie30]

@Raizelrea Thanks hun haha ❤️. It's only because when I did a test Tuesday it was negative so I've got in my head that it's just a weird cycle not pregnancy

[flossy12]

Tiny but there is our Peanut 💞 measuring 1.8cm so 6+5 just as I thought 😆 I guessed she would put me at 6+6 so I was close 😅 heard the little heart beat and she said everything looks perfect 😍

[Hewie30]

@flossy12 Awwwh hiiii peanut 😍😍. So glad everything's okay, how do you feel? Was it emotional?

[Makeafamily19]

@flossy12 😍 wow! So glad it went well! Must be such a relief for you. Amazing to think peanut is only 1.8cm but already has a heartbeat!

[Gigi318]

@Nicecupofcoco welcome back chick!

@Raizelrea oh I know the feeling, I had that and fixated on it. But now I think I secretly wanted it to be morning sickness so probably acknowledged it more than I needed too 🙄 hehehe yes I always need to wee all pf the time so I'd hate to think what I'll be like PG. Should probably start training my bladder now 🤣
Not started yet. Have a little bit of brown CM still at the moment (which always happens after full flow stops) and OH won't come near me til all clear 🙊 hopefully start tomorrow-Monday. I'm CD5 now so no rush. Well, sort of SMEP but without opks. I'm not ready to even think about then yet. So we shall we how it goes. I feel like lots of DTD should mean that something happens 🤷‍♀️🤣
