@myttcjourney how are you chick? Eek hopefully it's a good thing. Although last month I had them a full week before AF and then AF arrived 🙄🙈

myttcjourney · 04/10/2019 16:33

@Gigi318 I think I convince myself I have symptoms. Just going to wait out the week and see what happens. I’ve also been crying at absolutely nothing so I’m either deranged or pregnant 🤣🤣🤣

Raizelrea · 04/10/2019 17:01

@Katie1109 @claireb707 @Gigi318 Thanks ladies! I'm not too distraught about it, I will test again on Sunday and will go from there - not holding a lot of hope though as there wasn't even a squinty squinter. On the bright side it means I can have wine on my birthday on Monday. Also I've just been invited to a job interview for next Wednesday so if I do get that I it may not ve ideal to start a new job right when I get pregnant.

Claire I think everything happens for a reason. If you hadn't been with your ex-husband you may not have known what you actually want in a partnership. If you met your current OH earlier you may not have been interested in each other, the time and circumstances may not have been right for either of you and you may have missed out on what you have completely. You are exactly where you are supposed to be.

I have not been married but did date a man that gave me an STI ten years ago. Obviously that's been long cleared but sometimes I do worry it may have affected my fertility and my tubes. But at the end of the day I know every ex brought me closer to my husband so I would not have changed any of it.

Raizelrea · 04/10/2019 17:05

Also @Gigi318 you are amazing ⭐

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 17:12

@myttcjourney this was literally me last month. I was convinced of it. But AF symptoms and PG symptoms are so similar. Keeping my fingers crossed for you babe, not long to wait now. So exciting 🤞🏻💫

@Raizelrea well that is fantastic way to look at it and OMG YOU KEPT THAT QUIET about your birthday!!! Or did I miss you talking about it?!?! 🤣🙈 so exciting! And congratulations on the interview. Two such very exciting things happening in one week. And they say things do come in threes (me and @Hewie30 are firm believers of this)!!!

Also, why am I amazing 🤣🙈

Raizelrea · 04/10/2019 17:21

@myttcjourney I know you can drive yourself crazy looking for symptoms because you'll always fond something when you're hyperfocused on it! I know I've been having nausea both of my last two cycles when we (well, I 😆) decided to take TTC "more seriously"

@Gigi318 Haha I like your threefold theory! And you're amazing because you continue to spread good vibes all over the thread, it's lovely ☺️ How are you today? It's Friday!!!

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 17:30

@Raizelrea hehehe we are the same - it's more 'I' decided we are taking TTC more seriously than OH. He is impartial 🤣🙈 awww thank you! I just want everyone to be happy and positive and get those BFPs 🙌🏻👌🏻 I am well thank you chick, the weather always makes me feel more deflated but I'm feeling good now as it's pretty much evening and time to relax. How are youuu??

myttcjourney · 04/10/2019 17:31

@Gigi318 one week til testing time! I could probably do it earlier if I’m due on 11th but I will wait. Spending enough on ovulation kits without wasting more money on pregnancy tests!

@raizelrea you really can, the second I read something on google I’m like oh yes that must be this weird thing I felt the other day! Lolll I’m the same, oh I feel queasy in the car..must be a sign! Trying to chill but it’s hard

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 17:58

@myttcjourney yes definitely a good idea to wait. I get so nervous doing it, so I'm never tempted to test early. I'd rather just wait 🙊🙈

Raizelrea · 04/10/2019 18:46

@Gigi318 Haha yeah my OH is like that, everyone always says that if he was any more relaxed he'd be horizontal 😆 It's nice when he randomly takes an interest in the cycle or mentions where we can take our future kids though as I never expect it 😊 I know what you mean about the weather, I'm like that too, when it's nice and sunny I'm overly jolly and then when it's miserable I just want to hide under a blanket and do nothing. We just went out for curry and I must say I at least look pregnant after everything I've eaten 😄

@myttcjourney I know, I remember our family friends' kids used to get car sick when we were little and I always felt very grown up because I didn't - well apparently TTC took that out of the window as I can't handle car rides anymore. Riddiculous!

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 20:00

@Raizelrea hehehe I love that. Are you more uptight? Just curious if you're opposites? I'm very highly strung and OH more relaxed 🤣 hehehe that's lovely. My OH is more freaked out/annoyed by baby talk or thinking there is an agenda for DTD and puts him off 🙄 we will get there!
That's very much what it is. I've had a very slow paced day, to be honest - so it's not been bad. Oh yum, was it nice?? We've had a quiet one and much needed! I could sleep right now 🙊

Raizelrea · 04/10/2019 20:32

@Gigi318 Well more uptight then him 😁 I wouldn't say I'm generally uptight, it's more having a compulsive personality - I'm generally fairly chilled out but can get obsessed with things very easily. Haha yeah I do try to not go overboard with TTC when talking to OH, but sometimes it can't be helped. Nothing turns him off from DTD though 😂 The curry was delicious thanks, I did actually doze off on the sofa for a bit haha.

Gigi318 · 04/10/2019 21:05

@Raizelrea hehe I love that. I bet you are very passionate about your interests, in that case! I get like this. I'm a very animated person 🙊 OH is quieter and calmer. Hehe lucky you. He can when tired or moody 🙃 so there's that. That sounds amazing - perfect Friday night!

Raizelrea · 04/10/2019 21:33

@Gigi318 I am, though I can be kind of flakey so usually I get really into something for a few weeks or months and then move my attention elsewhere 😁 But I guess that's good, diversity is the spice of life or however the saying goes! Yes the ideal Friday night after a busy week! Have you had a nice evening?

Gigi318 · 05/10/2019 09:35

Morning everyone! How are you all? Happy Saturday!

@Raizelrea I love that though - I'm a bit like that. Real excited and passionate about something. And then something else. And then something else 🤣 I am easily distracted! That's fantastic! We were both really tired last night so we just had a lazy one. But it was well needed. How are you feeling today?? When is AF due? I had some O twinges last night and this morning, pretty certain it will be happening soon!

flossy12 · 05/10/2019 09:37

Hey Girls 😆😁😄 haven't managed to read up on everything yet 😅 having n amazing time! The nausea hasn't made anything easy though not hardly eaten at all, went for pancakes and chocolate sauce for breakfast today and managed to polish it off just! So think a more sugary option is best for morning times! I always have sugar free things but don't think that's helping 😒

Other than that the weather is lovely! 💞 hope your all doing okay! Where is everyone upto? 😆

Gigi318 · 05/10/2019 09:46

@flossy12 morning babe! So glad you're having a wonderful time! Sorry to hear eating is difficult but definitely just go with what you fancy. Hope DSS is having a lovely time too!

claireb707 · 05/10/2019 12:05

Just landed at Gatwick - so depressing 😂😂
Want my nice weather back!

Very slight pink/ brown spotting this morning but still no period....

myttcjourney · 05/10/2019 14:09

I stupidly did a FRER test today after reading online about all these people that got positives 9DPO! Not even first pee of the day, it was a BFN

I am not due til 11/12 so a week from now! I’m really annoyed with myself that I tested 😡

flossy12 · 05/10/2019 14:17

@Gigi318 thank you!! He's having an amazing time 💞 we all are it's lovely ☺️😊 thank you! Yeah going to go with the sweeter stuff for abit and see how I do x

Gigi318 · 05/10/2019 15:23

@claireb707 glad to have you back in the UK babe, but shame you didn't bring the weather with you. It's gross here, isn't it! Hopefully the spotting doesn't turn into AF 🤞🏻

@myttcjourney oh no! Eeeek. This is why I'm not a fan of testing early. It's okay, some don't get a BFP until like a week or more after AF due! So stay positive because it's still really early!

@flossy12 so glad babe! Soak up that sun and relax!! Xx

Makeafamily19 · 05/10/2019 18:07

Hi all, hope everyone is having a great weekend!
I'm having a nice bath and then DH is giving me a massage and we are gonna relax with a movie and popcorn! 😄
Going out for a posh roast tomorrow too!

I've not been symptom spotting at all and been quite relaxed so far in TWW, currently 8DPO. Been nice to just not think about it to be honest.

Hope you are getting busy DTD @Gigi318 any EWs yet??

Welcome back @claireb707 a lot of people can get spotting then BFP so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@myttcjourney Don't worry you are way too early! This is why I'm not testing haha. Though @Gigi318 I'm the same as you I get nervous as I don't want to see a BFN which is why I think I'll end up holding out quite late.

@flossy12 have a lovely holiday!

Raizelrea · 05/10/2019 20:03

Well ladies, I started spotting today so I know AF will be here in a day or two. I did have a really good day at the TED x talk though. Now chilling by the fireplace with a glass of wine. How's everybody's weekend going?

myttcjourney · 06/10/2019 09:07

@claireb707 @raizelrea as long as you haven’t got AF it could still be good news! Crossing my fingers for you both

@Makeafamily19 @Gigi318 I know! I shouldn’t spend to much Time on google, all these people saying how they got their BFPs really early 😩
I won’t test again until AF is due. I have woken up feeling really queasy today, feel like I could be sick. I think I’m turning myself crazy and tricking myself into having all these symptoms
