@BntTowers I'm the same x I always convince myself 'yep, this is it' and then symptom spot or hold onto any tiny bit of hope until AF actually shows up!
It's funny because when I was pregnant the first time, it was obvious. I knew. And the test was positive within seconds. Now I sit there staring at them for about an hour squinting for any kind of 2nd line 😬 officially gone mad!! X

BntTowers · 08/01/2020 07:29

This would be the first time for me. I've not been too bad with symptom spotting since in August I was convinced of it, feeling faint, headaches, nauseous, having vivid dreams. But AF came the morning I was meeting up with friends, really full on and heavy and as soon as I got there a friend I hadn't seen in ages is there with a 6 month baby bump and if DH wasn't there I think I would have broken down.
So moral of the story is I've been trying hard to not think, this could be it because that month was just too hard.
It is also great to have somewhere when in moments of hope I can say I'm feeling like this today, could it be?
Eugh! It's too early in the morning to have a ramble on like that!

Mumofboys17 · 08/01/2020 08:26

@BntTowers I think everything you're saying is spot on! I also think life is so ridiculously unfair when some women get pregnant straight away or by accident 😤
(I mean no offence by that girls I know we've all got our own past and grudges to bare 💗)
I just started thinking this morning would it really be that bad if DS was an only child... 😬 feels so pessimistic, but it took 18 months to conceive him the first time and I don't think I've got that in me again. We're 6 months down the line this time already 🙁

Beau2019 · 08/01/2020 08:43

@Mumofboys17 @BntTowers girls, don't give up - I will HAPPEN! It's sooo so so hard to be positive I am with you. When I was 16, I had a split condom incident, got the morning after pill within 4 hours and I had just finished my period (maybe CD5 or something so not even in fertile window) AND I STILL GOT PREGNANT. Wtf. I'm now 6 cycles down the line and no hope - it's tough.

@BntTowers I don't think I could hold it together if one of my close friends or a work colleague announced they were pregnant right now. It sounds so selfish but I'm just hoping they can hold off for a while haha.

No idea what is going on with me, I have been REALLY crampy since my period came to an end. It's a mixture of the cramps I get when AF is due and when I am ovulating. I also have horrendous acne and I'm only CD7 - never had this before. And for once I'm not pregnancy symptom spotting haha!

Sunflower2019 · 08/01/2020 09:05

Morning girls,
Don’t start getting negative! It will happen!!! I started to think like that and the month I did kind of not give a it happened!
I literally moved over to the pregnancy section yesterday and it’s awful, nobody wants to talk to you :( i felt anxious enough and then went over to the dark side I’m gonna call it now and it wasn’t nice. I have stated my own thread, but I doubt anyone will join it, so I’m gonna be pregnant and alone :(
Miss you guys xx

Beau2019 · 08/01/2020 09:34

@sunflower2019 oh bless you!!! If we get our BFPs this month we will start our own little September/October bumps thread!

I was thinking about it last night, how cute would it be if we all had our babies by Christmas and we could have a little get together. I am so crazy but I totally want to meet you all. I'm sure it would be a logistical nightmare haha

Sunflower2019 · 08/01/2020 09:42

@Beau2019 I’m definitely thinking I’ll hop on even if I’m ahead I’m doing it! It’s crap, honestly, thought I’d head over and people would be all happy and say congrats and I just got ignored! I’ll stick around here for a while and see how you guys get on! Told my dd this morning, she was happy! We’re gonna wait a few weeks to tell friends and family though, just incase.
Going for my facial later, bloody need it! Xxx

Mumofboys17 · 08/01/2020 09:45

@Beau2019 so pleased you've said it as I didn't want to sound over keen 😂😂 feel like we have to be Mum friends for life now!! We all know too much about each other not to be 😂😂😘

@Sunflower2019 soz hun but you know that this is basically the best thread on MN right now 😉 remember how many other ladies jumped on our last thread!! ❤️
I'm trying to be positive, next month WILL BE THE MONTH if I can't make it happen this time. I've got my CB OPK and FRER's ready in my amazon basket for pay day and next cycle 😂 xx

Quiffy · 08/01/2020 10:11

@BntTowers sorry about the bfn. It’s so hard but still early doors! We’ve all got out 🤞 my first one too and it’s so hard not to worry that the plumbing just doesn’t work 😩

@Sunflower2019 that sucks on that group :( youd think they’d be a bit more friendly considering how hard it can be to get that bfp

@Mumofboys17 @Beau2019 that would be amazing! Even if some of start (hopefully) getting bfps we could maybe make a WhatsApp group or something so we can all keep in touch ❤️

Fredthespider · 08/01/2020 10:13

Solid negative on the FRER for me this morning. Not entirely surprised but also still disappointed. I'm going to give it one more cycle and then go to the GP as this level of bleeding is not going to be helping anything!

Sunflower2019 · 08/01/2020 10:14

Definitely need to all stay In touch! Trying to think of an easier way.. wonder if we could start a Facebook private group or something? I get worried as obv haven’t told anyone yet. I’m going to be the only pregnant woman staying on the conception boards but oh well! Xx

Quiffy · 08/01/2020 10:14

@Ange211 how’s day 3 going? I think I’m in a sugar withdrawal despair. Although not as much despair as the scale was on Monday 😹😹 had to envisage a baby over chocolate last night

Sunflower2019 · 08/01/2020 10:14

Got everything crossed for you guys! X❤️

Fredthespider · 08/01/2020 10:15

@Mumofboys17 @Beau2019 @Quiffy we started a facebook group for the babies due around when number 1 was born, it's pretty active with someone posting something most days. It's also easier to follow than MN!

Quiffy · 08/01/2020 10:16

@Fredthespider sorry :( think that’s a good idea on the go. Get the ball rolling and hopefully you get that bfp in the meantime ❤️

Quiffy · 08/01/2020 10:17

Facebook sounds a good idea, you can make those group totally private so no one can see you’re a part of them right?

Mumofboys17 · 08/01/2020 10:20

@Quiffy I love that idea!! Yeah I think you can make fb groups private like you can with private events so no one can see them apart from those invited.

Is it sad I'm a bit giddy we may be breaking down that anonymous wall 😬😂😂 exciting stuff haha! X

@Fredthespider how long have you been TTC now? If not 12 months would it be possible for you to fib a teeny bit and say it has been? To save them sending you away again xx

Beau2019 · 08/01/2020 10:22

Eeeek what a good idea! I want all the bump updates. But yeah right now needs to be anonymous until we get past the 12 week mark then you can all put a face to the fingering nooo dramas hahahaah

Beau2019 · 08/01/2020 10:26

PS. Anyone based in the North West? Paranoid self worried I may have exposed my fingering secrets to someone I know haha!!

Daisydays1 · 08/01/2020 10:29

Dpo 7,8,9 had spotting still got a little today on day 10, so guessing it to long to be implantation. Tested today also 10dpo and was negative 🙄

Wishing you all good luck you your journey to becoming mummy's x

Mumofboys17 · 08/01/2020 10:34

@Beau2019 that's fair 😂😂 xx

@Daisydays1 it's lots of spotting normal for you? When's AF due? X

Sunflower2019 · 08/01/2020 10:43

Yesssss get that Facebook group rolling! We will keep 100% confidential plus it will save all the new threads etc and doesn’t matter if we are all pregnant and different times! Xx

Sunflower2019 · 08/01/2020 10:45

@Beau2019 no I’m in Suffolk, east Anglia.

I once came across a girl who lived literally 5 miles from me on here but we still didn’t know each other, we did eventually meet at a baby group which was weird and shocking! 😂😂 that was when I was pregnant with dd. X x

Quiffy · 08/01/2020 10:48

@Beau2019 It depends how north west you mean 😹

@Mumofboys17 I’m up for it. It’s probably more private than mumsnet anyway. Especially when you name it something other than babies 😹

@Daisydays1 think implantation can be as long as that, is the spotting usual for you?

Beau2019 · 08/01/2020 10:49

@Quiffy I get a feeling you are from Scotland? I'm not that far up hahaha. I'm North Lans/South Lakes way.
