@FutureMrsSmith I'm due AF Wednesday too and I've got like a thick stretchy sticky CM not loads of it though 🤨 it's a minefield all this stuff haha I dunno what's supposed to happen before AF as I've never paid attention other than the obvious sore boobs before and then cramps during that happen. I have cramps before and no sore boobs, hard not to wonder if that's a sign or not!

CiaraJ01 · 16/12/2019 19:25

@all I'm sure our bodies listen to us and then decide to do the opposite! 😂 Maybe its preparing us for toddlers??😂

@Blondeandbroody I'm similar to you in that I never paid enough attention before 🙄

meetmebythesea · 16/12/2019 19:40

New to site. Ttc baby #2. I got pregnant without meaning to the first time so this is my first experience of actually trying. I'm now 6 months trying and it's getting harder and harder to deal with every month. I'm sadly over the 35 yr old mark, so I worry a lot that maybe I left it too long. My first baby is almost 3. Should really stop calling her a baby. Lol. Due AF Saturday, maybe. My cycle is irregular. Currently have AF cramps. And about 8dpo. But I've always had cramps before it arrives and this doesn't feel any different. 😔 hoping I can be part of the 2020 club. 🤞

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 19:43

Okay I can't stand these cramps anymore!! I never get them before AF but then have them alllllll the way through. If these are AF pains and they carry on for my whole period I will cry!! I am usually on for 6 days so I'll have had cramps for like 11 days 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 they hurt so much 😭

I can handle them if they're BFP pains though (for Mother Nature if she's listening)

mellymoo86 · 16/12/2019 19:56

@Blondeandbroody Aww no :( maybe put something warm there (not hot). Hope it eases soon. I know this whole process is a nightmare. I just did some yoga and deep breathing to control myself lol.

@meetmebythesea Nice to meet you and welcome to the madness! I am currently 4-5DPO so have some time yet. When do you plan to test?

FutureMrsSmith · 16/12/2019 19:59

@meetmebythesea welcome!
Yes, we're all going bloody crazy here but the support we all get from one another is incredible!

@nt1992 @Blondeandbroody I never paid attention to my CM before I just did some research online about EWCM and then understood it dries up closer to AF if not pregnant.

mellymoo86 · 16/12/2019 20:04

@FutureMrsSmith @CiaraJ01 I didn't even know what CM was or for. I was like like ew go away. Now I'm like COME BACCKKKK IM SORRY lol

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 20:14

@mellymoo86 hahahahaha come baaaaaack!

@FutureMrsSmith I have no clue about CM as I've read stories of people who were dry and got BFP and people who had CM like
Mine and got BFP so who the fluff knows!! Fingers crossed for us all approaching AF x

CiaraJ01 · 16/12/2019 20:24

😂 @mellymoo86 emm what's it for?!

@meetmebythesea Welcome to the mad house 😂

Mangaroo · 16/12/2019 20:38

@Skygirl1983@mellymoo86 Thank you for the new thread and the tag!
I love the new title, must admit the previous one was giving me pressure! 😅

We can't try again until the new year because clinic is closed for Christmas. Makes me feel really sad, still can't get over the last cycle. The two little follicles there, the thought of potential twins, I guess just got carried away. 😢

sojo44 · 16/12/2019 20:44

Hi lovely ladies 👋
Can I join?

Trying for my first, have PCOS, on cycle 3, but trying for 7-8 months.

CD2 today, here's hoping for that 2020 baby as well!

Dust to all! ✨

How are you all spending Christmas? I figured I'd let myself indulge in the food and wine front 😁

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 20:45

@mellymoo86 I'm scared of heat at the minute ha! I am dying to have a nice hot bath which I'll be doing if AF comes lol!

Finish work for Christmas on Wednesday too so hopefully I get my BFP and have 2 and a half weeks off work to get my head around it. Or sulk because I've got BFN/AF and then the last week DTD lots! 😂

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 21:05

Another Asda one tonight same result as last time

2020 Bumps (hopefully ;) )
Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 21:06

@nt1992 there's something there..... I see it?

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 21:10

@Blondeandbroody there's definitely something there but it doesn't seem to be getting stronger AF is only due yday or today so it's either still really early or something is wrong🤷🏽‍♀️ my FRER tomorrow should be darker than the last FRER I took so I guess I'll know then🤷🏽‍♀️

CiaraJ01 · 16/12/2019 21:22

@Mangaroo welcome back! What's been happening your end? At least you can enjoy Xmas 💕

@sojo44 welcome! I'm Irish so head back to Ireland on Thursday without my OH so testing Weds 🤞 I'm on cycle 3 for my first

@Blondeandbroody my test in Weds will determine of I'm drinking my way through Duty free on thursday 😂

@nt1992 it's a good sign if AF hasnt arrived yet! 🤞

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 21:29

@CiaraJ01 got mild AF like pains but I think that's normal if early? I don't know I'm in limbo😂

Cervix is still high and closed which is good

stepmumma91 · 16/12/2019 21:40

@mellymoo86 thanks for the tag!

Hello lovely ladies,

I'm still here and keep popping back to get the updates! I am keeping fingers crossed anf eagerly waiting some Christmas BFPs for you!!

Thought I'd share our first Mumsnet bambino with you all. Turns out the level of psycho doesn't change after conception. I have another early scan booked for Saturday just to double check everything's ok and real lol. 8 and a half weeks now and still can't believe it.

Haven't moved on to pregnancy threads, feels like I'll jinx it and tbh, you're all much more interesting 😂 So I shall wait for you here x

2020 Bumps (hopefully ;) )
Unicornsparklez · 16/12/2019 21:43

👋🏼 There.. can I join?

TTC #1... cycle 6 now. CD 25.. pink/brown spotting yesterday & today (this hasn’t happened before).. AF due 24.12 according to my app.

Nice to e-meet you..

Dust to all ✨✨

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 21:43

@stepmumma91 what a beautiful scan picture 😍😍

FutureMrsSmith · 16/12/2019 21:51

@Unicornsparklez how many DPO are you? Could be implantation bleeding?!

@stepmumma91 amazing, we are definitely due some BFPs on this group.

mellymoo86 · 16/12/2019 22:05

@CiaraJ01 Oh Ciara! How are you coping with this ttc stuff! You're using the right hole right? Lol joking. Well the egg white cm helps sperm swim to your egg doesn't it. Clearly my cm is shite lol.

@Mangaroo Aww no sorry to hear that. Hopefully 2020 will be a better year for all of us. How many goes do you get?

@Blondeandbroody I know what you mean I was craving a bath today but didn't want to risk it. Will be the first thing I do if it's a BFN. With a gin and tonic of course lol

@stepmumma91 Awww that's a lovely scan. And I can imagine it feels to go to be true. So nice to see good news. Please do let us know how the other scans go, would love to see. ❤️

Mangaroo · 16/12/2019 22:19

@CiaraJ01 Haha, the drinking your way through duty free made me laugh. Fingers crossed you will be prohibited! :-)

Unicornsparklez · 16/12/2019 22:20

@FutureMrsSmith all the posts I read online when trying to figure out why I was bleeding day 24 suggested implantation but don’t want to get my hopes up. I’m not sure of my exact ovulation date. Plan to start testing for this but approx 6 days PO according to the app. Came off the pill 6 months ago and only just settling into a regular cycle but this is the first time ive had any bleed this early before AF. It’s just a pink/brown tinge to wipe not like a period would be and no period pain symptoms. Still new to it all and learning ConfusedConfused

Littlepea90 · 16/12/2019 22:21

Hi guys

Finally a group where I’m not the only militant ovulation tracking, I think I’m going crazy one.

Currently cycle two, waiting for AF to take her leave so I can try again. Nice to be able to talk to people without being judged or having to hear if you don’t try it’ll happen Hmm

@stepmumma91 also congratulations! Flowers
