Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

Ladies sorry just catching up! So sorry to hear about the BFN @Ellsbells112 @Langpants. Was there anyone else I've missed?

AF started for me today so back to CD1. I'm back to feeling a bit better and less down about it all. Trying to look forward to my holiday to Mauritius at the end of March.

@Ellsbells112 love your slab and love your rants babes!

Fredthespider · 06/02/2020 20:49

That's great @Mrslane2019! I weighed in today for the first time since before xmas. I'm a target member but was pretty sure I went over the range over xmas so I've been avoiding going! I put on 1.5 and am 2.5 over my target so could do with dropping back down a little.

Mumofboys17 · 06/02/2020 21:01

@Beau2020x Hi! Nice to see you back! X
Not sure what you've missed, I've got a couple days of DTD left then in the TWW again, unless I had a stupid long cycle again obvs!

@Langpants that was me last cycle! I got to CD39 before AF showed up 😩 so frustrating! Do you normally get long cycles?

@hampshirerose34 my OPK's today look like your previous ones. Don't go by the app 100% I have 3 different ones and 2 out of 3 reckon I won't ovulate til next week 🙄 only Glow reckons I'll ovulate on Saturday! X

Ellsbells112 · 06/02/2020 22:29

@Symptomspotter86 ahh thanks babes! Was thinking aboit you today and glad you feel better! I had a cry, damn emotions. Allpre af symptoms here so... Hopefully next month will be our month xx
Mauritius sounds lovely!! I'll be looking forward to Amsterdam mid March myself xx

Morning ladies x how is everyone?
@Ellsbells112 what DPO are you now? 12? Are you going to test? Loved your chocolate slab yesterday!
@Symptomspotter86 ahh sorry af arrived x fingers crossed for next cycle x
I'm CD5 today. Started taking primrose oil alongside pregnacare conception, so let's see if it makes any difference x Ovulation for me probably around 17th/18th and af due 1st/2nd of March x My FW is meant to start next Thursday so still time. I must admit I am still not feeling positive at all, almost like I resigned myself to the fact I'm not going to be pregnant...ever :(
Hope everyone has a lovely day x

Ange211 · 07/02/2020 07:47

Good morning. Ah @katie1109 maybe you'll feel differently when you approach fw. I always feel a bit shit between AF & fw then I start hoping again!
I'm on CD 23. 6 days till testing date. Not sure I'll last that long even though I'm pretty sure I haven't caught this month!

Ange211 · 07/02/2020 07:49

@Symptomspotter86 sorry AF has arrived but what a lovely thing to look forward to!
@Ellsbells112 hope the witch stats away for you & pms symptoms are actually Pg symptoms 🤞

Ange211 · 07/02/2020 07:55

@BntTowers sorry about your bfn. I do the same even though it's picked up a couple of chemicals I'm glad I knew if that makes sense?
Yuk first time conceivers are the worst closely followed by those who jump on threads right at the end to ask can you see my (clearly obvious) positive test yuk.

Katie1109 · 07/02/2020 08:41

Thanks @Ange211 x
So I have just had few spots of creamy brown CM on my panty liner? Why am I spotting? I never spot at all, what is going on? :( Is it because my af lasted only 2 days? It's just all bizzare, I still get twinges on my left side where I ovulated from last cycle, mild cramps and my back hurts. Is it possible my af which arrived on 13DPO wasn't af? Nah...I'm just being an idiot aren't I?

Katie1109 · 07/02/2020 08:46

Please don't think I'm completely bonkers...the only reason I'm suspicious is that when I had my MC I didn't test positive until CD36 and I was testing from CD29! If my af was not af I would be CD35 today...clutching at straws I know, but it makes the wait till FW shorter lol x

Beau2020x · 07/02/2020 09:04

@katie1109 you are not bonkers at all! Could it be residual AF? I have had that a few times, AF stopped and then a day or 2 later I had brown spotting. It could be anything. If you keep prepping for FW and keep on top of the OPKs in a few days time, then you will start to notice if everything is as normal or something else is going on x

Mumofboys17 · 07/02/2020 09:07

@Katie1109 firstly... as if any one of us would judge you, crazy gang by name and nature! Xx
As for the brown spotting I'm not sure, I was always told brown blood/discharge is older because it's darker in colour, as much as I don't want to be that pessimistic person it could just be leftover from your AF? You could always do a test to be sure but could just leave you feeling in limbo again xxx

Katie1109 · 07/02/2020 09:12

I don't know @Beau2020x I never spot. I get my af in full flow straight away and then it stops dead with nothing. It only lasted 2 days this time so maybe that's why. Ehh...I'll wait probably until Tuesday and start using opk's - I'll be CD9, just in case I ovulate earlier than CD15-16 x

Ellsbells112 · 07/02/2020 09:28

@katie1109 what I personally find is that if I have a lightish period or a short one, I will have some left over brown spotting because its old blood that was slower to come down. It could be that? Yeah I'm 12dpo today, was really upset yesterday and cried it out. I'm just scared and like all I think about every single time it doesn't happen is the abortion I had and how I must have ruined my chances for ever concieving again. It sounds so dramatic but honestly the guilt is literally killing me.
Just waiting on af, it'll come Saturday or Sunday x

Beau2020x · 07/02/2020 10:29

@ellsbells112 you sound JUST like me... I think the exact same. What makes it even worse that I've been pregnant with my current partner and terminated, it just wasn't the right time at all. Now we REALLY want it, it's just not happening. It's karma I suppose!

Mrslane2019 · 07/02/2020 10:54

oh no come on girls is sound like you all need a bit cheer up some like you need nice hugs big bar of chocolate barons drink of your choice for the weekend :-( it crap business really
Had anyone got any exciting plan for weekend ?

Mrslane2019 · 07/02/2020 10:55

suppose day sound like and chocolate bar stupid phone 🙈

Beau2020x · 07/02/2020 11:08

@mrslane2019 you're not wrong! I'm looking forward to our Friday night chinese and a good snuggle watching love island! (oh the high life).

We've got BIL and SIL coming this weekend - que the pregnancy announcement. Can't wait (not). Part of me will be over the moon other part won't.

What's everyone else up to?

Symptomspotter86 · 07/02/2020 11:15

@beau2020x I feel for you in regards to the pregnancy announcement. I've been there! Good luck hun.

@Ellsbells112 please dont beat yourself up for the abortion. You made the right decision at the time for you. It will happen for you and all of us eventually.

I have to pack tonight and going to down a bottle of wine whilst I do it. AF is so heavy this time and have horrible cramps and a dodgy stomach! Delightful!

Mrslane2019 · 07/02/2020 11:17

@Beau2020x that sound nice sound like a perfect night apart from the last part i am with you i had that last month and it so hard to be happy but my god the feeling soul destroying yes i had a little cry (actual meltdown) don’t let get your down we all here if you need to rant

i got cocktails evening with my mummy friend which sound great but it will be all out babies just what i need 🙄your find me in corner drink lots of cocktails 🍸 but the rest of the weekend it the start fw so be doing the baby dance

Katie1109 · 07/02/2020 11:44

I just feel generally crap today. I haven't slept well at all, my head seems to be in overdrive :( I'm constipated so that doesn't help, last time I've been for number 2 (sorry gross I know!) was Wednesday, I've been struggling with constipation from around 7DPO last cycle which never happens to me, the moment I have my morning coffee I'm usually ready to go! My belly feels all hard an uncomfortable and I just want to go home and sleep!

Ellsbells112 · 07/02/2020 12:41

@Beau2020x @Symptomspotter86 thanks girls, it's nice when people actually support you and take time out to be caring to your problems :) because some don't. Yeah @Beau2020x I can imagine that's really hard!!! I'm so sorry I really hope you get a bfp soon. I'm hoping you get it this cycle because I think after chemical pregnancies you are more fertile (just from what I've seen) I hope the pregnancy announcement doesn't go too bad, we are here if you need to rant x
@Symptomspotter86 awww I hope you feel better soon ❤️❤️ enjoy that wine chick. I'm going to be getting take out tonight because I for one can't be effed lol xx

BFP2020 · 07/02/2020 12:57

Hey ladies we definitely need a cheer up. Glass of wine for me tonight anyway 8DPO and pretty sure I'm not pregnant Boobs are starting to get sore. I'm used to the disappointment at this stage.

My OH went for his SA this morning (reluctantly) I should have results this afternoon or the Monday morning at the latest.

Mrslane2019 · 07/02/2020 13:16

@Ellsbells112 yes i been told that to your more fertile after a loss so 🤞🏻to the guys look forward to see themBFP
@BFP2020 🤞🏻 Hope the result come back quick

Sunflower2019 · 07/02/2020 14:52

Hey everyone 😘 Have I missed much? More BFPs?
@Ellsbells112 remember I went through the same, had an abortion and I was thinking it was karma, but it obviously wasn’t the case! It WILL happen for you. Are you getting semen test done? I thought I had no hope as Dp had poor morphology but I think if there is an issue with sperm, try do it less!

Have any of you thought about reflexology? I had this done and not sure if it made the difference but they can tell a lot and you have fertile points and if massages can help! She said mine were a little funny and she massaged them 🤷‍♀️ You can get it cheap now. Just a thought!

Have my first midwife appointment Monday, bit nervous as awful at having bloods done, but will be nice to go over some of my concerns etc. Will let you all know how it went.

We’ve still only told my work and my mum 😂 ridiculous I know, but we will get there!

Lots of love ladies 😘😘
