Morning ladies, hope you're all doing lovely!

@katie1109 10dpo definitely seems to early for a cheapy, but I totally understand the need to pee on something every day just to know SOMETHING! I tend to treat it as putting myself out of my misery 🙄

I'm 7DPO today, so starting to head into the same territory. I've been exhausted for the last couple of days, but as I'm having a really trying week at work, I think that's the cause tbh.
By this point last month my acne had really flared up, but my skin has stayed clear this time. My boobs were also pretty sore by now, and they're not. So I'm hoping that these missing symptoms will turn out to mean something, I guess!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Katie1109 · 28/02/2020 08:01

Thanks ladies x I'm fine if it is going to be BFN, I just don't want to give myself any false hope that's all. To be fair I am not feeling anything different. Apart from that pains that woke me up in the middle of the night on Wednesday everything else seems almost normal. I'm having this very familiar af pressure down low, although it is a bit early for me, it normally starts day before af. Boobs still sore, but mostly on the sides. Moderate amount of thick creamy CM and a bit sore lower back. No nausea or anything like that x I guess we'll see soon enough. Af due Monday x

LV1987 · 28/02/2020 08:09

What pain did you have on Weds? X

Katie1109 · 28/02/2020 08:11

It was a shooting pain down below in the middle of the night that actually woke me up x never experienced that before but it's probably nothing x

LV1987 · 28/02/2020 08:42

Oooh weird! I had similar last night, in my groin but towards my right hip. Was intermittent for about 5 mins, and definitely a shooting pain... nothing today though x

Katie1109 · 28/02/2020 10:44

My resting heart rate is going down now, which if the theory is true means that my af is coming x maybe my FRERs not arriving was a sign to not bother testing x

Sunflower2019 · 28/02/2020 11:06

Hey girlies,
just checking in on everyone? Any BFPS or testing soon?! Miss this group 😖

Now off to work, not feeling it at all! I got my scan date through 11th March, nervous as worried somethings wrong etc but trying to not think too much!
Haven’t told my dad yet, I know crazy! My mum knows and partners parents and work but I’m scared to tell him, as he was the one that took me to get my abortion previously and I’m scared as to what he will think but it’s my life and my new start.

Currently 11 weeks today but guess I’ll know more when scan comes through! I feel fine, just tired, so similar to my daughters pregnancy.

Lots of love to everyone 😘

LV1987 · 28/02/2020 11:18

@katie1109 my rhr graph attached. I think the low figure at the beginning was day before OV, the peak OV day itself, no idea what the second peak straight afterwards was, but I've dropped right down again now at 7dpo... Hoping to see another rise soon, which I've read can happen on implantation 🤞

I think you have a dip post implantation, so it could be that for you? Not trying to keep your hopes up but PMA 😁😁

Beau20 · 28/02/2020 11:27

Hey @Sunflower2019!! Ohhh my gosh how quickly has this gone?! I cannot WAIT to see your scan photo (if you decide to share). Hope you are keeping well xx

@Katie1109 My resting heart rate didn't drop until the day of AF so might just be a fluke? Plus there's no guarantee about that theory, I'm not 100 sure it's been proved. Hang on in there x

I've decided I am going to do OPKs this month and I'm temping as well, I just want to be 100% sure what's going on this cycle, if I am ovulating etc. Then next month I'll give everything a break. I'm going to ask OH if he wants to be more involved this month too, I'm sure his answer will be no as he hates the planning sex idea AND he starts his new job 1st April so he's probably worrying about getting a BFP when starting a new job (not that it will happen anyway)

Ellsbells112 · 28/02/2020 12:48

@Sunflower2019 hey there missy! Glad all is going well for you 🤗 we've had a few bfps but I'm still here. I'm 6dpo today and pretty sure it's not my month again but I like to think like this better than to hope because the hope hurts more than anything. Got my blood test today and my OH got his sperm test, he'll get his results in 2 weeks and I'll get mine in 3 days. Hoping all is well but I am worried because my doctor seemed to think I could have scarring, so if all is well I'll be referred for further checks. Just trying to focus on losing some more weight now and not get wrapped up as much as possible lol

@Beau2020x sounds like a plan 🤞😁 it's nice to know what your body is doing and I really enjoy temping. Fingers crossed for you lovely, I'm sure you'll get a bfp soon. Maybe try herbal Chinese remedy for shorter luteal phases? Maybe they can shed some light on it for you x

Mumofboys17 · 28/02/2020 13:38

@Sunflower2019 Hellooo! Nice to see you checking in! We're all still here 😂
I'm in the boring bit just waiting for FW which starts end of next week. Nice to hear everything's going ok for you though 😊 likewise - if you do choose to share - I can't wait to see your little scan pic either!

@Beau20 I think it's a good shout, whatever you decide to do! Lots of poas for us again this month then 😉

It's weird, I normally get so jealous of other people with pregnancies etc but this group just makes me so buzzing when one of us gets preggers 😍 I love it!!

Beau20 · 28/02/2020 13:41

@Mumofboys17 oh 100% this group is way way different than any old random announcing their pregnancy! I think it's because we know how much it means to each other to get a BFP and we've been through the highs and lows (mostly lows) together so we empathise. I honestly beam with happiness when one of us on this group has a positive!

Any other fucker can do one with the pregnancy announcements especially the smug ones...

Beau20 · 28/02/2020 13:42

@Fredthespider thinking of you also lovely and hope you are okay 💕

@Quiffy hope everything is going well with your little bean! X

Quiffy · 28/02/2020 14:04

@beau20 Hello! All good here, had some bad sickness but now on anti-sickness meds that are wonderful. Got my first midwife appointment at 4pm and a private scan on Sunday. Excited and terrified at the same time for it!

Holding out for you all getting your well deserved BFPs - no group is the same as the crazy gang

LV1987 · 28/02/2020 14:10

Beau that made me chuckle... Any other effer 😂😂

Beau20 · 28/02/2020 14:14

@Quiffy ooooohhh how exciting!! How many weeks are you now?

@LV1987 girl has to be honest hahahaa

I was just thinking, isn't it weird that we don't even know each others' names?! I actually think of you all in my mind as Sunflower, Quiffy, @Ellsbells112 @Katie1109 (got a hunch what you might be in real life hahah)

Beau20 · 28/02/2020 14:16

I also need some help - I started verrrryyyy mildly CM type brown tinged spotting PM on 24th and then some bright red blood but verrryyyy little in the evening. Full flow although now heavy until late morning on 25th. DO I class 24th or 25th as CD1?? I did get proper blood in evening of 24th but it wasn't full flow?

Katie1109 · 28/02/2020 14:17

Afternoon ladies x
@Sunflower2019 hi there! So glad you're keeping us posted x I hope you'll share your scan photo with us x
@Quiffy omg I cannot believe you're already having appointments and scans! This time flies by so quickly!
I felt really angry this morning because my FRER's haven't arrived and it doesn't look like they will arrive today so I'll have to request refund from Amazon tomorrow. Maybe its a good think and some magical force is trying to tell me not to waste money on tests, af is on her way. Not feeling anything special, same as this morning, nothing exciting. Is it weird to be praying for nausea?! I must have gone absolutely fucking bonkers!
@Beau20 yeah I'm with you on that, as horrible as it sounds, if you're not in the gang do one with the announcements...especially on a Friday, 3 days before my af, in my office, and the person I absolutely despise for being a 2-faced asshole with no morals or common sense! ahhhh...so angry!

Beau20 · 28/02/2020 14:32

@Katie1109 Oh shit, seriously?! If I was you, I'd be foaming!!! I'm gonna be foaming when my SIL announces her pregnancy. And I mean this when I said it's not jealousy but she is a smug so and so who think the world owes her living and she's the best thing since sliced bread. The only reason why I'll be peeved is because I cannot be arsed with her gloating more than anything. And the fact that she didn't want a baby for 2 years until I said I wanted one and then all of a sudden she wants one now. You know, one of those.

Try not to think about the nausea too much, I didn't get it until 6 weeks last time x

Ellsbells112 · 28/02/2020 14:36

@katie1109 can't stand people with no morals, nothing else makes me want to punch someone as much as having no morals does lol.

@Beau2020x hahaha is it that obvious 😜 I might have to change it actually, other names in other groups are making me parooooo haha. I don't know what to call your cd1 I notmsll just go with the day that's more than spotting.

I feel absolutely the same about you all, when the bfps come it's as if I'm the one who's had it! It's loved it 😁❤️ no other like the crazies!! I hope soon we can make the crazy pregnant gang 😜😜

Missgoldilocks · 28/02/2020 14:44

Okay I've officially changed my name from ellsbells 😂😂paranoia is real hahaha @Beau2020x @Katie1109 @quiffy @Mumofboys17 @Sunflower2019*@Symptomspotter86 @LV1987*
So I'm not a new random 😁

Katie1109 · 28/02/2020 14:51

@Missgoldilocks fuck me that is a great name lol made me properly chuckle :)
I know, people with no moral do my head in, like seriously where the hell have you been brought up?! Where do these people come from?
@Beau20 you'll be surprised to know my name is Katie so well done, you guessed lol x and I think I would class 24th as CD 1, especially if it was bright red x

Katie1109 · 28/02/2020 14:53

Oh and btw...my birthday is 09.11 and this would be baby's due date if we conceived this cycle lol!

Beau20 · 28/02/2020 14:58

@Missgoldilocks oh good god what have I made you to hahahaah!!

@katie1109 hahaha that made me think back to the Nicky Graham moment on BB "Who IS SHE and WHERE DID YOU FIND HER?!"

Ohhh god that is weirddddd! I'm 8/10 and the Jan chemical baby would have also been due on my birthday! I'm not even thinking about dates anymore! Last pregnancy was due christmas day wtf and I didn't even find out about that until 8 weeks so I aint thinking about any of it again cos I'm sending myself crazy!

Mumofboys17 · 28/02/2020 15:11

@Beau20 I class it as CD1 when AF properly starts so heavier spotting or full flow depending on how it goes, hope that helps!
I thought that about the names the other day too!! My name is obvs not Mumofboys 😂 although I do have a unique-ish name and is VERY outing, so I'll keep that under wraps for now 😉😂 until we turn into the crazy preggo gang at least 😬
