Apologies if I missed anyone!! ❤️❤️

We're taking the vitamins. We used pre-seed. We DTD so many times. Just can't help but feel somethings physically wrong. Normally I put it down to missing the right day, but how the hell.... just really struggling with this now😭

@Mumofboys17 oh babe 🤗 it's so bloody hard isn't it 😭 I know!! I just told my OH let's get these other vitamins but when I looked at the package I'm literally taking most of the vitamins all in higher doses, I take like 6 pills after ovulation and about 10 before ovulation 🙄. We aren't doing anything wrong we are doing everything right! 😕 It's so confusing I think that's why it's so hard because you can do everything right and it still not happen! Again and again 🙄 I'm definitely not a patient person either

@Missgoldilocks thank you ❤️ sorry to be such a downer. Don't want to bring anyone else down, just so bloody irritating!!!
I'll be fine once AF shows up and I can just carry on again. Getting crampy today so probs on her way! 🙄
Like you and Beau said.. statistically we must be getting close now 😂😂 so there's that going for us! Just saving the best til last 😉 xx

@Mumofboys17 please don't say sorry, I feel exactly the same as you!! Honestly I can't even put a smile on my face! Every morning that I feel completely normal I'm like fuck sake it's not happened again. I'm sooooooo sick of it so 100 percent with you!!!! ❤️ ❤️ 💕 It's just like I keep trying to tell myself 3 more months till its an official year. It must happen by then?! If it doesn't I think I will literally just blow 🤦‍♀️
But we have each other thank god all the crazy gang xx

@Mumofboys17 absolutely do not say sorry!! We get it totally. One of the reasons I went a big absent from mumsnet (as well as all the other shite) was because I felt like I was a miserable kill joy cow who did nothing but winge. I'm here like shit, some people really have it worse than me (when I read these stories about women taking 2 years plus). But that's not the way to look at it. Just because we've only been 9 months doesn't invalidate our feelings any less than anyone else.

TTC is utter dogs bollocks. I had visions of it being fun exciting and actually being pretty pregnant at this point! There is some amazing support on here, here is where you can let it all out and we get it 💕 we'll all have our babies at some point. I've got a huge wave of hope and positivity from @Katie1109

@Beau20 @Missgoldilocks I bloody love this group ❤️
I'm feeling a bit better. I had a total wobbley earlier, ugly crying and everything 😂 I put DS down for a nap, me and DH just had some nice quiet time and cuddles together (actually turned into some really hot sex 🙃🙊) but god it made me feel better 😂
We've now made a list of all the things we want to do as a family once lockdown is lifted and put it into a pot, so we'll pick one out when we have days off etc and do that thing, eg theme park days, family bike rides and so on.
I'm still gutted but I'm out the dark place now. Bring on AF and bring on cycle 9 👊🏻

@Mumofboys17 aww that is so cute! What a good idea. Listen, you aren't out yet. Keep the positivity going though. It will happen 💕

Morning ladies x sorry to see some of you feel down x there’s nothing wrong with that, we all need our down moments to recalibrate ourselves x I know I have my BFP, but it’s still very much touch and go, I’m 4 + 1 today and last time we’ve only made it to 4 + 5 x I’m trying to not get my hopes up and get excited just yet x to be fair symptoms wise there’s nothing new. My nips and boobs hurt but not dramatically and I’m a bit sleepy during the day, other than that absolutely nothing else x not sure whether that’s good or not 😩 I’m reluctant to go to MN pregnancy groups, I prefer our little gang here x

Morning all x

@katie1109 as and when you do feel comfortable joining a pregnancy group, please carry on checking in with us ❤️

I'm either CD20 or 22 today, depending on whether CD1 was spotting I had that lead into AF or not. I had my 9th flashy smiley today and I feel like utter CRAP. Physically, not mentally... My tummy is in knots, I'm shattered, everything aches and I feel strangely like AF is just around the corner. That would throw my dates well out of whack 🙄 only time will tell I guess.

How is everyone else getting on? X

@katie1109 I really hope it's a sticky bean for you!! I have a feeling everything is going to be okay my lovely stay positive keep taking your vitamins loads of water don't stress your body and relax 😊😊🤗 I'm over the moon for you and you've really given me hope xxx

@lv1987 morning, that's really weird? I don't know what to suggest for you, you don't temp do you? X

I'm okay, 8dpo today, feel absolutely normal like every other month so not much hope. Had a massive argument with oh yesterday so a bit meh! This lockdown is a bit much x

How's everyone else x

@Katie1109 everything will be just fine lovely, stay positive and try to relax as much as you can. Try not to worry about symptoms too much - I've had 2 pregnancies and they were totally different! 1st one I didn't have a single symptom, wouldn't even know I was pregnant all the way up the 9 weeks it lasted. 2nd pregnancy I had symptoms from the time AF was due, cramping, huge sore boobs, morning sickness started about 6 weeks.

Every pregnancy is different so is every person so try not to worry as much as you can. Xxx

@missgoldilocks it is a bit odd I think, but as it's only been about 4 months since I took my last pill, I'm still not really sure what is odd and what's not, if you know what I mean. Last month, I felt literally amazing around ovulation (although I didn't know that's what was going on at the time) so I figured that was normal for me, maybe it's not. I don't temp, but I've been having trouble sleeping the last few nights as I've been waking up sweating out (gross) so I think I am running a little hot at the moment.

Lockdown is pretty intense... We've found ourselves arguing over the most ridiculous things. I have this awful habit of whinging about OH under my breath, as his hearing isn't great so I've always just assumed he can't hear me. Turns out he can... Oops! And yesterday eve we had a rather strange altercation with our neighbour (they hung out their bathroom window and heckled me while I was playing with the kids, I was fuming) so yes...lock down does strange things to people!! It will be over at some point though, just got to keep plodding on x

Thank you so much for all your support ladies x I honestly could not go through all the ups and downs without you x honestly I do not feel any different at all, and I haven’t to date x so please do not give up hope when you don’t feel anything at all in TWW x I’m 15 DPO for reference and the opk is definitely positive so it does work when it comes to detecting hcg, see photo attached. The brand I’m using is the easy @ home for premom app x

@Katie1109 you really deserve this lovely, like everyone else has said, just try and relax, let your OH take care of you 😉 x

@LV1987 maybe you're coming down with something? 🙁 hope you're OK? Me and DH had a row yesterday too. I think everything feels so tense and stressy right now doesn't it and doesn't help 😩

Felt my cervix this morning and it's massively dropped and solid so definitely not waiting for a late BFP, reckon AF will show tomorrow for me 🙁 grr. X

@Mumofboys17 I think we’re still both in shock x it hasn’t really sunk in on either of us x don’t worry about your cervix, even now mine seems hard x and it was still low when I had my BFP x cervix position and texture isn’t the greatest indicator x

@katie1109 @Mumofboys17 that's good to know but I just went to the bathroom and it's lower than usual and hard I was like fml! Haha I think I need to stop doing it all!! My temp has been 36.7 every single day, it's not climbing which is annoying x

@Mumofboys17 I hope I'm not getting poorly, I don't think I can manage being poorly, homeschooling, working full time and trying for a baby, something will have to give

@lv1987 yeah I guess you still need to get to know what's normal x

@Katie1109 that's a little bit reassuring! X Same @Missgoldilocks think I'm going to stop poking around up there. Been reading up on it all and tbh there's so many conflicting stories and reports about cervix positioning really meaning anything! Just going to wait for the witch to show. If by some miracle AF stays away then I'll test but feeling a bit poo about it now 😂 xx

Hi girls ttc after d&c in feb! This is my first cycle after AF what do you think about my opk?? Few more days??

@Reggieroo29 are both of those tests OPK's? If so yeah I'd say maybe a day or 2 before peak yet.

@katie1109 can I see a screen shot of your heart rate thus past 2ww please x

@Missgoldilocks that's a good temp! Mine only ever gets to 36.8 on one day which is my peak temp and the rest are around 38.6, I rise, peak and then slowly drop in my TWW which I guess just backs up my progesterone deficiency. Your temp doesn't necessarily need to go up again for a BFP it just needs to stay up :)

@Reggieroo29 I would say you'll get your peak in the next day or 2. Make sure you are testing at least twice a day

On my opk it says my number is 0.73 high does that mean I’m ovulating??

Just tested again it is 0.73 and says high
