Apologies if I missed anyone!! ❤️❤️

@Mumofboys17 So sorry AF got you :( Hoping for a better cycle 10!

@Missgoldilocks I'm good, thank you for asking! Coming up to 10 weeks now, but I still don't have a scan date so that's a bit annoying. I have my booking in phone call with the midwife on Friday.

@Katie1109 I agree if you can hold off until 8 weeks that'll be so much better and you'll actually see something baby shaped. I went at what I thought was 6+5 weeks and they dated me at 5-6 weeks and all I saw was a blob with a ring next to it. Symptom wise I've not been too bad. I was exhausted to start with, and smelling everything. About 6 weeks the sickness crept in. I'm already feeling much better now but that's making me anxious! I also bypass the GP completely, our trust has an online form that you fill in which goes direct to the midwives and they book you in.

@LV1987 have you got any internet cheapies to use instead? If find these easier/less stressful/more relatable when you have all over the place cycles. It might be worth getting a few to use along side the digital?

@Mumofboys17 gah sorry about AF lovely, you are joining me on (hopefully) lucky cycle #10!! In all fairness, we've not done it at all in FW the last 2 cycles, the last time we did it bang on the right time, I had a chemical so this cycle I'm not going to track again but I'm just gonna shag him senseless soooooo 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@Katie1109 I know it's so so hard but don't worry about the symptoms. I know you want them as a sign of sometime but trust me you'll hate it when they arrive! As I said, 1st pregnancy nothing at all ever. 2nd was a killer from 6 weeks, the sickness, my boobs were like hard rocks even walking felt like they were gonna burst and the pure smell of my OH and his aftershave made me sick. I used to make him shower twice 😂😂😂 you've got this lovely, you deserve it so much and this is your baby and it's not going anywhere - keep reminding yourself that 💪🏼

Thank you so much for all the support ladies x I am just anxious because I don’t want to fail again x I’ve made myself feel a bit better with another test and seeing this line being so strong on clear blue it gave me a bit more hope x 🤞🤞 I would have given up ages ago if it wasn’t for you crazy gang xx
@Beau20 I hope I won’t start to hate OH aftershave, because I love it lol 😂

Thanks @Beau20 I think I will add cheapies into the mix next month. I'll keep an eye on things for the remainder of this month, but I think I'm going to mark it down to experience and move on! I have been looking at the tests after ejecting them, and from what I can decipher from other peoples after getting a static smiley, I am getting further away from it rather than closer to it... So confusing 😑

Love the shag him senseless approach - I've been trying that myself, but I just don't feel sexy right now. I feel fat, dumpy and ungroomed 😂😂 need to regain my mojo!!

Cor @Katie1109, that's some lovely line porn!!!!

@LV1987 hahahaha omg EXACTLY how I feel. I've started to put some effort in, I'm wearing a bit of makeup, washing my hair etc etc. I did fake tan for the first time in 3 years. Im white as ghost and he's lovely dark and foreign plus I always feel super model skinny with a tan. Anyway it was the biggest disaster ever. It's all over my hands, it won't come off and I just look like I've been rolling around in the dirt for a week 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Katie1109 eeek what a lovely line!!! You've made me al happy and positive!!

Ah ladies I'm at that point in the 2ww where I'm hoping upon hoping we got lucky! 9dpo today no symptoms lol but in my head I'm like pleaaasseee 😭 my cat was being extra clingy yesterday and i thought maybe he can sense pregnancyyyyy but I'm just going overboard 😅 he's normal clingy today haha😞🙄 xx

@Beau20 😂😂 my partner is very olive toned and his children are mixed race (Thai) so even when I have a tan I look pasty! They're all so beautiful and I'm like this dumpy little odd one out... God I hope our babies get his genes 😂

I am in agony with cramps again at the moment, but no more pink CM, and no blood - so if this is what ovulation feels like as opposed to AF coming mate I don't want it 🤦‍♀️

@Missgoldilocks we are well overdue BFPs on here! We've had what, 1 this year?? I'm keeping every single part of my body (except my legs) crossed for you!

@LV1987 oh my I bet they are GORGEOUS! I love a bit of foreign blood. I'm like you, praying my severe albino does not cancel out OHs lovely South American bloodlines and we have caramel babies 🤞🏼😂 his auntie had a son with an English guy and he came out as English as English comes. But then again she's not as dark or foreign looking as my OH.

@Beau20 they are ridiculously good looking and very photogenic...I never considered myself ugly until I became their step mummy 😂 I also never considered myself albino until then...I always thought I had a lovely tan until we went to Cuba and I came back whiter than I left 🤦‍♀️😑

Hey lovelies, just checking in, who’s due to test? 😘

I had my 20 weeks scan, he’s looking good, so cute!!

@Katie1109 don’t worry I didn’t have any noticeable symptoms till I was around 6 weeks, even now I don’t particularly have any, everyone’s different. Baby is kicking now so I know he’s in there 😂 xx

Xxx ❤️

@Sunflower2019 awwww so cute 🥰🥰 hope you’re doing well x thanks for reassurances x I just want the next few weeks to fly by so I can get a private scan and calm myself down x

@Sunflower2019 awwww!! So cute! It's ellsbells112 BTW I changed my name I dunno if I said before to you 🤗 that's so lovely honestly bless you xx
I'm 9dpo today so over the weekend will be testing time!! Xx

@Sunflower2019 awwwww soooo cute!! Glad to hear you and baby are doing well - how fast has that gone, 20 weeks! 😱 xxx

Well a really good friend of mine just announced she is pregnant and it has hit me hard tonight. Why is it so difficult when people close to you announce it. Having a little cry and trying to think of a way to get out of our zoom chat we organised for Friday night just not sure I can actually face it now and put on a brave face 🙁

@Danni2019 I'm so sorry ❤️ that's really hard, I don't know what I'd do if a friend announced, honestly it would really hit home so I understand. Sorry you have to deal with this x

@Katie1109if it’s any consolation, I felt nothing and was worried then at around 5 weeks the sickness hit me like a sledge hammer (along with a host of other symptoms). Been very very sick unfortunately and it has made my first trimester a bit miserable. So careful what you wish for in terms of symptoms! Good luck xx Also hi to all the lovely ladies on here💕 I know you will all b getting your BFPs soon. I know and remember how hard it is waiting but it will definitely happen. Lots of love.

@Snowwhite2020 thanks x I guess I'll try to count myself lucky for now x
How are you all today ladies? @Missgoldilocks when are you planning to test? x

Morning @katie1109 x

CD22 or 24 for me today, and day 11 of the mocking flashy smiley! According to my tracker, I ovulated on CD23 last month (although I was not using OPKs so not confirmed) so I'll test again tomorrow and then throw in the towel for this month 🤷‍♀️

CM has all but dried up now, no more colour to the teeny bit that's left and RHR (graph attached) is the lowest it's been since around AF (spotting 6th April, flow 8th). My body is literally giving me no clues right now, thanks mate!

We banged this morning just in case though 🤔

I’ve been reading the thread and wanted to say, I probably had less symptoms during the 2WW when I got my BFP than any other month, so it can definitely happen even if you think it’s not your month! I remember telling my husband I was definitely out and crying 8DPO then got v faint BFP next day. 💐

I also temped and got no implantation dip but temp did remain high.

@snowwhite2020 thank you for this even though I'm probably not pregnant, I just woke up feeling sad because I don't feel pregnant I'm 10dpo but I'm not going to test because it will just break my heart. When you say high did it stay a steady high? Mines gone from 36.8 to a steady 36.6 over the last few days

@Katie1109 I won't test, bfns hurt too much I'll wait to see if af shows or if I get normal af symptoms x

@Snowwhite2020 my main obsession at the moment is whether I am actually in the 2ww or not 😂 but it is good to know that these things are not as obvious as we would like, from someone who is pregnant x

@Missgoldilocks My temp hovered between 36.6 and 36.9 but it didn’t go up and down according to a pattern. I think I took it at slightly different times some mornings and that might have affected it. Strangely, I had what looked like an implantation dip every other month other than the one I conceived and for me I did notice slightly more white Cm the month I conceived. Otherwise, I think form my experience and from reading other people’s experience if you have a month that feels slightly different for any reason then that can be a sign! For me the sign was no symptoms and no dip! Good luck 💐

@snowwhite2020 thank you x
