Morning ladies x how is everyone doing? I’m 7 DPO today with af due next weekend x getting close to FRER territory but will try to hold off from testing as long as I can x no symptoms to report really x

@Katie1109 morning 😊 feeling a bit low today as it's Mother's Day and I'm home alone with DS all day, DH is working and my family cancelled our plans as they're all self isolating 🙁
I'm 6 or 7dpo today. I'm still on the fence as to whether I actually ovulated last Sunday or Monday so kind of makes me feel better if I say both 😂
I very nearly did a FRER this morning 🙄 zero symptoms and feel like I'm out anyway! So refrained for now. Hoping I can make it a few more days as no symptoms here either xx

@Mumofboys17 happy mothers day ❤️💐💐 sorry you feel low ❤️ it is pretty crap considering we can't even go anywhere.

I got my solid smiley last night and felt my cervix go up and soft. We dtd Friday late like 3am and last night. I don't think I'll get another out of him I can't lie lol do you think that will be good enough? Ideally I should do it tonight I know but it just won't happen... Xx

@Mumofboys17 @katie1109 we are pretty much at the same time! I'm 9DPO but I am expecting AF any time... I'm now more of a 26 day cycle kind of girl and not gone past 28 days and today is CD27. Had some mild AF cramps this morning while DTD 🙈🙈🙈

@Missgoldilocks happy Mother's Day!! And to all the other mummies on here 💕 I know this is a really really odd thing to suggest BUT, have you thought about self insemination? I'm thinking of your OH here... I'm not sure if it would take some pressure off finishing if it's not actual sex? It might be more stressful I don't know..? At least then it doesn't always have to be sex you know? Totally unsexy but I know its something I'd consider (I'd consider anything right now)

@Beau20 I have!! In the beginning we did it but in a amateur way lol just used a syringe! But I was looking at the kits today's and told oh actually I think it's a great idea! He said maybe, so perhaps if we don't catch this month I'll definitely buy that. It goes straight into the cervix which is pretty cool! He'd have to know what he's doing though I'd make him watch videos 😂 definitely a good idea though and I'd try anything right about now too!! The pressure is too much for the both of us x

@Missgoldilocks thank you xxx
I've just sat and had a cry to myself, one of my friends had her 2nd baby today and just sent me some pics. I'm so happy for her and it's lovely, just also feels a bit like being kicked when I'm down 😣 she knows we're TTC as well.
Just a shit day altogether. I haven't even bothered getting dressed today, F it.
Roll on Christmas 🙁

@Mumofboys17 awww hunnie I'm really sorry you're feeling like this today 🤗🤗 please feel better get a cuddle from your cats 😻 it's shit I know Ttc is so stressful and heartbreaking! Someone just gave birth on my time line and of course I'm happy for them but I can't really look at it all because it makes me feel more down! Xx

@Missgoldilocks sorry to vent 🙈 xx
I just know you ladies actually understand!! I've had to refrain from eating every chocolate and unhealthy item in the house (as lord knows when we'll be able to get to a shop and actually replace it!! 🙄) another reason I reckon AF is on her way as I always get moody and crave chocolate just before 🙁

I need a slap and to be told to get a hold of myself 😂😂 DS woke up from his nap all happy and wants plenty of cuddles (for now) so making the most of it 😊 he's going through a 'daddy' phase at the moment. I almost always put him to bed, last night he told me to go away and cried for daddy 😭 broke my heart!!

@Missgoldilocks ahh that's good!! It actually (weirdly) looms quite exciting. I would so be up for self insemination but again really unsexy. To be honest, I wish from the start we'd kept sex as sex and just done inseminated me for a baby 😂😂😂

@Mumofboys17 oh bless you! He will get over it, all kids go through a clingy mummy or daddy phase. Although I imagine it's so hard to swallow when it's not you! I know it's not a child by my dog has ALWAYS favoured OH so I'm used to not being wanted 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂

@Beau20 hahaha aww that made me smile, bless you!! I bf DS for about 18 months, so he's always cried for me or boobie 😂 (he's 2 and a half now) but up until the last week he's always been a mummy's boy.
I think because DH has changed day jobs recently and he's home a lot more so spends more time with DS, plus DH is a total soft touch and gives DS almost anything he wants 🙄😂

@Mumofboys17 awww that would break my heart too!! Just remember it's a phase! Still bloody hard though. We all get down, it's bound to happen in this particular struggle but we are all here for each other xxx

On another note I managed to get sex in during the day! Well proud of myself lol now Im happy that we defo did it on every day needed haha x

@Missgoldilocks woohoooo well chuffed for you!! At least you can sleep soundly knowing you've covered all bases during FW.

@katie1109 @Mumofboys17 we need a BFP, we've not had one in months!!! You girls are next up eeeek!

@Missgoldilocks ahhh yes!! Well done!! (Literally congratulating you on getting the D) but yay!!! Fingers crossed it'll be good news in a couple weeks!🤞🏻

@Beau20 I know, spent all weekend at home too so I've done nothing but think about it!! Back at work tomorrow though so will keep me busy for another day 😬 cm has all dried up now though. All the reading I've done says this happens before AF shows 😣 doing myself NO favours 😂😂

@Mumofboys17 that's really weird because mine is also none existent today!! I've had soooo much of that horrible thick stuff for about a week. It was vile. Today nothing. Weirdly mine changes all the time. Checked back on last cycle and mine was really heavy before AF but nothing right after ovulation. This cycle I'm the other way around. Other cycles I remember being completely dry all the way from ovulation to AF 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@Beau20 @Mumofboys17 Ahhh thanks girls!! I am really happy we managed it lol fingers crossed we have some good news in a few weeks...
Hoping af stays away for the both of you!

@Beau20 I wish I could have some hope that this is my month, but I’ve got literally zero symptoms so I don’t think it will be me x on another hand I got drunk last night, well I tried but literally nothing was going to conquer me 😂 I know I shouldn’t be drinking in TWW it just happened, don’t judge please! 🤦‍♀️

@Missgoldilocks me too 🤞🏻

@Katie1109 err, sorry, have you just joined this thread 🤔😉 no judgement whatsoever! It's not like you're 8 months gone and downing 5 bottles of wine lol, in all seriousness I deffo don't have any problem with it xxx

Defo no judgment - I'm drinking Pina Coladas on a Sunday 😂

@LV1987 OMG I LOOVEEE a pina colada!! 😍

Not sure this is too relevant at this point, but just seen on fb our local hospital's antenatal dept have said any ultrasound scans will now only be open to the name of the patient in the letter, no visitors allowed 😮 imagine going for your first scan all alone!
I get why, but just shocked me a bit! X

@Mumofboys17 also spent Mother's Day alone with my son as my partner was on a 12 hour shift so not so exciting either but made it into a fun day for me and him well I tried anyway. CD23 for me so 5 more days until AF due but think I'm out already too. Always get cramps around now and pink discharge too. Hoping my thyroid medication next cycle brings me good luck x

@Katie1109 actually jealous of
your drinking right now. Went to pick up a bottle of wine at the shops yesterday and they were sold out. @LV1987 I so want a pina colada now! X

Hi ladies- pregnancy tests all getting darker and I’ll be phoning the gp today. Just wanted to let you guys that are feeling down about having no symptoms that I had absolutely NONE before bfp! Less than any other month tbh. So don’t worry- you’re not out until AF comes. I will probably hop off the thread now but wanted to say it has been an amazing support for me feeling you guys were here. I have read every day. It took us 6 months which I know is not a lot on the scheme of things but at times I felt very down and it helped a lot to check in with you lovely people. I will still check in from time to time to see you guys get your BFPs- it WILL happen girls!!!! So much love and respect for all you courageous ladies xxxxxxx

And thank you so much. Women working together are the best aren’t they? 💖

Thanks ladies x we always have plenty of alcohol in case of unexpected guests, which is not gonna happen anytime soon so may as well use it 😂
Working from home is doing my head in already 😭
I’m 8DPO today and have zero symptoms. Weirdly even my boobs are not hurting considering af is due on Saturday but this might be the result of taking primrose up to ovulation, it is meant to minimise PMS symptoms. I haven’t got any ICs and only 1 FRER. I have just done an opk and this is what it looks like hmmm 🤔

@Snowwhite2020 thanks for checking in 😊 lovely to hear all is going well for you! And I can't remember if I actually said it before so MASSIVE congratulations!! ❤️
The no symptoms part gives me a little hope 😂 trying so hard not to completely give up but likewise don't want to give myself any false hope either. Need to find that middle ground!!

Feel free to check in with us still, would love to hear how you get on!! All the best ❤️❤️
