Having a bit of an emotional day me and dh had decided to stop ttc while the coronavirus is about but this was after we dtd a few times before ovulation I know my chances are slim but I've been having cramps since 7/8dpo until today 11/12dpo but very slight now only if I move I can feel the odd sharp pain my back is aching but other than that no other symptoms af due on Saturday but I usually get quiet bad sore boobs about a week before she arrives and I've had the odd tingly sensation here and there but no full on pain if love to be pregnant I crave it and it's leaving me so emotional being in limbo with this coronavirus going on! I have frers coming tomorrow but frightened to take them but would love to know either way! Any advice would be welcome 😢

Oh bless you that must've been such a difficult decision to make for you both.
Early cramping can be a positive sign and it was definitely something I noticed when I was ttc for this pregnancy. When is AF due again? I would try and use your tests ASAP if your close to and just so you can put your mind at ease ❤️

NicoleR14 · 25/03/2020 18:38

Thank you for replying! Af is due on the 28th so this Saturday I will be 12/13dpo tomorrow so will be taking one of the tests when they come! Im hoping the cramping is a good sign I've still got it on and off but could be af cramps as well ttc is so difficult sometimes❤️ how has your pregnancy been! Congratulations btw 🥳

Morning @NicoleR14
That’s a really hard decision to make ❤️ How are you feeling today?

I’m exactly the same as you. I will be 13 dpo on Saturday and will have to take a test then. I’ve been trying for 20 months so stopped taking pregnancy tests about 14 months in as I decided it wasn’t worth the heartbreak and I would just wait for AF.

Normally I would just do the same strategy but I’m a key worker. I’ve been off this week as I told my boss that I was in the tww. She’s been amazing and told me to stay at home until I knew but I have to test Saturday so they know wether to put me on the rota for Monday.

Good luck for your test ❤️
Congratulations to you as well @november90 😊❤️

bernardswatchplease · 26/03/2020 07:42

I'm in the EXACT same scenario. Testing at ten DPO Saturday and again Sunday Monday

november90 · 26/03/2020 07:48

Well with this pregnancy I tested on the Monday (Asda test) and had a BFN, I tested again in the Thursday (spare Asda test) and has a bfp! So please don't be disheartened if you don't get a bfp, you're not out u TIL you're out :) FRER are a lot more accurate though and my line was much stronger on that test :)

My pregnancy has been lovely. I was very sickly and headachy to begin with but after that settled down I've felt a lot better :) Unfortunately my husband (who I already share a little boy with) walked out on me at 24 weeks so mentally this pregnancy has been tough and I feel so vulnerable! But I'm trying my best to remain positive and enjoy the next few weeks as I do love being pregnant and I'll miss my bump so much ❤️

Good luck ladies! I'll keep it all crossed for you, please update us when you can 😀

NicoleR14 · 26/03/2020 09:37

@leodot thank you❤️ I hope you get your bfp this month! You deserve it that's such a long time I felt like it's been ages for us with it being 6 months! It's hard not to get so upset over it have you been seen by the doctors about it yet?

OP posts:
NicoleR14 · 26/03/2020 09:38

@november90 so sorry to hear that that must of been so hard for you but you are very strong for keeping your head up and keeping going ❤️ all this with the coronavirus must be hard as well especially for getting out and getting what you need I hope your doing okay!

OP posts:
NicoleR14 · 26/03/2020 09:39

@bernardswatchplease love your name 😂! Hopefully you get your bfp this month too❤️!

OP posts:
bernardswatchplease · 26/03/2020 09:58

I have sucked mixed feelings about a BFP this month since my husband is now facing so many doubts. I only wanted a BFP under happy circumstances

NicoleR14 · 26/03/2020 10:20

@bernardswatchplease we are the same I'd love a bfp this month but terrified of it all I have lupus and with having lupus catching coronavirus is quiet scary not only would I have problems during pregnancy on my own without all this so me and my dh is concerned about it so we have stopped ttc but we have dtd before ovulation and after this month so there is still a chance and I'd love it but at the same time very scared of it all

OP posts:
Leodot · 26/03/2020 11:15

@NicoleR14
Ah that does sound difficult and there is a lot to think about. Hopefully things with corona virus will start to improve soon and you can get back to trying. You never know, you might even get it this month, which I know is scary but you would be a high priority pregnancy so I’m sure they would look after you ❤️
I’ve been under the fertility clinic since October and started my first round of medication in February after they’d finished testing everything and found the problem. I think I’m even more nervous about this one as it feels like it should have worked because I’m taking pills now and they’ve actually confirmed ovulation for the first ever time. Will just have to hope.

@november90 I’m really sorry that’s happened. I’m glad your pregnancy has been so lovely and I hope you’ve got people that can support you over the next few months.

@bernardswatchplease Good luck and I hope you get your BFP ❤️

karenkeys · 26/03/2020 19:46

Hi all, I’m testing this weekend although AF isn’t due until early next week. I’m having a break from TTC for the next month or so if I haven’t been successful this month.

I’ve got mixed feelings at the moment. I’d love a BFP because my husband and me are ready to start our family and I’m in my 30s and I’m running out of time. But of course we have concerns over the virus and know it’s not going to be the happy pregnancy I had hoped for (at least not the first trimester anyway). Trying to keep positive though. Hope you are all feeling ok 👌

november90 · 26/03/2020 19:52

Awww thanks for the comments girls! This year has been such a stinker so far but once this virus ordeal is over I intend to make the most of everything :)

How did you testers get on today?

Leodot · 27/03/2020 13:32

Hello lovely ladies,

Sadly it’s a bfn for me this month. Tested yesterday and got negative. Feeling quite crampy today which is right on time for AF to show up tomorrow. Ah well.

Good luck to everyone else and let us know how you get on ❤️ Would love to hear some good news. xxx

bernardswatchplease · 27/03/2020 15:46

I got a bfn on a FRER with first morning urine at 9dpo today. I know that's early to test but it was stark white (something I'm getting more and more used to whilst TTC) and I also have all my usual feelings that AF is on the way. I feel a bit heartbroken as this was an attempt for a sibling for my toddler and now the age gap might be huge

karenkeys · 27/03/2020 18:18

@bernardswatchplease feel your pain I am 9 DPO and had nothing on a FRER this morning too ☹️ feel like I’m doing something wrong but I know it’s silly to think that.

Littlepeas2 · 27/03/2020 19:54

Hey ladies. I am due AF Monday. I did a clear blue early detection test today but not until around 4 which was probably a bit stupid at it was a BFN. But I’m 11dpo and you are both still 9dpo so you have a huge chance yet! Have either of you had any symptoms?
@bernardswatchplease @karenkeys

bernardswatchplease · 27/03/2020 22:50

No symptoms for me apart from the AF symptoms like normal :(

karenkeys · 28/03/2020 07:20

@Littlepeas2 only symptom I have is tender breasts, which can be normal for me a week before AF so I wouldn’t think it’s a sign of pregnancy.

NicoleR14 · 28/03/2020 07:37

Af is due today and had a bfn this morning after getting what I thought was vvvfls on frer and one step but it must of just been wishful thinking on my behalf feeling extremely sick and my nipples have changed colour and my breasts have double in size which has made me believe I am pregnant and I feel so silly for thinking it! I get pms so I shouldn't really rely on any changes to my body but it can't be helped, how's everyone else doing?

OP posts:
bernardswatchplease · 28/03/2020 07:58

Another BFN for me this morning. So upset

NicoleR14 · 28/03/2020 10:24

It is really upsetting! We will get our bfp one day❤️

OP posts:
Littlepeas2 · 28/03/2020 10:39

@bernardswatchplease when is AF due? X

bernardswatchplease · 28/03/2020 11:39

I'm 10DPO today so I know statistically I'm still in with a Chance as I'm not due on for 3/4 days. But I know if I was pregnant I'd see a very very faint line on a FRER by now and all my symptoms are classic AF symptoms

bernardswatchplease · 28/03/2020 11:40

I know I'm lucky as this is trying for baby two, but baby one was so easy and only took 2 months with a perfect smooth pregnancy. I feel antsy that it's taking longer this time
