Lucky thread number 5.... hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Morning all x hope you're all doing OK?

@LAnna20 sorry about the spotting 🙁 have you reached full flow now? Xx

@BFP2020 no haven't booked anything yet and haven't tested, just trying to get through these early weeks with as little stress as possible 😂 I'm just so tired and so hungry!! I desperately want sweet stuff which is weird as with DS I was totally opposite. I made DH bring me some chocolate cookies back late last night 😂 xx

@Missgoldilocks hope you're ok my lovely? I've been thinking about you loads!! Just wish I could take the stress away for you, I so badly want you to get your BFP, we've come so far!! xxx

@LAnna20 sorry to hear that, has it turned I to a period? I hope its some sort of IB for you. Yes due Sunday and getting very impatient xx

@Mumofboys17 hey gorgeous, thanks a lot 🤗 we really have its been one big roller-coaster hasn't it! Well no symptoms which I know can go either way, had my usual 8dpo cramps but then last night at 10dpo I was really hot and I had cramps that were keeping me up for a bit. Woke up middle of night went wee and had to turn the fan on I was so hot. That could just be pms though so who knows, maybe tomorrow morning I'll do a test to see either way but I don't have much hope xx

@Missgoldilocks trying so hard not to jump on the crazy gang symptom spotting train.... 😬😂 but.. I have to say, hot flashes have been a real thing for me the last few weeks! Literally out of no where I get very hot and sweaty and have to get a fan on or get outside for 5 mins. I was like 'surely I'm too young for the menopause yet' 😂 you never know!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xxx

@Mumofboys17 @Missgoldilocks still spotting at the moment but I usually have it for atleast 2 days so I expect it will be full flow tomorrow. Hope your both doing ok xx

@Mumofboys17 Your being very strong I dunno how your doing it I used my last digi this morning and got 3+ so feel like I can relax until tuesday until my scan. I craved Sweet on my DD so maybe your having a girl this time
@LAnna20 Hoping full flow hasn't arrived??

@Missgoldilocks I'm literally hoping you get your BFP this weekend

@Mumofboys17😬😬😬🤞🤞🤞🤞 maybe maybe maybe I'd be sooooooo fucking happy to be pregnant this month and have a baby due on my birthday 😩 literally I'd bloody cryyyyy from happiness. I'm really hoping it is a Symptom I'm really really hoping upon hoping xx

@LAnna20 Ahhh well I hope it stays away!! I'm okay just impatiently waiting x

@BFP2020 thanks chick as I said above I'm really praying that I do 😭😭🤞🤞😬😬

Hey all how are we?
I woke up today feeling sad lol had a little cry, yesterday I had period cramps and just felt shit. Then I had a crazy stabbing pain in my right ovary it didn't feel good 🙄 dunno if maybe it was like a cyst bursting or something but it didn't make me excited either way. I haven't spotted like I have done for a few of my last cycles after a bm from 11dpo which is good. I decided I need to try and think okay I might not get pregnant but at least in jnauary we can start doing something about it, I also just booked a weekend get away to Italy with my OH first weekend of October which is a fertile weekend so I have something to look forward to and lose some more weight for! I think it will just help that I have something to look forward to! Xxx

@Missgoldilocks I think that's a really good and positive way to think about it. And definitely helps having something to look forward to! Hopefully this is all good signs.. your AF is due this weekend isn't it? Not much longer to go in limbo 🤞🏻 xxx

I'm ok, I'm so up and down, I keep feeling a bit crampy and bloated. The hot flashes are getting worse 😫 I've had 2 really bad ones at my desk at work today and it's so hard to play it down as my colleagues still don't know yet 😬 xx

@Mumofboys17 your cramps, do they feel like normal cramps or are they stronger? When your af was due where they soft or normal etc?? Thanks, I agree I need something to not feel so absolutely crap every month so I think it's best I just look towards January and if it happens before then hooray (hopefully I continue to feel like this 😂😂)
Ahh bless you that would do my nut in 😩 when will you be telling them after the 12 week scan? The first trimester symptoms can be crazy xx

@Missgoldilocks my cramps were intermittent, sometimes hardly there at all but there was one night very early on where it was like sharp pain on my right side. It came and went and only for an hour or so, like pulsating, then didn't happen like that again. I do still get some cramping now, it's more like trapped wind feeling 😂 best I can describe it sorry haha xx

I'm really unsure when to tell everyone.. I get on really well with the girls at work but our boss recently lost a baby, so it's all a bit of a sensitive subject right now and I don't want to be all insensitive about it and happy when that's just happened 😣 I've already told my boss because I couldn't bare the thought of her hearing it from someone else and wanted to get ahead of the game. She was so lovely and supportive about it, it's just a really difficult one xx

@Mumofboys17 don't get me excited 😅😅😬😬😬 that pulsating pain sounds like what I had but I only had it for a few mins, then I felt it dull after that. Anyway Sunday I'm due so we will see!
Ahh yeah I get that, good that you got in there first I think what you did was the best thing :) xx

Hi all ,so AF arrived in full force today, I knew she was on her way the minute the spotting started so I've come to terms with it now. On to a new month.
@Missgoldilocks well done on looking at the positive, it's so difficult , I have everything crossed that you will be another August BFP though.

Hope everyone else is ok x

@LAnna20 sorry that af got you 💖🤗 I think ill be joining that af gang tomorrow I had bad cramps last night and leading up to, cm the same as usual and cervix is low and super hard x

@LAnna20 sorry the witch got you ❤️ hope you have the ability to give yourself some TLC this weekend xx

@Missgoldilocks right you - stop poking that bloody cervix!! 😂 mine was the same before my BFP, VERY low and solid, and then felt the same again a week or so after I found out I was pregnant! I also had no change in cm either. You're not out til AF shows so just try and take it easy! Xxx

Thank you @Missgoldilocks and @Mumofboys17 😘.
Hope you are both doing ok. Do you have any recommendations for OPKs? As much as I don't really want to use them I think I need to give them another go given my cycles are not regular. Atleast then I will know I'm doing all I can xx

@LAnna20 although I didn't 'successfully' use them this time, with DS I fell using the cheap One Step OPK's, you can buy them in bulk from amazon or eBay. Don't bother with the CB digital ones they're mega expensive and (in my opinion) not worth it as I feel you're much more likely to miss your surge with them. Whereas with the cheapies when you're getting close to O day you can test 3 times a day so you don't miss it 😊 xx

Afs here for me so that's that. Onto the next cycle 😣

@Mumofboys17 thank you, I'll give them a try. I tried the CB digital ones for a cycle and couldn't get on with them and they are sooo expensive! X

@Missgoldilocks so sorry to hear she arrived, I know how rubbish it makes you feel . Hope you can treat yourself to something nice today. Here is to the next cycle and hopefully it will be our month 😘 x

@LAnna20 and @Missgoldilocks sorry to hear your both out this cycle hang in there guys it will happen for us 😘

@Missgoldilocks bugger ☹️ so sorry lovely I'm just so gutted for you. Let yourself be sad, then pick yourself up again and carry on. It WILL happen for you, and all the others!! ❤️ I hope you're ok xxx

@LAnna20 same I spent an absolute fortune on those digital ones and it made zero difference for me 😫 get a good stash of the cheapies in and happy peeing! 😂 xx

@LAnna20 @Mumofboys17 @Danni2019 thanks girls. I'm being stupid and wondering why I've only got brown discharge when this morning I had a big spot of red blood. 🙄 Torture honestly and I do it to myself hoping it's something else.
My mum just came over and the first thing she told me was that my cousin was pregnant I was like wow thanks I just got my period today so not really what I want to be hearing about.
That's just me being honest, anyway even though I told her that she still went on to tell me how my cousin got pregnant and they wasn't even trying.
I just thought wow I spent most of the morning crying my eyes out and then I hear this shit 😩🤦‍♀️
I'm okay though I just can't deal.

Hope everyone else is okay and hopefully we will get our bfps soon xx

Thanks @Danni2020 😘
@Missgoldilocks has the brown spotting continued? X

@Missgoldilocks remember my weird AF before my BFP? I do half think it was anxiety related (I was so stressed out it was unreal) but it was like it just wouldn't get started? The bleeding was more (tmi warning) thick and gloopy, and not enough to fill a tampon really, just mostly on wiping and sometimes just enough to mark a pad.
Never happened to me before but it was definitely odd. Maybe it's a good omen? 🤞🏻😘 xxx

Meant to add - sorry about the shit timing of hearing your cousins news as well 🙁 does your mum know you're trying? As hurtful as it is I'm sure she didn't mean it to come across as spiteful as it felt, those who have never been in this position don't really understand it. You're stronger than you know xxx

@LAnna20 it's weird, this morning when I strained there was a spot of red blood but nothing after, put a pad in and it was just a spot of brown discharge for the whole day. Nothing when I wipe but still a little but if brown discharge if I check my cervix. I'm guessing my body is being a dick because normally Sunday means red flow, it's still Sunday so still time for af to start x

@Mumofboys17 yes saying that I do remember! She knows I'm trying 🙄 she's just bitchy xx
