[Sausage1990]

Thought I'd best start a new thread. I'm. It great at keeping track of the conversation all but i don't want to loose track of you all 💕
@Franklydear @MrsEmilyB @SmileyT @Juno231 @babyg123

Oh girls! I took a IC this morning and had a squinter so did a FRER 🙊 10DPO

I’ve all of a sudden come over a bit sick! Haha! Might be the shock though as I have no symptoms. Maybe it’s not real!?

That definitely looks real @orangej !!! Congratulations 🥳

@OrangeJ that's what mine looked like yesterday at 10dpo! Congratulations! Xx

@Sausage1990 at least you got in there and DTD though. I know how awfully frustrating it is having to start your tww when you thought you already had it! 😒 I had nausea in my previous cycle randomly too, I think our bodies play cruel tricks on us! Really hope it catches x

@RobinRose oh bless you. Sometimes it feels like the world is saying “f* you!” Doesn’t it 😂 hope you’re migraine goes away soon. I’m ok, on cd6 and already bored 🤣

@OrangeJ yay! Congratulations 🎉🎉✨

@OrangeJ congratulations 🥳

@OrangeJ congratulations!! 🥳

@Newbie0818 it certainly does! Oh bless you, it’s a horrible waiting game isn’t it? I think I’m just pissed off in general because I don’t know for certain where I am in my cycle 😑 roll on June 🙄😂

Yay congratulations @OrangeJ!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Yes @newbie0818 it definitely feels rubbish, although it's kinda reassuring to know you've been through something similar and alot of us are experiencing messed up cycles at the moment. And yes I hope it catches... It only takes 1 time so 🤞🏻

@OrangeJ huge congratulations!! 🥳💕

@Sausage1990 It does seem like a late ovulation doesn’t it? So annoying when our bodies just decide to throw an extra spanner in the works, but it’s good that you DTD on CD49 and CD53 which should hopefully cover all bases 🤞

@RobinRose I hope your migraine eases up for you today soon 💕

@orangej congratulations!! 🎉 🎉 Give us a recap pls? Cycle, tracking methods, bird poop etc 😁

@Sausage1990 that's so frustrating! I'm really sorry for you, I was so hoping it was just a weird bfp! Fingers crossed this one sticks though 🤞

@OrangeJ great news! And at 10dpo... that isn't even a squinted!

*squinter

@RobinRose I feel your pain there! Hopefully you’ll get some answers soon.

@Sausage1990 I definitely think the stress of covid has contributed to weird cycles. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Indeed.

@RobinRose @SmileyT thank you! There's been nothing since which is a little strange as I don't usually spot, but I'm not thinking anything of it as I'm sure she will no doubt show her face soon!

@OrangeJ congratulations!! I'm also 10DPO, but with spotting last night I didn't take a test this morning. Lovely line as well!

@OrangeJ - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!🎉🎉🎉 This truly is the luckiest of all busses.

Sorry I've been a bit quiet girls. I hope you're all okay. I've been feeling really anxious today and yesterday now that we are in that awful bit of the 2ww where you symptom spot like an insane woman.

I'm 8dpo today. I've had some very, very minor brown spotting. It's barely there. I never spot between periods and last month I did so I got really excited when I had pale pink spotting, but it resulted in a BFN and a really weird, light period, so I just see it as a bit doom and gloom now. DH and I worked out this morning that a DC would be born at such a perfect time if I fell this cycle. As you know, we can't try next month and past that gives a summer baby which is less ideal for us, but obviously still wanted! I just feel like all my heart and hopes are pinned here.

Ugh. I was doing so well on staying chill until last night - then I cried hysterically because I couldn't do some simple maths and had a giggle fit over an old leek I found in the cupboard. I feel AF may be coming for me 😂 I've lost the plot.

@OrangeJ - anything different this cycle? Symptoms leading to the bfp? Tell all!

@RobinRose I hope your migraine has eased. As someone recommended to me last week - hot water bottle on your feet and ice pack on the back of your neck! Seems to help relieve xxx

Thanks girls. Im not sure whether to tell DH yet as it’s his birthday next Tuesday and think it would be fun to surprise him...but that’s a long time to not tell him! We normally tell each other everything. What would you do!? Maybe I could give him an early birthday present and then his birthday can be focused just on him. I really don’t know!

We’ve been trying since December, but long cycles means this was my 3rd and have been doing BBT and OPKs.

I have no symptoms other than lower back ache (practically tailbone) on Friday and today, but that’s not uncommon for me so not sure if that’s PG related. No implantation bleeding, no implantation dip, no unusual pains...nothing! Maybe I’ve been slightly emotional...I was listening to Alicia Keys book on Saturday and kept welling up. BUT she is an amazing woman!

Only thing I did differently this month was drinking grapefruit juice but I didn’t notice any difference in my ewcm so don’t think that really did anything. Also only BD two days before and day before ovulation! Really wasn’t expecting it and still feels very unreal.

I’ve never told anyone this before but 6 years ago we had an accident and by some miracle the one time he didn’t pull out we ended up conceiving (we got very carried away in a secluded beach in Kefalonia!). We were not ready then financially, career-wise, life-experience-wise and would not have been able to give a child the life we wanted to, so sadly had a termination. I was really worried this might have had an impact on conceiving now but seems it was ok. Just wanted to say that in case anyone else is in a similar position and worrying too.

I really hope the rest of you get you BFPs so soon! ✨

It’s early days so I’ll be sticking around just in case and to (try to!) keep up with you all! X

Hey ladies congrats to all the BFPs 😆

So I just popped to my local Superdrug's for frer I know I said I would get one yesterday but had too many errands.

When would be a good time to test? No sign of AF- but getting twinges which isn't like AF as I just come on heavily without any warning usually during morning. Should I wait to test tomorrow morning or get straight into it? X

@CaramelTart23 I have no self control so would do it straight away but I'm sure others would tell you to wait until morning

@OrangeJ I think I'd go down the early birthday present route I tell my OH everything don't think I'd be able to keep it to myself 😊

So I’m currently sat here panicking because I’ve just had dinner (I know it’s early but I’m super hungry) and had soy sauce and I keep seeing people say not to have it when TTC

I’m now kicking myself that I’ve ruined my chance this month... but equally trying to tell myself that surely having soy sauce one evening during the TWW couldn’t have THAT much of an impact?! Could it?

😩

@CaramelTart23 I would wait until morning (lol @BabyDust13)- longer for hcg to build up so hopefully you can get a clear answer! Although I have also heard of some people who test early getting better lines in the evening. Either way hold your pee for a few hours! Good luck!

@MrsEmilyB sorry you're down, this ttc us such a rollercoaster- the littlest thing can tip you up or down. Try some meditation / yoga?

@OrangeJ - I'd like to say wait until his birthday, but I probably couldn't haha!!

@CaramelTart23 - how many dpo are you? They say FMU is best but if you can't wait then hold pee for a couple of hours.

@MoonW - people all over the world, who eat a little soy sauce daily concieve, so don't worry!! Unless you drank the bottle (and even if you did, just the once) im sure it'll be fine!

@skyla01 - thank you. I've done about an hour of yoga over a few different times today. It calms me for a while and when it creeps back I do some more. Just had a really good 30 min session and I'm going for a nice hot shower now, feeling much better 😊thank you. How are you getting on?

@Skyla01 @MoonW 😂😂 I'm dyingggg to test I can't hold it in. I tried to fling the box over my cupboard but the POAS addict in me grabbed a chair and got it down again 😩😩

@MrsEmilyB I'm 12dpo currently but I have a short cycle according to Flo I was meant to start my period yesterday but I have just added an extra day and still no AF in site. Usually AF shows her ugly face in the morning hence why ideally would like to wait till tomorrow morning.

BUT- I'm 12dpo and had a faint BFP on a cassette test yesterday... so feeling quite anxious to do the test 😩

@OrangeJ if you have the self control I would wait until his birthday! Huge congratulations 🥳 ! Your last post has given me a little hope again. I’m 11 DPO and not had a single symptom.

@MoonW I read about the soy on here and immediately started to panic as I only drink soya milk. Like the others have said we are ok as long as we don’t go OTT with the soy.

@MrsEmilyB Sorry you’re feeling down. I have really struggled with this months TWW too but found going for a walk, yoga and reading have worked in keeping me distracted for a little while.
