Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

[CaribouCarafe]

AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

I’ve got a scan booked with my ivf nurse for 29 Mar, I will be 8+1 if we stick that long 🤞

@Ughmaybenot wait til you’re pushing two out and then say that 😂 aww that’s so exciting, did you go through GP?

@Sunbird24 oh my gosh that’s not long at all! How are you feeling?

Aaah awesome @Sunbird24 not too long to wait!

@LS2020 I’ve got health shit going on which means it’ll be a c-sec so not quite as bad 😂 no, rang the midwife team direct.

I’m mostly knackered with a side serving of mild nausea. It’s not the same symptoms I had last time, but as that was a blighted ovum it means I know those were down to the progesterone they had me on. So it’s kind of good?
It feels like a very long wait, I can’t imagine if I’d not had anything until the 12 week point...

@Ughmaybenot oh that’s cool, what have they said to you?

@Sunbird24 sometimes I think there’s so much pressure on things you should be feeling and people forget that some women don’t know they’re pregnant for weeks so it’s not uncommon to have mild symptoms. Keep rested and take of yourself. It’s really not too long away and hopefully will come around quick 🤞🏻

Same @Sunbird24 been sick of an evening quite a few times now!
@LS2020 so basically Altho I think I’m 4 weeks pg (conceived on the 26th February + 2 weeks) the midwife said im 7 weeks cause they always work it off your last period, which seems mad but okay. Means I get the dating scan a little quicker I guess? Apart from that she just booked me in for my first appointment on the 1st April, when she reckons I’d be just short of 10 weeks, just a phone call to just go through all my details, history etc.

@Ughmaybenot I imagine what they’ll do is have you in at say “10 weeks”, they’ll do the scan and you’ll measure at 7 weeks and it’s that point they’ll revise your EDD for you. Just make sure you don’t go for your scan until 5 weeks after ovulation or they won’t see anything and will cause you a lot of heartache

Yea I figured that might be the case but really wasn’t sure. Thank you @LS2020 😊

How are you doing @mrswilso ?

@Ughmaybenot ahhh hope it goes well when it comes round and in the meanwhile enjoy your happy little bubble ❤️

Hiyaaa ☺️ im doing okay thank @Ughmaybenot
CD24 and think I'm probably around 6/7dpo - I've found it harder to resist POAS this cycle but I'm still holding out and reminding myself how pointlessly early it is 🤣
Hope you and @Sunbird24 are keeping well 🥰
Sending lots of love to you too @LS2020 😘

Everything crossed for you @mrswilso!
I’ve told my parents as I’m visiting them for the weekend, just as well as I’ve spent the afternoon asleep on the sofa!

Hoping I didn’t do it too soon, now having a brown discharge that I’ve never had before. Still two weeks until my scan.

@mrswilso feeling you, I’m only like 3dpo and I’ve already started googling my “symptoms”😂 though I finished work yesterday for a week off and my RHRs dropped massively, obviously relaxing, so taken that as a bad sign 😩

@Sunbird24 brown is normally okay as that’s old blood, how’s it progressed overnight?

Hahaha @LS2020 - I was actually thinking I was doing okay with not symptom spotting AT ALL so far but this morning I woke up at 6.30am for a pee (my first symptom last time) and then got up at 9am ravenous and made a bowl of muesli while I was still half asleep which I NEVER do - usually need an hour or so to wake before I'm hungry...also I'm 7/8do and I've had a nice little 1bpm drop in RHR (implantation?) and now that I think of it I defo had a pulling/stabbing in my lower back yesterday around 5pm 🤔🤣🙈
DO NOT ENCOURAGE MY CRAZINESS!!! I'll only end up sobbing in 4/5 days time 😭🤣

Yeah @Sunbird24 I'm sure brown is less worrying - it may be some old blood from implantation?? Relax today and take it easy though, try not to stress about it ❤️

@mrswilso don’t I’ve actually lost it. I’m fully convinced this month and don’t know what’s up with me. I think I’ve got a thrush infection again and same, last time I had one was the week before my BFP and swear I felt sick this morning. I’m 3dpo, my body doesn’t even know it yet, I’m being so daft 😂 I feel really smug and I’m like wtf is wrong with me?!
Finding Mother’s Day really hard though considering I should be about 30 weeks and enjoying my final months and feel I have nothing to show for it. Also sick of every celebrity having a baby at the moment 😂

Seems to have stopped...

Yeah I've already had a wee private teary moment this morning too @LS2020 - 28 weeks yesterday 😔
But onwards!
...maybe we are all destined to fall at the same time after all? 🤭🤫 SHHH SHUT UP WILSO! 🤣

@Sunbird24 sooo glad to hear it 😘 please please try not to stress ❤️

@LS2020 & @mrswilso have a virtual socially distanced hug - I would have been 24 weeks

🥰 aaah I love this group so much! ✨

@Sunbird24 glad to hear no more bleeding ❤️

@mrswilso maybe! Though with the way my stomach has been cramping today with infection not sure much is going to happen this month 😣 keep imaging I’m going to go for my scan on Tuesday and they’ll be like ooh we see something but know they can’t spot anything that early!

Don’t know what’s going on with me today, feel like someone’s kicked me in the uterus. So painful 😩

Had my internal scan done - all ok, this process is so annoying with everything coming back okay ugh!

I know what you mean @LS2020. It’s good news of course, but still leaves you with that big unanswered question...

I know what you’re saying @LS2020, on the one hand, that’s good news for sure but also frustrating because there’s still no clear reason!

Hope you’re getting on okay @Sunbird24 x

It’s a rollercoaster of emotions isn’t it @mrswilso and every time it’s impossible not to get your hopes up. I know it never mattered how many times I told myself to stay chilled, it never happened!
