@SarahTTC2020 I'm laughing at the thought of your hobbit hands now!! Pretty sure some of the girls on here have asked their OHs to have a feel for them!

Has anyone else found themselves to be quite spotty off the pill? I always thought I had clear skin but I guess it was just 14 years of being on the pill that had me fooled! They're not massive spots but there's a fair amount of them to the point where I'm thinking maybe the contraceptives hid a hormonal imbalance? These are the kinds of silly thoughts entering my head whenever the TWW drags!

Wowser, didn't even manage to finish my post-work catch up during my 40min walk home.

I'm exhausted so won't reply to everyone individually but I've loved seeing wedding venue pics, strangely I've never been bothered about a wedding but completely untraditionally I love the idea of my kids being there, probably because I was at my parents (they were together since 13 but got married at 27 when they'd saved up).

I had McDs yesterday in bed; large mcchicken sandwich meal, hamburger and 5 chicken selects. I just got it on Uber eats 👌🏾

Sorry to everyone that is feeling low but please remember we are all rockstars and this ttc journey is hard, also my list tells me that 30 odd people are due to test/ expecting AF this week so it's not surprising to feel a bit crappy as the 2nd week of TWW is shit - I'm currently 9dpo and I feel your pain.

As we all know I often check my cervix and I find it completely unreliable especially if you're having sex as it moves up after sex. But totally agree with making notes on your symptoms last month at 8dpo I noted 'creamy CM and throbbing around right ovary' so yesterday when I had this I was like 'meh this is normal for me'

@Catherinettc tentative congrats 🥳 , can see the line in that inverted picture but I'd definitely go and get bloods from your GP as you've been getting a line for a few days and they can just give you the green light and show hcg is increasing so you can relax and enjoy things and tell OH ☺️

For anyone that has started AF please enjoy a Gin & assfruit juice it's the new drink to try 😉

@juno321 lol okay so I just tried this cervix thing I think it's soft but low!? I've also got short fingers so now I'm second guessing myself I mean I Could just be feeling nothing though lol

also yes the texture of my skin was so smooth on the pill and now I've got teeny little spots everywhere- it's weird I was convinced maybe my skin and cleared up a bit and it was going to lead to a bfp but nope was just the face mask I used! And it's back to normal now

Currently 7dpo and felt a bit hopeless UNTIL I watched an early pregnancy symptom video on YouTube. The woman just said anything before 12DPO is purely just down to progesterone (which varies woman to woman) and nothing to do with pregnancy as the HCG needs to kick in for a few days then it'll probs make you feel sick.

I'm thinking back to my MC and my symptoms started 2 days before I thought AF was due but when I tested 1 day late from AF I got 3+ weeks on my clearblue so I was further along than I thought when symptoms begun to so show so surely we shouldn't all be overly symptom spotting during our TWW but why can't we help it!!!! 😭

@TTCmummy2021 So sorry things aren't clearer yet. Hope you can just cuddle up together on the sofa tonight and take your minds off for a little bit.
I think of you a lot and sending the most positive vibes! ❤

@SmileyT that Mc ds sounds EPIC. I've had a tiny bit of spotting today so thinking AF on her way. How are you doing? Any plans to test? X

Evening,

I may of been a massive lurker, on your threads for quite some time. Although the rate it goes has scared me away a few times.

You all seem so lovely and could do with your wise advise.

Cycles have been all over the place, and some extremely long. (Have put down to work stress, as this last since lockdown almost thought my body had sorted itself out)
Went to docs day one on lockdown, to check hormone levels. 6 weeks later did it, got told fine.

Long and short, May was first month tracking ovulation using CB. As was waiting on blood test.
CB showed peak on 14th but went straight from O.
Tested IC 9dpo- super faint.
Tested every few days and lines got darker and darker on IC’s.
CB digital 16dpo- showed pregnant 2-3

Haven’t excessively believed it to be true so hadn’t told DH.
Yesterday started light spotting/cramping.
IC with fmu faint positive this am.
Today felt crappy. 111 told me to call doc, doc told me to call Early Pregnancy assessment unit. And that doc just said as wasn’t that strong and bleed/cramps to just wait.

So I am in a pickle.

Also waiting on friend number 5 to give birth any day. They have all been in the last month.

So I know what is basically happening but just feel confused.

So just woken up from my nap! Feel no better whatsoever😭😂 OH is home and has been for an hour or so he tells me. He has drawn the curtains for me, tucked me in, made me a cup of tea and tea is in the oven cooking downstairs😍

I don't symptom spot anymore @Mococo1 because progesterone is rife in my week before af so I'll get twinges, headaches, nausea, the lot! So I just ignore it all now and expect af. Still gonna test a day early tho as I have frer in the cupboard so may as well use them!

Hey @SmileyT hope you've had a good day today! Testing day is getting closer 😬 😀

Never tried to feel for my cervix, not sure I'm gonna try as don't need more things to try and not obsess over lol!

Hi, I’ve been sick, yes, actually, at the smell of coffee, ... containing excitement, not counting the eggs yet...
@TTCgee, we have the same date for af, hope we both miss it, when I was pregnant before I didn’t realised for a while, I got one of those implantation bleeding that looked like a period, we were ‘trying’ , but by that I mean we just stop using contraception...
I have constipation now though, hopefully means something other than a crappy lockdown diet
I get different af signs every cycle, my body saying this is revenge for being on the pill for 10 years+
@lucyrp I haven’t been at work since mid March, And they like moving things around without notice anyway, I don’t know what I’ll find...
@TTCmummy2021 Just a little longer... that goes for me too.
@Juno231 yes, definitely got more spots...
@Newbie0818 thank you ladies, I don’t know what I would do without you
Ds has let go of my iPad for a minute so I have the chance to make a proper post

Hi @EJNew I'm sorry for everything you are going through, personally I'd call the EPU and tell them you are having heavy cramping and bleeding and you need a scan as you are concerned. How many dpo are you now? They can sometimes scan you and see a HB as early as around 6w so if it was me I'd be pushing for a scan xx

@watermelonwizard oh I hope it isn't AF and it's just random spotting, I'm not positive about this month at all as have zero symptoms but will test on Wednesday just to get an answer then move onto next cycle. I feel as I move into my 3rd month of TTC (I know it's not very long) I'm becoming slightly more emotionally detached from the whole process but hopefully it will be a nice surprise when this BFP finally arrives xx

@lucyrp ahh bless ya, glad OH is looking after you, just rest up and hopefully you will feel better in the morning xx

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm with you, I don't really believe in symptom spotting but I have noticed the last few months that up to 7/8dpo I feel ravenous, tired and grumpy and after that it subsides so think mine drops quite sharply towards AF but if I stay grumpy all the way to period due day I'll take that as a massive sign 😂 think I'm going to be naughty and test on Wednesday, you still holding out for Thursday? Xx

@TTCgee haha! I take whatever mine is doing with a pinch of salt as it moves up and down throughout the day, and seems to go high right before af as opposed to low! I don't think it got the memo 🤣 seems to be high and soft during ov though.

@Juno231 me! 🙋🏽‍♀️ I actually went on the pill because of acne and in the last month or two it's been getting bad again. On my neck as well which I've never had before :( I think I may possibly have psos or something but I'll wait and see what happens as I just had my bloods done. @Mococo1 I have the little bumps too! They're so annoying as it feels like they're ALL OVER my face but can't actually see them? Icky.

@SmileyT mcchicken sandwich is my go to 🤤

Right I don’t really know what I’m feeling for or whether it’s high or low but I think I’ve just felt my cervix and it felt soft and spongy almost? What does that mean? 😂 I’m 9DPO 🤷🏼‍♀️

@SmileyT thank you, I'm just getting fed up of it now. I was quite happy to put up with feeling like shit for the sake of a BFP but now I know that's not the case I am not happy!😂🙈hows your day been ? Xx

@Franklydear it's horrible isn't it! We've actually got a full move around on go where as different sections of the buildings are moving to other sections and they've done line painting in the car park outside etc when we've never had that before and it just threw me off guard a bit !

@Bear127 as @SmileyT says I don't necessarily think it's that reliable ... however this is what the health line says (see pic) so if yours is soft I'd be taking that as a good sign!

They say soft is if it feels like your lips or earlobe and hard is like end of your nose?

@Juno231 omg saaaame! So spotty at certain points of my cycle now and always had such clear skin for years but like you was on the pill for 14 years!!

Also, noticed I have them now on my back which I've neverrrrr had so I do sometimes worry about a hormone imbalance too @Newbie0818 but I'm getting my bloods done next month too so I guess we shall see!

Also all these talks of MaccyDs is making me jel! Gonna get one as a treat on Wednesday! I'm never usually bothered by it but I could murder one RN! Gimme all the crap food to make me feel better 😂😂

Yay @SmileyT we will be testing same day!

@Franklydear I'm sooo bad at putting everything in separate messages! Awww I so hope we both miss it too 🤞

Exciting that you've been sick (I know that sounds so weird!!) hahaha but with it being such a clear sign of HCG I'd be bouncing off the walls if I felt sick atm 😂😂

@lucyrp I once came back from a two weeks holiday to found they have changed the used of every single room, and restructure all the work, explanations , you say? Get on with it. I don’t like change, even less without warning...
Maybe we can do a sting of horrible work stories

@TTCgee it caught me off guard too, I made a cup of coffee, sit down with it, and when I went to take it and caugh a whiff, there you go, I don’t think ds noticed, might have some explaining to do...

@Franklydear I literally hate having time off work purely for that reason! Even if I'm off for one day I know I will have missed out on something and I want to know everything! They even changed the lights to come on automatically when you go in so I can't even turn them off 😭😂

Also, we are not planning to tell ds until we are ready to tell the world, he won’t be able to not blurt it out in the first conversation he has with anyone, I feel a bit guilty we are going to keep it from him for a few weeks, but I really don’t want some random mum from school to be the first to know in a wassap call... or to just tell grandma at 4 weeks...

@SmileyT Thank you for the reply. I feel bad for lurking and then just blurting all that out.
Just feel like on a rollercoaster, haven’t got a clue what is going on. And when trying to sort not got much other than, just wait and see.

Today would/ is/ was CD 45, 24 DPO. That put me at 5 weeks 3 days, so as under 6 weeks, don’t think the EPU really wanted to know.

@TTCgee I’m going to take it with a pinch of salt as symptom spotting can just drive you crazy and end in disappointment! Nice to hear it can be a good sign, although I refuse to get my hopes up until I see the BFP 😂 Thanks for looking it up though!

@Bear127 tbh you need to feel it all through your cycle as everyone's body is different. I've been doing it for nearly 6 months and have only just got to grips with what's "soft" and "firm" for my body 😂

@TTCgee good luck with bloods!

@Newbie0818 Thank you for the advice 😁 I may have to start in a few cycles time if I’m still TTC!

@Bear127 I think that's v sensible!! And @Newbie0818 you're totally right! Mine never feels super super soft so I think everyone's so different!

I think I'm gonna have to test tomorrow gals! I just need to know 😂 would you do it or wait?

I'm CD30 right now and my cycles range from 30-32 days long so my app is predicting Weds as my last cycle was 32 days... so tomorrow I'd be 31! I normally don't test and just make myself wait for AF but this time I just can't take my mind off it at all - all day at work I was so unfocused today so just want to know one way or the other!!

Am I being daft? Would you wait or test?
