Anyone missing just let me know your next testing date xx

@KateColx oooo what've you had?? Literally had nothing, sore boobs and nipples but think that was progesterone peak after ovulation, had back ache today but that's about it! Really not getting my hopes up!x

Ah girls I'm 5'2" and 15stone. In saying that I was over 18st having my daughter. Lost 5st then put most back on, lost 3 stone recently and put nearly 1 back on during covid but have most of that off now. But I'm walking, doing 30+ kms a wk. For me that's a big things as I'm soooooo lazy. Yes the drinking is not helping. And picking. I love the crisps. So I'm adamant to keep the walking up if we get a bfp, to keep me right. Should help my back also I'm hoping.
5/6 DPO no CM, no spotting, had a bit of cramping but that's gone. Going on the drink this wkend 😂😂 on my last 2 pregnancies unknown to me I got bananas just b4 finding out. Dh reckons my body was telling me to b4 stopping lol

@lucyrp haha I know, I would be telling someone else the same 😂 I normally hold out for 10DPO so I'll wait for Friday at least 🙈 have you done any more pregnancy tests or have you given up on that now? X

@Vil10 I've noticed sore boobs today which I don't normally get until the day before AF, and been feeling a bit crampy. The one thing that I thought was weird was I went super nauseous and gagged when I started cutting chicken for tea 🤷🏼‍♀️ never happened before but still no concrete sign of anything I guess 😩 let's hope we start to see some BFPs this weekend 🥰 x

Two of my best friends are pregnant, one is due in August and the other has only just found out she's pregnant really so I'm feeling impatient 😂 x

@LV1987 yes! To the point where I skipped pre-seed this cycle cause it was very clearly not needed!

I'm so spotty this cycle girls! Must have a dozen spots on my face right now and I'm used hardly ever having any 😭

@KateColx was also wondering where you were. When will you be testing? Think me @Juno231 and @Cocoblue22 are early next week? Anybody else?

I have zilch symptoms at 6dpo

@SmileyT do you reckon your temps are all over the place because of lack of consistent sleep? Did you get a peak CB?

@KateColx i would even wait out until 12dpo personally! If I get to the point where I need to test I'd probably wait until AF has come I don't think I'd even test before hand! I did some more but totally given up on thag now 🙈😂x

@Katao definitely roll on July... we need at least a couple BFPs a week to remind us all it will happen 🙌🏾

@Vil10 women supporting women is the best!! I especially love that people take the time to reply to eachother some threads it's literally like a bulletin board where people don't even read anybody else's posts, feel like we are a little community now x

@SweetDreams92 @DKDK123 obvs would've been better if AF never showed but seen as she has you both have the right idea, into a new fresh cycle and could be like the pornstar property mogul that is @Skip86 (hope you're well lovely) sneaking in with a BFP last thing in July x

@Cocoblue22 I had a 3hr team meeting on skype this morning 😴 and went into tesco first, they only had the large bar of the choc with Oreo and just couldn't trust myself to buy it 😂

@KateColx yay you're back, I like temping but it isn't for everyone can just add more stress... sorry work has been mental but hopefully distracting you in this TWW. Try and hold out until super Saturday, 11dpo is a great time to get a clear test result, that is only 4 sleeps 🥳

@blodyn91 yep got a peak on the cheapie strips and CB static but I think I also trust the temps because this is my 4th month temping and they have always been a really clear shift, I am a shit sleeper though and weather has been weird so who knows. I'll just see what happens, might still test but actually feel like a weight has been lifted thinking it's not this month 🤷🏾‍♀️ how are you this evening? xx

@Minster2012 you'll be proud to know I threw some classics into the bedroom mix today with the Flat Iron and the G-whiz oldies but goodies 😉

@KateColx they all sound promising though!! I really hope we have a few BFP's this weekend!
I've just started with leg pain in the side that my back pain is on, not sure if this is anything or just a niggle!x

@SmileyT it really is, I don't think there's any better support!! I agree!! I've seen the same on others threads, I was in one before I found this one (the name of the thread pulled me in😂) and I felt like I just couldn't connect with any of them and none of them were really bothered about anyone else's journeys and it was a bit blah! Nothing like our little community here!!x

Sorry for the missing in action for rest of the day, got stuck into a shed load of Vvvv boring paperwork whilst also trying to entertain toddler & dogs....did ya miss me 🤔, seemingly so if you all want me to stick around & not piss off to the boring IVF boards 😂 OK THEN I WILL!

Awww thank you @Vil10 AF can piss off you are right, & actually has for the rest of the day which is weird but will be back tomorrow no doubt

@Notyetamumbuttrying you thought I looked lovely (that's true, obs) but long brown hair, not true, for those on the thread longer, they know my hair at the beginning of lockdown & indeed TTC when I was pregnant with IVF embryo was like this, bright purple & pink (maybe to take stares away from growing boobs?) then it faded to this in lockdown 🦄hair, now I'm so ashamed I can't even show you, it's shitty pink ends MASSIVE boring shit mouse blond roots, but it's "usually" some sort of blonde/highlight/grey/colour I don't mind trying new things 😂

@Franklydear no one is too old love

@2alreadywantanother SNAP on the birthday plans YAY to pissed night 🥂🍸🍹🍾chin chin

@SmileyT yes I'm not trying to belittle the IVF threads, I will join because of the ins and outs it's tough to understand, but I stay a bit more quiet & there's not a lot of "other talk" as it's very focused like you say, & there's not that many ppl trying for second children (and those that are are more quiet as we know the importance if we have been there), I feel I'm saying this wrong as also I'm not wanting to say you guys haven't been there, and I know you as well have, it's fecking tough TTC with many a MC & heart ache, it's hard, I yearn to be pregnant, to be the one that carries a child, to feel that bond, DS is a daddy's boy, I don't have mum friends like my friends do as I wasn't the pregnant one. Sorry rant over.

Lots of positivity for @DKDK123 & @SweetDreams92 are you changing anything? Except not staring at my chocolate pictures?!

@Lucyrp is your work far away from you? If not that sounds like the perfect easing in after lockdown 😂

@cocoblue22 no ass around you??? I drank golden ass fruit juice so I would imagine pink ass fruit juice is fine? As long as not from concentrate? Ahhh I see that's been answered I'm late to the party

@Lucyrp & @vil10 loving the sound of your food 🥰

@Katecolx hey lovely, being busy is good! Yes IVF all depends on getting in touch when AF arrives & just hoping they can fit us in, I wiped a bit of brown blood today & was cramping loads yesterday so only a matter of time (which would be earlier than last month) but nothing since so 🤷‍♀️. There's a lot of ppl hopefully still in to test this weekend with you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@blodyn91 aw it's nice to know you girls missed me 🥰 I'm thinking I'll probably test Friday / Saturday which would be 10/11DPO. Appreciate that's early but I have zero willpower 😂 I wouldn't worry about no symptoms, the friend who's recently found out she's pregnant feels absolutely fine other than missing a period! X

@lucyrp im a nightmare for early testing 🙈 I get tempted as soon as I'm 7DPO haha. Ah bless you, any more spotting? X

@SmileyT yeah you're right, I'll try and hold out for Saturday! Although I am a POAS addict, I do quite like this bit of the cycle where there's still hope 😂🤞🏻

@Minster2012 ah yes I remember you saying now, are you hoping AF makes an appearance soon so you can get the ball rolling? Defo don't leave us for the IVF boards!! We need the sex position suggestions to get us through FW! X

@Juno231 I've not used pre-seed myself, but I can tell I'll not be needing any help this month. Moister than an oyster, I believe that was the phrase 🙊

To those with obese BMIs... Me too! 5'3" and a 12-14. Definitely closer to a 14 thanks to lock down 🙄 I'm all tits and arse though so I would consider myself curvy but obese? Never!

@Minster2012 no it's literally 5 minutes up the road 😂 so it's actually fine popping in and out 🙈

@KateColx no no spotting or anything now! X

@SmileyT I love that we are like a little community! The thread moves so fast but that's what I like, there's always something to read. Before I joined MN I read through an old thread from about a year ago during TTC research and I'm sure that one thread lasted for about 4 months with weeks of gaps in between messages, no chance of that here 😂

Ah yes I remember now @Minster2012 I've seen those photos before! Love both colours tbh. 👌🏾
Yes @LV1987 I say curvy too! I'm 5'7 and a 14/16 and I'm mainly arse 😂 tits are sizeable tho, belly is obvs growing too but not with a baby sadly 🥺

@LV1987 Moister than an oyster 😂😂 love it. I'm like that 🙈 wet, then flooded 😂😂

I know I'll be dying to poas when all the bfps come flooding in. Making it to Monday after my "session" I'll be 11/12dpo and hopefully dying 😂😂
Gona try and hold out but know I wont

Aw that little community comment made me feel all warm and fuzzy @SmileyT 😊 so true!

Welcome back @KateColx! Hold out until 10dpo anyway if you can. I'm only delighted with myself for not testing today at 9dpo 😂 it's the furthest I have made it yet. Not planning on testing tomorrow either, I think I can hold out.

@Ltay2 how are you feeling now? Are you still planning to test in the morning?

@notyetamumbuttrying aw I know it gets stressful coming up to the year when you have never been pregnant. I'm more relaxed this time because I know I can get pregnant. Hopefully this is your month. It does take a lot of people some time to conceive though, it's just not talked about so when it's you, you feels like it's only you.

@Katao I'm still going to test in the morning just to get it out the way otherwise I'll be obsessing over it all day like I did today! I'm not optimistic though, completely expecting it to be stark white. I've had the very occasional, very very mild AF like cramp today and also tiny streaks of spotting literally like pencil lines in underwear. When I checked CM/CP I did notice a little blood inside that appeared to have a tiny clot like pin head size so that's what's making me feel it's more AF build up that anything else.

Obviously I hope more than anything I get a BFP this time but if I don't then I'm looking forward to finally cracking open my gin and having a bath 😂

@SmileyT I was meaning to ask - have you ever noticed an anovulatory cycle previously?

I 100% agree on the community feel! I've never been on a thread as chatty and supportive as this one :)

I love that we are a TTC community too 🥰💕

@Lucyrp that's great then, short data hopefully for a while!! Still nothing?

@KateColx I don't quite know what I want atm to be honest, prob for it to come after the weekend which is when it was expected (& so hopefully when they can get us in) & I agree for @Blodyn91 when I got my BFP I had no symptoms whatsoever

@LV1987 loving the moister than an oyster 🤣

@Katao just wee quickly in the morning then try & stay busy that's what I did to get through another day 🤞🏻

@Ltay2 still gonna have everything crossed for you xx

@Minster2012 yeah sounds likely! Still nothing here sorry to disappoint!

I love our little community too. Still can't wait for this facebook group 🙈

This is very true and probably the hardest thing I've had to go through in adult life @Katao it's such a rollercoaster. I've never lived cycle to cycle before and it's exhausting! I can't wait to have the first because I know I'll be more relaxed with the second, it's just the niggling worry when it's your first time trying and you have no idea if it's you/him or it's just time. Thanks for the reassurances tho!

It certainly is a little community @Ltay2 it's great! 🤗 I'm getting my usual crazy pms but no spots on my face this time. My sister even said I was glowing on FaceTime earlier but I think that was just the lighting 😂 update us in the morning!

@Ltay2 it's so hard to know what's a good sign and what's a bad sign! I still have that really mild crampy feeling too. Good luck in the morning. Fingers crossed for you.

@Minster2012 that's what I'm thinking, I just have to keep my resolve until that first wee and then I'm good 😂
@notyetamumbuttrying the cycle to cycle thing is hard!!! It's the lack of control. It's such a huge life changing thing and there is soooo much waiting and wondering and relying on luck 🤯

AF has got me at 9dpo, I'm out for this month so I won't be testing tomorrow!
New cycle eh!
My cycles never used to be this short!
