@katecolx hold out until monday or tues to test again. Fingers crossed for the bfp
I'm heading to a friends for drinks. DH isn't braving the restaurants yet. I'm like but what if get bfp I wont get to have a drink with my meal 😂😂 1st world problems lol

Minster2012 · 03/07/2020 08:09

Morning ladies

@J0DI3 hey! Sorry to hear you've had some bleeding & they won't scan you, another over here saying my best friend bled off & on throughout our pregnancy with our son & all was ok, scary as hell but ok. Hopefully Sunday will bring a heartbeat noise which is the best 🥰

@Juno231 all fingers & toes crossed that drop is a good thing 🤞🏻🤞🏻

LittleRa · 03/07/2020 08:13

Morning all, hope everyone is doing well. Any nice plans over the weekend?

7dpo here, not really feeling any symptoms though. Second cycle off the pill and not 100% sure if I ovulated- am just using app with dates not OPKs or temp, and I didn’t notice any particularly noteworthy CM.

Looks like a few testers coming up over next few days/week so fingers crossed for everyone!

Oreo chocolate choice has to be to the Cadbury’s WHITE chocolate with Oreo 😋 not tried the mint one though, that does sound intriguing....

Cocoblue22 · 03/07/2020 08:16

@KateColx I didn't get BFP with my son until 11dpo last time got negative at 10dpo so you're still In the game x

@Braxos you could still get a BFP 🤞🏻x

Minster2012 · 03/07/2020 08:21

Oh no I've just seen the BFNs whilst I was typing, @Katecolx def still in with a shot

@vil10 same too, where are you going in August? That would be good though?! Wouldn't it?!!!!!

@Braxos AF due today, what symptoms have you had? It's so hard when they are seemingly so similar, evil witch indeed

@blodyn91 as if your OH thinks rats are cute & cuddly??? How does that go down at Land Rover jag?!

After all you lots chocolate talk last night I was bodding around on amazon & found the most amazing deal for chocolate I was going to share with you lovely ladies but it's prob best it's now out of stock (me having bought most of it prob 🤷‍♀️) so I don't damage ALL your waistlines 😬🤣I will keep an eye on it

In other news we live opposite our local pub,yes we did buy the house for that reason & DH gutted its not open until 22nd July. I had sneakily ordered him 2 takeout pints to soften the blow but he realised last night & not happy

Cocoblue22 · 03/07/2020 08:22

So I reckon today I'm 8dpo going for test TMZ at 9dpo still too early really sore not expecting to see anything and then again on Monday at 11dpo.

Nipples feel a bit sore if I rub or tweak them but they also did last Month. With ds my whole boobs aches at 10dpo that's how I knew before I even got a BFP I could tell I was so confused when I got negatives that morning and the morning of 11dpo I only got my BFP on 11dpo evening! 5 mins before I went out with my good friend I'm seeing this sat 🤞🏻 she is my positive omen! I keep thinking how weird it would be if I got BFP before I was due to go out with her again 🤣 x

LV1987 · 03/07/2020 08:31

Morning all

@J0DI3 that must be pretty scary🤞🤞you get the reassurance you need on Sunday, keep us updated ❤️

Sorry to see the BFNs this morning - who is still in for Super Saturday?!

SmileyT · 03/07/2020 08:32

@Vil10 @KateColx @Braxos sorry it was BFNs this morning, I was so certain there would be at least one this morning, but as you've both said hold out hope until the old bitch turns up but also start buying some AF treats for yourself just in case.

@Sausage1990 I've favourited that link to read later, thanks, and I may add a book into my AF Amazon order 🥰

@blodyn91 interesting you say about training, when I fell last time I was doing intense training 6 days a week in the morning before work at 8am (so would get max 5.5hrs during the week) and was playing 2hrs of netball twice a week but I carried on with it all when I was pregnant and did wonder if that contributed to MC as when I saw a nurse when I had an early scan with a HB she did tell me to calm down the training, even though everything I'd read said that you can carry on doing what you had been doing. So now I'm so confused what is right 🤷🏾‍♀️

@2alreadywantanother think we are yet to kick off July BFPs yet 😔 but we did have a total of 24 in June I think 🙌🏾

I get all my cheapie HCG and opks here. They sell all sorts. I’ve used these for a few years now and are as cheap as the one steps but better imo.

SmileyT · 03/07/2020 08:39

@J0DI3 fingers crossed you get to see the little HB on Sunday. I had an abdominal scan at 6w and could see HB so hopefully you don't have to go for the transvaginal (not even sure this is the word but you know what I mean) rest up xx

@Juno231 my good months of temping I've had an 'implantation dip' at 8dpo means your hormones are really well balanced and you've had your oestrogen surge I think, fingers crossed it jumps back up tomorrow morning xx

@DAC21

Thank you everyone, you are all so lovely! 😊

The 5-follicle cycle was cancelled as the clinic said it was too high risk, so we didn't go ahead with that one. We were so devastated to hear they wanted us to cancel that they really needed to work hard to convince us. Even though rationally we knew it was not a good idea, it was just so devastating to have had to cancel. They kept saying that each egg had the chance of splitting into identical twins so that is potentially 10. 😳
We had two unsuccessful tries before that, one may have been a chemical.

@TTCmummy2021 It is heartbreaking to hear how much you have been through. Do you have other same-sex couple around you who are also TTC? If you ever want to talk about being the non-bio mum just shout.

@Katao Sorry to hear the pink is gone from the test. Don't despair, fingers crossed it comes back stronger with the next test!

So sorry to hear that. I don’t know your story. Are you on clomid ? Injectables or tablets. Sorry for the questions hun.
Newbie0818 · 03/07/2020 09:22

Morning ☀️

Good luck to everyone testing today and sorry about any bfn's 💕

Well I was CERTAIN af was going to show yesterday as I had a slight temp drop (not below cover line), but apart from the tiny amount of brown spotting she's still not shown 😨 my temp rose again today and the spotting seems to have stopped.
I'm just going to bite the bullet and POAS tomorrow as I'm 17dpo and surely af would be here by now after 3 days of spotting?!

Juno231 · 03/07/2020 09:23

@smileyt brilliant - always good to get confirmation of half decent hormone activity!
@blodyn91 @Minster2012 I think rats are cute and cuddly too - they make excellent pets ha :) Petted a few of them randomly in Central Park when on a business trip, they were doing tricks!

So sorry for the BFNs girls, you're not out until you're out though!!

Katao · 03/07/2020 09:26

Wow this is really a morning for bfns ☹
Another one to add here. I wasn't planning to test but woke up with a sore back so wanted to know if I could hit it with something stronger than paracetamol. Bfn 12dpo on a frer so thats pretty conclusive. Now we are definitely due a bfp! 🙂

Franklydear · 03/07/2020 09:28

Morning, nothing to report here, the closest I get to af due, the less pms symptoms I have, who knows? Plan is to test on Monday or Tuesday, if nothing happens before

Franklydear · 03/07/2020 09:30

@JOD13. Hopefully this scan will reassure you, I don't understand why can't they just do them, is hardly that you want a picture...

Franklydear · 03/07/2020 09:34

On the weekend subject, I am sorry to report that I haven't managed to leave my street yet, working on it...

KateColx · 03/07/2020 09:36

@Vil10 thanks lovely, and sorry for your BFN too 😔 same for you though! You're not out yet. We're so quick to tell everyone else that but never believe it ourselves 😂 hope those pains aren't AF! Xx

@Ltay2 haha I'm so glad it isn't me who does it! Trawling back to 2009 to try and make myself feel better 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ x

@2alreadywantanother yeah I think I'm going to try and wait until at least Monday now. Haha I actually thought that too, i was like should I have a wine with my meal or not?! Like you said, first world problems 😂 x

@Cocoblue22 ah thank you!! You're the exact person I've been trawling through MN to find 😂 I always feel like if I don't get an early sign it won't happen, which is ridiculous 🙄 I've also had the whole achey boob thing! Really hoping it's a good sign. It would be lovely if you had the same thing again, a lucky charm 🥰 x

@LittleRa it might be worth trying some OPKs, even if it's just for one month lovely, just to see if your dates line up with the app. Mine was out by a few days when I started testing, so I was planning around the wrong days. X

@Newbie0818 17DPO and no sign of AF sounds very promising!! You've done so well to last until now x

2alreadywantanother · 03/07/2020 09:38

@Newbie0818 u have great willpower not testing today or b4 now even.
I'm gona get as close to af due date as I can but know I'll be itching to.

@Katao until af arrives ur not out huni. Some dont get bfp until well after af is due so hold out. Hope ur back is okay

blodyn91 · 03/07/2020 09:39

@SmileyT I've googled the shit out of exercising and fertility 😆, loads of articles are aimed for those who are not already mega fit, suggesting 30mins walk a day etc. But exercising hard increases cortisol, but can be reversed with proper recovery.
Ive decided to take this month easy anyway, I still run 1/2 a week but keeping HR low, and doing 30mins weights 2/3 a week, haven't been on my bike in weeks😩! I think if I do get pregnant I would increase training back up slowly

blodyn91 · 03/07/2020 09:42

So sorry about all the BFN 😩 so crap. Makes me not want to test! But so many of you testing early, so 🤞🤞

2alreadywantanother · 03/07/2020 09:54

@blodyn91 I'm the same, if I tested now and got bfn which I'd be expecting testing so early, it would just ruin my whole wkend for me. At least if I hold out, I'll have had a few days to get over it by the time next wkend arrives 🙈
Maybe DH would feel sorry on me and take me out for a meal 😂

Vil10 · 03/07/2020 10:09

@Ltay2 it's like a rollercoaster isn't it, in the 2 weeks you go from positive to negative back and forth so many times!! Yeah I think once you get over that initial upset of a bfn you kinda just move on don't you!

@Minster2012 I'm going to Marbella with my friends! So it would be fun finding out if I was pregnant whilst there but it's a girls holiday so drinking would be out the window😂 but for a baby i definitely wouldn't mind!! Where are you going??

@SmileyT definitely af treats!! I wanted OH to grab me some for tonight but I really shouted at him this morning, I've felt so stressed and my BFN and af pains really didn't help!! Now I feel awful but I'm so stubborn!

@KateColx hahaha I know, typical!! We're always so sure and positive for everyone else but so pessimistic with our own situations!x

LittleRa · 03/07/2020 10:13

@KateColx Yes, I’m beginning to think that. I hadn’t wanted to get overly obsessed too soon ha ha. But might be a good to get more of an idea/understanding of what’s going on. I’m starting to wish I’d come off the pill months ago. Apparently can take 3 months so get everything natural again. We generally dtd at least every other day all through the month and then have been doing every day in what I believe is FW, although there are a few gaps of 2 days earlier on. Cycle is long- 35-37 days.

Juno231 · 03/07/2020 10:21

@Newbie0818 you crazy lady how have you not tested???
