TTC - Thread 2- a lucky one!

[Blossom428]

Hi guys....
Thought I'd set up this new thread for us.
Tag anyone else from the group I've not got.

@AnxiousAnnie86
@Spinksy9 (thought I'd tag for you to check in with us after your BFP 😆)
@Chlo2701

Does this seem positive enough??? Weird I would of thought it would be darker if getting a positive on digital or am I just overthinking

Maybe, I dunno not testing anymore!

@AnxiousAnnie86 honestly I’d leave it - I don’t know of many women who get proper irrefutable positives on those things - that seems like a strong line to me, as I said, way stronger than anything I ever get on those things, even the day before retrospectively confirmed ovulation.
Perhaps you could assume ovulation for today/tomorrow based on your peak reading and go off that? Fingers crossed it happens for you!

My temperamental boob has come back! How bizarre. I give up too now, no idea what to think. Roll on Friday and (pleasepleasepleaseplease) no AF.

Actually though, I’m going to be scared to test. If AF doesn’t come, I’ll be too scared to do it in case it’s negative and I’ve had another messed up cycle. I don’t think I can look at another bfn, I’ll actually lose my mind and start climbing the walls. 🤪🤯

@TheOrangeMonster I don't test early anymore I just can't do it!! I used to start testing at like 5dpo 🤣

I really really hope this is it for you! This really would be a lucky thread. X

Yes that looks positive to me @AnxiousAnnie86 ... I wouldn't test anymore and just DtD for the next couple of days and you will be fine! Hopefully then Ava will pick up the temp change and you'll be in your 2WW!!

My boob pain def comes and goes! But the sickness won't bugger off ahaa! I'm between 7 to 8 weeks now. I wanted to be one of those ones that doesnt let pregnancy stop them doing anything! However all I want to do is sleep! Feel sorry for the husband!

@Blossom428 yeah I'm not going too, I did another cheapie and it was postive so accepting ThAts it, will count tomorrow as ovulation day,

Anyone know of anything can do in TWW? I will eat pineapple take vit D..... I would so so so love for this to be our month. X

@Spinksy9 sorry about the sickness ☹️ Hopefully it’ll clear up by week 12? They say it does.
@Blossom428 how are you doing? Still spotting or full flow?
@AnxiousAnnie86 good idea.

There have been some “twitchings” down there this morning - not cramps or anything like them, just little pulls and sort of bubblings in the ovary/general lady area (not the intestines, thankfully I can tell the difference these days.) Could be AF gearing up. My skin is awful today as well - breaking out all over my face, much worse than normal. If she’s coming she’s really being a bitch this time 😂

@TheOrangeMonster when would af actually be due? I know you said you'd test Friday? Is that after AF is due or before x

@AnxiousAnnie86 Friday morning. She usually wakes me up about 6am with bad cramps.

Ladies, has anyone ever heard of excessive windiness being an symptom of early pregnancy? I don’t know what is going on this cycle, food is not agreeing with me the last two days. (Sorry for the unglamorous share....)
I’ve got to the point now where I’m going to be so, so hacked off if this is all just PMS. It’s not fair if it is, it’s all weird stuff I don’t normally get this badly. Knowing my luck thought it won’t mean anything at all.

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm so sorry I missed your post last night about having a bad day, I must not have refreshed before I posted. So glad you finally got your peak, you must be feeling better now!

Thank you for the link, I'm on CD3 now so I'll order for next month. This is the inositol I use - www.bulk.com/uk/inositol.html. Although it's not a tablet, I put it in my coffee (decaf obvs!) and you can't taste it at all.

@TheOrangeMonster this is such a nice supportive thread - we're all in it together! I like that we're all at slightly different points in our cycle too, means we've always got someone to cheer on! Keeping my fingers crossed for you Friday 🤞🏼

@Gemster19 oooh! Okay I might order it now for next month! I've just ordered all my digital opks for next month too, also I contacted ava about my bracelet having a fault and they've said it's cos it's the old model it's from 2015 and offered 50% discount on the new one!

I agree it's so good about everyone at diff points, doesn't feel like a race! I'm so glad we have this group to chat in x

@AnxiousAnnie86 that's good about your Ava - you could prob sell your 2015 model on eBay and make your money back!

I just had a quick scroll through the conception boards and spotted one thread where the OP is talking about 'losing the will to live' in their 3rd month TTC...and then another 19 days after coming off BC 😤

@Gemster19 that way madness lies!

I’m having a bit of a crisis -

DH is lying on his back on the living room floor having a total breakdown over TTC and I don’t know what to do, he doesn’t want to talk right now. We’ve already talked about not testing until at least the end of next week now if AF stays away because we’re both too scared to see another negative.

Problem is, I don’t know for sure when I ovulated. I guessed two Fridays ago, that’s what I’m going off of, I think I’m 12dpo today - but I don’t know for sure because I stopped chatting/temping and didnt do any OPK’s. It could have been as recently as last Friday, that was the day my boob started to get sore, which is the whole reason I think I’m in the LP now: I normally get a week of soreness before AF, and my LP is 13 days.

Everything is just so uncertain and we have nothing to take our minds off it right now.

Aaaargh! I really need to stop obsessing but it’s just impossible! What would you guys do if you were me right now?

@TheOrangeMonster oh the wind I have!! Its enough to power a wind turbine!

@AnxiousAnnie86 @Blossom428 I woke up to bleeding this morning ! Its more like old blood than new blood but im so worried! Midwife said to contact GP if it gets heavier and to test again in a week! Wish they would have referred me to the EPU 😔

@Spinksy9 oh I'm sorry! Sorry for tmi but is it brown? When I was pregnant before I had brown blood for a couple of weeks from 6-8 and it was nothing, jus old blood, have you any cramps or anything? X

@TheOrangeMonster it's hard if you don't know when you ovulated, my boobs can get sore from 2dpo or nothing until 9 dpo! What does your husband want you to do? Test? Maybe next month you could just temp and nothing else? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 yes its brown. Not like fresh red blood. No pain at the moment. Still vomiting. I've stopped taking my anti sickness just so I can keep an eye on whether it disappears x

@Spinksy9 you could always take yourself down to the epu or a and e? I'm sure they would scan you for reassurance, but honestly try not to worry about brown blood, when I had my mc, I had really really bad cramps for days and then the bleeding started and started very very quickly and heavily,

I had brown with my daughter she's 13 now! But I do remember it very clearly, Xx

@Spinksy9 I’ve never been pregnant so I don’t know if this normally happens but @AnxiousAnnie86’s experience sounds reassuring (?) also old blood suggests it’s not a current issue, you may not be actively bleeding right now, if that makes sense?

@AnxiousAnnie86 my husband wants me not to test unless we get to next Friday without AF showing up.

I woke up all night through the night with my half awake muddled brain worrying that if I laid in a certain way my period would start, then I had a dream I was in labour. 😅

@Spinksy9 I agree with Annie, I’m sure you could pay a visit for reassurance if you wanted. I hope it clears up for you soon, it sounds so stressful on top of the sickness etc. 😞

@TheOrangeMonster what cycle day are you on now? Did

@Gemster19 just read about 3rd cycle ttc! Jeeeeez I'm on my 13th 🥺

Thank you ladies.
There doesn't seem to be anymore right now so trying to keep positive.

If the bleeding starts again im going to contact my GP and ask for a referral to the EPU. I dont think we can just turn up without a referral here.
I have no pain or cramping so hoping it is just old blood. I have an early scan booked for the 5th so just trying to focus on that x

@Spinksy9 I don't think you can here but if you went to a and e they would see you, honestly don't worry too much about it, your uterus is stretching etc and the brown blood is just old lining etc that's what I was told! I very very clearly remember having it and for some reason it didn't concern me and I mentioned it to midwife and she explained! That was with my daughter and I also had the most horrific sickness ever x

@AnxiousAnnie86 I just felt that this time she was more dismissive than when I had my chemical. Maybe they are just use to it and I need to chill.
Just going to try and relax and wait to see what next week brings if no more bleeding happens x
