@kirinm I don’t mind at all.

I was 5 weeks when I was starting to feel “wrong”

The pregnancy test as officially over at 6 weeks, but wasn’t confirmed until 8 weeks, then surgery at 10.

I know you never asked all that, but I never know how to answer it. Xx

LT103 · 01/09/2020 19:49

@Sansa87 sounds promising that no more spotting. Do you have your appointment for bloods yet?

Sansa87 · 01/09/2020 19:57

@LT103 I haven’t rung my gp yet to inform them I’m pregnant. I felt like I was jinxing it it I did it early again 🙈

I hope you guys don’t mind me here, I think I’m my head I’m still ttc, desperately hoping this one sticks.

LT103 · 01/09/2020 20:04

@Sansa87 not all all!!! I hate the fact that once people get pregnant you never hear how things went!

MrsB2019x · 01/09/2020 20:15

Yeah I’m glad you’ve stuck around @Sansa87 most of the others left as soon as they got pregnant! ☹️ Hope you are okay.

Good luck for testing @LT103 🤞

I’m 2DPO, such a boring time in the 2ww 😂 boobs are starting to hurt as usual now though!

whambam89 · 01/09/2020 20:21

@Sansa87 I agree, I love hearing how people are doing once they get their bfp so it's nice you've stuck around!

I think looking at these OPKs that I may have got my peak yesterday afternoon / earlier this morning had I been using these rather than the CB - they seem to be fading slowly but surely and I've had a ridiculous amount of EWCM today (sorry tmi!) Will keep testing with them just to be sure

LT103 · 01/09/2020 20:45

@whambam89 I’d agree. Maybe peak was late last night/earlier this morning.

Sansa87 · 01/09/2020 20:46

Which idiot took a test at half 8 in the evening after drinking and wee’ing lots all day 🙄😂

It’s a Poundland cheapie, and there is a line, but it’s not that much darker than the one I took Saturday.

I definitely need distractions from my potentially hypochondriac ass 😂

I love you guys still want me around too. I love seeing how people are doing, cheering you on, & also have the support. I feel a bit out of place in the pregnancy threads too, & we’re all going on this journey together ❤️😘

Sansa87 · 01/09/2020 20:52

Sat mornig vs 2030hrs tonight... okay it’s a bit darker which has helped.

@whambam89 I know nothing about opk’s really. I just relied on the cb sticks to tell me when to do the naughty, but all the positive thinking!

@MrsB2019x @whambam89 I'm still here, silently checking on you all and wishing you lots of love! 😉 I guess I feel like I shouldn't be here but want to be check in on you ladies.

@Sansa87 Your initial symptoms symptoms sound very similar to mine! I know it's scary but I've read sooo many posts about brown spotting and it's usually only red that is sometimes a cause of concern (but often not). Sending you lots of virtual hugs! My cramps have never stopped btw. I had sore boobs and bloating at first, but I don't really have that now - just waves of nausea (and the cramps!). Xx

whambam89 · 01/09/2020 21:09

@LT103 I don't think I could persuade OH to DTD again tonight so let's hope there's plenty of swimmers hanging around waiting for my egg from the last few days!

Sansa87 · 01/09/2020 21:12

Thanks @LeopardLover This group really is the best isn’t it ❤️

whambam89 · 01/09/2020 21:12

@sansa87 that's definitely darker!

I've had 8 days of flashing smileys on the CB now which has made me lose faith in them a little bit! Started on CD12 and today (CD19) still flashing. We've DTD so far on CD14,16&18 and will do tomorrow CD20 hopefully will catch it..

whambam89 · 01/09/2020 21:15

@LeopardLover how are you getting on? I know what you mean, we need a cross over category where those of us still TTC can be as well as everyone from the thread with a BFP!

Sansa87 · 01/09/2020 21:19

@whambam89 I had 9 days of flashing smilies this cycle, don’t lose faith ❤️

LeopardLover · 01/09/2020 21:26

@whambam89 Sorry you've had so many flashing smilies - you've done so well though, definitely don't feel bad for taking a break - it's exhausting! Hopefully static will arrive tomorrow. 😊

We definitely need a little cross over thread! I'm doing okay, thank you. Time just seems to be going really slowly, and I'm wishing I felt more sick because that's considered a "good sign" but when I feel sick it's awful and I can't concentrate at work haha. I'm 6+5 today. Have a scan booked in for 8+2 so wishing the time away (it feels just like when I'd wish the TWW away!!). Xx

LT103 · 01/09/2020 21:40

@Sansa87 that is much darker!!! Fingers crossed for you!!

@LeopardLover how exciting. Not long til you get to see the scan!!!

whambam89 · 01/09/2020 21:53

@Sansa87 perhaps I'll get my static tomorrow - it's my last stick so if I don't then I'll have to rely on the cheapies!

@LeopardLover I remember that feeling too well, praying for symptoms and then wishing them away when you do get them! Hopefully it comes round nice and quickly for you - make sure you update us once you've had the scan, I love a scan picture! X

LeopardLover · 01/09/2020 22:22

@LT103 Thank you! Counting down 😅 Every week is a huge milestone at this stage.

@whambam89 Thank you so much - will do!! 💕 Crossing my fingers for your static xx

BuckleUp · 01/09/2020 22:32

I'm still here too! I've been keeping up to date with everyone's progress, but don't want to upset anyone by still hanging around too visibly. I know TTC can be really draining emotionally. Partly I don't feel properly pregnant until I reach the 12 week mark.. it feels too soon to be part of the pregnancy threads and too insensitive to stick around on here complaining about nausea. Definitely thinking of you all regularly and sending baby dust ✨

MrsB2019x · 01/09/2020 22:42

Aww glad to see some of you still popping up! I can see why you’d feel like treading on toes in here but this has been such a tight knit supportive group it would be a shame to lose you all!

@whambam89 Sounds like you’ve DTD at pretty good times to catch it, everything crossed for you 🤞

@Sansa87 For 8:30 at night with dilute pee that’s a lovely line! In the nicest way, put the sticks down 😘

Sansa87 · 02/09/2020 06:06

@MrsB2019x I think I only have a frer, & a cb digital week one, so should be okay not testing now 😂 well, until I brave it and use the week one 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

How are you girls doing this morning?

whambam89 · 02/09/2020 07:25

@Sansa87 hopefully you can resist using them for at least a few days then!

Day 9 of flashing smiley this morning and no more sticks left. Will be using a cheapy opk mid morning to see what my lines are doing but I feel like I either ovulated yesterday / am due to ovulate today.

BuckleUp · 02/09/2020 07:34

@MrsB2019x It's nice to keep up with everyone's journey, we've supported each other through so far so it seems a shame to suddenly disappear completely.

@kirinm I'm glad you're feeling better, it sounds like you've had a really rough month. I'd be tempted to give my body a break from ttc for a cycle and give yourself plenty of recovery time. Thinking of you x

@BabyH88 Have you tested again yet? Your symptoms sound promising! Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Sounds like something has been in the air this month though with super long cycles and tonnes of flashing smilies. It's like our bodies just enjoy messing with our heads!

MrsBtobe2020 · 02/09/2020 07:52

I have missed so much since I last looked! Have been trying to give myself a thinking-about-pregnancy break since AF came, after the 6 week cycle last month I'm just trying to keep an open mind on the opks and accept that it might be ages til I get a positive. Dtd every other day or so anyway! Hope everyones ok though ❤️
