Hi everyone,

Setting up the new thread for us - we have come a long way since January and sadly a few of us are still on the "journey". Let's hope we arent here for much longer. Wishing us all baby dust (although its been so long I am not sure dust will do it for me - maybe will have to up the particle size to "baby sand" )

Ttc ladies:

And our recent bfps who i know like to check in :)

@eml I totally get it when you are late and know you aren’t pregnant you just want AF to show up so you can get onto the next cycle.

I’m due AF tomorrow and I’m all over the place can’t stop symptom spotting. My period has been early 3-4 day’s since March this year so I’m thrown to have got this far. Strange each morning I’m having awful cramps and il like here it comes and nothing. Also my boobs aren’t larger or tender like usual before my period. I keep telling myself AF is coming so I’m not as upset when it does appear

@ELM7
Good morning glad your cycle has restarted and hopefully this is your lucky month 💚💚💚 cd20 for me so any where between 7 or 8 dpo did not temp this cycle was trying to take the stress away and I have to say I'm a lot more relaxed this month and it's not dragging in as much lol which is a bonus. 💚💚💚💚

27DONFIN · 08/09/2020 10:51

@Babyghirl I didn’t use my ovulation tests this month and I definitely helped me relax more this month. I’d only say it’s since Friday Iv started getting the monthly fear.

On another note....Celtic fan by any chance? lol 💚

Babyghirl · 08/09/2020 10:55

@27DONFIN
It has helped me relax loads, from I met my husband to be I have no other choice to be one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he is celtic mad lol has a celtic bar build out the bck to lol. Xx

27DONFIN · 08/09/2020 11:03

@Babyghirl I noticed the green hearts reading the feed and only there I noticed the spelling of Ghirl and thought that can only mean one thing 😂💚

Annny27 · 08/09/2020 11:09

@elm7 glad you finally got your period but upsetting that ita no pregnancy :( do you know when you ovulated or do you think it was an anovulatory cycle?

@27donfin welcome as well, I also started ttc in june 2019! Feels so long ago. We conceived in septemver and miscarried in november and this is our 9th month trying after the miscarriage

@27donfin @Babyghirl my dads a Glasgow lad but he is blue through and through 😂 not a fan of football so luckily not involved in the rivalry haha

27DONFIN · 08/09/2020 11:22

@Annny27 it’s a very different experience ttc then I ever thought it would be I think I was very naive about it all.

@Annny27 @Babyghirl how funny us having a Glasgow connection

Babyghirl · 08/09/2020 14:04

@27DONFIN
Think when in school we where told it only takes one time made us nieve, nw we r acc trying it's proven to be difficult. And us girls being through wat we been through makes the ttc a lot more harder. That's two things we have in common nw 💚💚

ELM7 · 09/09/2020 09:12

@27DONFIN it’s been a long couple of weeks waiting for AF arrival but yep
Just been keen for it to hurry up on the hope that this new cycle will be back to normal.

@Annny27 I’m really not sure if I ovulated or not I had a couple of days with a low high reading on OPK but never a peak. Whilst had the frustration of waiting to see when AF arrived at least this cycle I didn’t have any symptom spotting as really didn’t think there was a chance of being pregnant so also no disappointment when AF finally arrived.

27DONFIN · 09/09/2020 16:34

AF due today all morning had a constant dull cramp which isn’t like me I usually wake up to my period and full on you know it’s your period cramp. Been avoiding the toilet all day as I keep feeling wet like it’s started but I go and nothing. OH has text asking if it’s arrived and when I said no he asked when will I test I snapped back saying don’t know not thinking about it. I honestly can’t face testing I hate seeing those painful words. Just been to the toilet had clear discharge with a tiny spec of brown in it thought he we go but nothing as yet. I wish I could fast forward a few days I hate this part. I think I know in my heart AF will appear 😢 I hate this monthly heartbreak. Sorry for the rant ladies just had to vent been wanting to come on all day but scared I jinxed it by talking about it which I know is stupid

Annny27 · 10/09/2020 08:33

Morning :) 8dpo today so in 2nd oart of tww :D

@27DONFIN any sign of her today??fingers crossed no. Totally when it gets to the end of the tww you just want to know!!!

@ELM7 nice to have a month free of symptom apotting! Anything you think might have resulted in your long cycle e.f. different vitamins or something?

@babyghirl you are a few days ahead of me - any symptoms?

OP posts:
Babyghirl · 10/09/2020 08:45

@Annny27
Bot 8 to ten dpo today nope but I'm trying my hardest not to symptom spot lol, really more relaxed this month to nt dragging in as much cycle day 22 so bot 5 more days to the witch shows her face you any symptoms 💚💚💚

27DONFIN · 10/09/2020 08:50

@Annny27 it AF is here arrived. Had a cry driving home from work even though it hadn’t actually started but I knew. Went to a class at the gym and felt a lot better after that. OH was gutted when I told him but he’s said he’s going to call his old Gp to get info he needs to register with our local one and can proceed with tests. So I feel better knowing that.

How’s everyone else?

Babyghirl · 10/09/2020 09:15

@27DONFIN
Bot 8 to 20 dpo nw bot 5 more days to my period I was hoping I never fell pregnant this month last 2 times I have fell was September and I lost the both off them so would be in my head it's nt a good month lol, but I was nt preventing it either so what will be will be. Got an app with Ford tonite for a new car so that's keeping my mind off it and I'm excited. Sorry the witch is on her way and hoping she goes away soon for 9 months 💚💚💚💚💚

27DONFIN · 10/09/2020 11:54

@Babyghirl thanks 💚 for having my period I’m in a strangely chirpy mood this morning 🤞🏻 It lasts and I’m not in tears tonight lol

Babyghirl · 10/09/2020 12:00

@27DONFIN
I be like that when she arrives think it's because I'm on to a new cycle and can get trying again soon lol, I'm always positive coming up to ovulation 😂😂😂😂😂😂 x

Annny27 · 11/09/2020 10:16

Morning everyone! 9dpo for me :) nothing of note, bigger boobs like usual in the tww and a little bit more tired (I get so lazy in the luteal phase haha)

Sorry that she arrived :( @27DONFIN I always find i am sadder the day before when I know she is on the way!

@Babyghirl a new car will be a nice distraction :D

How are you @fizzl @Ljm0101 @Nuggetlover27 @ELM7

27DONFIN · 11/09/2020 11:07

@Annny27 I spoke too soon I had a small melt down last night and a full scale one this morning 🙄

Ljm0101 · 11/09/2020 18:03

Aww good luck for the TWW @Annny27.
@27DONFIN I'm sorry she got you this month 😞.
I'm ok thank you @Annny27 I'm getting there, the bleeding has finally stopped but I did a test the other morning and it still said positive which was a bit of a blow 😞 the hospital had said they would ring me to check in about 2 weeks ago but I haven't heard anything.
I'm back at school now so it's nice to have a bit of normality back. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 xxx

Babyghirl · 11/09/2020 20:56

@Annny27
Looking forward to getting it's a 2020 Ford fiesta St line g in white, something to look forward to. You any symptoms 💚💚

Annny27 · 13/09/2020 09:02

morning everybody:D 11dpo for me! No symptoms just the bigger tww boobs and feeling a bit hotter at night but nothing of note. Got to the point now where I am actually not even tempted to test early. First few cycles I'd be cracking out the tests from 9dpo. Now I feel 0 excitement about early testing - so saving money I guess 😂🤞

@Babyghirl any symptoms for you lovely? Car sounds lovely:D when do you get it?

@Ljm0101 ahh sorry rhat test is still positive! Mine was positive for about 3-4 weeks later, I had blood tests and the hcg was just really slow to leave my body

@27DONFIN how are you feeling now?

OP posts:
Babyghirl · 13/09/2020 09:31

@Annny27
In about 2 weeks have to wait on it being delivered lol only 3 off them left and none in r show rooms in Belfast lol. Bot 11 or 12 dpo for me and no symptoms so I think the witch will be here right on que I'm OK with that thou cause I did not want to get pregnant this month tbh because off my last two pregnancy's I fell in September and lost them so I'm ready for a new month lol.

SunnySideUp2020 · 13/09/2020 10:08

@Annny27 will have everything crossed for you x
When is af due?
I had 0 symptoms. Apart from the boobs

Fizzl · 13/09/2020 10:20

Morning everyone 😊 hope you are all doing ok!

I've been away for a few days so tried to have a bit of a digital detox...

@Annny27 I'm doing well thanks - 9dpo today and no sign of AF arriving yet like she did on this day last month! I've had my bloods taken to test progesterone and should get the results on Monday. Typically this is the month where my progesterone seems to be doing what it should - my temps have stayed consistently nice and high and my boobs have also been hurting since ovulation which since my mc they haven't done! My acupuncturist asked if I'd had any change in symptoms and I actually mentioned the lack of sore boobs since mc as i could t understand why they'd stopped hurting and thought it was linked to my short cycles. I don't think this is any kind of symptom as they have been hurting since ovulation so far too early to mean anything.

I had acupuncture a few days after ovulation and the following day I had quite bad cramps and my back was killing! I was a little hopeful it might mean something was happening but in reality I think it was more to do with the amount of walking we did 🤦🏼‍♀️. Otherwise nothing exciting to report. I'm holding off until Tuesday to test as normally AF would have arrived by then. But like you @Annny27 I strangely don't have any strong desire to test! I'm feeling quite chilled this month.

On a separate note I've been struggling still with my heart skipping a beat! So much so the doctors did an ecg the other day. They only did it for a min but picked up a skipped beat on there so they're testing my bloods to see if there is any reason for it. If not, I've been told it's just one of those things and most likely harmless - not totally reassuring when it's happening so often😱. Of course I've been googling (I'll never learn) and it does seem linked to stress and anxiety but I'm not consciously feeling that stressed but wondering if all this ttc business is taking its toll a bit.

Anyway, hope you've all had a lovely weekend - let's hope next week brings us some BFPs! 🤞
