@MichT4 I’m not really 100% sure what to expect from my appointment or what it’s going to entail. My GP referred me after my 2nd chemical, cos in total we had then had 3 MC. So they referred me & this is my first appt. I don’t think we will need it as I’ll have my BFP before the 9th 😉

Hope you’re feeling a bit better after distancing yourself. Sometimes you just need to be in your own space for some time. You have us to be involved and invested in your TTC journey xxxx

@Pugprincess Thanks for that! I don't know why dating pregnancies still really confuses me!! Xx

@HappyVibes so have you had to wait long then? You definitely won't need it, but go anyway and ask about your early scans 🥰

Yeah I think this is something I just want to share with OH and you ladies now. It's the only support I need at the moment. No judgement, just great chats with amazingly strong women 💕💕💕 xx

@GanderousGoose welcome to the thread, I'm also in the TWW - 5DPO but feel it's really dragging. There's a bunch of us in a similar time frame so hopefully we get some lovely BFPs between us 😊
Sorry to hear of your losses, you'll find lots of lovely ladies here to chat to and no judgement xxx

@GanderousGoose sorry you find yourself here but you’ll see this is an amazing group to be in
@MichT4 I think you’re doing the right thing distancing yourself from your family a little. It’s all about who can make you feel better at the moment.
@chloedancer897 I do temp actually. No dip this morning yet! Phew haha but I’ve had a steady temperature for the past three days so there maybe a dip tmr or Monday!
Good morning ladies! Happy Saturday xxx

@MichT4 good morning lovely! So morning...I have no idea why I’ve been awake so long on a Saturday.

I don’t feel I waited long for the appt tbf, it was much sooner than I initially anticipated. My GP sent the referral mid-late June & my appt is for 9th sept. In between that I’ve needed another cycle to ensure I have bloods taken so it’s worked out as quick as it can be I guess. I was quite impressed tbf and glad that everything’s still up & running without delay so hopefully you get a similar feel girl xxxx

Morning everyone

Also up stupid early on a Saturday, but that's because we are off to get the puppy this morning 💙💙

@HappyVibes that sounds like a manageable wait, I can only hope for the same. Where abouts are you? Bit of a postcode lottery isn't it.

@Firevie yeah I think I probably am, I'm a bit sad about my Mum, I think she feels terrible she might have upset me. The last message she had sent me on thirsssj she said she was worried and felt really upset and I just ignored her. To be fair I was going through some stuff on Thursday so it wasn't completely intentional. I might have to patch things over with my mum as I never actually told her loads. But you're right, I think I don't need people bringing me down about what we might or might not be doing. It's our choice, and you need positivity and people who understand you. I'm happy my sister doesn't understand, but it's just easier keeping things distant regarding TTC. I only told her because of the holiday, so business as usual from now.

Let us know about your OPK today.

So, I know none of you in your TWW are symptom spotting, but......anyone got any feels? xx

• Thursday. God knows what that even says 😂

Oooo yay puppy day @MichT4 (awaiting puppy spam ❤️😅)

@GanderousGoose sorry you find yourself here but you will get lots of support here and pick up lots of ttc tips xx

I’m also awake at stupid o’clock, think bodyclocks set from working this past week 😬

Good morning ladies, glad to see I'm not the only one up early on a Saturday. I've been really busy with getting ready to move this week (part of me is glad I'm not pregnant still as there's been a lot of heavy lifting!) and today is the day of the big move! London to Cornwall!

Excitingly I am also just coming into my fertile window so will have to grab my OH at some point this weekend

I've not had time to comment but I've read everything that's happened to you all this week and I'm so invested omg My heart goes out to all of you xx

@Northernsoul90 earliest scan I had was 7w1, so nearly 4weeks after BFP 🤯 for me it was because I had scans around 6w and 7w last time and saw the HB so wanted to wait longer this time as odds really increase of a successful pregnancy around 8weeks. But you can definitely go in around 6weeks to see the initial flicker of the HB ❤️

Thanks again for all your kind words, the next scan is the NHS dating one which will be my first one alone (nearly scan buddies again @Pugprincess as mine is on the 7th)🤞 I am very happy and grateful and strangely zen for the first time in a while x

@MichT4 so excited for more puppy pics on his new massive bed 😂🥰

@susiebluebell ahh bet you can't wait for the fresh air of Cornwall, hope the move goes well ❤️

I got up just before 6 😴 my parents have changed my mattress at theirs and it's awful, I'm feeling very princess and the pea but I will be requesting a change of mattress before my next visit 😂

Hi all,

Sorry I've been away so long work has been absolutely manic and I only get time to glance through all the threads!

I'm on annual leave now and I can fibally relax a little. I've also been off the thread a bit cos I wanted to take a step back this cycle as I obsessed to much last cycle. But then bang I'm 5 days late with only bfn and a stomach that's rumbled for days and I'm frustrated and confused as hell, has anyone had this?
@MichT4 I've been following your journey when I can and I'm so sorry you have been through so much I really hope you get some help soon and your much deserved happy ending.

@VP91x I know you got your pcos diagnosis threads ago but I'm sorry to hear that but glad it's something manageable, I actually found out about pcos during lockdown when I got onto health and diet youtube vidoes and it came up as few times.

@Pugprincess congratualions on your pregnancy lovely scan pic x

@SmileyT thanks, I can't wait for that fresh air either! And the sea couldn't think of a lovelier place to start a family. Hope your mattress issues are resolved!

Reckon af on its way, woke this morning by really sore pains, went to loo certain she'd b there, they've gone now but am not hopeful any more 😥

@gizmo167 oh no sorry to hear but trust whatever it is you’ll be ready for it! And as long as she doesn’t show you don’t know for sure. We are here for you whatever happens xxx

Thanks @Firevie the stuff that I said in my head at half five this morning couldn't be repeated without the air turning blue I'll tell you lol! I feel absolutely gutted, I think i just held on to too much hope this month, our lost one would have been due middle of September so I'm aware of that and this month has been an awful one for me personally, I lost my mum in November & her 60th birthday wouldve been this month & my late husband's anniversary too so big milestones that would have been made so much easier by that bfp!

Welcome @GanderousGoose sorry for your losses, hopefully that bfp is here soon! The girls here are really supportive, I'm new here too x

@gizmo167 oh no sorry to hear about all the losses! That really is so hard to take! Don’t know how you’re holding it all together!!! It’s not wrong to have hope as that is what we are entitled too but of course you’re upset and disappointed that is also normal. Allow yourself to all these feelings. Once you’re ready you’ll get back up and rise and we will be here with you every step of the way! Xxx

@MichT4 just seen you’re picking up your puppy today!!! Awww please post pics xx

@MichT4 Aww that's so exciting that its puppy day!! ❤️ I bet you can't wait! I'm 5dpo today and I've had loads of cm yesterday and day before that's like lotion/milky wet. Will see if that continues today but whether that's a symptom who knows?!

I'm back at work on Tuesday for the first time in months and I think I'm subliminally worked up about it as my eczema is really flaring up - on my face of all places! I then worry that because I'm worried if an egg has fertilised it won't implant. I need to try and stay as calm and stress free as possible. It's such a vicious cycle.

@SmileyT Thanks for that! 🥰

@Emsnewmum Hello! Are your periods usually regular? How frustrating for you, I've once before had a cycle that went on for ages - week late on period and bfn when I was really stressed at work and I don't think I had ovulated. When did you last test? Xx

@gizmo167 Milestones are so hard aren't they 😔 I hope you are okay... It's frustrating because af signs and early pregnancy signs can be so similar. Last time I got bfp I was convinced I was starting my period as I had cramps just like it but then she didn't show and I turned out to be pregnant. Don't lose hope yet. How many dpo are you? When will you test? Xx

Can honestly say girls in all my years of periods & at my worst times when the pcos played havoc I haven't ever had symptoms like this month, ever! The headaches are the worst & i would usually have light cramping for maybe 2-3 days before af, a little brown discharge maybe a day or so before & side boobs but this cycle omw this has been going on a week now! If she would just show now & put me out of my misery!

Ladies just done OPKS as I will be out this pm. Somehow I don’t think morning is a good time for me. It’s dropped again ...so weird but still more than what it has been - attaching a pic for clarity. If I’m back in time I might do another one around 6pm. But since BBT also hasn’t yet dropped I think ovulation May be another couple of days, def on its way but may just be holding off until I can dtd with OH. What do you ladies think? Xxx

@nothernsoul
I've been pretty regular 31 days 32 at most but I get spotting on day 31 on my 32 day cycles. The only time I've been this late is after my first misscarriage and that was 37 days. So looks like this is going to be even longer or not at all. The worse thing is last time I thought id missed a period I gave up hope and two weeks later got sore boobs randomly thought Oh I must be ovulating but turned out I was pregnant but that ended in a missed misscarriage. If I do miss my period when should I expect ovulation? I have been very stressed at work but to be fare I often am and I've never missed a period in my life maybe this is a first x

@susiebluebell ah feeling jel of your big move! I moved the other way round a few years ago and miss the sea breeze and fresh air! London is amazing but still not quite over the grubby feeling when I get home

@Firevie I'd carry on testing, hopefully your peak coincides with your reunion with OH and you can get more than 1 day in!

@MichT4 not symptom spotting but was mega tired yesterday and also needing to pee way more than usual at night. That's only happened one night so will keep a semi eye on it over the next few days 👀
@Northernsoul90 I've had increased lotiony wet CM too. Argh who knows! Let's hope we both get BFPs- I'm just a day ahead at 6DPO (by Glow and Fertility Friend) but Fememoter decided yesterday to change me to 5DPO 🤷🏽‍♀️

@MrsK21 ooh exciting!!! Fingers crossed you get a BFP! Yes will Test once more this evening and will carry on every day until I’m back with OH! Let’s see. Hopefully even one day of DTD will get us there XX

Ooh sounds promising @MrsK21. And the CM is always a good sign @Northernsoul90

@Firevie yeah try again later and see what that shows. I think afternoons are generally better.

@gizmo167 that's so annoying. I started getting stronger AF symptoms after MC - seems so unfair! When are you testing again? Sorry, think I missed it.

Ladies, meet Loki. He is home now and already exhausted 🥰🥰
