SEPT 2020 BPF testing/ two week wait Gals 🤞🤞

[ChasingRainbow]

Hi girls,
Im currently in the tww and wondering if anyone is too and wants to share their journey. Im currently 8DPO and am doing my best to NOT poas though its so hard! Im literally an addict...but so far so good. Im determined this time to not test before 12DPO!
Bit about me: im 37, Have been ttc for just over a year now and in that time sadly had a MMC x 2 and more recently an ectopic requiring tube removal. So afraid that I wont be able to concieve on the side of my existing tube but ya gota have hope, right?! Hoping for a rainbow baby on this our fourth attempt.

Symptoms so far:
-Bigger boobs but not sore (yet)

• loads of rumblings going on low down
• sleepy after food
• weight loss ( though im on the large side so no harm there!)
• odd lower back pain
• VERY emotional (poor hubbie!)

Would love to chat to ladies in a similar boat to symptom share and have a laugh with in this horrible tww fiasco! Fingers crossed for baby dust for all hoping for their BFP ✨🤰🤗❤

@Luckylola12 chin up pet. You will get there. There are always things that can be done to help -IF - there is a prob at all. Thats really good news all your bloods are clear. Have your cry but try not to lose faith.
And best of luck to you & OH on further testing. You guys deserve some luck after two years of this journey xxx ❤❤🦋

@hopefully2021il shall be seeing you in the Sept thread so! Wouldnt that be just awesome....a christmas announcement!
We have been trying for over a year. In that time had 2 x MMC three months apart and the third was an ectopic requiring tube removal st 7.4weeks.
So its been fairly sh*t in other words!
Not sure now if can even conceive at all on my existing tube as have congenital issue with that ovary. The good ovary was the one thats now tubeless 🙄
Still, they did remove a substantial amount of endometriosis that i didnt know I had during the op. So hopefully that gives me a better fighting chance. Failing that, its IVF

@hopefully2021 enjoy your cake and vino! We deserve it after the dreaded tww 😎🥳

@Rumples I so admire your self restraint. Though I do hope AF surprises you by staying away! Hope I dont see you in Sept thread but if I do the more the merrier!

Same goes for you @Luckylola12 xx

@ChasingRainbow I really do hope you get your little bundle of joy! Sorry to hear about your MMCs & ectopic - must have been awful for you and your partner , have the doctors said that it is still possible to conceive naturally - how long will you wait until you consider IVF?
Oh yes 100%, I just keep having to remind myself not to think the worse as we will be going into our 4th month of trying and I know being in your 30s it can take a bit longer - keep trying to tell myself there is nothing wrong with me but it feels like everyone around me is pregnant without even trying xxx

@hopefully2021 i know that feeling so well. Im honestly happy for other people but it just shines a mirror on your heart on your own sadness when ttc is taking more time than originally expected.
Docs seem to think I should take clomid and try for 3 months (given my age, im 37) then if no success, either do a hsg to check the existing fallopian tube for blockages or go straight to IVF.
I havent taken the meds yet, mainly due to side effects but mostly because I never had difficulty getting pregnant, just staying pregnant 😕

Meh, we will see what life throws at us. Honestly regret waiting so long to start trying for a family - but we are where are now. At least my ovarian reserve is good!
Its all the little things than give hope atm!
Love to all and virtual hugs to those who might need one today 🤗🥰

Thanks for the welcome ladies! So sorry @luckylola12 it's so gutting when af arrives. Hope you enjoy a nice glass of vino this weekend tho!

@chasingRainbow sorry to hear about your mmc & eptopic. Hoping you get your little one soon ❤️🤞

I have endometriosis and have been ttc on and off for the past 2 years. I got quite obsessive with testing previously and it really got me down so we took a break. I know some ladies with endo get pregnant but I can't help feeling like ill be one of the ones that doesn't. I suppose we all have those horrid feelings though?

Wishing everyone gets their bfps very soon!

Why do our bodies convince us so much we're pregnant when we aren't ill never know 😂
@hopefully2021 wow Christmas announcement would be amazing! If af arrives do enjoy the wine! Kind of wish I knew either way this weekend because my oh wants me to go out for his friend's birthday. Not sure I can be bothered anyway though 😂

Have a lovely day xx

@ChasingRainbow and @Luckylola12 I'm so sorry for you, I have absolutely everything crossed that September is a sticky month for you 🤞🏼 sending you lots of baby dust. ✨✨

I have felt awful all this week, headaches everyday, tiredness and haven't been able to sleep.

Safe to say I'm still sat on the toilet absolutely crying my eyes out 😭😭 is this my BFP? 👀

Most definitely @DontFadeAway congratulations!!!

Omg omg omg @DontFadeAway!!
This is an amazing line for 12DPO!
Huge congratulations honey, how wonderful 💞🎉 Fantastic news. Mummy to be! Xx

Holding out for some more fabulous news from other ladies, keep those BFP's coming x x x x

@ChasingRainbow @Jadeb1995 thank you both so much. I cannot stop crying!! Sending OH out to buy a clear blue later - I totally wasn't expecting this and was so scared to test I have prepared myself for a negative... explains the way I have felt this week!

Sending positive thoughts and luck to everyone else for both this cycle and next ♥️✨

Just catching up on messages, AF still hasn't shown her face, she was due wednesday/Thursday I think but had a BFN yesterday, gonna try my best to hold off testing today and test tomorrow morning if AF still isnt here. Something feels different today though, Cant put my finger on it, it doesnt feel like a good feeling either. Idk, it's weird, I feel really heavy in my pelvic area. Like its weighing me down and I'm assuming its AF on her way 😔
This week has felt like a month.

@Jessicatayla while I dont want to get your hopes up, that does sound very promising, your heavy pelvic feeling. Hoping you get your BFP 🤞🦋

@DontFadeAway awwh, enjoy this very special moment. Its very special. See good things are worth waiting for. Sending you lots and lots of love for a healthy & happy nine months. Or, well eight months and a bit! Xx

@Imog heres hoping you get your BFP very soon. Endo is a b**ch but thankfully, theres things that help that too. Two of my very close friends got their BFPs one month after they had their laps. So there you go! X

@DontFadeAway aww yay another BFP - congratulations!

@Rumples thank you so much! ♥️✨

Congrats @DontFadeAway🥰🥰🥰

Hello! Please can I join? (have name changed for this).
AF due on the 8th. Couldn’t resist POAS already (obviously!) - I have 3 from today, yesterday and the day before that have all turned faint positive but getting slightly stronger, they all developed slightly after the time frame so I doubted myself and have now dipped two tests in tap water to see if they developed the same line in case it was an evap - nothing there at all in those two.
I know it’s just a waiting game but I’m driving myself insane now!
TTC our first - this is our fourth cycle smile

Congrats @DontFadeAway what a lovely line!!! 😁😁

@Jessicatayla @LT103 thank you so much! I haven't stopped crying 😂♥️

Congratulations @DontFadeAway. You said you’ve felt awful this last week? Do you mind me asking how? I had cramping for three / four days which has stopped today. I’ve been getting headaches and falling asleep at lunch time... then last night I fell asleep at 7:30 and slept for 12 hours! My cycles are irregular, anywhere between 28-35 days and it’s CD 27 today but I have no idea when to test. Might test tomorrow or Sunday morning. Can’t decide

And @ChasingRainbow I’m really sorry to hear what’s happened. I hope next month is your month

@SeekingCoffee33 thank you! I've had a consistent headache for the last week or so, hot flushes (particularly at night) I've been super tired, going to bed at 8 most days which isn't like me! I had lower back twinges on Monday and the odd spell of nausea/stomach twinge. Also over the last couple of days I've been sneezing a lot, think I've developed a mild cold!

I've got everything crossed for you, they are all positive signs. I was unsure about testing just because I had convinced myself it would be a negative and there was no point, but I was awake most of last night just feeling "off." Good luck and keep us posted! 🤞🏼✨

Welcome @CoffeeNoMilk @SeekingCoffee33

Have you a wee pic you want us to have a squint at?!

Best of luck. Hopefully this IS your time. Babydust ✨❤

Waiting for Amazon to deliver a pack of First Response. It says it’ll be delivered before 9pm which usually means a late delivery. Think I’ll either pick up a cheapie while I’m out or wait till tomorrow. Wish my headache would go away!
