Was excited to test today but masseuse told me there's no baby 😭 Could cry.

Gym this month, no smoking, no drinking, super healthy, bbt!!!

Trying to stay positive but this is so hard. Partner let slip to dad at the weekend and mum's started knitting a baby blanket ☹️

MummyToPrince · 07/10/2020 16:10

@RBCoxie oh thats awful I'm sorry af has been horrible for you, not long now and you will be out the woods with her and hopefully won't be seeing her for 9 months 🤞🤞🤞

Hi everyone. I hope the attachment works this time! Still hadn't got AF today so took a new test and line looks way darker than on my previous attempts. Haven't quite absorbed this info yet...

@proteacat congratulations! How exciting! X

BettyM90 · 07/10/2020 16:47

@Imworthit sorry to hear that :( try not to get to deflated (easier said than done, I know) x

RBCoxie · 07/10/2020 17:36

@MummyToPrince ah thanks lovely - I hope so! Over halfway through now 🤞🏼 How're you feeling? Exciting about your OPK today, it already looks quite strong!

@proteacat ahhhh HUGE congratulations! There is no doubting that that is a BFP! Amazing news!!

jules5232 · 07/10/2020 17:37

Hey ladies! Just getting caught up on everyone after being away for a bit. Once AF showed up it was kinda hard to be thinking too much about anything related, but here we are again. Cycle #8 🤨 hope everyone is having a good day!

MummyToPrince · 07/10/2020 18:43

@proteacat Huge congratulations to you!

@RBCoxie surprising nervous to be honest 😂 but I'm not going to symptom spot or test early this time then I can't get so deflated! Not long hun and you will soon be doing your opks :-D x

@proteacat Great news, congratulations!

@MummyToPrince When we did OPKs last month, it was really up and down for the first couple of weeks, anything from 0% to 50% according to the app we were using. No gradual pattern to it at all. Then on CD21 (so later than expecting!) it was 80% in the morning and 110% that evening, so registered as peak, then went back down over the next day or two.

So I wouldn't worry much about the pattern beforehand - might not go gradually up, might just peak one day out of nowhere! Keep testing!

BellaBella84 · 07/10/2020 19:24

@proteacat Yesss! 🥳

proteacat · 07/10/2020 19:31

Thank you everyone! I'm still in shock tbh.. I thought after others faint lines this one was soon to go too... sending everyone baby dust for their next cycle 💖

MummyToPrince · 07/10/2020 19:34

@bigblueboots Thank you so much that's so interesting, what times are best to test if I plan on testing twice a day? X

@proteacat woohoooo! That’s a huge BFP. Congratulations xx

RBCoxie · 07/10/2020 19:56

@MummyToPrince ahh I can imagine! I know I'll feel exactly the same when the time comes! Actually quite looking forward to doing the OPKS! 😂 feeling quite positive for our plan this month. Yes!! No symptom spotting or early testing. If I even remotely mention early testing you have permission to be the Early Testing Police and shout at me! 😂 x

We just went FMU and sometime in the evening - not scientifically thought out, but it was when we would always both be together and since DW is the one getting pregnant, I've been chief wee tester! Blush

Imworthit · 07/10/2020 20:19

@proteacat Congrats 🎉🎊👏 every new mummy gives me hope. So so happy for you!

Imworthit · 07/10/2020 20:36

Just in case anyone is interested. I've been getting massage for about 6 weeks to help relax/prepare for baby. Without even asking she told me my period was due, no bun yet. Asked how she knew and she said obviously nothing is foolproof (we all know nothing is when it comes to this) but the inside of my feet would be puffer.

Useless information for you all 😂😂😂

@RBCoxie 😂 Yeeeeess!! I give you full permission to shout at me too! Swear at me if you have too 😂 we've got this 🤞

@bigblueboots ah thank you I will do first thing in the morning and 8pm I think

My best friend and cousin had her baby today. Couldn't be happier! This wasn't my time it was hers. So so happy 😁 little Eilidh. Feel so blessed. So excited! So glad everything went well can't wait to meet her. Mumma and baby are healthy, happy. So esctatic 🎉🎊💐

Clove76 · 07/10/2020 22:20

Aw big congrats, @proteacat ! Amazing news :-)

@BettyM90 It’s still quite high today but I’m having no symptoms whatsoever, so I don’t feel that hopeful! Ohh that’s interesting about your flashing smiley on the OPK and the bleed. Could be implantation bleeding? Wouldn’t wish to get your hopes up, but I wouldn’t rule it out either! I also had a positive OPK very late in a cycle a few months ago, don’t know why that was. Our bodies are so confusing!

Clove76 · 07/10/2020 22:24

@Imworthit congrats to your cousin! What a lovely name Smile x

Imworthit · 08/10/2020 05:29

Couldnt get a stronger no 😔 9 dpo.

Where do you get the charts to log bbt? I bought pregnacare. Anyone make there man do anything for fertility? Honestly wish I had a wife right now! My dudes brilliant, but he'll never really get it. He has 2 beautiful children anyway. Fuckin love him for letting me do this bit wonder if I'd be less sad if I involved him more??

I've lost 2 babies, 19 and anorexic. And I have this bad feeling I'm barren because of what I've done. I'm not religious but it really haunts me that I killed my girls. Named them and everything. Mirlee blue & River. I know I'm not being punished but I'm scared

Felt really good to cry about my girls. Gonna make a new appointment with my councilor tomorrow cause I clearly need to deal with this before I have a living baby.

Sorry for the drama lama, I just broke tonight. 💋❤️💐

MummyToPrince · 08/10/2020 07:09

@Imworthit Don't ever apologise for sharing how your feeling, we are all here for you, if you want to scream and shout we have ears to listen, I do agree with you with trying to get an appointment with a councilor, however I do believe that you can do this yourself, we all have pasts and we have to accept our past for us to be able to live for the future, the world wasn't ready for your girls same as the world wasn't ready for my little boy but I was then granted with a happy health nearly 2 year old and he changed everything for me and the way I think... Work on yourself and it will all fall into place, I promise... I hope all this makes sense xx

@MummyToPrince hahaha yes! Deal! We've totally got this 😊 one more day to go for me! AF is finally getting lighter.

@Imworthit I think it's really brave of you to share how you're feeling, so that's a positive in itself. I think it's a good idea to speak to a professional and have them to talk to about what's happened in the past. I know only too well that's it's easier said than done, but try to remember that 9DPO is still very early. I think it would help involving your partner too - I know I would find this process a lot harder without the support of my husband (he's also taking Wellman Conception Vitamins by the way!). He's my go to for absolutely everything so I need him throughout this journey just as much as he needs me.
