Good luck to all you ladies at end of 2ww!!! Hope to see lots of bfps 🙏

I'm ok. 8ish dpo ATM and I think I'm out. I don't feel much today except for having a cold so I think my symptoms were me just getting sick 🥺

Morning ladies, I am now currently cd40 and af is 10 days late! I'm Nauseous, achy back, funny taste in my mouth but have had two bfn so far! Never been late before unless I was pg and I've no idea what's going on

@LittleAurora
It is way too early!!! Implantation occurs between 7/8 days , and then 2 days after for hcg to start rising. I drank too much to make a decent effort this time and my husband definately did so thinkmits unlikely but we did manage to donit once near ovulation and then once a few days before so will see xx

Happy Friday ladies! I'm 6dpo so nothing much to report. AF is due 15th Jan, and our first appointment at the fertility clinic is on 14th Jan, so either way I have something positive to look forward to at the end of this cycle 😊

Oh no @Marvellouslymadmum I wonder what's going on! Do you know when you ovulated?

Hi @Kitekat81 no I've no idea! I was tracking my bbt but it's doesn't seem to tell me a lot then with everything around Christmas I forgot for a few days and that happened to be right around ovulation ish time lol but my longest cycle previously abs been 31 days and so I've no clue what's going on now I'm hoping it was late ovulation and I'm still in the running for that bfp but I've no clue

Agh @Marvellouslymadmum that does make things a bit tricky! Do you have any bbt info from your previous cycles, so do you know what your pre-ov and post-ov temp ranges are? If so you could start temping again now. If your temps are in the higher range then that might suggest that you did ovulate and you are still in with a chance for a bfp. If your temps are in the lower range then it might suggest that either you did ovulate but temps are dropping and af on its way, or that you perhaps didn't ovulate this cycle? I really hope it's the first of all these options! 🤞 Obviously temping is not a foolproof solution, but it might give you some more information and help you to feel a bit more in control of what's going on!

@Kitekat81 I have got the previous few cycles temps, I'll have to try and have another look at them but to be honest they didn't seem to be following any kind of patterns from what I could gather! I can start taking them again from the morning abs see if that gives me any kind of indicators whatsoever lol

Might be worth a try @Marvellouslymadmum, I can't think of anything else other than just waiting patiently! Good luck and keep us updated!

@Kitekat81 thank you I'll definitely give it a try I'm hoping to make myself to wait again to test until next Wednesday if I still haven't had af turn up

Hi ladies. Unfortunately I've had some sad news today. I've had a MMC and the littlie stopped growing a few weeks ago. I'll be going in for medical management next week and then may be back on here depending on what we decide to do next.

So sorry to hear that @Sleeeeeepy , please take it easy and be kind to yourself ❤️. I have a private scan on Tuesday and I'm expecting to be told the same. I'm 7 weeks but had covid the last couple of weeks. I am on progesterone pessaries which I believe may be masking any bleeding etc

@Sleeeeeepy so sorry to hear that, I had a similar thing a couple of years ago and people just don't realise how sad it is. Eat some comfort food and stay positive

9dpo poas in the late evening. Have convinced myself there is the faintest of faint lines.

Omg @Sleeeeeepy I'm so utterly sorry for you! 😔😔😔 I'm coming to the end (I hope) of a natural MC, so please don't hesitate to message me if you need a chat or anything. Hope the surgical management goes as best as it can! Please look after yourself and give yourself extra TLC! Sending you much love! 😘😘😘😘😘😘

@Sleeeeeepy i am so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself

@M4v3r1ck sorry you going through this. Wishing you good luck for your next cycle

@LittleAurora can't see anything atm. You're not out until af shows.

@Sleeeeeepy so sorry for your loss 💐

And sorry too @SS123456 to hear that you are worried, will be thinking of you on Tuesday xx

Thanks very much @Kitekat81 ❤️

Oh @Sleeeeeepy 😔 very sorry for you xxx

@SS123456 thinking of you too xxx

@Sleeeeeepy so sorry to hear this 😞 it’s such a difficult thing to process I know, it will get easier in time. Sending 🙏 and positive thoughts your way.

@SS123456 praying for a little miracle for you 🙏 sorry to hear you are going through that.

Thankyou ladies. I'm very sad but also feeling pretty positive if that makes sense. I'm looking forward to not feeling nauseous any more and school nursery reopens tomorrow so the midnight working will be on pause for now.

This is such a lovely group, sending positive vibes out to all of you xx

Morning all, hope you all are doing well

Hi everyone, happy Monday, hope you are all doing ok. I'm 9dpo, really struggling to think about anything non-ttc today. Lockdown is rubbish, there are hardly any distractions to take our minds off it! My colleague has now officially announced her pregnancy, so now I need to arrange her maternity leave and at some point, her maternity cover. Obviously I'm delighted for her, it's lovely news, just really want it to be my turn soon 😢
