[AnxiousAnnie86]

Hey ladies, please add anyone I haven't included.... and welcome to any newbies!

@Blossom428 @TheOrangeMonster @Gemster19 @WaitingForEgg @Chlo2701 @bwfcchick88

[Blossom428]

Ohh good 😆😊 how exciting!! So in pregnancy world you would be 4weeks now? Or because it goes off when you last had your period would you be further?

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Blossom428 Well yeah, if we go off last period I'm 6 + 3 but I'm not, I'm 4 + 3 as I know when I ovulated so going off that. Due date would be my best friends birthday...

Did you get another flashing this morn? X

[AnxiousAnnie86]

Bottom ones today

[Blossom428]

Ahh Yeahh!! @AnxiousAnnie86 that's good to see how strong the line is on the strip tests!
Aww cute! Would it be July time?

I'm really praying that it works for me this time, as then I wouldn't be pregnant for one of my best friends wedding 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Blossom428 how you doing?? Got your static yet?

[TTCagainHOPEFUL]

Sorry I’ve been quiet. I got my AF. Gutted doesn’t cut it. We genuinely thought this month would be the month. I got some vit D so taking that alongside my pregnacare conception. Suppose the upside is it’s still fun getting to try if you know what I mean 😉 xx

[Blossom428]

Sorry to hear AF turned up @TTCagainHOPEFUL

Another flashing again this morning @AnxiousAnnie86 feel it's getting close though, it's the first time I've ever had ewcm!

Although I feel I'm really struggling this month, I just keep getting so emotional and I can't switch my brain off from thinking about wanting a baby. I've tried to not put pressure on OH about having sex this week, but he just gets in bed and goes straight to sleep. We've ended up texting this morning and I've said how I feel about it all and how sad it's making me feel- he's not great at talking face to face and shut things down. But he's saying he feels scared.
Why are guys like this.
He knows he does want it, but he's just being an arse 😂🙈 arghhhhh. He did this with moving into our new house, he was scared to do it and leave his own house. Commitment issues is so annoying. We'll have been together 8 years next week, what more does he want to see that this is a forever thing 🙈🙈🙈

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Blossom428 when my husband and I had been trying for a few months he literally acted exactly the same, I was thinking about it all the time and he was just like "it's scary" it all changed when I got pregnant last year he was so so happy and heartbroken when we lost it.... I think men process things differently they don't really have much control over the situation or have the same hormones as us... but I'm sure the second you tell him you are pregnant he will be so happy! Try not to let it stress you out or get you down. We've got enough to stress about!!! Xxx

[Blossom428]

Reassuring to hear you've gone through the same @AnxiousAnnie86 . It's just stressful and I feel ovulation is the worst for me as I know it's coming, and I just get so anxious because usually we only have sex once a week or soemthing because Oh is so tired- 8years into a relationship for you.
But I just want to try get some romance back- this evening ive cooked a nice tea and cleaned everywhere trying to make the place feel nice, and now he's gone for a pint after work 😫 even after messaging him about how I've been feeling. Guys just are not sensitive at all! Maybe it will release a bit of steam for him though and relax him for later 😈 haha!!

How are you feeling? Have you joined a group on a pregnancy board where you can get some support?

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Blossom428 I remember in the beginning after telling my husband how important timing was etc, and on the day I got my first peak he worked till midnight! I kept thinking he is avoiding this!! But I think our minds just go intro overdrive snd to them there is no urgency, and it'll happen when it happens, that was my Dhs favourite line.

Yeah there's a couple but it feels kinda weird! You guys know my journey etc don't feel like chatting to people really. I'm so worried all the time x

[Blossom428]

Yeah I really think that.. and I think my OH is over thinking the finances side of things too. I just tell him you make it work no matter what. We are both on good wages and I work for the council so would get half pay anyways.

I got my static smile this morning, after a bit of an argument last night, it ended in make up sex this morning at least haha. Now just got to try for tomorrow morning too 🤞🏽

@AnxiousAnnie86 yes I guess it's still early days isn't it, but I've defo got a good feeling about this time 😆😊 Have you any new symptoms or still boob pain? Have you booked an early scan?

[Blossom428]

Also when's your birthday? @AnxiousAnnie86 tomorrow?
If so happy birthday for tomorrow!! Such a lovely present for you and hubby 😆

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Blossom428 aww yeah it is! Thank you!! We are going out for dinner tonight. Have you got static yet!!

[Blossom428]

Aww enjoy!!! (Sadly without a glass of wine haha) mocktails are now the way forward!
Yes! I got my static this morning. Dtd this morning too. So I'm hoping I can get OH to tomorrow morning too then I know I will be covered 🤞🏽
@AnxiousAnnie86

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Blossom428 powers of seduction!!!! I know just gonna have to watch my husband drink red and eat steak 😂 glad you got your static! It's such a stressful time worrying about catching it and when it's gonna come! I absolutely HATE it x

[Blossom428]

Haha @AnxiousAnnie86
Managed to dtd this morning.
I felt ovulation pains last night, they always come late in the evening. So would I go from tomorrow as ovulation day or today as it was at like 11pm?
Guess I've done all I can now. Glad I can just chill out now and not have the stress of ovulation! Defo worse than the 2WW for me!

[Chlo2701]

Happy Birthday @AnxiousAnnie86 !!! Hope OH is treating you like a queen today 👸. How special this birthday is for you! 🤰
@Blossom428 you definitely covered it my lovely, here's to your TWW🤞🏻
I thought I didn't ovulate as didn't have usual pattern on RHR when I got static last Saturday on CBD. But looks like I ovulated 48hrs later on Monday🙈 we only DTD Fri night & Mon night so not holding out much hope at all. 6DPO here so cheers to the TWW @Blossom428 🥂

[Blossom428]

HAPPPYY BIRTHDAY @AnxiousAnnie86 🎈🎈🎈🎈 hope you have a fabulous day!!

Cheers @Chlo2701 ! At least you are nearly into the 2nd half of it. You never know you it still could have happened for you this month 🤞🏽 good to take a much more relaxed approach. Defo what you needed this month.

Weekends go far too quickly these days!!

How's everyone feeling about a months lockdown 😭😭 I hope it doesn't affect anyone too badly. Just sad about the build up to Christmas! It's my fave time of year with family and friends and I just think it's going to be so different this year 😫

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Blossom428 @Chlo2701 thank you ladies! Had a lovely day walking and just picked up my favourite Nando's!!!!

So you are both in the TWW!!! How exciting, I will say with Rhr there was no pattern to it at all, my average heartbeat is most definitely higher, but some days it drops and some days it goes back up.... so if you are monitoring rhr don't stress if you see it dropping

Not sure too much how it will effect me yet, my employers seem to want me to go into office no matter what and I think they are still going to say that, even though I work from home.. are they even allowed to do that?? Xx

[Blossom428]

Glad you've had a nice day. Can't beat a Nando's!
That's interesting to hear about your RHR now you are pregnant, and not really finding a correlation. Mine was always all over the place, but I've stopped wearing my fit bit now so don't track that.
Oh really, my partners is a bit like that. He can work from and should really but then they are frowned upon if they don't come in to the office. Bit bad really. Things may change from Thursday anyways. - although when Oh worked at home it was such a distraction haha.
I work for the council, so majority are wfh anyways unless I'm doing visits, which I've had to be door step visits atm. Difficult as I my role is so out in the community, but it has been so nice to see how the community have come together to support each other!

[Redfoot89]

Hi all! Been trying to keep up and catch up with all the latest 🤣
@AnxiousAnnie86 congratulations on your bfp! I hope you had a wonderful birthday 🎂.
@Blossom428 same with my husband, when we first talked about ttc he was over thinking the financial side of things etc and a bit wary but now he has totally changed his tune and is actually talking about it more than me which is nice because he actually seems excited about the idea although we are both a bit scared at the same time!
My fertile week has now ended so all i can do is wait now! Ive been having all sorts of symptoms since like thursday but im pretty sure its just all in my head 🤣👍 i hate the waiting, i just want to know now either way!! Going to be the longest wait ever, period not due until next wed/thurs 🙃.

[Blossom428]

Wasn't going to temp, but did accidentally take it this morning jsut to see if it had risen after ov. And it hadn't gone up this morning.
I'm hoping it does tomorrow- otherwise my stress may have caused it not to happen this month.
Although I did get my usual pains, so fingers crossed it did.

@Redfoot89 welcome to the 2WW. I much prefer it to the build up to FW haha! Let's hope we get some more BFP this cycle!!

AF will due around 13th Nov for me

[Redfoot89]

@Blossom428 honestly i hated the fw wait and i dont like this either hahahaha. Im so impatient i honestly just want to know. Mines should be the 12th or there abouts as my cycles tend to vary by a day or two each month 🤷‍♀️

Fingers crossed for lots of bfps for everyone!!! X

[Chlo2701]

@Blossom428 Christmas is my favourite time of the year aswel! I'm really hoping that restrictions will be lifted abit by then so we can spend time with family, because like you said, it will be a very different Christmas this year😣
Yep @AnxiousAnnie86 I'm still tracking my RHR🙉 my best friend found out she was pregnant last week & she was tracking her RHR, she's 5w3d's today & her RHR is so up & down, so that coincides with what you're saying aswel.
@Redfoot89 woop woop for joining us in the TWW!! I'm due on this week weds-fri, I ovulated a day later this cycle so I reckon AF will actually come on Thurs as my LP is normally 10 days.
@Blossom428 🤞🏻 you get that rise tomorrow so you can confirm ovulation 👏🏼🙌🏼

[AnxiousAnnie86]

@Redfoot89 welcome lovely and thank you!!

@Chlo2701 honestly don't worry yourself over rhr, there is no pattern to mine! The only thing I did notice was it was generally higher then before, not even my rhr really but just my general one,

@Blossom428 have you temped this morning? Hopefully it's risen, mine sometimes takes a couple days to rise.

We got Marty yesterday! 8 hour round trip 😩😩 he's so tiny and cute x
