In early stages of trying but would love advice, tips and general chat. This is an open chat and can't wait to chat to you all

@Bouncytree I’m not too down about it right now as I think I was being a bit optimistic expecting a BFP this early with that particular test. My temp was still high this morning so at least I know AF is not on her way just yet.
I’m going to definitely hold off now until 14DPO which is Wednesday.

@SweetShopSurprise welcome to the thread 😊 sounds as though you’ve got a good plan there, fingers crossed it doesn’t take you long to get your BFP!
I’ve been symptom spotting since about 3dpo 🙈🙈 WW just love to make things harder for ourselves don’t we! 😂

apwilso · 30/10/2020 15:17

@SweetShopSurprise welcome! Tier 1 feel as if that's not heard of. Yeah hopefully you get your positive!!! I'm so bad for symptom checking!!!

MrsLauraM · 31/10/2020 08:42

I’m 10dpo today @apwilso

Tabbycat92 · 31/10/2020 09:12

@apwilso 11dpo today, bfn yesterday 😣

apwilso · 31/10/2020 09:22

@MrsLauraM how you feeling? 💕

@Tabbycat92 oh sorry to hear! But when you due on?x

OP posts:
MrsLauraM · 31/10/2020 09:28

@apwilso still really tired all of the time. Nipples are still sore and I’m sure they normally ease by now of I remember rightly 🤔 crying at the drop of a hat. These could all just be PMS though so trying not to get my hopes up.
How are you feeling?

Tabbycat92 · 31/10/2020 09:28

@apwilso due on Tuesday.

apwilso · 31/10/2020 09:40

@Tabbycat92 fingers crossed for you!

@MrsLauraM well annoying that every symptom could be PMS as well! I'm good, I'm currently on 5Dpo TMI but got cramps and constipated (which isn't like me😂) feel slightly nausea this morning. Other than that I'm fine! Boyfriend said my moods have been everywhere though!🥺😳

Hi ive been off my pill for a week on Tuesday so still very early days. Waiting patiently for my period (and withdrawal bleed) to return so I can start tracking, TTC for baby no. 1. Put a post up myself recently about TTC and received a lot of hate and judgement which really upset me but its not made me decide not to go ahead with TTC.

MrsLauraM · 31/10/2020 10:05

@apwilso oh god yes! I forgot about that! Also TMI but I’m normally very regular, same time every day and I’ve really struggled to go the last few days. And my husband has also commented that he’s sick of coming home to me crying at something silly 😂😂😂 our poor men don’t know if they’re coming or going 😂😂

apwilso · 31/10/2020 11:06

@MrsLauraM jesus! Hahahaha! I'm exactly the same can tell you a time and that but nope it's been a struggle. My boyfriend had gone mad he's like your lovey dovey then your sad then your mad. Bless them. Going to have to treat him I reckon!

@Dex1521 That's awful!!! How can people can people be nasty about that! Don't let other people sway what you want. Only do what you want for you💕

AugustLove · 31/10/2020 14:55

@Tabbycat92 and @MrsLauraM hope you’re both ok - still early so definitely don’t loose hope!

I can’t help but wonder if I have a slight metallic taste in my mouth which I know can be a sign.... or I just need to brush my teeth again today 🤣 this is coming from someone who promised herself she wouldn’t symptom spot!!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far 💕

Waiting2BeaMama · 31/10/2020 16:53

Hi ladies, how are you all getting on? I’m now 1dpo and onto my first tww and hoping the time passes quickly 🙈

Bouncytree · 31/10/2020 17:10

@Dex1521 welcome! I’m so sorry you’ve been treated like that. It’s really not ok, even if we disagree with someone we need to be respectful. Are you doing ok?

@MrsLauraM And @Tabbycat92 hang on in there. I am due AF on Tuesday too, so we can do it together!

@apwilso sounding promising 🤞🤞🤞

@AugustLove lol I know the feeling. Tingly nipples, pregnant...or cold? 🤣 I was sane, ready to be calm and collected and now hyper symptom spotting.

@Waiting2BeaMama I know 🤦‍♀️ From the high of the OPK peak to the low of the TWW! Well you can amuse yourself by symptom spotting like us 😂

I had cramps last night at 6dpo. Trying not tI read to much into it. But also I am reading too much into it! 🤣. I don’t get cramps except for AF but I’m wary I might have residual hormones from MC. 3 more days till test or AF

Tabbycat92 · 31/10/2020 17:25

After the depressing feeling of the negative yesterday, I'm feeling a little more hopeful today.
I've had a stretching ache in my lower abdomen, and an achey lower back. Still hoping 🤞

Dex1521 · 31/10/2020 17:33

@Bouncytree thank you for being so kind it honestly made me so upset nearly in tears and I’m not even pregnant yet. I asked advice on one thing and got so much back lash about my age, my partners age (bigger age gap to most), people telling me to leave my partner, to wise up, that my partner prayed on a teenager (meaning me and no he didn’t). That I’m ruining my life and it’s cruel for me to bring a child into this world at 22 when they know morning about mine or my partners circumstances Hmm I mean some of them will probably see this comment and I’ll get even more backlash lol, my first day in this forum and there is a lot of internet trolls so just searching for the good and supporting people haha

Waiting2BeaMama · 31/10/2020 17:34

@Bouncytree haha definitely won’t be able to help myself! Don’t know how I’m going to get through the next 2 weeks lol 🙈

Bouncytree · 31/10/2020 22:23

@Dex1521 I’m so sorry that you have had comments that upset you. I posted in the thread. My mam and dad had big age gap. They were so in love and had 5 babies raised in a loving home. I think it’s a controversial topic, I even saw people fighting with each other on the thread! I’m sorry that was your experience when you reached out for support. I have largely only seen such super supportive comments on mumsnet so it really isn’t what occurs in the majority.

apwilso · 31/10/2020 23:44

@Dex1521 that's awful. As long as your both happy that's all that matters. Ignore trolls and do you! This thread we don't do judgement so welcome with open arms!

@Tabbycat92 promising for you! Love that the bad things may be a good thing. Bet you've never loved backache in all your life 😂

1992EM · 01/11/2020 00:05

@Dex1521 that is awful . Nobody's business what you do in your life. I honestly cannot believe how judgemental people can be of someone they have never even met. You are both adults and are clearly in love. Good luck ttc and I hope you get your BFP soon 💕

Dex1521 · 01/11/2020 06:51

@Bouncytree @apwilso @1992EM thank you for your support and welcoming me in here. Will definitely keep you posted on my ttc iourney and hopefully have a Bfp sooner rather than later. Xx

Good luck everyone too on their journeys x

Dex1521 · 01/11/2020 08:34

Just out of interest has anyone here been on the mini pill before TTC? I've just come off the mini pill (1 week on Tuesday) and waiting patiently for my withdrawal bleed and then my first proper period.

For anyone who has been on it and come off it how long did it take for your period to return? I know it’s different for everyone but I’ve read so many things on google that my heads fried, and I’m getting so obsessed by it, trying not too but I’m so impatient and like to have control over things like this so I know where I’m at whereas my DH is so chill about it

I would like to hear from other mums/mums-to-be on their experiences with the mini pill please x

Mummyshark2020 · 01/11/2020 09:47

Hey everyone, new here.
So were ttc at present and I ovulate back on the 13th/14th October, but now for the past weekish I've been getting ovulation tests with a faint 2nd line and also bfn. What's that about?

Bouncytree · 01/11/2020 10:09

@Dex1521 I Havnt been on the mini pull but hopefully someone has.

@Tabbycat92 yay there is always hope till AF.

@Mummyshark2020 welcome! When are you due on?

@SweetShopSurprise Yes a FRER only tells u something if positive. It’s very Snnoying when you’ve been abstinent and then AF arrives.

I’m still having cramps, but I remember I had they fir days before AF last month as well due to the MC so thinking that’s the likely explanation. But I’d rather be realistic, I’ve had to many highs and lows in this process, so glad I remembered Feels just like AF and I just want to take ibuprofen and snuggle my hot water bottle! I also realised I’m due wed not Tuesday 🤦‍♀️
