Hey everyone!

I'm either 3 or 4 dpo and looking to chat to others for the hpt countdown nightmare.

I feel like I've bought a lottery ticket. Excited, hopeful, but ready for a great big nope too 😀

@Mokoblack fingers crossed for you! I've got a Frer also but won't test until my period is late (that's the plan anyway) 🤞🏻

Hollybeex · 23/11/2020 12:27

@WicketBasket I'm so sorry to hear that! Wishing you all the best of luck with your next cycle 💕

Hollybeex · 23/11/2020 12:29

Hi @rttcbabyno1 I've been having such odd dreams too! I think it was the night before last I dreamt I got my BFP, woke up and literally ran to the bathroom to test but negative! 😬 my dreams have been so vivid though it's crazy! I'm 11DPO today

mineandyours · 23/11/2020 12:30

@Ginini I didn't test till day AF was due but that's partly due to being too busy with my 5.5 month old DD1 at the time! I tested on cheapie Tesco test and it came up positive in like 3 seconds! But I remember getting thick CM about 3 or 4 days prior to day AF was due!

Hollybeex · 23/11/2020 12:31

@Ginini I've had exactly the same thing! I've been checking my CP like a mad woman and checking for any other CM 🙈 I need to be stopped I'm obsessed! 11dpo for me and I've had EWCM on and off for a couple days now

WicketBasket · 23/11/2020 12:32

Thanks @Hollybeex! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you, let me know how you get on? Xx

Seasalt1984 · 23/11/2020 12:36

@wicketbasket oh boo, that's always a bit of a downer but it just means you're another cycle closer to your BFP! Keeping everything crossed for you next time 🤞 x

Mokoblack · 23/11/2020 12:41

@WicketBasket boo to AF showing up, enjoy a glass of something nice tonight x

Ginini · 23/11/2020 12:45

@WicketBasket sorry AF came! Lots of self love and chocolate!

WicketBasket · 23/11/2020 12:52

Thanks @Seasalt1984 @Mokoblack and @Ginini
Your support means so much! Getting AF has made me feel oddly lonely, the thought of having to start alll over again! Ah well!
Sending you all lots of love 💕 xxx

Ginini · 23/11/2020 12:54

@mineandyours thanks I'll wait a couple of days then test again as I've only had it today, I must have ovulated a lot later than I thought this month!

Hollybeex · 23/11/2020 13:05

Thank you so much @WicketBasket I definitely will! Xx

rttcbabyno1 · 23/11/2020 13:35

@WicketBasket sorry about AF, it really is disheartening, there is no denying it. It sucks but you just have to think about the next cycle now. I feel like I'm saying this to future me with AF around the corner ☹️ hope your okay x

@Hollybeex, @mineandyours it's wierd isn't it, I'm just struggling with whether it's just a dream phase (i think everyone has them, right?) or if it is pregnancy related. Definitely not the norm for me. I was literally thinking last night I wonder what sort of fd up dream I have tonight lol! We will both see on Thursday/Friday I guess 😊 I'm hoping it's not just a coincidence! It's great to know you got them with your babies @mineandyours* xx

WicketBasket · 23/11/2020 13:50

@rttcbabyno1 Thank you hun for your good wishes! I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed that you’re not in my situation and you get to see a BFP very soon! Flowers xxx

WicketBasket · 23/11/2020 13:58

In other news, have just found out by chance that my SIL is pregnant, having just started trying in August after her wedding.
My MIL, SIL, sister and mum all know and had decided not to tell me because they didn’t want me to ‘feel worse than I already do’

I am weirdly angry that they’ve kept it from me and upset that they think I should be feeling bad as it hasn’t happened for me yet and that this news can only make me feel worse. I don’t know why this has upset me so much, the fact that they’ve hidden it. I’m in tears. Am I being silly? I have no idea why I’m so upset
Sorry for the weird rant everyone xxx

Hollybeex · 23/11/2020 14:09

@WicketBasket oh no, I can only imagine how you are feeling at the moment I'm so sorry! I do think that your family are just trying to protect your feelings. It sounds like they love you and care about you and don't want to see you upset. I wouldn't think too much into it but maybe have a word with them and just say that you don't want things to be hidden from you in the future and that you can handle it.

You are most definitely not being silly! TTC is so emotionally overwhelming and full of ups and downs your feelings are so valid! 💕

How long have you been trying now? X

WicketBasket · 23/11/2020 14:12

@Hollybeex Thank you so much for your words of support! I think it’s been too much for me to take in, what with AF showing up and then finding out this news by accident, knowing it was never meant for my ears. I felt alone all of a sudden.

I’ve been TTC for 14 months now and it’s taking a massive toll. Every month, when AF arrives, I have a little breakdown I think but manage to pick myself up soon after so I’m sure this will pass Grin

Thank you so much for the hand hold. I’m really feeling like I need it this time round xxx

Seasalt1984 · 23/11/2020 14:14

@wicketbasket Oh bless you. That sounds really tough. I'm sure it came from a really a really good place, even if they haven't gone about it in the most helpful way. Could you talk to your mum or sister and share that you're feeling quite hurt? Let the dust settle for a bit and do something really nice for yourself, things often seem much worse immediately after they happen. Sending love xxx

Seasalt1984 · 23/11/2020 14:23

Oops reply typed before I saw @hollybeex's beautifully worded reply! I completely agree Smile

WicketBasket · 23/11/2020 14:24

Thank you @Seasalt1984. You’re right, it’s probably come from a good place but I feel weirdly hurt by it. But you’re right, I will have a talk with them but like you said, when I’m feeling less emotional about it all.
Thank you for the love, sending you lots right back 💕💕xxx

Ginini · 23/11/2020 15:19

@Hollybeex ahh how are you feeling? I've got a really heavy feeling today too, feeling pretty tired too!
I'm the sam and I can't stop googling, turns us into mad women doesnt it! 😂
Have you tested?

Ginini · 23/11/2020 15:20

@WicketBasket completely understand why you feel the way you do!
Take a few days to yourself!
Sending lots of hugs 🤗

Er1608 · 23/11/2020 15:21

@Ginini haha I'm in the same boat! How many dpo are you?

Ginini · 23/11/2020 15:42

@Er1608 how are you getting on?
I'm between 11-15 think so irregular?, think it may be more like 11

Er1608 · 23/11/2020 16:08

@Ginini this is first month ttc and it feels like time is going slow just waiting to find out if we have/haven't got pregnant! According to flow I'm about 4 dpo.. have you had any symptoms yet?
