Thread 2!
Will try to tag everyone who was active recently in the old thread, but sorry if I missed anyone. And if you're one of the many who got BFPs in the old thread and you're currently wading through the dark depths of morning sickness, feel free to ignore us 😊

BFN this morning but BFcold still going strong. Nobody else has it but I'm a doctor so might have got it from a patient/staff at hospital (despite all the PPE). So DH and DD might be in for it soon.

Have everything crossed for tomorrow morning 9dpo.

@LAgeDeRaisin haha BFcold 😆 Hope it's away soon anyway. Don't think a BFN at 8-10dpo means much really, so am sure you're still in x

True! But it's always a disappointment even if it's ridiculous to test so early!

Just had a fuck this moment and peed on another stick:

@LAgeDeRaisin that's a fab line! Congratulations! 😍 Are you def only 8dpo?

My cycles are always dead regular at 30 days. I got a negative white big fat nothing this morning on an IC.

Oooohhhh I don't know what to do now. Do I tell DH? My parents are staying though- maybe I shouldn't say anything? (they look after DD as we took her out of childcare to reduce the covid risk) (DH works full time and my doctoring shifts are really varied so we need some sort of childcare but were worried about nursery exposure while the cases are so high) (sorry for all the brackets I'm just always worried people will judge about household mixing- but it's literally only them we bubble with and seemed the lesser of 2 evils- exposure to 1 household rather than to 12)

Thank goodness for Mumsnet. What do I do?

@LAgeDeRaisin well it is very early days, so I guess tell anyone who you would tell anyway even if it ends in mc? So definitely DH! Parents - depends how close you are and whether you and DH want some time just the two of you knowing first?
Don't mean to sound so depressing! Chances are it's a sticky one 😊

When did you tell everyone with DD?

Pretty much straight away I told DH - then text my mum a pic of the test the next day.

I have compromised! I've put the test in an envelope with his name at the front door. He can open and decide what to do!! Hoping he doesn't open it in front of everyone!

Awesome stuff @LAgeDeRaisin! Congrats 🎉

Everyone is having champagne but me

@LAgeDeRaisin congrats!!! That’s a lovely early line ☺️☺️☺️ Fingers crossed for you for a sticky one!!! What did you DH decide to do, did you tell your parents?
(Oh also, No judgement here my in laws do our childcare!!! Similar situation to you and I always feel like people will judge seeing them arrive at our house but it’s allowed )

@EllyNC he opened the card and grabbed me and we went through to the back of the house to squeal a bit then decided to tell my parents since they were there so we could be excited together

@LAgeDeRaisin congratulations!! And a positive at 8dpo amazing! Your line is strong

Think it might be a little darker this morning! Trying not to get excited as AF not due til Friday so it's really early, but still really excited! Really hope it sticks!

Are you sureeeeeee you’re only 9dpo!! Such a good line! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 For you xxx

Congratulations!! What a strong line for so early on 👏
Sorry I missed it Friday, had my DD's birthday.

I got my smiley face this morning 🙂 cd16 again. Definitely makes me think something wasn't right last month to start af so early. But time to play haha
How you doing @unCliche? Just us now xx

@Pudding01 you'll be joining me in the TWW very soon then! It would have been nice if we could test together but I'm nearing the end of my cycle - 8DPO today. Solidarity 💪 we've got this!! I've had a bit of cramping over the last few days but I get that some cycles so it probably means nothing 😔

Happy belated birthday to your DD! 🎉🎉 How was her bday? What did you do for her??

@unCliche negative opk today and lots of pain in my right side yesterday afternoon, so think I am 1dpo today. Aw you're so close to finding out. I find the second week thr hardest as I look out for more signs! Come on ovens, cook us a baby! 😂

Thank you. Just a little house party with my partner and the pooch. I dressed up as elsa for her and was all a frozen theme. Here's the cake 😍 she seemed to love it all and had a big dolls house to play with. She's 4 but in aged 5-6 clothes, crazy! Doesn't get it from me, I'm only 5'2" haha x

@Pudding01 Welcome to the TWW!! May the next two weeks fly by!
I am jealous of that cake!! You should have seen what I got for my 28th (well I made it myself and it was pretty rubbish.) She must have had a wonderful time, especially with her mum transforming into a princess! Lucky kid! Do you think she'll be taller than you??

This has been the worst and the longest TWW ever. I just want it to be over but AF is due in about 3 days and my temps aren't giving anything away!

@Pudding01 that’s amazing!! Did you make it? Bet she had such a lush time!!
@unCliche when are you gonna test? 🤞🏻 For you both!!!

Thanks @EllyNC! I think I'll test over the weekend if AF doesn't show up.

@unCliche you are SO restrained!! 🤣🤣

Haha nope @EllyNC! Not when I'm expecting a BFN. I don't know what my temps are doing but my CM is currently watery, which means estrogen surge and my impending AF. Tomorrow's fall in temp should confirm it. So no point wasting tests 😆

@unCliche I think that chart looks nice and stable! Don't your temps normally keep rising during your LP, rather than being steady? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but anything different to usual might be a good thing! Do you have that feature on FF that lets you overlay previous charts?
