[BubsNumber2inTheMaking]

Here we go again girls! 💕 Wishing you all so much baby dust for this cycle! 👶🏼
CD4 for me today, cycle #60000000 at least. 🤦🏼‍♀️ TTC bubs #2 since Jan 2020.
2 miscarriages, umpteen national lockdowns, at least a stone heavier 🙄 Let's do this 💪❤️

@organised5
Have you had any cramps ? Iv had them on and off for a week , 1 day late today xx

@organised5 fab! yep you prob ovulated later so implanted later and that’s why it took so long to get a BFP💕 you must be in utter shock 😂 xx

Congratulations @organised5 so exciting!

@organised5 You’ve given me some hope! I tested yesterday (when AF was due) on a CB digital and got a BFN. I’ve had light spotting on and off since last Wednesday though. AF still hasn’t arrived and I’m literally never late, only early/on time.

How old are you? Is this your first? Such lovely news to have on the thread 🥰xx

Woooohooo @organised5 !!! Massive congrats to you!! 😘xxx

@organised5 lovely news !!! Very happy for you !! X

@MgW1 no cramps at all. Do you think you'll test again?

@sunshineandshowers3 that is strange! Have you got different brands you could test with? I'm 33 and it's my second - my DS is 2 in a couple of weeks 😊

@Clapham4 HUGE shock. I had ruled myself out and spent 48 hours getting over the disappointment. I think I literally shouted WTF at the test.

@bubblegeek22 @PeanuttyButter @Litttlebird thank you xxx

@organised5 congrats! Brilliant news!

I'm in the tww, at 5 or 6dpo. We bd when I just got a +ive opk, and my app said I'm due to ovulate the next day, but the day I was due to ovulate I had another +ive opk, and the day after that I had ovulation pains so I think I O'd a day later than predicted. We couldn't bd on those days because of stuff going on. So we bd 2 days before O, going off the pains I had.

Do you think the pains I had occurred the day after O and the app is right? Or do you think the pains was just when O was happening? It was a sharp pulling sensation on my right side.

Do you think I'm still in with a decent chance with just bd 2 days before O? I'm trying to feel optimistic but at the same time not getting my hopes up.

@organised5
Done a FRER and neg so think thats pretty conclusive now , nothing worse than late AF and a BFN!!!! Xx

Congratulations @organised5

Congrats @organised5 xx

Hi ladies hope you are all good? AF was due yesterday for me. I did a FRER this morning and nothing. I usually get pre AF spotting but so far nout. I am either 12dpo/11dpo according to my apps (they are both conflicting about my O day thanks to BBT which is super confusing even though I timed BD to my LH test results). So yeah feeling crappy this morning I seriously thought I would see something on the test. My good friend had a baby yesterday so im a bag of mixed emotions this week. Dont know what to do really anymore xx

Hope you ladies @BubsNumber2inTheMaking, @MgW1, @Dogmum13 and @sunshineandshowers3 are all good xx

@gracie2307
I am going through a strange time too. Day 2 of being late. BFN yesterday , not testing again. My Af usually shows up full force when i get up on the day I am due on, i dont tend to get spotting xx

@gracie2307 and @MgW1 Gosh we’re all going through the mill this month with strange cycles. Hope we get some (positive) answers soon ❤️.

I was due AF yesterday, but have had very light pink spotting on and off since last Wednesday. It has barely shown on my pants though, only when I wipe. I have a full on cold too, blocked nose and achey (not Covid as I have to test due to work).

What is going on?!? 🙈

Hi @gracie2307 how are you doing? I'm having a bit of a down day today. I think it's probs just hormonal changes (I'm only 4/5dpo so too early for symptom spotting or AF), but I feel like I do usually just before AF arrives - jittery, anxious, heavy/low feeling. I don't know what's come over me but I've just lost all my hope and drive this morning! Probably just tired. I've got next week booked as 'holiday' so it'll be a nice break from work before the 'new' role starts. Plus I'll know by middle of the week if pregs or not so can enjoy some wine if I'm not. Really looking forward to the end of this current lockdown too! I realised I haven't seen any of my work colleagues or friends in the flesh for almost a YEAR! Blows my mind 🤯
How many DPO are you at the mo?

@sunshineandshowers3 mercury is in retrograde and that's supposed to bugger up communication so I'd blame that! 😉 Really hoping you all get surprise BFPs!xx

Hey @MgW1 and @sunshineandshowers3 I'm glad im not the only one in the same boat but it just makes things super hard to track. Im CD31 today im edging towards this being one of my later cycle limits. I find it so hard to try and keep optimistic when I try to do everything right and it still doesn't work. Very frustrating. Hopefully we get answers soon. The spotting sounds promising @sunshineandshowers, do you normally get spotting? @MgW1 have you got any other symptoms? Im normally have super bad cramps in lead up to AF but i had them for like a few days early on after ovulation but now nothing! Xx

@gracie2307 AF has literally just arrived 😔, so not really sure why I was spotting on and off since Wednesday (I never spot at all so very unlike me).

Hope AF doesn’t rear her ugly head for the rest of you 🤞❤️Xxx

Awh guys I think we’re all low today, perhaps the weather?? Sorry to hear of the BFN’s and potential looming periods!
I do think if we weren’t in lockdown TTC would be a bit easier, as we’d have distractions and plans to look forward to!
Im only 6dpo/7dpo (Flo changed my ov date to earlier) and feel out because I feel fine, I keep rubbing my boobs to see if they hurt 😅

@gracie2307
Cranps for about 10 days! Sore boobs for about 2 weeks 🤣
@Clapham4 yes fed up here too!! Xx

I'm so sorry @sunshineandshowers3 that really sucks... Take extra care of yourself in light of AF, its always horrible when she arrives. Sending big hugs xx

@sunshineandshowers3 so sorry AF has reared her ugly head 😞 I had spotting for 3 days before AF arrived last month which isn't 'normal' for me so I totally get how confusing that is. Sending lots of baby dust for March 😘xx

Hey @BubsNumber2inTheMaking I'm so sorry you are having a down day too! I think the whole situation sucks and it makes everything about TTC more magnified so when the lows do come about it makes it harder to focus on anything else. Thats nice you have some time off next week what do you have planned? Im cd31, 12dpo I never seem to make it past 12dpo as AF usually arrives but nothing as of yet. Xx

@gracie2307 Thank you 😊 trying to remain upbeat and positive, as what’s the point in being anything else? As a control freak I feel I need to make peace with the fact I physically cannot control what is going on in my body (as much as I wish I could!).

A question for everyone, has anyone’s partner had a SA? My partner was due to go for one before lockdown and now the clinic say they aren’t doing them, but I’ve seen on some forums that some people’s partners have been for one recently. My bloods came back fine, I just wish my DP could go for his test as it’s playing on both our minds xxx

Its so hard isn't it @sunshineandshowers3 Some days I am the biggest TTC cheerleader, other days I am my own worst enemy. Hope your day isn't too bad despite AF?

We havent had an official SA but we did do the Swimtest online kit which was okay but not as comprehensive as NHS test. My friends partner is going for one in a few weeks time so I guess it depends on the hospital? I know there are big waiting lists xx
