Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@kaylsd ooo what are you simmering? Happy Ash Wednesday! What are you doing for lent?

I’m not going to buy a test until Sunday if AF doesn’t show! Otherwise if I have them in the house I will use them all in the same day 😂

I think I prefer the first response tests over cb. What cheapies do you buy? I’m always nervous to get cheapies just in case...?! Irrational I know.

Anymore symptoms for anyone? I still have the dull pain all day! Hopefully AF stays away Sunday!

CeeJay1987 · 17/02/2021 19:32

@SarahHouse do you still have mild cramps? Are the just in your abdomen or back also? I admire you waiting! I plan to test the first day AF is due if it doesn’t arrive before! Fingers crossed for us all! 🤞🏼

Said I'll try and reduce my sweet tooth.... I don't know how long it'll last but I'm gonna try my best 😂 terms of my internet cheapies I've got two brands the easy@home tests & the Femometer brand ones which came with the OPK strips :) I'm tempted to treat myself to a FR for Sunday, do you have anything planned over the next few days to keep busy and your mind preoccupied sweetie

SarahHouse · 17/02/2021 20:10

@CeeJay1987 yeah still some mild cramp! It feels so similar to my AF...this probably sounds weird but i cant quite pinpoint if it feels lower..i did have some lower back pain earlier too! But im putting that down to some yoga i did the day before...im worried im just watching these symptoms too closely 🤣 but maybe now im just passing them off! I have some tests so im hoping to hold out but i might cave tomorrow as thats 12dpo. How are you feeling? Sending all the wishes your way!

CycloGoose · 17/02/2021 21:20

Ooooh it's getting so exciting for you all. So hard not to symptom spot. Everything crossed for you all!!

SarahHouse · 18/02/2021 07:39

Sorry @kaylsd i missed your message yesterday! I will be 14 dpo on saturday so not long to go 🤞 i again..worry im symptom spotting but i have an incredibly dry mouth this morning 😬

Its good you feel calm! Although cant imagine what it was like organising a wedding over the last year.

CeeJay1987 · 18/02/2021 11:00

@SarahHouse I’m not feeling to bad. How about you? The tww seems to last forever! Lol I woke up with stronger aches and I’m convinced AF is on the way. But as I type it seems to have eased off. Have no idea, but not getting my hopes up too much. Just trying to stay relaxed.

I’m trying to stay busy with work and dog walks! What about you? xx

CeeJay1987 · 18/02/2021 11:02

@kaylsd just working and dog walks lol. What about you?

I’m going to invest in some cheapies from Sunday! Although I’m convinced AF is on its way 🙄 but just have to wait and see xx

SarahHouse · 18/02/2021 11:28

@CeeJay1987 i know it drags so much, especially those that few days. Fingers crossed for you!!

I think AF is here today, i have a small bit when i go the loo now and it looks just like normal. Horrible how it plays tricks with you isnt it!

Same for me, working from home and trying to get outside as much as i can to get some sunshine 🌞

Iloveoreos · 18/02/2021 11:29

Hey ladies. Still bfn :( caved in and tested yesterday on 12dpo .

Snap! What pooch do you have? I have a nearly 2 year old miniature labradoodle called Mable, I'll attach a pick of her and me on our big day, she was my fourth bridesmaid walking down the isle with my ladies!

Sending lots of luck over the weekends events and hoping for BFPS for all 🙌🏻❤️

Oh it deffo was eventful, we had 4 different wedding dates in the end and on the date we actually got married we planned a mini wedding in 2 days because we wanted to beat lock down number 3 coming in! It's deffo one to share for the memories in the future to tell people how we managed to rush around like headless chickens and ringing everyone to get a random Tuesday off work but we had a beautiful day never the less and ended up in McDonald's at the night all dressed up 😂😂😂🙄 hoping for our Receiption this year but never know how the year is going to pan out! I won't be wearing my dress again though incase it brings bad luck :') xxx

You never know sweet you might have just tested early they do say 14dpo is average for people to get BFP 🤞🏻❤️
CycloGoose · 18/02/2021 13:35

Ohhhh I love her! Hello Mable! You all look gorgeous. So glad you managed to squeeze it in before the lockdown. Stunning.
One of our family dogs is due puppies today. Very exciting. She's huge so hoping for lots of gorgeous puppies.
Hope you get to have an amazing reception! We were so lucky and got married Summer 19 before it all kicked off. I was really ill in hospital with pneumonia in the October - I swear I was patient X 😂😂😂 We've hardly done anything since then.
Is it bad luck to wear your dress again? I hadn't heard that one! You may be 9 months pregnant at the time anyway 😂
So much luck and baby dust for all of you over the weekend xxx

CeeJay1987 · 18/02/2021 15:55

@kaylsd oh wow you look absolutely stunning! Glad you managed to get your wedding ceremony in! Our ceremony is planned for 29th May this year and a blessing and reception so everyone can come in June 2022! Fingers crossed!

Mable is gorgeous! We have a shepherd x retriever and he is a little pickle. His name is Koby and he likes to pester mum when she’s trying to work from home....

CeeJay1987 · 18/02/2021 15:58

@Iloveoreos it’s ok... try in a few days! There can be a lot of false negatives before the day of your missed AF! I have my fingers crossed for you! I was tempted to get a test today, but I’m managed to talk myself out of it! Lol xx

CeeJay1987 · 18/02/2021 16:02

@SarahHouse yes our bodies are wonderful at playing tricks! Lol at least you can start again sooner! And it’s good we can keep each other company on here, on this journey xx

lucea87 · 18/02/2021 16:07

Pretty sure I'm out this month girls, brown spotting today, bugger. Do I could today as CD1 or wait for a flow? Now I don't know when to start testing! Will start tempting tomorrow and recording everything on Femometer, and be guided by that I guess....I've got femometer OPKs and also clearblue.

I read somewhere that you should only start counting from the point of red flow as day 1. X
Iloveoreos · 18/02/2021 16:21

@ceejay1987 sunday is af day ..so lets see
Not testing is relief. That heart sink i get everytime i see a single line is so not good

lucea87 · 18/02/2021 18:11

@Slinks8113 thank you, probably tomorrow then! Xx

Omg you could have been patient x you know have you had any antibodies testing to see if you've been exposed to the virus before because if so you might have been back in those days :o? I'm so glad you got your happy day too sweet, knowing my bloody luck I'll either be pregnant heavily by time of it where I can't even get a armpit in it! Hahahah, it was a beautiful day though even though it was abit of the unusual day we first planned but I got my hubby finally at the end of it! Thank you for your kind comments about my little duo, absolutely love my mabes, she's gonna be such a jel dog when there's babies involved I think 🙈xxx

Omg Koby is absolutely beautiful look at that cheeky face he's giving you like mummy can you pls give me attention pls pls haha, I think if it wasn't for our Mable our lockdown experience would have been far worse because only time we would have been going out is to put bins out on a Thursday 😂🙈 thank you for your well wishes on my photo hehe means the world, it was a beautiful day under the circumstances I don't even think I would change it for the world ❤️

10DPO today and I just know I'm not pregnant so I'm not testing and waiting for AF so I can start over. Never been this chilled before! Happy Friday everyone!

Snap here cycle twin! I litterally have no symptoms other than needing to wee more but I think it might be UTI linked as I'm so run down from work and don't drink enough at work 😂🙈 my boobs normally start to hurt from at least 7dpo until period but nadaaa, nothing going on with them either!

I'm actually doing so well with not testing, normally I'm like I'm at least 3 negatives deep! I'm actually ended tempted to wait until a couple of days after AF if it is late as each BFN gets harder after each cycle passes :') keeping myself busy this weekend watching that Cecil hotel on documentary 🧐 how do you plan on keeping busy?
