Congrats to those with BFPs on the last thread there was a lot of you 🥳

I may have eaten my body weight in chocolate over the last few days @Marvellouslymadmum! Roll on a healthier day tomorrow 😀 x

Morning everyone! TWW still dragging over here! I'm about 12dpo now with AF due at the weekend so just going to wait and see if she arrives!

How is everyone else getting on?

🤞for you @ELMcg, you have great restraint waiting🤗. Only CD4 for me, first AF after mc , not using opks or anything so will see how it goes.

Morning everyone!
@ELMcg you have done so well getting this far! Not long now! Fingers crossed 🤞 I really hope its good news for you!
So I caved and tested a couple of days ago (at about 10 or 11dpo) and it was a BFP! But I've been quiet because I just dont feel positive about it and have just felt worried and like it isnt real. The FRER from Monday to Tuesday got darker but then the one for today seems lighter than yesterday, its still a clear line but not as dark so now I just feel like something is going to go wrong.
I'm just going to see how it goes over the next few days and weekend 😊 will keep you updated.

Love the willpower @ELMcg 🙌🏼

Oooh @NatJ24 whispering a quiet congratulations to you. It's hard I know and you're probably doing the right thing. Hope you get through the next few days ok, when it's been me it's all I've thought about but try and take some happiness from it too 😊

Oh posted too quick.. 8dpo here. Feel sick, tired, excessive saliva, cramps which is the same as every month I've had a bfn too 😂 who'd be female

@bez91 thank you! I feel like now there's going to be more worry with a BFP than excitement. After the MC I think I feel like I'll just be waiting for something to go wrong. I'm going to try and stay relaxed and whatever happens will happen. I will keep you updated. The only positive is that I've done some of the cheap easy at home strip tests along with the FRERs and while todays FRER looked a bit lighter than yesterday's the strip one is super dark, much more dark than yesterday! It is a little bit of hope but time will tell.
Ah fingers crossed for your symptoms though @bez91 they seem good! I will keep everything crossed for you, you're in the 2nd week now too so not long to go!

@NatJ24 oh my word! I know you are nervous but still feel like I should say congrats!

That's super early to get a BFP too!

I'm not really being patient, my husband is categorically telling me no testing midweek 🤣. He takes time to process things and finds it too distracting from work so would prefer I wait til the weekend. It kind of works fine as either AF will arrive and save me a test or it will be late enough to show a BFP hopefully. Trying not to symptom spot, but nothing to spot to be honest!

@bez91 wow that's lots of symptoms too! Hopefully all good news!

No sore boobs or anything like that for me which was my only early pregnancy sign last time, they were in agony! So the lack of symptoms is making me think AF will appear at the weekend!
Trying to remain realistic as only month 2 of trying but a small part of me is really hoping!

@NatJ24 ooh 🤞🏻 for you lovely! Let's hope this is your sticky little bean ❤️

I'm currently back in limbo land - last month I had flashing smiley from cd6 and static smiley on cd13 this month I'm on cd10 and still nothing! So I'll guess at either late or no ovulation this month then 🙄

@NatJ24 congratulations! I know your worried and I think it's a real hard thing as moms of miscarriages that we get robbed of the excited feeling your supposed to have when you get a positive!

Try and stick to one brand of tests for testing as they're all so different so will show different readings!

I have everything crossed for you!

I'm currently on cd 21, 6 days post ov. First cycle since MMC.

I'm being good and not delving into the forums and symptom spotting but I've also started feeling very sick today and you can't help but jump to conclusions!

Thank you everyone 😊
I am trying to not worry too much and just see how the next few days/week goes.
Its nice knowing that others understand the worry.
I will keep you all updated.
Fingers crossed for you all, I'm hoping we get good news coming in this group 🙏 😊

@NatJ24 gentle congrats and 🤞🏻 for you!! How many cycles did it take you post MC? Xx

@NatJ24 @bez91 I caved 🤣

Just tested without even needing a wee at lunch as I walked the dog and was literally gagging at his poop 🤣

Here's the test after 1 min waiting a BFP!!! What do I do, I'll be in so much trouble with my husband for testing!

Seems like picture didn't upload but it's a very strong positive

than the one this morning. I do feel a bit of relief! It just shows that each test is different and you cant always go off the line darkness. I will stop testing now and just do a digital one on the weekend which will be after AF was due. The test this morning must have been a funny one maybe. Here's a pic of yesterday's, then this mornings one and then the new one!

@ELMcg aahhh I am so happy for you! This is amazing news!!!! Oh congratulations 🤗😁 this is so exciting!! You will just have to tell him you had signs haha

Oooo all of that last message didnt send. Not sure what happened there. Was meant to say -
I took another test after holding urine as i couldn't stop thinking about it, and its alot darker than the one this morning. I do feel a bit of relief! It just shows that each test is different and you cant always go off the line darkness. I will stop testing now and just do a digital one on the weekend which will be after AF was due. The test this morning must have been a funny one maybe. Here's a pic of yesterday's, then this mornings one and then the new one!

@justwant2beamum my MC was December, I had AF 5 weeks later and then this was my 2nd cycle after that

@NatJ24 yours look really healthy BFPs! Literally can't believe we got them together! 😊

So hard to not feel tense about it and I know I won't be OK until my 12 week scan is past. I found out at 12 weeks so very glad I just happen to have that week off work now!

@NatJ24 @ELMcg ahh, huge congratulations ladies!! Easier said than done, but try roll with the punches, what’s meant for you won’t pass you and you have every right to be excited!! ❤️
I did test this morning at 9dpo but BFN. I’d like to say it’s just a bit too early, but I have a short LP and AF is due in 2 days, so if it still hasn’t arrived by Saturday morning il do another test (getting all my usual AF symptoms though so will no doubt be negative this time round)x

[quote justwant2beamum]@NatJ24 gentle congrats and 🤞🏻 for you!! How many cycles did it take you post MC? Xx [/quote]
@justwant2beamum I am identical to @NatJ24, 5 and a half weeks after MC for my first period (it was a weird one) and then this would be my second proper cycle? Xx

@ELMcg I'm so happy with that last one after that hazy one this morning. I think I will still worry naturally but that's definitely calmed me a bit. That middle one looks darker on the picture but when it was just them 2 earlier ones next to each other it just looked lighter and worried me.
I cant believe we have both got BFPs together our journeys are so alike!
I am so happy for you. I will be like you, nervous until atleast the 12 weeks!

Congrats @ELMcg !! I feel like this group has had so many positives! Must be a lucky place to be!!

@NatJ24 @ELMcg brilliant news ladies, so pleased for you!!

Cd1 for me. Im okay with it, half of me wonders if I'll ever be pregnant again where as the other half is a sense of relief that Im not in case it all goes wrong again!! I'm wondering if there is something up with me though because I don't really notice the ewcm when I'm about to ovulate. The month we got pregnant I used fertility friendly lubricant but I havnt since as I'm worried now about interfering with mother nature!? Or am I over thinking it!? Ttc is just so annoying, maybe I need to just take a break from it all.

Congrats on your bfps ladies its great news!
