@CookieMonster3001 Yay congratulations 🎉😍 definitely positive! Eek!! 😊 so happy for you!

I'm about 9DPO today. I feel rubbish, splitting headache and soooo tired but I'm not testing unless my period is ridiculously late as I don't believe this is my month.

@Kayeyeem fair enough. I’m not sure I could wait but it is my first time.
Why do you feel it’s not your month? Just a feeling? X

@NewbieB It's only my 2nd month of trying this time but I was trying for just over 18 months with my 2nd son and it was hard work. Last month I let myself get carried away with it all and convinced myself I was getting symptoms so when AF turned up (almost a week late) I was really upset and I realised I can't let myself get too over imaginative each month lol. Plus pregnancy tests never seen to work for me until I'm really late anyway 🙈

@Kayeyeem that makes complete sense. I hope you get a positive result soon 🤞🏼.

Omg @CookieMonster3001 this is it!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!

Thanks ladies! Im trying to be cautiously optimistic but I am also fully aware that finding out this early can also mean I could find a chemical so praying thats not the case! OH doesnt know yet but doing anoher test today and will then tell him!

@kayeyeem those symptoms sound good! Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞when is AF due?

Progression from yesterday to today. Still nervous!

@CookieMonster3001 that's really sensible and understandable Cookie, I was actually saying to OH yesterday that if/when we get a BFP I'll feel like I should get too happy. It's a real rollercoaster ride but that progression is looking really good!! I bet your DH is going to be over the moon!! Remind us what you did.. Was is DTD everyday in FW, keeping warm and pineapple?
OH just came up and brought me a coffee in bed and went... I suppose we've gotta have sex today... Haha the romance!!!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yeh defo he is so happy but hes said he doesnt wanna get too excited and I agree! Especially as I wiped a bit of red just now. Trying to say to myself temps are still high so maybe its just implantation.

I ovulated CD12 and we DTD CD7, CD10 CD11 and CD12. We literally havnt done it since lol. Kept myself warm after, had pineapple for 5 days and thats about it really. Tried to eat more nuts in the TWW and I have been taking zinc tablets this month as its apparently good for progestrone levels. Not sure how much any of it makes a difference but it makes me feel like I am being proactive lol

@CookieMonster3001 I also seen some blood on my knicker (sorry for TMI) and still cramping. I am so nervous and I have important meeting today. I am hoping it is only implementation.

Shall I call GP? or wait and call if I see full flow?

@CookieMonster3001 I also seen some blood in my knicker. so so nervous. Try to convince myself it is only implementation bleed but I don't know would they happen at 4 weeks (I am CD15)?

I don't know shall I call my GP now? Or wait and see if it becomes like full flow?

sorry for multiple message I thought the first one didn't post.

@velam i would just wait and see. Mines pretty much stopped now so not gonna worry. Unless it becomes heavy and full flow, try to relax. Fingers crossed its nothing x

I hope you ladies don’t mind me joining the thread.

We’ve been TTC for 10 months now, cycles have been all over the place and this last cycle was the first time I finally got a static smiley on CD20! I’ve been patiently waiting this week to do a pregnancy test but unfortunately AF arrived this morning 😔

Any advice on how to keep positive? I feel like I’m losing hope with every month that comes and goes. I’ve been holding back tears all morning at work 😥 I don’t know if I can keep going with the disappointment xx

@CookieMonster3001 thank you, will do that. Mine stopped too. Wish you happy and healthy nine month.

@MashaPotato understand you with all my heart. Last cycle when AF came I was crying for two days straight and rest of the month were down and disappointed. and I got positive this month. Try to not loose hope, it will happen, I know it's easier said than done. Try to think of this way, keeping positive and happy make your body does its job better.

@velam and @CookieMonster3001 I had pink/red/brown spotting on wiping for about 10 days from week 5-7(ish). I went for a private scan just to check the baby was in the right place and there wasn't anything potentially more sinister going on. My scan went well and showed a healthy pregnancy.

It's easy to say but try not to worry. If you have any pain with bleeding then I'd advise speaking to your local EPU. But there's very little that they can do at this point other than check to make sure there's nothing else going on.

I've not had any subsequent bleeding so am now just hoping/assuming that my pregnancy is progressing correctly. (Especially seeing as I've already put almost 3" on around my waist and my weight hasn't gone up anywhere near enough to account for that!)

Thank you for that @Curiosity101. I hope it's nothing and I don't see it anymore as I panic badly. But I try to stay calm. How many weeks are you now?

@velam I used to panic too, it's completely natural and understandable 🙂. I'm 10+4 today ☺️

Thank you @velam I’m looking forward to going home and having a good cry. Always feels better getting it out. I think that’s almost the hardest part, no body knows what you’re going through so you feel so alone. Onto the next cycle I guess! Although we’re not sure whether to have a break from it for a little while as it’s getting a bit overwhelming.

Massive congratulations to those of you who have been successful, all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby 💖

@Curiosity101 OMG, amazing. Wishing you amazing rest of your pregnancy and healthy happy baby

@MashaPotato completely with you, I did feel lonely throughout even hubby is very supportive. Maybe some break would help. I really hope to hear your good news soon xx

@CookieMonster3001 There's definitely progress between those photos 😀
Have you told your OH yet?
AF is due in 4 days and I think she's definitely on her way 😕 I've had cramps on and off all day 😭
@MashaPotato Welcome 🙂 I'm sorry AF arrived this month 😔 it's not an easy journey. Rest up this weekend and you'll start to feel better. Wishing you baby dust 💫

Hi ladies!
Just joined and jumping on the thread so I have people to talk to and keep sane with (hopefully!)
Only 2nd month of TTC (for first child) after having coil removed and got positive ovulation test yesterday. We didn't know my cycle so just kept DTD every other day hoping for the best. So I'm on my first 2WW... any tips for not going crazy? 😬 xx

@SendmetoFlorida welcome! I’m very new to this too- (first cycle of trying and on 6DPO currently). I’m surprised how long it feels already. Last night my partner wanted to have a few drinks (in the house after work) and was pouring me a drink and I really wanted one but didn’t. Also struggled with cutting down on caffeine which has made me constipated, not using hot water bottles or having hot baths and this is all before coming pregnant. I have googled way too much already but going to have to chill out as aware how long it may take to get pregnant (and i’m 35).
So i totally understand how you feel and going to have to also learn to chill out about everything! X

@NewbieB well done for resisting the drink! Yes cutting out coffee is a killer... I'm a teacher so will be back in school in a few weeks so don't know how I will cope! Usually live off coffee 😳

Hi ladies. Hope all is well with everyone. I am having some strange symptoms the last couple of days but don't want to get my hopes up. I've got an awful metallic taste in my mouth, have lots of cramps in my tummy, a lot of excess saliva and my boobs feel strange. Not really sore but different. I've also gone off food. Definitely not like me. I'm not due my period until next Saturday? So not sure what's going on...
