I'm 5dpo and already feel like my period is coming. Lol... weird heaviness in my abdomen. Feel a bit moody. How about you?

@TTC94 congrats!! Amazing news, hope this is a happy healthy pregnancy for you! I understand how you must be feeling though.

Oh my gosh - I’ve just looked at mine, one calculator says New Year’s Eve and one says New Years day!
Will we have 2020 or 2021 babies I wonder?!

I’m still in absolute shock! Xx

TTC94 · 20/04/2021 19:40

@Kty09 wow! We will be super close together!

I’m already getting too excited and then trying to reign it in!

Wishing you a healthy and safe pregnancy too xx

Kty09 · 20/04/2021 19:46

@TTC94 everything has been running through my mind today! How I will spend the whole rest of this year pregnant which just seems crazy! I haven’t told anyone yet! Not even my OH, he is away on a business trip and I want to tell him in person 😬

Are you a 94 baby too by your name? X

TTC94 · 20/04/2021 19:54

@Kty09 oh wow! I’m so impressed you’ve kept it to yourself. I told my husband immediately.

I already feel impatient and I just want a 12 week scan for some reassurance.

Yes, I’m 27 (birthday in Feb) and my husband is 29 and his birthday is Feb too! So a December baby will be nice timing xx

Kty09 · 20/04/2021 20:11

@TTC94 I know it’s torture!
Would you get an early scan? I have thought about it!

Ah I am 27 in a couple of months and my OH is 29 this week! That’s a good birthday present isn’t it Xx

TTC94 · 20/04/2021 20:18

@Kty09 what a fab birthday present!

We’ll definitely get an early scan. I think I’d be too anxious to wait the full 12 weeks. Although it wouldn’t put my mind totally at ease as I wouldn’t feel reasonably relaxed that everything was okay until 12 weeks had passed xx

Congratulations @TTC94 AND @Kty09 !!! Amazing news!! When did you test? How many dpo?

My period has already ended. Lasted just three days and my cycles this month and last were 23/24 days. I googled short menstrual cycles and short periods and was gutted to read everywhere that as eggs start to diminish in older ladies the cycles become shorter etc. Now I am convinced I am perimenopausal especially when I read about symptoms!!

Tell me I'm being daft and it's not too late for babies lol!!

TTC94 · 21/04/2021 09:48

@Gnashaloulou thank you! I think I tested at 11dpo (the day before my period was due). I got positives on a Clearblue non-digital and digital. Although I have been testing every day since too, but I will stop in the next couple of days as I know it’s an unhealthy obsession!

How old are you? If you don’t mind me asking.

Try not to let Google get you down, we’ve all been there and convinced ourselves there’s some reason why we can’t conceive. But I’m sure if you went to the doctor they’d tell you otherwise. Plus there are things you can do to improve egg quality to counteract egg quality diminishing with age.

Sending positivity your way xx

Kty09 · 21/04/2021 10:00

Thank you @Gnashaloulou 💗 I was 13dpo, I have bought a CB digital to take tomorrow, I was due on either yesterday or today I think.
My last cycle was 24 days, And AF usually lasted 3 days for me - apart from last month I had a positive OPK on CD9 (was CD11 this month) and Google told me the egg wouldn’t be mature enough to fertilise. I now realise I worried for nothing! Xx

Gnashaloulou · 21/04/2021 10:03

Thank you @TTC94 - I can be so obsessive sometimes! I am 38. My mum got pregnant with twins at 36 and my sister in law had her first at 40 after years of trying, so I know deep down I have a few years left in my yet!! And to be fair we have only been trying for a couple of months (came off the pill in December) but my dp was unwell January and some of Feb so we didn't really dtd much then. xx

Gnashaloulou · 21/04/2021 10:07

@Kty09 that's interesting... I think Google has a lot to answer for haha!! What a lovely pleasant surprise your bfp was then!!

I think this cycle I will refrain from doing a pregnancy test until the day I am due. Last cycle I was testing like a woman possessed from about a week before af was due! I felt so anxious and must've spent a small fortune on pee sticks in the process. Grin xx

TTC94 · 21/04/2021 10:27

@Gnashaloulou my mom was 38 when she had me!

People much older than you have children!

Stay positive and stay hopeful!

Xx

@Gnashaloulou my mum had me just before her 42nd birthday!

I think I will always be a POAS addict. Lol. I got my BFP from my first pregnancy at 9dpo x

justwant2beamum · 23/04/2021 08:51

Bfn for me at 11dpo on a frer so I'm out. Also out for May as partner going away.

Cheesestring19 · 13/05/2021 15:25

Hi did anyone have very light brown discharge 2 days late? I think I ovulated late and had unprotected sex a week ago. I was due on 2 days ago but since last night Iv had such light brown discharge only when wiping?

StarL2021 · 13/05/2021 16:07

@Cheesestring19 I usually get this when I'm coming on. But some people get their BFP from it. Ladies @justwant2beamum @Gnashaloulou @TTC94 @Kty09 @BloodyHellAudrey etc... how are you all doing? 6dpo over here and feel like I'm definitely out

OP posts:
TTC94 · 13/05/2021 19:15

@StarL2021 sorry to hear you’re feeling out this month. When is your period due? Sending positivity and well wishes for you, fingers crossed you start feeling some symptoms soon!

I’m 7 weeks 2 days now and have had an early scan (yesterday), everything seems well so far but I am still very anxious. Just want everything to be okay! Xx

justwant2beamum · 13/05/2021 23:09

Hey, I got peak opks last fri so I went to visit my oh where he's working for the weekend. He was on nightshift so didnt DTD till Saturday am, Saturday pm then Sunday pm. But think I had ov pains fri so I think I might have been too late and missed it but at least I gave it a shot. Currently 5dpo. Xxx

So do I. Woke this morning and it's still the same. Light brown only when wiping! 🙈🙈 this is all very odd
