Thanks @MrsRosaline! @QueenLagertha hope you're getting on ok!!!! Xxx

hoola23 · 02/09/2021 09:07

@MrsRosaline thanks for setting it up! I thought I had said something wrong and that's why it wouldn't let me post!!🤣

My sore throat has now developed into a full on cold😞 which is super annoying as I've only gotten over covid in the last couple of weeks! I keep feeling like maybe I'm having extremely mild waves of period type pain but then I think it's all in my head! Someone just needs to lock me away until the 7th sept! Haven't tested this morning but I only have my cb fertility monitor tests and apparently they show two lines whether your pg or not! Cheapies will arrive today!

Hope everyone is staying positive today!! X

wannabeamummysobad · 02/09/2021 09:53

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you all this cycle.🤞🏻 to BFPs and stickiest of beans x

hoola23 · 02/09/2021 14:53

@wannabeamummysobad thank you!! I'm really struggling today, I honestly can't work out if I'm having cramps or not, actually driving myself insane. I don't normally get period pains with AF so I can't really remember what they feel like!! I can only describe what I'm feeling as like a pulling or heavy feeling very low down and then on and off waves of mild crampy things! But... could also be in my head!

newtolineofduty · 02/09/2021 20:14

@hoola23 sorry to hear you're struggling. I think it's totally understandable to become mega hyper vigilant to any bodily symptom during the 2ww! I'm in a different head space this month as last month I had every symptom going with a total lack of PMS cramps etc and I wasn't pregnant so I've realised no symptom I experience means anything! Think the symptoms must have been psychosomatic!! It's good though as it means I'm feeling more chilled. Can I ask what cycle you're on? We're on cycle 4 and it's our second baby x

Oh @hoola23 I totally get you and have been there before! You just have to keep waiting it out. What day are you on now? 7th September is not so far away!

@newtolineofduty I'm just not handling it this month at all. And I promised myself I wouldn't do this! I've had all these symptoms before so I don't even know why I'm overthinking it all!! This is cycle 12 of TTC#1 and our last cycle before we do fertility testing. Perhaps that's why I'm being so ridiculous this month, kinda don't want to have to go down that route! I'm the only one in me and my DH family who doesn't have a child and I really feel it at all the family events with all the kids etc, I feel like a spare part😕
@MrsRosaline I just really need to get a grip! It's not even the not being pregnant, it's the having hope for two weeks to then be let down, I'd rather just know now and move on!
Tests have come, but I'm not doing it as it will clearly be a BFN at 7dpo!!!
Hope you're both doing ok x

newtolineofduty · 02/09/2021 21:03

@hoola23 that's totally what gets me-the roller coaster of emotions, as opposed to the not getting pregnant!

It's totally understandable why this month feels the most difficult @hoola23 x just try and keep busy and make lots of nice plans xx

hoola23 · 02/09/2021 21:39

@newtolineofduty you're totally right! Being off work this week has defo not helped! I do have a confession, I took one of the cheaply tests this evening, just to see and I can defo see something however, not totally sure if it's a false one or evap lines that I hear so many people speak about. I've never had even a hint of a line before so I'm not actually sure what I'm looking at! Any thoughts welcome! X

Well there's definitely a line there! I'd test with a better quality test in the morning x

hoola23 · 02/09/2021 21:46

@MrsRosaline yes I defo will! Knowing my luck these cheapies will all be faulty🤣 not telling my DH anything just yet... just in case!

newtolineofduty · 02/09/2021 21:53

Eeek yes deffo a line @hoola23! I'd deffo retest with a more reliable one maybe in a couple of days with FMU x have you used those ones before? Keep us updated! Xxx

hoola23 · 02/09/2021 22:02

@newtolineofduty I'll be rushing to boots for a frer tomo morning!! How gutting would it be if they're just dodgy! Yes ive used them pretty much every month and have never had even a dot, and I analyse them with my torch and everything usually🤣🤣🤣🤣. On a positive note, I now fully get the dont test early thing, I'm still in the same situation as before 🤣

newtolineofduty · 02/09/2021 22:13

Crossing fingers for you @hoola23!!!! Xxx

hoola23 · 02/09/2021 22:16

@newtolineofduty thank you so much!! Me too! Haha!

newtolineofduty · 02/09/2021 22:25

@hoola23 Hope you manage some sleep tonight! X

hoola23 · 02/09/2021 22:39

@newtolineofduty doubtful!!🤣 it's taking everything to not tell my DH but I would hate to disappoint him if this is not a true BFP!

MrsRosaline · 02/09/2021 23:35

Please update us in the morning!! I'm not sure if I'm any DPO yet. I could be one or two but OvuSense haven't confirmed yet. We were going to DTD tonight but I was just too tired I really didn't want to. So hopefully we've done enough!

Just checking in to new thread 👋🏽
I am praying that there are some more BFPs this month on this thread 🤞🏼

@hoola23 hoping that is your BFP!!

All good with me here. 6 weeks tomorrow. No symptoms really! I'm waiting on the sickness to start as I had it from 3.5 weeks with DS 🤷‍♀️surely I'm not getting away without it 😂

hoola23 · 03/09/2021 07:34

Morning all! @QueenLagertha glad to hear you're doing well! Hopefully the sickness continues to stay away for you!!

So gutted but I'm pretty sure that test last night was a dodgy one as this mornings is defo negative. Knew it would be too good to be true! Defo serves me right for testing super early!

LittleDoveLove · 03/09/2021 08:03

Hello! Have found you all! I'm away at the moment so not been checking in as much. How's everyone doing? Xx

newtolineofduty · 03/09/2021 08:42

@hoola23 I think those ICs are abit unreliable recently! I also don't trust FRERs any more after all the indent stories! I'm officially a CB girl now! Xxx it's still mega early so I'd wait a couple more days to test but throw the ICs away! X

hoola23 · 03/09/2021 08:50

@newtolineofduty .think you're right! Thought it was too good to be true! Only hope I'm holding onto now is that it's still super early!

MrsRosaline · 03/09/2021 11:02

Wow @QueenLagertha ! I've heard of people suffering horrendously with first pregnancies and then being ok with no.2! Hopefully it stays that way for you!

@hoola23 I threw all my cheapies away as one month I had pretty clear lines like in your picture. It wasn't just one test either - I tested three or four times and they were all the same! So unreliable 🤕

OP posts:
hoola23 · 03/09/2021 11:45

@MrsRosaline I think I should do the same! I literally feel no symptoms at all now. Just left with this bloody cold!
