Congratulations @Floslittlebean 💕

I’m 12dpo today and I feel like AF is on its way. Got some dull cramps so expecting that to arrive soon 😩 I’ve had such dry lips and a dry mouth over the weekend too, and I’ve been up since about 3am this morning as I just couldn’t sleep, so we you can imagine, I’m a treat to be around today 😭😂 Here’s hoping for many more BFP’s this week 💕

[BH1926]

@Irishfarmer congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy ❤️

[ohmybaby]

Ohhhhh @Irishfarmer so thrilled for you! That is really really really fabulous news. Congratulations!

[Peonies94]

@Irishfarmer congratulations!

@ohmybaby thank you and best of luck to you!

&@Squiff70 sorry to hear, I had BFN today and feeling really rubbish too!

Anyone 9DPO and have waves of sickness? It’s weird, it comes rarely and lasts seconds if anything, but when it comes I feel like I might be coming down with something, but then totally disappears! I’m putting it down to the stress of TWW tbh!

[Irishfarmer]

With regards symptoms, I can't say I noticed a lot, but last Thursday I got very teary. It's one of my days off and I normally get a lot of house work done but I sat on the couch watching Downton Abbey! I was also pretty tired about DPO 5/6 and sorry tmi v gassy poor dog was getting blamed.
I want to call my DH but I'll wait until he is home for lunch. I don't want to get too excited since I have had 2 MC but I am. Doubt I'll be "let" do any farming for the next while either.

[Squiff70]

Many congratulations @Irishfarmer! So happy for you!!!

[Natalie2304]

@Irishfarmer huge congratulations! There's nothing like a digital to make it feel real! Xxx

[Squiff70]

Thanks @Peonies94 and @ohmybaby. I guess 11 DPO won't show on an IC anyway. I'll try again tomorrow. I have had a metallic taste in my mouth for 36 hours now and can't explain it. I know it can be a symptom of early pregnancy but I'm not holding out much hope now for this month.

[Danani]

@Irishfarmer Congratulations!!! I don't know what it is about digital tests, but they just make everything so much more official, don't they! Hope you have a smooth and easy pregnancy, no farm work for you lady, you deserve to relax and be spoiled. :)
Hope we all get some of your baby luck! x

[ohmybaby]

@Peonies94 I am 9DPO and got a big wave of nausea this morning and I am never nauseous, so got really excited!

Don't be down about a BFN at this stage - 9DPO you're only statistically 47.5% likely to get a positive result, so hang in there. (Stats provided by this great site shared by another member in the last thread - www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php)

I'm holding fire with testing until Friday morning - if you want a buddy to wait with?!!?

[ohmybaby]

Sorry adding the link again as the bracket sends you to the wrong page www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php

[WhiteLily86]

Congrats to all the ladies with BFP's what a day I missed yesterday still refreshing the old thread!!

Hope you all have a really good healthy pregnancy and lots of big smiles on your faces this week xxx

[Irishfarmer]

@Danani I know, it's just when it is there in words, I should have done it yesterday instead of questioning faint lines.

[beckybabyx]

Congratulations @Irishfarmer

Another cheapie BFN this morning at 13DPO for me - AF due Friday and I feel like she's on her way. Had a little cry this morning as I just feel so down in the dumps about it all. Myself and DP had a lovely chat last night about all things baby and how we would decorate the nursey etc. and it's just hit home how much I want this.

It's so hard because TTC#1 and you don't know you can until you do, if that makes sense!
I also have added anxiety about it as my sister and her DH can't have babies unfortunately, so it just adds to the worry that it'll be the same for us - AHHHHH THE EMOTIONS OF TTC

[Mummytobe93]

Omg another one, what a week! Huge congratulations @Irishfarmer, I’m buzzing for you 🐝🥰xxxx

[Mummytobe93]

Ahh @beckybabyx I’m with you on this one, and whereas my DH has already got DS with his ex, he’s more than confident it’s going to happen but sometimes it’s hard for me to stay optimistic. It’s 3rd cycle that the sperm was where it should be when I ovulated yet it didn’t work… I suppose we need to just keep going and hope it’s going to happen for us just like it happened for so many girls on this thread 💕

[Sar1010]

Today’s test is on the bottom. So it is getting darker 🥰

I’m just abit nervous because I’m having AF cramps! But I guess that’s normal??Really not allowing myself to be excited after the chemical last year. I think once I’m actually late for AF it might seem real.


How’s everyone holding out today?

@beckybabyx how long have you been trying? I’d suggest getting some tests it really gave me and Dh a new sense of life!
It’s horrid journey all this, and to think some people accidentally fall pregnant. Blows my mind!

[Irishfarmer]

@beckybabyx I got lucky conceiving 1st month "properly" TTC but depending on your age you only have a 15-25% chance of conceiving any month. I was still disappointed last month when AF showed up though, even though it was my first period after MC. Keep the chin up. You most likely can conceive, my mams family is HUGE out of 9 sisters only 1 had fertility issues needing medical help.

@Mummytobe93 you also had all the stress/ excitement of the wedding during this cycle! Thank you for opening this thread it has been great to bounce thoughts off of women who understand, my DH wants a baby but don't think he fully understood the constant testing or TWW!

In other news, talk about big brother, I haven't said it out loud, or searched for anything on my phone. Just on here that I got a BFP, on FB the ads have changed to baby products!!!

[WorriedD93]

@Sar1010 that’s amazing congratulations! When is AF due?

[Sar1010]

@WorriedD93 thank you! It’s due on Thursday but last month it came a day late so it may be Friday! I don’t know how to get on with my day I’m overthinking and expecting the worst. Really need some distraction!

[Mummytobe93]

@Irishfarmer I know right, last month I’ve been either stressed, drunk, ill or not sleeping 😂 that’s scary regarding FB ads😬 👀

Can’t blame men for not understanding TTC, my 25 year old sister didn’t know you only fertile around ovulation!

Congrats @Sar1010 🥰lovely news!

[Danani]

@beckybabyx and @Mummytobe93 I totally share the sentiment too.

I know I sound absolutely deranged saying this, and my heart goes out to anyone who has experienced a chemical...but sometimes...I think that having a chemical would be better than not having anything at all. At least it would indicate that my egg and his swimmers can do their jobs!
I know, I know, I sound like a psychopath saying this and I know how absolutely heartbreaking and devastating it must be when this happens...but it is almost equally devastating when you know you're doing things right...yet, nothing is happening.

Anyways, I know realistically the chances of us being healthy and able to conceive are much greater than not being, and I believe we're all on cycle 3 or so, so pretty early days still. Maybe we just all need to somehow chill and adjust our expectations that things should happen NOW! (LOL, easier said than done!)

[Peonies94]

@ohmybaby yes let’s do this!! I’ll try my hardest to wait!

[SantiagoSister]

@Danani I can completely understand where you’re coming from, to me that doesn’t sound deranged at all, as awful as it is to experience a chemical, at least you would then know everything is working as it should, and you’d have more hope for the next cycles of trying. TTC and the fears and worries it brings is such a heavy burden, I don’t think you’re crazy for wanting some reassurance that it can happen one day. Keep strong, it will happen for you ❤️

[ohmybaby]

@Peonies94 haha yay! Ok it's a deal - but no pressure if you cave beforehand. I know I'm seriously tempted too! Fingers crossed for us both (and everyone else still in the TWW)!

[WorriedD93]

@Sar1010 the overthinking is the worst past, literally eats you daily. Google seems to be my best friend and worst enemy through these times
