Hoping to get our BFPs in January - the story continues

[Shortmamashortcycles]

Hi all, I have figured out how to create a thread on Mumsnet and here goes... my first one.

This is a continuation of the two (!) full Jan threads so far this month - we're a chatty bunch and happy to welcome new folks. There'll probably be a February thread starting up soon too.

Will tag everyone I can see below... please join if I missed you!

Congratulations @Timeaftertime21 🎉

Congratulations @BecLJ 🎉

Congrats @Timeaftertime21 and @BecLJ, I'm so pleased this turned out to be such a lucky thread! Wishing you all super healthy and happy 9 months ❤

Is there any way we can repost the AF due date list with BFP bedside all the BFP’ers 🙊🤣

I had mood swings tonight, always get them 4/5 days before AF

Congratulations on all the BFPs!

Can’t help feeling like I’m out this month but it’s only our first month of trying. I feel like I regularly do pre AF. A bit spotty, cranky, crampy, sore boobs… all could be preggo symptoms but also all could be AF symptoms,

I tested at 9DPO with an early digital and it was BFN. I’m now 11 DPO and will test on Friday if no sign of AF.

Hi ladies, just catching up after a busy start to the week. I've got everything crossed for the BFPs to keep flowing in - get those socks on girls 😂
The excitement of the TWW and symptom spotting must have even dampened my symptoms because since I got my BFP I'm exhausted all the time and grab a nap any chance I get right now. Slightly nervous about AF due date on Friday but I know once it passes it will all feel more real for me... Line progression pic attached 🙏🏼

@AmberRH1993 that’s a great progression pic!! Fingers crossed for you. At my AF when pregnant due date I had 2 days of bad cramps, like my body was doing it’s last ditch attempt to throw the intruder out. Not very hospitable 😂. Hope yours is minimal!

@AmberRH1993 That's a lovely line progression❤️ I'm also due AF on Friday and saving my digital test until Saturday. I was hoping to do a test this morning with fmu but I needed a wee at 3.30am so couldn't face it then 🤦🏻‍♀️ I usually experience spots particularly before my period so I'm hoping my clear skin is a good sign. I've also struggled to get to sleep the last couple of nights. Admittedly TTC has caused me insomnia which I've never experienced but things had improved a lot the last couple of weeks and now I'm back to being wide awake 🤷🏻‍♀️

Best of luck to those still waiting 🤞🏻

Congratulations to all the new bfps! What a lucky thread! 👶🏻

I tested this morning at 9dpo with frer and bfn and wondfo bfn :( I had pink spotting at 3dpo, 4dpo and 6 dpo so was hoping implantation.

I'm still hoping but feeling a little sad about it.

AF is due today - I’ve had horrible spotty skin and awful moods for the last week which usually happens before AF so i’m not full of hope. Ironically I’m so awful to be around pre AF that my poor DP has to tiptoe around me, not sure i’ll be able to get him to come round before it’s time to get busy with it for next ovulation!!

No sign of AF yet but it tends to be a day either side of when it’s due so going to try and wait til tomorrow before testing!

@CJB92 I tested negative at 9dpo on a FRER but 10dpo I had a faint positive and today (11dpo) I have a darker line so don't lose hope just yet 🤞🏻

@Timeaftertime21 ah thank you. Congratulations on your bfp! I am due AF I'm 5 days so figured if FRER picks up 6 days before I would have had a bfp today but nothing. Just hoping if I wait until tomorrow or even the next day I should know. Definitely dtd enough and after chemical last month really hoping this is gonna work this month.

I'm the same today, backache and gurgling, I know it's coming. Feel so down I'm out. Today I'm either 9dpo or 12dpo My guess is I'm 11dpo and af due tomo Friday at the latest

HOLY moly - i gave in and tested and it’s positive!!! Going to have to do another later to believe it.

I had a negative at 11DPO so don’t lose hope…wait til AF is due i have my fingers crossed for you.

@toddlertired oh wow! Congratulations!! All the best for you xx

Fabulous news Congratulations 🥳

Did you have any symptoms. Only symptoms I have is usual AF symptoms

@toddlertired
Just realised you had AF symptoms also.
At least you don’t have to try to bring him round again for next ovulation 🤣
I hoping you have a HH 9 months x

@toddlertired Congratulations!!!!

@toddlertired, another one! Amazing stuff! Huge congratulations and hope your husband forgives you for your grumpy state now 😉

Ha - yes i have a great excuse for the particularly awful mood swings. It feels nothing like last time (DS turns 3 tomorrow!) - i had quite sensitive boobs, but not as sore as last time. Really bad skin, but nothing that i thought wasn’t normal AF signs.

Good luck to you guys still waiting I am crossing my pee sticks for you!!

The pent up frustration I currently feel is unreal. I want to fight with everyone as I feel it releases a bit of steam!
My mood is not good, back ache, head ache. I feel like I’m about to SNAP!!
