Valentines, pancakes, BFPs etc thread 2

[DancinOnTheCeiling]

Just made a new thread as the other one was filling up...

@Mariabombia sorry meant to say I hope you and DH are feeling better soon xx

@BH1926 ooo that's amazing!! Congratulations 👏🏻 you must be over the moon ❤️That gives me hope that not doing it as much & covid etc won't necessarily be a bad thing. Sorry to hear about your CPs, I hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy lovely. Is this your first and how long have you been ttc?

@BH1926 & thank you 💕

Any other ladies that have got a bfp or can remember their previous pregnancies... did you have /do you have much cramping? I don't remember much at all from my previous pregnancy and I'm terrified of losing this one I'm experiencing on and off cramping still (probably more on than off) a week on from my positive test and over a week since my missed AF.
I get a lot of cramping on one side anyway which is why I'm having an ultrasound next week but this is more all over.

@oldermam sounds like textbook symptoms fingers crossed for you!
@Bundaberg84 honestly I feel the exact same I didn’t ever think it would take this long after my miscarriage and one chemical. I just feel really low. I too had all the symptoms same as my last pregnancy, the sore boobs the nausea the super clear skin the vivid dreams, the frequent urination, the spotting. So it has been extra tough, goes to show AF and pregnancy early on can feel the same I guess.

My AF is arriving very very slowly, 3 days early i wish the gates would just open already. I feel really don’t have the energy to ttc conceive next month I have very long painful periods so by the time it is over I have to start getting busy and I just feel knackered 🙁. I feel like my dream is over for now and as I won’t be having more than another child so I might as well take a break. I also don't like the idea of a winter baby and dd starting school so i will try a more chilled approach for the next few months and see what happens. The knock off effect of all this on my mental health has been surprisingly overwhelming. I never thought it would be this tough so good luck ladies and don’t forget to take care of yourselves. I guess I have to make peace with the unknown and finally move on. I will update in the upcoming months if anything happens.

@Nico89 when I was pregnant with my daughter I had cramping on and off for the first 8 weeks. It’s really unsettling but normal I am told 😊

@bigalice thankyou. My last pregnancy was almost 7 years ago so I don't remember any of it !

@Mariabombia Thank you 😊 yeah your definitely still in with a good chance!
This is cycle 10 ttc number 2. We already have a DD she's 4. She's desperate for a sibling.

How long have you been ttc? Is this your first you are trying for? Xx

Yeah first baby 😍 I just can't wait, want it to happen already!! We'll be going on to our 5th month ttc now 😕

Aww I bet!! That will be a lovely age gap then xx

Sorry I forgot to tag you @BH1926 x

@Nico89 I had cramping on and off for about the first 6 weeks of my first pregnancy. Just remember your uterus is a muscle and it has a lot of changes to go though so i kind of think of it like leg cramps... but milder! I'm cramping right now, have had mild cramps since even before BFP.

Hi everyone, finally getting a chance to say hello 👋🏻👋🏻. Have had the busiest days at work and then finally now that I’m on my days off - sorry TMI warning - I’ve had the worst every horrific diarrhoea yesterday, had to race the car home and run the loo, then was on the loo all night, I felt sooo awful. So just saying hello, taking DD to bed and will then have a proper read of what’s been happening.. xx

@Nico89 I had cramps with DS, they started before I got my bfp so I was convinced AF was coming but nope and they continued for a good few weeks. It was so unsettling but quite common. 🤞 its just a growing sticky bean that's stretching away at that uterus!!!

@mightbeeyesmightbeno @purple29

Thankyou both that is reassuring. No spotting or anything just cramping so hopefully it is just a sticky little bean stretching away to make some room in there.

@dancingontheceiling oh no you poor thing. Hope you feel better soon

Hi Ladies,
Just had a catch up on the thread, congratulations to those who have got those BFP's ❤
These threads really help me feel normal to be honest. I find the TTC journey so draining at times, someone else mentioned they do the due calculator for if they were to get pregnant which is what I do every time and drive myself insane!! I'm CD11 today, got a smiley on clearblue yesterday. DTD yesterday and Wednesday but then OH is on a 4 day stag, my app says ovulation on monday but the clearblue smiley has thrown me as think i must be ovulating earlier. Im really not feeling we've got any chance this month which is so hard. Sending positivity to you all on this rollercoaster xxx

Finally managed to read everything since I last posted.

Firstly, huge congratulations @mightbeyesmightbeno and @Cmac1890,
that’s amazing news 🥳🥳. So chuffed for you! Wishing you both sticky beans.

Fingers crossed for this cycle @ElleBelleLou. I know what you mean about timings though.. you sound amazing with your positive attitude. Lots of luck to you.

So sorry about the witch arriving for some people and about feeling deflated. It’s so unfair. I wish there was an actual way to send pregnancy dust, like a contagious thing...

Also so sorry to hear how insensitive people are being @RosyappleA. I don’t get it at all when people are like that, it’s so rude and ignorant.

@Nico89 thanks. I seem to be catching everything at the minute; I had an infected tooth (and was on antibiotics) plus had awful thrush/BV during TWW, now the diarrhoea.. wouldn’t mind a break for a bit! By the way I have cramping too. Not lots and lots but enough to make me notice and wonder (ie panic). I’ve also had spotting/bleeding since Saturday; I find it really worrying but have taken another test today and it went dark literally straight away so assuming I’m okay.

Sending lots of baby dust and hugs to everyone xx

@Mariabombia aw really hope this is your cycle 🤞🏻❤️ xx

Morning! Think I might be joining the BFP club….

10dpo so it’s a squinter but something there!

2nd month ttc and last month had a chemical so feeling very pessimistic that it isn’t going to stick but keeping everything crossed.

Also still full of cold :(

@Bringonbaby3 congratulations! Hope your cold goes away soon.

Woo congratulations @Bringonbaby3!

I don't really know what's going on with me. If I'd caught I would be 4+3 and yet there's still not even a sniff of a line or AF

Congrats @Bringonbaby3! :)

3dpo here and I managed to give myself food poisoning like an idiot. I’m guessing that’s me out now as I don’t think an embryo will implant in a sick body :(

Congratulations @Bringonbaby3 xx

Congrats @BringOnBaby3!!!

@TheBirdintheCave don't think that when I fell with DS i was so ill with the flu from like ovulation day for about 10 days after. Like really ill!!! I had never had a BFP in 2 years so I was so so shocked. Our bodies are capable of so much!!!

Congrats @Bringonbaby3 hoping for a sticky bean for you! xx

@Nico89 I had cramps when pregnant with DS for the first few weeks and then combined with when I had spotting as well sent me into overdrive! It's normal as it's meant to be your uterus stretching and accommodating I was told xx

Chickened out of testing this morning, now kicking myself as I'm obviously meant to be out for drinks tonight!
