[Tophy124]

Hi anyone else in the dreaded waiting weeks?

Im having a crazy cycle this month so I think I’m 6 DPO but could be 2 DPO as I had 2 LH surges on my Premom OPKs. Trying to not get my hopes up!

Symptoms: back ache, lower belly cramps with aching around upper thighs, sore and full breasts, fatigue.

Not due AF till next Sunday so I have a wait to go!

Sorry @Tophy124 it sucks when you do everything right and it still doesn't happen, still time yet though, but do what you need to do

Why is it everyone starts announcing healthy pregnancies when you're trying, it's like we're surrounded right? I've had about 3 more announcements since my miscarriage! Luckily no one close to me and only people I know on fb!

@JD90 I feel so hungry and tired and grouchy today too, such a sore head, have worked from my bed, thank god for working at home! Only good thing to happen after covid! 😂

@suz2285 in over the random announcements!! I have my in laws coming this weekend and I was so excited to possibly get a BFP on Mother’s Day, but I will have to stuff down the negativity to not ruin their trip as we only see them twice a year and they are making a lot of effort to come and see us. Going to try and stay busy till AF shows

@Tophy124 I'm so sorry you are feeling this way, I totally understand what you are going through so I know it doesn't matter what anyone says you can't help feel the way you do. Be kind to yourself and accept what you are feeling is normal.

Having struggled over the years I deleted all social media as I just couldn't handle the pregnancy announcements! I am happy for those people but I just hate that it's not me. I also decided that I wouldn't do one even amongst extended family when it's my time as I can imagine so many other people would be possibly going through what I am.

I really hoped to have a positive for this Mother's Day as it is would have meant the perfect Christmas too. But such is life and yes it sucks!!!!

Everyone I know has a baby or more!! and it's painful to want the same and not get it. Our time will come, it might not be now but it won't be never. I won't say have faith, keep positive etc as I think if that was the answer we all would be pregnant! All I can say is keep doing what you are, if anything educate yourself further in how to track ovulation through various methods, get all the necessary tests done so you can start ruling things out. That's what I've done and I'm doing. I'm focusing my energy on what I can do to make it happen, so using my time to research ovulation rather than meditate for example because if my issue is getting my ovulation dates wrong, it won't matter how much I'm positive or meditate, I won't get pregnant! If my issue is ovulation in general then I need to look at what can be done whether that's with the help of docs or myself I.e weight management...

Cry if you have to, hell even scream and shout, let it all out and accept what you are feeling. Most of all don't stay silent, be truthful in how you are feeling. We are here, I am here.

I hope to not have offended you or anyone with what I've said, but I just think sometimes it's the people who are going through the exact same thing knows exactly how it feels! That includes wanting to scream at your own people for saying 'be positive'!

Sending you love, and virtual hugs xxx

@Tophy124 I'm visiting my folks at the end of this month and was due to tell them
The happy news as I would have been just over 12 weeks pregnant, now I've got nothing to tell them! Im still going to visit but yeah... I hear you 100%

Im glad I didn't tell anyone early though as it means I didn't have to tell anyone bad news a few weeks later, but everyone is different.... as you said I'm not going to be doing any announcing on social media, those close enough will know and everyone else can find out when baby is eventually born! 😂

@pm24 that's good advice!

Thanks! After a MC and 100s of negative tests your mind tends to sway away from the obvious reactions xx

Haven't come on yet. If I don't I'll test in the morning x

@pm24 after having just had a MC myself I'm trying so hard not to tar everything with the 'positive test doesn't mean take home baby' brush... 🙈 it's very difficult though

I know if I get that bfp again it'll probably be very different, you lose the joy a little bit...

@Emmamoo89 everything crossed for you! 🤞✨✨

Good luck!

Thank you 😊 x

Thank you 😊 x

Know exactly how you feel. Hope ya okay ❤ @Tophy124

100% I think every twinge will have me anxious and let's not even think about what reaction spotting will have!

I think even once you get past the early stages, the rest of pregnancy will feel scary.

Just makes you think what we have to go through! Rollercoaster of emotions! But I guess having platforms like this makes it a little easier as we can share our joys and pains with no judgments! xxx

Thank you everyone!! And good luck to those testing soon xx

Good morning ladies💐

How are you all today?

I'm 7DPO today and I feel so negative already😂😂 I'm also super grumpy and feel like PMS is kicking in so I don't have high hopes for this month lol.

Sorry to hear that a few of you have had a difficult few days, sending you all a big hug❤️

morning @KIWI2023 , fine here, had a bad headache yest which is still lingering today, went in to the office so that'll keep me busy! I also feel a bit sicky today but likely just from the sore head! 4DPO here

I'm so tired as well... i'm also super grumpy but that could well be PMS as well! haha!

Hope everyone is doing good 😁

Morning all, 9DPO here. Still really gassy and had a lot of twinges mainly on the right side. Some burning pain in that area last sort of 48 hours. Had crazy rage on Sunday not sure if that's relevant.

Will be taking a test tomorrow at 10DPO as going for progesterone bloods and wondering whether to add on some other fertility ones while I'm there (private appointment as can't get NHS one on the right day).

Feel like this month we did as much as we possibly could buy not feeling very hopeful x

This is what I got. Only 12dpo. Will test again tomorrow x

i feel like i can see a shadow there @Emmamoo89 how's it looking in person??

5dpo and cramps this morning that took my breath away... trying very hard not to get my hopes up as we are due to our first fertility appointment next week as ttc for a year and a half now with one MC.

@Emmamoo89 I also think I see a shadow x

Looks more noticeable in person. I never get dark till after 14dpo on easy@home tests x

@Emmamoo89 yeah always looks darker in person, i'm the same, using easy @ home as well and usually testing from 14DPO as i want to be sure there's a line 😂

@Emmamoo89 oh let us know what your next test is like!

I'm 11dpo today, no symptoms. Due to test tomorrow according to pre mom app. Period is supposedly due Sunday however as this my first cycle having been on contraception for many years I'm not convinced it will be on time. Feeling very unpregnant 🤣Time will tell!
