@SnookyPook I'm a bit unsure about going on the pill as we said we just be if it happens it happens but I'd rather not put up with the pain! Going on the patch next week.

I haven't done a hcg test for just over a week but don't have the money to get one right now, which is why we have stopped Ttc and money will be a bit tight until after the wedding. The doctor said it's most likely just a hormone change but this hasn't happened at all the whole year we've been Ttc so it's a bit weird! If it's still positive tomorrow I'll have to get the cheapest one from the shop! Only have £35 to last until next Friday😩 and I now have to get buses/trains to work which is slowly adding up! Once we move I can walk but that won't be for another month or two😩🀍x

@justanothermummma I think about 3dpo (but that’s a guess mostly). I got a lh surge on Sunday morning so I’m guessing it was Monday by past experience. Where abouts are you? I have very little hope this cycle as I had such an intense and stressful week last week so just can’t see how it may happen, and trying to forget when my period is due really.

@CAGH03 Thats rubbish about money. I guess you could hold on a few days until you get paid. Sometimes bodies just do weird things to confuse you!

CAGH03 · 20/07/2023 07:56

@Annapolis35 it's so strange! It's still high this morning but not quite dark enough to be positive. It's so weird!
In two weeks we will be fine as my partner has got a new job and he gets his months wages every two weeks, so his wages have doubled. Once he starts getting paid and I've got a month behind me at my new job we will be absolutely fine and able to get a bigger place, it's just going to be tight until next Friday😫x

justanothermummma · 20/07/2023 18:26

@Annapolis35 I have no idea, my period was much shorter this month after coil removal and my Flo app is so confused! I have no ovulation strips so we're just winging it. At least it will be less stressful? Well I hope so!

Bubblesandtroubles · 20/07/2023 21:23

Hi all, I'm still all about the symptoms over here. Husband talked me into doing a test this evening. It was, surprise surprise, negative! πŸ™„ Don't know why I even did it tbh!
App says AF Sunday but I think more like Tuesday. So hoping the BFN is not definitive and still hope yet ... Xx

Annapolis35 · 20/07/2023 21:37

@Bubblesandtroubles still time for you! A bfn is always disappointing though.

@justanothermummma its good to be stress free as long as you can and let your cycle regulate. Hopefully your body gives you signs though! I have started getting usual heavy feeling cramps which would be far too early at 3dpo so think I’ve got the ovulation date wrong. Oh well! Will see how it pans out. I think I’m beyond the point of stressing about that anymore.

Sealover123 · 22/07/2023 19:06

I won't be trying this month, feeling really run down and everything DH does is annoying me right now. Hopefully feel better next month!

Bubblesandtroubles · 22/07/2023 19:24

@Sealover123 hope you're feeling more yourself soon. Maybe a month off and coming back refreshed will do the trick for you 🀞🀞
Im debating whether to test tomorrow or hold off for another couple of days (or arrival of AF- whichever comes first!) No tests in the house though so would involve nipping out to have one ready for FMU tomorrow. Xx

justanothermummma · 22/07/2023 20:07

@Bubblesandtroubles Wait a few more days, you never know! Keeping everything crossed.

@Annapolis35 Aiming for stress free 100%, although easier said than done! I have no clue how long my body will take to settle after the coil, I'm hoping with it being a copper one it won't be too dramatic, but we'll see! It's so different for everyone so it's hard to navigate too, because nothing is that comparable! We're trying to DTD every other day, tonight is the night but it was DD1's birthday party today and I am EXHAUSTED πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­. Worth it though, her face when she saw the party was priceless and she had a fantastic time bless her! But my god it was an effort. However, even a room of screaming kids and balloons bursting every 5 seconds hasn't put me off trying for baby no 3, so I'll take that as a win!

Sealover123 · 22/07/2023 20:44

@Bubblesandtroubles how many days DPO are you now? xx

Annapolis35 · 23/07/2023 08:20

@justanothermummma yeah bodies react so differently for each person coming off contraception. I think it took me a couple of months to regulate after being on the pill for so many years. Every other day is a really good plan! Stress free and should cover whenever an egg pops out! Oh wow, you are a trooper and I’m glad your daughter loved it. She must have been so excited.

I am just trying to ignore my body haha. I just have the usual pre-AF cramps so I don’t think anything is going on. I have zero hopes.

Bubblesandtroubles · 23/07/2023 08:34

@Sealover123 I think 11/12 but not sure as messed upy strips and missed a peak.
I didn't go out and buy any tests last night. No sign of AF actual arrival yet this morning. Kind of feel like it could any minute though so still a waiting game...
Good luck to anyone else testing today! Xx

Annapolis35 · 23/07/2023 08:35

Good luck @Bubblesandtroubles let us know how you get on!

DuchessofSuffolk · 23/07/2023 17:21

Period in 8 days… no signs of anything. Sooo broody. Keep watching all these insta reels of day in the life of may leave and thinking when will this be meeee….

obv I on ow they are massively romanticised but still

Favofit · 23/07/2023 17:25

Fingers crossed @DuchessofSuffolk , it could still happen ❀️

Bubblesandtroubles · 23/07/2023 19:45

Well no AF (since I last checked about half an hour ago at least) but a negative boots test earlier. So my not a line line from Friday was more than likely just not a line. Ive felt dreadful all day like I'm about to explode AF is so close.l- so bloated, crampy and emotional. Almost willing it to arrive to get it over with. But then panicking that my willing will somehow cause it to arrive when I otherwise would have been pregnant. Cause, you know conception is as easy as wishing one way or the other πŸ™„.
My test was not FMU- so have partially clutched at that straw that I'm not totally out yet. Don't think I'm doing myself any favours though. I'm driving myself insane here 😒 xx

Bubblesandtroubles · 23/07/2023 19:46

@DuchessofSuffolk I reeeallly hope it will be you soon. πŸ’•πŸ’•

Favofit · 23/07/2023 20:46

@Bubblesandtroubles there's still a chance ❀️

justanothermummma · 23/07/2023 22:26

@Annapolis35 I am definitely paying for being a trooper now! Haha!

I'm all over the place mentally and physically - life is wild! I'm exhausted/confused/settled/broody and super happy all at the same time πŸ˜‚. I really want that BFP but I don't want to do it under pressure! I guess it will happen when it is meant to. I just hope I have at least a little bump by Christmas!

Awww @DuchessofSuffolk I agree, I made a montage of my DD1 yesterday, tears were shed πŸ˜‚ but those moments aren't without stress, so 100% romanticised.

Keep at it @Bubblesandtroubles - but know, no matter what, we'll support you!

How is it all going @LeopardLover ?

LeopardLover · 24/07/2023 07:53

Good morning everyone!!

@justanothermummma Thanks for the tag πŸ₯° Sounds like you've got a great attitude! πŸ’œ I also gave myself a Christmas deadline (although I was aware it could take years) because I bought a maternity pyjama nightie to go with our matching family PJs πŸ˜… I'm doing OK, thank you. Lots of nausea... 24/7. Way more intense symptoms this time, I feel 6 months pregnant not 7 weeks πŸ™ˆ just hoping everything is OK and looking forward to getting scanned at 12 weeks!

@Bubblesandtroubles Any update? I didn't get proper BFP until 13DPO (squinter at 12DPO) but last time I didn't test until 18DPO. You aren't out just yet πŸ™πŸ»

@DuchessofSuffolk I used to do this too πŸ₯Ή I'd mostly watch videos of huge families (no idea why - I don't want one πŸ˜…). It's definitely romanticised and normally I tut at them these days but it is a truly magical experience too, although a freakin hard one ("parenting is only hard for good parents"). I hope you get your BFP soon πŸ™πŸ»

@Annapolis35 How many DPO are you? 😊

@Sealover123 I hope you're doing okay. A month off to reset sounds like a great idea tbh. πŸ’œ

@Favofit How are you doing?

Favofit · 24/07/2023 09:00

@LeopardLover thank you, hope you're 12 week scan goes well ❀️

I'm 11DPO predicted with AF due on this Thursday. I haven't tested as feel no symptoms at all. Also didn't track because of the fertility investigations so have no clue where we are this month.

SnookyPook · 24/07/2023 09:23

@Bubblesandtroubles I so relate... Last cycle I knew AF was coming but was still clinging to every possible shred of hope just in case. It was the most emotional and tough tww I've had tbh and I was quite relieved when AF showed (although still gutted and also wondering if it could be a really heavy implantation bleed for the first few hours πŸ™„) Currently awaiting ovulation before the madness begins again and again, going to try so hard not to get too invested... πŸ‘€

Bubblesandtroubles · 24/07/2023 10:06

A negative test this morning. (Faint line but after the time was up so an evap). Still no AF when I've just been to check. Utterly fed up πŸ˜” xx

Vic231 · 24/07/2023 10:39

Hi everyone, I'm back from my last minute trip to Amsterdam and we had a wonderful time, however whilst we were away we found out our gorgeous dog has a Sarcoma that needs operating on tomorrow 😭and then I got struck down with D&V the day after we got home, so spent the whole weekend feeling rotten, which then sent me into a panic in case I was pregnant, for then AF to appear this morning.

So, I'm feeling pretty flat today. Grumpy and emotional. I'm hoping optomistic me will be back tomorrow but at the moment it feels like time is running away and the months are rushing by when I (like all of us!) just want to pregnant x

justanothermummma · 24/07/2023 18:18

Aww @LeopardLover - have the sea bands helped?

@Bubblesandtroubles will you try again tomorrow?

@Vic231 Awww bless you! Sorry to hear about your dog and you being poorly. AF is just AWFUL. Why we get punished monthly is beyond me! Lots of love x
