@thejollytrolleydolly yeah our bodies have a mind of their own!

MrsB262 · 25/07/2023 12:57

@Bubblesandtroubles good luck for next month and enjoy that wine this week (for me too!)

@thejollytrolleydolly you're not out yet, I've still got my fingers crossed for you and @Hotmalibu94

@CatiaR you're symptoms sound positive! 😁

Good luck to everyone still waiting, it's hard to keep up with who's commented as skipped a day yesterday!
Today I think should be AF and this is my test this morning, still not really any symptoms though. I've got bad skin so I'm hoping that's a good sign as with miscarriage my skin was glowing! It's annoying the life out of me that I can't remember when my sickness started with my healthy pregnancies.

Join me on the TWW :)

@MrsB262 congrats!! those look very much like a BFP!! the lines are very strong

so chuffed for you, hope this one is a sticky one :)

MrsB262 · 25/07/2023 13:19

@CatiaR thank you! I'm trying to not get too excited but ridiculously I've already pictured a baby with names 😭
We are both hoping for another little girl (obviously either is perfect) but we kept everything from our little girl so it would be so much easier! Like how ridiculous that I'm even thinking about gender when we have so far to go and anything could happen at any moment!

fleur89 · 25/07/2023 13:36

Such strong lines @MrsB262 ! We probably have a similar due date. Fingers crossed all progresses well for us and others on this thread 💗

hannahgayle · 25/07/2023 13:38

Is anyone else having some trouble with acne? My face broke out almost overnight! Any tips on how to treat pregnancy acne would be appreciated!

CatiaR · 25/07/2023 13:55

@MrsB262 aww that would be fab for you! fingers crossed that all goes well for you :)

Sminbags · 25/07/2023 14:01

Hello! I’d love to join if possible :)
2nd cycle after a chemical last month.
currently 9dpo. Terrible migraine the last 3 days, the same I used to get when I was on the pill 10+ years ago, never had it since until this week. I’ve been absolutely exhausted, sleeping in and napping in the day which is not like me at all.
I also had a horrible twinge on my right ovary area that stopped me in my tracks yesterday evening.
I’m 5 days away my period, I don’t usually get any pre period symptoms until the day I start.
Today I’ve got mild cramps, and that odd vibration feeling you get on the first day of your period?
fingers crossed for everybody!

MrsB262 · 25/07/2023 14:07

@fleur89 between 31st March- 2nd April is what I'm getting according to different apps! Is that similar to you?

@hannahgayle yes I am, it's hormonal for me so nothing helps! I just try to keep my skin clean.

@CatiaR thank you lovely, I hope you join me on this journey!

@Sminbags Welcome! Positive symptoms, fingers crossed for you!

Sminbags · 25/07/2023 14:09

Thank you :) just trying to read through all the comments now, huge congrats to everybody that has gotten their positives and love and luck to everybody waiting for theirs 💖

CatiaR · 25/07/2023 14:12

@MrsB262 Hope so!

@Sminbags Welcome! we're similar in our cycles so fingers crossed you get a BFP! let us know how you get on :)

midnights0 · 25/07/2023 14:25

Unexpectedly in my TWW! I had a MMC at 12 weeks nearly 7 weeks ago, been tracking ovulation for about 2 weeks for it to not get darker (avoiding sex as didn't want to get pregnant so soon after what happened) to assume I wasn't going to ovulate anytime soon, had sex the night before last to do an ovulation test for it to be the darkest it's ever been that morning 🤣 even though we will be extremely happy if I managed to catch, I'd be shocked!!!

Sminbags · 25/07/2023 14:32

Oh good luck!!

Hotmalibu94 · 25/07/2023 14:43

Thank you @MrsB262 and massive congratulations to you! 💕 Hoping you have a sticky bean 🥰

Good luck @Sminbags, those symptoms sound positive!

Haha typical isn't it @midnights0, fingers crossed you do catch and I'm so sorry about your MMC

thejollytrolleydolly · 25/07/2023 16:39

@MrsB262 congratulations!! That's a fantastic positive!!

So I've started spotting today so I'm either coming on AF right on time or I've implanted at 14dpo 😂😂 I reckon it's the former although I still don't have any cramps just backache.

On a positive note I got my promotion so this month isn't so bad after all!! At least if I get pregnant next month I will be pregnant at the same time as my friend having ivf 😊

WHERE THE WINE?! 😂

That’s fantastic news about the promotion, congratulations!

ReginaPhalange12 · 25/07/2023 17:04

1DPO for me! It's feel it's going to be a long tww 

Congratulations on your promotion @thejollytrolleydolly and to all of those with BFP Flowers

CatiaR · 25/07/2023 17:12

@thejollytrolleydolly heyyy congrats! At least you got the promotion 🎉

thejollytrolleydolly · 25/07/2023 17:15

@CatiaR exactly! This month wasn't a total bummer after all! 🙌🏽 I'm annoyed at how many tests I wasted though 😂😂

@ReginaPhalange12 thank you!! ❤️

OP posts:
CatiaR · 25/07/2023 17:56

@thejollytrolleydolly yeah, hope I’m not going the same way but at least I’m only using cheapies (that’s my excuse 🙈, I just can’t wait to know and it’s probably way too early to know)

my boobs are less sore now and apart from feeling more tired than usual and peeing more frequently there’s not much else going on so not too sure it will be this month.

MrsB262 · 25/07/2023 18:15

@thejollytrolleydolly huge congratulations on the promotion!! That's amazing news!

I've spent the afternoon in a&e my son had to have his head glued back together, week ONE of the summer holidays!! 🙃 tried to stay calm and not freak out

thejollytrolleydolly · 25/07/2023 18:26

@CatiaR thank you! Are you still quite early on? If so don't worry about symptoms! Don't forget you only truly get them from when you implant so that could be anytime!

@MrsB262 oh no!! Give them 5 mins and they are already having accidents 🙈 I hope he's ok?!

Thank you so much! I just have to wait for a course date for my promotion and I will be back managing the cabin 😊

No more spotting as of yet... will see what tomorrow brings xx

CatiaR · 25/07/2023 18:36

@thejollytrolleydolly yea it is still early on, AF is only due next Monday and I’m estimating to be 8dpo, not 100% sure as I didn’t test.

we may not get first time lucky and will be fine. You just never know really, we never tried so who knows if we’ll face infertility at all but we can’t think like that!

theres still time and positive signs, my husband will say that I’m definitely hormonal as I was quick snappy at him over the weekend ( i feel bad lol 🙈) I guess I can’t be without food for too long 😂

who knew that this TWW is torture! Clearly not me, I was very nonchalant at first and boy was I wrong ahah

@MrsB262 oh no hope your little one is ok!

thejollytrolleydolly · 25/07/2023 18:41

@CatiaR omg the tww is the worst! I used to dread it every month that I was trying to conceive my daughter because it seemed to last 300 years each time! It was only when I forgot about it that I actually fell pregnant 😂 both times actually. I've never had a BFP whilst obsessing over it but I guess it's only natural when you really want it. I really hope you get it on the first month... it saves a lot of obsessing and disappointment! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 I'll have my fingers and toes crossed for you xx

CatiaR · 25/07/2023 18:55

@thejollytrolleydolly thank you! I’m not totally expecting to be that lucky but I’m sure I’ll be a little disappointed if this is not the month. But yeah still early so we shall see what happens!

hopefully you get your answer soon too if AF comes or not 😊
