Thank you @Vic231 the relief is real!

CAGH03 · 22/08/2023 22:45

@justanothermummma that's completely understandable! That's the same reason we were going to stop last month, but luckily I managed to get a new job🥳 7dpo today, been cramping, very sore boobs and usually by this time of the month, this is going to be to much info, but during and after sex hurts, as my cervix feels really low and hard. It didn't hurt at all tonight, but had very slight cramps afterwards. Been very nauseous today too and very tired. Not convinced this is our month, but I'm so excited for when it does happen!🤍🤍xxxxx

i started spotting right on time so AF will be coming in a couple of days and my RHR has nose dived. Oh well! On we go… I am quite relieved by that post yesterday and just hoping the more we try the better the odds of the right egg and sperm meeting.

good luck @CAGH03 all promising signs!

CAGH03 · 23/08/2023 21:59

@Annapolis35 I hope so!🤞🏼x

@CAGH03 I'm so happy you found something new! This new job apparently has a generous maternity package, I've previously only ever got SMP so I'm happy to wait and suss things out so I'm eligible for a better package. I suppose it's part of the journey! When it's meant to be for us, it will be and I'm already excited! 😂 x

justanothermummma · 23/08/2023 22:23

@Annapolis35 that was a great post, I really like the logic behind betting on red or black. It really is a miracle! I mean to DTD on the right day, at the right time, with the right egg and the right sperm that were the perfect healthy match.. it's just mind blowing! And before you know it you've got a bowling ball for a belly, you're tired, craving ice and then 5 years later you have a DC that answers back, is learning to read and tell time and uses bigger words every day. It's mental and wonderful.

I sometimes feel 'accidental' babies (my first DD was one, I was on the pill!) really are miracles, against all odds and literal lack of trying, they fought to be here and they're a blessing!

I honestly wish anyone trying all the luck I can give virtually. I was completely unprepared when we started ttc for DD2, in my mind it was so simple and yet the waiting was crippling and confusing. Considering so many of us try month on month with no success, it's crazy to comprehend that people have babies at all! When you read into it, it's so complex and yet babies appear all the time, that one night you had a glass on wine extra, or those antibiotics that meant your pill didn't work and BAM a baby. And yet... you have those doing everything right, eating well, tracking cycles, going through the trials of IVF. It really is luck, it's as unfair as it is fair. I just hope and wish you all get the outcome you desire. I'm lucky with my 2 DDs and if that's all I have, it's more than enough, but the hope still remains, it just depends on red or black as to whether we have another. What a mindfuck!

CAGH03 · 24/08/2023 11:23

Good morning girls, how's everyone feeling?
Been getting period like cramps over night which has felt very confusing as my period isn't due for another 6 days 🤷🏼‍♀️ and my boobs are so full and sore, it hurts to wear a bra 🥲 my bbt is still sitting at 37c so guess I'll just see if it drops or not🤷🏼‍♀️ really wanting to test and feel like every morning I'm wasting fmu🤣 but I know it's too early to test at 8dpo and I promised myself I wouldn't test until my period was a day late this month but all I can think about is testing 🥹xx

@Favofit Thankyou❤️
Having such a bad day already🤣 the council were strimming public areas and have shattered my front door window, it's started raining heavily just as I'm waiting for the bus to the train station and now my train has been cancelled so I'm going to be late for work🥲x

Oh dear what a day ! I hope things improved and you're okay ❤️

CAGH03 · 26/08/2023 07:41

So I caved and bought a test🥲 I haven't taken it yet and I'm only 10dpo but going to a family party tonight where everyone will be drinking a lot. My FH also broke his foot last night 🥲 he's the only one out of both of us with a drivers license 🥲 so not only will I be late to work as all trains are cancelled, I also need to bribe my twin brother to give him a lift to the party at my mums house and then my card just declined twice in the bus. I just have really pissed someone off to have this much bad luck😩
How is everyone else feeling? Anyone now in the tww or coming to the end? ❤️x

@Favofit I've never seen a line like this before. Going to retest Monday 🤞🏼x

@CAGH03 I see it three!! Keeping everything crossed for another beautiful line for you on Monday!
Have you told your fiance? 💕💕

Annapolis35 · 26/08/2023 09:04

Omg!! @CAGH03 thats definitely a line!! Keep us updated and I’m excited for you!

I am into a new cycle now so keeping the positive vibes

CAGH03 · 26/08/2023 09:06

@Favofit @Annapolis35 @Bubblesandtroubles I really hope it's true! Came up before the 1 minute mark. I haven't told my fiancé yet. I'm just worried as the wedding is ten months away and a baby takes 9 so we might have to move the wedding, but for a very good reason🥰 would a digital show it if I do a test Monday? Period is due Tuesday I think x

@CAGH03 When I was pregnant with mmc I did a digital at 14dpo and it came up 2-3 weeks immediately so I would think it will work then. So happy for you!

Ill definitely do one Monday then! I'm just so worried it's a false + or an indent, although it was before one minute it appeared! Going to wait to tell my FH until I have that digital x

OP posts:
CAGH03 · 26/08/2023 10:29

I don't know how I'll hide it until Monday tho as I have a family event tonight, and everyone will notice I'm not smoking or drinking. Surely one or two wouldn't be too bad? But if my FH knew, he wouldn't let me smoke or drink at all so I'm panicking 😨x

OP posts:
Annapolis35 · 26/08/2023 13:29

I don’t think smoking is a good idea at all x

Vic231 · 26/08/2023 15:02

@CAGH03 oh my gosh! I see it too! How long have you been trying? It's been a while hasn't! I have my fingers crossed that it will be your time - at last!

Please don't drink or smoke, it definitely won't be worth it! Perhaps you could say you've been ill and it's made cigarettes taste funny? I've never smoked before so I don't know if that's a thing 😂 x

CAGH03 · 27/08/2023 00:51

I ended up telling my partner as he noticed I'm not drinking or smoking. Took another test around 4 pm and definitely still looks like a line! @Vic231 we've been trying 13 months this month! x
