This is for ladies in there TWW that would like to chat and have a little support!

[41trying]

Evening ladies
10dp3dt today and I feel like AF is arriving. Slight headache today and normally a day or 2 before AF arrive bowel motion come on quickly, which it has today. Thursday OTD still feels so far away TBF. I will probably test Tuesday jist to see, then take clinic home test on Thursday

[UnicornPuff]

AF would be due for me today and I am getting all the symptoms that if I wasnt taking progesterone it would be here as normal. I would love to say that I havnt but I have been obsessively googling and lots of people say it is a good sign but I think the timing is a bad sign for me.

@HJF84 the cap is tough to get off, I keep feeling like I am going to break it!
It is definitely not as easy as the stims meds is it. I find it hard to get it through my skin, but maybe that's because of all the injections making it tougher 🤷🏼‍♀️. I did watch a really good video on how to inject it and it says push the needle all the way in and then push the plunger in as slowly as you possibly can. I do think it makes it much less stingy!

@Wimbledon1 31st is my test date too! The days are still going very slowly for me though 🙈

@BambiOnIce80 a plan of action for the next one is a good strategy! It takes the pressure off this cycle a bit. I hope you enjoyed your meal out.

Thanks @BambiOnIce80 for the response. Clearblue kit says it can test upto 10 so i guess should work for 11dp5dt

[MissHoney85]

Have been suffering with a headache since yesterday evening, it woke me up at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep for ages. Trying not to read anything into it as could literally be anything. We are about to be visited by some friends and their new baby, just what I need... 😬

[BambiOnIce80]

I've tried (and failed! 😣) to stop reading into any symptoms @MissHoney85 - I hope you have better luck with it than me! 😂 Good luck with your visitors 🍀

Sounds like you're all set then @duckhouse 👍🤞

How are you feeling today @Rovera12?x

I hope you had a lovely birthday @Littlelot and had plenty of cake?🎂 😋 Good luck with your 3WW for the scan 🍀🍀🍀

We had a lovely meal out, thanks @FlapJackered 😊 The new GF was lovely and chatty, the food was excellent, but I messed up a bit with my choice of dress 🙄 Decided to go for my favourite tartan, super-fitted little number (Burns night and all that) and felt great in it when we were on our way there... and then I started eating food 🤢 I was soooo bloated after about the third course that I started feeling really unwell and had some fairly impressive stomach pain bacause my bloat had nowhere to go! Could hardly sit there burping and farting in the middle of a restaurant! 🥺

And now I'm feeling really flat this morning and struggling to get out of bed 😔 My little right-sided dull ache has gone AWOL and I noticed yesterday (and this bit is definitely TMI, so soz! 😳) that the excess gunk from the pessaries has got a very slight yellow tinge to it whereas it was starkly white before - I'm thinking it's a sign that AF is around the corner (so feeling very much like how @41trying @UnicornPuff feel 💐). My CM does tend to have a bit of a yellow tinge post ov and before AF, so I'm struggling to feel positive about Tuesday right now (which feels a million bloody years away! 😩).

I hope you're all having a less wallowing, self-pitying Sunday than me now! 😏 Need to give myself a mental slap, drag myself out of bed and do something productive! 💪

[41trying]

I fell the same today @Bambi0nlce80, and also have had an head ache.
Someone I know who has a 6 month old as said she is pregnant and looking at abortion as she dont think she will cope, saying all this while we are trying our best to get pregnant wasnt something I wanted to hear this morning.
I hope everyone else is feeling ok. Anyone testing tomorrow?

[MissHoney85]

Ugh I have started some brown spotting. V light so far but my periods normally start with a few days of this. I guess that's what the headaches are all about then. 😔

[FlapJackered]

I have just googled 'no symptoms, sign of pregnancy?' Someone take my phone and hit me with it! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@BambiOnIce80 😂🙈 the bloat is real! I swear I have moments of looking like I am 9 months pregnant already!

[Sarab2020]

I’ve had a dull ache for the last few days now, trying not to feel too down. I have PCOS so AF usually surprises me as other than craving chocolate don’t have any regular symptoms. My OH is distracting me by letting us clear out the kitchen 😊

[UnicornPuff]

I have had some strange discharge (TMI) like EWCM consistency but discoloured off white rather than clear. I dont really know what to make of it and google isn't helping! Odd question but is that similar to you @BambiOnIce80

@FlapJackered and @Wimbledon1 I am OTD 31st too. It literally can't come soon enough! I am driving myself insane so I dont know how my DH is coping with me!

[MissHoney85]

My spotting hasn't gone any further so far, touch wood. It's only been a tiny bit and really light. I'm now really struggling to resist the urge to test early tomorrow, having not really considered it before. Just feel I need to put my mind at rest I think. I will be 9dp5dt and have bought an early response test. My OH thinks it's a bad idea and I kind of see his point but still...

[UnicornPuff]

@MissHoney85 I think spotting can be a good sign (along with everything else it can also mean nothing 🤔) I want to test early but I am too scared! When is your actual OTD?

[MissHoney85]

OTD is Wednesday. I feel like this spotting is too late for it to be a good thing, and my periods normally start with a few days of this. There's still that annoying bit of hope though. I guess as my OH points out, a negative test tomorrow won't get rid of that hope as I'll know it could just be too early.

[UnicornPuff]

@misshoney85 dont give up hope. Everything I google pretty much says that everyone has had something at some point that ended in a Bfp. However I am still googling and asking about everything even slightly different 🤣😂 let us know if you do decide to test early tomorrow.

[BambiOnIce80]

I strongly believe in a woman's right to choose @41trying , but no - that is absolutely not what you needed to hear this morning 😔 I hope the headache is just a headache and not a sign of AF 🤞

Put the phone in airplane mode @FlapJackered and step away! 😂

I hope you have a very tidy kitchen now @Sarab2020 ?! 😄 Did the distraction work?

@MissHoney85 I think my logic would be along the same lines as your OH's - do you think you could hold off until Tuesday when you're 10dp5dt and less likely to get a false BFN? I'm keeping everything crossed that your spotting is a good sign rather than a bad one 🤞🤞🤞

Possibly similar to me on the CM front @UnicornPuff 🤔 It's really tricky to tell exactly with the pessary gunk muddying the water, so to speak! 😂 I did notice that it was quite watery rather than EWCM last night, but no idea what any of it means, if anything 🤷‍♀️

My little right-sided dull ache has put in an appearance tonight, I'm knackered and I'm feeling borderline nauseous... I'm beginning to think it's all in my head though or just symptoms caused by the pessaries/AF being on it's way 🤔 Thank god I'm at work tomorrow for the distraction alone! 🤯 Can't wait for Tuesday to get here so that I can stop doing my own head in, one way or another 🔮

[Bestofyou1982]

So I was feeling bit fed up. Cramping and spotting was playing on my mind. So this morning I decided to take a test (didn't even think I had any in house but saw it when getting out medication). Transfer was only on Tuesday but I'm pretty sure that the test was positive. Two lines. One fainter than the test but two lines. I've never seen a positive test before and nearly binned it without properly looking. Even if it doesn't stay positive at least I've seen one and it's made me feel more positive for the wait ahead. Another step closer or at least a little peace of mind for today. Wasn't sure if this would put those with cramping and spotting at ease at all.
Good luck in days ahead ladies.

[BambiOnIce80]

See @Bestofyou1982!! 🤩 I told you it could be implantation bleeding! 😄 Fantastic news! 😊 Will you test again in a couple of days?x

... I really need to resist the temptation to reach for the HPT's tomorrow morning when I'm 8dp5dt now that you've got yourself an early BFP! 😉

[Bestofyou1982]

@BambiOnIce80 I just figured if it's negative it's very early but if it's not it may put my mind at rest. Which it has done. This is closest we've ever gotten. So whatever happens next it's a mini success for us.
I'll probably test mid week and then on Sunday as have to let clinic know a week tomorrow.

[Viletta]

@Littlelot and @Bestofyou1982 congratulations on your bfp!! Amazing news!

I read that early bfp is a good predictor of successful pregnancy. I am going to be 10dp6dt on Monday.. but too scared to test. Otd is on Friday but I have planned to test on Wednesday, I’m sure the result would be quite accurate. I had cramping from the day after ET and till AF was due yesterday when the cramping stopped. I hope it’s a good sign. It’s my 4th transfer. I read it takes some couples 10 cycles and mentally trying to prepare myself for a long run. I had some urgent and horrendous emergency to deal with all last week right after transfer and that kept me very stressed but very busy in a way that I forgot about my FET altogether. I calmed down reading that stress doesn’t affect the result. Good luck to everyone in this thread and lots of babydust!

[Viletta]

Also my cervix is quite low which I think is a bad sign and I poked it when putting pessaries in. I had yellow pessaries discharges the day after, I think my cervix bled a bit (sorry for tmi). I read it’s a common side effect of progesterone. Also pretty sure I’m going to have a thrush after the pessaries, they mess up with my flora.. also sore boobs. All of which can be side effects from all the hormones I am taking. Such a mind bender! One minute I think this might be my lucky cycle, the next I am convinced it failed again..

[FlapJackered]

Tentative congratulations @Bestofyou1982 !!very exciting!!

Urgh feeling a bit negative today, I have got absolutely no symptoms and just have a really strong feeling it hasn't worked. I wish I could just fast forward to Friday to put myself out of my misery.

[HJF84]

Congratulations @bestofyou1982. Such lovely news to wake up to! Let's hope for some more BFP news as the week goes on.

I slept really badly last night, and I'm back to work today - typical! Anyone else get the night sweats? I woke up several times in the night thinking the heating was on. I had this last time and I think I remember reading it was the oestrogen.

[MissHoney85]

That's great news @Bestofyou1982! 🎉🎉🎉

I decided not to test this morning after all. Thought I would save myself from having to deal with any more negative tests than I need to. A bit more of the brown stuff this morning so feeling pretty down.

[BambiOnIce80]

I decided not to test either @MissHoney85 for exactly the same reason - I've seen enough BFN's to last me a lifetime! 😏 Do you think you'll manage to hold off testing until Wednesday?

@HJF84 I am very much with you on the night sweats! 🥵 I've been having them for about the last 5 nights. In my case I'm taking it as a sign that AF is probably on her way because I get them about 2 days before under normal circumstances (but think the pessaries are keeping her away for now). In your case I'm hoping it's a good sign 🤞

I've had the slightly yellow tinge to the pessary gunk too @Viletta. I also got flipping thrush the night before EC, but thankfully it didn't stop it from going ahead 😪 I'll probably be joining you on getting it again soon because of the pessaries! 🙄

I was feeling like that too early on @FlapJackered (who am I kidding? I still am! 😩), but the symptoms have increased over the days... just not sure they're good signs or bad ones 🤷‍♀️
