Thread 8, TTC #1. Change my FW one more time Ovia, I dare you! TMI Warning throughout.

Yesterday evening I started to feel a dull pain in my lower left abdomen. It lasted well into the night but now is almost entirely gone again. It felt like a lot of pressure and though I say 'dull pain' I mean dull as in not sharp - but still painful. Yesterday was day 10/11dpo. I've had that type of pain before but never for such a long period of time. Any ideas what it could have been?

Ooo this is an interesting read on the accuracy of HPT... also says test collected urine within 15 minutes..

Sorry to hear you're still ill banana

Kathrino sorry! It was a post which won't make sense until you go to buy them. But hopefully then you might think "Wait. These are pockets. Impy said pockets = wee all over baby clothes. What else do they have?"

Have a look at The Nappy Lady for an intro and ask anything you want. I've done tons of research

Haha banana now we're even for my 'go look for the new thread... oh wait this IS the new thread' 😉😂😁

I didn't understand a single word of your post about nappies Imp...I have so much to learn.

Day 3 of mild but constant cramping. Not enough to need painkillers but getting a bit annoying now especially as AF isn't due, at the earliest, for at least a week!

Duh.. just seeing your post on it now choc.

Morning all! Choc what's the the hcg multiplier? Intrigued.

Not well again today that's three days off work. The guilt totally weighing me down. :(
I'm in bed hot water bottle and aching all over.

confused nope because you could have only just implanted (or be about to implant today) and it will take 2 to 3 days for your HCG to double enough.

Non pregnant woman have a HCG range of between 0-5. So let's say your HCG is normally 3...

Then you implant on the 9th day after O, the most common day.

Hcg doubles every 48-72 hrs. Therefore your hcg levels would look like this

9dpo: 3miu
11dpo: 6miu
13dpo: 12 miu
15dpo: 24miu

And depending on the test you take will depend on what shows.

Not to mention 1) your hcg may normally be lower than 3miu and 2) you can implant up to 12 Days after ovulation

So you're not out until you're out!

Yeah choc I remember, but I guess my silly brain thinks that if I was going to be bfp... Then there would at least be SOMETHING to see two days before af? No? The Test was 20 miu.

Choc do I remember it saying that some people don't even get a positive til days after AF?

Ladies... you remember the HCG multiplier info I posted right?

Which explains why some people get a BFP sooner than others in their cycle etc?

If anyone wants me to post it again, just shout xx

I caved today and did a test, of course it's bfn. I'm glad I did it now. I'm not hoping anymore so won't have the crushing disappointment that we all know and love sniff

Still no sign of af though, and I haven't had any spots which is odd for me, I normally get at least one.

Thanks Planeteer

Ha Stark, cloth nappies will take all your pennies if you will allow a word from the wise someone who's used them... When I packed up all the baby junk after DS2 I got rid of basically all the pretty ones e.g. pockets/all-one-ones. They look great, but they are often not as reliable. Ready for this one I have fitted, sized nappies with wraps (I do have fun wraps), up to size 2. And then I need to check what I have for size 2, as I don't have enough, but what I do have, and what I'll get, are mainly fitteds. I was changing clothes too often with pockets. I do have a couple of Close Pop-ins, they're good, I might get more of those. And for much bigger (like, approaching potty training) I have some flips as they're slim.

I foolishly got suckered with DS2 and sold my size 2 fitteds for pretty pockets. Really regretted it!

Get some frugi baby vests though. They fit over cloth brilliantly. I'm going to buy loads more on sale

Same for me pyxie her nose would be stuck straight in! But she'd have great advice and she loved kids.

I also told him about the 20% thing and he was shocked!!

Really odd isn't it impy !!

Definitely the faintest of lines but if I hadn't had the FRER BFP I'd be asking myself if the cheapie was an evap or not!

Hugs impy, hope your body decides to play ball soon. All crossable things crossed for a bfp with a pet!

I was out for a friend's engagement drinks last night and had more prosecco than I should have. Not loads, but bloody hell I feel rough this morning! Urrrgh!

Miley I'm with you in the 'not buying a thing until bfp'. Are you abstaining from Pinterest boards as well? I worry they might shake my willpower, haha.

Sorry to hear about your mum feefs It'll be 15 years for me in March too. I'd love to know what she'd think about all of this. She didn't really have boundaries so I'm sure she'd be asking me all sorts!

Well I'm 14dpo today, AF due tomorrow. Had sore boobs yesterday but they seem alright today. Maybe feeling a little crampy but it could all be in my head

Choc that's crazy with the cheapies! They're meant to be super sensitive!

Sorry to Miley and Miw who are also feeling AF-like. Fx it's not that ladies

Morning

So, still spotting, still got cramps. Now on day 2 of possible AF predicted days and day 31 of cycle! Having been told by ff that my average is 29.5. Refuse to do a PET until I'm properly late, but cheapie was bfn yesterday, and I flushed my fmu 4 hours ago (I've had a crap night). My womb is really toying with me, and I'm pissed off!

I'm going to sit over here and sulk.

miley I feel AF like the only difference is my boobs look slightly different
maybe .
choc sorry you didn't sleep so well. You must be sooo sooo happy.

Also ladies... just throwing it out there... you know how strong that FRER BFP I got yesterday was?

OH has always doubted the cheapie tests... so said he bets if I did one today it wouldn't come up... just did a cheapie and low and behold there is the faintest of lines...

Cheeky beggars, no way are they as sensitive as stated. If you want answers... pee on the cheapies until AF due then get yourself a FRER!!

Morning ladies, barely slept last night and have a pounding headache but I'm sure it'll clear with a few glasses of water. Don't feel as bad this morning thank goodness, no vomiting or back door blowouts 😂😂

My best friend is AMAZING at designing and making things with fabric on her sewing machine. She sent me all these ideas last night because she was buying 12 metres of fabric and needed to know which pattern I preferred... lunatic hahaha

Also starky I've seen an oak set of cot, changing table/drawers and wardrobe from mother care I need want. We're probably doing the same re magnolia walls and we have a brand new cream carpet in our smallest bedroom nursery. I'm not buying anything at all until I get that second line and that is literally the only willpower I have.

Feefs I love that theory The time of the day? Is baby making only done in the am? Before you have a meal?
Starky if I talk to DP about furniture and that he would have a heart attck! I have to ease hime slowly into this. He does not like change!
