Hi julia - the more the merrier!

Ooooooh I think I may treat myself to a digital POAS this weekend

feefs I can defo see lines in both!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh I am in suspenders here!! Hope you HCG continues to rise my lovely!

Yes I have a stash of OPKs to give away - just PM me if you would like me to send them to you.

Ooooh feefs CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! 🎊🎉🎈🎁

I have been told by my clinic to wait for early scan with them next monday before contacting GP.

starky do you feel preggers?

Yay feefs! enjoy it :)

I'm due on today, wish it would hurry up! Did a test two days ago and got a bfn so I'm not wasting anymore hope or money on this cycle! I've ordered pressed and some vits for cycle 4. I'm ready for it! Plus I'm hoping my new exercise regime will help.

So... I thought that if I didnt get pregnant in a few more cycles, we would qualify for NHS treatment
Then I read this and try not to be stressed

That's the magic word!! Congratulations Feef!!

Nice one Feefs!!!!!

Also ( given the pumped up excitement) I rang the midwife booking number and booking my booking in appointment and scan. Do I need to go to the GP as well do you think?

I'm pumped up starky that's the problem gonna have to tell DH off now. I know things can go wrong in life but surely you have to celebrate the good times!!!

Party!! Here's the cake!

Now DH (and me) has to believe it!!!!! Woooo

Feef you can have a pregnancy test party with usssssssss!!! (I'll bring the wine for the non-preggo... You bring the cake)

Yes, starky, sound advice as always

Huge congrats feefs, it felt like we were due a bfp!

I'm not really sure what's going on in my cycle this time. I'd been using opks last few cycles and was consistently getting ovulation on day 18. I stopped using the opks this month, but tried temping for the first time, and from the temperature FF has now changed from saying that i ovulated on day 18 to now saying it was on day 20, and it's also increased my predicted cycle length from 30 to 33 days.

Either way, I'm feeling pretty chilled out about stuff this month. Not really expecting it to happen, realised this morning that I didn't immediately know how many dpo i was (a good sign that i'm not obsessing maybe?!) so went into FF to see and then noticed that it's changed all my dates. Oh well.

No starky you don't sound awful at all, it's all sound advice. The first two cycles for me I was ridiculously carried away and hopeful and the disappointment was awful. Now cycle 4 and I feel much more relaxed about it.

kat guess there's no harm reintroducing the opks? I don't feel like I could not use them now, would feel a bit blind! I think kwick was trying to get rid of some?

Starky thanks for that post, it's just what I needed to hear and makes so much sense!!

I'm currently 13dpo and been getting mild cramps throughout yesterday and now today too. I. Keep checking for AF every time I go to the toilet but so far, nothing. I'm not entirely sure when AF is due as it took my cycle about 3 months to settle and even then, I think it varies between 28-30 days. Last month I had light brown discharge on 11/12/13dpo and then AF proper from 14dpo. A few days of brown discharge is standard for me before AF so I tend to count them as a CD, although not sure if that's correct! Anyway, I'm rambling!! I'm going to just wait it out I think, as with this cramping, I'm sure it'd be a bfn and I don't want the disappointment.

Ni I'm in a similar position to you I think!! I'm cautiously hoping I'm in a position to test in a few days!!

I'm not sure I will be able to wait Kat DH is working late tonight so I might just have a little pregnancy test party myself

Fishy, my DH has never had any problems at all until we started TTC. The first couple of months were fine and most of this last one was, and to be fair he was ill right over my fertile window, so I'm not sure if it was pressure or feeling crap, but we definitely had more problems then than usual. He swears it was just because of feeling rubbish and that he's not stressing out or feeling under pressure to perform but ... well, we'll see in a couple of weeks I guess.

My temps were very Rocky Mountains at the start Pug. Mainly because I didn't have a proper BBT thermometer at first, had to replace it - and then because I pretty much always sleep with my mouth open, which I wish I knew how to stop doing. These days I take my temps vaginally - it's a little warmer down there but at least I get a consistent temperature. Not sure what the 9 fertile days in a row are though!

Sucha I started opk'ing 2 days ago, managed to do one am and one pm both days. No sign of eggo. Last month I think I ovulated cd 14 (today!) so hopefully soon so I can still be in with a chance this month and tend to DH's stress!

That is a bit odd Pug, maybe you're just super fertile this month?

Feef I'm currently CD32 12dpo. Last two cycles I've been temping and had 10dpo then AF the next day so technically it was due yesterday. Low temps again this morning though so not hoping anything!
Hope you get a nice strong pregnant on Thursday!! My OH is cautious about all of this too...I'm sure your DH will get excited when he sees it in writing!

Feeds how on earth could you wait until Thursday??

Feefs I have been taking epo this month!!! Just hoping some of this luck rubs my way!
Julia I have had sore boobs and nausea since I started TTC I think our bodies are playing tricks or we ate just paying more attention to things we normally wouldnt. This is not to burst your bubble, but to help you relax a little and avoid disappointment, because this is not what i did for the first 4 cycles and ended up upset every time. Dont test too soon as Starky says

Ha ha just realised obv a digital will just say it or not! Will still wait till Thursday tho I think DH thinks I'm losing the plot

Thanks jam will get one after work! Going to wait until Thursday though to try and catch a bigger difference. Here's today's and yesterday's

I'd definitely recommend getting the digital ones Feefs, they are rather expensive so shouldn't be used as just a random test lol, but if you've got another line today then it's a lovely feeling seeing it basically spelt out for you on a digi! I definitely didn't believe I was pregnant until I saw it lol. So excited for you! Go buy one now!!
