Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

April was meant to be my month off (plus would mean no Xmas due date) but I took ill in March and ended up losing track of ovulation and temps etc, and didn't take the vits as regularly. Only DTD four times in the month... Genuinely think not focusing on it did the trick. That and a bit of luck. I just need to get the early stages done safely now which has made my nerves shoot through the roof.

It's amazing news. Any tipsConfusedWink I have had three months of opks, vitamins and thinking about it. Do I take a month out from all that for April?

OnNaturesCourse · 25/03/2017 18:21

Thanks Shh. I'm only 4+4 so still early days!

Thanks for he support ladies. I think I just had a romantic idea in my head that it would just happen. And it hasn't in three months. I guess I should be grateful for three regular periods though. Nature I haven't been on much in the last few weeks - you're upduffed?!?! Congrats!!!

Morning lovely.
I'm OK, trying to not focus on the pregnancy too much. We did tell the parents last night, just my father to be told now, as my HCG doubled between Wednesday n Friday so things are doing as they should. The sac is still very small, smaller than expected by midwife, so I've got to go hack on Wednesday for another check.

Kind of lingering between here n pregnancy forum as I'm still not 100% trusting everything to be OK, and want to stay in touch with you guys.

How many days late are you now AJ?

Apple... How are you doing hon?

Shhh hope you've spoilt and treated yourself girl!

Morning my lovelies!!! How's everyone doing? I was feeling a bit flat as I can sense AF approaching but took myself out for a run & feel so much more motivated & free! Crazy day ahead & letting my hair down tonight at the open bar for my mums bday! X

OnNaturesCourse · 24/03/2017 21:37

How's everyone doing

@Sshsecretenclosed that's so frustrating. I know how you feel! I can sense the start of AFs imminent arrival too! That's why these groups can be helpful - all in it together.

I'm all bloated & uncomfortable with increasing cramps so I'm thinking I'm out this time around too.

Pamper yourself this weekend - lie in, drink wine, eat chocolate & be real with how you feel. X

OnNaturesCourse · 24/03/2017 08:49

shh I'm sorry lovely, sending you big hugs and lots of chocolate. Xx

Feeling a bit down. CD 27 and af just starting with brown spotting. ovd CD 16. Tummy aches. I'm in a bad mood and that's ttc cycle 3 done and dusted. Oh my. What a journey. Feels awful when af arrives. Onwards and upwards I guess

AJE84 · 23/03/2017 12:06

Well I'm not technically late yet - Saturday is the day! But then Ovia has once again changed its mind and said I'm now expecting AF the following week!!! 🤔 But I'll re-test early next week if she's a no show as I'm pretty sure I should start this Sat!

Apple: that must have been really worrying. It's so hard when you're so acutely aware of every twinge & ache! How are you feeling now?

OnNaturesCourse · 23/03/2017 09:48

Yea, my first.

How many days late are you now? I noticed my heightened sense of smell yesterday when DP had only half heartily cleaned the Kitty tray.. Stinky!

appleseedpip · 23/03/2017 09:38

Oh thank goodness everything is ok!! You gave us a real fright. Will they look into your cysts more? Those HCG levels sound very promising :) Plenty of rest nature!

AJE84 hmmmm how many days are you late now? I was wondering if you have kept the tests you've taken already? Sometimes the ones you dismissed as negative develop further to show faint positives.. I know it's not the said thing to do as there is a 'window' of prime results but even so it might help to double check them again. xx

I've still not had any real pregnancy symptoms like before.. but had really awful heavy cramping on Tuesday for 15minutes and thought I was losing the pregnancy or start bleeding any moment :( but I've not.. so I don't really know what my body is doing.. I've gotten so paranoid I took a test yesterday morning instead of waiting till Friday and the lines came up instantly and much darker.. Even so I'm still worried.. I'ved started worrying about the possibility of blighted ovums.. ahhh!!

OH! I've also bought a load of IC's but doubt that will ease my worries at all! But they're taking forever to turn up... I hope these don't break my need to test all the time :S

AJE84 · 23/03/2017 09:02

Lol!

Is this your first? Will be mine - I imagine I will be quite anxious knowing my disposition! I hope not though!

Still no sign of AF yet and normally I have clear signs by now. No achey boobs, no spotting, no ravenous hunger & no up & down mood swings.... but then no pregnancy signs either! The odd twinge in my uterus region, and sometimes a discomfort as if starting a UTI and a sudden urgency to pee. I did notice on Monday that a child I was working with really smelled - which either he had an accident or I hadn't picked up on it before! AF forecast for Saturday.... x

OnNaturesCourse · 22/03/2017 23:30

I'll maybe relax in 8 months lol

OP posts:
AJE84 · 22/03/2017 22:34

That's a relief Nature!! I hope you can relax tonight xx

OnNaturesCourse · 22/03/2017 19:08

Hi.

Not long home. Good news, I think, they found a sac and my lining is nice and thick so they've ruled out ectopic unless there is another in there hiding away at moment. My HCG is 854 which seems to be good? Getting retested on Friday...

They think my pain is from a cyst and bleeding was implantation blood.

OP posts:
appleseedpip · 22/03/2017 18:25

Oh Nature my darling, how are you doing? 😔 Why do they think it could be an ectopic? Are you bleeding and in a lot of pain? You poor thing.. I'll be thinking of you. xx

OnNaturesCourse · 22/03/2017 14:04

Well. Checking in... And killing time. I'm at the EPU as they think its ectopic... They've taken bloods but it's possibly too early for a scan. Just waiting on doctor coming back. 😟

OP posts:
OnNaturesCourse · 21/03/2017 12:08

I did that this month, threw everything aside and was actually quiet ill through most of it... And look what happened. I think we can over do the practical and physical stuff when ttc

We've been trying since August so not long in the grand scheme of things. I started this cycle very optimistic & solely using Ovia to track things & then literally overnight it moved my fertile window back by a week, showing that I'd completely missed it! Was really pissed off! I think next month we might need to opt for consistent BDing every 2 or 3 days rather than waiting for the fertile window. It doesn't help that I've never managed to catch a positive LH surge using OPKs - the ICs seem to indicate that it's near by getting stronger lines but then I dont seem to be in the right place at the right time to confirm ovulation! Gahhh!!!

Tempted to take my foot off the gas next month - no OPKs or temping - just lots of sex!

OnNaturesCourse · 21/03/2017 09:14

Aw AJ... Not completely out yet. I really hope your body stops messing around soon. Sorry how long have you been TTC again, I think you mentioned before but I can't recall x

OP posts:
AJE84 · 21/03/2017 06:28

Morning! So a BFN for me this morning - disappointed but also realise I'm not out just yet. Would be simpler to stick with just one app I think! That's what's baffling me! They're all saying slightly different things! But no symptoms of either AF or otherwise - just the odd twinge every now and then. I'll just have to wait then I guess.... 😙

OnNaturesCourse · 21/03/2017 00:52

apple we have reached 4 weeks. How you doing sweetie
