Hope you don't mind me popping back in, I always have a little look hoping for good news for you lovely ladies and thrilled to see your BFP @Lozzlepop. Enjoy telling your DP today :)

I'm 9dpo today and we've been really relaxed this cycle so in my head I've already counted this month out but all today I have been having the strangest pulling sensation behind my belly button? And when I bend over I get a stabby feeling that goes upwards when I stand up straight 🧐 really not symptom spotting as tbh I have counted myself out but after feeling so off the last couple of months I'm a bit confused about what my body is doing. Just want some opinions I guess, dunno whether to think it's bad or not??

Lozzlepop · 06/07/2019 22:36

@LokiCat no not nosy at all, we DTD on day 8 and then DTD every second day then the way it worked out we DTD the day before +OPK the day of +OPK then skipped a day and done it the next day!

ELW85 · 06/07/2019 22:04

@LokiCat - I’m getting a Merc CLA :) very excited!! This all sparked as I’m on DH’s car scheme at work and they need it back to his workplace sooner than expected so I found a good lease deal.
I’m not convinced it’s going to be big enough for a pram, but he’s assuring me it will be!
Just need a reason to buy one now 🤞🏻

@Lozzlepop - please do stick around! It’s lovely having you here!

LokiCat · 06/07/2019 21:36

Bit of a nosy question @Lozzlepop, I hope you don't mind - what days did you DTD during your fertile week/+OPK? I know you did SMEP this month - was it every other day?

LokiCat · 06/07/2019 21:28

@Lozzlepop haha aww bless you! Yes, please stick around, would love to know how you're doing and let us know your OH's reaction!
Fingers crossed this is a sticky bean 😊 xx

Lozzlepop · 06/07/2019 20:07

@LokiCat thank you so much! It deffo does,
I have been exhausted today, had a nap in the car and then slept for almost 2 hours after the safari park 😂

@ELW85 thanks lovely, I honestly can’t believe it, does mean I need to take the car now to lunch tomorrow 😂

@MrsLBear @MrsH497 thank you so much!

@Fivebyfive2 I’m so excited to tell him tomorrow it’s killing me keeping it in 😂 How are you doing?

@MrsEG thanks so much hun ☺️ Just hoping everything goes well this time 🤞🏻

@Lottiepink at least I know there’s a reason for it now and I’m not just a lazy bones! I cannot wait it’s going to be the last gift he gets!

@LikeTheFruit ahhhh that you so much! Big waves from across the forth! Deffo thinking that missing the peak on OPKs and a Majorca trip is the way forward lol

@Anny27 @Larrydavid thank you 😄

Ladies thank you so much for all the love I am so overwhelmed by your kind words,
I hope you don’t mind if I stick about for a while with my gals

LokiCat · 06/07/2019 20:03

@ELW85 ah I hope it doesn't get crazy! Oooh exciting - what one did you get? Congrats on the new car!

@MrsH497 I seem to be noticing pregnant womeneverywhere as well. So many 'baby on board' badges on the train! Also, the last three times I've been to dinner with friends, they've all announced that they're pregnant 🙈 I refuse to meet up with anyone anymore 😂

Larrydavid · 06/07/2019 17:22

@Lozzlepop yesssss! So many congratulations- such brilliant news ❤️

MrsH497 · 06/07/2019 16:40

@MrsLBear this was my 3rd session she does different things each time dependent on my cycle as well.

I'm 1 dpo! Not holding out much hope to be honest but hey. Honestly the month I fell pregnant I didn't use OPKs or apps or preseed nothing.

I'm noticing more people who are pregnant as well it's tough. X

Anny27 · 06/07/2019 15:25

@Lozzlepop ahhh huge congratulations:D that is so exciting :)

Enjoy telling DH the good news :):):)

LikeTheFruit · 06/07/2019 15:17

@Lozzlepop yes!!! Had such a good feeling for you this month. A million Congratulations to you my wee pal from across the Forth! ❤️❤️❤️

Lottiepink · 06/07/2019 15:10

@MrsEG wow that is amazing! Congratulations, fingers crossed for you 😊

@Lozzlepop ahh amazing, I had a feeling you were going to get this good news with your symptoms. I bet you cannot wait to tell dh tomorrow 😊

MrsLBear · 06/07/2019 14:12

@MrsEG ah how amazing. It's probably one of those that now you know everything will feel like it ramps up as well! All the best ❤️

MrsEG · 06/07/2019 13:14

@Lozzlepop Oh wow congratulations! Fantastic news ♥️ Delighted for you.

@MrsLBear @FlapJackered @elw85 thanks, no we didn’t suspect a thing, I’ve been exhausted but otherwise my symptoms have been really quite mild! The doctors told me this could be the calm before the storm though and I certainly feel a good bit more queasy today.

ELW85 · 06/07/2019 13:01

@LokiCat - thanks for asking :) work has kind of calmed down but next week will remain crazy I think.
Currently cleaning car as it gets handed back on Monday and I get my new one. Yassss!

Fivebyfive2 · 06/07/2019 11:45

@Lozzlepop, woooo!! Congrats sweet!! Your dp with definitely be having a happy birthday 😀🎂🎉

LokiCat · 06/07/2019 11:26

@ELW85 I'm okay thank you! Happy it's the weekend finally and that I managed to get a little lie in this morning. Going to be heading out soon to enjoy the weather! How are you? I hope things at work were better for you last two days?

MrsLBear · 06/07/2019 11:08

Sorry @Lozzlepop just saw your reply to @FlapJackered which answers my question! Congrats again!!

MrsLBear · 06/07/2019 11:07

Congratulations @Lozzlepop!! I love seeing BFP on here!!! How many DPO are you?

MrsLBear · 06/07/2019 11:07

@MrsH497 such a rollercoaster. And frustrating as it's all a big guessing game really. Have you done many sessions of acupuncture? Well I've got my fx for you!!
How many DPO are you?
I'm ok...same as you tbh. Ups and downs. Feel really deflated with it sometimes and envious of people I know that have announced that they are pg recently.
I contemplated cutting all opks and everything if we aren't lucky this cycle. I don't think it's helping my sanity tbh and I feel like I can't time it any better and it still hasn't worked or is yet to work again rather.

MrsH497 · 06/07/2019 10:46

@Lozzlepop huge congratulations!! X

ELW85 · 06/07/2019 10:40

@Lozzlepop - congratulations!!! I had such a good feeling that you were going to get your BFP :D so, so happy for you!! A happy birthday (and a cheaper July with all of your weekends planned) indeed xx

@LokiCat - thank you! I think I had the higher temp as I was awake in the middle of the night to DTD and that usually throws my temps off 😂
Hopefully we’ve done enough to cover bases!
How are you today, my lovely?

LokiCat · 06/07/2019 10:30

Ahhhh!! @Lozzlepop huge congratulations!! I'm so happy for you! How lovely you'll be able to give your OH a surprise 😍 explains why you've been feeling so tired this whole week!
I was genuinely hoping to see this when I woke up! ❤️

@ELW85 wow, that does sound intense! Glad you're feeling okay and hope it doesn't kick in tomorrow!
Oh I'm not too sure about the temps. I think it's because you had a slight temp rise the day of your peak, which is why FF has marked it as ovulation day?
Fingers crossed it looks like you've covered your bases if ovulation is either day!

Lozzlepop · 06/07/2019 10:24

@FlapJackered thank you so so much ☺️ I’m 15 DPO so I really did hold off to test! I’ve been really tired all week which I put down to a few bad sleeps and I’ve been feeling really nauseous! Was stressing out as DP was talking to me through the bathroom door then hanging about upstairs 🙈🙈 going to test again with FMU to see if I get a better line as this one got stuffed in my bra and smuggled out the room 😂😂 xx
