Despite my TTC last month, it resulted in my AF arriving Christmas Day (deep joy!) it's round 2 this month! I'm due to ovulate on Monday (6th) so anyone else wanna join me, with the overthinking, being excessively paranoid, mystery pregnancy signs and taking PT's when you know you shouldn't be! 🤣🤣
Feel free to jump on the crazy train with me!

@FarmerWantsABaby I hope you get hopefully results. I'm also a farmers wife! (Assuming you are by your name?) I'm in a similar situation as you.

Hopefully the blood tests will give you some answers so, as you said, you know what your next steps will be.
Keep us posted for sure!
I have my doctors appointment on Tuesday and I think it's safe to say that I've never been excited to go see my doctor until now! Haha! 😂😂

@Ginge35 still dropping temp today, no CM, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm ovulating at all 😩 still getting that stupid fucking blinky smiley face on CB OPK. Next person who smiles at me will suffer 😂
More bloods on 29th to check if ovulation took place this month. Hopefully it will give me peace of mind or even help us decide our next steps. Starting to get very frustrated and down these days. Continued photos and updates every day from my best friend who's currently 5 months pregnant. Which breaks my heart!
Then I come on this thread and look at all your lovely BFP stories and it gives me hope! 🤞🏻

@FarmerWantsABaby that's a bit pants, but clearly you've been busy so you might have cracked it this time! 🤞
@BecauseReasons I'm going to try not to look on the sites and terrify myself! 😝
Anyone else who has gotten a BFP feel absolutely normal? I have the odd cramp and yesterday I had 5 minutes of feeling like I was going to throw up! Other than that nothing! Not bleeding or spotting of any kind, so far, just normal!
I feel like my body is leading me into a false sense of security! 😝

@Ginge35 temperature right back down below the control line today so I'm not sure 😢🤯
Yes very busy 😂 I'm taking no chances this month! DH is loving himself.

Goldie0109 · 25/01/2020 08:14

@FarmerWantsABaby Looks like an ovulation spike to me! I don't think being in a warmer environment would send you over the control line. Also... you've been busy!! 😂

BecauseReasons · 24/01/2020 22:48

I dunno @Ginge35, I tried that but then kept finding out things that I'd been doing were potentially bad (long, hot baths etc) and panicking. Eventually I just decided to Google everything and go from there. If you're planning not to know, I'd advise you to stay off both Mumsnet and Google.

FarmerWantsABaby · 24/01/2020 21:44

This is my chart with today's spike. Any thoughts from any fellow BBT'ers? 😬

It's a mind field! I will check what I can and cannot eat and drugs wise (strictly over the counter of course!) but other than that I'm just gonna ignore the rest as it's too much information and too much anxiety for me to deal with! 🤪🤪

OP posts:
FarmerWantsABaby · 24/01/2020 21:33

@Ginge35 stay with us! You're not allowed to leave 😂
I've hit my BBT spike today, meaning that I have ovulated but I went to bed last night in a full set of long sleeve/long legged pyjamas and I usually sleep basically naked (tmi, don't care 😂). So the irrational part of me is skeptical that maybe the rise is because I was genuinely warmer this morning 😂 no CM at all today either 🤔 I'll see if I can upload my chart...

BecauseReasons · 24/01/2020 20:30

I'm going with ignorance is bliss!

Yeah, generally. The list of things not to eat or do is pretty huge if you go by the American standards, much smaller by the NHS. Obviously, as an anxiety sufferer, I avoided everything the Americans say to avoid and then panicked after once gorging on liquorice, not realising it was advised against! Really not worth the worry. Just do your kegels, don't drink, smoke or do drugs and don't overeat any particular thing. Oh, and paracetamol may be linked to infertility in your baby, so use sparingly. The jury is still out on that though and the official party line is that it's fine.

After reading a fair few posts on the pregnancy section of this site, I've decided to stay clear! Everyone is so scared and terrified and I don't think I can read anymore otherwise I think I'll be living on edge for the next 9 months and end up having a break down!

I've still got my OPK and spare sticks just in case my pregnancy doesn't go to Nolan and I have to try again! Optimistic I know! 😝

@Geauxtigers You're taking the battery out? Is that essential? Oh god now I feel like a bad environmental citizen. This is awkward

Geauxtigers · 24/01/2020 13:30

Does anyone know how to get the battery out of CB Pts? Looking to dispose of but can't put it in the bin with the battery and I cannot figure it out! 🙈

Me too @Bethwox same as you and I got my BFP instead of my AF! Stay hopeful! You never know! 🤞🤞🤞

newmum2020 · 24/01/2020 11:28

@Bethwox I felt exactly as you described for a few days before my BFP!! 🤞🤞i was convinced AF was coming!!!

ablisha · 24/01/2020 10:30

I was so sure AF started. I mean it did start, but then went after 24 hours. Now I'm really concerned that I'm having short periods?!

Bethwox · 24/01/2020 08:56

I did a test a few days early this morning.. as well as an ovulation test just to see.. I think I may of put them a bit too close as I have a faintest I'd faint lines on the PG test but I just don't feel pregnant I'm bloated gassy and feel like af is coming.. anyone else had this??

Geauxtigers · 24/01/2020 08:12

Took a test this morning and BFN as suspected, AF about to start in full flow. Hubby and I are booked to go to Finland for 4 days to go husky sledding for his 30th, it just happens to fall during next months TWW so hopefully that will distract me from the wait next time.

So excited for all you ladies with BFPs, can't wait for it to be my turn!

cherrybomb86 · 23/01/2020 22:38

Congratulations to those that got their BFP! Amazing news!! You must be thrilled 😘

I'm in purgatory myself, I thought AF had arrived and I was out. 5 days later I'm still spotting wh moth no sign of a full flow. Boobs are sore and lower back pain...did a test yesterday which would have been 10dpo. Stupid that my period is being non committed!!
I usually start my period with 2-3 days of spotting which gradually gets heavier. This time it's just staying as spotting and I'm getting very frustrated. Just want it to come so i can get it out the way and crack on with the next cycle! 😬😩

I haven't yet. I started this thread and wanted to keep an eye on everyone and how everyone is doing! 🥰
I don't even know what thread to go on! I'm so clueless haha!
Plus I still don't believe I'm pregnant. I feel normal and don't feel pregnant! I don't even know what feeling pregnant should be like! 😬
Hopefully you get your early scan and fingers crossed everything works out for you this time 🥰

OP posts:
newmum2020 · 23/01/2020 19:42

@Ginge35 yes I was told the same re earliest first scan. I had a private one booked last time but miscarried just before it. The lady said 8 weeks or later. But to be honest that's not too long now! I reckon I'm 4+2 today so should be able to book one anytime from 3 weeks on Tuesday 😃 need to call midwife first though! I'm hoping that I'll get an early nhs scan because of what happened last time.

have you moved to a pregnancy thread?

Ginge35 · 23/01/2020 19:21

@newmum2020 I'm just waiting for the hormones to start going mental and I start feeling like crap! I genuinely hope I just sail through the whole thing! My mom carried me and my brother really well, so I'm just praying that I take after her!
Just so scary now not knowing if everything is ok!
Getting some sharp pains in my lower abdomen today, which apparently is the ligaments in my tummy expanding! My boobs are still like lead but they don't hurt as much!
I just can't wait to see my doctor next week so I can get my pregnancy officially dated and then book my early scan! One of the ladies here said wait until I'm 7 weeks instead of having a scan at 6 because sometimes there isn't a heartbeat at 6 weeks 😬
