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!

Congratulations to both Ginge and Goldie! 🎉

Just to note @Ginge35, if you're in the UK it's unlikely the GP will confirm pregnancy- they just take your word for it. Also, do ask the GP reception how to go about arranging a booking-in appointment with the midwife. I booked a GP appointment my first time I got pregnant and she basically said, 'Nothing to do with me- book in with the midwife at reception.' Made me feel so silly, so do check protocol first.

Just took a CB OPK. I'm day 9 of my cycle and have a flashing smiley face. Is this possible? I'm so confused 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you ladies! 🥰🥰🥰 I'm in shock! Literally couldn't believe it! Took it as soon as I got home from work! DH doesn't believe it and told me to go to the doctors and get it confirmed! 😂
To be honest I can't believe it myself! I'm being a negative nelly and convinced it will be chemical and all of this is not really!
I've got an appointment with the doctors next week anyway, so I'll be getting it confirmed then for sure!
I'm stunned! 😱😱😱

Hi @00Bubbles00 cycle 2 for me and I'm 35 so I understand your worry! I got a faint line on Saturday but not counting my chicken just yet. It could have been a chemical pregnancy you had. Total shit when that happens! I hope that's not the case with me.
So far, AF has not turned up and I'm due today. Going to grab a first response test on my way home and see what's what. DH is on shift this week so I want to take it whilst he is home, which means tonight. I know you're supposed to test in the morning but if I get a BFN then so be it. I'm already convinced anyway, but I'm going to waste my money and buy another test anyway! 🤪

@00Bubbles00 hi bubbles, welcome. Sorry to hear that, hope you're ok.

We are similar situation, also about to move onto cycle 2 for no 2! X

00Bubbles00 · 20/01/2020 14:56

Please can I quietly join. TTC #2. On cycle 2 - AF appeared over the weekend after a faint positive earlier in the week and feeling sad about that so need to pull myself together. Reading this has made me feel much better. I'm 36 and so nervous about how much harder that makes it all.Blush

FarmerWantsABaby · 20/01/2020 12:40

Amazing @Goldie0109 I am delighted for you!! More positivity! 💕 we all need to keep our spirits up for January/February ☺️
I'm also tracking my BBT this month. I have downloaded an app to input the data every day which is very useful!

Goldie0109 · 20/01/2020 10:39

Thanks @Ginge35 and thanks @ablisha 😘 It was cycle number 4 of trying for me. I had no symptoms whatsoever really except for feeling a bit more 'aware' of my boobs 😂 But I track my BBT and my temp wasn't dropping so had a feeling. Baby dust to you all and thanks for the kind words xxxx

ablisha · 20/01/2020 08:12

Congratulations @Goldie0109 😁

@Goldie0109 yaaaaaaaassssss!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 fabulous news! That makes 3 BFP's now! I'm so happy for you! 😁
Starting my day with positive vibes now I've read your post! How long did it take you to conceive?
My cramps have lessened and my boobs don't hurt as much today so I officially know I'm out! Just waiting for AF to rear her ugly face!
Keep the good vibes coming ladies! It is Monday after all! Baby dust! 🥰🥰🥰

Goldie0109 · 20/01/2020 07:09

@Ginge35 Good luck and fingers crossed for you on your second test

Woke up at 5.30am and couldn't sleep as I just had a feeling so I went to POAS and got a BFP

DH then got the strangest Monday morning wake up of his life with me shaking him and waving a pregnancy test in his face 2 hours before his alarm goes off Grin

Good luck to all on this thread! Xxx

Geauxtigers · 19/01/2020 22:39

If my trackers were right (used clue and my garmin connect tracker) I'm 8 DPO and 6 days out from my period. I've got achy boobs which I do sometimes get as a PMS symptom but not every single cycle. But apart from some lose stool about 3 days DPO I haven't had any other symptoms so pretty sure I'm out but I know the same as everyone I'm still kind of hoping that somehow AF magically won't arrive! 🙈 I still haven't bought any PTs as I didn't want anything to tempt me to be more crazy with the overthinking than I already am!

BecauseReasons · 19/01/2020 22:16

Well, fingers crossed for you! Your symptoms do sound promising.

Ginge35 · 19/01/2020 22:06

@BecauseReasons I'm due on tomorrow, but I ovulated a couple of days late, so it might be Wednesday. The way I'm feeling though I think it will be tomorrow.
Going to hang on until the end of the week to test, if I can hold it together that long🤪 as I'm not always bang on the exact day. It's always a day or so after! I really want this month to be THE month! Here's hoping! Eeeeekkkkkk 😬😬😬😬

I googled for you, Ginge and Evaporation lines on pregnancy tests are generally colorless, but not always. There are some evaporation lines that do have color—either a light blue or light pink. The color, however, is very faint and not as dark as the color of the control line. The evaporation line can also sometimes appear greyish

Again, doesn't mean you're not pregnant, just that it'd been too early to test. How long until you're officially late?

Evening ladies! I'm having some major period cramps, just like I do, just before AF arrives 😭 so I think it may have been a false positive, or a bloody good evap line!
All will be revealed in the next few days! Feeling super sad but at the same time cautiously optimistic! I lost my shit with DH earlier. The poor bloke didn't know what to do with himself! I felt awful! My hormones are all over the place! 🤪🤪🤪
How's everyone else doing? ❤️

Goldie0109 · 19/01/2020 21:10

@Wiggleyfingers congratulations!!
@Ginge35 - that definitely looks like a positive to me
I'm going to see if my temp is still high tomorrow morning and POAS if so... AF was due today for me and didn't arrive.
