Yes @Fizzl great news!
I know @Annny27, I wasted 3 FRERs last month so not bought any this time. I’ve got about 3 cheapies so absolutely not testing until 12dpo at least or if I start to get any noticeable symptoms before then!

Annny27 · 25/06/2020 09:42

@Ejb86 I could cry with relief about your LP also sometimes being short and still managing to conceive. I know @fizzl is with me haha! I've worried unnecessarily about it!

Let's hope lucky number 7 is lucky for all of us :D

@fizzl omg amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Thats incredible well done for your patience :D what cycle day is it?

@Leok83 are you doing opks?

@scrumdiddly123 not long until you can test :D

@Ejb86 I'm on month 7 now post mc so hopefully my body is sorting itself out once and for all! I'm so happy for you. How strange your little one had an intuition too!

I'm so relieved my body is starting to work again. Guess who's going to be peeing on sticks all day waiting for it to (hopefully) change to peak 🤗

Ejb86 · 25/06/2020 09:31

@Fizzl yey for ovulation!

Ejb86 · 25/06/2020 09:30

@Fizzl Yes! My shortest LP was 5 days! It has literally taken 9 months for my body to settle after the MC. Every cycle has been a different length, I've ovulated on different days every cycle and every LP has been different. I have my fingers crossed for all of you! Xxx

Fizzl · 25/06/2020 09:26

On a separate note guys....

... it's happening!! Hallelujah!

Never thought I'd see the day of a positive opk again 😅 the test line came up instantly! I thought I was looking at it upside down at first but nope there is definitely two lines!!

In my excitement I came running back to the bedroom and woke my husband up to show him 😂

But we decided only two days ago now that we're probably not going to ttc until I get my period. I just worry that my cycle has been waaaaay too long and as gutted as I am to skip this cycle I'd rather wait until things are back to 'normal' and then I know where I'm at with everything. I spoke to my acupuncturist and she thought that was probably wise too then we know where we're at with things. I'm hopeful then that next month she will help keep my cycle regulated and lengthen my lp!

Ahhh I'm so happy 😂🤗 I just hope my body definitely does ovulate now!

Congratulations @Ejb86 that's amazing! Gives us all so much hope. Am I right in remembering your luteal phase was also a little on the short side sometimes? Gives me reassurances when I see BFP and makes me think I'm worrying unnecessarily sometimes. That's so good your being offered a scan at 5 weeks too, hopefully that will ease some of your anxieties.

All the best for a healthy pregnancy 💛

Ejb86 · 25/06/2020 09:02

Thank you lovelies. No symptoms really except feeling tired. Previous pregnancies have been relatively symptom free too, so hopefully this will be the same.

Feeling ok, a little anxious, obviously. Consultant from twin pregnancy said I could have a 5week scan to ease anxiety, so I guess I need to phone them. Also my work want a blood test to confirm pregnancy, so I need to book that too. It feels too soon to phone anywhere though.

scrumdiddly123 · 25/06/2020 08:45

Not been on for a couple of days and come back to a BFP! Woohoo! Congratulations @Ejb86 amazing news! How are you feeling?
@Fizzl that sounds positive that you’ve had EWCM! I really hope ovulation is just round the corner for you!
Hope everyone else is well, 6dpo here and not much to report!

Nuggetlover27 · 25/06/2020 08:45

@Ejb86 congratulations!!! 🤞🏻 hope that like keeps getting stronger!

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry about your grandma I hope that she's getting better and you can enjoy your break

TerribleImagination · 25/06/2020 08:12

@Ejb86 YASSSSSSSS!!! I’m so so bloody happy for you lovey!! This is the BEST news! How do you feel??? 😍😍

Leok83 · 25/06/2020 07:49

@Ejb86 that's fantastic news to wake up to🤩 what a good line progression in only a day!! absolutely delighted for you, congratulations!! How are you feeling?

@Annny27 ditto on it being too hot..myself and DH got roasted in the sun yesterday and I couldn't even sit beside him never mind DTD😄!

Annny27 · 25/06/2020 07:01

Amazing news @Ejb86 🤩🤩🤩 this is the hope we all needed! Congratulations lovely, soak up every minute. Did you have any symptoms?

@Leok83 yeah mine is more wattery now sometimes it goes from ewcm - watery and then to ewcm again. Its sooooo hot though, cba to dtd 🤣

Ejb86 · 25/06/2020 06:46

Leok83 · 24/06/2020 22:02

Oh wow @Ejb86 that looks positive to me!! Can't wait to see that line progress!! Are you testing again tomorrow or going to wait the 2 days?

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry it was another BFN and you had to explain that to your auntie🙁 safe journey to france although you are probably there by now!

@Fizzl that is soo good to hear that your body is shifting out of neutral!! Let's hope you get to ovulate soon..the accupuncture must have worked?!

@Annny27 that's early EWCM! my CM is actually getting a little watery and had a temp dip this morning so oestrogen has obviously ramped up a bit so hopefully looking good for ovulation in the next week too!

SunnySideUp2020 · 24/06/2020 13:56

@Fizzl fingers crossed 🤞 it's ewcm for ovulation for you soon!!! A news as good as a bfp i think 😁

Thanks @annny27!
Been driving for 5 hours already whilst dp works remotely next to me 😅 at least he is nto complaining about my driving 🤣

Annny27 · 24/06/2020 13:40

Ooooooh @fizzl that's so exciting :D I think I had a bit of ewcm today (usually get a week or so) so maybe we will be cycle buddies this month :D what cd number is this now?

@SunnySideUp2020 safe travels 💗

OP posts:
Fizzl · 24/06/2020 13:28

@Ejb86 that definitely looks like there is something there! 😬 it's about time we had a positive on this thread 🤞

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry it was a bfn today 😒 hopefully spending some time with your grandma will be good for you both 💛

I'm not getting too excited but I think I have ewcm today!! First time I've noticed any changes 😬 tentatively getting a bit excited. If this is the start of ovulation happening i might kiss my acupuncturist next time! Even tho it could be pure coincidence 😂 opk's still negative but hoping to see a change soon 🤞🤞

SunnySideUp2020 · 24/06/2020 10:51

@Ejb86 omg that is definitely positive 🌈❤
Retest in two days !! And a big tentative congrats lovely xxx

Annny27 · 24/06/2020 10:00

@leok83 I think I might have had some EWCM this morning at cd8 but tmi I am not quite sure if its leftover sperms or not 🤣🤣🙈🙈

Annny27 · 24/06/2020 09:46

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry about bfn this morning:( and thats really hard for you to hear your grandma say that and then have to explain to your aunty:( good luck with the travels and with seeing your grandma 💗

@Fizzl I’m so sorry you’re having such a tough time lovey, it’s really not fair 😢 I hope things start to move in the right direction for you soon! Oh I know, Sparkl’s news was just heartbreaking wasn’t it? The poor poor thing 💔

TerribleImagination · 24/06/2020 09:17

@Ejb86 I can see it!!!!! 😍 Give that a day or two and I bet there’ll be a blazing positive!

Ejb86 · 24/06/2020 04:48

10dpo...am I imagining it? It is a year ago this month since I found out I was having my girls.

SunnySideUp2020 · 24/06/2020 03:52

@fizzl glad to read things are moving a little bit your side. Good for the scan! Let us know how it goes if AF hasn't made an appearance until then.
Sending hugs and hope you are feeling ok today 💕💕

So thanks to all the ladies who could see the evap too... unfortunately BFN on frer this morning.

Also leaving this morning after having some not so good news from grandma.
The sad thing is last night my aunt texted me and said "today grandma told me you are pregnant and she is so happy to be a great grandma finally..."
And so i called and was a bit embarrassed and like well i am not pregnant but why did she say that? And apparently the morphine she is on makes her high so she lives in her own world 😔
And it made me feel shit. Because i know she really also wants us to have this baby but for some reason even this is hard.
I just want her to see this. I don't have good relationships with my mum or my dad and my nan is the closest to a parent to me and my twin brother. It just means so much to me that she is here for this.

But anyway am not pregnant but at least i will be able to be with her soon. And hopefully it will give her strength to recover...

@Ejb86 fingers crossed for your testing today. Wish you better luck than mine 🙏 ❤ xxx
