We’re nearly full so made us another thread!

How is everyone?

I’m 6DPO CD31.. going to be a 40+ day cycle.. as if 30 doesn’t feel long enough!! Nothing to report aside from that.

@Littlebee1990 that is amazing news!!! Keep us updated lovely!!! x

It's like Christmas morning every time I see a positive OPK! It's actually crazy how quickly my LH spikes... yesterday wasn't even close and then this morning a blazing positive. Can probably squeeze 2 more nights of DTD out of DH 😂

@AnnaPosie well that could be good news!! I hope it's a true positive 🤞🏼

@littlebee1990

Brilliant news. All sounds great 👌👌👌

@kalecat hopefully this will be the month for lots of us !

I'm 18 days late, I did a few tests about 2 weeks ago all negative apart from one faint looking positive , did a test today and got a positive using strips but more than likely it's just a surge in hormones or something which I've been told can happen, so I'm going to wait and test again Thursday and I'll know then for sure .

@Kalecat Hoping your peak comes as expected and you can have some time off 🤣 We DTD 6 days in a row last month and got the BFP so hopefully 6 is the magic number 🤪 xxx

Hey ladies,

How are you all? Anyone in the TWW & testing soon?

Just had my final check in at EPU after the scare 2 weeks ago. Measuring at 8+1 now, the hematoma has shrunk and baby has a lovely strong heartbeat and they don’t need to see me again 😀 Going to try and relax now until the dating scan on 29th October.

Hope you all have a lovely day x

@AnnaPosie are you still doing opks ? If not maybe start incase you have just missed one and will ovulate soon. I don't think it is uncommon to randomly miss a period or could you ask for a blood test from the doctor to check for pregnancy x

AnnaPosie · 30/09/2020 20:45

@Littlevee1990 absolutely thrilled for you 😍😍😍

My period is 12 days late, I did 4 tests including a clear blue digital about 9 days ago , each negative, just wondering will this period just not come at all now and it will just be October period instead as my permit is always around the 17th of each month, it's driving me mad the waiting 😭

Lovely news @Littlebee1990

@Littlebee1990 I was thinking of you this morning! That’s amazing news! So glad everything is looking positive 😃 💕

Nottherealslimshady · 29/09/2020 18:20

@Littlebee1990 woohoo!! So happy for you, I also have a haematoma but the lady who did the scan said they're not uncommon and rarely cause any trouble, theres a few women on my fb group who have one.
@Kalecat congrats on your wedding 💕

1992EM · 29/09/2020 18:09

@littlebee1990 this is amazing news . I am so glsd all is well 💕

Hi ladies, update as promised after my visit to EPU last week when they said heartbeat was low and to expect the worst and go back in 2 weeks. Thank you for all your good wishes and prayers.. today at our private scan bubbas heartbeat is now 129bpm and I’m measuring at 6+4.. we’re not out the woods yet as it’s still very very early days and I have a haematoma to the side of bubba which is a risk but I have to rest, take it easy and keep hopeful everyday. She said as of today everything looks good and how it should and we saw bubbas heartbeat flickering away. We can’t quite believe it. ❤️😢

@kalecat I am glad you had a great day 💕

Kalecat · 27/09/2020 22:15

Wedding was wonderful. DH and I are elated ❤️ didn't have an overly romantic evening though, as AF decided this weekend was a good time to arrive 🙄
Will continue TTC in October... going to see the doctor soon, and get some blood work to make sure my levels are ok for maintaining pregnancy..
We're taking a mini-moon for the next week, will check in soon. ❤️

Smushty14 · 27/09/2020 20:22

@dogmam thanks lovely we are so excited!!! Yes it will be, we have plans to extend it in around 5 years time so definitely forever home.

Ooh I haven't heard of the clue app. I have Flo, Ovia and Femometer.

They look like the cheapest opks so I'm definitely thinking of giving those a go

1992EM · 27/09/2020 17:04

@dogmam thank you. Hopefully October will be a lucky month. It has worked out well as the week i will likely ovulate we are both off.💕

dogmam · 27/09/2020 15:44

@smushty14 ahh well not too long to wait then, fingers crossed for your October date! How exciting, will this be your forever home?
I use the One Step opks, think they're only £7 for 50 from Amazon, they've been good, I use the Premom app to track and you can take a pic of your opks and it reads and plots the graph for you, I really like it. I also have the Clue app.
Yeah, I'm so relieved that the doctor was a good one, it must an awful if you get one that brushes you off

@1992EM I am so sorry AF is here. Have allll the chocolate and gins for the next few days then positive thoughts for next cycle. Let's hope it's lucky for us both.

1992EM · 27/09/2020 10:26

@smushty14 thanks , even if you aren't trying this month i would start tracking your cycle and ovulation dates to give you a better idea . Also helps the app become more reliable too x

Smushty14 · 27/09/2020 10:05

@1992EM I'm sorry Hun 😔 on the bright side at least you know now so can try again.

I'll have a look into those ones! I've got the apps all ready to go, just need to hold off until we are in

1992EM · 27/09/2020 09:13

AF has arrived 😔
