Ahhh congratulations @dogscanlookup!! I'm currently convincing myself that I've had a false positive or I'll have another chemical... save me from myself!!

I think I'm approx 11dpo but I don't track properly. AF would be due Thursday... Really hoping she stays away!

Dogscanlookup · 17/08/2020 22:27

Hi guys, so I had a break over the weekend to avoid over thinking and I did a test this afternoon and.... BFP 😱😱😱 I’m actually still in shock!!!
@Welliedays congratulations! I think we’re exactly the same amount of days gone! I’m about 12DPO.

I have my fingers crossed for you other ladies that this is a good month!!!

Thank you @cew19, how long have you been ttc?

Welcome to the crazy club @stephiw and good luck with your ttc journey... Hopefully it won't be a long one for you!

It really is @daffodil21, such a minefield, full of overanalysing at all stages. I really hope this isn't a sign or being a parent as I think I'll have a breakdown!! Part of me wishes I hadn't tested, I tell myself I won't get too far ahead of myself until after AF due date, but here I am googling maternity clothes and prams and working out when my 12 week scan will be. Please save me from myself!!

@CEW19 yay we are TWW buddies!

@Welliedays it's all just a complete worry isn't it!

Welcome @StephiW when is AF due?

Hey, hope you don't mind if I join.

Going to be starting TTC journey, pending AF to arrive from not trying on last cycle. Cannot wait!

CEW19 · 17/08/2020 21:53

Ah massive congrats! It’s such a minefield isn’t it! Was speaking to some friends last week and three of them took a while to conceive and now have babies, trying to keep that in mind and relax and think positive thoughts. Easier said than done though! Have booked a consultation with a fertility clinic to see if there’s anything going on.

Welliedays · 17/08/2020 21:25

@cew19 I hope you see your BFP at the end! I got a BFP yesterday, AF is due on Thursday and now I'm over analysing the lack of symptoms 🙈🙈

CEW19 · 17/08/2020 21:18

Around 1dpo here too and going to try really really hard not to think about anything these next two weeks! How’s everyone doing?

Welliedays · 17/08/2020 21:16

Ahh no @daffodil21, if its any consolation now I have my positive I'm over analysing the fact I don't think I have any symptoms at the moment.. In my head I'm telling myself it was a false positive or its already turned into a chemical (but I'm sure that would lead to bleeding like now, rather than when AF is due?! 🤷🏼‍♀️)... But if I was looking for symptoms I'd pro ably say I had some. Literally can't win 😂

@Welliedays oh really? I never knew that 🙈 I'm not doing OPKs ever again though unless I need to know timings for a blood test etc.

Only 1DPO and have already thought 'ooh maybe!' at a couple of non-twinges. Will I ever learn?!

OP posts:
Welliedays · 17/08/2020 20:07

@daffodil21 I've just looked on my flo app and there's a space for logging positive opks on there too, I don't know if it moves your fate, but thought I'd mention it ☺️

@tofu35 I was in a really grumpy mood last Saturday because I'd dreamt I had a BFP... I must only have have ovulated so it wasn't like I could even test 😂

Tofu35 · 17/08/2020 10:36

Had my first baby dream last night (I went for a scan) although most of the dream was me stressing at who I should tell first and how could I be so far along without knowing.

No more cheese for dinner! Grin

Welliedays · 17/08/2020 09:09

Nothing major, I felt really sick/heartburny last night, had another weird dream last night and my nipples... They're looking pretty odd at the moment 😂

😂 @Welliedays that's so funny! Any updates today?

I've just dusted off my old Fitbit and there is a period tracker in it (not sure if you have to have a Fitbit to use the app or not) but unlike apps like Flo, it lets you log a positive OPK in it, so if you're app predictions are out it will move predicted AF day

Had limited MN this weekend, and I come back to a shiny new thread, a static smiley, and @Welliedays good news! Flowers

Aokbaby · 16/08/2020 12:40

@Bam27 every month 🙈

Welliedays · 16/08/2020 11:57

@daffodil21 I didn't tell him but I came back in the bedroom and he just said 'I know what you've been doing'. Hawkeye... Or ears 😂 he must have heard me get the test out my bedside draw or heard me open the packet in the bathroom 🤷🏼‍♀️

Daffodil21 · 16/08/2020 11:53

@Bam27 I do exactly the same too 😂 I'm really going to just try and forget about it this month though (ha) the in-laws are staying from Friday until Wednesday, which should help distract me for some of the tww!

@Welliedays did you tell him you were doing the test or did you just do it? I never tell my DH 😂🙈

OP posts:
Welliedays · 16/08/2020 11:50

@bam27 I do exactly the same!!

Bam27 · 16/08/2020 11:42

So I'm 5 days PO now and I just googled "when does implantation occur" 😂 as if I didn't know already, why can't we resist the urge to Google? It really is a bit strange to Google things you know the answer to 🤣

Welliedays · 16/08/2020 11:39

@daffodil21 My husband said to wait until tomorrow, but I'd rather have a Sunday to get over it than a Monday 😂

Daffodil21 · 16/08/2020 11:32

@Welliedays I do that pretty much every month for exact same reason 😂

OP posts:
Welliedays · 16/08/2020 10:59

Ahh don't be apologising @daffodil21 you were only echoing what I was thinking. Tbh I only tested this morning so I could mentally prepare for AF arriving!!

Daffodil21 · 16/08/2020 10:54

@Welliedays I'm so so glad that turned out to be implantation bleeding for you! I hope I wasn't too negative about it at the time, it's just that I've been caught out by that (both ways!) before and it made AF arriving worse.

Keep us posted!

OP posts:
Welliedays · 16/08/2020 09:45

@daffodil21 I think I' about 11dpo but I actually have no idea. I think I had implantation on Thursday which is why I tested today. I'll probably test again the day AF is due... So Thursday!
