@candycrush2298 I'm the same as @Welliedays I don't want to know until the baby is born too.

But obviously it means I can't have a gender reveal or like you say plan how the nursery will look etc.

Also fun fact that I don't know whether you guys would know, but I'm south asian so my family are quite big on astrology. When the baby is born they'll be given a letter based on the time they were born and then we pick a name based on that. So unless I want to be picking out a name for each gender baby for all the letters of the alphabet I think I'll have to wait. Got a few favourites picked out though :P

I wonder if it's cause I'm testing on the monitor in the morning. Previously I'd do afternoon. Going to do my last cheap opk when I get home from work tonight and it might be 'peak'.

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 11:27

@snapple21 awwwww no really thought you would have chances are your opk will be positive today and tomorrow will be peak if you having ewcm.

@Welliedays I completely understand the fear is always there isnt it. Oooooh it just sounds so exciting whatever you choose to do name wise will be amazing!!

OMG!! £32 is expensive!! Like wow!!! I think with clothes they only gonna wear it so little because they grow so fast no point having super expensive name brands but then other times I think they look so cute kitted out in the branded things hahahah who knows what I will do. But 100% agree £32 is harsh lol

Welliedays · 06/09/2020 11:16

Haha @candycrush2298 only because I keep thinking something will go wrong if I plan too much!! I might buy a few clothes and a car seat before it's born! Not sure if we'll have one name for a boy and one name for a girl or whether we'll have a few we like and than wait to see what suits them once they're born 🤔

Boden have a REALLY cute cardigan with farm animals and tractors on it. It's £32 though 🤯 (this is the fault of sponsored posts by the way), I need to remember by budget will be Asda, not Boden 😂😂😂😂

snapple21 · 06/09/2020 11:10

Arghhh my clear blue monitor still says high not peak. I have loads of ewcm today. I
Only have one cheap opk left too. Really thought the monitor would peak today.

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 11:09

@Welliedays wow you have the patience of a Saint like truly. I am such a planner like I would need to know the gender so we have the final name, the nursery like I need to plan it all hahahhaha I am not big on surprises they freak me out when I am unprepared whahahaha.
You are so blessed to be such a relaxed person I am so jealous hahaha.

@Kaybobx I agree working on a Sunday should most definitely be banned. Well done wearing your glasses so proud of you 💜 hope you can get something stronger soon xx

@candycrush2298 I've just had paracetamol (and wearing my glasses) will go to the shop on the way to work and get something abit stronger! Work on a Sunday should be banned ugh!

Welliedays · 06/09/2020 10:58

@elakiya definitely not going to find out the gender. And haven't thought about names yet. It's far too early, not doing anything until the first scan and then will tell people, but probably won't start buying thins or thinking of names etc until much later

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 10:56

@Kaybobx thank you yeah I think so, getting excited actually hahahah!!!
Awww no work and a headache have you been able to take anything for it??

@Elakiya thanks for the link quite keen to see where this is going to go hahahaha.
Awww thanks for explaining this is going to be so interesting to see.

@Welliedays thats great will do my best to remember the date so I can pester you for how it went hahahahaha

Kaybobx · 06/09/2020 10:54

Just had a browse through that thread. Poor woman, they are all going in on her! I'd be very suprised if she was pregnant though!

Elakiya · 06/09/2020 10:51

@Welliedays how exciting 😁. Are you going to find out the gender. Have you thought about names

Welliedays · 06/09/2020 10:45

No idea @elakiya. I have my first appointment with the midwife on 22 September when I'll be 8 weeks or so and not sure if I book in then or whether they send an appointment. It should hopefully be around 15 October

Elakiya · 06/09/2020 10:42

@Kaybobx I know right. So much BD-ing. This better pay off!

Elakiya · 06/09/2020 10:41

@candycrush2298 @Kaybobx to clarify she said she was getting faint positives and thinks she was 6 weeks pregnant. They took blood tests and a pregnancy test at an early pregnancy unit but they are all negative. Then she said she was feeling something move inside her so thinks she might be a lot longer. She has 4 kids thinks the movement feels exactly like it did when she had them. Also she wasn’t trying for a baby. She’s now booked onto a private scan.

@Welliedays when is your scan?

Elakiya · 06/09/2020 10:37

@Kaybobx @candycrush2298 here is the link to the thread

@Boc86 I remember you mentioned you were trying this cycle. I have you got your peak yet?

Welliedays · 06/09/2020 10:37

@elakiya @candycrush2298 @kaybobx I've commented so will keep an eye out for the scan results on Monday

Kaybobx · 06/09/2020 10:37

@candycrush2298 sounds like a good plan 👍🏼 a nice stress free month will do you the world of good.
I think im recovered down there haha. I've had this banging headache for 2 days though so couldn't do it if i tried. Ive got work at 2pm aswell ugh!!! 😭

@Elakiya i can't believe how much we have both BD this cycle haha! Go us!

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 10:24

@Kaybobx lol I get it!! That was me to a T last cycle freaked out until I got that coverline and was phew OK progesterone has really taken over and the natural order of things have been restored.
Whahahahaha hubby trying his luck!! I am sure you are still tender down there 🤣🤣

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 10:22

@Elakiya holy cow you did a load of BD thats amazing!!! You have followed SMEP perfectly!! Well done you thats incredible.

Hmmm who can actually feel their baby move at 6wks she would be way longer along for that hahaha. Can't wait for her to go for this scan this is going to be so interesting. Keep us updated I am invested in this now hahaha.

And I will always keep faith!!!

So I turned off my alarm I have deleted yesterday's temps and I am not going to log anything in my apps (only when AF ends so I at least know how long my periods were). Started the soy last night and will start bd'ng every other day from Wednesday until a week Thursday and thats it.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 06/09/2020 10:21

@candycrush2298 I'm still stressing until i get that coverline 🤣

@Elakiya hubby tried this morning! Hahahaha no!

Someone can feel the baby move at 6 weeks? I think she's got wind. I didn't feel my daughter move until 18 weeks

Elakiya · 06/09/2020 10:15

Right I’m done BD-ing for the cycle. AF due in 1 week and 1 day. Can’t be asked anymore lol.

@candycrush2298 she’s saying she can feel her baby move. She said she thought she was 6 weeks but can now feel the baby move inside her so thinks she’s longer. She’s going to get a private scan done so will be interesting to see how that ends.

Thanks for not losing faith in me even though I have lol.

@Kaybobx whoopeee now you can relax and hopefully this will be your last cycle of having to BD.

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 09:25

@Kaybobx whoohoo!!! I bet you are not stressing anymore lol!!! I think you are 2dpo and when you get a high temp tomorrow FF will give you a coverline. Thats my thoughts.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 06/09/2020 07:07

@snapple21 mine was delayed too. I usually ovulate CD13 but my temp has finally only gone up this morning!

Ive woken up with a headache again, that's most days this week ugh! I'm getting a good sleep too.

@candycrush2298 you'll be waiting a while for any tests from me, absolutely no idea what DPO i am 🤣

CSG (Thread 3)
candycrush2298 · 05/09/2020 23:27

@snapple21 ugh lets hope its worth the delayed ovulation. Let's hope its the egg you need!!! Good plan on skipping tonight to do it tomorrow and next day. That will be the smep plan down!!

@Elakiya oh really!!! The reality is though she is only really late if she tracked ovulation with OPKs or bbt otherwise she could have just ovulated later than she thought. Or if she stopped tracking LH and got another surge so the first one failed. So without knowing 100% that ovulation happened when she thought she probably isn't even late. Does she know how late she is? Or doesn't it say?

Yes I am already out so thats you @snapple21 @Kaybobx and @NamechangeTTC so definitely thats gotta be one of you giving us a BFP. And just becuase you haven't done the soy @Elakiya I am not counting you out because you have BD'd so much!!!

OP posts:
Elakiya · 05/09/2020 23:20

@candycrush2298 at the moment people are just telling her she’s a bit urmmm deluded lol 😂

I think she’s probably got some other problem that may have stopped her periods.

@snapple21 ah that’s annoying but yes let’s hope for a super strong egg.

So given 4 of you tried soy we need at least one bfp from you soy people this month. No pressure ladies lol
