POAS Anon Christmas Party 🌲🧑‍🎄 Ho ho ho-ws your line progression?! Thread 3

@CardioQueen ahhhh ok sorry i see! Thanks so much! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xxxx

@DrS44 no dont worry! I meant 'fake' as in the drs were saying I wasn't ovulating - I am 95% certain I was, that bleeding came 10/11 days before AF and my LP following month was also 10 days. I think this could be your ovulation ☺️

@CardioQueen it was me who asked 🙈 oh dear that has me worried now 😭 still haven't peaked! Just had a little blood in my CM earlier but nothing since! I hope I ovulate 😭😭

@DrS44 @Emmgrem @PowerOfFlowers thank you so much!!

I've forgotten who asked about the ovulation bleeding but I got this (with my 'fake' ovulation) very first cycle after withdrawal bleed. For about 2 days, very light, like the start of AF.

@PowerOfFlowers thank you for the advice. The nausea is not amazing this morning and I thought it was going to be an afternoon thing based on last couple of days. I've told myself I can eat whatever I want within reason for these bad nausea weeks as there isn't very much I fancy at all. Due 5th September according to dating scan!!

@Bells20 and @Emmgrem yes I'd love to hear what the fertility specialist will have to say about my ovulating but I'm def not going to be able to talk to him without booking an appt...but my sonographer who did my dating scan was a bit like "well...it was an obstetrician who scanned you for ovulation so they were probably wrong 🙄" and said she's heard of at least a couple of women in the last year or so who got the obstetrician to confirm gender and they got it wrong 🙈 the mum found out when baby arrived both times.

@GreenApplesYo yes ok this reassures me a bit that you are also tracking a few days different to what you'd expect! DP was like oh it's just small like us ☺️ had to explain I don't think that's how it works with a tiny fetus. Nor can I say that to the sonographer and ask her to put the date I think it is 😂

Wait ignore me I’ve literally just found it after posting that 😂 typical haha

Change not chance*

Random question but does anyone know how to chance cycle length on FF? I put mine in at 32days but think it’s more 27 days as I’ve been ovulating for the last two cycle on or around CD 14 but FF is predicting me later than that and just wanted it to be more accurate 😂 premom has be down correctly and periods have been right on cue with their predicts so want FF to follow as I use it for BBT

@Bells20 thank you! I've been Googling like a mad woman as I've not heard of it before and I was freaking out that it was AF! Fingers crossed I get my peak! Trying super hard not to wee/drink anything this afternoon but the struggle is real 😅 hope you're well xx

@CardioQueen I am here all day long for those stories of when people defy doctors! Wow 6.5 months!!! Absolutely right though people find out later all the time, I went on a girls holiday with a friend who turned out to be about 6 weeks pregnant at the time but of course none of us knew, the amount we drank was disgusting really but everything turned out perfectly well with her pregnancy and a very healthy happy baby followed! Always think it's what you do once you know that matters most! I'm 8+4 today, feeling very anxious and just counting down the days until my 12 week scan even though I don't even have an appointment for that yet!

@DrS44 those sound like good ovulation signs to me! Strange the tests haven't changed to reflect that though! Hopefully you'll get your peak v soon! It didn't happen to me but I've definitely heard of ovulation spotting so fingers crossed!

@CardioQueen the dating can be a puzzle! I am still scratching my head over how I was 13+4 at my scan when I was expecting to be 13+1. It makes it look like I ovulated 3 days before I thought I did... But I had a positive OPK and temp rise to confirm. Weird! He/she gained 3 extra days between the 9wk scan and the 13wk scan (if that makes sense) ... I am thinking maybe they get growth spurts. So yours might 'gain' some days as well?

@Bells20 @Foxl2222 I'm good thank you both! Yes @Emmgrem I'm still in the TTC group 😅 we will get there!

No really news from me! I'm CD 17 really thought I would peak today but haven't had one yet! They've all been about 20-30 so hoping it comes out of nowhere soon! Had EWCM CD14&15 then WCM CD16 and today I've had some blood?! What on Earth is that about?! I've googled and it's apparently ovulation? Has that ever happened to anyone else? It was only a small bit! There's definitely some activity down there - I just want to ovulate ASAP because my LP has been so short! I plan on taking some Angus cactus and vit C after I ovulate to try and extend it! Xxxx

Hope everyone else is doing okay xxxx

Absolutely fantastic news @CardioQueen and @Foxl2222 delighted for you both!! Eeekkkk so so exciting! 💗💗

Woooow! 2 BFP's in one morning - I can't cope!! 😆😆😆

@CardioQueen Congratulations!!! Omg! I am so so happy for you! After everything you were told and the worry you had to go through, this is amazing! Genuienly wouldn't worry that you drank and lifted before finding out (well done on PB by the way 💪🏼). I had a three day drinking weekend plus I was doing intermittent fasting and a Courtney Black challenge when I find out 😂 As a pp said, some women go months without even knowing. Re the nausea - eat little and often. And if you need to sleep, just have a nap. So does that mean you'll be due at the beginning of September? Aww this has made me smile ☺️

@Foxl2222 Ahhhh yay!! Look at that!! Congratulations!! Looking forward to seeing that line progress for you this week. This is such a lovely for you way to start the year for you - engagement AND a bfp!

Lovely news all 😀 I'm cheering all of you who are yet to get a bfp on so much now. Yours will come ❤️ And we're all here xx

OMG massive congratulations girls! This is so exciting! What month ttc were you @Foxl2222 ? Keep up updated with line progression!
@CardioQueen I'm thrilled for you after all the worry you've been through! That gives us all hope. Have the doctors who confirmed you definitely didn't ovulate had anything to say about it? 🙄 Bit worrying how inaccurate these things are! But brilliant hope for us all at the same time.

@Dex1521 @DrS44 and @positivitytree2020 I think it's just us left now... positive vibes 💪🤞✨

Thank you girls 🥰 this is such a lovely supportive group.

@Foxl2222 huge congratulations to you, how exciting you've got a BFP, lovely start to the new year!!

Thanks so much @Bells20 🤗 I agree, I have to remind myself some people are so much further gone when they find out (my mum with my sister - her 4th - at 6.5 months) and even my GP said that early on is really just cell division, so she wasn't concerned at all. More interested in the immaculate conception of someone confirmed by scan to have not ovulated... how far along are you now?

@GreenApplesYo thank you! The symptoms are starting to kick in stronger than I thought they would. I do consider myself 6 weeks today, despite dating scan putting me at 5+3, and the nausea started to really ramp up yesterday - before that it was more a lack of appetite. The first week or so after I found out I was just exhausted and then awake at 3.30am every night. That seems to have settled, so swings and roundabouts! I saw your scan, I can't believe you're in week 13 already - scan looks amazing 😍

@Dex1521 and @positivitytree2020 sending lots of luck to you both, excited for you to get your BFPs. And for us all to have healthy, sticky beans 🍀

@CardioQueen woaaaahhh what amazing news!! That's incredible 🙂 brilliant you got to see the little bean. Have you got any symptoms now? I think my nausea kicked in about 6wks. It went at about 9wks though, I was lucky.

@Foxl2222 that's a definite BFP. Congratulations 🎉🎉how exciting. Are you going to tell anyone, or keep it quiet for a while?

Eek what a morning! I've really got a smile on my face after 2 BFPs.

@Dex1521 @positivitytree2020 hope you get yours soon as well 🙂hang in there!

@Dex1521 Wow not many of us left! 🙈 oh okay so you’ve have had 2 AF’s since coming off the pill? That’s not too bad, fingers crossed third time lucky! 🤞🏼
I’ve had 4, well just waiting on it, want it to hurry up so I can get onto Cycle 5! 😂
Once I hit Cycle 6 I’ll start getting worried! 😢

I’m the same just dip in and out of here, the 2ish weeks between AF and waiting to ovulate is so boring so I never come on coz as I’d start obsessing otherwise! 🙈

@positivitytree2020 least we have each other think there is maybe 4 of us I can’t remember now 😂 I’m onto my 4th month of trying CD 10 and BBT and OPKs started Monday. But technically it’s my “first” cycle as I’ve took forever to have a withdrawal bleed and first AF after pill but each cycle I’ve tracked since coming off the pill I’ve ovulated so I could’ve had a chance to fall pg I feel.
I feel a lot more relaxed about it this month and when I get to the tww it’s seems to work for people to forget about it and get on with life so going to start doing something to keep me distracted lol. It’s helped also not getting carried away with temps and OPKs and I feel that’s because I have had a couple of days off mumsnet and the internet but I’m so glad I opened it this morning to see all the good news!!

Congrats @CardioQueen such a wonderful outcome for you, so happy!! ☺️ Please keep us updated and let us know how you are getting on! 🥰

@Foxl2222 wooo that looks very positive, congrats!! 🥳🥳 keep us posted on line progression over next few days!! 😃

@Bells20 haha I just don’t want to waste a test when I know I’m not, those things aren’t cheap! 😂

@Dex1521 nope your not the only one, I’m still left! Waiting for AF to head into Cycle 5! 😒 how many cycles are you on?

Wow all these BFPs in one night. I know I said I was staying away from mumsnet but just by chance I thought I’d have a nosey at what everyone was doing. Congrats to both of you @CardioQueen and @Foxl2222.

How many of us are left still ttc? Feel like the only one lol let’s hope this is my month 🤞✨

@Foxl2222 ahhh even more good news this morning!!! I would agree with you that definitely looks like a BFP to me! How amazing! Have you told OH?

@positivitytree2020 your willpower not to test is enviable 😂 you never know I think stranger things have happened haha but if you are 8dpo I'm hoping for that nice LP length for you this month!

@CardioQueen wow!! this is fantastic news!!! Delighted for you !! What a lovely surprise☺️😍xx

I think it's safe to say we have a BFP🙊🙊!!! Delighted!! 🥳☺️❤️🙌 now to hope and pray that all works out. Flo has my period predicted as due Friday and pre mom says Sunday. I reckon pre mom is more accurate as that's where I posted the opks. So still a few days to go🤞🤞 xx

Oh my god @CardioQueen that is the best news ever!!! I can completely understand why you've been feeling anxious, especially given the strong responses from doctors but sounds like things are looking really positive for now! I woke up feeling a bit blah this morning and that has really put a smile on my face!! Such incredible news congratulations and hoping your scan goes well in feb! Please do keep us updated xx

Also, I think re: drinking and weights etc, I always think about the women who have no idea they're pregnant until they give birth and still have healthy babies! It must happen all the time especially in that early phase!

Hi all - happy new year ☺️ hope everyone had a nice (quiet) Christmas and is keeping healthy.

I said I would touch base again in Jan after my ovary & tubal patency check, however that is no longer happening as a couple of weeks ago I got a BFP. It was a bit of a shock as the fertility specialist had (very confidently) confirmed I hadn't ovulated after I'd got a positive OPK and rise in BBT. He had told me how these were not reliable tracking methods for someone with irregular cycles like me. My GP agreed with him. I wasn't even bothered by my TWW as I had felt this element of relief knowing things weren't working but we were going to fix them in the new year.

I rang my GP in a bit of a panic as I'd drank at my work Xmas do, deadlifted my PB at double my body weight, just generally not acted like I was even possibly pregnant. She sent me off for HCG tests (and a crap ton of other blood tests) a week apart and it rose from 471 to 5379. I had a dating scan done on Monday and it was tracking at 5w1d - I calculated it as 5w5d so we will see if it catches up. It had a little heartbeat which was a bit on the slow side, 99bpm, but within normal for that early I believe.

I have a 'reassurance scan' booked for 5th Feb and if all looks well I will get my Harmony test done on 8th Feb.

I have been too nervous to even write on here as I can only think of all the things that can go wrong...but now I've spoken to GP today and know that I'm getting no more scans or tests for a month, I think it would be good to have people to talk to rather than Googling things and driving myself demented!

I hope everyone is well ✨
