🧙Witch day did I ovulate?!🧙

More fantastic new @SareBear87 - so happy for you.

@Peachycream look after yourself and do what feels right for you. Sending virtual hugs xx

Awwww congratulations @SareBear87 !!
So lovely to see some bfps ❤

Oh my God!! @SareBear87 congratulations... definitely a line!!! I'm so excited for you both!! Cycle twins!!!!

I'm imaging him dropping your pee stick in his soup now!

@Sparklingwine1 I literally feel exactly the same as your post, I think it's totally normal so love to you again @Peachycream ❤ take as much time as you need you know we will all be here.

I had some weird panic this week about how we haven't decorated some of the house properly yet and have I done this that and the other, I'm meant to be a bridesmaid next April what if I'm still weighty if I fall pregnant, will he be okay with minding the baby etc etc and my OH had to calm me down about life. He's so laid back he's almost horizontal which helps me a lot 🤣

Aw that would be lovely to tell him at dinner! I’d love to know how you end up telling him, keep us in the loop @SareBear87

Would you go as far as taking the test in your bag 😂

Just to echo what @Sparklingwine1 said @Peachycream I honestly know that feeling. Like I could have written your post.

My DP and I had a chat a few days ago about just stopping for a cycle or two, enjoying the summer and re-starting when I felt ready as it is so consuming. I was making myself ill and my heart was falling out of my chest on a monthly basis.

Love and hugs xx

Thank you ladies! I'm sitting in front of my computer just staring in disbelief (working from home today! THANK GOD!).

DP has gone into work and is out with friends tonight so I'm tempted to hold off telling him until we are out for dinner tomorrow evening... 🤔

Sending you a virtual hug @Peachycream

As I said before I found the first cycle really hard. It became a bit too all consuming. But then after a while I became more chilled.

Also I think there's a big difference between talking about TTC and then actually doing it! It can be a bit scary! The first month we TTC I had moments of panic like 'omg am I really ready for this?'... 'maybe I need more money saved'... 'do I really want to sacrifice my sleep yet?'... I think these thoughts and emotions are normal and are really heightened in that first month TTC.

There's nothing wrong with needing a bit more time to adjust to the idea of TTC or a bit of space from all the obsessing over ovulation, LH levels and pee!

I think we all find it quite a scary and overwhelming time in our lives and it can definitely be a rollercoaster

Xxx

@SareBear87 - it depends when you implanted so you can’t really compare to others at the same DPO. ☺️

@SareBear87 misread your DPO 😂 but that’s still an unmistakable positive :)

@SareBear87 another BFP!!! That’s strong at 9DPO. Mine still looked negative even at 12DPO, wasn’t until 15 that I got my BFP.

Congratulations!!!!!

Omg @SareBear87 that is deffo a line!!!!!

Apparently FRERs don't have indents either so I would take this as a BFP! Do you have a digi you could also use?

I am so very happy for you. I remember you saying at the start of the thread this was your 7th or 8th cycle?

Honestly seeing BFPs on this group completely feels me with happiness and gives me hope and excitement 😁

BFP😂*

@PurpleCat88 I (think) 10dpo, possibly 11.

Should it not be a stronger line? I know it was my millionth pee of the day but still!

This was our 7th cycle and I had totally prepared myself for a BFN!

Omg 100% see the line! Congrats on your BFB @SareBear87 what a lucky week we’ve had!! ❤️

@SareBear87 I deffo see a line! Congrats lovely :)

@SareBear87 🙀that’s a line!! Congrats! 🤩 How many DPO are you? X

Morning ladies!

I need you eyes!!

So this morning (around 5am) I POAS, just a cheapie, thought it was blank so chucked it in the bin and went back to bed. 5 hours later I was having my 8th pee of the day (still have cystitis although now on antibiotics) and checked the test (I know, I know!) and freaked!

So grabbed my FRER....

You see what I see right?!

(Bottom is the 5am, top came up in like 1min!)

Hey @GingerTea333 you're not out until the witch arrives!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you as you never know :) everyone's bodies behave differently from what I'm gauging, never feels like one hat fits all in terms of dpo symptoms. 💗💗
My rhr upped yesterday but only by 1bpm and has remained at this for today so far too but I've not been religiously wearing it this cycle so who knows what's going on :) I'm just trying to remain positive as possible!

So sorry you're feeling that way @Peachycream 😔 I totally get what you mean and never apologise for feeling how you feel we are all here to support each other as much we can. If time away makes you feel better do whatever you need, sending lots of love 💘

Morning everyone. I’m now 7 dpo and basically think I’m already out as my cm has disappeared and my heart rate has completely dropped). At least it means I’m not tempted to test and I’m just waiting for 🧙‍♀️ to come next week.

On the not drinking, could you have a glass of wine in front of you and occasionally pretend to drink from it / get your OH to do it when no ones looking? And you can say you accidentally got super drunk the night before and are still hungover so don’t want to drink much?

I can get overwhelming @Peachycream I know how you feel. Also talking about it all the time is consuming, so some time away from here might be good for you.
Hope you come back feeling better 🥰

@KayL1988 I think you should do the honours as you’ve just had your BFP you should be the representative for the Friday update! 🤰

I think this was mentioned in this group or another thread I was reading.. but most places you order on apps now as staff won’t serve you at the bar! So order non alcoholic mocktails to look like cocktails! I thought that was genius 😂

Morning all! How is everyone today? So lovely about your bfp @KayL1988 although I agree excuses are difficult to come up with!

I am either 11 or 12 DPO - Still no sign of the 🧙‍♀️ for me, had some light cramps, backache and the smallest bit of spotting when wiping yesterday, thought she was arriving but dry pad this morning and nothing when I checked myself earlier 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ my gums also bled a bit when I brushed which never happens so that's a weird one unless I caught it on the brush. I feel like I'm learning so much and so little about my body at the same time haha anyone else feel like that? Im still gonna give it to this weekend and if no sign will use my last FRER...yikes!!
