@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@CShandy01 Hey, yeah defo stay on here😊 feeling ok except slight hangover! I had few days of full aches and maybe about an hour or two of them yesterday and nothing today. CD22 and 7/8dpo now

hoola23 · 31/10/2021 20:30

@CShandy01 of course you have to stay on here!!! I can't wait until we're ALL talking about our pregnancy rather than TTC!

I feel like I'm still having twinges this evening but not as much as yesterday. They're so mild and sporadic that I actually don't know anymore. I'm lowering my bet to £4 from £5 now 🤣🤣🤣

@CShandy01 first midwife appointment on weds. I'm glad actually as I've had the most significant amount of brown spotting today. I know it's most likely nothing especially after the scan last week but I can't help but feel sad and anxious! Physically I'm feeling horrific-really struggling, which I guess is positive! Xxx how are you?! Any symptoms yet!? X

Also please can I stay on this thread?? I've found talking with huh guys so helpful you have NO idea 🙂🙂 got me through the darkest times when I just wanted to shut up the front shop for good! Xxx

CShandy01 · 31/10/2021 20:03

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been a bit MIA. Been manic today even though DD was having a sleep over with the in-laws!!

@newtolineofduty how are you doing? Have you had your first midwife appointment yet?

@MrsRosaline how's everything going with you chick? You're absolutely right - I think chilling out really really helped this month. That and I definitely think the pregnacare helped 🙂🙂

@hoola23 @Aims1991 how are you both doing? Any new twinges or inclinations? Will you guys test early do you think?

@plantbasedlondoner are you sure you didn't ovulate chick? Have you used OPK's? Xx

hoola23 · 31/10/2021 13:03

@plantbasedlondoner why do you think there was no ovulation hun?

plantbasedlondoner · 31/10/2021 12:34

@CShandy01 ah I was out yesterday and didn't check this thread but just saw the AMAZING news! I'm so thrilled for you hun, such lovely news and it must all still be sinking in. I feel like you had a little inkling too this month with the implantation spotting :) Really happy for you and yes as @hoola23 says, there is not much of an issue until the placenta attaches so don't worry about the booze and just look ahead now!

I'm definitely out this month, pretty sure that I didn't even ovulate and have been very stressed but I'm determined to get back onto it next cycle once AF is here in a week x

hoola23 · 31/10/2021 12:31

@Aims1991 hope you feel better! Yeah zero happening today for me either, jeans were clearly
Just too tight yesterday🤣 I'm either 6dpo or 8/9 today

Aims1991 · 31/10/2021 12:18

@hoola23 I'm a little hungover from a family party. No more cramps or anything today. Now cd22 and 7dpo. How are you

hoola23 · 31/10/2021 10:59

@Aims1991 how you feeling today? Yesterday I convinced myself I was feeling things, today thinking maybe my jeans were just too tight 🤣

Aims1991 · 31/10/2021 10:24

@CShandy01 just catching up from yesterday. Amazing news💖

@hoola23 yes you're totally right there! X

@newtolineofduty knowing my luck it will be nothing and AF will arrive like the annoying pain that it is! If it does, I won't be too annoyed as I really didn't try this month. It's the months I put in so much work that really piss me off!

Eek @hoola23 that's so exciting!!!!!!!! Xxx

hoola23 · 30/10/2021 18:44

@CShandy01 AF should be here by 7th nov. I really don't want to test but I can't promise I won't. I don't have any tests in the house but I may test next weekend if I'm still thinking positively!

hoola23 · 30/10/2021 18:43

@newtolineofduty only 5dpo or possibly 7dpo. Really not sure this month. I just have that feeling, plus definite cramping which is way too early for me. Current bet is £5 I am pregnant, I'll see if I increase the stakes each day🤣

Eeeeeeeeeeeeek @CShandy01 only three weeks behind me!!!!!!!!! Thanks hun-I just want to fast forward to the 12 week scan. Might have to book in a private reassurance scan for week 9 or something! X

OP posts:
CShandy01 · 30/10/2021 18:26

Thanks everyone 💖💖 @hoola23 keeping my fingers crossed for you! When is AF due? Will you test early? I think when you know you know!

@newtolineofduty well if I count from the 1st day of my last period, I'll be 4 weeks exactly on Monday 🙂🙂 don't worry too much about brown spotting - brown is good as it means it's old blood.

@CShandy01 yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooooooooo exciting hun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does that put you at 4 weeks exactly!?

@hoola23 that sounds very exciting!!!!! How many DPO?

I've had some brown spotting today but trying to stay calm xxx

@CShandy01 it's all those positive vibes!! Congratulations xx

hoola23 · 30/10/2021 17:21

@CShandy01 good results! Proves opk are really not important!! Well done! Oh you'll be fine, baby doesn't take from you just yet anyway right?! Best news since @newtolineofduty

I'm bloody hope my prediction is right too! I defo feel something going on and it's way too early for AF cramps!

CShandy01 · 30/10/2021 17:08

@hoola23 it seems like ages but this was only cycle 5. Second month of using absolutely no tests of any kind to predict ovulation. First month of pregnacare 🙂

God now I'm worried as I got hammered these last few days AND I ate pate 😂😂 xx

hoola23 · 30/10/2021 17:00

@CShandy01 I will let you off but only because it's positive 🤣🤣🤣 oh babe I'm so bloody happy for you!!! How many months was it in total? Xx

CShandy01 · 30/10/2021 16:58

@StillJustWaiting thank you!! 🙂🙂 I'm desperately not getting my hopes up yet until that first scan. I think I will try the "ignorance is bliss" route that I had last time with DD as I didn't really seem to worry about anything, but equally, I just took each day as it came.

CShandy01 · 30/10/2021 16:56

@hoola23 in my defence, it's because we've spent £75 on booze for tonight and I genuinely didn't want to get smashed if there was a chance 😂😂

Weird how life works - buried my grandad on Thursday and that's when I think I had a bit of implantation bleeding!

Feeling a bit shell shocked but obviously over the moon. Sobbed on DH's shoulder when I saw. Think he cried a bit but had a huge smile. Then he said "oh god this is going to be harder this time round isn't it?!" Now he seems to be planning the birth already....men! 😩😩
