@BiscuitLover3678 8 dpo is soo early yet we can't stop ourselves 🙈
Back from Dublin! Didn't go overboard except for spending too many euros but I don't feel much of anything AF or preg symptoms🤷‍♀️

Caved and tested, only 8dpo and around 6 days before period is due (so basically 7 days before missed period, so too early anyway). But I feel like there should be something faint right? Maybe not. Don’t have my hopes up either way! I’ll test again tomorrow probably.

@SurfWaves

I'm waiting for Ov should be in the next few days - hoping this is our month.
Same here! Are you using ovulation tests?
Nik84 · 19/02/2022 10:21

I tested this morning although I don’t know exactly where in my cycle I would be 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think I can see a shadow of a line but I’m not getting my hopes up x

Anyone testing this morning??

Congrats on your BFP @Autumn09 and thanks for sharing!

Hi ladies, I hope you don’t mind me joining!
I feel so blessed to have got my BFP this week and being a regular stalker of these threads, I just wanted to share my experience in the hope it will help someone else on their TTC journey.
I’ve been off contraception for over a year but actively trying for about 3 months. This month I used the clear blue fertility monitor and would really recommend! It isn’t cheap but for me was worth every penny as showed I was ovulating a lot earlier than my apps suggested. I’ve used cheapies before but could never tell which day was peak.
So far I haven’t had any symptoms but still very early days (15dpo).
Sending lots of baby dust and best wishes to you all x

Congratulations @MrsSamRowley!!

MrsSamRowley · 18/02/2022 19:04

@Cheekypeach I've already been taking folic acid and vitamin D but I'll definitely be more disciplined with eating well now...and yes no wine for a while...wahhhh!

@BiscuitLover3678 it's so hard to know if I had actual symptoms or was just hyper alert to every little thing but I have had cramps since yesterday which were a bit early for AF cramps. Generally tired and headaches but I put that down to having a toddler!

Charl881 · 18/02/2022 18:50

@BiscuitLover3678 I’m in the drink until it’s pink camp! To be honest going off wine was my earliest sign with my son. I didn’t track ovulation that cycle but must have only been about 8dpo, had one glass and felt awful the next morning. I’m 5dpo today and having a glass or two! But ultimately you need to do what you feel comfortable with.

I’m 8dpo, don’t feel any different! On third cycle TTC. I’m fancying a bit of wine. What do you think ladies?
With my first I was so healthy and so careful and now look at me! Blush

@MrsSamRowley

Thanks ladies - I don't know what to do with myself!
Did you have a feeling something was different! And whatever you enjoy 😁 in moderation of course (and probably no wine!)

I imagine put the wine away and buy a pregnancy vitamin! Congrats on the first group BFP Flowers looks like you’re graduating to the due in October group?!

@MrsSamRowley Yesssssssss! Congratulations! Xx

@MrsSamRowley

Caved and tested on an IC just now at 10dpo...can you all see a 2nd line??
Yes! Congratulations!
Charl881 · 18/02/2022 09:46

@BiscuitLover3678 yeah the waiting for AF when you’re pretty sure you’re negative is frustrating. I waste so much money on tests! Was never like this when TTC DS, that or I’ve just blanked it out.

Charl881 · 18/02/2022 09:45

@MrsSamRowley that’s a proper positive! A FRER would show even without FMU I reckon. Congratulations, how exciting.

MrsGrealish · 18/02/2022 09:22

Awww congrats @MrsSamRowley!! First pregnancy of our group? 😘

smiles39 · 18/02/2022 07:50

Congrats @MrsSamRowley🥳🥳

MiaKay · 18/02/2022 07:23

I'll test around the end of November I suppose, if AF arrives on time or if AF arrives at all I have been so nauseous these past few days and I want to test tomorrow and Monday, because AF is expected on Monday. I'm not very optimistic about being pregnant though, despite the nausea, because it's too early for such symptoms, it could be simpley stress or hormones going crazy due to PMS. Anyway, @BiscuitLover3678 that calendar is such a cool idea! As soon as AF arrives, I will roughly know the date I'll test and add my name. Baby dust to all of you! ❤️❤️❤️

MrsSamRowley · 18/02/2022 07:09

Thanks ladies - going to confirm with a FRER tomorrow. Can't believe it!

Coastaldreamer · 18/02/2022 07:08

@MrsSamRowley didn't even need to zoom in!! Congratulations x

Bubblesandballoons · 18/02/2022 07:07

I see it!! 🎉 congrats @MrsSamRowley
