Valentines, pancakes, BFPs etc thread 2

Feeling a bit weird about ttc this month, can't really explain it though. Back to feeling like it's never going to happen I guess, really think I'm out this month as I mucked up with OPKs so don't even know when/if I've O'ved

@Bringonbaby3 ahh it’s so difficult isn’t it! How many dpo are you? Good luck! Ttc definitely turns even the most sane people crazy🤦🏻‍♀️

I imagine symptoms too! Currently 6dpo and convincing myself I feel nauseated even though I know that’s impossible!

For me, sore boobs/cramps is more of a sign that AF is coming than pregnancy as I get that every month.

@Diamondbabe thank you! I think it’s just I feel really deflated, especially being officially a year since ttc! Started feb21! Each cycle I have imagined all sorts of symptoms and it’s come to nothing, so that could be a good sign I suppose! I’m just feeling really rubbish about it all today! I have everything crossed and I’ll test on Thursday! AF is due Saturday/Sunday!

@Peonies94 with both pregnancies I had no symptoms, I just tested a few days before I was due on. Definitely not out just because you don't have anything x

I have absolutely decided I’m testing Thursday! It’s going to be negative and is early days, but my thinking is :- I already feel like I am ‘out’ and by testing earlier I can break the news to myself gently, if you know what I mean? I’ll continue to test a few times then before AF is due! I need to stop putting my whole life on hold for this though, it’s been a year and I feel totally crazy and obsessed with it! I spend my life on MN and wishing and dreaming about everything pregnancy/baby related!!

@Decaffe sending best wishes to you!!

Congratulations @HelloNope 🎉❤️

And they keep coming!! 😁 Well done everyone, so lovely 🥰

11dpo here and still a Big Fat Nope 😂

And another one! Congrats @HelloNope!

It's my wedding anniversary today and my ovulation day so hoping it's good luck for me!

@HelloNope ahh that’s good to hear! I hate doing things like that too! But you got a positive so that’s amazing! Mine are due to arrive Saturday, so if I am negative this month I’ll keep them until a cycle I get a line I’m unsure about! At least I’ll have them here then. I’ve avoided them in the past as I’ll just pee on sticks all over the place, but I’ve found if I hide them in another room, I can’t reach them when I wee, so then can be avoided!!

I’d maybe tell him after his night of drinking! Maybe on the weekend or if you both have a day off of work together coming up, that’s what I’d probably do! Exciting though! You’ll have to let us know when and how you do it!

@TheBirdintheCave You're right it is a bit daft, and we don't actually have any plans for it! I'll have a think about what to do.
I don't want to tell him today as he's going out drinking tonight and he will definitely tell someone! Haha

@Peonies94 It's a good idea to have one in the house for when you test, I had to go buy that one. I couldn't see where they were on the shelves so I had to ask the pharmacist and she kept saying "sorry I can't hear you, what?" In the end I said "WHERE ARE YOUR CLEARBLUE DIGITAL PREGNANCY TESTS?!"
Then everyone knew I was going home to pee on a stick.

I've just checked my Flo App and my luteal phase has either been 8 or 9 days since August, from what I've read 10days and over is good!

Good luck for when you test I will be watching and hoping to see more BFP's here.

@HelloNope hope it sticks! How long is your LP? Mine is 10 days! Good luck!!

@HelloNope ahh that’s amazing! So much better seeing it in writing isn’t it! I have a CB digital on order due for delivery! I haven’t even tested yet but I thought if I do, I’ll want to test the next day on one of these if I do get a line that I can’t make out! I didn’t realise the CB worked so early on! Ahh amazing!! So happy for you!!

@HelloNope Ah I see! :) I hope this is a sticky bean for you

@TheBirdintheCave
We've being 'seeing what happens' since august but really 'going for it' since Jan! 😅
I actually think I could still miscarry due to my short luteal phase and possible low progesterone but I guess only time will tell.
I'm planning on waiting until Valentine's Day to tell DH but now I'm worried that if I start bleeding before then I'll be very upset and have to tell him everything. Not sure what to do!

What cycle number was this @HelloNope? Great to see it in writing!

I am still shocked :)
I'm either 10 or 11dpo. Had very sore boobs from ovulation to now, and terrible acne when I don't usually get spots. All similar to period symptoms really!

Checking in, ovulation apparently due tomorrow!

Ahh congratulations @jadew88 @Cookiedough123 - the lucky thread continues! Fingers crossed for the rest of us ladies!

I see those without zooming in @HelloNope Congrats! :D

@HelloNope how many DPO are you?x

@Natalie2304 Sorry to hear you've started spotting :(

@mightbeyesmightbeno I tested yesterday and it was BFN. Try again tomorrow x

@mightbeyesmightbeno ahh it’s so hard isn’t it! Just test again tomorrow or Thursday with FMU!

Wishing all our testers the best of luck today!!
