Hey everyone.

So we started trying for our 3rd baby last month. First day of period was 17th August. I had some cramping yesterday but it was mild. Due my next period Thursday. I have no idea when to test! Do I test early and risk disappointment or do I continue to wait?!

HR2022 · 21/07/2022 12:22

@Blondewave unsure yet - need to speak to DH to decide haha πŸ˜†

Aww that's ideal for you that you are a midwife too I guess!

I assumed that would be the case with not seeing them for a while! Just really hoping the little peanut sticks it out! I will no doubt also be booking a private scan too for reassurance!

To be honest I definitely think ignorance is bliss sometimes. I’m a huge hypochondriac I think due to the things I’ve seen πŸ˜‚ when will you book your early scan? I’ve booked window to the womb and I’ll be around 7 weeks 5 days x

@Sunshine0987 aww fingers crossed for you!!

@Blondewave try not to compare you pregnancies every single one is different! 😊 similar stage to me... I'm sure you'll be saying otherwise next week when you get passed 6 weeks!

Have you spoken to a midwife yet? I rang mine and they said to wait until I'm 8 weeks and call them back! Feels like such a long wait to find out everything is ok πŸ˜…

yeah I’ve been cleaning my house like crazy trying to get everything prepared for the sickness if it does hit next week like I’m expecting πŸ˜‚
yes I spoke to Midwife last week and I’m booked in for 2 weeks time where I’ll be about 7/8 weeks. All trusts are different tho. I’m actually a midwife myself and aslong as they book you in before 10 weeks for booking in appointment to do routine bloods and get you booked for the important 12 week scan, it’s fine so don’t worry. Before 8 weeks anything can happen really so midwives don’t really get involved until it’s progressed a little. I’ve booked a reassurance scan privately tho at 8 weeks for this reason πŸ˜‚ x

How's all my fellow BFP ladies getting on?

Anyone else at similar stage to me? I'm 5 weeks today (supposedly)! Don't have any symptoms at the moment apart from fatigued.. my boobs have stopped aching so much now.. pending week 6 where it apparently gets a whole lot worse 🀒.

Sending love to all those still awaiting their BFPs too 🌺 xx

Hello I’m 5 weeks 5 days. Apart from sore boobs no symptoms. Concerning me as previous pregnancy’s I’ve felt soooo so sick however maybe it’s still early. I think sickness / enhanced smell used to start for me at week 6 and was at its peak week 8/9 xx

Sunshine0987 · 20/07/2022 17:40

@HR2022 oh no really?! I'm still potentially in for March 23 (just 🀣). AF is due tomorrow, did some early tests a few days ago which were BFNs but I have a lot of potential pregnancy symptoms so fingers crossed. Will know for sure soon!

Ah just seen your post that af has arrived now @Charl881 sorry you're out - we're quite close for this cycle I'm only CD3 (and actually peed on a one step pregnancy test this morning just to make sure, even though I'm definitely on my period - what is actually wrong with me!)

Tropicana1 · 18/07/2022 16:01

@Charl881 I spent like Β£8.99 on 100 cheap one step pregnancy tests to satisfy my ridiculous testing urges. Didn't waste a single frer last cycle because of them and only wasted the ones I did this cycle because of stupid indents!
Not testing early is definitely the more sensible option though 🀣

Wouldloveanother · 18/07/2022 13:35

I’ve just started using the Fertilily! Literally a few days ago. Make sure you read the instructions as you have to boil it in an open top pan before first use (honestly that was a weird ttc moment for me!), I would also advise having a practice run with it before using after dtd - I use it with a dollop of preseed which REALLY helps, I don’t think I could use it comfortably without lube! But it’s not as scary as it looks and once it’s in you can’t feel it.

I did go to the shops but both boots and Superdrug had sold out of the cheap strip opks and just had the fancy pregnancy test style ones - minimum Β£10, so I didn’t bother and ended up buying a load of fake tan instead πŸ€ͺ I may pick some up in the supermarket later if there is any, but not if DH can see - I haven’t told him I’m tracking etc, i keep it private because I don’t want to stress him out with β€˜performing’.

just keep visualising a nice strong BFP, and remember the anxiety that very faint lines can give you!

Charl881 · 18/07/2022 13:04

I think if it won’t effect when you DTD then don’t worry about it.

I’ve just ordered some clear blue OPKs for next cycle and something called a Fertilily. I’ve told myself it’s better to throw money at fertility stuff rather than pregnancy tests… just need to be strong now on not buying tests

Charl881 · 18/07/2022 07:28

AF is here! Very relieved she’s not made me wait another day. Onto another month where there will be absolutely no early testing!

@MrsGrealish hope you’re feeling a bit better today and AF makes an appearance too.

I’ll help you stay strong charl πŸ’ͺ🏻

CD11 here, pretty sure today’s my surge but I’ve run out of OPKS 😱 not sure whether to pop to the shop at lunchtime or to just leave it? It won’t really affect when we DTD etc as we will just keep going every day or every other day so πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

MrsGrealish · 18/07/2022 10:59

@Charl881 CD1 here too and in fact right on time. Good luck for April!

@Perexi better than this time yesterday when I was timing painkillers πŸ˜… thanks for asking xx

Perexi · 17/07/2022 22:03

MrsGrealish · 17/07/2022 21:53

@Perexi that looks positive! Had to go and have a talk with myself there about not using my last FRER tonight after seeing the picture but congrats! ❀️

Oh no sorry!

Just been catching up with this thread as its been super busy! Hope you're feeling better today?

MrsGrealish · 17/07/2022 22:01

FRER anonymous. Love hate relationship. Hate at the moment, never wanna pee on one again πŸ˜…

Charl881 · 17/07/2022 21:56

@MrsGrealish its actually like an addiction isn’t it!

Charl881 · 17/07/2022 20:26

@MrsGrealish thats the worst isn’t it! Ironically I think I only weed on one FRER with my DS and that was my BFP. Oh for that willpower now. Amazon has a lot to answer for.

MrsGrealish · 17/07/2022 19:34

The last time I ordered them it popped up how many times I had ordered the item and I was absolutely mortified.
