TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

@pugsB no problem at all lovely! I was 8dpo when I got my very faint positive on an FRER , it was visible and could pick it up on camera, it was just faint! You can implant anywhere from 5-12 dpo xxx

@Nypie thank you and good luck with the coming cycle x
@pugsB this month I was really stressed with other things, took a few ovulation sticks, wasn't ahem as busy with my other half as the previous cycle, didn't update my app properly and then was driving back from work one day and calculated that I was already around 14dpo so tested. The cycle before I had got a bit obsessed and was so convinced I was pregnant and has tested from around 7dpo. I haven't had much recent luck with pregnancies (although I have a child so lucky in that respect). I seem to be able to get pregnant but not to keep them - so really hope this goes better x

Aw so glad to hear you and kidney bean are keeping well!! @TheCakeIsALie18 Looking forward to seeing pics.

Congrats @Greymalkin12 !!

@eleveneleven11 when do you think you'll go for the scan! Aw that sounds stressful but little bean is not hooked up to your blood stream yet so no guilt for you!

Just now carching up with older messages properly. Seem to have missed your @xttcbabyno1x : Nice to meet you! Sorry to hear about the infection but also glad to know you are handling it and the pregnancy is going smooth!

May i know which dpo you got your first respective positives @xttcbabyno1x @TheCakeIsALie18 @Greymalkin12 . I have a rough sense of this for the recent positives but would like to know about yours to build the statistics in my head..haha

@eleveneleven11 that documentary is about what the sperms have to endure from ejaculation to finally meeting the egg. it actually made us do the test. Ya, alteast we know the numbers are OK. will get more serious testing if nothing happens in another 6 months or so. Thanks for sharing. 4 cycles is super fast! Yes, both of us are committed to more BD-ing even if we have to skip making dinner..😂

@pugsB thank you and nice to meet you! All the best for the coming cycle xx

@Hannargh @TheCakeIsALie18 @Greymalkin12 thanks for all the birthday wishes 🥰

@pugsB yeah i'm doing really well thank you! yes this will be my first 😊 and got lucky on the fourth cycle trying and tracking. i've not heard of that documentary - what is it?! i'm guessing it's about conception haha.
i noticed those at home sperm tests today in boots when stocking up on pregnancy tests. so cool that you can get stuff like that in the shops! it's so nice to be able to have that peace of mind that your OH's swimmers are all in working order lol 😅
enjoy the BD-ing! we did it 3 times this cycle including the day i got my peak on opks and the day after.
get those early nights scheduled in 🤣 x

@eleveneleven11 thanks dear ☺️. Yeah looking forward to this cycle! How are you doing? Is this your first (sorry forgot if you mentioned it earlier)?

Me and DH watched the great sperm race documentary yesterday and went woaaa! Also did an at home sperm check which thankfully came back positive. Plan on BD-ing more this cycle during fertile window. Only could do it once in those 5-6 days last cycle. He has to go to work super early in the morning so if we don't make it to bed early its not gonna happen..haha..Now I feel like we should have made the most of work-from-home luxury we had last few years..sigh 😒

@TheCakeIsALie18 @Greymalkin12 Nice to meet you ladies and congratulations @Greymalkin12 !

@Hannargh aww thank you I remember you from last cycle and congrats! I think 15dpo today

@eleveneleven11 thank you and happy birthday for yesterday!

@TheCakeIsALie18 thank you, glad that your pregnancy is going well x

@Greymalkin12 ah that's lovely news to come back to, congratulations! How many DPO are you?

@eleveneleven11 sounds like you managed it as best you could - but hope you had fun anyway!

@Nypie thanks for the well wishes! off to buy a load more tests today so i can relive that positive result buzz for a few weeks until we can have an early scan! x

@pugsB thank you! hope this fresh cycle is YOUR cycle! fingers crossed AF treats you ok and clears off quickly so you can get back to it :) x

@TheCakeIsALie18 hey, great to hear from you! pleased to report that i have joined the pregnancy train as of yesterday at a very early 4 weeks :) at 13/14 dpo i think. so glad to hear everything is going well for you! that 12 week mark has come round nice and quickly. have you told many people? x

@Hannargh as lovely as it would be to wait until his birthday i feel like that would be near enough impossible!! such a special early present for him though :) x

@Greymalkin12 ahhh amazing! massive congrats! this really is the luckiest thread. how are you feeling? x

i had my 30th birthday night out last night and wow it was a struggle! couldn't relax at all and ended up having to do 2 shots because i literally couldn't avoid them. but otherwise i don't think anyone realised i wasn't drinking. i was the first one to go home after just 3 hours out so naturally got a lot of grief 🤣

Just rejoining this thread I was on last cycle to say got the two lines today! X

@TheCakeIsALie18 haha I've really only just found out. Saw a hint of a line at 10DPO but couldn't deny it any more this morning (15DPO). I'm 4 days late for AF. So we will see where this goes!

Thanks @xttcbabyno1x hope you are doing well my lovely xx

And thanks @Nypie and @pugsB - sorry to hear AF arrived today but good news about the ovulating!

@eleveneleven11 ah that's so sweet about DH. I told mine straight away too. It's his birthday next weekend so wondered if i might wait but I just ended up blurting it out anyway especially as he knew AF was late.

Hey @TheCakeIsALie18 - good to hear from you again! I guess one of those bfps is me? So weird to say that! Technically 4+3 so not far at all. That's good about the nausea - my sister in law had bad nausea from about week 5 and I'm not a fan of that happening😅
That's wonderful you'll have a full scan soon and that everything is just ticking away. Hopefully those measurements come out stronger in the next one. Looking forward to your update xx

@eleveneleven11 happy 30th btw!

Coming back here after a crazy work week and to such good news!!! Congratulations @Shleepymummy @eleveneleven11 @Hannargh 💃🏻🥳🥳. So happy for you guys! Keep us updated!

AF has arrived for me just today--so onto next cycle now! I am relieved to know that I CAN ovulate..lol atleast as much as at home testing can tell me. Sorry to hear some more of us are also out this cycle. Good luck to us this time around!

Aw @eleveneleven11congratulations!! So sweet to hear your dp had a little cry! And love that you're going to let yoursel be excited its a beautiful moment and a priceless 30th bday gift!

It happeneddd congrats @Hannargh Your test looks beautifubl. Everything crossed for a sticky bean and I hope like @eleveneleven11 you can enjoy this moment!

@ttcfirstbaby90 you are making me laugh, tbh we have to apeciate those positives where ever we see them. I aldo use the sticks but won't be this cycle am reading book that says its morr important to pay attention to fertile signs like cm and as I know around the time that I ovulate and the sticks stressed me out last time I'm just going to try and pay closer attention this month

Where have all the pregnant ladies gone @TheCakeIsALie18 hope you're okay!

@ttcfirstbaby90 yeah i rate using the strips!
thank you so so much 🥰 i'd love to keep you updated with progress. i'll definitely be sticking around in this lucky thread to cheer everyone else on! having this outlet during the TTW especially really kept me sane x

@ttcfirstbaby90 so if you got a flashing you can either test daily with them and see when you get your peak solid, you might just have flashing for a good few days. Or to save sticks you can use the cheap ones and once they get stronger go back to digital one in a few days. Just to save having to look at a flashing smiley for days on end. The holder will now be waiting for a rise in LH hormone compared to now to show that peak. I also used cervical mucus to help tell, once it got like egg white I would use cheapies to see what was happening. Certainly a learning curve and took me months conceiving my first and now 3/4 cycles with this pregnancy!

@Shleepymummy ahhh maybe I've messed it up starting on CD10 then as it said to start on CD15 for 35 day cycle but I figured starting early wouldn't hurt. Hah. Nevermind. I'll just see how I get on for now I guess.
