@sb86 welcome and huge congratulations lady!!! what a great line hope you have a wonderful pregnancy. Will you be joining the due november 2023 thread?

@JJ2023 I can imagine, here's hoping for your rainbow baby 😘good thing is conceiving is not an issue, something that I wonder with my DH and I. Do you have children already?

@seeyouinanotherlifewhenwearebothcats hey we're testing buddies!! Have you gone ahead with it yet? I have to wait until later as DH wants to do it together. I saved my fmu in a cup waiting for him to get up. Glamorous I know :)

@Gloopyhoop massive congratulations, thanks for updating us with such excellent news :D wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy x

@lottieb92 exactly! without wanting to sound like a quack, apparently strong ovulations bring on pain. I only started feeling ovulation pains the last couple of months, like a twinge and pulling. Could be a good sign, crossing my fingers for the both of us

@bbypinkluffie I am so sorry to hear that, sometimes our bodies play cruel tricks on us. I had a very long cycle back in July last year, I was a whole 7 days late and AF eventually arrived. Such an awful time, waiting to see what is what. How many dpo are you now?

@ExcitedandNervousC1 there's a lot of waiting during ttc. do you have any ideas how you plan on distracting yourself during this time?

@Mrsrobinsonx sorry to hear of your cp... it's so disappointing. crossing my fingers its a sticky one this time

@Mummyme87 very sensible, that way youve covered all bases. Also sometimes surges are so quick that we miss them, could that have happened do you think?

@Mushroo I see! To be honest, I would be a serial tester if AF didn't arrive by 12dpo each month. Ive been lucky in that respect that I dont end up obsessing but on the flipside I do wish my luteal phase was more like 14 days. Do you opk at all?

Thanks ladies 😊

@ExcitedandNervousC1 hey 👋🏼 I've been on decaf tea and coffee since September, also been taking folic acid since then aswell as vitamin D buy upped it a few months ago to max daily amount along with vit b6 as I was spotting for days before af arrived and that can be a sign of low progesterone. I didn't use pre seed this month just left it to my body but I did take evening primrose oil capsules upto ovulation. I did use the fertilily cup but a cheaper version off ebay because although fertilily is worth it if it works it's still expensive for what it is. I put it in and left it for upto 8 hours as seen others had done this and I know you can leave a period cup in for that time so thought no harm in trying. Can't be certain if any of it's helped but here I am so defo worth a shot 🥰 also been having a glass of fresh orange with my dinner every day.

JJ2023 · 02/03/2023 07:49

Congratulations to everyone with their BFPs 🥰

@NatGee what a great post getting back to everyone, hope you are well? I am indeed in my TWW, feeling nervous x

Runnergirl1 · 02/03/2023 07:39

@Myperfectchaos and @Sb86 co congratulations to you both x

Myperfectchaos · 02/03/2023 07:22

This is the 2nd month of tracking ovulation with OPKs so I was very aware of when I was ovulating and I also cut caffeine out completely, I don’t think that would have had a huge effect but though.

ExcitedandNervousC1 · 02/03/2023 07:07

Congrats @Sb86 and @Myperfectchaos !! Did ye do anything different this cycle that might have helped your bfp??

Myperfectchaos · 02/03/2023 06:51

Thanks so much everyone! This does seem to be a lucky thread with lots of BFPs baby dust to everyone! Got my hands on a frer here is in 9dpo line

Hey @Bigfamilylife thanks, fingers crossed it sticks 🤞🏼

When are you planning on testing?

I have everything crossed for you . I thinking Saturday . I had a positive OPK Sunday 19th feb :) the temptation to test is real 😂

Sb86 · 02/03/2023 05:30

Hey @Bigfamilylife thanks, fingers crossed it sticks 🤞🏼

When are you planning on testing?

Bigfamilylife · 02/03/2023 05:21

Good luck that’s for sure a BFP

Bigfamilylife · 02/03/2023 05:20

I had a chemical pregnancy in January so feeling really nervous . Looking for some other ladies to connect with to keep me sane during this time :)

Bigfamilylife · 02/03/2023 05:18

Hello everyone . New here , well haven’t used this account in years anyway . Currently in 2 week wait I think I’m around 9dpo ..

Sb86 · 02/03/2023 05:15

Morning everyone, I just came across this thread but I got my BFP yesterday at 8dpo. We started trying in August 2022 and fell pregnant first cycle but unfortunately mc at 8 weeks. I'm both trying not to get too excited and trying to not to worry...both easier said than done!

We both have children from a previous relationship but this will be our first together, I just pray to God it sticks 🙏🏼 ❤️

Tests were taken with SMU and I honestly just expected to see stark white as last time I didn't get a bfp until 14dpo. I cracked open cheap test as the viewing window was a bit crap to see through.

Good luck to everyone and fingers crossed for those BFPs 🤞🏼

@NatGee my last cycle ended up being really long, so I’m only CD10.

Im so far sticking to my resolution of being relaxed, but I’m fairly sure I’ll cave once I’m in the dreaded TWW 😂

good luck for your testing tomorrow!

mummytoemilia · 01/03/2023 22:54

I have not even seen a " positive " opk this month. They've just been fluctuating & then so close to positive but not... I'm guessing I'm having anovulation month. Gutted😫 we still BD all through my cycle though just incase 🤞🏼

seeyouinanotherlifewhenwearebothcats · 01/03/2023 22:51

@NatGee im going to test tomorrow. Not definite what dpo I am honestly 😁

Mrsrobinsonx · 01/03/2023 22:48

@NatGee I’ve not been on here much either since my chemical last cycle, now back in the tww so here’s hoping for good news 🤞🏻
congrats on all the bfp’s! X

ExcitedandNervousC1 · 01/03/2023 22:45

Hey @NatGee ! You're so good getting back to everyone!! Yes in the TWW and currently 5DPO so a while to go until testing at 11DPO. Just praying 🙏

bbypinkluffie · 01/03/2023 22:19

@NatGee had some awful cramps and toilet trouble today, AF was due 5 days ago now, awfully sore breasts and nausea but two tests today, on at the GP and one at home (FRER) were both negative :( feeling really quite disappointed and poorly xx

lottieb92 · 01/03/2023 22:18

@NatGee thanks from the update, I am also on and off of these forums when times get tough!

they have answered so many questions for me so I always come back… and I also am of the mind that it’s just one month closer and that’s okay one day it’ll be us with a BFP in the comments🤍

ive had the cramps to accompany the sickness waves now - so perhaps it was just a powerful ovulation and I’m off to bed soon! Fingers crossed x

Gloopyhoop · 01/03/2023 22:03

Hi! I'm sorry I didn't update!

I got my bfp! Started off verrrr faint on valentine's day then became more obvious from then on. I'm now 5w 2d 😁

Fallulah · 01/03/2023 22:00

@NatGee I’ve had loads of scans over the years because of the massive ovarian cysts I have the skill to be able to grow (🙄) and they’re always internal. Doesn’t phase me at all now and as you say, it’s nice to know they’ve had a proper look! I will definitely update with anything I find out.

@Fallulah that's right, and it doesnt seem like theyll get back to you any sooner. Fuming for you 😤Good job in getting the ball rolling. Do you know what kind of scan youll get? I had the internal one and felt better for it as she could see everything inside. Let us know how you get on?

@UnwieldyRhombus this fills me with so much joy! Congratulations!!!!

I honestly hope all the ladies I tagged come back with the same update :D
