Oh @Belles28 mine is quite dry since yesterday and 9dpo today so reckon I have a chance for BFP still?

Belles28 · 03/08/2023 13:46

@mahii95 during ovulation it was like watery almost. Then for a good 5-6dpo it was creamy & quite a lot of it. Now it's barely anything x

mahii95 · 03/08/2023 13:44

Hi ladies.. I'm wondering about cervical mucus? What was your CM like before you got your BFP? Mine seems to be quite dry which makes me think AF is on her way 🥺

Plumchumm · 03/08/2023 13:15

I’m 29 I think we are all similar age x

This is my 3rd but all feels so new as my other 2 children are older now ( 16 and 12) I have 1 of each but boys are dominant in the rest of the family . We will find out the sex I'm too impatient haha . Any other " older" parents ? Although I'm only 35 haha x

Does 32 count? 🤣 I'm turning 33 at the end of the year so not far behind you! DD was 2 last month. Weird to think she'll be a few months off of 3 by the time baby #2 arrives x

@Belles28 its the best ain’t it?? My friends and family can’t understand why I never wanna find out haha

Belles28 · 03/08/2023 12:07

@Plumchumm haha fair enough, seems the odds are definitely in the blue corner 🩵🥰

@Rosieposie0301 same here! My partner was the one to tell me what DD was when she arrived, the lushest moment. We're definitely going for the surprise again 🥰

I’m waiting for the dr to call with my blood result. Husband can’t quite understand why I’m so nervous and a bit ratty for the call, despite the loss last May.

should have a call in the next thirty mins or so.

@Plumchumm huge congratulations!

@Horriblewoman i completely understand

Have you had the call? 🤞🏽

ReginaPhalange12 · 03/08/2023 11:55

@Plumchumm 9DPO, I've tested far too much 😂 AF due tomorrow so hopefully I'll have a definite answer in the next few days

AllieDang · 03/08/2023 10:43

@Horriblewoman my husband travels to Indonesia for work in the 10th for three weeks too- he’ll miss my next ovulation window if this is negative and if I’m positive I’ll be worrying for the next three weeks.

it’s so hard.

Horriblewoman · 03/08/2023 10:34

Thanks lovely ladies. It was really sad seeing the positive test as we feel like we can’t get excited based on previous losses. Damnit! I’m usually apparently overly positive so need to summon that up from somewhere.

Rosieposie0301 · 03/08/2023 10:21

@Belles28 not me. I didn’t first time round either and it’s so amazing having the surprise!!! It was one of my fave things.
I have no inklings either. I think second time it’s a win no matter what because if it’s a girl my daughter gets a sister and if it’s a boy I’ve one of each!

Plumchumm · 03/08/2023 10:04

Me! But I’m like 100% certain it’s a boy. My partner has all boys in his family, and on my side boys always born first

anyone else? Any predictions? 😋

By the way I’m not sure who to call? My gp or midwife services

Belles28 · 03/08/2023 09:56

Sooo... who's finding out the sex? 🥰

Plumchumm · 03/08/2023 09:55

@ReginaPhalange12 thank you! ❤️ How many dpo are you? Have you tested? X

@Horriblewoman wow congrats! Just remember each pregnancy is different 🥺 no symptoms is usually good - I have significantly less symptoms this time as well. Just sore boobs really

Belles28 · 03/08/2023 09:06

Horriblewoman · 03/08/2023 08:30

I’m now 14 dpo and was forced to test by my husband.

It’s positive! But now the miscarriage anxiety has truly kicked in as I’ve never had a successful pregnancy. And I have no symptoms. And my husband is now away for 3 weeks.

Everything crossed for you, I'm 14dpo & albeit have sore boobs, I'd get that with PMS anyway! I can understand the anxiety around it though, you're only human ♥️ you got this xxx

Belles28 · 03/08/2023 09:04

@Horriblewoman amazing news, congrats!!! 🥳 I'm loving this thread, so many pregnancies at the same time! How special 🫶🏽 these babies will never know how much they were posted about 😂

ReginaPhalange12 · 03/08/2023 09:00

@Horriblewoman Congratulations ✨ hoping for a sticky bean for you

Congratulations @Plumchumm ✨

Plumchumm · 03/08/2023 01:39

Thank you so much ladies 🥹 congrats to you too! I’m so happy for us ❤️ I’m in shock, it went from thinking I was getting evaps, to lines, to even getting a positive on digital. I’ve told most of my family because I couldn’t wait lol except my dad who lives in a diff city. I wanna visit and surprise him somehow.

Our baby is gonna be due around the same time, we should defo keep in touch in the journey 🥰

I’m also surprised bdcause yesterday when I assumed I implanted (I felt sharp pains all day) I also got an ‘implantation dip’ on my BBT. I always heard that a lot of pregnant women don’t get that and to just ignore it, so I’m surprised I even had that

for anyone with pcos like me and ttc - the one thing I did differently this month was take soy isoflavones (like clomid) at the start. I had very strong ovulation which I don’t usually get :) other than that I tracked with bbt + opk and made sure to have sex every few days around fertile period ☺️
