TTC Baby #3 Not our first rodeo 🤠

@olivehush I usually count CD1 from the full bleeding. But I accept its just an estimation and not a science. Similarly with ovulation.

The peace and quiet now half term is over is exhilarating. I can actually think lol

@mummatara if you ovulate on CD17-19, does that mean your cycles are typically longer? And do you test for ovulation closer to that time, or earlier just in case?

@MamaO88 absolutely right. As soon as I took a test yday, my rational brain took over again lol. Very easy to forget how early things are, I think technically I'm 5 weeks now.

Plus I've been doing tips to ease nausea (e.g. cracker before getting up, vitamin b6 etc) so who know maybe something actually works.

Nothing much happening here only CD9 still got between 8-10 days before O 😴

Oh @Outside9 there’s nothing worse! I would be doing exactly the same as you, it’s so hard to remain rational isn’t it?

I'm finding myself testing my boobs to make sure they’re still sore on a fairly frequent basis 😅this is definitely the longest period between the positive test and actually getting the next proper confirmation at scan point.

How is everyone else doing?

Total contrast from how I felt a week ago. My symptoms have diminished to the point that I no longer feel pregnant.

My rational brain knows this happens sometimes and that I should appreciate the respite. My irrational brain is leading me to pick up some more tests 😅

@MamaO88 the line look progressive to me, especially on T3 which is encouraging. Sorry it's at a triggering time x

I'm doing much better thank you. My child has completely recovered. The severe nausea was I was experiencing has significantly calmed down. No complaints, things are much better.

The reality still hasn't quite set in but I'm feeling less anxious and more positive about the prospects of a 3rd. I've received a lot of pregnancy announcements recently, many having their first or second child. Seems like it's the season.

Thank you - seems that even after 6 years the anxiety doesn’t go away 🙈probably doesn’t help that it’s the same month I had my loss too, I’m sure some of you can unfortunately relate 😫

I hope everyone else is doing ok? Anyone close to testing soon?

@Outside9 how are you keeping?

@MamaO88I think that’s great progression for 5 days on that type of test it shows a much darker prominent line on the correct weeks

Thanks @mummatara, did the one on the left on Monday, the right was this morning x

@MamaO88i think that looks pretty good. How many days ago did you do the other one? It def shows progression. I get it it’s so hard not to compare but you’ve got all the good signs going on 🥰

Ladies would you say that this is still showing progression?

I don’t have any reason to think anything otherwise, still have mega sore boobs and I’m absolutely knackered all the time, but this is my previous miscarriage timeline and it always gives me a bit itchy feet around the same period of time 🙈😣

Oh @Daisy42016 I’m not sure, I would agree with @mummatara and say go by your positive test, but wouldn’t hurt to dtd some more just in case 😉😅

@Daisy42016i would go with your positive lh test and other symptoms. I have found I still get clear stretchy looking CM in my LP but it’s not quite like my proper ewcm when I am ovulating. Not sure if that makes much sense 🙈 how long have you been tracking for?

Hi all! I’m just wondering if any advice - I had a positive ovulation test/ lh surge detected along with symptoms (ewcm, cramping, twinges, swollen breasts etc) on 25th October, today and yesterday I had more cramping and lots of clear stretchy mucous, could I be ovulating now and not last week?

@MamaO88 ,Only 6dpo so no testing for me for a while yet! Not feeling too caught up in it all this month which is good, will just wait and see what happens!

Not bad thanks, nausea isn't great but at least I'm able to function compared to a few days ago.

Finished my pack of tests now not a great deal has changed. Won't buy more unless something feels different.

How are you?

How is everyone? Anyone else been testing or still patiently waiting?

That's exciting @MamaO88!

@MamaO88ahhh that’s excellent it should def give you a good idea by then exciting 🥰

I’ve got an early scan booked for the 14th - hoping I’ll be far enough along then to see/hear heartbeat and get rough ideas of due date etc

@MegaMinion34did you test again today?

@MamaO88before I was admitted as a permanent patient at the EPU we booked and paid for private scans I’m sure they were called viability scans but in all honestly I don’t think it matters what they call them they all did the same thing looked for baby looked for heartbeat and gave me a rough due date based on measurements. Though at that early stage they can still be about a week out by the time you get to the 12 week they catch up. They are so small even a couple of mm can throw it off a few days.

@MamaO88 if you're 18 DPO that would mean my guess was pretty spot on
