Thanks Sunshine2015 and Fuzzy :)

Sunshine12 I've been having period type pains so you might not be out yet :)

It still hasn't sunk in, I'm convinced that when I take another test tomorrow it's going to be negative! I haven't had so much queasiness today which I don't like as I think the queasiness is a good sign! However I have been woozy all day and really forgetful and ditzy! Having cramps and headaches too. I lied to my husband today and told him the test was negative and that I thought my period had started. I'm hoping to surprise him with a clear blue digital test on Christmas morning :) x

How weird, I didn't think my first message had posted and had to write it all again! Sorry for the duplicate!

Shary if you know when you conceived add 2 weeks onto it. By my lmp I'm supposed to be 11 weeks Saturday but I know I'm 10 weeks as I ovulate late. Download the ovia pregnancy app, it works it all out for you X

Thanks Fuzzy. I've actually lost a few pounds, I'm not big on food at the moment. Just paid £££ for a steak and chips and literally picked at!

Mrsrose don't get caught up on symptoms, I've learnt everyone is different! I've gone sore, to nausea, to nothing, to being off food, to nothing, to being thirsty...

Oh I remember the cramps being strong at the beginning!

Thanks for the reassurance Mascara :)

So if I know I ovulated on the 13th and therefore (I assume) conceived then, I need to add 2 weeks on to that date? So I'm 2 weeks pregnant right now?

mrsrose33 · 23/12/2015 23:26

I downloaded Ovia - apparently I'm 3 weeks and 3 days!

Cramps and feeling AF like was quite normal for me in early pregnancy MrsRose. I love you idea of surprising with DH tomorrow with the test.

Sad so thirsty at night, sounds silly... Water and squash aren't cutting it!

mrsrose33 · 24/12/2015 13:31

Yes it does, although don't know why it ends up being 3 weeks as I hadn't even ovulated 3 weeks ago! lol

sunshinegirl12 · 24/12/2015 15:34

Mrsrose , what a lovely way to tell your DH, I don't think I'd be able to keep it a surprise for so long.

Hope all you ladies have a great xmas and thanks for the chatter over the last many months x

mrsrose33 · 24/12/2015 23:20

Merry Christmas ladies :) xx

FuzzyOwl · 25/12/2015 17:24

Happy Christmas everyone.

BFN and AF here today. Thanks Santa!

OrianaBanana · 25/12/2015 17:34

Happy Christmas!

Yes, heavy cramps and proper AF for me today too, meaning I had a highly unusual 34 day cycle with spotting days 26-31. Not sure what's going on. Xmas Confused

sunshinegirl12 · 25/12/2015 19:38

I've had AF here too but an 11 day luteal phase for the 2nd month running. x

FuzzyOwl · 25/12/2015 19:42

Unusual 29 day cycle for me. I have never had a regular cycle in my life but the three cycles prior to this one, which have been since I gave birth, have all been ovulation on day 21 and a 31 day cycle. I have thought having a baby had regulated my cycle, but clearly not. Oh well.

mrsrose33 · 26/12/2015 10:18

Oh no, sorry guys :(

Here's to 2016 and what it will hopefully bring for you all (I have everything crossed) :) xx

mrsrose33 · 26/12/2015 10:21

Oriana are you taking pregnacare by any chance? I found that completely messed with my cycles - gave me a 15 day luteal phase but it was false as I started spotting at day 10 each time, and one month spotted for 6 days! Switched to Boots own brand 2 months ago and the spotting stopped. My LP did reduce to 11 days, but that clearly wasn't a problem in the end.

mrsrose33 · 26/12/2015 11:00

Sorry I meant started spotting at 10dpo

Sunshine that's great LP is11days that's pretty good. Mine was 9days this month.

I'm always trying something new and this cycle I'm having hot water bottles. I've read good and bad things but figured surely it can't hurt to keep tummy warm.

GP appointment in a few days to discuss my scan.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas? I definitely over indulged. Healthy diet went out the window.

sunshinegirl12 · 27/12/2015 23:47

Thanks Sunshine, I'm hoping I'll carry on with the 11 day luteal phase (or more), hopefully your 9 day phase was just a one off. Have stopped the Fertilaid this cycle but started on Agnus Castus tablets up until ovulation. I've also bought a fertility monitor although I won't have it in time for this cycle. Oh whats this about the hot water bottles? I haven't heard about this.

Mrsunsure, good to hear from you, hope you're having a nice relaxing time away.

Just a random question, do you think its better to DTD every day or every other? DH has done SA and all was ok but that was based on him not doing anything for 2/3 days prior.

Hope everyone else is ok. x

Feeling utterly huge here. Christmas podge on top of 17 week bump. I look like I'm about 7 months gone Confused

mrsrose33 · 28/12/2015 10:13

I feel absolutely exhausted despite an uninterrupted night's sleep! I'm feeling a little worried as my queasiness and wooziness hasn't appeared the last couple of days. Just cramps and exhaustion! I'm taking tests every day just to make sure it's still there! Lol xx
