Got a new Fitbit for Christmas so interested how those of you who do hr use it (I had a very old Fitbit before so hr is new to me!)

Hoping lots of BFPs this month!

PeoniesforMissAnnersley · 04/01/2018 20:38

Hi please can I join?
Name: Peonies
Age: 32
Cycle: 5. MC in August at 7 weeks.
Currently waiting to test but not sure where I am in cycle as I have PCOS and my cycle is all over the place: according to Ovia BFP/AF due tomorrow.

tappitytaptap · 04/01/2018 21:12

Just POAS, not sure why though as AF announcing imminent arrival through cramps. This means officially #2 is taking longer to conceive than #1. Pretty sad about that for some reason, need a good shake.

tappitytaptap · 04/01/2018 21:15

@TheIntrovertedMum, what are your adhesion symptoms? I had EMCS with #1 too and periods are just not quite the same as before.

tappitytaptap · 04/01/2018 21:18

Also probably means I will be on day 1 of horrible period for job interview tomorrow 😈

Flybynight1 · 05/01/2018 07:08

Having a bit of a freak out here (also it is early and we haven't slept well) but can anyone see anything? It's a proper squinter

TTC #2 January BFPs
CoconutGal · 05/01/2018 07:22

@Flybynight1 - I can see a faint positive!

tappitytaptap · 05/01/2018 07:32

I can see it! Congrats 😊

Flybynight1 · 05/01/2018 07:41

Coconut and tappity thank you! DH was still asleep when I left for work so haven't told him yet. we dtd exactly once within the timeframe I could consider my fertile period (which I only worked out after the event!) so it has come as a real shock (and makes all the shagging we did in previous cycles seem a bit of a waste! Haha)

MynameisJune · 05/01/2018 08:50

I think I can see it @fly congratulations

Flybynight1 · 05/01/2018 09:33

Thanks June, it got a bit clearer later on but will test again in a few days 🤞🏼

Pyxie · 05/01/2018 17:45

Definitely a line there, congrats Fly!

CatRen27 · 06/01/2018 05:45

Congrats Fly! Flowers

Right I've found an outlet for my poas addiction. Its time consuming, granted, but voting on few pages of this badboy is enough to quell my poas urges.. long may it last!
www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/index.php?p=1

I'm now 5dpo and didn't manage the two days after ovulation as prescribed, only did 3 days before, 1 day before, and day of ovulation.... soooo possibly not enough. Ah well not feeling the stress too much for some reason this month and looking forward to next cycle if this isnt the one for us.

TheIntrovertedMum · 06/01/2018 11:14

I've started a secret Facebook group for 2018 ttc if anyone wants to join. It's with a few of the ladies from my born in Oct 16 baby group x

Flybynight1 · 06/01/2018 14:04

Thanks Pyxie and Cat!

Cat I'm a confessed POAS addict too, I ordered 10 ICs for this cycle, I was out of them by 9DPO (granted FF was telling me it was 12 DPO but still, silly!!) and ordered more! I keep coming back to that site though to remind myself I'm crazy for testing at 2DPO! With DS I had a IC pos at 9DPO and this time (eek) has a FRER pos at 11 DPO but nothing on the IC. I'm all out of HCG tests now but will probably continue to use OPKs to monitor pregnancy hormone (because I'm nuts!!! And because I have 30 and no plans for #3!!)

LopeyLopez · 06/01/2018 16:41

Congratulations Fly Thanks Happy and healthy next 9 months to you xxx

I am 10 dpo and trying not to be too hopeful, as every month I get convinced I am pregnant only to find out a few days later I am not!! I really can't trust my body or how I feel any more at all....Some months I have been 100% sure, what with all the twinges and cramps and other "symptoms", and then....af turns up as planned! 😞

I have a doctors app on Monday to get the results of my day 1 and day 21 bloods and have a pelvic examination to check all is ok there.....how good it would be to go there and say, actually, I'm pregnant! Lol!

RhiBee29 · 06/01/2018 17:25

Congratulations @Flybynight1 x

BelliniButterfly · 06/01/2018 18:04

I'm boarding the January bus too!

Age: 35
DD: 14 months
Cycle: 1
AF due 22nd January

Secondtimelucky1980 · 06/01/2018 20:33

Hi everyone, can I join please? Well, re-join... I was on here at the end of last year before I got a BFP. It ended in a MC 5 days later and I decided I didn’t want to try again but we’ve decided to give it a few more goes.

We have only DTD once this cycle, three days ago, so don’t have much hope but wanted to join you all in the hope that we will get lucky soon.

Good luck to everyone! Will catch up now on the thread...

Xx

Funkyemzie · 06/01/2018 22:15

Right so does anybody not get any 'symptoms' ? I've got nothing, AF due on Wednesday coming, no back ache, stomach ache, all I have had is a bloody sore throat which I think is just due to our lovely British weather. I never normally symptom spot as i think it's too early but there arent any symptoms TOO spot. 12DPO today. 😞

TheIntrovertedMum · 06/01/2018 22:27

If anyone wants to join the secret Facebook page add me. I love mumsnet but it's hard to track in forums that eat quite lengthy (for me anyway)

m.facebook.com/courtney.livingstone?ref=bookmarks

I will delete you afterwards it's only because you have to be friends to add someone to a secret group!

Cariad2017 · 06/01/2018 23:58

I shall be keeping everything crossed that you can invoke the law of sod and manage to turn up pregnant to your GP appointment on Monday Lopey.

Sorry to see you here again Secondtime and for everything you’ve been through. MCs well and truly suck.

Waves at everyone else. Feeling quite upbeat this cycle although given that this is Cycle 16, I have literally no reason to be... I would absolutely LOVE a September baby for all manner of reasons. I saw four magpies in the park today, so here’s hoping. Xxx

Secondtimelucky1980 · 07/01/2018 12:37

Fingers crossed for you lopey

Thanks for your kind words cariad. They definitely suck. That was my 5th and I am dreading having anymore. If I am lucky enough to fall pregnant again and we MC, again, I think I'll call it quits. How are you getting on? What cycle day are you on?

Funky oh god symptom spotting is so addictive isn't it but from talking to friends they don't always help predict a pregnancy. I always seem to get the same symptoms when I am pregnant but it is very easy to confuse for my period too, especially as I am getting older. The cramps before AF seem stronger now, which is also my sign for pregnancy.

I am 4dpo and have lots of creamy CM and my cervix has gone v high and soft, but I think it is too early for any symptoms really so think it is just a coincidence.

How's everyone else doing?

MynameisJune · 07/01/2018 13:53

I think the thing to remember with symptoms is that largely in the tww they are not related to pregnancy to but to the ramping up of progesterone. It doesn’t mean you’re not pregnant but usually hcg levels aren’t high enough to cause symptoms until they are high enough to show on a hpt.

Every tww I pee loads, much more more than I do after af. This drops off just before af and is one of the major signs for me that as is due. When I got a bfp in October the needing to pee constantly didn’t drop off until the mc started.

I try not to symptom spot now because I’ve pretty much had every symptom going this last year and none of them have meant I was pregnant.
