@UnicornsandRainbows1 I think you'd be better off gonna at 7 weeks instead of 6 I'd hate for you not to be able to see anything because it's too early, you're more likely too see the little bean at 7 weeks 😊

Eastend2015 · 11/02/2018 22:00

It’s true that you are more likely to see a heartbeat at 7 weeks but gosh that feels like a lifetime away Sad

@claire, hope you managed to bd some more just incase

Boboelephant · 12/02/2018 03:54

Thanks @Mimilicious013. Not really! Might try SMEP this month and will buy some opks as the month off has made me realise my body symptoms are not clear indicators at the mo!
Good luck @cakelaur, @peaches, @keepinghopeful and @Cookiefiend!
@Unicorns and @Eastend hope the time goes quickly for you. I'll be getting a scan next time at 5 weeks to rule out EP and then 7 to rule out MC. I know about getting hopes up but I couldn't wait!

Boboelephant · 12/02/2018 03:56

@Claire138 I don't have any answers but I had similar this month too. Was sure I o'd Sunday and then lots of EWCM Thursday. No idea!! Just keep bd'ing!

Boboelephant · 12/02/2018 06:35

@ek78 congratulations!! Amazing news and a good strong line!!!! 😀😀

ek78 · 12/02/2018 06:39

Thank you @boboelephant. I can't quite believe it. So many emotions.

weasledee · 12/02/2018 06:53

Congratulations Ek78!
What great news :)

Well, I'm 6DPO and can u believe, i feel very sick! Every previous pregnancies (including losses) I've always had HG but this is the earliest I've ever felt sick?! I'm thinking it must be a bug rather than anything else....... Confused

keepinghopeful · 12/02/2018 07:26

Congrats @ek78 fab news!!

Llondbol · 12/02/2018 07:26

Oh wow @ek78 !! I'm loving seeing all these BFPs! When was your MC? How many cycles have you been trying since? Natural Cycles says I'm due to ovulate on Valentine's Day so we're giving it a good go this week, but probably wishful thinking that we would catch so quickly 🙈

ek78 · 12/02/2018 07:33

Thank you @keepinghopeful and @Llondbol!

Llondbol- My mc was in mid-July. This was our 6th month of trying. For a month after that we just had an 'if it happens' kind of month. Then I got the Clue app and tried to use it to predict ovulation but my cycles were a bit out of whack. Then I started using opks for the last three months and last time added in the 'Sperm Meets Egg Plan' - which we just about completed - though ran out of steam a bit at the end. My original due date was this weekend.

Llondbol · 12/02/2018 07:39

@ek78 thanks for sharing xx That's amazing timing then to have such lovey news Smile

Martydog · 12/02/2018 08:12

@ek78 yeah!!! 👏🌈🎉

Mimilicious013 · 12/02/2018 08:13

yay @ek78, wow that's a lovely strong line . congratulations and a happy and healthy pregnancy to you. what a great start to the week

Martydog · 12/02/2018 08:15

@peachesarenom I think I see something! 🤞

Boboelephant · 12/02/2018 08:15

@ek78 that's amazing. So glad you got your bfp before the due date. Defi going to try SMEP this month! You said you felt like af was coming for a few days. What were your symptoms?

Cakelaur · 12/02/2018 08:25

@ek78 AMAZING NEWS!! Totally made my morning. And also defo satisfied my craving of poas!! So I don't have to! Hahaha! And such Perfect timing!!

@Boboelephant I finally used SMEP the month that got me my bfp. We've done it again this month. So 🤞

YES!! @Mimilicious013 Perfect!!! Only two more days to wait!! I don't have many symptoms. Just dry hands, thirsty, (which then causes me to pee a lot! 🙈) and stretchy hips and achey boobs (but only occasionally) so who knows. Last time I got a rediculous cold.

ek78 · 12/02/2018 08:37

Thank you all for those lovely messages and good wishes. Brought a tear to my eye!

@boboelephant the funny thing was this time I was convinced it wasnt my month while the previous 2 months I’ve been convinced I was pregnant. The only symptoms I had were moderate cramps. I was even wearing pads because I was so convinced it was AF. When I think about it, that’s how it happened last time (my only experience of pregnancy) with other symptoms arriving a bit later... I’m going to buy a bunch of cheapy tests today so I can keep an eye on things.

peachesarenom · 12/02/2018 09:12

ek78 I am so happy for you!!! 🌈 🌈 🌈!!! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy, I want regular updates and thanks for sharing your story.

I love all of you on here!

peachesarenom · 12/02/2018 09:16

Update on my front. I think AF is defo here but I feel ok. It is first AF since mc so it is reassuring, feels like body is working! This month/cycle, because I can have long ones due to pcos, I aim to lose 1 stone on slimming world and not to eat takeaways!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 12/02/2018 09:22

Wonderful news ek78! 😊

keepinghopeful · 12/02/2018 09:31
