[Daffodil77]

Here you go

Keep us updated and don't disappear from the thread cake, that's the deal!!

Totally deal!!! I'm not going anywhere! And if this baby shows up at Christmas I'll be sending Christmas cake to all of you!!

Deal

Sounds a good deal @cakelaur . Defo got to keep us updated!
I think I ovulated yesterday as have a spike in temp today. Will have to see how the next couple of days bode but @boboelephant have you found your ovulation pain to be less/more/same since acupuncture? Last ovulation it was bloody sore (more than usual) and this month very very dull twinges, which is really odd for me as I can usually clearly feel ovulation. I’m wondering if acupuncture is having anything to do with the changes. I’m thinking either bad...like shit have I actually ovulated or good that blood flow has increased and it’s all good. Just making me anxious. Hate when there’s a change.

@cakelaur eeeeee that's amazing news, so happy for you!

OMG @cakelaur - what amazing news! Congratulations - try not to worry too much I’m sure it’ll be a sticky bean!

I’m slightly fearful about replicating your marathon month! What else did you do? I’ve been got a TWW to get organised in case I’ve not been lucky this month x

So here's the list:
Marathon cd8-cd15 (ovulated cd14)
Pineapple core 1dpo-5dpo
Progesterone cream 3dpo-11dpo (think I'm gonna start back up again)
Pre seed (it was actually fertility check gel from boots used every time)
Literally legs in the air after we DTD
Happiness was a big factor (the puppy gave me this)
Relaxed a little (I knew we had done everything possible so I could relax a little)
Drink wine throughout the entire TWW 🙈 including a bottle last night!! Hahaha

Haha @weasledee...doing a cake! 🤣🤣
@Cakelaur I want a list of symptoms so far please!! Still hanging out hope you'll be sending me a cake too!! I changed two of my holiday temps from 36.4 to 36.1 which had been pretty steady before going as I figured the weather may have made a diff, and now ff has finally confirmed ovulation.
@Claire138 now you mention it I think for me i have got more pain but it has helped me feel ovulation. I never did before and the last two months I've gotten quite clear stomach cramps- almost like a side stitch and some niggles for the few hours before. I hope I'm right because I clearly felt it on left side this month and that's my tube side!

Right @Cakelaur pineapple and wine tonight!! 😀🍷🍍

My uterus feels heavy!

Hmmm @boboelepehant it’s making me nervous that I have had such a lack of cramps this month. I guess there isn’t much I can do but pray my temp keeps high 🤞
@peachesarenom how many dpo are you now? Have you tested today?

@Boboelephant so not many symptoms. I was doing some gardening on Saturday and kept going dizzy when I stood up. I have had extreme back pain (been seeing a chiropractor for months) and she said I had really loose pelvis yesterday haha. Boob twinges and round ligament pain, but I've had these on and off since the mmc. But if a sniffle but nothing major. All could be put down to nothing. Had a bit of pink cm on 7dpo and 12dpo but so tiny.
Then last night I thought AF was finally on her way. I woke up to my temp going back up. I tested in cbfm it said not pregnant I took the test out and saw two lines, and thought hmmm.. lemme just crack open an frer. So I did. And bam!! Two lines!!

Hi Claire138, I only got to BD once in my fertile week due to hubby being away for work. So odds are low. Defo feel a bit of heaviness in the uterus department but no pulling like my last bfp.
9 dpo at the mo.

Bit random but has anyone heard how @flatwhite32 is doing?

Fingers crossed @peachesarenom that you timed that one perfectly! 🤞
@cakelaur I think the best thing is probably the ‘relaxed’ part. Everyone says it but just so hard to do it!

@peachesarenom it only takes one so fingers crossed that one time did the trick! 🤞🏼
@Claire138 I’m 1dpo today too! The next two weeks are going to drag 🙄
I said to my SO I wouldn’t test until my period was due or actually late this month after what happened last month but now I’m like... 7dpo isn’t too early is it? 🤦‍♀️😂 I need to have more self control haha!

@weasledee She's doing okay (active on another thread) :) Around I want to say 25 weeks when she posted sometime last week about a mw appointment ^^

Hopefully that's what you were asking -__-

@hayleyfx I know!! I have sworn to myself I’m not testing till 12dpo and will only test earlier if I have strong signs. I only have one FRER left so don’t want to use it too early. If it’s a BFN that’s me back off to the shops to stock up on everything again 😩 how the hell are we going to distract ourselves for another 12 days!!! (Also I really want the next couple of days to hurry up so I can actually confirm ovulation yesterday)

Thanks guys! I'm gonna test again tomoz because apparently at 4 days before your missed period frer has a 99% success rate! I'm due AF on Sat! Uterus does not feel heavy anymore, possibly because my belly is full of food!

Unicorns, 25 weeks already! Wow where has that gone???! Did she find out what she's having do u know? Glad it's all going well for her :)

@Claire138 yep we will have to keep each other sane during these two weeks haha! Hopefully there’s a BFP at the end of the two weeks for us both though!

Oh and good luck for testing tomorrow @peachesarenom I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼

Can I join you ladies? I've been lurking for a while, and read all 30+ pages while waiting in EPU on Monday. (congratulations Cakelaur!! I was so cheered up to hear about your bfp)

I've had two mcs, both at around 6 weeks. We've only been trying for 4 months so it does feel like mother nature is giving us the finger!

I'm feeling a bit sullen now as 18 days after I stopped bleeding I'm still getting bfps. EPU look my bloods last Thurs (hcg 36) and Monday (hcg 46) so something weird is going on. I just want this shit to be over.

@cakelaur congratulations !!!

@SerenaOverjoyed how strange that your hcg levels are going up. Did they say what it could be? And when are they testing your bloods again?
Sorry to hear about your mcs
