@L1zz13 LOOOL at the white sheets!! Me too!! Haha!!
2 of those are defo positive!! I have litterally everything crossed that this is your miracle rainbow baby!! Maybe ask for bloods at the Drs?! If you've had a period you should still have hcg in your system. Maybe it was some kind or weird bleed and maybe pregnant? Can you crack out an frer in the morning?

KnitKitty · 05/05/2018 19:40

dulwichdays AF 27th of March, or April? If it was March you could defo be showing signs of pregnancy now... If you said the wrong month in your post, it sucks how your body plays tricks on you, doesn't it. There are sick-bugs going around too at the moment.

L1zz13 Shock That's so wierd that you're getting faint positives! I agree with Cakelaur; take an FRER if you can.
Did you ever do a negative pregnancy test after MC to be sure HCG had dropped completely?

L1zz13 · 05/05/2018 20:39

I took a test that was the same brand as the one on the right of the photo I posted. It was neg at the end of my af. I didn't think to keep checking!
maybe I ought to see the Drs next week.
Left over mc is the most likely answer.

Lilimum4 · 05/05/2018 23:14

OK ladies am I right thinking that the last test stick is positive for ovulation

DaisyMay25 · 05/05/2018 23:15

@Lilimum4 that's a really strong positive! Go grab your OH!

Lilimum4 · 05/05/2018 23:17

@DaisyMay25 oh no he's away that's just not fair Sad

Cakelaur · 06/05/2018 08:37

@Lilimum4 yes yes yes!! Go get your OH
@L1zz13 how you doing this morning babe?

Boboelephant · 06/05/2018 09:39

Hey girls! I've been a bit quiet as we are staying in the country with limited internet.
@Cakelaur and @BabynameEdie 🤣 I'll see what I can do!
@YellowDaffodils86 and @Lilimum4 yay for positive opks! I got my positive last night too! 😀😀 Jumped on DH last night and this morning so fingers crossed!!
@L1zz13 it sounds really confusing. I'd defi speak to your GP. If there is anything retained you don't want to leave it.
@HidCat glad your body is getting back to normal!
@dulwichdays maybe do a test? Then if it's negative that might help stop the hoping? If itd positive that'd be awesome!
@smoothieyummy it's so hard not to worry about everything. I had that worry too after the gynae suggesting that perhaps I wasn't ovulating every month. Possible according to fact that I'm ancient apparently! 😫 I bought the bbt thermometer and was thrilled to confirm I was. Although it can be irregular so think I have missed my window a few times! Good to have all the info I think!

Cakelaur · 06/05/2018 09:41

@Boboelephant yay for Positive opk!!! Nice timing!!! This is your month!! Little baby JKS is on it way!!! 😂

Lilimum4 · 06/05/2018 09:47

OK ladies. I had positive opk yesterday so does that mean I'm tww now ( this is all so new I've never tracked anything before)

L1zz13 · 06/05/2018 09:53

No @Lilimum4 it means you need to shag your head off for a the next 12-24 hrs or so. Have fun 😉

@Cakelaur I'm okay. Back sore. But only started again since I got up. It's prob not related. I have added an extra 1/2 mile into my dogs usual walk!

Not going to fret. But I will keep you all posted.

Lilimum4 · 06/05/2018 09:55

@L1zz13 thanks. How are you feeling today.

Primrose16 · 06/05/2018 09:58

Shag your head off 😂

BabynameEdie · 06/05/2018 10:00

Hey all, it arrived! 20 hour day at work yesterday and I just knew O was brewing. It's amazing how much more in tune (read: obsessed) I feel with my body now after all of this. Couldn't do opks but am pretty certain I will have surged yesterday and O today. All the signs are there 😀😀 so jumped hubby this morn and aiming for twice more today! (Eek- am I crazy?!)
Now have three days off on a mini break as it's our one year wedding anniversary today.

@Boboelephant yay so glad yours arrived too - think we're now pretty much in line timing wise. Two bubs called JKS 😂🤞🤞
Ditto @YellowDaffodils86 - did you manage some bd time in the end?!

@Cakelaur hope you're doing well? Are you still on holiday? ☀️☀️

@Lilimum4 how long is / was your oh away for? Hope you can get something in if poss but don't worry if not as the last 5 days all count too! 😀

So, who's starting the tww with me, @YellowDaffodils86 & @Boboelephant - can all start obsessing about symptoms - here we go again! 😬

@L1zz13 that's all so confusing, have you got any further with it? Did you do another test? 🤞🤞🤞

@dulwichdays how you doing? Have you tested?

Lilimum4 · 06/05/2018 10:08

@BabynameEdie I hope the previous days do as he's not back until late tonight and might be to tired bless him. Fx we DTD enough. How long before I'm tww if I got LH surge yesterday. Yesterdays was super positive. And today's is lighter. This is my first month of tracking and I must say I'm a bit confused

rdm10 · 06/05/2018 10:17

I’m just starting the tww too! Cd17 here but not very hopeful as only bd cd 12, 13 and 14 due to being at in-laws. I was supposed to try again last night but we both fell asleep super early (it comes with spending the day in the sun-and old age!!) I do think I ov’d cd14 though so 🤞

Let the crazy commence!

Boboelephant · 06/05/2018 10:30

Thanks @Cakelaur and @BabynameEdie!
Fingers crossed for us this month @BabynameEdie!!! Little JKS babies 🤣😍 yay for o and have an awesome few days away. I say if you can get it in, shag away!!
@Lilumum4 once you get a positive opk you usually ovulate 12-48 hours afterwards. So to cover all bases they say you should BD the day you get the positive and the two days after. If you are not temping which confirms ov, I would assume that ovulation happens the day after the positive- so today. That would make tomorrow 1dpo and the start of your tww. The past 5 days do count like Edie said because the swimmers can live for that long but I'd defi try and jump DH tonight too if poss.
Looks like lots of us are ovulating today. Woohoo for crazy tww spotting soon to come! 😆🤦‍♀️

Boboelephant · 06/05/2018 10:34

Fingers crossed @rdm10! Are you tracking at all?

Cakelaur · 06/05/2018 10:44

@BabynameEdie YAY FOR O!!! (I've never been so excited about other people's ovulation before😂)
I'm doing ok. Still in Mauritius. Home on Wednesday. Really struggling with finding food that doesn't make me 🤢 there's not a lot of variety out here sadly and I'm desperately craving sweet and sour chicken 😂 dreading Friday!! Just can't see past this 8 week scan and can't imagine it's gonna be good news! So trying really hard not to think about it. (Which of course doesn't work cos it consumes my whole life)

Excited how many people are in the TWW! My birthday is on the 19th, so I'm expecting loads of POAS as presents!!! And of course BFPs!! 🤞🏻

BabynameEdie · 06/05/2018 11:18

Yay for so many Os today! I'm assuming mine is today so tomorrow begins the TWW - it's so nice to have so many people to sit it out with! @rdm10 @Boboelephant @YellowDaffodils86 @Lilimum4 🤞☀️💕

I'm still going to keep up the BD until AF arrives - JKS all the way!! Not sure our bub will be called JKS (if you hadn't guessed our no.1 baby name for a girl is Edie but maybe if it's a boy!)
This part of the cycle is so hard, not to raise expectations and hopes too much, plus there's not much more we can do once O has passed.

@Claire138 and @hayleyfx and @HidCat how are you guys? Hope all is well x

Lilimum4 · 06/05/2018 11:23

@BabynameEdie fx for us all this month. Tbh I've never been so excited and nervous and emotional all at the same time. Sending baby dust to everyone TTC xx

hayleyfx · 06/05/2018 11:42

Yay for all the positive OPK’s! Hope I can join you all soon!
@BabynameEdie I’m good thanks! CD9 here, usually ovulate CD16 but last month was CD21 I ovulated!! So who knows when it’ll happen, JKS is my motto this month 🤣 I’m glad you’ve O’d, FX for this month! 🤞
@Cakelaur I can imagine how nervous you must be however I’m keeping everything crossed that your next scan goes well. I’m hopeful for a very H&H pregnancy for you!

hayleyfx · 06/05/2018 11:43

Oh I forgot to add - my OPK is quite close to being positive (not yet positive) but it’s getting pretty close I think? Only CD9 so it’s a bit too early for O!! I’ll just keep testing and see what happens and also going to JKS 🤣

BabynameEdie · 06/05/2018 11:51

Yay @hayleyfx that's looking good - probably a few days away but def going in the right direction 👏👏

@Cakelaur when do you get home? Totally understand your fears about Friday but you have done all you can and I feel this is going to be your sticky bean, you've made a happy home in there and I'm sure it'll all go smoothly. It'll be a long wait until Friday scan I'm sure but try to fill your days a bit to keep you busy. I'm saying all this but know I'd be feeling nervous and yuck about it too if it was me! 🙈 such a good sign about food aversions though - sorry, I know it's prob not nice but it means things are happening & hormones are doing the right thing!
Sending love xx

YellowDaffodils86 · 06/05/2018 12:37

@BabynameEdie @Boboelephant 🎉 congrats, all set to start tww together 👍🏻
@rdm10 you are with us too!
Can symptom spot and go crazy together! 😂

@BabynameEdie yes we did, not yesterday annoyingly as that was first day of pos opk 😫 but all the days before and today so FX.
Luckily little bro went downstairs with ipad and watched tv this morning, felt a bit weird but couldn't afford to miss the window!
A little insight into trying to have a sex life with children!! 😂
(FYI little bro is 8🤣)

@L1zz13 shag your head off 😂

@Lilimum4 they should count just fine. FX
You shall be joining the crazyness too.

@hayleyfx nearly there, JKS 😂

@Cakelaur all those food aversions are all good signs. Having everything crossed for amazing news at your scan.
