Congrats @Delilah7 really pleased for you!

Where is everyone else in their Cycle? I'm on CD 3, so another week til I should be getting to the fertile window. Lets home cycle 5 is lucky for me.

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 15:25

@Charm23 you don't normally have to. I just got a midwife pack last time. However my doctors ringing me tomorrow as I want to discuss an early scan of notnill get it privately.

Can anyone of you help me with the weeks though? Obviously it's saying I'm pregnant 1/2 weeks which is obviously when I conceived but based on my last period it has been 5 weeks since my last period. Yet apps are saying I'm 4 weeks 3 days pregnant... so confusing 😂

@delilah7 since first day of last period x

stormtrooperjulian · 01/11/2018 15:48

Checking in Smile CD5 and should be heading into my fertile week in a couple of days. Fingers crossed that cycle 4 is a lucky one for me!

@Delilah7 you definitely have to stick around here and keep us all company while we wait for our turn Smile

Welcome @MrsLBear and @MrsEG

Welcome @MrsLBear and @MrsEG 😊

@EltzBee im CD3....I had bit of a strange one and thought CD1 was last Friday but turns out was just a random bleed as nothing followed for 4 more days! So strange, it's never happened to me before. I did a test but was negative! So counting from Tuesday!!

My fertile week will be from 11th onwards roughly.

Thinking of trying Pre-seed this month, anyone used it before?

Xx

KatBeCool · 01/11/2018 15:57

@EltzBee in CD11, fertile week started today.

@Delilah7 what @sunshine1987 said. Those tests really shouldn't phrase it the way they do. There's no way it can detect a one week pregnancy, technically there's no such thing, or more like Schroedingers cat pregnancy since we don't even ovulate that early but can end up pregnant that month. So glad you're staying around!

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 16:01

@sunshine1987 so you think I'm 5 weeks three days? As my last period was 2nd October x x

@stormtrooperjulian I ain't going anywhere till he or she's here! 😂

@KatBeCool that's lovely.

So my last name is Bell.
I've got this song for Xmas announcement as I'll be 12 weeks. Going to have a baby Bell in my hand and sing 'Jingle bells Jingle Bells baby bells on its way. Oh what joy the summer will bring, of July 2019! ' 😂😂😂😂

@KatBeCool oh love that idea of schrodingers! Made me chuckle.

@SullyWifey ah cool we're cycle buddies this month then! :) I think counting the first proper day is probably right, as spotting can occur technically at any point I suppose?

sunshine1987 · 01/11/2018 16:07

@delilah7 haha brilliant. Can you make the red wrapper into a Santa’s hat and stick on the baby bel too? x

sunshine1987 · 01/11/2018 16:10

@delilah7 I make it 4 weeks 2 days x

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 16:21

@sunshine1987 GREAT idea! God I can't count for shit Hahahaha. Well 4 weeks and 2 days it is xx

@SullyWifey I have just ordered some Pre-seed today, a friend of mine fell pregnant using it and I’ve been much too scared to use a normal lubricant while trying. I found it on Amazon!

cupcakesandglitter · 01/11/2018 16:22

@Delilah7 OMFG I TOLD YOU!!! I'm so happy for you omg 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 16:24

@cupcakesandglitter you've been on this journey with me through both of my pregnancies!!! So have most of you tbh!!! @FlapJackered @Crossfitgirl ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Checking in, 8dpo today and hoping against anything that it's worked this month after the MC last month. I've got sore boobs which is the only real symptom I had while pregnant last time, I can hope can't I :)

Congratulations @delilah7 doctors will date from last period for ease untill first scan but if you know when you ovulated you can calculate it from then, just add 2 weeks onto how many dpo you are

RanchoRelaxo · 01/11/2018 16:27

@SullyWifey I got pregnant an my 2nd month of using pre-seed, I defo think it helped and have continued using it, warning though, it's super runny and gets everywhere 😂

FlapJackered · 01/11/2018 16:30

@Delilah7 ❤️❤️❤️

cupcakesandglitter · 01/11/2018 16:39

Sorry welcome @EltzBee @MrsLBear ❤️ this definitely is a madhouse 😂😂

@Delilah7 I've just told my DH - I feel like we're all friends and he HAD to know, he's happy too 😂😂 it's so nice all of us going through it together, don't leave!!

I'm on CD6 (I just had to check to see, feels like AF started yesterday!) AF is over, I had some fantastic sex last night I can't lie 😂 this month I'm going to just not really think about it because I'm convinced I'm not ovulating. Gonna keep up with the folic acid (just remembering I haven't taken it for three days!!!) and wait for the blood tests and scan. Not much I can do until then 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone else getting ready for Christmas? I have one free weekend this week where DH isn't working so we're Christmas shopping eeeek 😬😬😬😬😬 I'm so excited!!!!!!

KatBeCool · 01/11/2018 16:39

@SullyWifey don't use PreSeed generously hahaha. 1ml is all you need, otherwise your DH might need a paddle and a life preserver as it'll feel like an ocean 😂

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 16:43

@cupcakesandglitter awwww tell him thank you!! I'm OBSESSED WITH CHRISTMAS!! I have three things left to but. I'm awfully organised and normally skint myself out 😂😂😂😂

KatBeCool · 01/11/2018 16:45

@cupcakesandglitter I keep telling DH to get the Christmas tree out and he keeps refusing with it not even December. Our place looks so much better all decorated though. I am so ready for Christmas!

cupcakesandglitter · 01/11/2018 16:49

@Delilah7 @KatBeCool IM SO GLAD ITS NOT JUST ME 😭😭😭 I have the wreath in the hallway, the decorations have started slowly being arranged so they're ready to go up, I've found the lights I want for the porch, I've bought winter automatic sprays for every room, got the Christmas candles out, and bought the winter zofloras.... it's our first Christmas in this house (and just the two of us) so I may or may not be going slightly overboard 😂😂

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 16:50

@cupcakesandglitter same here hun!!! I get to buy new Christmas tree and wreath I'm so excited!!!
