[cupcakesandglitter]

Hi all - apologies if I've missed anyone out on here, I'm half asleep 😂

@FlapJackered @BabySquid @BambiOnIce80 @CookieWaffle @Crossfitgirl @Delilah7 @MrsAW2018 @MrsC87 @MrsR16 @EltzBee @FivexFive @ValidUser @RanchoRelaxo @rj995

❤️

@ValidUser all the best to you, hope it all goes well xx

@validuser Christmas bells 🎊 ahead of an exciting 2019

@EltzBee I sympathise! AF came and slapped me right in the face this morning! 4 days early... ah well, onto cycle 5!

@SullyWifey congrats hun! Awesome news 😊

@FlapJackered it'll happen for you, Hun! It'll happen for all of us one day!

@ValidUser sorry to hear you're out this month! Good luck xx

I took the weekend off and wow this thread moves fast!!! Huge big congrats to @MrsEG, @sunshine1987 and @SullyWifey!! Have I missed anyone else!? What an incredible few days!

@Crossfitgirl eeeek!! Fingers crossed for you [GRIN]

@Eltzbee big hugs what cycle are you on? Would it be worth taking one off over Christmas to just chill and focus on festivities etc.?

@ValidUser sorry to hear you're out this month, but sounding positive. Perhaps a cheeky little festive/New Year BFP on the horizon?!

I got a positive OPK on Saturday afternoon and then later that evening through until about Sunday lunchtime I got a weird stabby feeling on my lower left side. So I think I might have ovulated, which is very exciting!

We've had sex in the lead up as well on Saturday and Sunday, will do tonight and tomorrow just to be sure. I feel like this is the first time I'll be officially entering the dreaded 2WW as I was never quite sure of ovulation before. Luckily I've got some fun things planned to try and take my mind of it. Ha. We'll see.

This TTC is hard work for everyone!! Fingers crossed for all you ladies.

I found myself getting wound up watching Dynasties last night - Attenborough said that lions only have a few days every few months in which the female lion can conceive. Literally a few months later the bitch had twins. Without an OPK or bottle of folic acid in sight!!!

@MrsEG 😂 love it.

Yayyyyyy @SullyWifey!!! So so happy for you!!

Hahaha that really made me laugh 😂😂 so accurately describes how this TTC thing feels- sends you mad!

Omg @SullyWifey !!! Congrats!!!! ❤️ xx

@ValidUser best of luck sweet xxx

@MrsEG 😂😂😂

@DayDreamer1707 do you mean you got a strong positive on your OPK or your pg test?

@Bettythecat sorry strong positive on my OPK, yesterday and today x

@DayDreamer1707 I've had a strong positive today and Saturday with a negative in between on OPKs, cb still reading high with no peak. My hcg is now gone on pg test, so at a loss. I'm guessing hormones are still trying to figure out what's going on? Don't loose hope, so many posititive BFP stories, just might not be a textbook temp/opk/cm month?

@GemmaJen I have had a negative on a pregnancy test weeks ago after my MC. Also had a scan to say everything was clear and I could try again once I had my first AF which I’ve had. I’m just hoping this could possible be ovulation bleeding but I’ve just never experienced it before. Going to test again on with my OPKs and just hope it’s OV bleeding 🤞🏼

I'm only 4DPO, but both yesterday and today I've felt so nauseous and sicky almost like my tummy is full of water. I've been so good with symptom spotting but nope, had to start again 😂 HELP ME

@Sullywifey yay congratulations!!!

@ValidUser many many hugs to you my dear xxx

@EltzBee I think we all know how you feel. I've wanted this so much for so many years, it's been so tough. Anything would make me cry then I realised that this has been one of the biggest causes of my depression over the years. It just hides underneath everything else. It sounds like it might help to go talk to your doctor. I don't know about you but doing the charting, getting my bloods done, all helped to make me feel a tiny bit more in control even though I'm really not!

@cupcakesandglitter I started feeling nauseous at 4dpo ;)

I just went and did a test just to be sure things were going ok. My god it's the pinkest line I've ever had. This is real....

@CookieWaffle omg 🙈 yesterday I ate some bread and chips and both tasted off. Couldn't quite put my finger on it but they just tasted weird... could be in my head though but everyone else thought they were fine. Felt sick last night and again now I'm super nauseous again but I've eaten so no idea why! I'm so happy for you ❤️

@cupcakesandglitter oops sorry I should've been helping you not encouraging you! No no there are no symptoms! It's all in your head. (But maybe....) ;)

Thank you though, I've not told DP oficially yet, I need to work out how to break it to him...

@cookiewaffle how have you not told him yet? I basically screamed in my husbands face asking him if he saw a line like a crazy mentalist 🤷🏻‍♀️

@sunshine1987 after having 2 CPs I get extra cautious :) he just walked through the door and I was like 'so I'm preggo'

Ah sorry @cookiewaffle, that makes sense 💜

@CookieWaffle I can hope 😂😬 what did he say?! Xx

Okay now I'm crying :( I'm CD31, 4DPO. Blood tests on CD21 showed I was getting ready to ovulate, and then positive OPK on Wednesday at CD26, so I'm counting ov day as CD27.... just gone to the bathroom and there's brown discharge in my pants. Checked my cervix, same again. I think AF will be here tomorrow... which means a six day LP? Can anyone help? I feel so shit right now

@cupcakesandglitter I thought the same when I had brown discharge 7dpo. It must have been implantation bleeding for me. Fingers crossed it is for you x

@cupcakesandglitter could be implantation bleeding, keep positive. Do you know how long your LP usually is? It doesn’t tend to change x

@mrsof20118 isn't 4DPO too early to be implantation? X

@sunshine1987 it's usually 14 days so not due AF for another ten :( x
