What's going on

[molinski]

Due on Sunday. Currently day 31 of 33 day cycle. Sore boobs tired cramping off and on. Just did an OPK as nothing else indoors. Could this indicate I'm pregnant?

Or that you are getting the very common and normal LH surge before the start of af. To find out, take a proper test.

Yup, that's how I found out! 😁 x

I sure ur preggers, very dark line. Let us no! X

I also used an OPK which showed positive and sure enough the next day I got my BFP with a FRER. Good luck 😃🤞

@mumofone25 what's a FRER!? Sorry new to this and not down with all the abbreviations yet!

I only did that opk as a bit of a stab in the dark as boobs feel very different to how they usually do before start of AF, funny cramping and just feeling a bit off colour but can't put my finger on as to why. Probably just feeling the effects of never ending rain here in the South East 😂😂 don't want to test until day AF due as don't want to get hopes up.

@loveskaka I have read people do find out using these but just trying to think maybe this one is a dud/test is too old to be reliable/I'm having an off month and ovulating really late! X

@molinski its a first response early response. They’re very sensitive! It’s so hard just waiting isn’t it. How many days past ovulation are you? I tested positive at 13dpo.

@mumofone25 ah thank you I see! Might have to go on the hunt tomorrow if I can't be patient! I didn't actually use any opks this month at all and I can't be definitely certain what day I ovulated but I think possibly now I am 11-13dpo x

@molinski you can get them from boots and Superdrug. You get two in a packet and it’s always best to use your first wee in the morning. How long until your next period is due? Fingers crossed for you ☺️

Thank you @mumofone25 as you can tell it is my first time TTC and have been trying for 3 months with just trying to be relaxed as much as possible eg not doing opks every day or putting too much pressure on ourselves. I will go tomorrow and get some. Not due until Sunday so another couple of days x

You are very welcome @molinski. Yes it is so hard isn’t it trying to be relaxed when TTC and not letting it take over life. Not long until you are due then. Good luck! X

@mumofone25 Sooo hard that's my no. 1 most hated piece of advice oh just relax and it will happen I know people mean well but I get really eggy with that 😂 I have endometriosis so there's already a little bit of worry about fertility etc but I have tried to just go about life as usual. I think it is bit easier this time of year as so busy getting ready for Xmas etc. Will report back in a few days!

Test today! If your due AF tomorrow then it will defo show up. Hope u get the results you want. Took me a year to conceive felt like ages but now I have the best wee man and he will be 1 on Tuesday! 😱. Times goes by so quick. X

@lovesaka @mumofone25 see you in August bubba if I can grow you just perfectly x

Awww congratulations ❤️ x

Sorry I meant @loveskaka x

Ahhh @molinski congratulations to you!! That’s brilliant news ☺️😃

@loveskaka @mumofone25 thanks ladies. I feel ill already!! Terrified of it going wrong especially as I've got cramps. It's so strange I feel a lot different both physically and mentally to what I thought I would when I found out. But I am very happy and excited and trying not to worry x

@molinski I totally get what you are feeling. I feel exactly the same but just taking each day as it comes. Cramps are normal, everything will be stretching. It is alarming tho, especially when you’ve not experienced it before. I’ve got a reassurance scan tomorrow afternoon. I’m hoping everything is ok 🤞. Have you worked out your EDD? On the ante natal section there are threads for due dates. There’s an August one now so it’s nice to talk to other ladies who are also at the same or similar gestation ☺️
