@MummyBearBoo thanks I think he does feel more grown up. Its cute though as he doesn’t recognise his reflection in mirror anymore he thinks the baby in the mirror has changed! Aww your dd’s hair sounds gorgeous and you’re so lucky yourself to have such thick curly hair like you said! I’d love lovely thick hair!

Scarletrose18 · 22/01/2019 21:20

Hi All!

How are you @pasta ? Hopefully that wave of sickness was only a wave and u dont get morning sickness this time. Your appointment is tomorrow isnt it? Dont forget to let us know how u get on at it. 🙂
Yes im 7dpo but im testing this weekend... I couldnt wait until next weekend as im too impatient 😂 plus my luteal phase has been about 13/14 days, so AF should be due on about Monday.

How are you @coco Cute that ds loves his new hair and keeps stroking it. I know someone who puts ds hair in a bobble 😁Do you have loads of pg tests? From getting the 10 free ones each time I have bought opks then buying the big pack that we bought... I have loaddds! Lol. I wish it was Sat already so I can test. I may cave and do one on Fri but defo wont before then You wont be far behind me with your testing. Hopefully you will be sipping pop with your pizza on superbowl day 😉😊

@mummyb Are your opks darkening any? Hope you have had lots of time to dtd on your fertile week with dh being home 🙂
Im sure you will have another dc very soon and your little girl wont be the baby anymore. Im sure with her being so grown up that she will love helping you look after a little baby.

@mfbroome Have u managed to stay really relaxed this cycle and not think much about tww then? I have been terrible, I feel like im going crazy because I feel pregnant and I know its all in my head as im only 7dpo, im even dreaming that I am, 😂🤣😂 Dont think I should be alowed out. 🙈🙊

sorry if I have been a pain this tww ladies, feel like I have been going on and on about myself, I dont mean to but I dont have anyone else to blow off steam about my crazy thoughts too.
💖💜 Im grateful to have you all to listen to me and make me feel a bit less crazy. 💜💖

Don't apologise, @Scarletrose18!! 💛 TTC is crazy stressful, its great to have this thread to let off steam, we all totally get you. You're allowed to go on about yourself (even though I promise it doesn't sound like you are!) - its not like you can just talk to strangers on the bus about this kind of stuff can you?! Wink

I've really got my fingers crossed for you this month, maybe dreaming about it is a good sign! I didn't mention it at the time because it seemed a bit 'woo' but the night before I got my BFP I dreamt I was holding three pregnancy tests in my hand - two negatives and one postive. Well I'd already tested twice in the two days before that and they were both clearly BFNs. The morning after the dream did another test and sure enough it was my BFP! Two negatives and a positive! 🙈

I think our bodies are super in tune to things we don't even know about yet. Really hope thats a good sign for you!!

Cocobana · 22/01/2019 21:42

@Scarletrose18 aww don’t be, you haven’t done that at all. Infact you’re quite the opposite and always kindly ask how everyone is and you always remember a lot more than I do about everybody’s individual situations. You really are lovely 💖 and a very nice person. 7dpo wow you’re getting to implantation territory, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that you’re on your way to becoming pregnant. Not long at all until you’ll be able to test ✨✨✨ haha oh god I hope I’ll be on pop but more than likely it’ll be the alcoholic kind if dreaded AF shows. I just hope this will be third time lucky! Oh yes I have so many pregnancy tests it’s great, I can obsessively take as many as I want if I’m feeling particularly pregnancy crazy on any given day 🤣 opks on the other hand I have ran out of so it AF arrives I’ll get on and order another batch for cycle 4. Haha I tried to convince dh about the bobble and how trendy it would be in a little top knot like alittle celeb baby but he’s wasn’t having any of it 🤣

Cocobana · 22/01/2019 21:45

@PastaSauceHoarder OMG that dream is like a psychic prediction. I bet when it came true you were like bloody hell did that just happen!?! How are you feeling? I hope your MW appt goes well, it’s going to be all official, they’ll write down your due date and everything, aww it’ll be lovely. 😃👍🏼

Scarletrose18 · 22/01/2019 22:18

Awk thanks you two, my fellow crazy cats 💜💜💜💜😂🤣😂

Oh my word @pasta thats crazy!! Your body must have known and been telling your mind!
My dream was a little bit more "wooooo" but not too crazy I think...😂 so in it, I got up to go to the loo, wiped and there was a little blood and I knew straight away that it was implantation and I was pregnant. Lol. So random. When I woke up I was confused about whether it was true or not.

Did you have any dreams like that before dd? Have you told anyone about being prg yet?

@coco trying to convince him about a topknot. 🤣😂🤣 That made me laugh!!
Im the same, im almost out of opks but to keep up the hope I dont buy any until af shows lol. Well they say third time is a charm dont they so lets watch this space for you! We had some snow today, not alot but still snow! 😁 Did you have any?

OP posts:
MummyBearBoo · 22/01/2019 23:17

Don't be sorry @Scarletrose18 I'd think I was crazy if it wasn't for this thread! They don't seem to be darkening but then the last 2 cycles they didn't darken the day before! Tonight is my DH first night off since Sunday! Really hope I get a positive soon!! Fingers crossed for you all testing soon!!

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 09:35

@Scarletrose18 sorry I fell asleep last night. How are you feeling today? Do you have any cramps or anything? I have noticed I’ve been very crampy this cycle, I was crampy during ovulation which normal for me and crampy again today and with only being 3dpo it’s making me think I am sensitive to the progesterone increase. I feel like I’m going to get my period it’s crazy! No snow but there’s frost today and it’s freezing .

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 09:35

which is*

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 09:38

I ran out of opks so never tested until it faded so hope I haven’t had a long surge and ovulating later! Shock

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 09:41

@MummyBearBoo how are your opks going?

PastaSauceHoarder · 23/01/2019 09:50

Morning all! Smile

We have snow, @Cocobana! Only the piddliest amount like, but snow nonetheless. Wink It must be quite bad further out though because the midwife had to cancel due to covering for others iced in. She's coming tomorrow instead so hopefully it melts a bit!

I hope those cramps are good signs @Cocobana, definitely too early for period pain right? Smile It sounds like you're covered for this cycle, did you ovulate the same kind of time last month?

It certainly was a weird dream, I felt slightly psychic afterwards! Grin I can't say I had the same kind of dream with DD, admittedly I used to dream about babies constantly before she came along though. 😂

Wouldn't it be crazy if you dreaming that was the moment you actually had implantation, @Scarletrose18?! Fingers crossed anyway!! 🤞🏻

I hope you get your positive OPK soon @MummyBearBoo, what CD are you on? Smile

Mfbroome · 23/01/2019 09:52

@Scarletrose18 oh u! If it weren't For u we wouldn't all be chatting! Your totes amazing ❤️ everyone has to have a chat about themselves that's what it's here for but the girls are right you always ask after everyone! U remember more than me!

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 09:57

Oh no @PastaSauceHoarder sorry you appt is delayed! Of all the time for the snow to come it’s typical isn’t it!? No I ovulated cd 17/18 last cycle and cd 15/16 this cycle. I DTD last on cd16. I know you can surge and ovulate later can’t you? If I’m ovulating later I’ll be out this month as I haven’t DTD in 3 days because thought I’d already ovulated. I had such strong symptoms and had a positive opk that did seem to fade abit on cd17! This is cd19 and I have period crampy pain. It can’t be a good sign because it would be too early for implantation so it’s making me think it’s later ovulation and this is stressing me out. I am due af 2nd Feb (cd28)

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 09:58

How are you feeling today @pasta? Hope you’re well.

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 09:58

times *

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 13:58

How are you feeling in your TWW @Mfbroome? Have you any symptoms?

Mfbroome · 23/01/2019 14:44

@Cocobana no nothing at all! Only a sore throat but I put that down to my dd having a cold and me feeling a bit snotty! And the weather of course. I feel absolutely normal lol x what about u?

Mfbroome · 23/01/2019 14:48

@PastaSauceHoarder love the dream story! Literally your little dream come true! Beautiful ❤️

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 14:56

Aww well hope you can test soon. I’m out this month I think, af not due until 2nd Feb but I just think I’m out 😃

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 15:02

Oh no @mfbroome hope your dd feels better soon. It’s so freezing outside so that doesn’t help!

MummyBearBoo · 23/01/2019 16:40

Still no positive OPK I'm now on CD23 @PastaSauceHoarder last month i ovulated CD26 and month before CD22 but when I got pregnant second time judging by my AF I ovulated on CD28 but we weren't TTC so I am not totally sure but my AF was every six weeks to the day - it was like this for about 8 months (tho due to the length I didn't have 8 cycles) then the month I actually got pregnant I must've ovulated in CD14!!!
You ain't out til your AF comes @Cocobana don't think I had any symptoms in the first two weeks of either of my pregnancies so don't overthink it!
Hope you feel better soon @Mfbroome!
I had really vivid dreams both times I was pregnant so maybe it a good sign @Scarletrose18!! Xxx

Scarletrose18 · 23/01/2019 16:51

@pasta Im sure you were dissapointed at the app being cancelled! Im glad you dont have long to wait for next one. Lol that would be so wierd wouldnt it!

@mfbroome , you were saying you feel totaly normal ... pasta felt nothing and got a bfp! 🙂 Do you think you will manage to hold out until next weekend?

@mummyb Mine went dark out of nowhere too so it could be any day for you now. Are u feeling fed up waiting for so long now?

@coco So I googled it (google always knows 😂) and read one thread, alot of people said they cramped a few days after and that it just happens sometimes in a cycle and some people felt it was a good sign. There was lots of threads so i only read one but if you have some free time later, maybe have a nosey and see what else it says. I dont think its a bad sign.... maybe you are cramping because you released 2 eggs and could have twins 👭🏽 😁
Yes coco, I felt very low down to left tiny cramps only for 20 mins then nothing. Slight change in cm too... im convinced im pregnant its crazy 😂🤣😂 but all these things are normal for before AF too so I may be building myself up for a big emotional fall lol.

PastaSauceHoarder · 23/01/2019 19:00

Awh @Scarletrose18, I bet you're driving yourself crazy!! Its really not too long to test now, three days? You did say Saturday, right? Smile Tiny cramps to one side is a good sign, I remember having that with my DD before I got a BFP! Implantation maybe?

Ah @MummyBearBoo, so your positive OPK could literally be any day now! Are you testing twice a day?

You know the rule @Cocobana, you're not out until AF comes! Wink

Sorry you and your DD are feeling snotty and grotty @Mfbroome, bloody horrible having a cold isn't it!

Cocobana · 23/01/2019 19:01

Thanks @MummyBearBoo hope you get your +opk very soon. You deserve it after waiting for so long and after everything. I'm keeping My fingers crossed for you, I want you to get your BFP soon as well! ✨✨✨

@scarletrose18 thank you so much for your reply huni and for taking the time to google it. I did have a look as well but there’s a lot of conflicting stuff. I’ve relooked at my opk on cd16 and it was definitely positive and then on cd17 it looks alittle lighter so I’m sure if I had have had opks left to continue testing they would have continued to fade. I havent felt fertile since and haven’t had any other classic symptoms. It did say online when you get a positive opk the egg can be released up to 48 hours later longer in some cases and I think I just panicked. Ewcm had gone and then got periody cramps this morning which really threw me off. I can only think it may be a reaction to the progesterone increase. Gosh who would have thought ttc would be so confusing!
Oh god @scarlet I really hope you are and get your BFP! It’s so hard to tell at this stage, I bet you can’t wait to test, are you texting from 10dpo? ✨✨✨
