@Louise392 I hope it all works out for you, maybe an elected csection would be your best option. Was it Friday gone you met the midwife? How did it go?

@Lammoshay, I have everything crossed for you! We need some more BFPs in here.

Welcome @Anon93 Grin

Congrats :Holiday16, I hope it all goes well for you Flowers

OK so I have been temping the last while, and I am none the wiser. I was taking pain meds for my broken toe, and my friend made a comment about how that would affect my chart when I showed her, and also I had a flu so that could affect it as well as the cold and flu tablets I was taking. So broken toe happened on the 9th Feb, flu started on the 16th Feb until around the 22nd, according to Flo Ov was the 28th of Feb, but look at my charts, it seems to me (first month temping so really I haven't a clue) that I Ov on the 3rd? Or am I totally wrong on that? Help needed from you lovely ladies who have temped before!

@immeanttobeworking I am just going to leave it a while and see how i feel a bit further down the line. I spoke to her on the phone last week and she did the booking in with me early, she is coming this Friday round the house to chat again and meet face to face and do my bloods, not looking forward to them at all :(

Louise392 · 04/03/2019 17:24

congratulations @holiday16 I am 6 weeks on Thursday :)

Sounds promising @Lammoshay fingers crossed for you, How long til you can test?

Lammoshay · 04/03/2019 17:38

Hey Louise- can start testing 9dpo so wed/thu or may just leave till AF.
I don’t feel pregnant if your suppose to feel any type of way, but you never know x

Louise392 · 04/03/2019 17:46

Not long now then @lammoshay, It is still early, i had hardly any closer to the time really.
Feel so bloated today and having pms pains off and on since i found out so its all very strange

Anon93 · 04/03/2019 20:43

Congratulations @holiday16 💐

@ImMeantToBeWorking I bought a thermometer and fertility chart off eBay and haven’t managed to figure it out so it’s now been dumped in the back of my wardrobe 😂

So I’m suffering really bad again with nausea, it’s not just in the mornings it comes in waves throughout the day and I feel it so bad right now so fingers crossed that’s a good sign even if all my other “symptoms” disappeared! 😊

Holiday16 · 04/03/2019 21:14

Thankyou for the well wishes Smile
I am really tired all the time, feel sick for most of the day and my appetite has completely gone. I have also had mild cramping for past two weeks. In general I just Feel awful and bloated all the white!
Hoping I will start to feel more human as the pregnancy progresses x

ImMeantToBeWorking · 05/03/2019 11:58

@Louise, don't worry about the bloods, you will be 100% I am not sure we get that kind of attention in Ireland, I have never heard of it anyway, I think we have to go in for all our tests. I am 50mins to an hour from the nearest maternity wards and nearest maternity hospital is 2hours from me (which is where we will need to go if there is anything wrong) so the appointments will be fun!! Just need to get pregnant first.

@Anon93 - not that you need it now, but I use the chart on the Flo and Ovia apps. Using the two of them for the min. Not sure which one is better.

@Lammoshay you are very patient, I couldn't wait that long if I am honest!

Anon93 · 05/03/2019 14:05

Having that dreaded dull before period ache today and I’m due on Saturday so have a bad feeling I’m out this month 😢

Anon93 · 05/03/2019 14:07

@ImMeantToBeWorking I’m using Flo and Fertility Friend at the moment, I like the FF app because you can log a positive OPK and it changes your test day to be more accurate

Louise392 · 05/03/2019 14:16

@immeanttobeworking Its a new midwife service thats through the NHS but they are separate to the community midwifes called One to One midwives, they do all your appointments at home and scans are at their centre rather than at hospital so its a lot more load back and personal, ive never known of them til this pregnancy.

Sounds like fun travelling everywhere but will be well worth it in the end fingers crossed that will be soon :)

hopeful31 · 05/03/2019 19:24

Does any one know if it's possible to not ovulate? I'm on cd12 and usually have a flashing smiley at this stage and I have nothing. I even bought new tests incase the battery was going on the test and it's the same. I'm worried that I may not ovulate this month. Is it possible??

Lammoshay · 05/03/2019 21:03

@hopeful Cd12 is still quite early.
You may OV late. I don’t OV till at least day 14 on a 28 day cycle.

OP posts:
Lammoshay · 05/03/2019 21:04

I caved and tested on a ERFR this afternoon and BFN :(
Again I don’t feel any pregnancy symptoms so think I’m out- I know it’s early still but I just know :(

OP posts:
hopeful31 · 05/03/2019 21:54

@Lammoshay I'm so sorry to hear that. When is af due ?

Lammoshay · 05/03/2019 22:02

@hopeful in 5 days. X

I couldn’t wait any longer and tested this morning and I was half asleep and peed a bit in the window 😂 (sorry TMI) but I’m sure it’s a faint positive, although because I’ve peed all over the stick I don’t know if I’ve done it right, what do you think guys? I’ve been really feeling like AF is going to show up any minute!
