@Cocobana thank you, its nice to have a great bunch of supportive women on MN! 🥰

Scarletrose18 · 18/02/2019 21:15

@mummyb sounds like you had a lovely time. Well done on the weight loss! Thats amazing. Do you feel better for it now?

@coco Can I get a woop woop 🙌👏 Positive opk 😁😁 Im sure your feeling relieved now and happy you can concentrate on the end of smep. Yes we had a nice time thank you.
Well im not sure, So after my positive opk I have 13 days then on the 14th day my AF comes. Is that 13 days LP? So my AF is due on 27th.

@hjwt I remember you said they told you at hospital a few days ago they would be doing an early scan for you, so it must just be routine when you go to hospital with the symptoms that you did. Im glad your bloodtest went well. I hope the scan goes well and you feel more relaxed after and can enjoy your pregnancy 💕

P.s sickness great sign too, high hormone levels 👍🏻

I agree @HJWT, its probably just routine to send you for a scan, just extra double-checking that baby is growing nicely as it should! Smile

I think that would be a 14 day luteal phase wouldn't it, @Scarletrose18? So 14 days after ovulation your AF shows, is that right? Smile Got my fingers tightly crossed for you this month, when do you think you will test? 🤞🏻

Hurray for the positive OPK @Cocobana, I really hope you've caught that egg!! How have you found doing the SMEP? I have heard good things about it. Smile Have you been using any preseed/conceive plus as well?

Cocobana · 19/02/2019 09:22

Thanks @Scarletrose18 I’ve had positive opks yesterday and today. What day do you normally count as 1 dpo (the day after the first day of positive or the day after the second day of postive?) Thats a nice length luteal phase, I’m hoping takingt vitamins this cycle will help lengthen mine alittle 🤞🏻

Cocobana · 19/02/2019 09:26

Thank you so much @pastasaucehoarder I hope so. I haven’t stuck to the SMEP completely as we’ve had a few times were we’ve DTD a little more than every other day and then misse a day but we’re going to try stick to the ending. I’m wondering if in my previous cycles I’ve not the DTD enough after my positive opk and maybe not given things the best chance. I haven’t used it, keep forgetting 🤣 I might have to once get to Friday though as I’ll prob be deeded out!

Cocobana · 19/02/2019 09:27

Hope you’re feeling well? It won’t be long until your nhs scan now and you’ll get to see your little baba again? I bet you can’t wait x

Scarletrose18 · 19/02/2019 21:53

@coco I remember reading that you can count from the first day of positive opk regardless of how many positive days you get after because the first positive is the surge... So if it was me I would count the day after the first day. What do you think?
I dont feel pregnant this month, im still hopefull but all my symptoms so far are exactly the same as last cycle. Well, we shall see soon enough.
Hope you have had a nice day x

Cocobana · 20/02/2019 07:52

@scarletrose18 thanks, I’ll go by that and my opk faded yesterday afternoon and was at its darkest the night before. I think I’m 2dpo today. Dh was away yesterday until very late so we didn’t dtd as we were too tired and I’m abit deeded out. I’ve not followed the SMEP as closely as I should have and DTD too much before the +opk and on the day of it we DTD twice 😊. So now I’m struggling to do the ending. After missing yesterday which was the better day to catch the egg while it was around I’m thinking is there any point tonight and the rest of the ending. I’m certain I ovulated Monday night. I have no symptoms now and no cm.
I feel with missing the ending I don’t have as much chance of getting pregnant now. You have such a good chance and I’m hoping you get your bfp huni x

Cocobana · 20/02/2019 07:54

It wasn’t a great day yesterday, ds is getting all four back molars at once so it’s been abit of a nightmare myself. I think his terrible two stage has ramped up lol. Hope you’re having a nice week.

Cocobana · 20/02/2019 07:54

Should day lately* not myself lol

MummyBearBoo · 20/02/2019 08:05

I do feel much better for losing weight I'm glad I'm in normal range BMI by quite a lot now considering I started at 9lbs in to the overweight bit!! Coz of my CP last cycle my period was really heavy so I didn't go to the gym and coz it's half term this week not had chance to go this week either - it'll be a killer when I go back next week!!! I've upped my calorie burn by 100 when I go coz I feel much fitter -I'm on the 3.5ww til ovulation!!! Then the 2ww after that!! I'll start OPKs on Monday which is CD 13 coz on my second pregnancy I was having a very consistent 6 week cycle but I actually ovulated 14 days after my period when I got pg!! Xx

HJWT · 20/02/2019 13:29

Hi everyone hope you are all doing well 💗 had my scan this morning there was a blob but nothing in it so they said they cant confirm a pregnancy yet as cant rule out ectopic until they see a baby! They took more bloods today and said its definitely doubled and its at 2837, so I have to go back for another scan next week xx

Scarletrose18 · 20/02/2019 14:11

@pasta Thank you, how are you doing? When is 12 wk scan? How did you announce to family about pregnancy? Seen alot of lovely ideas flicking online.

@coco doing the deed twice on Ov day is great!! Plus they say dtd before Ov day is important as sperm are waiting so I think you have a great chance and im hoping for you for a positive this cycle. 💜
Sorry ds teeth bad, you will be glad when they are finally through. My week has been long so far lol.

Scarletrose18 · 20/02/2019 14:16

@mummyb Your doing great with the weightloss. Yes getting the motivation is hard, I started trying to go walking more but I have lost my mo-jo today lol. Going to do some housework instead.
Would be so good if you ovulated cd14 this cycle!! As its alot of waiting for you otherwise isnt it.

@hjwt Sorry the scan didnt give you any reassurance. Your levels increasing is x good sign though! As I dont think they would continue to increase if was a cp. Hopefully this week goes in fast for you then until your next scan

Scarletrose18 · 20/02/2019 14:22

@coco @mummyb Ladies, found this, and hopefully this will give us all hope for this year because we have such a strong chance of concieving any cycle now. Look at these percentages! I actually feel better after seeing these 🙂

@MummyBearBoo well done you for your weight loss, you must have a lot of motivation and willpower. Hope you get a +opk as soon as possible so you’re not waiting too long.

@HJWT the fact there is something there in the place it’s meant to be is great news. As @scarlet said your levels are increasing as normal which is very promising. Hopefully your next scan will make you feel better and then you can start to enjoy your pregnancy.

Cocobana · 20/02/2019 19:31

@Scarletrose18 thank you for the chart, that does make things feel better doesn’t. Tracking ovulation increases our chances at least. I have to admit by the time I’ve caught my surge each cycle it’s lovely not to have to faff about with the opks and take a break for a bit.

Cocobana · 20/02/2019 19:31

doesn’t it*

Cocobana · 20/02/2019 19:32

Forgot your 💜🤞🏻✨😃👍🏼x

HJWT · 20/02/2019 21:59

@Scarletrose18 @Cocobana thanks guys! Hopefully will see a little bean on the screen next week! Its crazy to think if you all catch this cycle you will have November baby's! How cute a tiny bub at Christmas 🥰

Cocobana · 21/02/2019 06:40

Aww thanks @HJWT it would be but I’m not getting my hopes up too much. For some reason I think I’ll get my period next week. Ah how lovely, you will get to see how your little one has grown as supposed to and hopefully it’ll help put your mind at rest. x

Scarletrose18 · 21/02/2019 07:07

@coco I know it can be so monotonous (big word for the day 😂) at the end when youve been tracking for so long so its nice to relax now 🙂

@hjwt That was a nice thought, little November babies lol. Yes will be gd to see him/her and feel more reassurance

OP posts:
MummyBearBoo · 21/02/2019 10:45

@HJWT -how annoying you're left in limbo a little bit but if your HCG has doubled it shouldn't be a CP and I've heard Ectopic pregnancies are really painful? Xx

MummyBearBoo · 21/02/2019 10:45

So I'm sure you'd know if you were having an ectopic xx

Cocobana · 21/02/2019 15:03

@Scarletrose18 very impressed with your big word lol it’s incredibly wearisome isn’t it!? A fancy word back for you 🤣 I’ve just finished sticking a congratulations banner up and baking a surprise cake because dh rang me from work this morning and said he’s got the job he interviewed for last week. Hope you have had a nice day today. Friday tomorrow yay! 😃✨🍰
