Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

@1990shopefulftm Oh fab! Shows what a wino I am - I see ‘DH birthday’ and to me that would be a total booze fest!! I see now it would be so that you could give him the BFP as an amazing birthday present!! Good luck and 🤞🏻 Xx Sounds like you have really been through it recently too! Hope you’re all on the mend!

MrsEG · 05/05/2019 18:00

@starkid Yay Great news - happy BDing!! Xx

1990shopefulftm · 05/05/2019 18:10

@MrsEG Keeping my fingers crossed, we're trying to be realistic that it happening in the 1st cycle would be very good luck but it would be a wonderful birthday present for him. I feel mended really, I broke it from coughing from a horrendous virus which i didn't know was possible, so i m hoping I won't be in one of the rare instances where a baby kicking damages one of my ribs.

dahlia123 · 05/05/2019 19:37

Sounds so awful @Tropicana1. Glad the ovaries are safe and you're getting the care you need.

@McHelenz those lines look excellent! Fingers crossed for the tests you have.

Good idea on the stats @MrsEG. People can say what they are when relevant? Well done @starkid, I couldn't have managed!

starkid · 05/05/2019 23:19

Me again! So as I said, I had a nearly positive opk earlier today. Dtd about half hour ago then about 5 mins later felt a stabbing pain on one side of my lower abdomen. Only for a minute or less, then nothing. I did another opk just now and it's positive. Do you think that could have been ovulation pain? Is that normal? I didn't think ovulation happened during the lh surge, but I could be wrong 🤔 this is early for me to be ovulating!!

TTC First Baby - Thread 16!!
MrsEG · 06/05/2019 06:07

@starkid It very well could be! I get ov pain, it only lasts a minute but it sometimes stops me in my tracks!! How many CD are you/when were you expecting to ov?

starkid · 06/05/2019 07:25

@MrsEG - I'm cd14 today, and don't usually ovulate until maybe cd16-19. This will make my cycle only 25 days long if my luteal phase is the same and I ovulate today 😮 luckily we dtd a couple of days ago too, so will dtd again tonight and maybe Wednesday to be sure. I wouldn't have tested again until this afternoon if it wasn't for that sharp pain, so pretty thankful it happened 😛

How is everyone this morning? @McHelenz are you testing again today?

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 07:27

@starkid I've just woke up. I said I wouldn't but I probably will 😂.

starkid · 06/05/2019 07:32

@McHelenz I think you definitely should, with first wee if possible/you have tests!

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 07:38

@starkid I've dipped and am deffo waiting 3 mins this time!!

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 07:43

@starkid I still just can't believe this

Marleym28 · 06/05/2019 07:46

Congratulations @McHelenz

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 07:49

Thanks @marleym28. I'm trying not to get too hopeful because it's so early. I'm still not believing it!! I'm saving my digital until Wednesday so hopefully that cements it.

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 08:14

I'm still in disbelief and still testing.

TTC First Baby - Thread 16!!
Bettythecat · 06/05/2019 08:25

@McHelenz you don't need to be in disbelief or keep testing. You are definitely pregnant!!

Fivebyfive2 · 06/05/2019 08:27

@McHelenz, congratulations!! 🙂🎉

Now stop testing, at least for a few days!! You'll drive yourself crackers 😛

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 08:29

@bettythecat I've got two more tests (a frer and a digital) so just testing tomorrow and wed!

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 08:29

@fivebyfive I think because I'm not due on till tomorrow I just want to test day off and day after!

Marleym28 · 06/05/2019 08:55

@McHelenz what made you test? Was it the symptoms or the urge too?
Sorry to be nosey, just was curious

Literally had no symptoms this month, trying not to write it off though.
AF due 9th/thurs

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 08:58

@marleym28 impatience..haha.

I've had some quite intense cramps for the last week. Like period pains.

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 09:05

Also, it's deffo positive. I've just got a bit weepy watching game of thrones because it's nearly over 😂

MrsEG · 06/05/2019 09:54

@McHelenz You really don’t need to test anymore hun, you are absolutely pregnant! Congratulations! I hope DH believes you now!

What a lucky thread this has been! Anyone testing this week?

dahlia123 · 06/05/2019 10:07

Congratulations @McHelenz!!!

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 10:13

@mrseg I think I'll do the digital tomorrow. You know just coz I've paid for it 😂. I think he does, he just doesn't want me to get excited as it's so early

McHelenz · 06/05/2019 10:16

Thank you everyone. Im just hoping this works out well. We've been so lucky.
