@TheChineseChicken that's good to know. I will definitely try that. Thank you! 💐

Ells0204 · 18/05/2019 20:50

Ahh everyone. So glad I found you! I got logged out of MN so didn’t get the notification on the new thread, went back to the old one to try and post and couldn’t! Just by chance I scrolled through and saw there was a new thread! Is it weird that I felt comfort/relief at finding you all 😂 a bit like the panic that sets in when you lose a parent in a supermarket...

Anyway

OMG @thechinesechicken looks like a BFP...please don’t keep us waiting until Tuesday 😆

@codenameduchess so glad your scan went well. You must be so relieved

TheChineseChicken · 18/05/2019 20:55

Hey @Ells0204, I wondered where you were! This thread is a really lifeline - it's great to have people to talk to when you can't talk to people in real life. How are you getting on?

I did another test this evening and the line is getting darker. I will save a CB until Tuesday as I know they're not as sensitive and I don't want to risk a BFN.

How is everyone else enjoying the weekend? @dottyp0104 are you testing soon?

I already have raging pregnancy hunger - goes from 0-60 instantly. And disturbed sleep...

@TheChineseChicken your test looks good. I caved and have been testing for last few days ( all the while knowing there is nearly no chance this soon, although was convinced could see an imaginary faint line) Today though I am having some really uncomfortable cramps, had to take some painkillers which is unusual, and some weird tingling in boobs so feeling slightly optimistic. AF due thur or fri 🤭. Your bfp has got me excited for tomorrows test 🤣

TheChineseChicken · 18/05/2019 21:10

Eek @dottyp0104 I really hope you get a positive test. Funny cramps is a good sign, as is tingling boobs. Keeping everything crossed

@TheChineseChicken really hope so, its taken a while, and everyone - and I mean everyone, is pregnant 🙄. I am 38 this year and really feeling I am running out oftime. Been making a real effort to be healthier, cut down diet coke,eating better and walking everywhere so hope the hard work pays off

blackfriars · 20/05/2019 10:17

@TheChineseChicken just remembered to check back on this thread to see how you were getting on - so pleased to see your news! Congrats :)

TheChineseChicken · 20/05/2019 12:57

@blackfriars that's sweet, thanks! How are things with you?

Ok-ish thanks, feeling more cheerful than I did last week and ready to get on with cycle 6! Though went to my niece's christening on Saturday and couldn't even try to count the number of people who said 'you'll be next!' or even flat out asked if we are trying - since when is this ok?! You have to laugh!

TheChineseChicken · 20/05/2019 18:51

@blackfriars it's amazing the number of people who ask questions like that. They must either have no children or have had no trouble conceiving. It's so hard to know how to answer! Glad you're feeling positive about the next cycle.

Ladies, driving myself bonkers here.....
I just had a look at my opk for this month. I still had a strong positive on sat 11th so does this mean I hadn't ovulated until after then (fitbit amd flo are predicting 10th and 8th - no difference eh)

If thats the case then would explain my lack of luck for the last year.... i have been completely out whack with dates

TheChineseChicken · 20/05/2019 19:17

@dottyp0104 when did you first get a positive OPK? I think you ovulate 12-36 hours after the surge starts, not ends, though I'm not 100% sure about that

OP posts:
dottyp0104 · 20/05/2019 19:27

@TheChineseChicken my two strongest were 10th and 11th

TheChineseChicken · 20/05/2019 19:29

Do you should have ovulated sometime between the 11th and 13th I think? When did you DTD?

OP posts:
TheChineseChicken · 20/05/2019 19:31

11th and 12th I mean

OP posts:
dottyp0104 · 20/05/2019 19:31

@TheChineseChicken 10th and 12th then OH was away

dottyp0104 · 20/05/2019 19:37

So theoretically instead of being 10-12dpo I may actually only be 7dpo. 🤔🤔
This is sooo complicated I cannot believe I have spent the last 20 years panicking incase the pill failed etc when actually at the rate I am going I would have more chance winning the blooming lottery 🤣
On the plus side, had loads of cramping this weekend and now have some mild nausea so maybe theres some hope

TheChineseChicken · 20/05/2019 19:44

What were you basing 10-12 dpo on if your positive OPK wasn't until the 10th? If you did ovulate shortly after that then DTD on the 10th would have been good timing

OP posts:
dottyp0104 · 20/05/2019 19:56

I was going by the dates on my apps fitbit and flo which are obviously completely out of sync.
Ive only just started using the strips regulary this month.
Fingers crossed, at least have something to work on next month🙄

TheChineseChicken · 20/05/2019 20:05

Well you might have caught it anyway! Let's hope so

OP posts:
MummyBearBoo · 20/05/2019 23:22

Fingers crossed for you both @dottyp0104 and @TheChineseChicken -let us know ASAP re CB test tomorrow it all sounds very positive so far!

TheChineseChicken · 21/05/2019 07:22

Well here it is in B&W. Still a long way to go - AF only due today!

@MummyBearBoo how many weeks are you now?

@TheChineseChicken thats brilliant! Congratulations xx

Ells0204 · 21/05/2019 17:39

Oh my gaaaad @thechinesechicken congratulations Flowers

I literally can’t believe this has all happened to us all one after the other in a matter of weeks!

I’m thinking we should give it a few more weeks and create a pregnancy thread together! Although “crushing disappointment of pregnancy” doesn’t really have a ring to it Hmm

TheChineseChicken · 21/05/2019 17:46

@Ells0204 that doesn't sound very optimistic! I'm definitely up for a pregnancy thread if the next couple of weeks work out.

Do you have your scan this week?!
