Old one almost full!

@XjustagirlX do whatever helps you! At the end of the day you're the only one who can accurately track changes in your body

@ELW85 I've definitely got that Friday feeling and am ready to get away!

@Lozzlepop I'll be 13dpo, which is when I got my bfp last time.. I'm too impatient, I don't think I'll be able to hold out too much longer! 😂 This cycle has been long enough - currently at CD56!!

@Mrskcam disappearing cervix sounds promising?? From what I read it's soft and high but closed in early pregnancy. I actually tracked mine for the first time yesterday and it was high but felt 'medium', whatever that means!

@LokiCat I've on and off kept an eye on it and I swear this time last cycle it was mid and firm and then went quite low like I didn't have to try hard to find it at all but it's fully vanished today so who knows. Everything I read about it is conflicting it's so annoying

@MrsH497 - oh no I hope your ok? Fingers crossed it’s a promising sign for you ☺️

@Lozzlepop - how many weeks are you? Literally the all day/night nausea has appeared from yesterday aka since I found out 🤨 We have decided not to tell anyone, which I’m finding really difficult but he is worried about to many people finding out before the wedding (and we have very old fashioned traditional grandparents so we are hoping if all being well to pass the baby off as a honeymoon baby 🤣 for them!)

Good luck to all those who are testing this weekend? must be 5 of you? Got my fingers tightly crossed for you all 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Mrskcam that fits from what I read. It's low, hard and open for the period to come through. However goes high and soft in pregnancy..

@ELW85 yes it does and doesn't as feeling nauseous so much isn't ideal lol! Yes, I have my fingers crossed for all the ladies testing at the weekend, that would be lovely!

@MrsH497 sometimes you just end up having a coughing fit, but fingers crossed theres another reason!

@XjustagirlX 9DPO is still super early, when is AF due? maybe hold off and test in a few days?

@LokiCat thats a good amount of time to test! I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏻that is a long cycle!

@PippaPug I am 5 weeks and a day, apparently the nausea really kicks in from week 6 🙈 Ahhh thats good thinking! We have pretty traditional parents too and we aren't married (DP has been married before) but Im pretty sure once the baby is here they won't care! A week today to the big day am I right? How exciting!!!

Thanks @Lozzlepop think it's just one of those things nothing else.

Poor you @Lozzlepop, I'm 7 weeks today and apart from moving away from someone cause I didn't like the smell of their lunch I've not had any nausea so far.

@PippaPug huge congratulations to you. Have an amazing wedding and honeymoon!

@Lozzlepop meant 6! Stupid fat fingers!

Just hoovered and steamed my kitchen floor and I feel like I've pulled every muscle in my stomach 😖 what is going on 😩

Ugh think I can really feel af coming

I'm 13dpo do you think it's too early to test? I know I said I was gonna hold out but my moods today are crazy and I never normally get mood swings so I just want answers now really if I can

@Mrskcam

I dont think 13dpo is too early! Try hold on if you can but theres a good chance to test will be accurate

@Anny27 I feel so all over the place. I wanted to hold out but I'm feeling so emotional that I would like to be able to put it down to something if possible, agh dunno what to do

@Mrskcam I wouldn't say it's too early. When is AF due?

@Mrskcam I don't think it's too early.
I had a bfp at 13dpo previously and will be doing the same again on Sunday!

My cramping keeps getting worse 😩
Constantly running to the toilet to make sure af hasn't started! My colleagues must think there's something wrong with me!

@Lozzlepop af is due on Monday and I usually get spotting for two days before so my spotting should start tomorrow.

@MrsH497 af due Sunday, I'm like clockwork.

@LokiCat af cramps here too so confused what to think

@MrsH497 what was it you were drinking out of interest?

@LikeTheFruit I’m with you on the smells, things that smell nice smell absolutely amazing and things that don’t smell so nice make my stomach churn!

@Mrskcam deffo not to early to test 🤞🏻

@XjustagirlX I have everything crossed for AF not turning up ☺️

I just went a bit crazy and read online that opk strips may be able to detect pregnancy. Something about the molecules LG and hcg being similar sizes. The opk will have a dark line if pregnant. Has anyone ever done this? I’ve just done it but no line showed.

@XjustagirlX i think you have to have quite high hcg levels for the OPK strips to pick it up ao probably wouldn't detect untill a week past period due. Not entirely sure though

@Lozzlepop a smoothie just did not sit well had awful heartburn as well

@MrsH497 that’s not good!

Come home to water pouring in again, Taylor Wimpey says they will send someone to have a look......in a month 🙈🙈 DP went up in the loft and confirmed we have a hole in the roof 😫

@Lozzlepop we have a Taylor wimpey home has our fair share of issues! But I do love a new build

It's a smoothie I've had before as well

So that was either a chemical or an imagination baby. Line gone, but enjoying some prosecco.

I'm taking it as evidence that I mightn't need ivf, which is nice!
