Despite my TTC last month, it resulted in my AF arriving Christmas Day (deep joy!) it's round 2 this month! I'm due to ovulate on Monday (6th) so anyone else wanna join me, with the overthinking, being excessively paranoid, mystery pregnancy signs and taking PT's when you know you shouldn't be! 🤣🤣
Feel free to jump on the crazy train with me!

Thank you @ablisha hopefully it was a false BFN for you! I'll keep you all updated for sure! DH has sworn me to secrecy until I get to 12 weeks! He even told me I can't tell my mom! 😳
If all goes well and this isn't a chemical then I'll be getting an early scan. There is now way I'm waiting until I'm 12 weeks! 😬😬😬
You're the only lovely ladies I can talk to for next month or so! 😬

I'm really hoping I ovulated a later than my app says I should have. I am going to use OPKs next month!

Yes definitely keep talking - you've given me hope ☺️

Ok so after getting a flashing smiley face on OB OPK CD9 I took my prenatals, my folic acid (have been since last January), we DTD this evening, used conceive plus, DH "stayed in" for 10 minutes 😂, I did a handstand. We have officially gone mad. I'll walk myself out.....

Flowerpot26 · 21/01/2020 07:08

Morning girls! I took a test last night and was negative but just took one now with first wee and it's positive! Says 1-2 weeks! Eek, got my little boy to run in with it to hubby, congratulations to the othersand hope everyone is doing okay!! I someone got locked out so not been able to read thru all the posts everything yet! But just wanted to tell someone 😂 xxx

Ginge35 · 21/01/2020 07:49

Yaaaaaaassssss @Flowerpot26 this is AMAZING NEWS!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
DH didn't believe me when I got my BFP yesterday evening so I've just taken my CB Digital and it also says 1-2 weeks!
@FarmerWantsABaby you are hilarious! That post really made me chuckle! Hey, the handstand worked for me, so one can but try! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I barely slept last night! Think I got about 3 hours in total, none of it all together! I still can't stop coughing and my brain has officially gone into overdrive! Haha!
Baby dust ladies! ❤️

Still no AF this morning but instead a stomach bug so that might of delayed it I guess!

DustyDiva · 21/01/2020 12:12

@Ginge35 yipeeeeeeee!!!! Massive congrats to you lady 😍😍😍

DustyDiva · 21/01/2020 12:12

@Flowerpot26 woooohooo! Congrats to you too 😍😍

DustyDiva · 21/01/2020 12:14

@Goldie0109 yaaaay!!! Congrats to you also this is amazing!!!! 😍

EffRam · 21/01/2020 12:39

Oh my word congratulations everyone!

Just got my period here right on time! Will add in handstands this month Grin

Goldie0109 · 21/01/2020 13:48

My BBT has been dropping over the last 2 days so now I am worrying it will be a chemical pregnancy. I can only wait and see and cross my fingers I guess! Thanks @DustyDiva! So many BFPs on this thread it is awesome 😊 xxx

Why1stheskyblu3 · 21/01/2020 14:59

Wow, so exciting! Huge congrats all round 😁 I can't test for another week and getting very inpatient. One minute I decide this has been a good month, have had cramping, tired, tender breasts and weirdly a bit of thrush (tmi, sorry! I usually only have if been on antibiotics) and the next minute I decide it's actually normal pre-AF routine. Flip, flop, flip, flop 🤯

Ginge35 · 21/01/2020 15:00

Oh god don't say that @Goldie0109 I hope not! That means mine could be too! 😩😩😩 if I get to next week I'm going to say I'm in the clear with the chemical pregnancy and see what happens and keep my fingers crossed for the next 10 weeks until I get a scan!
I'm not telling a soul yet. Just me DH know for now. Don't want to get anyone's hopes up 😬😬😬

A bit of a topic change but I'm currently tracking my BBT on a chart (using Kindara). Does anyone know when you mark your temp shift? I know there's a drop before/on (?) ovulation and then a rise for a few days? Is this fright?

Goldie0109 · 21/01/2020 18:55

@FarmerWantsABaby You're temperature is low (below the 'coverline') between your period and ovulation and then rises the day after you have ovulated. The day you ovulate it will likely rise a little to just below the cover line. Xx

Goldie0109 · 21/01/2020 18:57

@Ginge35 Hopefully we will both be fine!! I am just keeping my fingers crossed and being grateful each day I am pregnant - I agree I will deffo chill out in a week or so! Will you get an early scan or wait until 12 weeks? X

FarmerWantsABaby · 21/01/2020 19:01

Thanks @Goldie0109 What is the cover line though? Are they all different for everyone? Or is there a standard? I'm so confused 😫

Ginge35 · 21/01/2020 19:04

@Goldie0109 If all is well by the time I've been to see my doctor next week, then I'll be booking an early scan for 6 weeks. I cant wait until 13 weeks I'll properly lose my shit if I do, as the not knowing if everything is ok will really bother me. I struggle with anxiety and depression anyway, so it probably won't be healthy for me to wait until 12 weeks!
I've already found a clinic close to me, so I'll just book in with them for mid Feb, as that will be 6 weeks to the day pretty much! Fingers crossed for us both! 🤞

BecauseReasons · 21/01/2020 20:07

@Ginge35, if you struggle with anxiety I wouldn't recommend an early scan before seven or ideally eight weeks because they frequently struggle to find a heartbeat at six and then you have a week of anxiety before they can check again. If you spend a long time on the pregnancy boards you can see how often it happens. 9 times out of 10 it's totally fine but the poor woman's been on edge for seven days thinking the worst.

Ginge35 · 21/01/2020 20:39

@BecauseReasons thank you for that! I appreciate the info! As I said in my previous post I'm going to wait until next week to book an early scan, as I should be out of the danger zone for a chemical pregnancy by then.
I'm so glad I found this site! I'm fricking clueless when it comes to all this! Haha!
I'm getting a lot of twinges in my back, boobs still sore and my belly sounds like bubbles popping! It's such an odd feeling! I can't lie on from now either as it hurts my tummy! Is that all normal?

OP posts:
Goldie0109 · 21/01/2020 21:23

@FarmerWantsABaby I'm not sure how it is calculated as my app does it for me but I know it is different for every woman. I think it is just drawn a fraction above the last temperature before your temperature spikes after ovulation. So requires getting to know your cycle and usual temps. @Ginge35 I know the feeling! It's been 2 days and already feels like an eternity - waiting another 7 and a half weeks feels like forever. X

Ginge35 · 21/01/2020 21:38

@Goldie0109 I still can't believe I got a BFP! Me and DH are in shock as I thought I'd be jumping all over the place when I got my BFP, but instead I was like 😳😳😳😳😳
I don't think I will believe it until I have a scan!
Not telling anyone, especially my mom is gonna be torture!
Fingers crossed for us both and the other ladies who got a BFP this week, everything turns out alright! 🥰🥰🥰

OP posts:
Goldie0109 · 22/01/2020 07:26

@Ginge35 Bless you! Yeah I was more shocked than I thought I'd be. I know what you mean I spoke to my mum last night and she asked what I'd been up to and my mind went blank as basically this is all I've been thinking about! I've told a best friend and my sister but waiting a while before anyone else. On the plus side my temperature is back up! So I'm going to chill out now and put away the thermometer as it is making me loopy x

ablisha · 22/01/2020 11:26

I am so confused. Was due on Monday, AF still hasn't arrive. 3 BFN.
Had spotting last night pink colour and now brown CM (TMI sorry!)

Wiggleyfingers · 22/01/2020 11:57

Oh my goodness @Ginge35!!! I knew that wasnt an evap ❤❤❤❤ I'm so exciting for you, congratulations!! Have you moved over to a birth club yet? There are quite a few but would be nice to stick together as I bet our due dates are almost exact! Mine is the 30th September!
