New thread for the crazy gang part 2!

[Ellsbells112]

Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

@ellsbells112 that's interesting to hear. So many women on these threads have felt it before so not sure about that article...

I can just carry on telling myself the weird feeling and electric shocks in my tummy/leg are pregnancy signs. Dum de dum de dum

@Symptomspotter86 haha! It's more like a... Well for me that is, it was like something was pushing on me. Hey thinking about it it sounds crazy but I tell no lies. With my son I didn't feel anything though, I did have the implantation bleed. Whereas when I felt something pushing on my womb I didn't get any blood. It's mad how they can differ

@ellsbells112 I've never been pregnant so it is so hard to know what my body is doing and what is real and what isn't and what is a sign and what isnt. Come af I'm like "girl you are a mental case"

@Symptomspotter86 yeah it's crazy. The first month Ttc I convinced myself I was pregnant and I should know better if I've been pregnant before. But I think we day dream and wish to be pregnant badly 😭 anyways, Symptom spotting just gets me down 😂 and I always start at 4dpo when my cramps start 🙄

Hi 👋🏻
Just wanted to pop on to this thread for some advice and to talk to some other ttc ladies 😊
It’s my first cycle ttc, I have a 2 year old ds (He was 2 in October) and we are now ready to start trying for another! I’m 23, had a miscarriage and got diagnosed with PCOS before I got pregnant with my ds. I’ve ordered some OPK’s and started using them this month, I’m on cd 15 and I’m pretty sure I’ve already ovulated as I had ovulation pains and positive OPK’s but I’m not sure... wondered if anyone can give any advice? I’ve attached pics to see if this is what a positive OPK looks like. My cycles are between 27-31 days each month so I’m confused as to how I’ve ovulated so quickly this month.

@Cookiemonster19 no that’s not a positive ovulation test just yet. The line nearest to the green is the control line, you need the line closest to ‘max’ to be as dark as or darker than the control line. When was the test taken? It doesn’t look like you’re too far away from ovulation, or you could have just missed it.

Morning ladies x how are we this morning? @Quiffy how are you feeling? x
Well I had a dream that I was looking at a line appear on an IC and I had my BFP, so I got up this morning and used an IC...BFN as stark white as they come 😭 attached photos for your amusement x I’m 11DPO today, give or take one day because I didn’t use opks so going purely on ovulation pains x

@Cookiemonster19 I really recommend using an app like femometer or similar. You can take a pic of your opk and it will advise on whether it’s high low or peak. I found opks sooooo much easier after that.

@Katie1109 ah man, hopefully it’s just too early ❤️ I’m feeling good, I slept badly as I was scared about testing this morning but everything looks good. FRER darker, line came up on the free hpks I got with my ovu and the tiniest squinted on a one step (I thought they were meant to be sensitive 🤪). Going to try for a docs appointment today as I need to see if I need to come off some medication. Going to visit my parents this weekend so going to tell them as I can’t keep anything from my mum 😹

@katie1109 sorry you got a bfn 😢 you never know, maybe af still won't come? But I hate hearing that because I don't want to get my hopes up 😭 this is so crap!! Have you thought about acupuncture? I'm thinking about it...

@quiffy your bfp is giving me lifeeeee 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 how long was you trying again? What did you do this month? I need step by step guidance 😂

@Katie1109 still early days you never know plus those strip ones aren’t as sensitive as frer so take a little longer sometimes!

@Quiffy wow lines getting much darker now :) how are you feeling? I was shocked when I found out, happy then terrified, now just getting use to it 😂

Come on girlies you’ve all go this! I have a predicament though, my dp hasn’t told his parents, I have only told my mum, it’s like he’s too scared to tell them! It’s made me anxious now.... what do we do xx

@Quiffy your one step test gave me hope...I cannot see anything on yours and then a glaring BFP on FRER! Just shows you that the IC’s are not worth crap x
No cramps this morning, not feeling like af is on its way. Boobs still sore, slept badly 3rd night in a row and still have plenty of creamy Cm x

@Fredthespider ahhhhh okay! So I’m still in for a chance this month 🙈 I’m soooo confused with how these work.

@Quiffy congratulations on your BFP ♥️ What apps would you recommend? Should I test everyday? I have no idea how these things work 🙈

@Katie1109 sorry about the BFP but it's still early for you so a chance.

@Quiffy eekkk this is amazing!! You can 1000% say that is a huge BFP now!! ❤️

@Katie1109 BFN rather. I certainly wouldn't be sorry about your BFP 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@Sunflower2019 I don't think there's anything wrong with not telling DP's parents, unless there's a chance your mum would spill the beans before you'd told them yourself? X
Me and DH have already said this time round we think we'll actually keep it to ourselves a little longer, everyone knew before I was about 3 weeks last time!!😂

@Quiffy your BFPs makes me so, so happy! ❤️

@Ellsbells112 trying for 5 months and I think this is cycle 6 or 7 my periods have been quite short and I didn’t use an app in the start. This month I took evening primrose and Angus castus every day until ovulation, maca root and pregnacare conception every day and two Brazil nuts every day (I can’t actually remember what the nuts were for 😹).

We only dtd 3 times over ovulation and I put my moon cup in afterwards (moon cup was the only new thing this month) and stuck my legs in the air for 30 minutes. Btw taking a moon cup out the next day is absolutely minging, it’s like stewed man juice. At least blood is a pretty colour.

@Sunflower2019 feeling very shocked at the moment and scared. But incredibly happy. Just need to get my head around it and relax rather than worrying something bad could happen.

@katie1109 exactly, the ICs are rubbish in comparison. So definitely hope!

@Mumofboys17 it’s getting obvious as I’m quite small, showing already, they drink quite a bit socially so they will know somethings up, my partner is really close to them too so he does want to tell them but just feels anxious doing it! I’ve been wearing baggy clothes but people will soon know in the next few weeks, when I can’t hide it any longer! 😂 here is my bday meal away photo 🤷‍♀️ Sure we will think of something :) x

Only 5 weeks ish till my scan though so once that’s out of the way we can be more relaxed i guess 😊

@Sunflower2019 maybe a man thing? My DH is scared to tell his parents but super excited to tell mine. He was thinking about waiting but I think I’ve convinced him to tell them next month when he visits so he can do it in person (we live far away)

@Mumofboys17 thank you ❤️❤️❤️ I need you all to get bfps So we can have a bumps thread

Your bump is so cute!!!!

Thanks @Quiffy definitely bigger when you’ve had babies already! I think my little girl stretched me out so much it’s popped early! Scary!
Must be a man thing, I’m a little scared telling my dad if anything. I’m sure we just need to tell them and stop thinking negatively xx

@Sunflower2019 Oh WOW!! 😍 your bump!!! So cute!! ❤️ I get what you mean now lol. I mean if they see you before your OH tells them I hate to say they may figure it out for themselves! 😬😂

Never wanted a BFP so badly now 😂😂 I've got serious FOMO!! ❤️ hopefully this month will be my month too! 🤞🏻

@Sunflower2019 your bump is so cute!!! x How far along are you now? x Looking very nice x can see a little proud smile on your face x
@Quiffy I ordered some FRER, it will arrive today. I have saved my FMU, but might just do a 4 hour hold before testing, between my FMU and when they arrive will probably be around 8 hours, so if something is brewing there it will have extra 8 hours to show x I know I'm probably wishful thinking though :(
One of the apps I'm using (yes I do use more than 1) is telling me that my O day was the 20th of Jan. I do not log anything other than periods on it, to see what it predicts without additional info. This would make me 10DPO today and not 11. Ovia on the other hand is telling me my AF is due today, the rest is showing tomorrow x

Sorry ovia says tomorrow and the rest says Saturday ! x
