@Boo2020 have you taken a pregnancy test recently? I had a peak OPK that lasted a few days and it was because I was actually pregnant.

Boo2020 · 07/05/2020 13:41

@fredthespider I took one 2 days ago and it was negative, i will do one again later!! Did you have any other symptoms? X

Fredthespider · 07/05/2020 13:50

@Boo2020 I was exhausted! Other than that no other symptoms. I'd had a 9 day bleed/spotting that I'd put down as a period that must have been implantation bleeding. Only thought something was off when I started the OPKs again and they were peak straight away and again a few days later.

Boo2020 · 07/05/2020 14:51

Its come back negative! I'm only 5 DPO, I will test again maybe in 4 -5 days if I keep getting peaks x

LV1987 · 07/05/2020 20:51

Sore side boobs, all the creamy CM, lots of spots, crampy tummy and bum, emotional (cried because we gave money to charity, cried because OH offered me a beer after a hard day). I've decided that I am definitely preggerz, or AF is definitely coming... Bloody hormones!! Why do the two have to be so similar, it's such a head f**k 😑

LV1987 · 08/05/2020 12:36

How is everyone today? We're sat in our front garden waiting for a social distancing street party to start 🍸

Danni2019 · 08/05/2020 16:42

@LV1987 street party sounds well fun hope your having a great time and has took your mind off things for a while.

Not up to much today giving my little boy a mummy day and played lots with him as I feel while working from home I've not had as much time with him lately. His Daddy has just stolen him from me though to play.

Trying to stay optimistic about this cycle even though it is only 4DPO. I have already had a slightly different symptom than usual. Maybe TMI but usually have really thick discharge after ovulation and this time it has stayed really thin I'm probably reading way too much into that but I take anything as different after trying for so long!

Danni2019 · 08/05/2020 18:46

I have my frer ordered already. It's going to be a long week until I can use it 🙈

@Danni2019 it was lovely - had a few gins over the fence with our nice neighbours, managed to stop thinking about things for a few hours! I've also got 2 FRERs hiding in my bedside cabinet... I've nearly caved so many times! I think I'm about 7DPO but as I'm not sure, it would literally be like pissing on a fiver 😂 going to try and hold off until Tuesday x

Ange211 · 09/05/2020 10:35

👋 hellloooo hope you don't mind me popping to say hi! I've meant to look in sooner but house move, lambing, covid 19 sending my work life manic etc .....you know how it is!
Glad to see another name of the bfp list @Katie1109!!! Huge congratulations 🎉
I'm still not tracking, not really bothered either way but dh is now keen for #3 whereas before it was him that wasn't bothered either way 🙈
Hope everyone is keeping safe xxxx

Ange211 · 09/05/2020 10:39

@Fredthespider thought I'd tagged you too oops - congratulations 🎉

Mumofboys17 · 09/05/2020 12:31

@Ange211 hello! 👋🏻 nice to see you pop back in again! Welcome back 🤗 xx

@LV1987 how are you feeling? It was tomorrow you're hoping to test isn't it? X

@Danni2019 haha I feel you!! I have no FRER's in the house now. Don't intend on ordering one until 7dpo at very least this time, and not with next day delivery!! 😂 x

Hi @Mumofboys17 😘 I'm still feeling a bit muddled tbh! I was planning on testing tomorrow, but now my app says in not due on until the 14th, and I've no clue why it has changed it's mind 😂 I think I'd still be in the window for using an FRER tomorrow, but as I don't feel at all pregnant or even periody, I'm not sure if I want to waste another fiver 🤷‍♀️ not sure when to do it now!

Danni2019 · 09/05/2020 17:47

Feeling some cramps today which usually I don't get this early but probably are just weird cramps don't want to read to much into things as I'm sure you don't actually feel implantation cramps but you never know x

Danni2019 · 09/05/2020 22:15

Ladies Sorry on here way too much this cycle but I need you to bring me back down. Getting way too excited this cycle just had some pink discharge when I wiped tonight maybe it is implantation for me. More likely my period is coming like crazy early or just my body and mind playing tricks on me! Do you think I'm right to be a little excited? X

bumphope2020 · 10/05/2020 09:32

@Danni2019 if nothing has changed overnight I think it's justified to get a little excited, especially if this hasn't happened before.

Mumofboys17 · 10/05/2020 09:41

@Danni2019 Morning lovely, how are the symptoms this morning? If there's no fresh red blood and it's not getting heavier/has disappeared then I'm very hopeful for you!! 🤞🏻❤️

Mumofboys17 · 10/05/2020 09:46

@LV1987 so.... it's Sundaaayyy... 😬🙃😂
I know what you mean about pissing away another fiver 😂😂 bless you. If you do decide to test, I've got everything crossed for you xx

Danni2019 · 10/05/2020 10:01

@Mumofboys17 and @bumphope2020 thanks for replies no symptoms this morning really. I usually get pink cm just before my period a few days before but never had any this early. I'm remaining optimistic and will be testing on Wednesday as I think I'll either be 10 or 11 DPO then so hopefully if this was implantation then would hopefully see a line in 3 days time.

@lv1987 remaining hopeful for you too if there is no af shown up today. It's so hard to resist the urge not to test your doing well! X

Sally160586 · 10/05/2020 10:34

Hi everyone. I'm not sure this is the right thread but I've just joined mums net as I'm driving myself nuts searching the internet for answers ha. There is no definitive answer to my questions, but just a bit of guidance to stop myself from filling my head with such nonsense.

I'm am proud to say I'm currently 13+5 days pregnant. I already have a daughter who is 16 months. I am going to have my hands full!
My burning question is when I conceived. My husband quite clearly wants a boy this time. I'm not bothered, but obviously would like a boy as its such a blessing to have one of each, but a healthy baby is my goal.
So once my periods got back to normal when I stopped breastfeeding at 4 months, I'd have alternate months, one 32 days, one 28, one 31, one 27, they were very consistently non consistent! I tracked my ovulation the month I got pregnant. My lh surge was on day 17, I was on the alternate month where I wwe 31 or 32 days.
Right getting to the point. I'm trying to work out which night when we dtd we conceived. I was told by a friend to have sex as close to ovulation as possible. My husband went away for a stag do for four nights on Saturday ( day 14 of my cycle) and we had a cheeky bonk the night before (day 13) and he forgot to pull out. I tested urine everyday from day 11 and I had no positive lh surge test until day 17, he got back they day and we dtd on day 17 and day 18. I've read that when you get a positive lh surge you ovulate about 36 hours after and the egg stays there for another 24 hours. So I think I ovulated day 18 or 19. I'm worried that we dtd too early on the 13th and ive ruined chances of having a boy. I'm driving myself nuts. Can anyone help me work out when we conceived? Sorry for my long message xx

Mumofboys17 · 10/05/2020 10:43

@Sally160586 Hi, congrats on your pregnancy.
Sorry but I'm no good with dates etc so don't have any advice myself, you might be better off posting this on the pregnancy topic as majority of us on this particular thread are actually struggling to conceive at the moment x

OP posts:
Danni2019 · 10/05/2020 10:54

@Sally160586 Just read your post and I have to ask how does the day you conceive influence whether you will have a boy or a girl? But congrats and yes wrong thread to be posting x

Sally160586 · 10/05/2020 11:02

@Danni2019 and @Mumofboys17 thanks for your replies. I've posted in a pregnancy group too. I'm sorry if I have offended anybody. I didn't think the time of conception affected girl or boy either its absolutely nonsense to me but just something a friend said to me that's stuck in my head. I really wish all you girls the best Smile. I had a miscarriage before having my daughter and struggled to conceive after. Have a lovely day xx

LV1987 · 10/05/2020 11:21

@Danni2019 that sounds like good news to me!!! When is AF due for you again?

@Mumofboys17 I have held off testing today! I've got a really horrible day at work tomorrow, so I didn't want to be dealing with either the excitement or the disappointment... So I'm going to wait until Tuesday at least. No AF here still! Got sore nips and my boobs feel like big old watermelon pendulums 😂 also still have loads of creamy CM (a bit like moisturiser - have those of you that have been pregnant before had this?! I'm normally dry as a bone in the lead up to AF), and feel a bit like I've done a Joe Wicks Core Workout 🤷‍♀️ my dreams have been off the scale weird, they are normally weird anyway, but even for me these are a bit odd 😅 I'm hoping these are all indicators of something for me🤞
