I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

Thank you!! I don't quite believe it yet
I need it to get darker. Just done this one now! Do you think it looks about right for 11DPO? I've literally had stomach cramps and nausea since 3DPO. So strange as I had absolutely zero symptoms with my daughter. Nothing! Didn't have this game of POAS either as I just missed a period 🙄

That's so cute the way you told your OH @littlebee1990 💕

@foodie2020 that sounds so positive!! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Sorry to hear that @emma256 July will hopefully be your month 💕

Fingers crossed for some BFP's soon!! 🤞🏻💕🤞🏻💕🤞🏻

@Spinksy9 definitely see something there!! Fingers crossed it gets darker for you xxx

RoEP2018 · 26/06/2020 19:57

@Kalecat I had nothing on a FRER yesterday morning 10 DPO but did in the evening and this morning! 🤞🏻 for you xxx

mrswilso · 26/06/2020 20:23

Fingers crossed for you @spinksy9 🤞🏻✨
Congratulations! @roep2018 🥳💕
I just caved and POAS and got a BFN ☹️ but I'm still 3 days from AF so not ruling myself out just yet 😉

Wyewaving · 26/06/2020 20:47

Big congratulations to you @Littlebee1990! The way you told your partner is super cute 🥰

I have problems . I have just ordered 4 more frer early response tests so I can test again. I don't know why I do this . I do so well until the last few days 😂😂. Also is there a difference from peeing in a cup to poas ? Is one more effect than the other ?

Kalecat · 26/06/2020 21:47

I'm not sure if there's a different between POAS with direct stream or in a cup, but I do prefer cup because I can ensure I've covered the whole thing 😂

1992EM · 26/06/2020 22:03

@Kalecat thank you , yeah I am the same. Might try poas to see 😂.

Smushty14 · 26/06/2020 22:57

@1992EM I'm a cup kinda girl too 🤣 I even set a timer on my phone to make sure it's been in for long enough/not too long!

Nottherealslimshady · 26/06/2020 22:59

Quick question for those that used the CB ovulation tests with the smiley faces. When you get your flashing face do you start testing more than once a day? I start testing on Tuesday and dont want to miss it

Smushty14 · 26/06/2020 23:00

Does anyone track there resting heart rate using an Apple Watch? I've noticed mine has increased by 9bpm over the last week - but then again I am definitely symptom spotting 🤣

1992EM · 26/06/2020 23:01

@Smushty14 How long do you leave it in the cup ? Thats a good idea to time it . X

Fran2020 · 26/06/2020 23:45

@1992EM Thanks but pretty sure AF is now here as it's been getting heavier throughout the afternoon/evening. 😔 I'll know for sure in the morning. If I'm right with AF starting today, that's my shortest ever cycle I think at 25 days. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I always pee in a cup too as just find it easier haha then I can dip with ease haha!

@Smushty14 yeah I've been looking at my RHR on my garmin. There's a whole thread on here about tracking it a Fitbit which is interesting. Increasing RHR is a good thing! How many DPO are you?

dogmam · 26/06/2020 23:49

@roep2018 not sure how a 11dpo line should look but.. that line is there clear as day!! Maybe test again Sunday? (I'm 99% sure you'll test again tomorrow) haha! Keep us updated!

@smushty14 I have a garmin so not sure about apple watch for rhr, guess the all do the same though. There's a thread all about, but its pretty long so I haven't read it all but would be interested to know what it all means (something else to check on the daily!!)

kate123cl · 27/06/2020 00:17

@Nottherealslimshady Hey! I waited with about 3 days with flashing smileys and then when my CM increased and my cheap OPKs were getting a lot darker I tested in the afternoon too. I didn't want to waste money as they're just so bloody expensive lol!x

Spinksy9 · 27/06/2020 05:10

I couldnt wait any longer and took a FRER.....do you see it???

Littlebee1990 · 27/06/2020 05:12

@spinksy Yup that’s a BFP! Welcome to the early morning early pregnancy insomnia club! That’s exactly what mine looked like the day before my digital. Congratulations! ❤️ Xxx

Egg2020 · 27/06/2020 06:45

So this happened this morning 😀

24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)
RoEP2018 · 27/06/2020 06:50

@spinksy9 yes!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How many DPO?

@Egg2020 omg, that's the strongest line around here!! 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Massive congratulations you are deffo pregnant!

RoEP2018 · 27/06/2020 06:55

@1992EM using a cup allows you to dip 2 different pregnancy tests at the same time 🤣🤣🤣

@dogmam you know me so well, yet we've never met 🤣
I think I'm pregnant. I'm just not allowing to confirm it with myself because it's still so faint and my period isn't due for another 3 or 4 days. This mornings...

@Egg20 and @Spinksy9 Massive congratulations to you both. They are both very positive.

@Fran2020 I am sorry to hear that , I am glad to hear that everything was ok with your tests though . Hopefully July is your month .

I resisted the urge to test and going to do my best to wait until at least Monday . If I'm not pregnant at least I can hope for another few days and if I am then it's closer to AF so hopefully would be stronger. Also my oh is working early shift next week so will be easier to test. I loved the way @littlebee1990 surprised her oh and would like to do something special too when the time comes. I can't bring myself to buy something though until I know it's positive.😂🙈.

1992EM · 27/06/2020 07:03

@RoEP2018 That is very true. There is definitely a line on both of those congratulations 💕.

Fran2020 · 27/06/2020 08:01

Yep AF is definitely here! Not my lucky 12th cycle. But definitely had such strong symptoms I reckon something was going on but perhaps implantation failed or something. 😔

Congratulations on the BFPs today 🎉

I'm not sure what to do... what what you all do here...

When I was a child and teenager I had the MMR vaccine several time. However my recent blood tests show I have no immunity to rubella. The doctor has booked me to have another MMR on Tuesday to try to get me immunity before conceding.
However, as I have not got immunity already after many MMR vaccines, it's possible that I still won't get immunity this time. Also they are only doing one dose when normally you would have two doses.
I think if I have the vaccine, it means we have to stop TTC for a month.
What would you do?

Thank you 😊

Fran2020 · 27/06/2020 08:07

Rubella is pretty rare but getting it when pregnant is not good.
