[candycrush2298]

Continuation from thread AF due 20/06

@TTC123firsttime I would follow your opks and say your 6dpo today. I would give it a day or two to test.

@snapple21 yay thank you for the answer thats informative its so sad about miscarriages and I understand the 8 week now. Thanks for explaining.
Really hoping the sore boobs means something for you xx.

@Boc86 whahaha thats funny so like the rest of us then lol!! Hope you can at least wait until 8dpo whahaha.

@Kaybobx no I don't feel anything. Very light back ache left side. But no cramps. No sore boobs. Just like nothing hahaha. Its weird. I honestly felt like she was going to show yesterday because of the pains on Sunday like I was absolutely convinced. It was full AF cramps. I think she is now just giving me a false sense of security 🤣🤣🤣

Back at work today and sat at my desk with constant pain :( not agonising but sore! Woke up with a couple extra big spots too on my chin :(

@snapple21 Thanks, feeling much better now. Thanks for updating us on when the scans are and how they work. Didn't know you were a midwife, you know once we've all conceived we'll be throwing questions your way!

@Kaybobx Do you reckon you'll do a 4D scan again. Was it worth it?

@candycrush2298 ooo look at @TTC123firsttime BBT graph. We need to start charting! I am going to start doing it from CD1 again. Test again tomorrow and keep us posted about how you get on. Fingers crossed!

@TTC123firsttime Sounds promising keep us posted!

@ReginaaPhalange Hope you feel better soon. You're still a week away from AF.

Guys all this testing really makes me want to test. I am 8 DPO. I have all the symptoms of AF arriving next week but still have this desire to feel part of the group and test lol!

Oh and my OPKs are all barely have a second line so it's enough to show there is nothing in my urine that can give even a faint HCG line

@ReginaaPhalange ahhhh hope you feel better soon xx

@Elakiya I know we like seriously need to chart LOL!!! Come on @Kaybobx and @snapple21 let's chart if this month is a bust 😁😁😁🤨 I mean I hope none of us have too but if we do get AF then I think it will be good for us.

You know I will be testing hahaha.

I was reading about positives on OPKs it would need to be a blazing positive on an OPK which would definitely have been a positive first on a pg test. So in your case if you get a positive OPK like strong strong positive then its time to tell the hubster to bring out those pg tests 😂

@candycrush2298 I caved and stole a PG test lol! Negative obviously but I couldn't help myself :(

@candycrush2298 I think my mood is enough to show I am probably not pregnant , super irritable the same way I am when AF is about to arrive.

@Elakiya whahahahaha!!! The willpower is tough I know.

And you never know many people are extremely irritable during pregnancy too. So the similarities are exactly the same as PMS so wouldn't write it off just yet. Look at me I am due AF over the course of this week and I still have hope 🤣🤣🤣

@candycrush2298 I am not allowed to do another pregnancy test until cycle day 35 at least which will be at 23rd July

@Elakiya that sounds really far away. But in reality its actually not that far.

I just want that progression line like from the first real line to the darker than control line you know to make sure everything is healthy and going as it should.

Omg you guys I just watched a YouTube video about a couple that had a miscarriage obviously heartbreaking and I got all emotional. But the thing I found interesting was her husband wanted to be a part of every test she took. And he got mad when she tested without him. Like he wanted to be a part of the whole thing.

Whats everyone's thoughts on it?

Mine is she clearly isn't a serial tester 🤣

@candycrush2298 ok I'll temp haha. What have i got to do and buy? Do you literally just test it every morning? How do you know what its supposed to be? Haha sorry!

@Elakiya hmmm I'm not sure. The 4D scan is great to see a face and know they are ok but they look different when they come out 😂

I admire your willpower. I tested this morning and already want to do another lol.

@candycrush2298 if my husband knew how much i test he'd probably leave me haha!! To be honest, he never came to any midwife appointments! He's a just leave me to it and keep him posted kinda guy but i like that.

@Kaybobx lol there is no specific temp but like 36. Something it will vary that is why if you temp from CD1 you will see the norm and look out for a drop in temp the day after you get a positive OPK to confirm ovulation 100% occurred. Then if you get a drop in temp between 6-12dpo thats implantation. It won't dip if you not pg.
And I got a Femometer but you can buy any digital thermometer that has two decimal spaces Like 36.53° vs 36.5° because the variances are little.
It must be done as soon as you wake up at the same time everyday.
Thats all I know about temping could ve way more too it but thats all I know then you just add your temp into your app and then look at your chart lol.

I definitely want the 4D scan I have always thought its worth it.

Lol my husband was like that for our wedding like I would show him ideas he would say yeah thats nice or no thats ugly but there was no Pinterest boards on his wall or 600 screenshots on his phone of decorations 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just showed him a bunch of things and the ones we both agreed on we found companies to do it for us and that was it. But I did all the planning 🤣
I am sure he will be present for the scans and mayyyyyybe the midwife appointments but I am not convinced. He is definitely like yours show up to the party kinda guy😂

@candycrush2298 oh my god!! Why haven't we done this before that sound great. So you haven't dipped you dont need to keep wasting money on PG tests!! Im defo doing it going to have a look online now.

I'll attach a pic of our 4D scans, one is 30 wks and the other 16wks at the gender reveal. They are just weird 😂 We even have it on dvd, don't know why haha!!

Yup my husband was the same with the wedding. I chose absolutely everything, he just turned up haha!! He did come to all my baby scans, just not the midwife appointments. She only measures you, listens to the heartbeat and your in and out in 15 mins so he wasnt missing anything.

@Kaybobx because its to wake up everyday at the same day and stick the dam thing in your mouth hahahaha!!

Omg your scans are adorable thats exactly what I am after its too freaken cute!!!

@candycrush2298 I'm up at 7.30am everyday so that part is fine, remembering to actually do it though is another thing!

Haha thanks, i just find them so odd 🙈

@Kaybobx mine is the weekends I never wake up early on a weekend whahaha. And yes remembering to stick it in.

@candycrush2298 I'm the same, actually now due to lockdown can't even wake up at the same time during the weekdays!

@kaybobx is it really bad that in the picture of the 16 week scan I can't make out if the baby is a boy or a girl!

Feeling a lot better now. Mainly because I have ate like a pig to cheer myself up. Discovered a new ice cream too, because Magnum was so overpriced we bought one called Nui, it's salted caramel and almonds and it was really really nice.

@Elakiya lol I am still working from home so waking up for work during the week but weekends not so much....

And i am very glad to hear you are feeling better thats absolutely great. Ice cream is always a great pick me up. I looove Hagen Daaz but its also very pricey so only buy it when its on sale lol.

@candycrush2298 I'm working from home to, but I roll out of bed at 8.30 lol! and start work at 9! I'm useless!

This is going to make me sound like I live under a rock, but I've never ever tried Hagen Daaz

@Elakiya whahahahah!! I start work at 8 and wake up at 7 just because I need a cup of tea as soon as I open my eyes otherwise I cant adult for the day. (I have switched to redbush tea since I am ttc)

Lol no there's loads I haven't tried so no youre not living under a rock but I do highly recommend it if you ever see it on special you should give it a try. I love it. Halo Top is also fab.

Right ovary still throbbing away. Been to loo, wiped and had loadssssss of EWCM!!!! CB still flashing face though. That was my last one too..!!

@ReginaaPhalange hmmm does sound like ovulation is still impending. Sounds like you haven't ovulated yet and your body is still preparing too.

@ReginaaPhalange does sound like you are about to ovulate. How strange it’s so late in your cycle. Did you BD?

@candycrush2298 Did you test this morning?

I did an OPK, it very low 😂. Also the hubby went “why do you think you’re going to ovulate when you’re less than a week away from your period?” I’ve taught this guy way too much about the female body! 😂😂😂😂😅

@Elakiya yeah I think I see something but I cant pick it up on camera so probably just imagining it. I am 15dpo so think I'm pretty much being ridiculous now 🤣🤣🤣

Lol!!! You just tell him you are trying to confirm that you definitely did ovulate when you thought you did and you just trying to see the fluctuations through out the month whahahaha!!!
