TTC - Thread 2- a lucky one!

[Blossom428]

Hi guys....
Thought I'd set up this new thread for us.
Tag anyone else from the group I've not got.

@AnxiousAnnie86
@Spinksy9 (thought I'd tag for you to check in with us after your BFP 😆)
@Chlo2701

@AnxiousAnnie86 so it's gone from blank circle yesterday- I didn't test in the evening because it didn't think it would be any different, to now static circle this morning... so annoying as I've not DTD since Monday as I was giving OH a little break untill flashing.... going to have to jump on it today and tomorrow and hope for the best!! I don't know if that's because I stopped the vitamin B yesterday but god knows, that's come on fast and I'm only CD12. So means I'll probably ovulate last today urghhh annoying. Haha. My chances wont be that great this time now with no before DTD!

Have you done another IC? Hopefully it may even just come a little bit early.

@Gemster19 glad you've been busy!! I find it easier when you have things on to keep your mind occupied!!

@Blossom428 that's frustrating!!! But at least you are now in TWW!!! Just DTD as much as you can next couple of days just in case!!! Another blank circle for me today :( which I don't understand as I'm getting ewcm now x

Fingers crossed you still had a good 24hrs after the static @Blossom428 🤞🏼.

How many days do you usually get ewcm for @AnxiousAnnie86 ? When I was using those OPKs I had the odd month where I went straight from a blank to a static so maybe yours will do that this cycle. Are you off anywhere nice today?

Feeling super positive this 2WW so far, my temp is up at 10DPO levels already this morning (I've no idea if temp rising more quickly is an actual sign, but trying for a very optimistic cycle this month ). Did have a bit of a wobble yesterday though when I went to get my nails done - my nail tech has been talking non-stop about TTC for months and yesterday I noticed she'd put on a quite a bit of weight and I suddenly realised she hadn't said a word about it the whole time I was there so thinking maybe she is and doesn't want to say yet. Feel like the most awful person in the world as all I could think was it's not fair 😩

@Gemster19 I know what you mean I unfortunately do the same when I hear about people's news! I'm so happy for them but then jealousy always gets me!!!

I normally get 5 days of it or so! Hopefully it will start flashing soon and I just won't get as long as I normally on the flashing! I once had a static at 17 and flashing on 15 and 16 so hopefully that'll happen.... we are going to stay in north York's for the night xx

Yeahh im a bit gutted and been a bit slack on bbt so can't quite work out what's going on, has risen today so a feeling that I may have ovulated last night.
On well I will try DTD again today and see what happens.

Are you IC opk still showing a strong line @AnxiousAnnie86 ? You'll get your flashy soon. Have you been DTD anyways to cover basis?
A night away sounds perfect!! Enjoy!!

Fingers crossed @Gemster19 ! Things seem to be heading in the right direction. Have you got any other symptoms? Totally know what you mean about hearing or knowing others are pregnant, I feel every week now someone else is announcing they are. And a part of me is like why can't that be me!

Hopefully you won't have long to wait now @AnxiousAnnie86 - maybe at least this way you can enjoy your break without having the urgency of feeling like you need to DTD. I find myself getting really stressed the day or so before ov just in case he doesn't want to 😂.

You're probably still good for 24hrs after ov @Blossom428! I read on another thread a little while ago that some women only DTD once ov confirmed as there's apparently a theory that it can affect the baby's sex (can't remember which way round it was!).

Well actually now you ask I had some cramping on Friday night, it kept me awake at the time but I didn't really think much of it. Now I've looked back over my charts to investigate this high BBT today and it looks like I had quite a big dip on Friday and then an actual spike today, as opposed to it just gradually getting this high earlier than usual. This is only my 3rd month temping so it could be nothing, but even though my bbt does sometimes vary it definitely hasn't been this pronounced in the last two cycles, so maybe it could be quite an early implantation 🤞🏼. Although I'd have thought if it was my progesterone would need to be high enough for sore boobs etc by now and they haven't arrived yet so I could just be seeing what I want to see 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hmmm very light headed whenever I stand up today too...but I do generally have really low blood pressure so could just be that.

Girls I don't think I've ever convinced myself this early in the 2WW before 🙈😂

@Gemster19 I have everything crossed for you!!! How many dpo are you now?? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 so I had an esrly scan yesterday which I wish i hadn't now!
They think im just under 6 weeks as they could only see a gestation sac and yolk sac. Booked in to go back in 3 weeks! I'm even more worried now than I was! However the sonographer said everything looked good for where I am.
Just hoping that next time we go we see a little baby! She saw the gestation sac and yolk sac straight away on the abdo scan, I emptied my bladder and she did an internal and couldn't find my uterus! Then found the gestation sac but no yolk sac. Changed back to abdo and she could see the yok sac. Just hoping it was the position of my uterus! These next 3 weeks are going to be a killer 😔

Thank you @AnxiousAnnie86 - here's hoping for a lucky cycle 13 🤞🏼. I'm only 6DPO so it would be really early but now I'm temping I've realised my LP is only 12 days so I'm halfway there!

Oh @Spinksy9 I'm sorry the scan wasn't what you'd hoped but I think it's great they could see what they did with the abdo scan based on your dates. You'll get through the next 3 weeks even if you don't feel like it now, and I'm sure everything will be fine.

I saw this yesterday and realised I've been so scared every cycle, hence trying to be so positive this month but I thought it might ring true with us all, whether it's CPs, MCs or just month after month of BFNs 💜

@Spinksy9 I was exactly the same when I was 6 weeks pregnant! Totally normally! That's why they do the reassurance scans at 8 weeks as you can't detect much before then! Xxxx

@AnxiousAnnie86 @Gemster19 thank you!
I'm trying to stay positive. Still got the constant sickness and sore nipples so I guess thats a positive. And my cheapie tests are still okay I think?? I thought once I was pregnant I'd calm down but I'm more on edge ahaa x

@Spinksy9 I think you need to step away from the tests!!!! If there was a concern they would of said :) please relax and be kind to yourself that's the best thing you can possibly do!!!! Just enjoy it! X

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm not going to test anymore and just wait until our scan. Its on our 1 year wedding anniversary (the date they gave us) so hopefully thats a good omen! Think im going to throw the tests away that I've done so far x

Yesss I've read that somewhere also @Gemster19 - soemthing about female sperm swimming slower and boys are quicker- not quite sure how that all works and if it's true or not though haha!
Ahh you are 6dpo- I guess you can start symptom spotting now though, as implantation can happen!!

At least you've had the scan now @Spinksy9 - fingers crossed in 3 weeks time you will be able to see your little baby!! I'm sure everything will be fine. Try keep yourself busy and make plans over the next few weeks to keep your mind occupied. Your lines look very good on your tests!!

Well I've DTD this morning too- so into the 2WW for me.

Yes we need lots of positivity this cycle!! So keep the quotes coming!! We can do this girls 💪🏼

I have my fingers crossed for you all this cycle!!! I be cheering all the way!xx

Definitely a good omen @Spinksy9 ! All of your symptoms and your lines look great - try and stay as positive as you can, I know I'll feel exactly the same when my time comes, but it really is the the best thing you can do for yourself and bubba.

I bloody knew it - nail techs pregnancy announcement this morning, plus one more 😩 but I'm not going to let it get to me as I reckon all of us will be pretty close behind them!

@Gemster19 the announcements are torture, I totally understand and even now get the jealous feeling as I still haven't had that 'confirmation' all is okay!
I'm trying my best to stay calm and take each day as it comes. I'm just so tired and want to sleep all the time!x

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. What stage is everyone on?

@Gemster19 feeling light headed when you stand up was one of the first symptoms I noticed when I got a BFP last month, that and the occasional dizzy spell. Fingers completely crossed for you!!

I'm on cycle day 10, ovulation test picking up a bit today so expecting peak tomorrow or tuesday, was hoping to get as close to day 14 as possible but considering some months I ovulated day 10 I am slightly improving lol. Only DTD once so far will do it each day now until day after ovulation.

How is everyone? This month I’m trying to just go with the flow and not obsess... famous last words

I'm on CD15 and still getting blank circles on clear blue!!! I hate that bloody flashing smiley but will be glad to see it this month! I've normally got flashing by now so not sure what is going on x

Strange @AnxiousAnnie86 - you may get straight static like I did!!

I'm I think 2dpo- but bit a strange cycle this time and haven't tracked very well- so we'll see what happens
@WaitingForEgg haha yes, so easy to say, but so hard to do!! Fingers crossed being more relaxed will help though 😊

Are you getting any sign of coming into FW @Chlo2701? Did you get OPKs for this month?

@Blossom428 I dunno I've never had that before:( think it might be a late one!

How many flashing do you guys normally get for the ones that use opk digital? X

Hey @Blossom428 I'm CD10 here so I'm just doing the boring bit & waiting for FW. Yes I did order the Clearblue OPKS to do this month as wanted to see if I've started ovulating abit earlier than I was (CD16/17). So I'm going to start them on Wednesday when I'm CD12. Ive still got my stick holder thing that I was using the other month, so it'll know my baseline, which is why I'm starting on Weds, so then I'll hopefully only get a day or 2 of flashey smileys hopefully.
Exciting that you're in the TWW now😬
@AnxiousAnnie86 I would normally get about 3 days of the flashey faces but I think that's probably because I leave it as late as I can to start testing because I knew roughly when I'd ovulate. Fingers crossed you'd of ovulated by the end of the week x

Also @AnxiousAnnie86 what's your RHR looking like? This is mine so far
