Update on me - there is no update 😂 CD20, not even a sniff of a positive OPK and no temp rise. Will have bloods done in the next couple of days. Gynae appt on 16th Sept is the plan xx

@Lollol86 woo! Yay, glad you got the digi out too, told you it would come up 🥳🥳 so happy for you xx

@MichT4 haha yeah, sorry.. 😩 I got ahead of myself xx

@VP91x I always find the digi gives me more hope like I trust them best. So I have 1 FRER and 1 digi left going to do them next week after af is due then I won't test again xx

@Lollol86 yay thanks for sharing the. Eautiful pics! Genuinely happy for you!!! Here’s to an amazing healthy 9monthsnfor you xxx

Yesssss @Lollol86 look at that lot! Time to allow yourself to be a bit excited now? Congratulations lovely!

And yeah I'd have loved it to be BFP too, but it's fine either way really. I would have had to be incredibly lucky to fall first cycle. I do find it strange with my armpits though 😂 especially now I've watched the video @Rb486 sent. Seems odd it's happened those 3 times. Oh well!

Thanks @Firevie. I'll test in a couple of days if AF doesn't show, just means day 1 of holiday will be tricky when the prosecco comes out! I don't mind being on the September bus with you ladies, just aware due date is approaching fast and I really thought I'd be well pregnant by then!

@VP91x here's my pointless test picture. I definitely have line eyes!

xx

@Firevie thank you 😊 xx

@MichT4 it certainly feels real, I'm excited but trying to not be too much as it's still so early. I think I won't really start to relax until after 12 weeks.
Definitely test in a few days of at hasn't shown, it's really strange about your armpits. How are you feeling? Xx

@MichT4 love your positive attitude! I’m still bumming a little and need to snap out of it so messages like yours are helpful. At least DH is at the airport as I’m typing this so he will be with me in 3hours!
If you don’t mind me asking when would it have been your due date? I also hope I will be very pregnant by the time my original due date of 11 Jan comes around. So next cycle it is! Xxx

@Lollol86 Huge congrats!! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy 🥳❤

@MichT4 Do I seem a faint second line on that???🤞

@Lollol86 I'm fine. Obviously disappointed but I wasn't really expecting it, I was more hopeful I'd get a nice surprise. Those few strange things made me think it could be, but I dunno, just not like me to be quite so fortunate 😂😂.
I think at this point it just confirmed what I thought and we continue on! I'll take my tests away with me and also tampons 😂, see which is required.
Totally understand not relaxing fully until 12 weeks but try and allow yourself to be excited about it too. You're pregnant!! Such lovely words xx

Ooh @Lollol86 look at that lovely progression! Congratulations again! I was also hoping too, but as @Firevie says as long as I get AF reasonably soon then I'll be happy to know I'm getting back on track.

@MichT4 Boo! Hiss! BFN! I agree, getting pregnant first cycle would have been great but we've still got plenty of time. I think you're right to test again in a few days. I'm going to keep going TTC until November and then give myself a bit of a break, because in the unlikely event I get a BFP beyond then the timing would be a bit awkward career-wise. Knowing me that's exactly when I'll get pregnant!

Good luck @HE88 !

A question for you TTC pros! 2 weeks ago, I had a darker-than-control-line OPK, and then a gradual BBT rise (from around 36.2 to 36.8 or so). How certain can I be that I ovulated?

@Rebecca1992 😂😂 don't! Because I keep thinking I do, then I don't, then I do. I think I need to just wait a couple of days and try again.

@Firevie my first due date was around 10th November. I never got far enough to have it confirmed. The second would have been a March baby but I didn't even look too much into it because of the anxiety and early spotting. It's the first one I'd liked to have been pregnant by, but even if it happens now I'll be in the anxious stage. But I have to let go of that because it'll happen when it happens.

How lovely knowing DH is so close! He'll make you feel better for sure.

Just remember, we can only be positive. It will happen for us, and I'm starting to believe more and more through this that the more positive and hopeful we are, the easier the journey. Even through the TWW, I try and have some hope, otherwise I think the time would drag even more. I don't remember the actual saying but there's something about thinking and believing things and it will happen.

The way I've said it there is definitely not the official saying 😂 xx

@Lollol86 Ahhhhhhhh amazing!!! Congratulations girl. I love this, I knew we would be getting some good news today in here. Please could you remind us all again of your TTC journey please lovely? These give everyone hope & optimism and it’s so so nice to hear people’s happy little journeys.

@MichT4 how many DPO are you? When is AF due? The early tests are not 100% accurate so I am sure you are still in the game girl. Look at LOLs test - showing that just 1 day earlier it was BFN. It happened to us when I tested 2 days earlier it was BFN, and then VOILLA my BFP 2 days after. This is the pros/cons of early tests;they keep us guessing & play with your mind for that little bit longer if not BFP. You are still very likely to be pg if you haven’t had AF. Keep that faith HIGH AF 💫

@scrambledeggy of course you'll get pregnant then because that's how life is 😂😂

Do you have a chart of your temps? I'd say it sounds like you did ovulate, you can have a slow rise bbt. But difficult to say without all the data 🤓 xx

@HappyVibes absolutely right, I'm not letting anything take all my hope away just yet. Some of it may have dwindled down the loo with my FMU but until AF comes I'll continue to be confused. I'm 12-14dpo today, I had a couple of ovulation possibilities detected. So I would have thought it would show by now but I think I've learnt the bodies do strange things.
We will see, but I will keep the faith, whether it be for this cycle of next.
Thank you lovely 🥰

How are you getting on? xx

@HappyVibes AF due tomorrow or Saturday

@MichT4 lovely positive message! Thank you! I am a strong believer in the law of attraction - what you think you create and attract! I’m usually always on that path but when life throws you a curve ball I have to get myself on the same wave length again! Just been on my run! I feel strong and positive. Trust our healthy babies are on their way in their own time! Still do let us know once you’ve tested in a day or so! Who knows.... xxx

@Firevie laws of attraction!! 😂 that's the one!!

What's the temp like there? You are very good to go out running every day xx

@MichT4 amazing outlook - I feel ya! It’s hard to think like that sometimes but as long as we are conscious of our thoughts and self aware then we can shift the thoughts and work on them.

Absolutely - the law of attraction! The thoughts you put out, are what is reflected back to you in real life. Keep imagining that moment of the BFP testing, the vision and the feelings! Then I keep imagining the moment & the feelings of the 12 week scan seeing a healthy heartbeat (maybe of twins hehehe). Anyway I will stop as I could preach about this stuff all day & we aren’t here for that haha.

Love your outlook though I truly do! It’s inspirational 💓

I’m all good just being lazy at the moment - need to get up & do my FMU for my CBD OPK. Waiting for any smiley any day now. Feel blessed that they’ve not come early tbf with the weather - feel grateful that my body’s waiting till it’s a lil cooler haha.

Xxx

I blame @VP91x entirely for this, but I did an OPK 😂😂
My body is on one hell of a rollercoaster 😂

@HappyVibes please DO keep preaching. Your positivity and mindset is wonderful, I love it!

Yes, thank goodness it's cooler (slightly!). Massive respect to those who had their FW in this heat! xx

Oops, sorry @MichT4, here's my chart, still not 100% familiar with TTC conventions.

This one's from Femometer, all the days with the data absent are from when I was still clinging onto hope I was pregnant 🤦 As you can see my temperature dipped again today, hopefully that does mean AF is coming!

@scrambledeggy oh yes I would say you definitely ovulated. Sometimes a couple of days after you get a dip - surge in estrogen I believe. I think that looks like a nice stable chart too! Something I can only dream of 😂 along with the achy boobs xx

@MichT4 I'm just in tesco so skimming through messages. What did the OPK say? Xx

@VP91x I attached a pic for your perusal later, but the second line came up before the control line and is now darker 🧐 xx

@VP91x I believe they say it can surge before AF, so maybe she is going to show up any day now xx
