@daffodil21 I didn't tell him but I came back in the bedroom and he just said 'I know what you've been doing'. Hawkeye... Or ears 😂 he must have heard me get the test out my bedside draw or heard me open the packet in the bathroom 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Bam27 every month 🙈

Had limited MN this weekend, and I come back to a shiny new thread, a static smiley, and @Welliedays good news!

😂 @Welliedays that's so funny! Any updates today?

I've just dusted off my old Fitbit and there is a period tracker in it (not sure if you have to have a Fitbit to use the app or not) but unlike apps like Flo, it lets you log a positive OPK in it, so if you're app predictions are out it will move predicted AF day

Nothing major, I felt really sick/heartburny last night, had another weird dream last night and my nipples... They're looking pretty odd at the moment 😂

Had my first baby dream last night (I went for a scan) although most of the dream was me stressing at who I should tell first and how could I be so far along without knowing.

No more cheese for dinner!

@daffodil21 I've just looked on my flo app and there's a space for logging positive opks on there too, I don't know if it moves your fate, but thought I'd mention it ☺️

@tofu35 I was in a really grumpy mood last Saturday because I'd dreamt I had a BFP... I must only have have ovulated so it wasn't like I could even test 😂

@Welliedays oh really? I never knew that 🙈 I'm not doing OPKs ever again though unless I need to know timings for a blood test etc.

Only 1DPO and have already thought 'ooh maybe!' at a couple of non-twinges. Will I ever learn?!

Ahh no @daffodil21, if its any consolation now I have my positive I'm over analysing the fact I don't think I have any symptoms at the moment.. In my head I'm telling myself it was a false positive or its already turned into a chemical (but I'm sure that would lead to bleeding like now, rather than when AF is due?! 🤷🏼‍♀️)... But if I was looking for symptoms I'd pro ably say I had some. Literally can't win 😂

Around 1dpo here too and going to try really really hard not to think about anything these next two weeks! How’s everyone doing?

@cew19 I hope you see your BFP at the end! I got a BFP yesterday, AF is due on Thursday and now I'm over analysing the lack of symptoms 🙈🙈

Ah massive congrats! It’s such a minefield isn’t it! Was speaking to some friends last week and three of them took a while to conceive and now have babies, trying to keep that in mind and relax and think positive thoughts. Easier said than done though! Have booked a consultation with a fertility clinic to see if there’s anything going on.

Hey, hope you don't mind if I join.

Going to be starting TTC journey, pending AF to arrive from not trying on last cycle. Cannot wait!

@CEW19 yay we are TWW buddies!

@Welliedays it's all just a complete worry isn't it!

Welcome @StephiW when is AF due?

Thank you @cew19, how long have you been ttc?

Welcome to the crazy club @stephiw and good luck with your ttc journey... Hopefully it won't be a long one for you!

It really is @daffodil21, such a minefield, full of overanalysing at all stages. I really hope this isn't a sign or being a parent as I think I'll have a breakdown!! Part of me wishes I hadn't tested, I tell myself I won't get too far ahead of myself until after AF due date, but here I am googling maternity clothes and prams and working out when my 12 week scan will be. Please save me from myself!!

Hi guys, so I had a break over the weekend to avoid over thinking and I did a test this afternoon and.... BFP 😱😱😱 I’m actually still in shock!!!
@Welliedays congratulations! I think we’re exactly the same amount of days gone! I’m about 12DPO.

I have my fingers crossed for you other ladies that this is a good month!!!

Ahhh congratulations @dogscanlookup!! I'm currently convincing myself that I've had a false positive or I'll have another chemical... save me from myself!!

I think I'm approx 11dpo but I don't track properly. AF would be due Thursday... Really hoping she stays away!

Oh my gosh @Dogscanlookup !! Congratulations!!!!

@Welliedays keep googling those maternity clothes and enjoy it!!

Thanks guys! I thought I had no symptoms because everything was coinciding with my first week back at work! Extreme tiredness, headaches every morning etc... today strawberries smelt sooo bad and made me feel sick and that’s when I was super suspicious!

@Welliedays aw try not to worry and be positive! Although I know what you mean, it’s very surreal... I don’t think I’ll believe it until I have my first scan!

@Welliedays @Daffodil21. AF is around 4 days late currently, but not a single pregnancy symptom. Plus we weren't trying so... Keep getting twinges like AF is about to start then nothing. So frustrating because all I want to do is start

@Welliedays this is month 8 now, which I know isn't super long but I'm an impatient control freak so hate not knowing what's going on!

@Daffodil21I'm the same with the window shopping. I blame the ads! When is AF due with you? I should be around the 29th.

@Dogscanlookup massive congrats! hopefully this is a lucky month for us all

@Dogscanlookup congratulations, lovely news 💕

@StephiW are your cycles normally regular? Have you taken a test?

@CEW19 ah I don't window shop now. Because of my history I don't think I'll look at things unless I have to - that's kind of why I'm encouraging others to because they should enjoy this time. It should be very exciting! I also don't gets ads because my DH changed my settings as I was fed up of seeing them. That reminds me - I was supposed to ask him how he did it and report back to this thread! Must do that later! AF due 31st but I've been getting spotting from 9dpo for the last couple of months so I expect this one will be the same. Are you planning on testing early or waiting if AF is late?

@Daffodil21 I'm usually regular. It's just the last couple of months have been off... I took one yesterday BFN though...

@Daffodil21 I'll try and wait until I'm late. DH gets excited and wants to test early though so every month it's a battle between the two of us lol. With the ads: go to settings & privacy > settings > scroll down to ad preferences > hide ad topics

I find I still get some ads that slip through the net, but hopefully above will help
