Thanks everyone can't quite believe it, we are going to book a private scan at 8 weeks, see what they say not tell anyone or get too excited before then!

@bwfcchick88 I rarely have sugar! Just never craved it.... crisps on the other hand!!! Have you tried sweeteners. I have that in coffee, and I drink Coke Zero, not Diet Coke, cos that tastes like crack

OMG @AnxiousAnnie86 !!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰 i am absolutely over the moon for you!!! Bet you feel in complete shock!!! It's been a long time coming hun! How did your OH react & how did you tell him? This is thread number 3 so third time lucky thread!! Hope there's more BFP's to come on here 🤞🏻
I'm doing ok, thrown myself back into exercise & not dwelling on the whole TTC. Got peak on CB digital on Saturday morning but only DTD Friday night. I got EWCM on Friday, but I've got a funny feeling ive not actually ovulated. What is it they call it? Begins with A. When you don't actually ovulate. Anvoluntary cycle🙈 or something. My RHR just isn't matching up. I'm actually not really arsed for the first time ever, feel like I'm over it & what will be will be x

@Chlo2701 thank you! It's my birthday on Sunday! What an amazing gift I'm just praying it stays! I'm deffo having some cramping! My husband cried I have seen him cry twice in the 18 years I've known him, during his wedding speech and tonight. He didn't even cry during MC.... maybe he's thinking what have I done!?! A puppy and a baby 😂

We know our bodies by now don't we, my Ava told me I'd ovulated this month and I just knew I hadn't, then I got a peak at day 31!! Maybe you will just ovulate a bit later? Can you keep testing? Or just maybe do it every few days till period comes? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 awww that's so sweet about your OH. What an amazing birthday present for you! Just the best! Don't worry about the cramping hun, I was convinced I was coming on when I got my BFP the other month, the cramps were just like AF.
No I'm not going to bother to test, just wait for AF. I honestly can't be bothered, my heart & heads just not in it after the loss in September. I'm just going to put it out my mind, relax & start again next year. I'm lucky enough to have 2 kids already, I've just had this overwhelming urge these last 2years to have just one more!🙈 it's mine & OH's birthdays at the end of January, I'll be 36 & he'll be 46, so maybe I might get a BFP then too😉😘xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 congratulations I’m so happy for you!
I miscarried with my first and it ruined my next pregnancy tbh because I was so worried all the time. She was fine tho and came out happy and healthy I just regretted the fact that I hadn’t been more relaxed about it all. I know it’s easier said than done but try and relax and enjoy what you have to come.
Did you have any symptoms other than the cramping? I’m still not having a single symptom and I’m 11dpo now. I don’t know whether to take that as a good sign or not especially as every month upto now every twinge or pain I’ve been adamant I was pregnant. How far away from AF are you? Xx

@TTCagainHOPEFUL I know I'm going to really try and come what may....

No symptoms at all really! My boobs have been so so painful, but they always are in tww! I've felt a tiny bit queasy last day but only a little bit.

The first thing that made me think possibly something could of been happening was my opks have been positive for two days!

I'm 14dpo and due on today xx

@Blossom428 we did it the first day of positive ovulation but Dh didn't mission complete, then we did it on the day of ovulation, so it must of been then.... but thays the only times we did it around that point! I'm sticking around toFollow you girls! I can't wait to see who's next... I have upped my vit D as I said on earlier message, I think maybe that has helped? X

That's weird! Maybe try another one a bit later and see how it is? Might just be variation in the dye?

I was super thirsty yesterday afternoon and maybe with less hold it was more concentrated... my opks are always stronger with shorter holds x

Maybe that is it, lovely. Best try not to fret and wait as long as you can to test again 🤗

Blossom428 · 27/10/2020 09:39

Yeah I wouldn't test any more @AnxiousAnnie86 ... You could take another digital next week to see if it's gone up further, but examining lines won't be any good for you.

You need to try to de stress and relax now. Look after and be good to yourself. 😊 after all it's your birthday week!! (Who doesn't love to drag a birthday out all week ahha)

@MamaMoonbeam hahaha not for long! What I mean is previously we've literally done it like five days in a row over fertile window! But this month he said maybe we are doing it too much. And saved it up for all the days and then did it on day of static! Well day after static so OV day 😂

Hahah!! @AnxiousAnnie86 @MamaMoonbeam

Yeah I got 5 flashing days last time. So it's probs going to land over the weekend. OH is very much a morning dtd'er. Which is hard as he always gets up and goes to work really early before I'm up. So I'm going to have to try somethings for the evenings I think. Or just say I'm having a very long lay in after 😂

@Blossom428 I once had 18 flashing 😂😂

How are you feeling @AnxiousAnnie86 ?
Will you be calling the GP?

Do you take the higher dose vit D right through the cycle?
