No probs @DrS44 😀 Honestly all, that book I keep going on about has helped me understand my Cycle so much, - try and buy it. Its so worth it. 50 Things You Need to Know About... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1911641646?ref=ppxpopmobapshare

Aww thanks @DrS44! Really hoping this month is my month, not too hopeful coz I didn't get to DTD as often as I wanted and I'm 5DPO and just don't feel PG at ALL!!!

@PowerOfFlowers Woo very exciting, have my fingers crossed for you!! Keep testing!! I started testing 3 times a day coming up to peak, morning, afternoon and evening! hehe

@PowerOfFlowers Oohh will have a look thank you xxxx

Hi ladies

Sorry I've been MIA! Had a lot going on...

I had some bleeding this week. Not much, definitely more spotting, but my god do you panic! I decided to take more tests and they were sooooo light. When I mixed them with water because of the hook effect (so weird you were just discussing this) they got a bit better but still much lighter. The weird thing is both the test and control lines are lighter. So basically they are no help at all and no idea if I'm still pregnant! EPU have booked me in for a scan Tuesday when I'll be 6+6. So now just praying for no more bleeding and that bean is still there and okay on Tuesday. Keep everything crossed for me please ladies 🤞🤞 thr nausea has kicked in over the last 3 days so taking that as a good sign!!

Right I've tried to catch up but failed miserably and forgotten where everyone is already so can I please have a quick roll call @positivitytree2020 @Dex1521*@CardioQueen @DrS44* @bells20 @PowerOfFlowers @jessi60

@GreenApplesYo tell me some positive pregnancy stories please! Mine sucks big hairy b@lls

You poor thing @AMS19 that sounds so scary! 😢 I’ve no doubt everything is okay for you though, I’ll keep all my fingers and toes crossed! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I have heard that some light bleeding can be normal, but obviously the first reaction is going to be worry! 😔 Great you’ve gotten a scan, at least that should hopefully put your mind at rest!

My update is that I’m 5DPO now, here’s my graph, I know you like a good graph! 😂 nothing to report really, mild cramps here and there, slightly stuffy nose, slight lower back pain! But all symptoms of PMS so who knows! 🤷🏼‍♀️ don’t feel like I’m PG but guess I’ll just wait and see!

@AMS19 oh my goodness how scary! Have absolutely everything crossed for you lovely! I have heard that spotting can be very common in pregnancy so really hoping it's nothing. I'm glad to hear your feeling sick 😂 in the nicest way possible of course, I'm assuming ongoing pregnancy symptoms are a good sign too! Xx

I'm 4dpo, had a tiny bit of spotting earlier but nothing since, got some cramps in my lower back like a stitch on my left side and I feel totally knackered. Definitely too early for any of that to be pregnancy related though so I think I'm just slowly going mad haha

Hi @Ams19 Sounds like you've had a pretty stressful time of it. I bet Tuesday can't come quick enough for you. I remember my friend bleeding during week 5/ 6 too, and everything was fine. They said that some women do. I'll be crossing everything for you and remember we are all here to listen 🤞🏻 Nausea is a good sign. Are you eating?
I'm cd18, tested at 4pm and highest yet. Dtd afterwards and will test again tonight to see which way its going. Eek!! My Premom chart has this huge line going upwards, its good to see 😀
Bbt is all over the place though. But we'll see if that changes over the next few days.
Attached a pic of my chart!

@AMS19 oh hope everything is ok with you and bean! Definitely will keep my fingers crossed for you but the nausea is definitely a good sign.

I’m 7dpo and not really had any symptoms. Since 2dpo I’ve had constantly erect nipples which is so uncommon for me and they were sore to touch but I read that is due to the progesterone surge. Yesterday (6dpo) and today I’ve woke up with a blocked nose and have very mild cramps In the morning so again don’t know if I’m PG or just AF symptoms which is so annoying but my hopes aren’t up as it’s my first ovulation since coming off the pill haven’t had a withdrawal or first period yet. Bought some nosecco tonight in Morrisons for the weekend just Incase 🤣

What dpo did you and @GreenApplesYo test and get your BFP? So tempted to test but still managing to hold off. Might do a FRER on Sunday at 10dpo

@AMS19 Was thinking about you today and was going to pop a message on to check you and @GreenApplesYo were both okay.
I honestly having everything crossed for you. Sending lots of positive vibes your way 🤞🏼🥰❤️ Keep us all updated. And try to relax and not stress.. like that is entirely possible! I’m feeling positive for you 😊😊

Well I had that high opk on CD 14 of 0.73 and then was high readings since. And then I wasn’t well. So kind of ruled myself out as couldn’t continue to dtd. Carried on testing, was still getting daily highs 🧐 and then yesterday I got a peak of 1.06 when I was CD 20 and meant to be 7DPO🤔 sooo now my app has readjusted my fertile window and has me down to ovulate today instead. And only managed to dtd last night and tonight. But I haven’t had any typical ovulation symptoms, well that I’ve noticed. I had a small amount of blood when wiping after the loo two days ago and then a tiny amount again this morning and then nothing for the rest of today. Xx

@Dex1521 Let me know what DPO you plan on doing the FRER 😂 I ovulated CD15 and my last cycle was 26 days, so thinking I might do one 10DPO! Only 5 more days to go....

@positivitytree2020 oh seeing that graph has really cheered me up!! Great chart!! And you DTD at all the right times too. You're in for a great shout. Now keep those temps high and embrace all the symptom spotting. When are you planning to test? Stuffy nose is a great one, I had that!!

@Bells20 don't worry I'm embracing the nausea! The worse the better right now 😂😂 only positive thing this bean is doing! Wow so you are only one day behind @positivitytree2020 proper cycle buddies! So exciting

@powerofflowers yeah im managing Bland food. I was eating so healthy but is has gone out the window now! The more bland the better. The idea of eating makes me want to gag though...
Is the orange line OPKs? Something is going on isn't it!! I've never seen that view before. Definitely keep testing. Are you gonna DTD tonight? Defo should!!

@Dex1521 ooh another blocked nose! These symptoms are great!! Love how close you all are too. These BFPs might be like buses this month then 🤞🤞🤞Nosecco is lovely so great shout! I tested 9DPO and got a BFN, got my BFP on 12DPO 🙂 also had a huge temp dip that day too, thought I was out so must have been an implantation dip

@jessi60 has the sickness stopped? I reckon it pushed back your ovulated and your body kept trying but you were too ill. And now you're better your body has gone for it. Sounds like you've done well on DTD. Can you go again tonight?

All sounds so exciting!

@AMS19 Thank you, thought you'd appreciate the graph! 😂 Yes i'm really hoping the temps stay high! I was thinking of testing either 10 or 11DPO? Not sure if that's too soon! My last cycle was 26 days (didn't track so maybe ovulation was just earlier last cycle), so if AF doesn't arrive by CD26 I might test! I am CD20 now!

I had never realised the stuffy nose could be a symptom until it was mentioned earlier! 😂 I am also getting some sharp twinges on my red hand side this evening!
I don't feel like I am PG though, but not gonna rule it out just yet!

@AMS19 You’ve done well to reply to everyone there. I was confused for you. It’s so hard to keep up 🤣
Yeah it stopped two days ago. I was fine yesterday and been fine all day again today so think I’m over it now! Well I only managed to dtd yesterday when it was that peak opk and then have managed tonight aswell. But I haven’t noticed any ewcm or nothing else so god knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ My partner thinks I’m taking the piss now saying are you going to say your fertile week is getting pushed back all the time 🤣🤣 Xx

@positivitytree2020 just been looking at them on Amazon think I’ll order some and do one on Sunday morning which will be 10dpo! I’ll probably post asking if there’s a line even if it is a BFN! 🤣

Yes @Ams19 the orange line is my opks surge. So good to see it like that. Doubtful we'll dtd again tonight (we did it around 4.30pm!) but definitely tomorrow 😆

@positivitytree2020 I got my BFP 11DPO! Just definitely use a FRER! Yeah it is called pregnancy rhinitis. I felt like I couldn't breathe through my nose for ages! I never felt pg either....

@jessi60 at least everyone is reasonably in sync which helps! Haha tell your partner to make the most of it. My husband hasn't had even a brush if the thigh since I got my BFP 3 weeks ago 🤣🤣🤣

@PowerOfFlowers ah 4pm will work just fine! If you can squeeze another one in tomorrow then fab! Then you can sit back and enjoy the TWW!!

Ahhh @Ams19 I have everything crossed for you! I am a notorious stresshead so would be on full panic stations if it were me. The fact you still are feel nauseous definitely sounds positive though. Make sure you get plenty of rest over the weekend.

Right I've definitely lost track once again 😂 but got everything crossed for people who are now coming up to 10DPO/testing point.

I am now CD28 and no rising LH on the OPKs. Did have a bit of EWCM this week. I've told DP we're just DTD every other day until ovulation arrives, might be another 3 weeks if it's the same as last time, at least we'll have covered our bases 🤷🏻‍♀️ poor man is flat out with work too, he's so tired!

Honestly @CardioQueen if I make it to 40 weeks I'm gonna have PTSD at this rate. DTD is definitely the way to go. Fingers crossed you get that peak 🤞

Thank you for the diagram @positivitytree2020 that will help me to get a grip when I think I’ve early symptoms 😅
@jessi60 my ovulation day changed last minute on Premom too. Some of the ratios you have that they’ve scored as high, came up as low for me. Think we touched on this briefly before. Strange🤔 maybe each persons ratios mean different things🤷‍♀️
Oh @Ams19 you poor thing! everything crossed for you and bean! I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, but worth getting reassurance! 🤞🤞
1dpo today ladies! 13 pg tests in the bathroom cupboard (4 of which are frer) 🙈 god give me strength to last even a week😂🤞 xx

@CardioQueen you must have the patience of a saint waiting for ovulation to come around! I feel for you! Have you always had long cycles or is this just something that's happened post-pill?

@positivitytree2020 @AMS19 I had no idea about blocked nose being a symptom either until today! Wonder what else I don't know! I also don't feel particularly pregnant but it's funny because I've never been pregnant so I don't know what it should feel like! I think I'm assuming that when it happens I'll somehow magically just know!

@Foxl2222 yay for 1dpo! I too have an abundance of various tests about the house! I keep getting paranoid that I've left a box in the background of a work zoom call or something haha.

I'm surprised I haven't tried to do a test yet 😂 definitely feel like I can hold out a few more days at least. Ooh I'm excited for when you guys all start testing!

Ahh @Foxl2222 forgot you were over here. Yay for 1DPO!!! ❤❤

@Bells20 being pregnant is not glamorous. I would expecting people to comment on my glow on zoom calls. Nope, I'm here trying to hide all the spots that have appeared and bags from the insomia 🤦‍♀️

@Bells20 how many dpo are you? Sorry I can't keep up with everyone 😅 looking forward to people starting to test and hopefully seeing some BFP's!🤞🤞
I've tied all my boxes up in a bag and hid them at the back of the cupboard so they aren't too easy to reach. In fairness, I don't think I'll have much desire to test until maybe 10/11 dpo.
Does anyone else look up prams, nursery furniture etc? Or is that me being a weirdo🙈 now all I get advertised on my social media is baby stuff...😳

Ahh @Ams19 the glow will come I'm sure! I hear people say this first bit is the toughest, and even harder I suppose that you can't really tell too many people! How have you found keeping the secret with friends and family etc? Xx

@Bells20 and the irony is I am not a patient person 😂 but no - this is not at all normal. I got my period at 11 and almost straightaway they were regular. Always on the longer side of around 34 days. Definitely not 57... and I've been off the pill many times over the years and they've been normal straightaway. The hysterical side of me wants to panic immediately but the rational side knows that no dr is going to listen until I've been off the pill about 6 months. It's hard to know what's going on though 😕
