@jessi60 what DPO are you?

@PowerOfFlowers I actually don't think I would be able to go in 🤣

@PowerOfFlowers YESSSSS CONGRATULATIONS!!!! so so happy for you! Definitely had a good feeling about your chart! Isn't it funny that we're the same length of time pregnant even though you've just found out! Ahhh I'm totally beaming for you! I had the same problem last week, tested before I went into the office.. needless to say I barely got a jot of work done 😂

Ahhh omg yes @PowerOfFlowers this is the best news!! I knew your chart was looking 👌 bring on those mat leave lunches 😂😂😂 huge congratulations lovely xx

Thanks @Bells20 @jessi60 and @AMS19 This is how I'm feeling - 🙈😬😂
I know @Bells20 according to NHS website and going from the date of my last period, I'm due 22nd August and 3 weeks pregnant. Weird writing that! When are you??
I knew something was happening when I took my bbt this morning and it went up again @AMS19 Here's my chart!
When do you think I must have implanted? That weird dizziness I had on Saturday could have been it?
Honest, didn't think it would happen this quick! We've just had a case of 24 wines delivered for Christmas!! 😂

@PowerOfFlowers oh my gosh congrats 🎉🎉🎉I had a feeling you would be looking at your chart. Amazing!

@jessi60 ah sounds frustrating. Hope you get a bfp/AF soon, so annoying being in limbo.

@PowerOfFlowers if I had to guess you implanted 7th, but total guess!! You probably won't ever know! Yay how exciting 😊 have I literally have bottles and bottles of wine for Christmas. With the nausea I cant even manage the alcohol free wine at the moment, drinking squash is all I can manage. Eeeek so exciting! What a perfect Christmas present for you guys!

@PowerOfFlowers ah I've just remembered you have longer cycles so it's not quite the same. My last period date was the 8th Nov so I thought it'd practically be the same! Shame about the wine 😂 I'm sure someone will enjoy it on your behalf haha. The apps say my due date is 15th August. I tried an alcohol free sauvingnon blanc at the weekend. It weren't great. I feel the same, absolutely have never wanted anything more but was surprised that it happened so quickly. I think that's why it still doesn't feel real!

@jessi60 that's so annoying about the test. Can you get hold of an FRER? Agree that limbo is horrible, hope you find out one way or the other soon!

Ahh thanks @GreenApplesYo 😊

I have nausea to come then @AMS19 if all goes ok and AF doesn't turn up this weekend. I knew something was happening because lack of AF symptoms this week and I have more energy than I'd usually have leading up to it.

Oh no about your tests @jessi60 You've had a shit time with being ill this cycle, I'm not surprised its thrown you off. Hugs!

Yeah maybe it was down to being ill and that’s the reason. Does anyone know what you do if you have long cycles without a period can you not start opk testing until you’ve had a period and stuff again? Don’t know how it works.

@DrS44 well my app is saying 13dpo based off a second LH peak that I had but I don’t know if I even ovulated or not. Don’t have any evidence of it 😂 xx

Omg @PowerOfFlowers amazing news!!! 🥰🥰 Your feelings were right! What a lovely Xmas present!
Please tell us your symptoms you had and how many cycles of TTC was this? Congratulations!!
And thank you for the birthday wishes btw ☺️
Yay we're getting more of us over the line girls!

@Bells20 thank you for the birthday wishes, and you @AMS19 - fellow December baby! Definitely make up for the drinking next year haha!

@DrS44 Thank you for the birthday wishes! Yes so crap turning 30 in a pandemic! I hear you! I thought I'd escaped it by having a winter birthday but oh no!
Any joy on the OPKs? I'm CD15 and finally feeling something today. Slight side pain, CM getting more watery as day has gone on. OPK crept up to 0.4 which is the highest so far this cycle, and temps still quite low (for me) so feels like there's room for a surge and spike in the coming days 🤞
DTD tonight and hung upside down off the bed for 10 mins after hahaha

Aww thanks @Emmgrem 😀 First cycle testing opks and bbt, but we did a half arsed try last month. Been off the pill for a year though, so I knew exactly how long my cycle was and around when I should be ovulating. All the other things I learned from you guys here 😂 symptoms - sore boobs, I feel like I'm about to come on and like I'm wet, but I'm not 😬 and that weird two hours of dizziness last Saturday.

I'm home now after being in work - me and DP have had a chance to actually talk about it all. He was on a call in his office when I tested, I popped my head through the door, asked him to mute himself and then just said "i'm pregnant" He had to get off the call for five mins 😂 Then I had to leave for work! What. A. Morning!

Ooh @Emmgrem - your surge could be about to start then!! Defo dtd tonight and next few days! Side pain sounds like the start of it 🤞🏻

Hey ladies!! Omg @PowerOfFlowers !!! This is amazing news!! Congratulations! So lovely to see the BFP's gradually on the up!!😁😁

Oh @jessi60 ! I feel you! I'm due AF today, no sign of it, but testing negative on frer and CB digital. I'm CD30 and my normal cycle length is 28, but been tracking my periods for about 8 months now and on 1 other occasion af came on CD31 so it's not really late! Had to use the CB digital today as I thought seeing "not pregnant" in writing would make it easier to move on lol but there's always that tiny bit of hope. Wish af would just show so can get on with the next cycle...

@Dex1521 hows the bbt tracking going? Do you start this from CD1?

Hope everyone is well! Xx

@Foxl2222 Thanks, nice to speak to someone else going through similar😂 yeah I’m normally 28 days so 5 days late and no sign. But then I did get a second opk peak which puts my period due tomorrow on CD 34. But weird my cycle is longer than normal🤷🏻‍♀️ Let me know how you get on Xxxx

Is this positive ladies? Line eyes please
It showed up immediately and I'm 9DPO with night urine (just now)

@jessi60 @foxl2222 eeek you never know. If it doesn't happen a long LP is your benefit to take away though from this cycle. And if CD1 comes today/tomorrow you'll have your fertility week over Xmas! Means you can also drink and not worry. So lots of benefits to take, but hopefully you've just implanted late so hcg levels are low 🤞

@PowerOfFlowers ha love you told him on a conference call! I woke my husband up to tell him on a Saturday morning, he had one eye open to look at the test, said well done, and fell back to sleep 🤦‍♀️🙄😂

@Bells20 any symptoms yet??

Honeslty time goes so slow when your pregnant. I feel like I've been pregnant forever and it is only a month I've know about it! Im just glad you get 2 weeks add on to how pregnant you are so it sounds longer 😂 i have my first F2F midwife apt tomorrow for blood tests and to pick up my notes. Had my 1.5hr booking apt over the phone last week!

So girls....we are coming towards to end of another thread. I really really want to stay in touch with everyone. But how do those who are trying feel? Are you happy with us who have had BFPs sticking around? Or is it easier for you if we have 2 groups, one for us with BFPs and one for those still trying? Obviously we would still check in with both, just won't discuss anything pregnancy related on the TTC one. Let us know what works for everyone. Had to set it all up.

New name ideas please POAS? POAS Christmas Party or something festive?

Xxx

@Foxl2222 BBT tracking going ok I started on CD6 lol kept forgetting to start it so only been tracking 4 days and it seems to be following my OPK levels like a slightly drop in temp and the same day I had a slight drop in OPK then both back up the next day. I’ve attached a pic of my chat to show

@AMS19 I’m happy with all you gals with your BFP staying. You give good advice when we are all pulling our hair out in the TWW etc 😂 your POAS Christmas group names sound good lol

Might help if I attached the chat 😂 @Foxl2222

@PowerOfFlowers that's funny, I really thought I'd be thoughtful about how I told DP but I ended up just shouting it at him the second he walked through the door when he got back from the gym.

@Foxl2222 and @jessi60 got my fingers crossed for something to happen soon! Hopefully a BFP but a decent LP is also something to me glad of!

@Dex1521 I really enjoyed temping and seeing the two lines cross when my opk increased was really exciting haha hoping for signs of ovulation soon for you!

@AMS19 I would love to hang around if people will have me! And in agreement for a festive POAS addict Christmas themed thread!

In terms of symptoms, I had been having cramps every day but yesterday actually had some spotting in the afternoon, it was honestly the tiniest bit of blood which I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't inspecting but it was terrifying! I honestly don't know how women manage to get through a full 9 months I'll be a nervous wreck by full term 😂. Fortunately nothing since then, temps are still high and still getting positive tests so I live in hope! Also fell asleep at 8.30 last night so I'm probably in that exhausted phase now.

@AMS19 yes would be fab to keep it going gals! It's nice to have our graduate insights!
Tis the season to POAS
All I want for Christmas is two pink lines
Elves POAS
Mistletoe and POAS
POAS under the mistletoe
Dreaming of a pink Christmas
Let it snow baby dust
Ho ho ho-ws your line progression?
DTD around the Christmas tree
Jingle all the way to BFP

Hahaha I need to do some work

*and a hobby obviously 🤣

@DrS44 such imagination! I've got to say I absolutely love all of those but ho ho ho-ws your line progression made me actually laugh out loud 😂😂

So annoyed... CD 17 and still no surge and temp still low. I don't want a really long cycle again as I'm worried it impacts on chances 😭 I'll test again this afternoon 🙈 really hoping it comes soon 😭

Has anyone found pregnancare has delayed ovulation? Did our graduates take pregnacare?

@AMS19 thanks for sorting out the threads. I'd like to stay as one group, but of course I'd understand if people want to split into two groups 🙂I like the POAS Christmas Party name idea.

I'll be 10wks on Sunday!! I am excited because 10wks is about when the bean stops looking like an alien and starts looking like a titchy real baby. Agree the first month and a bit have been slooooow. I'm back at work now which I hope will help. Honestly week 4 - 7 felt like a lifetime.

@bells20 I got some cramping too. I think it's normal. Have you told anyone else yet? I did tell my manager in the end. Actually it was quite nice chatting to someone who isn't DP about it - it's funny not being able to mention it when it's such a life-changing thing!

@Melani1995 yes that looks positive to me. Congrats x

@DrS44 I’m taking pregnacare and I’m on cycle day 34 when I normally have a 28 day cycle 🤷🏻‍♀️ But my cycle before that was fine so who knows x
