Take care @MgW1, have a really happy Christmas and new year!
I hope all goes really well with your tests xxx

Sunflowers81 · 16/12/2020 21:36

@cherrypickd congratulations! That's a positive! How do you feel?

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 16/12/2020 21:37

Wishing you a lovely Christmas @MgW1, and a pregnancy/baby filled 2021! Keeping fingers crossed for you for your scans and for a sticky bean...I'm sure it won't be long. 🎄🥂 💜 🎉 xx

cherrypickd · 16/12/2020 22:55

@MgW1 take care, have a lovely Christmas ❤️

Thank you @Lottiebugz22 and @BubsNumber2inTheMaking ☺️

@SRyellow thank you! I don’t think I’ve had any symptoms at all really. A few twinges on both sides of my ovaries and I had shooting pains in my boobs last night, but I feel like a lot of it has been symptom spotting. One thing I have noticed is that I’ve had a lot more CM than I usually do at this point in my cycle.

Thank you @Sunflowers81. I’m not sure how to feel tbh! A bit relived to know that we can conceive, even if it isn’t a sticky bean this time. A bit excited. But also nervous about AF now. It’s due on Sunday and if it comes I will enjoy being able to have drinks at Christmas. Just going to try and take the next few days one at a time and not get too stressed.

Hey everyone! How are you all getting on?
I've not posted on this thread for a while! Hope everyone's well :)

I stopped reading this thread after we found out we have a 1 in 250 chance of having a baby with a genetic issue which runs in my family.
It kind of knocked me a bit!
In the end we decided to get tests to find out if we are carriers, and we are still ttc in the mean time as we didn't want to waste a month when it might take a while to conceive anyway. We are looking on the positive side that it's a 249 in 250 chance of a healthy baby, and if it turns out that neither of us are carriers then even better! (We will only have an affected child if we are both carriers, which is a 1 in 250 chance).

It's almost ovulation time for me! I'm quite chilled out this cycle, although I'm sure I won't be by the time it gets to the tww!

Lottiebugz22 · 17/12/2020 06:52

Hey everyone. Hope you're all well. It's 2 days before my period is due and I did a test this morning and it was negative. I think I'm definitely out now.

SunnydazeQ · 17/12/2020 08:00

@MgW1 have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family 🎉🎉🎉 Hope all goes well with the tests. Xx

@SRyellow and @gracie2307 hello!! How are you both doing? I am CD11 and even though I said we're being more relaxed about things, I still don't want to miss ovulation day 🙈 For the first time I am using the easy@home OPKs, thought I'd give it a whirl as didn't want to fork out for CBs if we're more relaxed this month.

Hi @SunnydazeQ , I'm doing ok thanks. Have been peeing on sticks all week (!) and finally the cheapie internet one is registering a pregnancy today...which is interesting as it says online they are 'highly sensitive' and pick up 10mlU of HCG but I've only just today got a v.faint positive on it, when I got a positive on a FRER on Monday. My period is due tomorrow so I'm going to do two more tests tomorrow (FRER just because I've got it and would quite like the reassurance of a bold line! And another internet cheapie to see if it's darker), then that's it for the testing.
I had crazy bad insomnia last night 1-4am, so am feeling broken and horribly nauseous today. About to have a nice carby breakfast to sort me out!!
How are you doing? Happy Thursday! Thank goodness it's almost the weekend! 😅 x

SRyellow · 17/12/2020 08:55

@SunnydazeQ 7dpo for me had a gradual temp dip from 5dpo but too early for af so trying not to pay much attention. Pretty much no symptoms to report other than vivid dreams but that’s not unusual. Good to be more relaxed, but know what you mean around O date, when do you think you usually Ovulate? I switched to the cheaper sticks a few months back and just use CB to confirm when I think I see the peak now X

Sandiesands · 17/12/2020 09:34

Hey all hope your all okay

Im 11dpo now and feeling like rubbish, headaches washed out and immense left side pelvic pressure, so i thought i test.

My first ever BFP !! can't believe it, i think im still a a state of happy shock lol

Congratulation @Sandiesands !! 🎉 💜 🎄 Wonderful news xxx

Tara1711 · 17/12/2020 11:56

@Lottiebugz22 I tested on Monday and it was negative, at the weekend I had a couple of very faint positives and haven’t tested since!

Tara1711 · 17/12/2020 12:00

@Sandiesands what an amazing Christmas present!! Congratulations!

That's great. How many days were you from starting your period? When you got the faint positives? X congratulations

Tara1711 · 17/12/2020 12:25

@Lottiebugz22 I was already 2 days late when I got the faint positive but got a negative after that so not sure what’s going on! Xx

How confusing. Maybe you should ring the doctors? It might have been a chemical pregnancy.

Tara1711 · 17/12/2020 12:31

@Lottiebugz22 I did speak to the doctors and they said to wait a week and test again if I haven’t come on. It’s driving me insane, I just want to know either way xx

I know. I can imagine it's stressful. Are you trying for your first baby?

Tara1711 · 17/12/2020 12:43

@Lottiebugz22 yes trying for my first, month 13th and this is the first time I’ve had a faint positive. I have a gut feeling I am pregnant but that might just be wishful thinking! Xx
