@Highfalutinlootin thank you. I got my peak this morn on opk so it looks like I get ewcm a couple days prior to ovulation as opposed to right on ovulation day. We bd'd twice yesterday and will twice today, and tomo if I can convince him!! Hoping that covers us!!

cherrypickd · 20/12/2020 13:24

@Sunflowers81 I’m so sorry, sending you lots of love and hope you have a nice relaxing Christmas ❤️

@SRyellow I had my a BFP on 10 dpo but it is still very early and yours could definitely get darker over the next few days! What test did you use? I did an easy@home one on 11 dpo and it was very faint, I did a FRER on 12 dpo (I’ve been testing like crazy...) and it was much darker. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I’m not seeing my mum before Christmas anymore given the covid situation so I’m going to keep my BFP quiet for a bit longer! I think you said you were going to tell your mum today, so exciting! Hope you have a lovely day with her.

My AF is due today and like I said a few days ago I’ve been having a lot more watery CM this week so every time I feel something I’m running to the loo in a slight panic... I don’t know when I’ll calm down. Trying to keep myself distracted and keeping everything crossed I make it to the end of the day without any bleeding.

SRyellow · 20/12/2020 15:59

Thanks @Highfalutinlootin and @cherrypickd I’m not feeling too positive about it, had a bit of light cramping today and more cm then usual but just got to wait and see I guess. I used first response but I’ve just ordered some of the cheap hcg strips. I hope all is still well @cherrypickd keep busy and sending all the good wishes for a healthy pregnancy.

SunnydazeQ · 21/12/2020 19:14

Hi @BubsNumber2inTheMaking how are you? Have you finished all your testing now? How are things going? Do you have lots of symptoms now? Hope all's well xx

Hi @SRyellow ooh you are testing any day now? I think the first week takes forever but the second week in the TWW goes by so much faster. Let us know how you get on!! Wishing you a BFP for Christmas :) What a lovely present that would be!! xx

I ovulated today and it's the first time my cycle has returned to how it was before my MC. I had a couple months where I was ovulating on CD17 but now returned to CD15 so very happy about this :) Had the usual bloating and discomfort today which is what happens when I ovulate; but also got my peak yesterday.

Hi @SunnydazeQ , I'm doing ok thanks. I've stopped testing but was a bit of an idiot. On Friday I got the nice strong positives I wanted (AF due date) but cheapie internet test was still only faint. I had one more internet cheapie left so thought I'd test on Sunday and it'd be darker, but it wasn't! In fact it was a bit lighter. And it made me feel crappy. Took the day pulling myself together again and I'm in a good place and have vowed no more testing! There's no point. Just going to think I'm pregnant until I'm not. A test won't help decipher that. When I had my mc, my hcg was rising so testing wouldn't have worked anyway - plus I tested positive for 2 weeks after my d&c so I know how unreliable they are! Was SO cross at myself for not just stopping on AF day 🤦🏼‍♀️
Anyway, apart from that, I'm fine! Bit of mild nausea here and there, pretty tired over the weekend, sensitive sore boobs have started now. But that's it. I'm still super early though - not even 5 weeks yet. Told my mum through a window on Sunday 🥰 and my best friend who knows how long we were trying for. It made me feel happier to hear their positive reactions. Gave me a bit more hope.
Anyway, how are things with you? Did you get your peak opk? Are you in 2ww now?xx

SunnydazeQ · 21/12/2020 19:25

@Sandiesands congratulations and what a lovely Christmas present!! Are you going to wrap the test as well? How exciting!! Happy Christmas xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I plan on not telling anyone until I have to so for work this might be sooner rather than later LOL If we continue like we are now, hiding away at home might work it all out for us hahaha

@gracie2307 now catching up and your message sounds promising! How are you doing? Wishing you a BFP for Christmas lovely xx

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 21/12/2020 19:36

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm in London so no sign of returning to an office for months yet - means I can get away with a lunchtime nap for a little while too 🤗😉😴
I've decided not to tell anyone else now, unless it comes up, as very easy to just keep it quiet in the current circumstance! 🤫
I've just done my self referral form for the hospital today. Feels like a positive step forwards in believing this pregnancy will be successful....'fake it till you make it' type thing! Will be pleased when I've got a few more weeks under my belt... 😬😬😬x

SunnydazeQ · 21/12/2020 19:37

Awww no @Sunflowers81 so sorry to hear you are going through this. Sending lots of positivity your way as I know exactly how you feel. Big hugs xx

SunnydazeQ · 21/12/2020 19:42

@Bluepolkadots42 a bit late now (sorry) yes I think possibly as you tested different times. Test again between 4 and 5 to compare but also BD to cover all bases.

Hey @Raffie13 how are you getting on? Have you ovulated now? Hope you don't have to wait so long again.

SunnydazeQ · 21/12/2020 19:54

Hi @millionairesshortbread4 fingers crossed for you! A BFP would be an amazing way to start 2021 x

Hi @MiniBaker the month I started acupuncture, I fell pregnant. Sadly it was not a sticky bean and even though I kept with it, I haven't had the same luck. However it is excellent for relaxing. Oh a colleague tried a whole year, did all the tests etc and didn't get pregnant until she started acupuncture so clearly works for some people. Good luck!

@ACNass and @Cienega good luck for when you next test xx

@cherrypickd hope you're doing well and keeping busy with Christmas to take your mind off things. I feel like the days are going so fast now that I am just looking forward to my last day of work tomorrow. Ready for Christmas, even though it's a lockdown version.

OP posts:
SunnydazeQ · 21/12/2020 20:11

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking for sure and what a great first step. All the future appointments will give you dates to look forward to. Are you going to do a private scan to put your mind at ease?

OP posts:
SunnydazeQ · 21/12/2020 20:18

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking just saw your earlier message about telling your Mum and best friend!! How lovely Flowers and yes sharing is caring especially when your mind is in overdrive. Enjoy every second lovely. xx

Yes I got my peak yesterday but we were so busy at the weekend, hubby was too tired to BD. We did on Fri, Sat, this morning and this evening so fingers crossed one of those hit the spot. I definitely ovulated today though as I had all the bloating and discomfort. BTW I took your advice too and trying temping again, so far so good :)

@SunnydazeQ

Wow you're on it getting back to everyone tonight! I struggle to keep up with threads sometimes! :)

CD27 for me, and still no definite positive OPK. I did have one which wasn't a full positive on CD21 (came up as LH 0.73 on the premom app) so I'm thinking I might have missed it with my tests and it was super short?! If so I might actually be 6/7DPO...

We will see!

Hope you are all well!
