Just starting us up a new thread 😁

Who have I missed??

GIRLS....!!!!!!
Holy shit. Was not expecting this at all!

@MrsB2019x OMG congratulations!!!! Xx

@MrsB2019x and there was you thinking you hadn't even ovulated!

@MrsB2019x OMG omg OMG OMG omg !!

I’m actually crying, & I’m not sure how much I can blame the hormones 😂

Thanks girls @whambam89 @Sansa87 🥰 I can’t stop shaking!

Now for the anxious wait til the early scan to rule out ectopic 😬 is today too early to call the EPU? Or do I leave it a couple of days to make sure it’s there and I’m not imagining it 🤪

OMG! Fantastic news @MrsB2019x what a brilliant line!!

@MrsB2019x after my ectopic I had bloods taken at around 5 weeks. They still wouldn't scan until 6 weeks.

@kirinm Thank you! 🥰 Yeah they said they’d scan me at 6 weeks but wondering if they would book an appt in advance for me to go in 2 weeks time or something

Did you have any symptoms?

@kirinm Not really. My boobs usually hurt and my nipples are like razors from the day after ovulation but they weren’t this time - I know that’s too early to be pregnancy related but it’s never happened before? They started hurting about 5 days ago but all down the sides and up into my armpits. My DH said to me the other day they looked and felt bigger but I didn’t notice it (still don’t). Other than that, nothing!

@MrsB2019x so happy for you, how weird that you didn't have your usual post ovulation symptoms!

@whambam89 I know right, I was so convinced I hadn’t ovulated because of it! How are you doing? AF still not here?

@MrsB2019x lovely strong line as well!

Nope no sign of AF still 🤷🏻‍♀️ temp went up slightly this morning so god knows what's going on, I did test after you posted your BFP hoping for some miracle 😂but still BFN 12 dpo

@whambam89 Test again tomorrow! 🤞I don’t know much about temps but they’re meant to go down if AF is imminent aren’t they?

@MrsB2019x I don't know much about them either to be honest hahaha. If AF hasn't arrived I'll probably test again tomorrow, the tests I'm using aren't early ones and I am trying to stay optimistic but failing 😂 I know one of the original pact members didn't get a BFP until 14dpo so hanging onto that hope a little bit 🤞

I really hope AF doesn’t show for you @whambam89 🤞

@MrsB2019x OMG amazing news, congratulations!! SO happy for you! 😁😁😁. What dpo are you? That is a great line!

Fingers crossed @whambam89 ! This is got to be our lucky thread! 😁

On another note I have no idea what my body is doing! I am 4dpo had a bbt drop this morning (almost at the cover line) and still slightly spotting but it's easing off. I did a bit of googling last night and it looks like the dtd heavy bleeding could be linked to using pre-seed a few days before as a fair few online posts have said people have had the same. It was very bizarre though (and prob TMI sorry!) but we were both quite shocked by the amount that came from nowhere and both had to take a shower. I think I'll leave using pre-seed next time just in case it was that

I've not ever used pre-seed @SS123456 what is it meant to do and what is the explanation for bleeding? Seems an odd side effect of something.

Not been on your thread before but wanted to congratulate @MrsB2019x on that fab BFP! I've seen a lot of people say that the month they got a BFP they didn't get any symptoms at all. All the other months they were symptom spotting cramps, looking for implantation bleeding, sore boobs, everything and everything but the month they conceived they felt totally normal. So wish you all the luck at this exciting time ☺️✨

@SS123456 we have been using preseed to help with TTC but never had any issues with bleeding. Perhaps it's ovulation spotting rather than the preseed itself. I can't imagine how it could cause bleeding it's just a natural lubricant to mimic your EWCM if you suffer with dryness or lack of CM, unless you have a slight allergy and it's irritating the lining maybe. Sorry that you've been having issues with it though

@Unicornsparklez hey! Welcome to the thread 😊. Thanks for the advice on the pre-seed. I was thinking the same that it surely couldn't be that but it's the only thing I can think that was different and fell in with the timing 🤷🏻‍♀️

@kirinm it is a sperm friendly lube that, @Unicornsparklez says, creates fake ewcm which is believed to help the sperm get to where they need to be easier. We have only used it about 3 times before on random different months and never had any luck with it

@Unicornsparklez whats your ttc journey been so far?

We have been TTC since may 2019. So around 19 months now 🥴 I've had various tests. Some bloods showed slightly high prolactin levels then further tests resulted in my doctor saying it wasnt a huge concern. Had ultrasounds and they were happy that everything seemed to look healthy. OH has had SA done in July and all results were within normal range except his morphology which was borderline at 4%. It doesn't mean it's impossible but all men are normally within 4 and 14% and at 4 he's at the very bottom end. We have been taking vitamin d, vitamin C, Folic acid and vitamin B for months. I seem to have a slightly short LP As though I'm not maintaining progesterone and a lack of CM so this month we've added Maca root and CoQ10 supplements. They are said to balance hormones so hoping to extend my LP and also have signs of improving sperm quality and quite frankly at this point we'l try anything!! I did notice more CM this month and a higher libido, I also didn't ovulate until CD21 when I usually would around CD16/17 so praying the maca root is balancing our hormones and might be the magic we need however starting to feel as though we may never get pregnant without medical intervention 😕

Awww thank you @SS123456! I have no idea how many DPO I am, I didn’t think I ovulated this month! I would imagine about 12/13dpo maybe?

Thank you @Unicornsparklez! 💙 and welcome to the thread. These are the most amazing bunch of ladies, you will be right at home. Sorry your TTC journey has been rough so far. The majority of us have been TTC for over a year too and suffered losses along the way. Does your DH take Wellman Conception? Could be a total coincidence but my DH started taking them 2 months ago and it seems to have worked!
