@CardioQueen just so you know where we are

Here we go ladies! The last thread was a lucky one so let's keep up the success on this one!

@Dex1521 I was going to say I actually thought I could see something 😂😂 But refer yourself back to this when you feel tempted... www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/pregnancy-test-calculator.php

I am @AMS19 It would solve a lot wouldn't it! I'm just glad that partners can now come to scans etc.

@Dex1521 I can see something.... 🧐

@jessi60 I sympathise with the soreness! If you were to breastfeed, would they imapct the milk flow? I have a pierced nipple. I might have to take it out if my nipples get bigger... 😬😬😬

@Emmgrem it really does look like it doesn’t it!! But I’m telling myself it can’t be as there is no way it could be but I’m thinking too have I got my ovulation day wrong but how could I when I OPK and BBT testing. Definitely going to save that website and go to it when I feel tempted hopefully won’t anymore but can’t guarantee 🤣

@PowerOfFlowers can you!!!! Omg I’m trying not to panic but my heart is racing 😨 it must be. Fake positive no way it would show at 5dpo

@PowerOfFlowers funny you say that I've just been crying to my OH because I can't 'go' haha. I'm going to get some Lactulose from the chemist I think.

@Dex1521 I do see something but at 5dpo it would definitely be too early so I'm inclined not to trust it, unless you think it's possible you ovulated earlier?

@AMS19 I'm awaiting the announcement too.. anxious that my scan will be cancelled next week as they might see it as a non essential appointment 😬

We hadn't dtd since conception as I felt anxious about it, I do often get some spotting after sex and I was worried it'd make me panic. We did this afternoon and as predicted I've now got some spotting so currently feeling super anxious but trying to reassure myself that it's probably fine!

@Dex1521 Yeah deffo looks like something is there😮 but yeah 5dpo would be impossible near enough. But you couldn’t have dates wrong and things. Or the test is just dodgy. Do another one?😂

@PowerOfFlowers Apparently there’s no reason why you can’t breastfeed as mine are behind the muscle but I think it’s one of them things where I won’t know until I try. I used to have my nipple pierced aswell but couldn’t cope with the pain all the time as it hurt too much even after a year 😂😂

@Bells20think it’s a false positive if there is anything there so not trusting it plus it’s only an IC so they can’t be trusted either haha. Just got away with myself for a moment there. I was thinking maybe I ovulated early too but with tracking OPK and BBT I’d find it strange if I did when I had a pretty text book OPK and BBT rise

@jessi60 might do another one at 7dpo 🙄 who knows with me lol I think with it being a cheapie it’s false but ugh I was gonna have a cider tonight but don’t think I can now 😂

Well...that solves my issue of telling family early 😂😂 if ever there was gonna be a christmas write off, I'm glad it is this year when I'm hiding a pregnancy and can't drink!

@Bells20 - I need to get myself some Lactulose! Hoping it'll help because i feel so ugh with it!
@AMS19 - there we go! Problem solved 😄

@AMS19 I’m still going to have to tell my mam super early which I don’t want to☹️ She was sending me her shopping trolley when she was in Tesco the other day. Saying how she’s got me aperol etc for Xmas. I feel so bad 😂 xx

@AMS19 and anyone else this applies to, really sorry if your Christmas plans have to be cancelled. Such a shame. DP and I were always just going to have a quiet one with just us, but I do feel for anyone who has had to make changes xx

@Dex1521 I feel like I'm living vicariously through you 😂 I don't need to test as you've done it for me.. now I'll just wait until you test again so that I have permission once you get an early BFP 😆

@jessi60 ohh that's so sweet about your mum and the drinks but so awkward. How will you tell her, Xmas present announcement or low key because it's early?

@AMS19 it was meant to be!

We're in the south so a lot of my friends have gone into tier 4 and so can't even see other people on Xmas day now. Grandparents not able to see their grandkids etc, I feel for them 😣 But I keep thinking at least this would all be a good time to be pregnant with the lack of social occasions and not missing out on anything! I have a lot of wedding next year and already letting myself picturing maternity dresses if those go ahead 🙈

@Emmgrem I know! 😂
Just like low key her and my dad on Christmas Eve but obviously say how early I am. And then probably wait later until I tell my sister, brother etc. Xx

@Emmgrem I'm in London so in teir 4.

We would have told our parents and siblings over Christmas but will now wait until after the 12 week scan which will make me feel a lot better. Takes the pressure off a bit. I'm gonna definitely wait until I can tell my mum in person. I'm also a bit relieved from a safety perspective too. A lot of my family are key workers so pleased to not have the exposure there. Just have to hope it is only a month or so then we can get back to some form of normality!

@Emmgrem haha I’ll be your guinea pig 🤣 BFPs for us both then lol

Yeah I feel sorry for anyone who’s had to change plans but also think about how good it is to hide it also! Definitely feel grateful to get pregnant soon as won’t be missing out socially too when we do get back to some form of reality

Ok this is a question for all the graduates

Just Incase i need these options for Xmas day and Boxing Day what is the best non alcoholic drinks

Preferably bucksfizz/Prosecco replacements

Hahaha had to show you guys this. So I finally got my peak 😂🙄🙄🙄
This is why cheapie OPKs are useless! CD25.. and pretty sure that would never be a 2.75 anyway as it's not even darker than control line.

However I'm taking it as a good sign that I'm still getting positive OPKs at 5DPO 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Dex1521 I did some Googling and the Friexenet non alcoholic sparking wine is meant to be really good so I've got a bottle of that and also a bottle of Nosecco for Christmas. I have tried neither yet though. I did however try the non alcoholic kopparberg which is alright. That's the best review I can give it 😂

@Emmgrem 😂😂 premom is on another planet for you I think!

@Dex1521 I've just put Nosecco in my Tesco order, plus I've got some Shloer 😄 I've drank the white grape Shloer tonight, was ok. It settled my stomach which is good!
Ohhhh @Emmgrem what a peak that is!! Crazy!!

@Dex1521 Nosecco all the way. Tastes like a sweet prosecco! I absolutely loved it. Haven't been able to tough the stuff since I had nausea, but all I can drink right now is squash, not even water. But when it tried it I loved it!

@Emmgrem definitely a decent opk. Like you day, doesn't look as strong as premkm is saying but doesn't matter, a peak is a peak! Hopefully a temp rise this morning or tomorrow morning then so you know you ovulated 🤞

Oh @Emmgrem sorry just read it properly. You've already ovulated?! Are you thinking this might be showing HCG then?

Morning evening my temp went back up this morning which is good. Did another IC pregnancy test this morning with FMU and it was crystal clear so yesterday definitely a false positive 😞 my own fault though for doing it too early. Least my temp is back up though. Could that be an implantation dip or is it too early (I’m 6dpo)?

Thanks for all the suggestions I’ll definitely look them up xx

Morning everyone I meant 😂 don’t think I’m fully awake yet haha
