A new thread for 2021, with all the luck of the Irish 🍀💚

Morning ladies
@DrS44 Ooh I see what you mean, if you stopped taking OPKs there could've been a second peak you didn't know about.. But you should still hopefully be covered regardless. Also it looks like you took your temp at a diff time this morning- could that have skewed it?

@Dex1521 Glad the cyst has gone down. Fingers crossed your temp stays around there tomorrow then 🤞

@Bells20 Don't give her any encouragement with extra testing- she's doing so well 🤣

@CardioQueen @jessi60 Oh the beige food diet sounds fun. I worry that I eat way too many carbs and too few veg as it is! I'm quite slim and only seem to put weight on my belly like a little pouch. I always used to get people asking if I was pregnant as I could pass for 4 months most of the time I reckon! So I've always looked forward to that part so that I can eat without worrying about that 😂🙈

@AMS19 Oooo so nearly there!! Is it the same feeling as poas to get preg- you try not to test too much so that you won't be disappointed?

@Panda368 Ahh sorry about your temp dip. The fact you're disappointed is maybe a sign it's time for #2 then?!

Here's my daily chart update. Temps still high. No cramping yesterday but I think boobs are a little sorer. 7DPO and it's dragging!

@Emmgrem I eat a lot of food in general and now that i mainly want carbs I think the calories have stayed the same even though I feel crap half the day 😂 I will def put on weight soon as I've dialled back my training so much, so 12 weeks can't come soon enough. I am only about 8.5 stone so weight gain will be very obvious. Esp in shorts and summer tops.

@Panda368 agree with @Emmgrem that the disappointment is probably a good indicator of how you're feeling?

Morning 😀
Sorry about the temp drop @Panda368 but I agree with @Emmgrem - maybe it is time to start for no2 if you feel disappointed. Ooh exciting!!
I feel you @Emmgrem - it drags on soooo much!! But, by Sunday you'll be 10dpo and very near!! 🤞🏻 your temps continue like they are.

Temps looking good @Dex1521 😀 I am such an advocate for 12dpo testing 🤣 also, weird, one pregnancy symptom i have is a blocked nose since my tww week. It comes and goes! How are your boobs feeling?
Yay for a temp rise @DrS44 I also agree with pp that you have covered yourself with dtd.
Ooh @AMS19 - so so close!! You can barely see it!
@CardioQueen I am so with you on the spinach!! Did the Bodycoach plan last year and my fridge was full of spinach 😂😂😂
Thanks @Bells20 I might try that if it doesn't get any better 😀

@Emmgrem that is a beautiful looking chart 😍

Morning ladies!
Ahh @AMS19 that is looking good!! Almost nothing there🤞🤞🙏
@PowerOfFlowers @CardioQueen im with you on the constipation😓 but can't really complain as it's the only symptom so far! I'm 6 weeks today so shouldn't speak too soon! Exactly 4 weeks behind you powerofflowers!!☺️
That's good about not getting the dip @Dex1521 🤞 and loving the willpower to not poas! 😂
@GreenApplesYo when does the brown food phase tend to start?🙈🙈
Xx

Hehe I tested with SMU. Are these indent lines? Can a like even be seen? I think I'm going mad 🤯 I feel like I see colour but also feel they're indent lines ah help required ASAP I've gone all shaky

@Dex1521 I see lines in both of them! 😀😀😀 😆😆😆

@PowerOfFlowers really? Do they look like they've got colour on them to you?

I really feel like they could be indents I don't know I'm on antibiotics. Started them yesterday could that cause a vvfaint false positive?

Its faint but I don't have to squint to see it. Its more prominent on the IC one. I have no idea about indents etc I'm afraid @Dex1521
I would test again tomorrow morning with FMU. But at the moment, from what I see, they are lines 😀

I've got one FRER and one CB left so will try again with FMU in the morning. Going to try not to let slip to my OH about it

@PowerOfFlowers @Emmgrem @CardioQueen

I think it might be a sign to have another go at 'seeing what happens' though it definitely would have been a bit easier to have had a happy accident - would also feel a bit easier to tell my boss the "bad" news after such an awful year. 😂 It would still kill him.

It's definitely a very weird short cycle this month I don't think I've ever had a 24dayer before.

Period always starts the evening or morning after a temp drop so I will have to see if it arrives in the next 24 hours. Dr google has now told me you can have an implantation dip around 10dpo so who the hell knows what's going on but Im not going to pin my hopes to google. 🤷‍♀️

@Dex1521 hope you are feeling better soon

@Foxl2222 hmm probably around 6-7 weeks for the start of the brown food phase. So potentially any time now for you! I think it probably does depend on how sick you feel. I never threw up, but felt queasy most of the time and could only manage small meals.

@AMS19 that's looking very faint now 🙂hopefully it'll keep going in the right direction.

@PowerOfFlowers @Dex1521 urgh I have a blocked nose too. Apparently it only gets worse grrr. Can't stop sneezing either, I am wondering if I make the baby jump when it happens haha!

Oh Holy shit @Dex1521 just seen the update

😲😲😲😲

I think you might be pregnant!!! 😃

I'd say it's unlikely you'd get indents on 2 completely different tests and the CB one is definitely blue.

I am excited for you but it's still early days xxx

@GreenApplesYo no don't 😭 do you think they look positive definitely not indents? Should I test again tonight or in the morning

@Dex1521 I have the shittest eyes and I can see it on the IC. And those Clearblue ones are renowned for being very average. I have all the fingers crossed for your FMU test tomorrow.

@Foxl2222 yes my brown food stage started bang on 6 weeks. I'm just over 8 now. Agree with @GreenApplesYo re: depending how sick you feel - I also haven't vomited but I would very rarely vomit. I def seem to feel better in the evening and can eat almost normal sized meals and normal foods for dinner some days. Breakfast and lunch are anyone's guess though. There have been a lot of coco pops, crackers, cheese sandwiches and yoghurts. Bananas seem to go down ok too.

I'm just not believing it yet we will see if AF shows she's due Sunday. I showed my OH and he could see it easily which says something but he also isn't getting his hopes up as it's so faint and im trying so hard to remain calm 🤣

@Dex1521 argh I hope so!? Sorry I might have reacted excited too soon and you might need to try be cool about it until you get a stronger line. But I'd say it's looking positive and it's unlikely you'd get two false positives from evaps on different tests.

Hmm it might be best to do smu again tomorrow rather than in case you get a BFN later with the hormone levels still being quite low, and it makes you unnecessary worried? If you can resist that is.

But yeh take it easy until you're sure 😉keeping my fingers crossed.

Honestly tempted to go buy a digital test but I've heard they aren't as sensitive? I might test tonight and tomorrow morning I'm off to Superdrug to stock up FRERS😂 think I'll test both times Incase I'm like you and get better results at night or like @Bells20 and better results in the morning (I think it was Bells😂 correct me if I'm wrong)

they have FRERS on offer at £8.50 if anyone needs one ASAP btw

Omg how expensive are they?! They do 7 for about £15 (equivalent) here. Everything is so expensive here I'm always shocked when anything is cheaper.

@CardioQueen pregnancy tests cost a FORTUNE here! Anything below £10 is a bargain and they're sold in packs of 2 not 7 😂 so a POAS addict like me has to take a small loan out 🤣

Yeah they def know how to channel to the inner addict here...oh may as well buy 7, only $12 more than 2...oh may as well do another, I have 7 after all 😂

@AMS19 Thank you! Always such a compliment! 👏🤗

@Dex1521 Omg I see it on the IC! I remember you saying about cramps/possible implantation quite late on, so definitely possible that it just wouldn't show as strong this early. ICs usually only show strong after missed period.
I would take a FRER tomorrow with FMU if I was you. 🤞🤞

@CardioQueen What!! Why are they so expensive here! 😩

@Bells20 forgot to say it made me laugh so much about you crying because your apple wasn't as crunchy as you expected 😂 that's brilliant!

@Foxl2222 Same as @CardioQueen my beige and bland started Xmas Eve, bang on 6 weeks. I felt so bad because we'd just bought so much food for Christmas and all I wanted was tinned Ravioli on toast 😂

@Dex1521 I am feeling pretty confident that you're pregnant, congratulations!!!! Those are both definitely lines!!!! Of course makes sense to wait until at least until AF is expected but no line eyes needed it's defo there on both pics!!
