Thread 4 wowzers here we go again girlies :) so glad to all be on this journey together :) xxx

Checking in! AF arrived with vengeance yesterday (eventually) so today is CD 2!

@Wowthisisreal That's a shame but at least you're not left wondering anymore I suppose. Hope you get to rest this weekend.

@mackjm20 Me too! It's so nice to have others in the same boat to chat to 🙂

Carrying on from the chat about Valentine's Day...We're short on funds this year due to building an extension so no presents or cards 💝 all I said I was worried about was having a Chinese 😂 Who said romance is dead!

@mackjm20 it's going to be a thread full of BFPs I'm sure 🤞🏻

@Wowthisisreal sometimes I've found that AF can me late for me if I'm stressed, there have been times where I've really convinced myself I'm pregnant and AF hasn't arrived until I've tested. The mind playing tricks it's crazy! On to the next one though.., I think me you and @mackjm20 will have the next TWW together.

@Kayeyeem were the same with V day, we just sold our house and are buying a new build so are now saving for new bits for the house so I'm happy with him making me pancakes haha! A Chinese sounds bloody perfect if you ask me!!

Happy Friday all... I've started the day by watching one born every minute at 7:30am... I think that's an indication how what will be consuming my mind this weekend.. in one of those moods where all I can think about is how much I can't wait to be a mummy.

@Wowthisisreal sorry to hear af arrived hope you can rest and enjoy some treats this weekend :)

@Kayeyeem Omgosh a Chinese sounds amazing! Love a bit of smoked chicken and crispy beef best but I legit love all the Chinese food :)

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yesss I hope we do have a tww cross over! Has af arrived for you yet? I have no idea when to expect mine now lol! Omgosh I love one born! I get like that all the time! I said to Dh yesterday 6+ months trying feels a lifetime but I know for some (and maybe us) it can be so much longer! But whenever it happens I cannot wait to me a mum butttt the birth scares the hell out of me- like I love one born but I’m always like oh god it looks so painful lol! I have zero pain threshold haha x

@mackjm20
Ah yeah AF arrived on Wednesday, a day early so pleased to get her out the way so we can get to baby dancing! My fertile week starts Sun 21 Feb so I've warned my OH to be prepared haha!!
It's suchhhh a good programme isn't it, it looks utterly horrendous but I imagine that feeling when your baby is placed on you for the first time just being incredible, I can't wait. Feel like my brain is just full of baby stuff I need to get myself out for a walk at lunch.

@cookiemonster3001 here's the new one 💖

After a brain fart this morning, I found the thread! Thank you @sunflowersaremyfav93 I cant believe this is our 3rd (or 4th) thread!!! Hopefully this will be the thread we all get our BFP's, some newbies join and continue the legacy that is impatient TTCers!
@sunflowersaremyfav93 ahh I know the feels! Last night I was watching videos on youtube of the fertilization and implantation process lol and OH is on a zoom call tonight with his mates so ill probably end up watching more stuff on there like TWW symptoms and I breathed today? Is that a sign of pregnancy?! lol

@mackjm20 yep the birth defo scares the crap out of me too!! Especially the thought of tearing or being cut, or the first poo after giving birth...

@Wowthisisreal ahhh sorry AF arrived but at least your now not in limbo, sounds as though you maybe ovulated later and that pushed AF back? Hope AF isn't to bad!

@Kayeyeem oo an extension, that must be fun! Chinese sounds perfect to me!! how is your TWW going?

4DPO...dragging! hopefully the mind will be kept occupied this weekend! I have to admit, the one thing I have noticed this month is the lack of cramping...usually I cramp a lot around ovulation and pretty much a lot of the TWW but nothing this month. Maybe a twing or two when I ovulated but that's about it! Who knows!!
I also really need you guys to talk me out of a bad idea! I am so tempted to buy a babygrow, I have seen some really cute ones on etsy! My OH would go mad if he found out, but it would be so cute!

Hahah omg I hear ya @CookieMonster3001 every little thing I'm like ... ooh is that?
Its sooo tempting isn't it!! Ages ago, maybe last summer I bought a lovely little outfit from Zara thinking I'm putting it out there to the universe, I have the outfit, now the universe will give me a baby to put in the outfit... made the mistake of telling my mum and she was all like send it back you're going to jinx it blah blah so now I just have a load of things saved! It's so hard isn't it.. I was also looking up videos of implantation and fertilisation in the last TWW. I completely get it!

Just found the new thread! Got completely confused as stumbled across The other one by accident the other day and stuck to the one.

I’ll have a look back at everyone’s post in a min (now i’ve found them).

So I’m on day 14 of cycle and flo app predicticting today as ovulation today. - ovulation test this morning was visible but nowhere near as dark as control line so count it as negative. However, have lots of egg white CM so guessing it is coming up to that time? So confused - anyone else have this? Worried I’ve missed LH surge and my chance this month. (First month ttc) xxx

P.s have been doing ovulation tests for the last 3 days twice a day and all negative except today’s faint line

@sunflowersaremyfav93 Love one born every minute but I struggle to watch it after having 2 kids 😂 I can honestly say that any pain, exhaustion etc is all forgotten the moment your baby is in your arms and I've had 2 emergency sections after 20+ hour labours 😓 Pancakes sound good, maybe I should persuade him to make me pancakes for breakfast too 🐷😆
@mackjm20 my fav is honey ribs or lemon chicken 🤤 I'm really craving it now 😋
@CookieMonster3001 The extension is amazing but really has taken over our lives. DH has been doing most of it himself so we never get much time together and the dust, omg the dust gets everywhere 😖 it's given us much needed space though.
TWW is going ok (probably because all I can think about is Chinese! 🤣) trying not to symptom spot but I've got a horrible headache today and very tender boobs at 3dpo 🤨
Don't buy anything or you'll find yourself buying all sorts and it will be never ending. Instead make a wish list on Amazon!

Arghh I've been awake since 5am so of course I've been Googling early pregnancy signs! Why do we do this to ourselves?! 😩

I haven't watched one born yet i find it so scary I may just wait till I'm pregnant to prepare myself 🙈

day 10 of flashing smileys today so think I'm done for this week. I'll test next Sunday. I stupidly did a test yesterday, I don't know why I knew full well it would be negative. My husband just laughs as all the way through our relationship I've done sporadic pregnancy tests just in case, even though we've always been really careful so he just think it's an obsession for me- which tbf is probably true!

Celebrating V day tonight, we don't normally but we're hoping itl be the last one before we have to be sensible parents so we're making the most of it! I'm also eating all the food I can't when pregnant like super rare steak, soft cheese and weirdly you can't have truffle when pregnant so I'll be doing some truffle chips tonight! And plenty of wine! Hope you all have a great one!

@CookieMonster3001

After getting faint-medium lines on regular ovulation tests and convincing myself I’d missed it, I ordered the digital ones you said about in prev thread (through amazon prime). They arrived today and say i’m at my peak now (unexpected). So DTD and hoping to do it tomorrow morning too as OH was barely standing to attention when he finished (think it was the pressure!). Just happy to know I am hopefully going to ovulate 🥳.
Thanks for the advice/insight - the digital tests are sooo much better!! xx

What are the OPKs everyone recommends? I think I'll have to use these next month but yes @sunflowersaremyfav93 @mackjm20 sounds like we will be in TWW together although my app says due to ovulate on the 27th. 🤔

@Wowthisisreal clearblue advanced digital is what I used today and was 100% better than trying to work out if lines are as dark as control line. I got faint/medium lines with those cheaper ones this morning then peak result with digital a couple of hours later.

*found the new thread 👍
*hoping baby dust for everyone

Btw I thought the tww was bad enough...

The wait until the ultrasound at 8wks is worse
🥴🥴🥴

@Wowthisisreal deff recommend the Cb as they give a symbol which is handy!

@NewbieB yay congrats on your peak!

@Arrierttyclock thanks- however now I’m worried it was false as read I should use your wee after your longest sleep (i tested pm!). It says it can give high results if not using the right wee! So confused! 🙈

@sunflowersaremyfav93 ah so exciting for you and your first proper cycle :) yesss! Exactly that I love watching it and when they are born I’m so broody but it literally terrifies me. There was one ep where someone haemorrhaged which is what could potentially happen to me with my blood clot and I cried for like half a day after watching it as it was so emotional. Aside from that I do love it though I go through stages of watching it all the time. Luckily at the moment my obsession is more weight loss focused but no doubt when I hit target I’ll be back watching one born :)

@CookieMonster3001 yes that scares me too! I was lucky enough to be at my friends birth two years ago and the things I witnessed honestly made me rethink child birth but I’m telling you the moment she was born was the most beautiful moment of my life :) so I brought a baby grow was so worried to tell dh then he brought one too and showed me to show he was all in on tcc so confessed and now we have these two little baby grows that totally unwanted we had both brought to show how much we want to be parents and I have no regrets :) I don’t think it will jinx anything I think it will be so lovely to show little one one day how much they were loved and wanted before they even existed :) in my way it’s putting into the universe how much we want a baby :) manifesting at its finest :) xx

@Kayeyeem Omgosh that sounds amazing! Are you having Chinese tonight? It’s 8am and I’m already thinking about Chinese haha! Bless you it’s so easy to end up googling isn’t it! What dpo are you?

@Arrierttyclock Omgosh that Valentine’s Day meal sounds Amazing! Enjoy :) my friend who just had her baby said she missed steak most! As who wants a well done steak she said she craved steak to bad but couldn’t bring herself to eat it like that lol!

@gems05 thank you :) oh bless you it seems like ttc and pregnancy is just constant waiting lol! I mean I’m buzzing for the next wait but I’m sure when I eventually get a bfp I’ll be the same like oh gosh not another wait lol :) how are you feeling? Much sickness etc?

Happy galentines day girlsss :) cd26 for me still no ovulation I’m not going to lie the only positive here is not having a tww as my obsession has gone down so much :) impatiently just waiting for af to arrive so I can kick this cycle to the curb :) hope you all have lovely days filled with alcohol, soft cheese, rare steak and all the yummy takeaways your hearts desire :) putting out into the universe for us all to have BFPs or baby’s here by next Valentine’s Day :) xxx

@Potterurotter here is the new thread following my reply on the other post :) xx

@CookieMonster3001 that should have said unprompted not unwanted above** morning brain x

@mackjm20 Yes Chinese tonight as long as they are open! Had a horrible thought they might not be as it's Chinese New Year 😬 I am going to cry if they're shut lol, it's all I've been thinking about 😋
According to my app I'm 5dpo but according to when I had possible ovulation cramps I'm 7dpo. So bit unsure. But for the last few days I've had terrible headaches and I've been soooo cold like nothing I do gets me warm 🥶 and I'm normally very warm blooded, I get very hot normally, everyone in the house is walking around in t-shirts and there's me loads of layers under a blanket 😆 I thought I was coming down with something but I feel fine other than the headache. Dr google says being cold can be a sign of early pregnancy possibly but it's probably too early....?
I need to stop googling! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Happy Valentine's Day everyone ❤️ fingers crossed for us all for some happy, love filled, passionate sex that isn't just about baby making 😉
