Tell me you can also see the line.

Can't believe I see this and I was not imagining my symptom.

But slightly worried as I have light cramping in my lower abdominal, I had this last time ended up in chemical pregnancy. Hope this is normal and no reason to panic.

@velam omg 100% a line!! So pleased for you!! What is a chemical and i hope it’s not!! X

@NewbieB Thank you. When you loose the pregnancy close after implementation 5 weeks pregnant. Yeah me too, been waiting for this for so long.

Keep us posted when you test xxx

@velam can deff see a line!! Congratulations!!! How many dpo are you?xx

@velam oh I see. Horrible.

But guessing no reason to think this will be the same? How exciting 🥳🥳.

Def looks like a positive @velam, congratulations!

@CookieMonster3001 excited for you!!

@Arrierttyclock thank you so much! 11dpo xx

@NewbieB I hope not, I have light cramping in my lower ab, gp said it's normal. I hope this one sticks, so excited. xx

@sunflowersaremyfav93 thanks, it's good you all see it too xx

Hey ladies - I have a question

So this cycle was an odd one for me, it came on time and was normal length but I was really light. One of the things with didelphic uterus is I always lose loads of lining, I often have large clots come out (I feel we're past having to say TMI now lol) anyway this cycle was so light I have no clots come out?

Today I've had some cramps felt like ovulation type cramps but it can't be because I literally just finished my period. Did an OPK and added the photo to PreMom which gave me a rating of 0.24 which is low but I was looking at December where I tracked OPK and I was 0.27 day before peak (image attached) do you think my peak is just going to come early this month? I'll keep tracking I'll try do another one before bed.

I have three diff apps that I use, no idea why, and they're all telling me my FW starts on diff days. Flo says Sunday, Ovia says Saturday and PreMom says Friday. I guess the best thing to do is DTD regularly and just make sure there's plenty of sperm up there.

Just wondered if you guys had anything similar before and what you think best thing to do is?

@velam congratulations!! Definitely a line. Wishing you a healthy and happy nine months.

@CookieMonster3001 your signs and symptoms all sounds very positive. Best of luck to you over the coming days...x

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I have 2 tracking apps on my phone and both had a different ovulation day. I had my tracker and flo. As I mentioned above I was using clearblue digital ovulation sticks and had nothing up to yesterday which was cycle day 17. I didnt test today as was out during the middle of the day and this evening I have lots of EWCM so I'm wondering now would i finally be ovulating! We DTD last night in the middle of the night and I wont lie I don't feel like doing it tonight. I'm wrecked and a bit sore as we have been DTD every second day for the last 10 days...and I don't feel like it tonight but might have to suck it up!!! And advice?

@velam Welcome and congratulations 🎉 I cramped a lot through both my previous pregnancies so I'd say the cramps were normal.
@CookieMonster3001 symptoms sound good 🙂

Well I got my Chinese last night...but the Chinese made a mistake and gave me a slightly different meal 😩 I was too hungry to take it back. Good job it still tasted good and DH has promised me another for my birthday in a couple of weeks lol.
On a positive note I lost 5lbs this week! 10lbs since January 🙌
6DPO (or potentially 8DPO if my cramps were actually ovulation) and not really feeling much of anything 😒

@princesscallie gosh I need to be like you! 😂 just go for it though, you'll wish you did in a few days. Maybe get some a perm friendly lube as well to help?
Tips on keeping it fun and not all about baby making though, you seem to have it down to a T!

@sunflowersaremyfav93

Haha I don't know about keeping it fun. I have to say I am finding it a bit of a chore this time round. We'd usually DTD 2 to 3 times a week depending on the mood but since we decided to go again it has been more of an effort! More of a means to an end... and this is only officially month one!!! I might give it a go tonight and leave it then for this this month as I'm now on cycle day 18 so if I did ovulate I'm sure it's happened by now...no more peeing on ovulation sticks either this month!!! Enough is enough...but how I kept it fun the last time was dressing up, doing it at random times of the day, waiting for him in bed when he got home from work. Its alot harder now as we have a 7 and a 5 year old.

@velam ahh congratulations that's a very clear positive!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I am already getting itchy feet to test! Lol.. I have a pack of 20 cheapie tests and tempted to do one tomorrow morning! It sounds like you could if your experiencing the pains, I would keep OPK testing (Maybe twice a day to make sure you catch it?) and just keep BDing every other day so that your covered just incase!

@princesscallie thank you!! Concieve plus has been my saviour during TTC as sometimes you just need to get it done and the lube is sperm friendly so helps get things going! And I don't know if its a coincidence, but the first month that I used it, I fell pregnant

@Kayeyeem ooo another Chinese!! Sounds like yours was good but even better you get another soon! And well done on your 5lb loss that's incredible!!! Despite my long list of apparent symptoms I listed yesterday, this month I feel very little compared to normal TWWs! at 6DPO you wont have even implanted yet so no HCG to give you symptoms anyway! (I can talk..Im just as bad haha)

Same blood taste in my mouth this morning, went away after a cup of coffee. Did check my gums and defo no bleeding so god knows what that is!

Last day at work then I am off for 5 days!! Yipee!! I got my next assignment due in on Thursday so need to get cracking with that. Defo helping me take my mind off things! Then both me and OH have Friday off so planning on having a nice relaxing day (that will be decided based on the test in the morning lol)

@princesscallie thank you

@Kayeyeem thank you , it's so reassuring to hear that you had the same I got a bit worried. Hopefully this month you will get BFP.

@CookieMonster3001 you're good for holding out and waiting to test! The symptoms are sounding good though, please let us know as soon as you test. I'm excited for you!
I've just booked myself a week off w/c 15 March, we can only book that early in advance so it ends up being the week after I'd have done a test so hopefully I spend my week happy and not sad that AF arrived.
I'm going to keep on with the OPKs because I have a feeling I'll be ovulating earlier than usual. We DTD last night so will plan to do it again tomorrow or day after depending on what the OPKs are saying.

@princesscallie I'm trying with the dressing up nicely as well it just feels so planned now, I guess that's part of it?!

@CookieMonster3001 forgot to say - I've just ordered myself some fluffy socks and I've already stocked up on pomegranate juice ready for next week lol!
I'll be keeping myself warm and using my hot water bottle but I did read that it's bad to overheat the uterus... am I ok putting a hot water bottle on my stomach do you think?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I'm so glad to read that because i have a hot water bottle constantly. Because I have IBS it's the only thing that helps the pain and now I'm just addicted. They even come on holiday with me!

I'm worrying about my luteal phase atm. I got my peak on Sunday and I'm due in on Tuesday which is only a 9 day luteal phase 🤦🏽‍♀️

@CookieMonster3001 all sounds very promising! Got my fingers crossed for you xx

@sunflowersaremyfav93 @Arrierttyclock me too! Sat here now with one. I was also reading today (because I can’t help googling stuff like “what not to do in TWW) and I’m right at the start of it. I also read not to have excess heat on uterus. I’ve moved it to my feet but love the feel on my tummy

@NewbieB ah great I've probably fried all my bloody eggs now then 😂🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I don't even use a cover so god knows the damage I've done

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yay for fluffy socks!! I am the same, I always have a hot water bottle with me!! I do keep it on my back and avoid using it on my stomach, I am way too paranoid!! I think as long as your bottle isn't SUPER hot then it should be OK, I tend to use it on my upper back when its freshly made (or my legs) and then when its cooled down a bit, Ill pop it on my tummy to warm me up.

@Arrierttyclock hopefully your due date will be pushed back because you ovulated a bit later? There is a lot of conflicting info about hot water bottles to be honest, some say that your inner core temperature never really changes and is pretty stable so a hot water bottle shouldn't in theory make too much difference, I just avoid it now just to be on the safe side!

@CookieMonster3001 Ooh good luck with the test tomorrow 🤞🏼
@velam I remember being concerned with every little twinge in the very early stages but you have to trust your body knows what it's doing 🙂 Thank you 😊
@Arrierttyclock I wouldn't worry too much about the hot water bottle, although getting a cover might not be a bad move just in case, but I used to sit in the hottest bath I could handle and still managed to get pregnant twice 🤣

I'm not sure what's the matter with me but the last 2 days I've been so sensitive any little thing sets me off crying and I'm not normally a crier lol. This morning I've teared up/cried 3 times and all I was doing was listening to the radio 🙈 I'm not particularly sad or stressed, in fact I'm having a good day so who knows 😆

@Kayeyeem that is so true and empowering, thank you needed to hear that

Really interesting about the hot water bottle and glad I know that before my FW, I will keep it under my feet or behind my back. I'm the same as @Kayeyeem I like my baths and showers to be really hot.. every time I get out the shower my body is red my OH thinks I'm crazy. Will need to stop that though, can't do that when I'm pregnant.

Happy pancake day ladies!!
