@kaylsd Mabel 😩😍❤️

@Lizzie1302 how strange for you! Are your cycles normally quite regular? Hoping it's a great sign and you can find out sooner rather than later 🤞🏻

minthumbugs · 20/03/2021 09:19

@Laurashakey I think I see a line!! On the first one and on the bottom of the cheapies!!

CycloGoose · 20/03/2021 09:20

Gahhhhhhh whoop whoop @laurashakey ✨✨✨✨🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Spring has sprung!

Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 09:26

Oh God I hope this is it now!! I’ll take another first response tonight as my hcg levels tend to go up evening time and one on Monday when my af is due, will keep you all updated!! Xxx

Lizzie1302 · 20/03/2021 09:32

That's amazing @laurashakey!!! ❤️❤️❤️

@cyclogoose you're such an inspiration you seem such a strong woman and so supportive I'm really rooting for you, as you say I feel everyone's emotions! At first I'm ashamed to say I used to be so so so jealous of anybody that got a bfp that wasn't me but now it melts my heart every time hearing about success stories! 8 months in for me and it feels like a life time but there's people who have waited years and years so I believe my time will be when it's meant to be

@minthumbugs I have a had a 27 day cycle for the past 6 months and can guarantee on the 27th day around 1pm-2pm my period will start that's how precise it is! Now this month on the 27th day around 3pm I spotted and thought no I'm out but it was just on 1/2 wipes so waited till next morning, still nothing did 2 pregnancy tests bfn thought it might start through yesterday but nothing and then last night I couldn't stop crying OVER NOTHING I was watching happy feet on Netflix and couldn't stop crying real ugly crying about how he was getting bullied! So really was expecting my period but then this morning still nothing - my OH doesn't understand how 💔 it can be so he just says let's wait it out - - - - I don't think I understand the word wait 😅 but I think the longer it goes the more stressed I will be so if it is AF I don't want to stress myself out more... That's my story anyways

lucea87 · 20/03/2021 09:41

@Laurashakey congrats!!!

Today is a good day as I have also had my BFP!!!! Also really faint but I've done 2 FRER and 3 cheapies and all are positive 😭😭😭

Hi everyone, I came off my pill this week so have just had my withdrawal bleed for #2. For #1 I got pregnant within two months of stopping the pill, so thought I’d stop by here just to feel the positive vibes! I used BBT and OPK to check I had restarted ovulation before so think I will do it again! It’s been four years though so I’ll have to remind myself how and when to do it!

Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 09:44

Thanks all! Hope all is going to be good this time :( I’ve been having watery discharge since yesterday and had a lil pain in my right breast for a few seconds, also my pelvic feels quite heavy like I’m having mild cramps but not sure if they are cramps if that makes sense? Can’t tell haha. Omg congrats @lucea87!!! Well chuffed for you!! How long after ovulation are you? X I’m only 9dpo see so probably if all is going good it’s just started to implant

Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 09:45

Hahha me and DH was meant to have a drink tonight, how do I tell him I don’t want to drink without telling him I might be pregnant 😂 dont want to get his hopes up as of yet. If I tell him I don’t feel like having a drink he will definitely know something is up haha!

minthumbugs · 20/03/2021 09:45

@lucea87 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I had really good feelings for you!!!! Oh my goodness congrats

minthumbugs · 20/03/2021 09:46

Lol @laurashakey tell him you feel a bit sick 🤣 a hint without being a hint

lucea87 · 20/03/2021 09:47

I'm 10dpo today and I think I implanted yesterday from the cramps I had. I've felt sick all week. My boobs have been heavy since 2dpo. Those are my 2 main symptoms but yesterday I had quite bad cramps like AF was coming but it has subsided in the afternoon.

Got everything crossed for you lovely!

minthumbugs · 20/03/2021 09:47

Good luck @awarsewolf 😘

CycloGoose · 20/03/2021 09:49

Oh god @lizzie1302 every time my husband says we'll just have to wait. Waiting is the best thing. Try to take your mind off it... I want to strangle his reasonable little neck 😂😂😂

It's so hard isn't it my lovely. It possibly could have been a really late ovulation bleed? Or implantation bleed? If I've learnt anything it's that our bodies like to screw with us whenever we start to think we know what's going on! We started trying in August so 7/8 months here but I don't think I started going properly mental until January!

We'll be here for you for the ride! Everyone has such a different journey don't they and it just isn't well enough known about. It's not talked about enough in society. It's all hidden away like we're still in Victorian Britain where we must only speak of polite topics in society. It really gets my goat.

Sending love xxx

kaylsd · 20/03/2021 09:51

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd you're such a good thread momma looking out for us all. We love you XXX I can't quite keep on top of it all at the moment. I'm trying to be on my phone less but then I feel rude if I don't reply to everyone!

I hope everyone knows they're in my heart even if I don't write back specifically! I can't remember who said it but I feel everyone's ups and downs too and in so excited and hurt and hopeful for all of you dependent on the circumstances.

I'd contact gp this time if you haven't been lucky. Tell them it's really stressing you out, making you anxious. Ham it up a bit. Mine said they wouldn't hold me to 12 months exactly but I am a fair few clicks older than you!

Enjoy the shopping! Did you ever get a houseplant? Tesco has some lovely things in at the moment -spider plants for £2.50! I'm no good at gardening either and I missed that on @Slinks8113 post. I'm hoping that it's something I can learn about when I'm on maternity leave. I've got big ideas! I want to have a veggie trough to teach a little bubs about where food comes from 🥰

Mabel is just a delight. I've got my borrow my doggy Buddy boi coming to see me and I couldn't be more excited. He's a smallish golden doodle and we're bffs. Seriously, his owners can't get over it 🤣🤣🤣

My temps are trash so I can't help there I'm afraid. I'm not sure about the CB to be honest. I didn't like them I don't think. The flashing smiley gave me the heeby-jeebies. Though I suppose I got a positive test this month but I literally did so much different it's hard to tell what was the key. I spent so much money on new toys when I got my 'period' though so at least, if this is all pretend, I will get to make use of those!

Still positive here but still spotting. I'm trying not to get excited but I'm starting to see a glimmer of hope. Surely 9 days after a bleed I wouldn't still be getting + results if it's MC? Not when it's such early days.

TBF I'm realising how lucky I am with my GP. I picked them especially because my local one with spaces have the worst reviews so I go to the next town and I think they're incredible. Except they didn't give me my jab when they should've because I was hospitalised with my asthma.[/quote]
@cyclogoose awww bless you you know I'm here for you all regardless of what happens within our journies! I can only imagine the thoughts and emotions your probably going through right now so it's totally understandable if you want time out until you understand your situation to what's going off but just know that we are all here and by yourside for it :)

I'm tempted after this month to contact them even if they just check my thyroid to rule out anything (although I've had this checked last year and I was absolutely fine) I had a USS back in 2019 both abdo & trans and that was absolutely fine too so I don't think I have anything like PCOS but it'll be nice to see if Ive got anything under lying if they can review this sooner than waiting a year, with me being a community nurse at the moment I work alongside my GP practice quite a lot and I don't have a lot of confidence in them if I'm honest which is never the best start but I guess there's no harm in trying 🙈

I've just messaged hubs for when he finishes to work does he fancy a trip to Tesco for Sunday roast ingredients (we normally shop Asda as it's closest to us) but secretly I just wanna see the plants and probably by some more house plants evil laugh 😏😆😆😆😆 I love the thought of having a little green house with home grown veg for when I have a little one, I used to love going into my grandads greenhouse when I was little, he used to grow the biggest tomato plants ever :')

I would take things in a positive manor at the moment if you can (I know it might be hard not to get your hopes up right now, but I've got everything crossed for you) have you repeated your CBD to see if the weeks have changed as your levels will be doubling if there's a pregnancy so your weeks should be like increasing?

Hope you have a lovely weekend sweetheart try not to worry too much into things, have a relaxing weekend post working week! Maybe a pamper night tonight to relax maybe some facemasks or go to the extreme of get some sea waves noise on YouTube or your Alexa if you have one and imagine your on a beach (I'd try and do the same but I can't help but hear neighbours drilling & swearing on driveway and it's raining so it's not setting the right scene for me 😂😂😂)

Lizzie1302 · 20/03/2021 09:52

Amazingggg spring is here👣👣👣

kaylsd · 20/03/2021 09:52

@Laurashakey

Today is a good day as I have also had my BFP!!!! Also really faint but I've done 2 FRER and 3 cheapies and all are positive 😭😭😭[/quote]
Omg the gang has some more graduates I could cry!!!! Congratulations 🎉 😘🥰🌈 I am so happy for you it's unreal!!!!!!! Xxxxxx

CycloGoose · 20/03/2021 09:54

My darling @lucea87 I'm unbelievably excited for you and I'm just 😭😭😭😭🎉🎉🎉🎉💖💖💖💖🤸🤸🤸🤸🤢🤢🤢🤢 for us 🤣🤣🤣🤣

For the newbs, this thread is magic and after about 4 weeks of back and forth posting, Lucea87 and I discovered we're actually long lost school friends and possibly both got our BFPs this week though mine is up in the air and all early days.

It's the maddest of mad cosmic coincidences!

Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 09:55

Hahaha I might have to tell him that! Guarantee there will be a hint such as ‘maybe you’re pregnant’ 😂

Ah yes they are definitely symptoms! Are you going to tell your DH today? 😄 the way my puppy is being with me as well, hahah she must sense something is up, pic for attention 😍 I haven’t had much symptoms really apart from a sharp pain on my right side for a few mins 2 days ago, and now the watery discharge came along! With my baby boy angel I’ve been feeling symptoms pretty much frim day 2 past ovulation. Kept on weeing, had hot flushes, was dizzy, moody, bloated, side boob pain.

CycloGoose · 20/03/2021 09:57

@Laurashakey I'd tell and invite him in and share with him. I think the chaps deserve to be in for the ride. It shouldn't rest all on our shoulders even if they do have the emotional capacity of a walnut at times 🤣🤣

Small1607 · 20/03/2021 09:57

Hi ladies can I join 😁 I'm 3 DPO, this is my third month of OPKs as a year of no contraception/following my app alone was unsuccessful. Congrats to those I've just seen who have BFP, let's hope for many more in the next couple of weeks 🤞🤞🤞

I told my oh, he text to ask if he was ok and I asked him to come down, he cried too which I wasn't expecting as I thought he was going to be terrified. He won't let himself get excited yet though and I feel the same but also secretly just ecstatic. In my head I never thought I would get this ❤️
Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 10:02

@CycloGoose hahahah actually not a bad idea😂 might ask him to sign up on here and ask you lot to just post congratulations, would be a good idea the way he’d find out 😂😄 I am bilingual was thinking might just put on a piece of paper ‘bedziesz ojcem’ which means you are going to be a father in Polish and ask him to google translate it. 😄 but that’s if I don’t come on

Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 10:05

@lucea87 omg that’s amazing!🥺 you know men are very happy when they cry with happiness❤️ I think you are only one day before me as well😄
