Hi!

I have been TTC this month. I got a flashing smiley face on the clearblue OPKS this morning so all is looking good! I would love to talk to anyone else who is also TTC this month... I am currently driving my husband mad as it's all I can talk about. 😊

Awww amazing @wannabeamummysobad. Congratulations. Delighted for you. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy xx

QueenLagertha · 16/08/2021 06:58

Ps @wannabeamummysobad you mentioned you RHR. If you have a chart would you mind posting it?

wannabeamummysobad · 16/08/2021 07:27

@QueenLagertha I was only charting using my Fitbit sense. I've attached the last months HR in the form it gives.
I'm fairly active and pre TTC I'd average a RHR of 53bpm (l joke I'm an athlete) but my average is now 57bpm.

If I get a moment today I could do one in excel so you can see a few cycles.

Key dates
28 July- started last period (30th July finished, 3days)

1st August- high on CB OPK
4th August- peak on CB OPK

@QueenLagertha thank you so much! It's a long ways to go but we are so happy!!

Just realised we only got married 5 weeks ago. So much is happening and I feel truly blessed x

wannabeamummysobad · 16/08/2021 07:30

@QueenLagertha congratulations!!!!!!!

I guess, this really is a lucky group. 🤞🏼🤞🏼to sticky beans and bring on April 2022 x

QueenLagertha · 16/08/2021 07:35

Awww lovely 🥰 we conceived DS within weeks of getting married too. If this one sticks it will be due on DHs birthday 30th April.
I'm getting ahead of myself! Afraid to get excited yet.
I feel a bit off since yesterday. And hardly
slept the past two nights as my heart feels like it's racing. This is my Fitbit chart. Def something it it.

That's so sweet that it's on DH birthday time.

Our baby is predicted 26th April 2022. Our wedding was initially booked 24th April 2021 so we'll 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 have a baby on our (could have been) wedding anniversary.

I'm sooo happy!

QueenLagertha · 16/08/2021 07:47

@wannabeamummysobad so exciting 🥰 I bet your DH is over the moon too.
Dont know how I'm going to concentrate today at work.
DS was an April baby too. There'll be a 4 year gap if all works out 🤞🏼

Hoping for some more BFPs on this thread 🙏🏻

@wannabeamummysobad congratulations!!!!!!!!!! That's fantastic news!!!!! I was thinking of you this morning!!!!!!!!!!! So pleased for you and great you got a non ambiguous test!!!!!!! ❤️

wannabeamummysobad · 16/08/2021 08:12

@newtolineofduty thank you! I was so fretting about doing it and had geared myself to be disappointed. When I realised I could see the line without my glasses I was so happy. Keeping everything crossed the little one sticks.

Keeping everything crossed for you too x

newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 08:16

Did you stare at it waiting for the result for 3 mins @wannabeamummysobad!?

After I'd posted I realised I'd missed your last sentence about telling us before DH! That's brill! 😂😂😂

Itsjustme20 · 16/08/2021 08:35

@wannabeamummysobad Eeeee! Congratulations!! Xx

wannabeamummysobad · 16/08/2021 08:35

I was too scared to - I set a 5second timer to hold the test in my FMU and a 3min timer to wait. I started looking but as it's my first time POAS I was get so stressed so kept shifting between the stick and my phone.

Absolutely nerve racking.

Honestly, it made sense to tell you first. DH was asleep- I woke him up by showing the stick. He responded "wow, I can see it without my glasses on🤣" . He's now reading up on what I can and can't eat/drink and buying books so he can best support me.

When will I feel calm? I guess I should tell myGP? I need to do some research too I guess 🤣🤣🥰 x

Itsjustme20 · 16/08/2021 08:36

@QueenLagertha Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉

newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 09:00

First thing I did @wannabeamummysobad was book in a private viability scan for 7 weeks! X

MrsRosaline · 16/08/2021 09:05

Omg congratulations @QueenLagertha and @wannabeamummysobad !!! I haven't tested yet, and i have already been to the toilet this morning so was going to do it tomorrow morning! You guys are making me wanna do it! I'm 11DPO.

newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 09:33

@QueenLagertha I've just realised I TOTALLY missed your post!!!! Congratulations! How exciting!!!!!! Hopefully this is a lucky month! X

wannabeamummysobad · 16/08/2021 09:39

@newtolineofduty thanks for that. I'll look to book one in as well. Given me and 🍷 are besties when I show up not drinking everyone will guess i am pregnant so doing a viability scan will put me at ease.

@MrsRosaline, hold your nerve. Will you test tomorrow or Wednesday?

This is so exciting 💕💕

newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 09:52

@wannabeamummysobad @MrsRosaline I think if I had some frers in I'd be tempted to test tonight but I only have clear blue ones. I don't really want to use those ones though and Amazon frers wouldn't come until Thursday! X

MrsRosaline · 16/08/2021 10:02

@newtolineofduty you could always go to the shop... I do have some FRERS but think I'll wait until tomorrow morning. The thing that's held me off testing is the disappointment factor!

OP posts:
wannabeamummysobad · 16/08/2021 10:06

@MrsRosaline @newtolineofduty I completely understand how you feel- I was the same tbh.

I picked up FRER pack of 2 in between house viewing on Saturday.

Keeping everything crossed for you both x

QueenLagertha · 16/08/2021 10:07

Thanks everyone. I can't quite believe it yet. Have ordered more FRERs from Amazon to make sure line darkens over next few days.
I'm starting to feel rough already though. I forgot how sick I felt throughout first trimester last time. It started this early too.

Can't wait for you all to test. Baby dust to all xx

QueenLagertha · 16/08/2021 10:08

My FRERs are coming tomorrow from Amazon. I'm in NI though

Aims1991 · 16/08/2021 11:41

@wannabeamummysobad congrats 😊 I'm now 10dpo and got some lower pains which I normally get for AF but had a few days last week so not sure when to test🤷🏻‍♀️
