Thank you for the advice ladies I'm not going to do another ov test and just keep on getting busy and hope for the best 🤞🤞🤞

HRP1990 · 03/07/2021 09:33

@Peachycream exactly haha I only want to know what the future holds if it’s good for me 😂

Peachycream · 03/07/2021 10:14

@HRP1990 😂 I totally get that feeling!

KayL1988 · 03/07/2021 11:23

Morning all!! Hope you are all having a nice start to your weekend?!

@HRP1990 your chart looks good! I don't think everyone necessarily gets an implantation dip, I looked it up to see if I should be looking for one or not! I know what you mean about seeing a temp drop before 🧙‍♀️arrives! One plus is that you can get some sushi and wine planned if she is on her way.

HRP1990 · 03/07/2021 11:42

Thanks @KayL1988! All the charts I’ve seen do look like they have a dip, however I’ve read lots that say a lot of pregnancies don’t have the dip. So we’ll see!

🧙🏻‍♀️ Should be 10th July as I have an 11 day luteal phase.. so I’ll get that wine and sushi ready for next weekend if my temp starts to drop 😬😒

MrsEll22 · 03/07/2021 12:11

What exactly happens after fertilisation, having sex a day to ovulation do you still have ovulation cramps if fertilisation has occurred ?

Peachycream · 03/07/2021 12:16

@MrsEll22 there’s no way to know if fertilisation has occurred or not I’m afraid

Peachycream · 03/07/2021 12:18

Unless you mean implantation, then maybe you’d get cramps, maybe you wouldn’t. From what I understand most of the evidence of implantation cramping is anecdotal

KayL1988 · 03/07/2021 12:32

Fingers crossed it doesn't @HRP1990 and if it does... sushi and wine!! I'm slowly making my way through all the alcoholic free drinks options to find a wine replacement for a special drink!

PurpleCat88 · 03/07/2021 12:40

@KayL1988 - let me know if you find any! I’ve tried the freixinet (sp?) Prosecco but it was way too sweet!

PurpleCat88 · 03/07/2021 12:44

Also - Hi everyone! I’m still reading everything and keeping up with you all 👋👋

Too scared to join the pregnancy boards at the moment 😬

HRP1990 · 03/07/2021 12:59

Hey @PurpleCat88 👋 any symptoms for you or @KayL1988 or is it all plain sailing at the moment?

Don’t worry I’ll drink all the wine and eat all the sushi for you 😜

Peachycream · 03/07/2021 13:02

Can I join your wine part @HRP1990? I could use a drink or 600 right now

HRP1990 · 03/07/2021 13:10

@Peachycream

Can I join your wine part *@HRP1990*? I could use a drink or 600 right now
Of course @Peachycream! You bring the cheese I bring the wine, you know how it works 🧀🍷
Peachycream · 03/07/2021 13:26

I will bring the biggest most varied cheese spread you have ever seen in your life 😂 @HRP1990

PurpleCat88 · 03/07/2021 13:28

@HRP1990 not many symptoms yet, just slightly achey boobs at the sides. I kinda want some symptoms just so I know somethings happening I. there! Bet I regret that statement in a couple of weeks!

HRP1990 · 03/07/2021 13:32

Plenty of feta please 😂 @Peachycream do I have the feeling that you need to vent?

@KayL1988 I think we always want what we don’t have don’t we? I bet if you had morning sickness you’d be wishing you had no symptoms 😂

What happens now? Do you see the gp? Early scan? Or just sit and wait until 12 weeks? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Peachycream · 03/07/2021 13:42

I can do that @HRP1990 if I vented you’d need to take a few days off work just to read the post 😂

@PurpleCat88 no symptoms isn’t a bad thing! Don’t be wishing you get any too soon 😂

It’s the sickness that freaks me out, I’m emetaphobic so the whole idea of morning sickness causes me more anxiety than I can even explain

KayL1988 · 03/07/2021 13:44

My other half just offered me some deli meat 🤨 I need to give him a list of things to stop offering me!

I've had a few symptoms but no sickness or anything. They seem to come and go I've been really really thirsty and really tired a few days, and occasionally I feel like a stretching feeling which is weird as I've never felt anything like that before.

The gp has logged it and then sent me details for midwife and some vitamin diet advice etc, so (all being good) I'll be in touch with them for first appointment about wk 8. It feels like such a weird few weeks, glasspaw is right... because it's clearly the riskiest few weeks so they leave it till your risk rating has gone right down before seeing you... so weird!

HRP1990 · 03/07/2021 13:47

Sorry @PurpleCat88 I meant you tag you earlier!

HRP1990 · 03/07/2021 13:50

@KayL1988 I think the stretching feeling is literally everything stretching inside lol or so I’ve read!

I get why they make you wait, however it’s such a vulnerable time! You’d think they’d want to give you the reassurance/guidance/whatever it is you need in those first few weeks?

@Peachycream well I’m happy to have my ear chewed off if you need it!

Mrsspoon3 · 03/07/2021 13:53

@Sparklingwine1 my temperature changes are quite similar to yours if I get up for a wee a few hours earlier, but they seem to be quite consistent if taken at the same time each morning (even if I’ve been up for a wee 2 or 3 hours earlier). I’d go for the 7.30 one if that’s the time your normally take it!

@HRP1990 I’ll tell you something ridiculous - I actually did a test this morning even though there’s no chance it would show up as positive just yet! 😂 Since my chemical in May I promised myself I wouldn’t test early again and I didn’t test at all the next month, but I was too tempted today as I bought loads of cheap tests the other week, and also I’m been having loads of discharge (sorry TMI) which I also had the month I tested positive and had my chemical, so it got my hopes up. I think in a weird way I tested to know that I wasn’t pregnant (even though it’s too early to know) so I didn’t get my hopes up and end up disappointed! Trying not to test now though until/if I’m late!
How about you?

Peachycream · 03/07/2021 14:46

I’m okay @HRP1990 I’m just having an early onset midlife crisis I think 😂 nothing seems to be coming up peachy……and hasn’t for a few years haha

glasspaw · 03/07/2021 16:06

@KayL1988 the stretching cramps are so odd. I also found my skin has started to get really itchy on my stomach and boobs so I’ve had to moisturise every day to stop it from being unbearable. Feels a bit early for that but looking online some people do seem to be particularly sensitive to it!

I’m having a very tired day today. Heading into week 8 tomorrow and this is the most exhausted I’ve felt so far. I have my booking in appointment with the midwife this week. Partner isn’t allowed to come in cause of Covid :( feels so sad that he can’t be there.

SkeletonSkins · 03/07/2021 16:34

@Peachycream thank you for your combined good luck and congratulations, I’m glad it’s over as it was the final assessment in a three year qualification and means I can now look forward to the future!

Busy day for me, been for a nice walk and then tackled the weeds in the front garden, babysitting my friends two children tonight so maybe I’ll regret TTC after that 😂😂
