So sorry to hear that @SareBear87. Sending hugs. Hope you’re ok xx I’ve had a CP too and know how hard it is. Must be doubly hard too when it’s messed up your ovulation. Hope things get back on track for you soon.

@Sparklingwine1 keeping my fingers crossed for you this cycle!

@KayL1988 how did your scan go? Did you say you were getting it the weekend just gone?

@Mrsspoon3 it was indeed! It went well ☺️ got to see a healthy little bean and heartbeat which was very emotional.

Morning girls!

Thanks for the reassurance, it doesn’t feel real yet and I feel like I’ll jinx myself if I talk about it! But all okay so far 🤞

@KayL1988 I’m so happy to hear that 🥰🥰

@Sparklingwine1 11DPO could potentially be implantation so I’d be interested to see if 🧙🏻‍♀️ does turn up for you!

@SkeletonSkins how are you feeling this morning? Have you thought about ditching everything this month or are you going to see it through?

@SareBear87 I’m glad you’re still here Sare, please do vent away that’s what we are all here for! Thinking of you

Hi ladies,

Sorry to not reply to the messages but has anyone heard from or seen Danni? I can’t tag her because it’s gone from my list but wasn’t her mum really poorly in hospital with Covid before she disappeared?

@KayL1988 I’m glad your scan went well and you got to see the bits you needed to. Must be such a lovely experience 🥰

But to both of you @HRP1990 I’m sure no one thinks you’re being insensitive and every will be looking forward to hear the updates of your journey. I’ve been keeping an eye in here and over on the pregnancy boards incase you had all started your own little group over there but I couldn’t find one yet. I for one am living vicariously through you all so please keep us updated.

@SareBear87 I’m sorry everything has all gone off for you but hopefully everything will go back to normal soon, it’s a lot for your body to process so try and keep calm while it does it’s thing 🥰

Hey @Peachycream 🥰
I haven’t heard from Danni but I was thinking about her the other day actually. I’m sure we can find her @ in the previous thread and find out.

There will never be another group you know that 😜 but in all seriousness I haven’t joined a pregnancy thread yet. I’m 5 weeks today so I probably should, but for now I’m lurking. It does feel quiet lonely so I’ll probably join soon or tell a friend x

@HRP1990 she is tagged in this one, I went back and checked and I tagged her in the first post but I don’t remember ever seeing her in here? Maybe she’s deleted her account if I can’t find her tag now?

Stay where ever you feel most comfortable for now lovely, I imagine it is quite lonely but you have 3/4 girls in here as well so chat away! The thread seems to have gone super quiet!

@KayL1988 Ooh how exciting!! So glad all went well! That must have been so lovely for you both! 😊 I’ve got mine booked for next Friday, all being well for then. I’m a bit scared! Hope it will all go ok and can then relax a lot more.

@HRP1990 I haven’t joined one yet either as I’m a bit scared still. Might wait until after my scan next week! I’m 5 weeks 4 days today so our dates are super close!

@HRP1990 I’ve ditched the OPKs, carrying on temping just so I know if or when to expect AF really, but taking it easy and trying to just relax the next few weeks. If I’ve not got AF by sept I’ll speak to my doctor I think.

Aw @Mrsspoon3 we’re so close!! Do you have any symptoms yet? I’ve booked a scan for 8 weeks just for reassurance as I think you can see quite abit then 🤞

@SkeletonSkins I think I’d do the same, the OPKs are just not reliable at all and in turn it gets you stressed! If you did ovulate on your last dip/peak when would AF be?

Thanks @Peachycream 🥰 it’s such lovely weather at the moment I’m trying to keep off my phone and get out and about, that and a BFP is why I’ve been alittle quiet x

Got my highest post O BBT jump yet! I usually don't climb up to this temp until I'm 8 or 9 DPO.
It might be the heatwave (although we sleep in an air conditioned bedroom), guess I'll just have to wait to find out if it's a good sign or not.

This cycle is my last before I make a drs appt (being 35 I only have to wait 6 months). Though I have an endocrinologist and he said my hormones looked fine a few weeks ago.

That's a wonderful chart @Lalala1985
Fingers crossed for you this month. Looks like you're in with a good chance!

@Peachycream I can tag her. But only after I went to the first post where you tagged her initially and clicked on here '@' link. Then when after that it lets me tag her. Not sure if that helps 😊

Sorry @SkeletonSkins I didn't realise you were waiting for the 🧙🏼‍♀️I think it's a good idea to ditch the OPKs. I don't think I'll be using them next month as I'm visiting family during my FW and really don't want to have to take my pee cup! also the fact I never get a huge mountain 🏔 and just get an ant hill with my LH peaks is starting to bug me. My husband said that women comparing OPK peaks is the equivalent of men comparing their .. erm.. man bits 😂😂 and I'm the man with the very small sausage.

BFN for me this morning and ive been sooo crampy the past 24 hours so I think AF is on the way.

@KayL1988 lovely to see you had a scan and saw the little heartbeat, so exciting for you ❤

@SareBear87 this group is for venting as much as you need 💜 hopefully everything gets back to normal for you soon.

@Peachycream nice to see your posts again, hope you're alright after what I read about your ex :-( 😞 sending lots of love 💘

How are you guys @HRP1990 and @Mrsspoon3 ?

X x x

@HRP1990 I have the skin of a 2 day old baby and if I so much as look at the sun, poof! Sunburn! So I am mostly hiding 😂 hot weather has never really been my bag, if it’s too cold you can always put on more clothes but when it’s too hot there’s only so far you can get before you just have to put up with cleavage sweat!

@Sparklingwine1 well that’s good to know, I might pop her a little tag later or something? See if we can find out how she is.

@Aries491 thanks lovely 🥰 ahhhh I’ve got a lot going on right now. It’ll all work out how it’s supposed to in the end I suppose. No idea what he’s up to though and that’s probably for the best 😊

That sounds good that you’re going to take things easy and try and relax @SkeletonSkins, as it must get quite frustrating. That definitely sounds a good idea to speak to the doctor if needed and hopefully they can give you something to help with ovulation. Hope you’re doing ok!

No no symptoms at all @HRP1990!! I’m very tired and bloated if that counts, but otherwise nothing! I’m desperate for something, would actually love to be throwing up haha, just so I have something to show baby is actually there! I’ve tested every single day for 15 days (sometimes twice a day) just to confirm to myself I am actually pregnant! I got a 3+ on the clearblue digital at exactly 5 weeks so that was reassuring, but would love some symptoms. How about you? Feel free to tell me you have all the symptoms by the way haha, I know everyone is different so it won’t make me feel bad! 😊 Also I’m impressed with your self restraint waiting for 8 weeks for the scan! I was desperate to have one this week at 6 weeks, but I read it was better to do week 7, but that’s the latest I could manage! 😂

Your chart looks great @Lalala1985!

@Sparklingwine1 The man with the small sausage made me laugh 😂 Do you have tests that actually give you your LH levels in numbers, or are you just going on the darkness of the lines? I’m intrigued as had no idea on my LH levels!

I’m good thanks @Aries491! 😊 Anxious as ever but trying to take it one day at a time! How are you getting on?

@Peachycream the best way not to know although with socials it's so hard not to check I used to be awful for it! Hopefully you can keep yourself occupied and try not to think on it too much. Easier said than done I know so here for a chat or rant or whatever 💜💜

Glad to hear you're good @Mrsspoon3 I reckon the anxiety is 100% normal and i would be the same in your position, hopefully soon you can relax and start to enjoy it 😊 I am good thanks, currently in the TWW although not been tracking so guesstimate is 5-8 DPO going off apps and last months peak opk on CD20. Luckily have been really busy and still busy so will try and forget until next week, AF due around 27th :) not noticed any symptoms apart from bloated and diarrhea (sorry tmi!!!!) yesterday but who knows! Xx

@Aries491 you’ve got some will power! I thought about not tracking but I couldn’t do it 😂 are you going to test for leave it up to 🧙🏻‍♀️ or a missed 🧙🏻‍♀️ to test?

@Peachycream I’m the opposite 😂 I just have to look at the sun and I’m tanned. It’s true though there’s nothing worse that sweating.. from just about everywhere haha.

@Mrsspoon3 that’s so exciting! I got a 2-3 weeks about a week ago so I’m going to use the other to hopefully get a 3+ aswell! I know what you mean about symptoms, mine come and go. I’m very gassy (burping after a glass of water 😂😳) cramps every so often, but just dull aches. Boobs hurt until yesterday! From what I read they come and go?

Lol I know I’m restraining myself with an 8 week scan.. I know I’d like 1 before 12 weeks so I’m hoping the longer I wait the more I see and the more monies worth 😂

I told a friend today which was nice to be able to chat to her about everything and my worries ❤️

@Mrsspoon3 @HRP1990 I’m still testing 3x a week on cheapies and I’m in week 10 now 🤣 won’t believe it’s real until I get a scan.

Just caught up on this thread. Took a few days away as time feels like it’s going so slowly in the run up to our first scan at the weekend and I thought maybe if I stopped reading about other peoples pregnancies/symptoms/appointments then it might make time speed up…..it didn’t, so I’m back!

The weather has been outrageous. Heat + constant nausea is a horrible combo.

@Aries491 Thanks! 😊 Yeah hoping I’ll be able to relax soon! You sound quite nice and chilled about things! 😊 I’ve never been good at distracting myself during the 2WW! That’s good you’ve got things to take your mind off it. Hope you get good news next week!!

@HRP1990 That’s great you had a 2-3 weeks a week ago! It’s so exciting getting it on the digital ones isn’t it haha. Yeah I read symptoms can come and go, which I hadn’t realised. Sounds like it’s going well! 😊 Yeah it looks like you can see more at 8 weeks, so definitely get more for your money haha.
Ah that’s so nice you told a friend! 😊 Were they really excited for you? It’s good you had someone to talk to about your worries too. It definitely helps to have someone to chat about it too!

@glasspaw

glasspaw Good to know it’s not just me doing constant testing haha 😂 How are you getting on? That’s exciting you’ve got your first scan this weekend! 😊 Is that your NHS one?

Haha @HRP1990 not sure if it's willpower or the fact I've had a lot on...I imagine if it were any other month I might be symptom spotting! I think i will really try to wait for the 🧙‍♀️ to hopefully not show :) lovely you've been able to tell a friend 😊

Thanks @Mrsspoon3 😊 I think it's just timing with what I have had on. Fingers crossed indeed for good news! 👍

Does anyone else hate it when you go to your car, realise you forgot half your shit and then have to go all the way back home 😫

@Mrsspoon3 no this is a private one that we booked. Nhs one is a few weeks away still :)

@glasspaw wow that’s gone SO quick (in my opinion lol probably not for you!) I remember when you first posted the test on here! Let us know how the scan goes ❤️

@Aries491 I think that’s the only way to get through the TWW without having a break down - you need to keep yourself busy!

@Mrsspoon3 Yes she was so excited - I’m so happy I told her! I can talk to my boyfriend of course but talking to someone that has kids understands so much more, I definitely feel better for it.

I got my 3+ on a CB this morning at 5+1 yay 🙌

@Peachycream really winds me up haha

@Mrsspoon3 I just meant the 'easy @ home' OPK tests always give me low readings... but I think the test to control line shows how high LH levels are? I could be wrong though 😊

BFN for me again this morning but no sign of AF yet either. I just want the 🧙🏼‍♀️ to hurry up already so I can treat myself to some nice cheese and a really hot bath 😂

For those that temp, when does the temp normally drop? Is it day of AF or day/s before?

@Peachycream yep I hate that. Or when you're on your way somewhere and think 'did I lock the door?'

Also on a separate note.... anyone else watching Love Island? It's just not as exciting this year 🏝 😒
