Congratulations girls! 💕

Hopingforarainbow27 · 08/01/2022 13:39

Can I ask something hoping it's not tmi!
I have been quite constipated yesterday and this morning but I just went and when I wiped there was a lot of moist/lotion (but more moist/watery) cm! Is that because I went to the toilet or is that a bad sign that I haven't ovulated? I'm confused :(

Sassy144 · 08/01/2022 14:17

@Hopingforarainbow27 when do you think you ovulated?

Hopingforarainbow27 · 08/01/2022 14:19

@Sassy144 I had ewcm on 29th December so I did a opk test and got a static smiley!

Lils25 · 08/01/2022 14:22

I'm out ladies! 😒 It's my first cycle since miscarriage so trying to focus on taking this as a good sign my body is now ready to try again. Easier said than done when all I can think about is being pregnant again.

Good luck and congratulations to all those with BFP's!

Sassy144 · 08/01/2022 14:26

Cm can vary to be honest, I've had creamy cm since ovulation around 29 Dec and just got BFP. I also sometimes get ewcm right before af comes, so I suppose it's hard to know!

muddypuddlejumping · 08/01/2022 14:48

@HelloNope @Bringonbaby3 hoping you both don't mind the tag. AF arrived for me at the beginning of the week. We're now on our second monty trying for our third although I'm now doubting/ questioning our decision. I'd love to hear more about your reasons if you are willing to discuss? We are so fortunate to have to wonderful DC but we've always felt we'd like one more. However I do work full time, husband often works away a few days a week although cope just fine. I worry about how life will pan out with three but worry I'd regret not trying if we stick at two 🤯

muddypuddlejumping · 08/01/2022 14:55

I apologise if my post comes across as insensitive to anyone trying for their first. I fully appreciate the position I am in especially after trying for well over a year for our second.

AlmostLondoner · 08/01/2022 14:56

I am worried again. I think at 17dpo the lines should be really stronger 🥺

Hoping to get our BFPs in January ✨

Congratulations @TotoAnnihiliation @SkaterChick @ChaiLatte28 wishing yous all a happy and healthy pregnancy ❤️

@Sassy144 I definitely see a line! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 xx

@Sunrise321 and @2022WIP honestly the body is very resilient and I’d say in the majority of ED cases, it likely reverts to caveman status when it needs to preserve fertility above all else. 3 years ago I wasn’t in a good place, I’d just moved 3000 miles, knew I was getting engaged and came off my pill to lose an extra few lbs thinking I couldn’t conceive. 48 hours after said engagement I found out I was 5-6 weeks pregnant 🤦‍♀️. I’ve done a lot of growing and healing since then. This time around I’m really hoping for a healthy full term pregnancy. The last time I didn’t cope well with my changing body, largely as it hadn’t been a conscious decision to get pregnant and I just didn’t understand the toll it would take. After one miserable nicu experience, but now healthy dd, I’d recommend anyone with an ED past get some professional help when pregnant to help adjust to the changes. Good luck to anyone in this boat. The main thing I want to say though is I think the majority of times an ED past will not affect fertility, so fingers crossed for you all x

madeleine85 · 08/01/2022 15:57

@AlmostLondoner can you call the epu /your gp to get bloods taken just in case? I’ve seen faint line progression when googling be totally fine, but also I’d want to know. Could you do the cb digital with dating to see if that picks up the right time? Maybe that’s mental torture though. Blood tests are more reliable tbh.

@SkaterChick @TotoAnnihiliation @Sassy144 and @ChaiLatte28 congratulations!! What lovely news x

BiscuitLover3678 · 08/01/2022 16:16

Congrats to all those getting positives! Is someone updating the list?

RosyappleA · 08/01/2022 16:28

Congrats on the positives ladies, I'm just behind you @Hopingforarainbow27 Im not feeling any different though I know it’s too early but not feeling optimistic this time. Good luck to you hope we get our rainbow babies soon x

Congrats to all the ladies with BFPs

@Hopingforarainbow27 yeah cm varies so much from woman to woman, I've been dry to lotiony myself. And just a few months ago before I was on metformin (not sure if related tho!) I was wet a lot during my time before my period.

Questions for all ladies pals- I'm having swollen gums and see bleeding. I've always had really good oral health (mom is in dentistry 😬). But I'm reading it can also be a period thing? Though everything I'm reading says women get gum sleeps during or right before periods, due to progesterone. I'm currently 8 dpo with a 11ish luteal. Of course I'm hoping it's pregnancy gingivitis (only time I would hope that) any one have some thoughts or experience with this?

Hopingforarainbow27 · 08/01/2022 16:30

Thanks @RosyappleA when are you testing? 🌈 I really hope we do although I'm the same. I'm not hopeful. I know that's the wrong attitude but I never want to get my hopes up

2022WIP · 08/01/2022 16:31

Thank you so much @madeleine85

I have been pregnant before, conceived first time but it didn't go to term. Hated the small changes in my body (didn't realise how lucky I was - what I'd give to have them now). The advice you've given is v valuable!

I'm a bit older now but still hoping!

BFN today but it wasn't FMU and not due on until Friday so still hoping! Will start tracking ovulation next month!

Hopingforarainbow27 · 08/01/2022 16:32

Thanks @contagioushippie I'm hoping it was just because I went to the toilet and was constipated 🙉 roll on Wednesday! I was pasty last time I got my bfp

contagioushippie · 08/01/2022 16:36

@Hopingforarainbow27 omg the constipation is the worst! I'm right with you on that girl
