@Amber17

I can’t believe I’m asking this but… what are you all peeing into to dip tests in?
I’ve used a ramekin from a Gu pudding before! Maybe when I’m testing more often I’ll find a better solution.
NarnieJoy · 04/03/2022 14:54

@FourOclock congratulations !!! That's amazing, wow !!

OCM19 · 04/03/2022 14:55

@FourOclock what were your symptoms during your TTW? x

FourOclock · 04/03/2022 15:11

[quote OCM19]@FourOclock what were your symptoms during your TTW? x[/quote]
I had discharge for the TWW which I don't normally after ovulation (not for the whole thing but on and off and certainly all week this week) and have been having dull aches/minor period type pains for around a week. Slightly tender boobs in the evenings. And as I said before, veeeery irritable 🤣 earlier than I normally would with PMT

FourOclock · 04/03/2022 15:16

Oh and lack of spotting that i normally get 3-4 days before period. I have had some waves of nausea but that could be more nerves!

hevann · 04/03/2022 15:19

@Amber17 I've been using similar to these although mine did come with my ovulation sticks. x

I'm so sorry! Didn't realise that picture would be so big! 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol! x

HeathenPlayingHouse · 04/03/2022 15:34

Hello, may I join you? OH and I have agreed to start TTC number 2, I'm 36 and our DS is 2yo.

I'm expecting it to take a while for us, it took nearly 4 years last time due to my PCOS. I just started taking the natural supplement regimen I took to conceive last time, so hopefully it'll be quicker this time around!

Nyxxie · 04/03/2022 18:51

@FourOclock huge congratulations, first BFP!! So excited for you! 🥳

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to test as what I hoped was implantation bleeding turned into AF making an early appearance today 😔

FourOclock · 04/03/2022 18:58

Oh no @Nyxxie I'm sorry Sad I hope you are looking after yourself, it's been a tough week for you

LucyLoopyLu · 04/03/2022 19:10

Sorry to hear that @nyxxie
Hope you're ok

DanceWithYourBalloon · 04/03/2022 20:01

@Nyxxie sorry to hear that. X

Brightonbelle87 · 04/03/2022 20:09

Massive congratulations @FourOclock! How exciting! X

Is this the first one of the thread?

Tropicana1 · 04/03/2022 20:30

@DanceWithYourBalloon I had the same not having to shave my legs with my first pregnancy too 😂 it was great

@FourOclock yay congratulations! I had a good feeling about you getting a positive!

@Nyxxie ah that's rubbish, sorry

Nyxxie · 04/03/2022 20:51

Thanks ladies. Pretty disappointed as I'm only 9DPO so when I started spotting I thought it was a good sign. On to the next cycle I guess.

Very exciting to have a BFP in the group though!

Also @Amber17 I was using a yoghurt pot 😂

tryingtryinggone · 04/03/2022 20:54

@FourOclock congratulations!! How exciting for you 🥰

@Amber17 last time I just used an old mug which was just then used for testing 🙈 no idea what I’ll go with this time haha

NarnieJoy · 04/03/2022 21:40

@Amber17 I was using a glass to do opks… that stopped when DH used it to have a drink from when it was on the side rinsed out 😆😬😬 now I just use an old plastic skincare container

WingingIt09 · 04/03/2022 22:04

@HeathenPlayingHouse welcome!

@Nyxxie I'm so sorry, sending huge hugs, hopefully next month is your month xx

@Amber17 I'm using a little tupperware that we've lost the lid for

TheOnlyException1 · 04/03/2022 22:57

Hi all, sorry I went quiet this week, been a bit of a rubbish one.. DH was traveling for work, and AF came earlier than usual, and with some pretty bad cramps and headaches.. not sure if that could be related to us ttc for the first time? Plus my brain seems to be all over the place, I managed to lock myself out of the house while taking the bins out and had to call out a locksmith 🤦‍♀️

Congrats @FourOclock, so happy for your wonderful news!

@Nyxxie Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you, fingers crossed for next month

We're going to be trying properly for the first time this month so really hoping it works out, but trying to keep expectations low!

PinkButtercups · 04/03/2022 23:29

@FourOclock

So finally got around to taking a test...
Congratulations!!
PinkButtercups · 04/03/2022 23:31

I use party cups to pee in Blush. I have so many little party cups unused I just though eh f**k it. They get used that way. I put them straight in the bin don't worry 🤣.

Houseno22reno · 04/03/2022 23:34

Yay congratulations to our first positive baby mama! So exciting 😊

Houseno22reno · 04/03/2022 23:35

Oh no name change failure, doesn't seem to work on the app! I will change back soon, (summerbreeze111)

Cheeeeeeeks · 05/03/2022 01:13

Hi All,
Congratulations @FourOclock!

Please may I join!?
Trying to conceive baby number 2. This will be the first month of trying, I'm excited and scared at the same time. Fell pregnant straight away with the first when we properly tried (figured out ovulation time etc).
Not sure why but I feel this time round it will take longer...
But I am hopeful! Fingers crossed, baby dust to you all!!!

HeathenPlayingHouse · 05/03/2022 03:02

Thank you @WingingIt09

Congratulations @FourOclock! Such wonderful news!

@Nyxxie I'm sorry, got my fingers crossed for you for this next month.

I learned an important lesson tonight- make sure not to take my supplements on an empty stomach. They're chalky, the size of horse pills and kept triggering my gag reflex, I came so close to throwing up! I've ended up buying a pill splitter online because they'll need to be cut into 4 Confused
