Hi I haven't been on here alot sorry but I'm 5 weeks pregnant today! @WingingIt09 I'm due 20th January xx currently have sore boobs metallic taste ! A bit anxious also but that's expected x good luck 🤞🏻 for everyone on their TTC journey xx

@Alice1608 no way, what are the chances? Ah how exciting, yes wedding buddies for sure! When I got the dress we didn't think we'd be trying till after the wedding but then things changed and here we are.

This is amazing! Shall we see if either of us are pregnant for the wedding and therefore dresses won't fit?!lol 🤣🤷‍♀️ I doubt it will be me as i only just had my implant removed and have been on conception for years abs years with no break. Plus I'm 35 lol so maybe you will?lol xxxx

DesertSnow · 20/05/2022 09:48

@dollface22 congratulations, that's amazing! Hope the anxiety wears off and you can relax and just enjoy!

DesertSnow · 20/05/2022 09:53

@Alice1608 absolutely! I don't think I will be pregnant either, as we'll basically only have one shot at it (so to speak) before the wedding. Unless we change our minds and start trying earlier... I was on the pill for years with no break but came off it a year ago to regulate cycles. Unfortunately cycles irregular and some other problems that put odds against us, but all we can do is try! I'm about to turn 31 in a couple of weeks so have a bit of time to investigate issues (at least I hope!). Don't think being 35 should be a problem for you... is it your first you're trying for?

Sunshine0987 · 20/05/2022 10:01

Congratulations to everyone on their BFPs recently! It's getting very exciting around here 😊 I've just booked to have my coil removed next month and it's starting to feel a bit more daunting now the time to start trying is nearly here. I am excited and so ready though! Good luck to everyone else still TTC ❤️

Brightonbelle87 · 20/05/2022 10:46

Congratulations @dollface22 !

I'm in week 8 and feel absolutely knackered and get a bit nauseous, thankfully nothing severe. I had a bad dose of anxiety at week 5, but it passed so sending you lots of happy thoughts!

Aww OK fair enough. Well you never know on both our accounts! Would love to stay in touch over our journeys together? Xxx

Hjudge56 · 20/05/2022 16:16

Ladies I don’t know if anyone can give any insight to this..

I am 5/6DPO and have had period pain like cramps for the last 2 days, twinges in my ovaries and an random ache in my thighs every now and again.. it’s making me feel quite worried that something weird is going on. It’s not super painful but definitely making me quite sluggish! It’s giving me a bad feeling :/ what do you think? Could it be implantation or does it sound a bit too intense for that?

DesertSnow · 20/05/2022 17:30

@Alice1608 Fingers crossed for both of us! Absolutely, feel free to private message me also if you like 😊

dearhummingbirds · 20/05/2022 17:34

@Hjudge56 I’m not an expert at all, and not sure what all the signs of implantation are, so maybe it is is that? But are you basing your DPO off of tests or just your average cycle? Just wondering if it’s actually just you ovulating.

I don't know if it helps but I had a general cramping feeling for the week before my BFP, a bit like period cramps with a bit of a stretching feeling going on as well. I'd take it as a good sign!

Theawkwardblonde · 20/05/2022 17:58

@DesertSnow I never could get the hang of temping when I did it first time around 😂
Those opks are grand. I do find there are a couple of duds in the pack. Fingers crossed you ovulate soon! 🤞🏻

dollface22 · 20/05/2022 18:06

My 7 year old has just come from school covered in chicken pox ! rang my gp who said In should be fine if exposed if i had as should be fine but arranged a blood test to check my immunity anyway ! A little stressed but jus gettin on with it

Will do! How do I do that? Lol xx

Hjudge56 · 20/05/2022 19:04

@dearhummingbirds no I definitely ovulated Saturday night/Sunday morning! I used fertility monitor, OPK and Ewcm to check. Plus I know the way my body reacts when ovulating and it isn’t these kind of sensations!

@FourOclock yes that’s exactly how I’d explain it!! It’s actually calmed down this evening but still the odd twinge! Fingers crossed it is a good sign!

Nyxxie · 20/05/2022 22:23

@Hjudge56 I had some mild cramps on 7/8 DPO, a few days before BFP. Fingers crossed for you that it was implantation 🤞

POAS again today (bottom test - 12DPO). Top one is yesterday's. Still can't believe it!

Wow @Nyxxie that's a lot stronger line for just one day later! Congrats! How do you feel?

WingingIt09 · 20/05/2022 22:38

Wow @Nyxxie that's a brilliant progression!

I think I might have missed my peak in OPKs - went to 0.86 this morning (CD12) on Premom and then down to 0.5 again. I think I might have peaked overnight. Will have to wait and see what BBT does to confirm but I'm probably entering TWW now! We've DTD CD 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. May try again tomorrow night but not sure I cba. We're usually 1/2 times a month so 5 times in the 8 days has been a lot! DH even commented on the amount (I haven't been telling him about the OPKs). Reckon I've covered to with days 8.10 and 12 if I ovulate on day 13/14? Or should I make the effort to do it again tomorrow night...

Wow @Nyxxie that's fab progression 😍

@WingingIt09 I reckon you've got it coveted, should be lots of swimmers there waiting 🤣

Theawkwardblonde · 21/05/2022 07:55

@WingingIt09 I think you've gotten it covered ☺️ fingers crossed for you!

Hjudge56 · 21/05/2022 10:11

@Nyxxie im trying to hang onto hope that the cramps are a good sign! I’ve been having them in the night and this morning 🥴 my friend is 8 weeks pregnant and she said she’s had cramps ever since 1DPO.

I think at the end of the day everyone is going to be different with their symptoms! Im really trying to hope that this is a good thing and something is happening down there! But im worried it’s going to be another chemical, same as last month 😔

Hjudge56 · 21/05/2022 10:12

Also @Nyxxie that is a BEAUTIFUL line!!! Hugest congratulations again!

DesertSnow · 21/05/2022 12:00

@Alice1608 I've sent you a private message 😊
