Hoping for BFP August/September

[BellaTheDarkOverlord]

Follow on for those still hoping for baby dust and luck for those BFPs in Aug and Sept🍀Goodluck all x

@Missgemini oooo no i didn’t actually know there was a pregnancy thread! I have only used mumsnet for the last couple of months and focused on the TTC threads, yeah I feel im tempting it at 11DPO haha!

Thank you all, think im going to get through the next week when AF is due to appear and then get one booked in. I can’t get my head round it yet and still expecting AF to arrive Wednesday as planned!

@My2boysaremyworld yeah that was a concern for me that I would be earlier than expected.

I feel super daft as it’s our first baby and my first pregnancy and im like a rabbit in headlights 😂

Congratulations @LauraA31 and @Missgemini wishing you both a happy and healthy 9 months 🥳

@LauraA31 enjoy every bit of it hun. Your not daft your excited and that's wonderful xx

@Missgemini @LauraA31 Aww thank you both ☺️ I feel so happy for both of you and looking forward to hearing all progressions updates!

I am planning to test either this evening or Tomorrow at 10DPO. I think I am a bit scared that It will be BFN. As yesterday I was in such a good mood, after seeing BFN I was disappointed. I went and checked my Cervix position. It seems to be quite low now. So don’t think that’s a good sign at this point.

Oh well, Let’s see what happens 🤞

Congrats @LauraA31 !! How exciting..

just a question has anyone had a blood test from doctors to confirm if ovulation happened? And how would you go about it?

I really thought this month was it as was 7 days late for AF, I was tracking tests through pre mom app but looking now although it stated peak I really don’t think the line was darker than the control line.

Obviously it wasn’t meant to be but just wondering how common are anovulatory cycles? Xx

@Lollywhite Iv had the blood tests at different times in my cycle to confirm if I'm ovulating. Can't remember which days you go for it at xx

@My2boysaremyworld thankyou, I will give them a ring tomorrow!

I did have a pelvic scan and blood test back in February to check thyroid and everything seemed okay with that.. But just concerned about how much my length is varying xx

@Lollywhite yes get checked if ur concerned xx

Did anyone with a bfp get some slight shooting pains on one side during implantation?

@Tartanhaggis I had random lower tummy twinges.

I have had constant dull period type pains lower both sides and shooting pains (but nothing drastic) on one side plus when I go to stand up it's like a muscle pulling. Just symptom spotting I'm at 9dpo 🤞

@Tartanhaggis that sounds kinda like what I’ve been having. But the annoying thing is that many people have these symptoms before AF too.
Good luck with testing! I got a BFP at 9dpo.

@Tartanhaggis hopefully these are positive things for you.

CD11 today and another (3rd) flashing smiley so will be at least CD13 before I ovulate. Taking it as a good thing and maybe last month was just a blip. I have had ovulation pain the past couple days so egg must be busy ripening. My dilemma of DTD yesterday now doesn't matter lol. Think I'll skip today though and hopefully it's peak tomorrow

Hope everyone is well. CD13 today and finally home! Hopefully weather will break today and cool down. Will test ovulation soon to see if I get a positive over next few days.

Another BFN at 10 DPO🤷🏻‍♀️

@Derinsea12 sorry to hear that

@BellaTheDarkOverlord it's pouring with rain here today so cooled down massively. Let us know what your OPK is

@Derinsea12 Ah so sorry! Worth rechecking in a couple of days too. Good luck!

@Derinsea12 Sorry for BFN x still time yet though x

@EdinburghGirl1 No rain where I am in Yorkshire yet. Hoping for a storm soon!

Thank you for all the support ☺️

I will poas on Wednesday again as AF should arrive on Friday. It’s disappointing though.

A quick question -During TTC, Should I consider quitting coffee completely or is it ok having a cup of coffee everyday? As I am not sure if I can function without caffeine 🥴

@BellaTheDarkOverlord we had lots of thunder last night too. At least my OH isn't going to be too hot for BD 😆

CD20 today, not sure how many DPO or anything due to not tracking this month, will test 24th as this is when I'd be due if I was having a 28 day cycle and then go from there. Not particularly hopeful this month

Can anyone else me with OPK question?

Are you 1 DPO the day after peak or the day after the day you got your peak?

For example if I get my peak 16th tomorrow will 17th be 1DPO? Or would it be 18th?

Hi!

You should ovulate 24-36 hours after peak, so normally 2 days or so until 1dpo after peak

Hope that helps :)

@Essexgalttc 1DPO would be 18th

@Essexgalttc I've usually say 2 days after. Like if I get my peak today and tomorrow test is fainter, I'll class tomorrow as ovulation and the next day 1DPO. At least when I am testing around AF time I'm looking at lowest number DPO if that makes sense.

Today CD13 and negative OPK, line so faint barely there. AF due 31st.
