Finally realised that our previous thread was full 🤣 I hope no one minds me starting up a new one!

Can you believe it's been almost a year since this was all started up?!

Fingers crossed for you @Houseelf90 🤞🏻

I’ve started feeling really nauseous the past few days, feel like I’m totally symptom spotting 😂

I didn’t do OPK’s this month, but we last DTD about 8 days ago. AF is due at the end of this week so will wait and see I guess! I haven’t feel my usual self this week but not sure I’m if just wishful thinking

Houseelf90 · 15/01/2023 18:13

@Welshgal85 fingers crossed for you!! I’ve needed to pee way more than usual, well more that when I need it I really need it straight away!!
I’ve felt a little nauseous the last couple of days, and hiccups have continued! I was so determined to wait until tomorrow morning, but driving home from nipping to the shop this afternoon I had the urge to test! I’ve only got 2 cheapies and a CB weeks predictor left, so have ordered a couple of FRER’s which should arrive Tuesday! I’ll keep the CB to use in another week+ I think.

Welshgal85 · 15/01/2023 18:20

Yeah I’ve got 2 CB early 6 days early tests so trying to wait a few more days before doing one!

@HeathenPlayingHouse ahh ok! I’m not massively clued up on the OPK’s but I have seen lots that you can get a positive OPK when you’re pregnant. It’s odd that you started bleeding in the middle, but reassuring you’re getting high readings on the OPK’s again!

Yeah, I'm not sure why that happened, but then I had constant mid cycle bleeding before I started the Metformin, so it might have just been a random bleed. Either way, I'll be keeping an eye on it- just got another positive OPK, this time 1.29.

DearieMeWhatsUp · 15/01/2023 20:52

AF not due til Thursday but tested today anyway and eeeek. I'm nervous now as had a CP in November so will no doubt be testing a lot for the next week or two.

Good luck to everyone else still waiting to test

Congrats @DearieMeWhatsUp ! That's exciting. Hope it's a sticky one 🤞

Houseelf90 · 15/01/2023 21:35

@HeathenPlayingHouse fingers crossed for you!

@DearieMeWhatsUp congratulations!

HeathenPlayingHouse · 15/01/2023 21:37

Congratulations @DearieMeWhatsUp!

congratulations @DearieMeWhatsUp

HeathenPlayingHouse · 17/01/2023 10:43

1DPO and managed to BD with Preseed last night (well, this morning technically).

Not sure if we caught the window since my peak OPK was around 8pm on Sunday night and we BD'd at around 1am. Guess we'll see in about 12 days 🤞

Hope everyone is well xx

LucyLoopyLu · 17/01/2023 10:58

@HeathenPlayingHouse fingers crossed for you!

I should be 2dpo now if I just somehow missed my peak. If I didn't ovulate then all the scheduled BD was useless 🤦‍♀️
AF due 30th so let's see what happens

Houseelf90 · 17/01/2023 18:50

FRER’s arrived and confirmed that the very faint line was definitely a line 😁 now just praying it’s a sticky bean 🤞🏼🙏

@Dreamingof3 thank you 🥰 going to try and hold out till Friday to test again (so might make it to Thursday 🤦‍♀️🤣)

LucyLoopyLu · 17/01/2023 19:43

@Houseelf90 yay congrats!

Houseelf90 · 17/01/2023 19:46

Thank you @LucyLoopyLu, how are you doing?

DesertSnow · 17/01/2023 19:51

Oh brilliant news @Houseelf90, got everything crossed for a sticky bean!

krissy12 · 17/01/2023 22:14

congratulations @Houseelf90

LucyLoopyLu · 17/01/2023 22:20

@Houseelf90 I'm OK thanks. I feel weirdly stressed today about having booked a holiday for March. I'm considering having 2 cycles not trying if this one is another BFN so I know I won't be pregnant when away. We've spent a lot of money (it's like a replacement honeymoon as ours was meant to be May 2020) and if I do happen to be in early pregnancy then I don't know how much I will enjoy it.

I don't know what my OH will think about that though. I want him to be on board but he might be upset at the idea of stopping for 2 months.

I also just feel sad about still not being any closer to being a mum.

How are you feeling? Hope all OK with you x

Welshgal85 · 17/01/2023 22:39

Great news @Houseelf90 keeping everything crossed for you! 🤞🏻

helly013 · 17/01/2023 22:45

@DearieMeWhatsUp congratulations. So lovely to see a BFP for the new year!

And @Houseelf90 🥰 congratulations too. I'm sure your anxious but we have everything crossed for you that this will be the sticky bean! How many cycles have you had since your CP?

My bleeding has stopped now so will track and see if I ovulate this month, I know from my first miscarriage it can take a while for things to settle down.

Houseelf90 · 18/01/2023 06:44

Thank you @DesertSnow @krissy12 @Welshgal85

@LucyLoopyLu its such a difficult decision isn’t it. If this one doesn’t work out I did consider stopping for the cycle that would mean baby would be due over Christmas, and then panicked about wasting time. You just have to go with your gut and think about your plans for holiday, would being pregnant change your plans (other than drinking!)

@helly013 thank you! I hope you’re doing ok? This is my first cycle since my CP, I’ve been incredibly lucky with how easily I fall pregnant just got to hope I can get this one to stick 🤞🏼

LucyLoopyLu · 18/01/2023 21:41

@Houseelf90 hi, thanks for your message 💚 it would definitely mean a change of some plans if I was pregnant (but hopefully nothing too difficult to change), but really I think I would be worried about ruining the holiday by being anxious / ill / nauseous. There are a lot of active days and a lot of long journeys on the itinerary and I don't know if it would be too much! Also not being able to have a drink / eat certain food might be a little annoying (though a minor point tbf).
I don't know what to do 😶 AF due Monday 30th so probably pointless worrying about the decision until I see how this cycle works out.

LucyLoopyLu · 18/01/2023 21:43

@Houseelf90 sorry I pressed send too soon! Was going to ask if you're going to test again tomorrow morning?
Really hope this is a sticky one for you 🤞

Houseelf90 · 18/01/2023 21:57

@LucyLoopyLu its so difficult isn’t it!! Hopefully nature will make a decision for you!!! I’m sure it’ll be a fantastic holiday either way!
I’m really torn on when to test. I’ve got one FRER left and a CB weeks indicator. I used an FRER yesterday afternoon so I’m not sure how much progression I’d see tomorrow only being 36 hours after I last tested. But yesterday was only 1.5 hour hold and obviously afternoon, so then again it might be worth it 🤷‍♀️ then I would plan to do the CB indicator next week and hope I get 2-3 weeks 🤞🏼
