Yay congratulations Zara!

Just an update for you guys --
I did another cheapie pregnancy test and it was stark white negative, so that must have been a freak false positive. How bizarre.
I did another OPK as well this evening and again the line was darker than the control line so I'm taking that to mean I am ovulating now, later than I expected this cycle. I'll do another tomorrow to see, and if I haven't caught this month then I'll probably keep using them to monitor what my cycle does!

It's amazing how much you learn about your body as you TTC/get pregnant!
Thanks for the replies to my posts guys!

Congrats Zara on your BFP! That's an amazingly bold line.

Any bfp ladies experience (and sorry for the tmi) being really gassy and needing to go to the toilet more regularly because of that... not for a wee!! Hope no one's eating!! Sorry!

Thank you Again, I know I'm symptom fishing but this does seem a little unusual! I'm just overthinking as a way of passing the time haha!!

Congratulations Zara

I’m 4 days late and still no sign of AF. My boobs are getting increasingly swollen and tender so I definitely think it’s on the way. CD38 now

I’ve just come off a night shift so I’m going to try to sleep for a few hours, I hope AF turns up by this afternoon because I’m getting so frustrated with it. My left lower abdomen has been pinching all night too.
Feeling very sorry for myself

Congrats Zara

Lucky, maybe it's not over yet. I didn't get a positive test until 4-5 days late.
Fingers crossed!

Congrats Zara on your bfp!

I hate symptom spotting but I’ve has a bad head for 2 days and this morning I’ve felt rotten, really sicky and just bleh!
I had headaches with my precious 2 pregnancies so who knows.

 

[Coles]

Congratulations Zara
Here hoping for the rest of us.
I am trying to not get excited but my boobs have been sore/tingley for nearly 2 weeks now. Positive ovulation test on 4th and 5th Aug so maybe just a symptom of ovulation but would expect it to have eased by now x

 

[WelshGirl82]

Congrats to all the BFPs so far... I had my peak last night (although my OPKs have expired so ��*♀&#65039 but the EWCM was there so I think it’s accurate

Till that I was getting worried as I had the EWCM but wasn’t getting the result on the OPK, but held my friends baby yesterday then hormones kicked in :&#8217

 

[Elven]

Congratulations to the ones who have had their Looking to be a good month so far! x

 

[Vintageling]

Feeling really blah today feels like the starts of a cold today feeling abit dizzy and still got my headache

 

[Sjf0709]

I’m waiting for my OPK peak this month but I got a spike in my temp this morning and wondered if I was/had ovulated. Quickly this morning in case I was but then got a negative OPK. Waiting until 2pm to do another one now and hoping I am ovulating or about to. The sign spotting (temp, OPK and CM) is driving me nuts and it’s only my first month tracking all of these. Thank god I have all of you ladies going through the same thing to keep me sane!

Ps loving all the positivity and bfp’s so far!
