Done another one this morning and it’s a proper squinter so I’m not sure it’s sticking around! BUT at least I know I can get pregnant again after the miscarriage as that’s always a worry lol

Show us a picture Dinkydizzy!!!! It is so exciting, another positive!!!!

 

[Crumble]

So, I got a positive OPK today, so I should ovulate tomorrow, so the app was wrong as given as OD yesterday lol....so I should test on the 18th and do a lot of baby dance today and tomorrow.....oh gosh, I am glad I been doing test with OPK! Maybe is the right month

It’s really hard to capture on pic but I’ll try lol

I haven’t got the best lighting in my house, so should’ve waited until after work really

9DPO today, have had mild nausea all day, just an unsettled tummy type feeling, really trying not to get my hopes up though and definitely resisting testing until Monday!

Anyone else think they’ve got early symptoms?

I'm very cautiously dipping my toe into this....but as of the last three days I've had a real craving for Marmite (which is the same as Veggiemite I think) and butter (I don't eat butter because I hate the taste - but now...yoh!). I have very mild nausea but it gets a bit more intense if I don't eat - but that can be very typical of the LP so I don't read too much into it. Also, my boobs NEVER get sore, but they are becoming tender to the touch on the sides and itchy at times....but once again, that can just be hormones.

I've decided to BELIEVE that I am pregnant, and speak and think like I am - maybe if I speak life that what I say will become reality ...worth a shot I think

 

[KatD]

No symptoms at all for me today - nothing I can really associate with being pregnant anyway.

VERY tired this morning and was yawning like hell in spinning, but tbh that’s not unusual

The only thing that’s unusual is the continued dull back ache. Few little twinges, but nothing to write home about after that cramping session yesterday.

Said I would test Tuesday .....Sunday is basically Tuesday right?

And Friday is basically Sunday right

We are all poas addicts! I did one today because I have sore nipples! No idea what possessed me I knew there was no chance! Don’t even know when/I’d i ovulated this month!

I would do it tomorrow but oh is on nights (I want him to be here when I test) and Saturday I am going to my friends for the millionth bbq this summer and drinks, so the next oppurtunity is Sunday.

Please reassure me that having a few drinks on Saturday is ok? I already feel really sh*t about it and even oh, for the first time ever, actually asked when I am testing and he even mentioned about the drinking on Saturday which made me feel really guilty I ended up saying back to him 'alcohol doesn't get near the baby for the first few weeks' (read that on here)

God I am worrying and I might not even be pregnant

The rule of thumb in the TTC game is



DRINK UNTIL IT'S PINK


Even after conception you have 21 days before your baby will tap into your bloodstream for nutrients. It's the bodies way of protecting the little one so that the mom can register ...'heck, I'm pregnant'- I love our bodies!!!

I can see it Dinky

 

[night owl]

I can see the line there dinky, I wouldn’t worry too much those rubbish internet cheapys, it takes forever to get a clear positive on them

Ooh kat that sounds very promising and I love your approach to it too! I need some of your positive mental attitude as today I’m not feeling very hopeful, I had mild nausea all day yesterday but today it’s gone suppose I’ll just have to see what the next few days brings

 

[KatD]

I wouldn't read too much into that Nigtowl, true morning sickness will only kick in from around 5 weeks. Your body can very well just be preparing the hormone levels for your bfp that's why your nausea is fluctuating. In a few short weeks you might be wishing the nausea away lol

FX for you

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

I see it too Dinky! FX for you xxx

 

[baby.3]

Morning Girls,

I definitely see that line DizzyDrinks! Fingers crossed it's a sticky little bean : D Sounds like a few of you have some positive symptoms, so FX for all of you

So i've still got another week or so before i'm even near ovulation... it takes aaaagggges! I'm so impatient lol Although we had a practice run last night haha! First time since last months BFP/mc, only now i've started spotting again

Fingers crossed it all settles down in time for me to active ttc this month

 

[night owl]

Aah baby.3 it drove me mad waiting for ovulation after MC, mine was exactly 4 weeks later but I MC at 10w4 so think it took a while for my hormones to sort themselves out, good luck for this cycle

 

[IVW]

God i couldn't get off to sleep last night, kept thinking about testing and how i had today and Saturday to get through i literally wanted to sleep until Sunday!

I generally wee alot in the night, but i seem to be releasing a lot more than i usually would and i am not generally drinking masses more than i normally do - odd.

No cravings at all for me, but i have the dullest diet going so my body wouldnt know how to crave something

Nightowl - I am the same as you, really not feeling anything, and i want to

Felt bloated since 3 dpo and every now and then at random times it feels like a bit of a pressure is building down there, but then it settles and i just feel bloated - eughhh!

KatD - Yours sounds very promising indeed

Eeeeek the next few days will be exciting for a few of us. come on girls we can do this

 

[Kitana]

So sorry to hear about your MCs baby3 and nightowl... Hoping for sticky beans this time! I did get pregnant again right after my chemical and it stuck!
I'm in the 2WW, 3DPO, waiting for any kind of sign but I think it's all in my head. 3DPO is waaaay too early for anything.

Keep testing, keep testing

 

[Dinkydizzy]

Thanks ladies! I’ll try again tomorrow lol x

 

[SmithyBaby]

Exciting times ladies!! Looks like we may have more sending you all lots of !! Hoping they're all sticky beans xx
I am waiting on af which should be next week judging by my positive opk. Then it's TTC time. I may just miss out on this month but hopefully the next one

 

[HaylzDz]

Hi guys. Hoping I can jump in here just joined and wanted to say hello! First time TTC, cycle 3. This is my first cycle using OPKs, I’m about 8dpo and going insane 😂 hoping all the support and stories from you guys will help!

 

[baby.3]

Aah baby.3 it drove me mad waiting for ovulation after MC, mine was exactly 4 weeks later but I MC at 10w4 so think it took a while for my hormones to sort themselves out, good luck for this cycle

my mmc it took nearly 2 months, but i that was because the medical management failed and i didnt find out til 2 weeks later when i was advised to taste and it came back with a blazing positive! I'd retained a lot of product so then had to have surgical management. I'm hoping this time that things return quickly, as it was early days and all natural.

It's just the waiting is a killer!
