[ricschick]

Ladders I'm no expert but your chart looks good!! Fx!!!

Hopefully in the next few days we will have a few bfp!!

Hopfl lol ask away!!! Yes funnily enough today my nipples are very sore!! Like my night shirt hurts them!! And I get quite sore and tender down there before ov and I tested again this afternoon and it was dark but lighter than the control so a negative and my cramps have gone now so fx!!!!

 

[Sander]

Thanks happycupcake! I keep thinking oh I don't have any symptoms but it's only 4dpo so it's reassuring that either way I shouldn't be feeling anything Maybe in the next few days! Planning on starting to test on Thursday which would be 9dpo because I don't think I could wait much longer haha

 

[happycupcake]

Sander, implantation doesn't usually happen for a week or more after ovulation, with the most usual day being 9dpo, but obviously everyone/every pregnancy is different so it can happen earlier or later. It would be unlikely to see a positive test before 7dpo at the earliest, though, so you wouldn't see genuine pregnancy symptoms before

 

[curiousowl]

Kim, with DD I didn't get a positive test until 13dpo and had MS starting 2 days later at 15dpo sooo.... idk, but I don't think it's too early.

Along those same lines, no one count themselves out at 9dpo! There is still plenty of time.

Rics, do you temp? That's really going to be late the only way of exactly pinpointing the day you O'd. Or they do have ovulation double check tests that can confirm, but eve they can't exactly pinpoint the day, just tell you that you O'd.

Those sound like good signs duster and ladders! Ladders, your chart looks good.

 

[curiousowl]

I've never had sore nipples at O time! So interesting. I had no idea that was a common thing.

 

[annio84]

Hi ladies, I've read through and caught up with everything but I have no chance of actually replying to everyone so...
Kim congrats on the Bfp!

Welcome ricschick.

Ladders, 8dpo is pretty early.

I think that's all I can manage. I feel like I'm walking round in a daze. I was on call for stroke team yesterday at work and kept doing stupid things like pushing a&e trolleys and stuff! Plus I literally have no idea what I'm doing half the time. I'm sure baby brain didn't set in so early before. It could also be the heat and the nausea!

Someone asked about symptoms earlier on. I've been thinking about it and the only things this month were cramping at around 8/9dpo and a tiny streak of blood in my cm on 8dpo. I had that last month as well though and bfn. What finally made me test, other than the crazy obsession was having one glass of prosecco and then waking up feel dreadful the next morning.

 

[citrusfruit]

My temp rose again this morning, yay!! So only managed 3 BDs but hopefully the timing was ok. I'm not sure of o date so I'm saying 2-4 dpo today. Nice to be in the tww again but not feeling super hopeful again as would have liked to have got 1 more BD in!

Crazy as it sounds though I am already symptom spotting as I have a bit of an upset tummy today. Probably completely unrelated!

How did you get on with this mornings test ladders?

 

[ladders]

Good about your temps citrus at least you can relax now knowing your defo in the 2ww and I think your timing was great!

Tested again this morning and bfn! Kept thinking something was catching my eye but think either an evap or just seeing the strip as defo no colour to it. Just hoping I don't come on till next week so I have a decent lp

 

[happycupcake]

Anni, I have a memory like a neon fish on a regular day and am always in a daze, so hopefully this is some consolation lol
I didn't remember to add yesterday after someone mentioned alcohol making them feel urgh. When pregnant with our youngest son, we got married four days after we found out we were expecting him and I had a small glass of sangria on our wedding day, which I usually love, but I could barely drink a sip of it as it made me feel gross. I think when pregnant our bodies are fabulous at making sure we are as put off the things it feels we shouldn't have and those we definitely shouldn't have because when pregnant with my first I was smoking, but I quickly couldn't stand it which made quitting cold turkey super easy! Coffee too - I always go off coffee when pregnant. I don't think there's anything wrong with a little caffeine when ttc or pregnant, but my body clearly doesn't like it!

Citrus, pleased your temps rose today! I think another day of elevated temperature and the app will pinpoint ovulation.
It may be the increase in progesterone giving you that. I find I get the same thing a few days after ovulation, then I will be fairly constipated, and then when hormones start changing in preparation for af I get the opposite. Some are sensitive to these changes.

Ladders, do you have a photo you can post?

I have pretty much the same super faint line as yesterday, which in all likelihood doesn't mean anything. I tweaked it so you can see what I see in real life more, as they don't photograph fabulously. Top is from yesterday but obviously dry. Fourth photo is today's close up but a little blurry so looks like a vaguely pink smudge

 

[ladders]

Cupcake I really really hope those progress for you. I'd thrown this morning's test out so just took another to photo and absolutely stark white, no hint of anything so definitely a bfn. Starting to feel out now 😔😔

 

[happycupcake]

How many dpo are you? Don't think yourself out, some don't see a hint of a positive until af is due and beyond, so things could change soon!
Thanks, I know it's far too early really to see anything so logic says these are the same annoying false lines these tests tend to show

 

[citrusfruit]

Gosh cupcake those lines are soooo annoying. Even though I know what these tests are capable of, I would still be hopeful if I saw that line at say 8 or 9dpo. I think that's a good argument for early testing as you know it's v v v unlikely to mean anything and so you have got a comparison when you do get to 8 or 9 dpo. Good enough excuse for me anyway!!!

 

[happycupcake]

They are. And they confuse people who don't use them frequently too. If I was a little later on and hadn't used these before, I would be convinced these would progress, and be heartbroken if they didn't. It would probably also lead me to believe I had had a chemical, when in fact these are simply silly little lines that appear quite frequently on these anyway

 

[curiousowl]

Oh those are awful if they're not real cupcake. I had heard people say they weren't a fan of One Step, now I know why!

 

[curiousowl]

I am definitely not one of the ones who has a problem with alcohol while early pregnant. I had a lot of drinks 2 nights before I got a BFP with DD and enjoyed them very much, lol

 

[happycupcake]

Curious, yes I know lol! I'm always seeing lines like this on these each cycle so I ignore them unless they start to become more obvious. I only buy them because they are cheap to piss away (or piss on lol) and I'm fairly confident they would show a genuine line if they actually were detecting hCG, but I suspect this wouldn't happen until at least 7dpo, probably later.
Everyone is different I guess, like some people will crave such random things, some will be able to have a glass of wine happily

 

[dustergrl]

Argh, those lines, cupcake!!!!

I am not a big drinker but am a total cheap date when I do drink- one wine or beer is enough for me lol! Hard liquor can tend to tear me up inside (IBS). I should have known I was pregnant with DS when DH and I went to a friend's wedding and I had drink after drink and felt nothing! It was like my body was protecting DS before I was even late.

Had more spotting yesterday but was nothing more than colored cm- nothing like af. Seems to have stopped today. *shrugs* Not testing again until after af is due (June 1). If I am pregnant, I'm thinking about telling DH for either his birthday (June 5) or Father's Day- but I don't know if I can wait til mid-late June!

 

[JessyG]

I can see those lines cupcake but i know what you mean about waiting for them to darken up before getting excited.

Ugh i am so annoyed. My neighbour is stripping his deck with deck stripper and the whole of my downstairs is stinking. I have lit candles and opened the front windows (its coming from the back although our downstairs is all open plan) now freaking that breathing it in all afternoon is gonna cause some sort of damage to the baby. I avoid painting while pregnant but paint stripper is a big no no i believe and i have been exposed to it for hours today!

 

[happycupcake]

Duster, my husband has IBS and can't drink beer. He can drink a specific type of beer, Cobra or something, but all the others cause his IBS to flare up. I can't remember if spirits do too, he hasn't had any for ages. Do you eat tomatoes and tomato based things? This is another thing which seems to trigger it off.

Jessy, I wouldn't worry too much. I know there are certain things you should avoid when pregnant but generally they mean you using them rather than a neighbour using them and the smell drifting through. The dangerous stuff will have been hugely dispersed into the air, which is a much vaster space than your house, so I would imagine most of it wouldn't enter the house. The smell of these things I know is strong, woodfiller is the same in that respect and also no one should be without good ventilation when using it. The landlord here insisted on it being used despite the fact it didn't have to be used and a gentler alternative could have been used instead, and it filled the house with its smell but no one had any adverse side effects from it, except for me and only because it triggered a meltdown because I'm hypersensitive to smells.
Think of it like the air outside as diluting any dangerous fumes and by the time they reached your house it would be more like a drop in the ocean in comparison to if it was you carrying the procedure out yourself

 

[ladders]

Those lines are horrible, I would so he thinking I was on my way to a bfp if I saw those! I'm 9dpo today cupcake so you would prob think I'd see a little glimmer of something if I was preg, it's just so weird because I really thought I would be this month and I don't know why!

Duster I'm excited for you! And I'm the same I'd love a bfn this time as dh birthday on the 3rd of June and we said we wasn't getting each other gifts this year and is love to have an announcement for him!

Jessy im sure baby will be fine but i bet it's extra strong for you with preggo nose!
