anyone due af around 7th august? 6BFPS!!!!!!!!!!!

[lucy_smith]

Did you both temp at any point ? Or keep testing with opks after your first positive?

 

[lucy_smith]

Looking foreword to hearing about your scan!

 

[London Kiwi]

Lucy I used to keep using the cheapie OPKs for a couple of days after my peak (only did that the last few months)
I had a feeling that I might not ovulate for a while after my peak so continued to use them and saw that I had peaks for 2+ days sometimes.
Often we would DTD the day of my peak and then stop but after I continued to test we continued to DTD and it paid off.
Let me check my app actually!!
So in April I got a peak on 15th and we DTD through to 18th as I continued to get peaks until 17th.

Had my scan and all looks great so far!
Obviously have to wait for the blood tests to come back in a couple of weeks but the scan went well and everything looked normal which is great.

The baby was a bit of a squirmer! I think it's touching it's face in this pic!

My dates are bang on. 12 weeks 3 days, due 8th Jan as I thought!

 

[lucy_smith]

I am starting to wonder the same thing, and that maybe I'm ovulating later than I originally thought, will keep testing with opks and see how long it's positive for

Did you bd everyday?

What an beautiful scan xx

 

[London Kiwi]

Thank you Lucy! I'm now just starting to get a bit excited about it all.

We tried all sorts of things! Sperm meets the egg (some of my friends swear by it) etc but after my laporoscopy we DTD each night. From about 2 days before my peak... When I could see it getting darker on the OPK until a couple of days after - I'm convinced I don't ovulate until later than I thought... You could be the same!

I so hope you get that BFP really soon

 

[lucy_smith]

Dtd last night, so doubt bf will want to tonight but he is away Friday for the weekend so this will be our last shot :/

 

[London Kiwi]

It is hard when it feels so repetitive and unromantic!
I'm sure he will understand as he's away... Or maybe get a quick one in tomorrow morning

 

[lucy_smith]

af is due a week tomorrow, and tonight i have the usual feeling sooooo hungry, so think im out again for another month

 

[London Kiwi]

Ah crap Lucy. Hope she stays away... Keep us posted.

I'm away for work this week, really does suck using half your Sunday travelling 4 hours on a train!

 

[lucy_smith]

When did you guys test?
And get a bfp?
What test did you use ?
Just been and bought some early tests that detect 10miu !
Feeling a little nauseous today and cm has dried up completely don't know if that's a sign or not
I often feel nauseous but don't dry up

 

[laura109]

I got a positive 3 days before af 9dpo but it was very light... Test at 10dpo if u can or 2 days before af xx

 

[London Kiwi]

Hey Ladies,

Lucy I didn't test at all until I missed my period and even then it was a BFN

I got the faintest of faint lines two days late on an Internet cheapie then did an FRER at 3am the next morning and got a faint line but it was def a positive.

Ohhhh I'm excited for you!! Good luck and keep us posted lovely.

Hope you're well Laura!

 

[lucy_smith]

Af due on Monday and think I might test on Sunday
But out for dinner on sat night and I don't know if I should drink so I might test sat just incase, not that I will drink a lot, jut a couple glasses of wine

 

[London Kiwi]

Aggh I'd love a couple of glasses of red!
I haven't really been craving alcohol but I was a huge red wine drinker - we just had steak for dinner, a red would've gone down amazingly with it!

Good luck with the tests Lucy!! I'll be looking out for your update

How are you both getting on?
Weather is warming up again in London but shouldn't be over 30 which is the perfect temp, esp when on the underground etc!

Received our test results back today - 2 weeks to the day of our Nuchal testing.

We have been classed as low risk which is a relief to hear.

Given i'm 36 years old I was surprised about the Downs risk rating - I just assumed it would be higher risk.... pleasantly surprised!

Risk of Down's: 1 in 9,500
Risk of Trisomy 18: Less than 1 in 50,000
Risk of Trisomy 13: 1 in 10,000

I still haven't located the HB on the Doppler, just my own and the placenta which are both very evident, baby must be hiding or still a little small. Maybe when I'm 16 weeks I might be able to hear.

Oh and booked a gender scan as my husband is too impatient We are going for that on Weds 26th July so not long now!

Hi thats fantastic news. My results were 1 in 52,000 for downs. My mum had me at 36 too. Sounds like everything is well for you.

I am still spotting. Midwife has told me to take it easy no exercise etc. Had my 16 week check yesterday. Babies heartbeat was 148 and all seemed ok with me although my blood pressure was 90/60 which i thinks low and would explain the weakness.

My next scan is in 2 weeks and 4 days. Its coming around fast now. Ill only be 19 weeks but hope to have it confirmed to being a boy. How exciting that you have a gender scan soon. Cant wait to hear what you are having.

 

[lucy_smith]

My period got me 2 days late!!!! Raging!!

So booked in to a private clinic, who has the same dr working that I'm waiting to see on the NHS! Going to get tests done on Monday
This is going to be expensive....

 

[laura109]

Good luck Lucy it is awful the nhs waiting times. Private costs so much money but sometimes waiting doesn't feel like an option. How frustrated you must be feeling. Keep us updated cx

 

[London Kiwi]

3 days late... How bloody cruel!!

So hang on, it's the same Dr!? But on the NHS it would be free. Hmm! But you know, maybe it's best to just roll with it (& not think about the cost &#128556

We actually had signed up to the London clinic - they were having a free info day on IVF etc. But had to cancel our slot as got pregnant that cycle. Wishing and hoping the same for you Lucy!!

 

[laura109]

Alot of drs work in the nhs and can do private too now its truly falling apart in our county. Even the midwife said Lincolnshire is the worst for the nhs. We have the most basic hospital and everything is 45 minutes away. Sadly private healthcare is probably the best way if people can get the money together xx
