2 DPO - 2WW, Who's with me?? :D

everything

That's interesting - although, I have no idea where my cervix is anyway so I wouldn't have a clue! :D

My question is probably more to do with how like...swollen inside is. My DH notices when we DTD - VERY much notices. I would have a problem with using tampons if AF did arrive. It's very, very engorged...

TMI I know

Sorry

DH said Google said it's pregnancy but you never, ever know with Google.

I thought it would be best to see if anyone else know.

Oh and I just tried to Google it and I am sure I can get sacked with some of the answers... :D

everything

YAY we should know about the same time! We're going to test every morning but we've only recently moved so we're going to register with a GP on Thursday night and then take it from there (if I've not come on yet)

Yep and the trouble with temps is that by the time you get the spike, you have ovulated!

I am not sure what my cervix is but there is a lot of very squishy, very tight stuff and then something very hard and round.

Hi all,

Sorry Pickled that the witch got you. But good positive vibes for next month. Get on the temping bus with me!

Well, it should be 12DPO for me but I'm not convinced now that I OVd when I think or did or whether I OVd at all! Normally I get stained CM a few days before but nothing. A spotty chin and some cramping yesterday but that was it. Looking back through my old Fertility Friend charts, some of my cycles were 35 days, so I really have no idea what's happening.

I'll just wait for AF to arrive and then start from CD1 properly.

xx

I could be wrong but you wouldn't get the surge if you don't ovulate?

How late were you this month?

I have and I got that but right at the end.

I think that I`ll have to start temping, just to make sure I am ovulating. I get the LH surge each moth so I know I am gearing up for it, just need to make sure its happening.

OH sorry Pickled :(
I am going to get the all out stuff for next cycle. Pre-seed and fertility kits and everything. DH is happy for that too :D

That sucks. I am thinking maybe I just ovulated later or something as well?

Happily - today is day 3...

Pickled - if you don't ovulate, you do bleed but it's not TECHNICALLY an AF because it's not the lining of the womb and all that. My gynae said that you can tend to bleed for a bit longer though. You also aren't regular.

Maybe I had an anovulatory cycle last month? I just don't get why I wouldn't have ANY AF symptoms prior to AF but on day of AF and later, I am getting very tender boobs

Also - has anyone been pregnant before? My lady bits inside are very swollen and almost engorged. TMI coming up but I doubt I could use a tampon if AF did arrive. DH said the God of Google reckons it's a pg symptom - have had it for a while now. And no - we're not DTD (he is scared it will abort if there is anything up there) and I don't have any infections or any weird

Everything I'm hoping to hold out until Friday-I really hope I do! My cycle is normally between 29-32 days, today is day 29. I really don't want to get into analysing everything and testing early because il send myself crazy. I'm trying to keep busy and not think about it. I don't tend to get any symptoms of AF until it actually arrives so it's just a waiting game now!! Anyone else testing on Friday?

Kicking how late are you now? X

AF has arrived. Maybe will temp this month then to get a clearer picture whats going on, but as I got the positive OPK a couple of days late it sort of makes sense that AF was late too. It gave me a 37 day cycle.

You can still get af even if you have not ovulated ( annovulatory cycle). It is easy to see on a temp chart your temp would be up and down with no clear shift, whereas a normal chart would be lower temps pre ovulation with a rise after then a drop for af.

kicking its a minefield isnt it. Last time I had a super faint line on an internet cheapie, which was the allegedly most sensitive test I had and the same day really strong positives on less sensitive tests.

Oh and I have def AF symptoms, sore boobs, vile mood sat water retention etc etc.

If you dont ovulate do you get no AF at all? Its never happened to me before, Ive always had one!

Im sure its nothing too much to worry about, everyone has a freaky cycle now and again, but Ive got a new CBFM and I am itching to start using it and get on with a new cycle.

It depends - the First Response older version is very sensitive and picks up like 8mIU. The later versions pick up 25mIU.

Superdrug picks up 10mIU and Clear Blue picks up 25mIU

In the first week of pregnancy, you can be from 5mIU - 50mIU.

What this means is that the level of pregnancy hormone in your blood needs to be higher the higher the test. So the old version of First Response (I can't find it in Boots or Superdrug so it's not the standard one they sell now) is the best. Second should be Superdrug.

The other funny thing is that they take the tests based on the blood tests the women get after a positive. So if I test now on the Superdrug one, and go to the doctors in two days time and they test - whatever the blood level is is the level they advertise their sensitivity at.

For that reason, the advertised numbers on the packets may test at a lower sensitivity. It's not an exact science.

Which is rubbish :D

Pickle, you may not have ovulated just after your pos opk as an opk just indicates a rise in lh and does not mean that you have ovulated. You can sometimes gear up to ovulate and then for whatever reason ( stress etc.. ) your body decides not to. If you are charting then you will be able to see if your pos opk falls in line with your pos opk . Charting will give you lots more info about what is going on. If your cycle goes on much later and you are sure you are not pregnant then i think you ask the dr for something to bring on af. hth.

Did you do another this morning kicking

From what Ive read the First Response are supposed to be really good at picking up pregnancy early.

Still no news here as well! CD 38 now!
